Patching hole in thermoplastic fabric in paper-making machine - by cutting elliptical hole, spot-welding overlapping patch, and pressing while heating ultrasonically

Fabrics which contain thermoplastic threads are bonded together by overlapping them where they are softened by ultrasonic heating and are pressed together. The whole area of the overlap is heated at the same time, and the fabrics are pressed together at a pressure which brings them almost into one single plane. The process is particularly intended for use with thermoplastic polyester threads. To repair a hole in the sheet-forming fabric at the wet end of a paper machine the fabric is made taut as in service and is placed on a supporting plate. The hole is then punched out into an elliptical shape with sharp edges, and the plate is replaced with a steel plate. An ultra-sonic welder is centered in position over the hole.A patch is placed over the hole so as to overlap 1-3mm over the edges and the patch is spot welded at 2 or 3 points to fix it. An ultrasonic sonotrode is brought down to heat the overlapping area and to press the area with the patch. For this purpose the sonotrode is a ring ...
