Apparatus for discharging fibers from between the convolutions of a coiled web

摘要

An apparatus for dispensing fibers for use in the making of fibrous concrete is disclosed in which the fibers are dispensed from an elongated web which has been coiled with the fibers placed within the layers of the coils. The individual concrete reinforcing fibers are deposited in a uniform layer on an elongated web, which is then coiled to form a package. The dispensing device supports a spindle on which the coiled package is placed. The end of the coil of the package is wound around a second spindle which is driven by a rotary motor, and as the web is progressively uncoiled and wound around this second spindle, the fibers are discharged from between the convolutions of the coil.
