Cross laid strand web traverse mechanism - loops strand about moving retainers running as two spaced rows

摘要

Appts. for traversing a strand to form a cross-laid web, operates to form loops and lay them about moving retainers running as two spaced rows. A strand input guide is located above and between the rows, and at least one pair of rotary strand traverse systems operate to form the loops and traverse the strand between the two rows. The loops are disengaged from the traverse systems and deposited on the retainers, specifically by doff blades. Specifically each traverse system comprises two eccentrically mounted discs each with traverse hooks. Appts. is used for laying yarn webs for reinforcing paper etc. or forming scrim fabrics.
