REINFORCED PAPER PRODUCT AND METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MAKING IT

摘要

Wire reinforced paper products wherein wires are affixed to a paper layer or included within a paper structure with at least one paper layer conforming to the contour of the wires to supplement the rigidity produced by the wires and a corrugated paper structure including wires disposed therein. The paper products are manufactured in continuous processes which enable the use of one or two sets of parallel wires, the latter producing a wire grid structure. In the manufacture of corrugated structures one or two sets of wires may be included in the corrugated portion and the overlying layer or layers and in so doing the structural strength and moisture resistant characteristics of the resultant corrugated board may be increased several fold without materially increasing the cost of the board as compared with board using relatively heavy paper in order to achieve increased strength.
