SHEET MANUFACTURING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18322628 titled 'SHEET MANUFACTURING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a sheet manufacturing apparatus that is used to produce sheets made of fibers.

  • The apparatus includes a pipe that supplies a material containing fibers.
  • A supply direction change section is included to change the movement direction of the material supplied from the pipe.
  • A reducer section is placed downstream of the supply direction change section to decrease the movement speed of the material.
  • An accumulation section is located downstream of the reducer section to accumulate the material and form a web.
  • The apparatus simplifies the process of manufacturing sheets by efficiently controlling the movement and accumulation of the fiber material.
