DEFINITION
Classification: 112/80.72
Feed via intermeshing slats:
(under subclass 80.7) Device for advancing the strand including two sets of bars, one set of which overlaps and opposes a second set in an intermeshing area, each bar having a projected edge which contacts the strand when in the intermeshing area. The two sets of bars are driven to advance the strand by alternately passing the strand from a projected edge of one bar of the one set to a projected edge of an opposing bar of the second set.
(1) Note. The bars are often provided with indentations in the strand contacting projected edges which indentations vary in depth are are configured so as to cause a variation in the rate of strand advance.
