An adjustment mechanism comprising: (a) a lower pultrusion; (b) an upper pultrusion; and (c) a plurality of cam blocks located between the lower pultrusion and the upper pultrusion; wherein the plurality of cam blocks are longitudinally movable relative to the lower pultrusion and the upper pultrusion so that as the plurality of cam blocks longitudinally move, at least a portion of the upper pultrusion moves away and/or angularly relative to the lower pultrusion.

Adjustment mechanism

Improved height and angle adjustment mechanisms and methods for producing paper includes a plurality of height and angle adjustment mechanisms arranged in the forming or wet section of a Fourdrinier. Glide shoes and cam-blocks having sloped grooves are arranged to be driven within a recess of an upper pultrusion assembly to change the angle or height of a particular foil blade. Actuators extend or withdraw a connecting rod, coupled to the cam-blocks, to influence heights and angles of various foils blades.
