ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a steam-shower apparatus and method including a supply of steam which is fed through a Coanda nozzle and along a path running adjacent one surface of the apparatus which is heated to a temperature in excess of 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The sheet to which the steam is to be applied runs adjacent this same surface of the machine, but in a direction opposite to the direction of the flow of steam. In one embodiment, the heated surface is located relative to the sheet so that an upstream edge of the apparatus is spaced from said sheet by a greater distance than is the downstream edge of the apparatus which preferably contacts the sheet to back pressure the steam between the apparatus and sheet. The flow of steam runs the entire length of this surface heating the sheet as it flows in the opposite direction. The apparatus may be divided into several sections so that the sheet may be profiled along certain regions which are defined by these sections. In addition, means are included for altering the volume of flow to any one of the particular sections. To create these sections a series of ridges extend from the heated surface.
