ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an edge blade attached to an edge guide for removing an edge of a falling curtain. The edge of the falling curtain is intercepted by the edge blade and is vacuumed away by a vacuum tube disposed near the edge blade wherein the blade is extending from the edge guide into the falling curtain to intercept a part of the free falling curtain and positioning the blade above the impingement of the falling curtain on the support wherein the blade is angled into the free falling curtain so that the blade is closest to the support where the part of the free falling curtain is intercepted and farthest from the support at the edge guide. Air to the vacuum tube is blocked from the outboard direction, and the tube is directed to draw air from the inboard direction towards the curtain.
