| Abstract: |
Apparatus and method for producing a novel drawn film by propelling individual carriages along opposed loops from a first speed abutted in stacks in carriage collection sections to a second speed space apart in a drawing section of a tenter frame and to a third speed in stack forming sections where the carriages return to the first speed in the stacks. First primaries positioned adjacent one part of each loop develop electromagnetic waves for engaging synchronous secondaries attached to active carriages to provide controlled spacing of such carriages, and second primaries adjacent another part of the loop develop other electromagnetic waves for engaging hysteresis secondaries attached to active and to passive carriages to provide controlled abutting of the carriages.

We claim:
1. An apparatus for drawing a web of plastic film by propelling individual carriages having tenter clips attached thereto at predetermined speeds in opposed loops defined by a pair of carriage guide tracks positioned opposite each other, using linear motors, such apparatus includes:
- first elongated primaries positioned opposite each other on forward sides of the loops;
- second elongated primaries positioned opposite each other on return sides of the loops;
- a plurality of active carriages guided around the tracks, each having a synchronous secondary attached thereto positioned adjacent the first primaries for propelling the active carriages, synchronously, in pairs, at predetermined speeds, in a film processing section of the tenter frame to draw the film gripped by the tenter clips;
- each of the active carriages further having a hysteresis secondary attached thereto positioned adjacent the second primaries for propelling the active carriages in and through stack forming sections and into stacks of carriages on the return sides of the loops.
