construction of press section 100b is depicted in fig3 where instead of or in addition to the suction box 16 located upstream of the second press location 2 there is used a transport or transfer wire 17 or the like which presses the paper web pw from below against the upper felt 13 this modified construction also affords an operationally reliable transfer of the paper web pw between the first press location 1 and the second press location 2 a further advantageous constructional possibility useful for the same purpose would entail the use of a blow box beneath the paper web pw again schematically represented by the broken or dashed lines 110 apart from the different constructions of press sections 100 100a and 100b as respectively depicted and considered with respect to fig1 to 3 employing the upper situated extended nip press rolls 8 and 10 in the first press location 1 and the second press location 2 respectively fig4 depicts a variant construction of press section 100d employing an arrangement containing a lower situated extended nip press roll 8 arranged at the first press location 1 and on top of which there is arranged an upper counter roll 7 similar to the previously considered embodiments the paper web pw can be transferred by means of two looped or endless felts 11 and 12 from the first press location 1 and the upper looped or endless felt 11 can be raised or lifted away from the paper web pw a suction roll 24 is mounted beneath the lower felt 12 to ensure for positive entrainment of the paper web pw this solution can be advantageously combined with the different constructions previously discussed for transfer of the paper web.
