Abstract
A method and apparatus for opening a nip in an extended-nip press in which a nip is formed by a pair of rolls. A loading shoe of the loading members of an extended-nip press roll in the nip is shifted to an open position and apart from the glide-belt mantle when the nip is opened. An inner end-flange part of the end flange is operatively coupled with bearing means of a glide-belt mantle and is rotated in a direction parallel to the face of a central axle of the extended-nip press roll, whereby the glide-belt mantle is removed from contact with a back-up roll since a central axis of the end-flange part is located at a distance from a central axis of the extended-nip press roll.
