The invention concerns a device for opening and distributing a bundle of filaments
when producing a nonwoven textile web by a technique which consists in: extruding
melted organic polymer through a die perforated with holes, so as to form a bundle
or curtain of filaments; then directing the extruded filaments by drawing by means
of one or several fluid jets; and finally, receiving the bundle of filaments in
the form of a web on a mobile conveyor belt. The invention is characterised in
that it consists of an assembly arranged downstream of the outlet of the drawing
assembly and separate therefrom, said assembly comprising, arranged in the proximity
of the drawing slot outlet, a diffuser comprising an intake zone shaped as a convergent
nozzle extending over the whole width of the installation opposite the drawing
slot outlet producing the web, extended by a divergent nozzle, said assembly being
associated with a ramp electrostatically charging the filaments before they are
received on the receiving belt.
