Abstract:
Fabric having a large breadth and length wound in the form of a cylindrical spiral roll around a reel with a space provided between respective adjacent turns is treated with a treating liquid in a cylindrical vessel while causing relative motion of the roll of fabric and the treating liquid. This new method enables the broad and lengthy fabric such as carpet to be treated uniformly throughout its entire portions with no loss of feel and without any development of entanglement, clustering and bending of the pile of such fabric.
Abstract:
An improved collapsible yarn dye tube assembly is disclosed comprising two tubular members, one of which telescopes an initial limited distance into the other. Both tubular members have an outer end and an inner end with the telescoping arrangement taking place at the inner ends thereof. A plurality of openings or perforations around the tubular members and extending at least a major portion of the length thereof permit dye liquor to pass therethrough when yarn is wound around the dye tube and the package is placed in a dye kettle. The outer ends of the tubular members possess thickened wall portions so as to permit an abutting relationship between adjacent dye tubes whereby a solid relationship is established and whereby pressure transmitted from one dye tube to the next for collapsing thereof is evenly transmitted along the tube. Dye spindle alignment means are also provided on the inner periphery of the members to center the yarn package around the dye spindle. Alignment means may also be provided at the inner ends of the tubular members to prevent blockage of the perforations upon collapse of the dye tube. Further, the dimensions of the assembled dye tube establish driving contact between the tube and a winder drum at least at both outer ends and the middle of the assembly to improve winding the package produced.

Abstract:
A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSFERRING A PACKAGE OF YARN SUPPORTED BY A RIGID IMPERFORATE TRANSFER CORE TO A FORAMINOUS, RESILIENT DYE CORE OF PREDETERMINED SMALLER DIAMTER COMPRISING, IN SEQUENCE, THE STEPS OF INSERTING THE RESLIENT CORE INTO THE TRANSFER CORE; AND, REMOVING THE TRANSFER CORE WHILE PREVENTING AXIAL MOVEMENT BETWEEN THE YARN PACKAGE AND RESILIENT CORE.
Abstract:
A dyeing chamber has a fluid-tight cover in its front wall, and has a drive shaft extending through a fluid-tight seal in its rear wall. A fitting on the end of the drive shaft is adapted to be coupled selectively with any one of a variety of goodscarrying members, for rotating such member in the chamber.
Abstract:
A dyeing apparatus for dyeing skeins of yarn. Yarn skeins are mounted over reels which are rotatable through varying angular displacements. The reels are mounted to a reel frame which may be vertically displaced thereby elevating or lowering the yarn carrying reels. Spray mechanisms are mounted to a base frame below and parallel each of the reels for spraying dye liquid on the skeins. The spray pattern of liquid emitted from the spray bar mechanisms is controlled to a predetermined flow angle. A bending displacement mechanism adjusts for the weight of skeins positioned on the reels and maintains the reels in a horizontal plane after being loaded. A longitudinal inclination adjusting mechanism maintains the reel frame in a horizontal plane when the longitudinal loading of the reels is unbalanced.
Abstract:
A machine for full width treatment of textile material wound onto a perforated beam wherein a chamber is mounted on a frame with supports extending into the chamber for receiving the beam from a transport device, the beam being supported at both ends during rotation for treatment, one support holding the beam during transfer from the transfer device.
Abstract:
The disclosure embraces a method of dyeing and an apparatus comprising a horizontally extending generally cylindrical article dyeing vessel which is provided with a bank of nozzles extending along the interior bottom wall portion of the vessel; the nozzles are disposed to discharge liquid in a generally tangential direction with respect to the interior of the vessel; the nozzles are divided into groups each of which is connected to the out-put of a pump through one or more conduits. The conduit or conduits which deliver fluid to the nozzles are provided with a valve means so that the output of the nozzles can be controlled whereby a substantially uniform, circular fluid flow may be obtained. The vessel is provided with a suction liquid outlet slot on one side of the nozzles opposite the direction of fluid delivery and which extends the length of the vessel to enable the vessel to handle variably sized loads. A large unloading valve is provided to enable the vessel to be rapidly emptied and fluid nozzles are arranged on the interior of the vessel to flush articles out through the unloading valve.
Abstract:
A drum rotatable about its longitudinal axis is equipped with an outer perforated jacket, the space between the drum and jacket being divided into separate chambers and means for supplying fluid to the chambers whereby the fluid will pass through the perforations to contact thread or sheet material wound on the jacket by reason of centrifugal force, pumping pressure, or both.
