Serial No. 338,086.
This invention relates to apparatus for passing fabrics in rope orm or other lengthy textile materials lengthwise through dye or other liquid, and especially apparatus of this class in which the material is repeatedly passed through the liquid, the progress of the repetition being transversely of the direc- Among the objects at which I aim are that the travel of the material, arranged in a horizontal succession of coils, shall be lengthwise of itself successively through separate compartments and always from one to the next without interference by their separating wall or partition and with the minimum oi' rubbing contact; that if flow of the liquid be allowed through each compartment and from one to the next such flow Vthrough any one compartment shall be lengthwise ot' the goods and, as preferred, in the direction of travel ofthe material therethrough, thus to avoid disturbance and -possible snarling or congestion; and that the iiow from compartment to compartment shall nevertheless be oppositely to the direction of progress of the material romcompartment to compartment, whereby, for example Yin washing, the unwashed goods shall enter the soiled liquid irst but in leaving leave the clean li uid. Y
In th drawing, Fig. 1 is a plan of one form of Vapparatus yembodying the invention;
Fig. 2 is a section on line 2 2, Fig.- 1; Fig. 3 is a side elevation; Figs. 4 and 5 are fragmentary elevations of partitions seen in Figs. l and 2;
Fig. 6 is a plan of anotherrform; Fig. 7 a section on line 7 7, Fig. 6; Fig. 8 a fragmentary section on line 8 8, Fig; 6; and l Fig.- 9 a side elevation of what is shown in Fi 6.
Figs. 1 to 5.-Let l denote a vat open at the top, as usual,`2 and 3 -designates two sets of4 partitions alternating with each other and extending up from the ibottom of the vat to more or less near its top. The two sets reach respectively from opposite sides of the vat and have their ends 2? 3a turned off all in the same direction so that each such end 2av or 3a abuts a partition 3 or 2. Considered apart,
Aeach partition viewed in plan is bent so that its end portions or legs are angularly related to each other. Thus the vat comprises a series of compartments 4.-5 having extensions 4a- 5a reaching lengthwise of the series in the same direction, each extension 4a being at one side of the series and laterally opposed to an adjoining compartment and each extension 5a being at the other side of the series and laterally opposed to an adjoining compartment 4, the term laterally opposed being as here used taken to mean with respect to the series.
Let 6 designate supports for horizontal guides' 7 for the material A to be treated. (They may be ordinary cylindrical reels, or oval reels as in Fig. 9.) The material A according'to this inventionA is trained over one guide then under and around and so over the other guide and then under the first guide, and so on repeatedly, the stretches of each coil or volute of the material between the guides hanging down in the vat, and it will be noted that each coil is crossed between the guides; this manner of training the material in coils or volutes (each having its stretches between the guides crossed) is effected so that the succession or repetition of coils progresses longitudinally of the guide, or as will appear, extends transversely of the travel of the material through the vat. The material, according to the usual practice, may-be caused to travel through the ,vat by rotating one or both the guides-preferably, ofv course, both ,guides which then should best rotate reversely as shown by the arrows in Fig; 3, 7a being a crossed-belt-and-pulley system yconnecting them. n
Now, if the guides with the material trained around the same as shown and just described be combined with a vat constructed substantially as I have described and so that the guides extend lengthwise of its series of compartments the material may be made to travel through the compartments one after another without any interference by the bent-off end of any partition, and with liquid in the vat there will be substantially no rubbing or other contact of the material therewith. (Such a cording to the usual arrangement, the
stretches were not crossed.
The liquid in the vat may be quiescent,- or non-flowing. But in certain operations, as
' tin-washing, phosphating and phosphatewashing, it is kept flowing. It should be noted that according to this invention as shown and described both stretches of any coil or volute,'in themselves traveling in opposite directions, are in the vat-thus distinguishing from the ordinary or uncrossed arrangement of the material in which only the lower stretch is in the vat-and that those travelling in one direction are in the alternate compartmentsv and those travelling in the opposite direction are in the remaining compartments.Y This makesv ity possible to provide forv flo-w of the liquid successively through the'compartments and ineach longitudinally of the stretch of the material therein, so that just as the travel of the material is first in one direction through one compartment, then in the opposite direction through the next compartment and then in the first direction through the next compartment, and so on, the flow of the liquid may be likewise, or either against or with the travel of the material in all the compartments, with the advantage in the latter case of avoiding snarling and disturbance of the material. Of course the iiow might begin at the same end of the vat at which the material enters (or at the top of Fig. 1). But I prefer to enter the liquid at the opposite end in some instances (notablywashing) so that the progress of the flow successively through the compartments will be opposite to that of the material successively through them and the washed goods will finally emerge from clean wash.- ing liquid. The drawings (Figs. 1 to 5) show the valved liquid inlet 8 entering the compartment 4 at the end of the vat opposite that at which the material enters and the outlet 9 at the other end, (which outlet may be a goose-neck to maintain the liquid in the vat at a suitable level and have a valved means 9a for drawing olf the liquid). A iiow responding to all the conditions specied above by way of example will be maintained if at the right in Fig. 1 all the partitions 3 and at the left all the partitions 2 have ports 10-11, respectively, affording liquid communication between the compartments, the former (l0) being at the tops and the latter (l1) at the bottoms of the partitions so as to insure all solid matter being carried along and finally evacuated. The long horizontal arrows in Fig. 1 indicate the direction of the fabric travel and the short horizontal arrows that of the liquid flow; the vertical arrow at the left and right indicates the direction of progress of the material andof the flow, respectively, rom compartment to compartment. Figs. Q to 9.--In some cases it may be desired to evacuate sections of the vat independently. Thus in Figs. 6 to 9 each such section (here comprising only one compartment) has its own inlet 12 and outlet, the latter consisting of a well 13 having adrain-hole 14 at the bottom and being formed by a dam 15 which joins the two partitions iianking the compartment but is lower than the same. Ports of communicationbetween any two such sections or receptacles thus formed are in this case omitted. v At 16 is shown the usual roller Which bears on one of the reels to squeeze out the surplus liquid fromth'e material 'before it issues from the apparatus.
One advantage in providing two guides around which the coils of the material ex,-
tend, each crossed, is that if the guides be rotated reversely they will influence the goods uniformly: for instance, if the guides are oval reels,so that they act to pile the goods in pleats as indicated at 18 in Fig. 9 there will be equal lengths of goo-ds as between one reel and a pile on the one hand and the other reel and pile on the other.
I-Iaving thus fully described my invention, what I claim is:
' 1. In combination, a horizontal series of open-top liquid compartments respectively having extensions reaching lengthwise of the series in the same direction, the extension of each alternate compartment being at one side of the series and laterally opposed to an adjoining compartment and the extension ot each of the other compartments being at the other side of the series and also laterally opposed to an adjoining compartment, and spaced guides above and extending lengthwise of the series and around which each length of textile material to be treated, travelling lengthwise of itself, is adapted to extend in a successionotl coils progressing longitudinally of the series with each coil crossed between the guides and its stretches between said guides extending into said compartments.
