Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for applying foamed liquor to a web through a four-sided container.
  • Such devices are known per se. Such a device is shown and described in DE-A-25 23 062.
  • This laid-open specification shows a method and a device for uniformly applying liquid treatment liquors to textile fabrics, the liquor being fed to the device in a foamed form.
  • a device for foaming the liquor under pressure which is composed of a mixing chamber designed as a foam generator with separate feeds for compressed air and the liquor fed from a storage container.
  • devices for quantity measurement for the medium in question as well as related control valves are provided, and the foam produced is transported to the application device by means of pipes.
  • Devices are also available for the transport of the material web.
  • the old foam will bring less paint liquor than new foam added. As a result, it is necessary to supply the foam supplied to the device with a constant consumption. Even when placing an order directly on the goods, the foam can absorb them differently, e.g. with different materials on different surfaces.
  • the invention consists in that a displacement device is provided in the container, preferably above a sieve or a sieve stencil in the area of an application device or a doctor blade, which displaces or converts the supplied foam to be applied.
  • a further development of the device is that above the screen or the screen template or the goods, across the working width, a device is provided with partitions and an oscillation or rotary drive, which displaces the foam supplied in its position.
  • the partitions can be simple, straight sheets which are arranged on a rod or the like. They can be inclined and have a rotary drive, the partitions covering the movement of the entire or approximately the entire open bottom surface of the container.
  • the oscillation drive is preferably designed to be changeable, so that the size of the oscillation movement can be set.
  • the oscillation drive or the rotary drive can be designed to be adjustable, as a result of which the speed of the oscillation or rotary movement can be changed.
  • the partitions can consist of spaced-apart sheets which are adapted to the screen printing stencil in the lower region and which extend to the doctor blade, the partitions being arranged upright in front of the doctor blade, preferably a roller doctor blade, and adapting to their shape.
  • a wide variety of devices which move the foam and adapt it to its respective consumption can be used in order to achieve constant consumption of the foamed liquor, even if the open sample areas in the screen printing stencil have only a partial consumption.
  • the device sets the foam in motion over the entire working width.
  • a container 2 is arranged inside the screen printing stencil, above which a feeder device 3 is arranged for the foamed foam, preferably with a number of outlet connections 30.
  • the foamed dye liquor or any other textile finishing liquor is introduced into this container.
  • a doctor blade 4 In front of the container there is a doctor blade 4 and a displacement device 5 is arranged inside the container. This should move the transferred foam on the screen printing template.
  • this displacement device 5 consists of bulkheads 50 which are arranged on a rod 51 at intervals from one another.
  • the partitions 50 can be simple sheets, the lower edge of which bridges approximately the distance between a wall 20 of the container 2, which lies on the inlet side of the screen printing stencil, and the doctor blade 4.
  • a doctor blade other than a roller doctor blade can also be used, for example a doctor blade or the like.
  • the container 2 can also be designed as a slot doctor blade, i.e.
  • a suction device 7 can be arranged under the container 2, for example a suction box provided with a slot 70, connected to a suction pump 71.
  • the position of the suction device can be changeable. It is essential in the present context that the displacement device 5 fills the space between the supply effort 20 and the squeegee wall or squeegee 4. It is advantageous if the partitions 50 do not touch the wall of the doctor blade 4. They can be adapted in shape, but do not attack sensitive squeegee walls themselves.
  • Fig. 2 the device is shown in plan view.
  • the container 2 is cut.
  • the printing unit 10 consists of side bearing heads 11 and 12 which, in a manner known per se, carry a number of rollers 13, one or more of which can be driven and around which the screen printing stencil belt 1 is guided.
  • Such printing units are known per se.
  • the container 2, in which the displacement device 5 lies, is arranged inside each printing unit.
  • the partitions 50 and the rod 51 are clearly visible in FIG. 2.
  • the oscillation drive can consist in a manner known per se from the engine and transmission with crank or connecting rod or rocker arm, depending on what is desired by the user. It is essential that the oscillation stroke is adjustable and the speed is adjustable. It is advantageous to control the run of the screen printing stencil together with the speed of the drive.
  • FIG. 3 shows an exemplary embodiment with inclined bulkheads 50, with no rotary drive but a rotary drive 80 being provided.
  • the bulkheads 50 which are preferably round in this case, move in such a way that they move the foam back and forth.
  • This embodiment has the disadvantage that not a surface is attacked, but rather the partition 50, which is round in the form of a disk, only touches the screen printing stencil tape 1 linearly.
  • the partitions 50 have U-shaped recesses 150 for easier displacement and also for the replacement of individual partitions 50 if one or the other has broken in two.
  • the foam application can be carried out through a sieve or through a template.
  • the device will only be used if a screen or stencil is present, but it is also possible to apply the foam directly to the substrate. In this case, the device must either work slightly above the substrate or the substrate must have a relatively smooth surface.
  • the screens or stencils can be patterned or unpatterned.
  • screen printing machines or machines similar to "screen printing” it is particularly important to use the sliding device for the foam so that the different consumption levels are balanced out and no old foam forms on the screen, which has a different consistency than new due to the natural decay of the bubbles supplied foam above the areas that consume more foam.
  • the first step is to apply paint, or to liquor or foamed dyes. This can be done according to the pattern or for coloring the substrate.
  • latex foam can also be applied as a layer.
  • the material web can also be "treated" by the foam, e.g. can be washed by foamed equipment chemicals or also.
  • webs with a fibrous structure such as textiles of all kinds, including e.g. also carpets, pile goods, velvet, also fleeces, but also felt.
  • textiles of all kinds including e.g. also carpets, pile goods, velvet, also fleeces, but also felt.
  • the transition from non-woven to paper is possible, but possibly also plastics and other solid, flat goods that are to be “coated”.
  • the device according to the invention is set somewhat lower or higher. So it either lies on the goods, on the sieve or the template, or works somewhat at a distance from the sieve or the template or the goods, that is, more inside the area inside the container.
  • the device can lie in front of any application device or doctor blade 4 and the term "doctor blade" is not to be understood in any way restrictive.
  • the device can also be integrated in an application device or doctor blade, for example if one of the container walls also serves as a doctor blade.
  • the suction box alone can also serve as the application device, in which case a wall of the container opposite the supply effort 20 serves as a doctor blade wall in order to hold the foam above the suction device.
