PROCESS OF CONDITIONING TEXTILE MATERIAL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed June 17, 1909. Serial No. 502,817.

Patente d Nov. 14, 1911.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ISAAC E. PALMER, a citizen of the .United States, residing at Middletown, in the county of Middlesex and State of Connecticut, have invented an Improvement in Processes of Conditioning TextileMaterial, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters on the drawings representing like parts.

This invention relates to processes for conditionin textile material in narrow band like condition, and more particularly relates to the treatment of warp for subsequent use as warp or filling.

The textile material in the conditioning process herein set forth is treated by a liquor, which is preferably a dyeing liquor.

Heretofore a mass or chain of warp has been prepared for passage through and treatment in a dyeing vat by wrapping the mass or chain spirally with yarn or thread in order to preserve the integrity of the mass. This procedure has involved the use of special mechanism for wrapping and unwrapping the yarn or thread from about the mass of warp, as well as involving much time in the preparation of the warp.

By my process the textile material which is preferably chain warp is twisted while in a chain or band upon itself or axially of the mass and in this condition is passed through the treating liquon, The chain warp may be of the usual or any suitable length. It is evident that the textile material may be twisted by the apparatus from which it is delivered into the vat or receptacles contwist to a taining the treating liquor, substantially as disclosed in my co-pending application No. 452,134, Sept. 8, 1908, or 1t may be twisted independently of such apparatus or mechanism, or the warp may be twisted during and as 3. art of the warping process. It may be twlsted either mechamcally or manually. The material is referably uniformly twisted, but only su ciently to keep the threads collected, as, for example, a single am. I am aware that it has been the practice to braid two, three or more taining the individual warps collected together. Any suitable nu nber of warp ends may be united into the n [ELSS that is twisted and treated, as for exanple a very few or five hundred or more. B twisting the warp as described the ends ar: kept from straggling or becoming misplaced. Preferably the warp thus twisted :nd subjected to a treating liquor, such as a dyeing liquor is used for warp threads. After the warp or other textile material has been passed through the treating liql or, it is untwisted in any suitable manner.

Having thus describel one manner of practicing my invention I desire it to be understood that althougl specific terms are employed, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense and mt for purposes of limitation, the scope of tie invention being set forth in the following claims.

1. The process of conditioning spun warp consisting in twisting a c liain of spun warp composed of a series of spun warp strands, along the longitudinal ax is of said chain, at infrequent intervals, ther :by merely to hold said war s collected, ii subjecting said twisted c ain to the unform action of a treating liquor, and in finally untwisting said uniformly treated, t" visted warp chain.

2. The process of dyeir g spun warp yarn consisting in twistin a warp chain composed of a series 0 spun warp strands, along the longitudinal an is of said chain at infrequent intervals, then :by merely to hold said warp collected, in su'l jecting said twisted chain to the uniform :1 :tion of a treatingliquor, and in finally umwisting said uniformly dyed, spun warp hain.

3. The process of condi ioning spun warp 'consisting in twisting a 01 lain of spun warp composed of a series of spun warp threads, In testimony whereof, I have signed my at substantially one yard intervals, along name to this specification, in the presence of the longitudinal axis of said chain, sub'eottwo subscribing witnesses.
