D'YEING-MACHINE.

Specification o Letters Patent.

Application led May 2, 1907. Serial No. 371,378.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be :it known that I, Josnrn HUssoNe, a:

citizen of the Uni-ted States, residing in Camden, New Jersey, have invented certain Improvements in Dyeing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to certain improvements in circulating means for dyeing machines, having for its object the provision of circulating wheels so mounted that they will be entirely under the surface of the solution in the dye vat and so arranged that the dye liquor will be thoroughly mixed at each complete circulation. This object I attain in the following manner, reference being had to the accompanying drawings; in which2- Figure l, is a plan view ci part of a dye vat illust ating my improved circu,

lating means, the slats and sticks being omitted. Fig. 2, is a vertical section on the line QMQ, Fig. 1, of a complete dye vat, and Fig. 3, is a transverse vertical section on the line 3 3, Fig. 2.

Inl the above drawings A is the dye vat in which is a vertical partition a situated near one end of the vat and separating the circle lating chamber A -from the chamber A2 for receiving the material to be dyed. A zigzag partition B separates the circulating chamber A into two compartments a and a2 and consists as shown in Fig. 3, ot two vertical sections b-J), two oppositely inclined sections b at each end and a central section o2 formed with its members inclined as shown. There are openings in each verti cal section om?) for the reception of the circulating wheels C-C, which are mounted on a transverse shaft D, and the blades c of each circulating wheel are preferably set in opposite directions so that the liquor will be drawn through the sections o in the direction indicated by the arrows. The. two currents -from each side of the cir/,ulating chamber come together at the center in the lower half of the chamber t2 and thoroughly mix, one with the other, so that when they pass under the partition a and into the dye ing chamber A2 they are in proper condition to come in contact with the material to be dyed. It is to be noted that this circulation and stirring of the dye liquor takes place each time it makes the complete circuit of the tank.

The shaft D is mounted in bearings Zwet provided with stutling boxes d shaped in the ordinary manner and packed so as t0 prevent escape of dye liquor. 0n the end of the shaft in the present instance are two i'ast pulleys eme and a loose pulley e2 so arranged that a straight. and a cross belt may be used. The object oit this construction is to permit the direction of the rotation of the shaft to bercverscd so as to cause the dye liquor to flow lirst in the direction of the arrows, Fig. 3, and then by shifting the belts, the direction of rotation of the shaft can be reversed so that the direction of llow of liquor will also be reversed. This is very essential in certain types of machines and is completely set lorth and claimed in my Patent No. 822,844, dated June 5, 1906.

VWhile I have shown the sections 1) and b2 of the partition B inclined so as to direct the flow of the liquor in the circulating cham.- ber, they may be arranged horizontally without departing ilrom the essential features of the im'ention.

ln order that the circulation may be as com plete as possible and to thoroughly miic the liquor in the dyeA vat, I preferably ar range the perforattal bottom in the form oi' slats a? as shown in iiig. 2, and I also make the perforated top at above the yarn in the same manner. 'the slats in the bottom oft the vat are made in independent sections and the slats et each section are arranged on edge, as shinvn, being spaced a given distance apart so as to allow for the circulation oil. the liquor and yet prevent the yarn passing through the openings between the slats. ,By arranging the slats on edge it is possible Jfor them to be made relatively narrow as they can be of any depth desired.

ln making the sections of slats I prefer-- ably space the slats by blocks o6 and then run bolts through the several slats and blocks, eountcrsinking the heads and nuts of the bolts so that one section can be placed close to another, the openings between the slats throughout the entire vat being the same.

The upper slats are mounted on the yarn carrying iti-ame and are arranged in substantially the same manner as described in connection with the slats a.

The frame I consists of side members carrying sticks a5 and uprights z' to which the hoisting mechanism 1s attached :-the uprights being, however, illustrated in Fig. 2 as broken away.

Under operating conditions, the dye liq-
