DE WITT O. FARRINGTON, OF LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 124,427, dated March 12, 1872.
1, DE WITT O. FARRINGTON, of Lowell, in the county of Middlesex and Commonwealth ,of Massachusetts, have invented certain Improvements in the Apparatus used for Press- Dyeing, of which the following is a specification:
My invention relates to certain improvements in the apparatus employed for pressdyeing purposes, and is especially valuable when applied to the manufacture of flags and signals. By the use of my improved apparatus the stripes of the American flag are produced with more cleanly-cut edges, and with less trouble, loss of material, and expense of making than by the use of the apparatus commonly employed for press-dyeing.
A is a bed-plate, onwhich rests a series of hollow rectangular frame-dies of wood or metal, arranged one above the other, and marked 1, 2, 3, respectively. Each frame-die is secured and kept in form by a sufficient number of wood or metal stay-rods. Surmounting and resting upon the said dies is the plate B, similar in construction to the plate A, and forming with it, by means of the cross-beams c 0 c and d d d, in connection with the screw-bolts f f f, a clamp, which can easily be adjusted to a required pressure at any 'given point in the press, and Which, when in use, saves the fabric between the dies when the apparatus is immersed in the dyeingliquor.
The press above described is used as follows: The top plate B, together with all the dies but the one which rests on the bottom A, are first removed; the fabric to be dyed is then placed in one or more layers, as required, upon the frame-die 1, such portion of it as it is desired to color being left projecting from its edge; frame 2 is then placed exactly over and upon frame 1, and the fabric is again placed upon it as it was on frame 1. This operation is continued until the press is full, or till the requisite quantity is disposed of. When it is 1 desirable to dye the fabric in one continuous piece of indefinite length, the cloth may be passed from die 1 to 2, from die 2 to 3, &c., through an opening, either beveled or square, in the dies, as shown in frame-die No.2. The top plate B is then placed in position, and the nuts upon the screw-bolts f f f are turned down till the whole bundle is clamped firmly together. When it is immersed in the dye-vat that portion of the fabric which is squeezed between the frame-dies is kept from contact with the dye-liquor, and therefore retains its original color; the remainder, being exposed to the liquor, is colored thereby.
By the press-dyeing method commonly in use I have found it impossible to produce a stripe wider than five or six inches with cleancut edges. This is owing to the fact that the dies used are not hollow, but solid and it is a practical impossibility to clamp solid dies of a greater width than that above mentioned so that there shall be no cavity between said dies where the dyeing-liquor may penetrate and disturb the regularity of the stripe-line. By my improved method the frame-dies, being hollow and light, yield, adjust, and fit themselves to each other and to the clamp-plates with a comparatively light pressure.
I disclaim the patents granted to John Holt March 26, 1867, for method of making dies for figures in press-dyed fabrics, and April 26, 1870, for improvement in signal and other flags.
I do not claim as my invention the process of pressdyeing, as said process was patented by Edward Brierly December 11, 1849; but
What I do claim as my invention is-- The combination of the hollow or framed dies 1 2 3 with the other operating parts, the whole constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
