To all wiwm t 'may conc/ern: i y

Be it lrnovvn that LHoWARD'M. DUDLEY, .1 citizen of the United States, and a resident of Philadelphia, inthe county of Philadelphia. and State of T'Pennsylvania, have invvented certain A'new and useful'lrnproveniente in Fabric-Treating Devices. of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to yimproveni'cnts' in liber treating machines andrefers particularly to machines` adapted'to :the dyeing,A

steaming :and crahloing off piece goods.

ln the dyeing of 'goods in the piece, the greatest are inust be exercisefdhin order to cause complete penetration of the dye'stuff and even shades.

The dyeings ofxnany dyestuiis require an a iter-treatment ,with such 'products 'as metal-' lic-salts, or oxidizing agents 'in lorder to develop the best results. "It is alsoknecessary to thoroughly Wash the goods at various;`

stages of the operation and to dry theni when finished.

each one of these operations yhasfan g effect upon the results, 1t is essentral'that all of the treatments be runiform throughout vthe fiber and that they bel readily controlled.`

(.)ne object -ofiny invention isa device in which the piece goods may 'bef uniformly subjected toa solution'ofadye. Another object ofrny invention is a device in which thorough `pen'etiation.'of `Atextile fabrics ymay be effected'by either a liquid or Steamy,

Another object of 'my inventionis a device in which dyed fabrics may be uniforinly andv Another object offm'y invention is a device in which piece goods may be crabbed.`

steamed. dyed, after-treated and dried Without removal froxn'the;l device. n

Another object of niyinvention is a means whereby the device may be readily and effectively adjusted to Jconform with fabrics of diftli'erent-nidths- 1 v. y

Other objectsof my invention will beevident upon acnsideration of my specification and claims.

In ythe accompanying drawings, which illustrate several modifications of the device of my inxfentionysirnilar parts are designated hy )similar numerals.

Fig. l2 is an endlvieiv'of'nFigl"11. r The particularform of my device, as illustrated, comprises aidyeing chaniber'fornied by the. botto'nrrnernloer' 7 and the top ineinber 8, hingedly 'attached` thereto and ,capable of being held in intimate contact by means of the

screw bolts

9,9. f A pipe' 10,"opening into the top' of the dyeing chainberis connectedy to a syetein'(notshovvn)` whereby the liquid passing frointheidyeing chainbern'iay be returned for yrepassage through said chamber. y

1Within the" dyeing chamber is a reel, around'which the clothto be dyed' ortre'ated is Wound, comprising'the tvvo endlanges '16.

165, to"k which are lixedly attached vthe two annular foreuni'nous plates 17, '18.` The tivo flanges 16.16A extend into theshells 19, 19A

of the hollen' core of the reel extending outwardly from opposite ends of the dyeing chamber. Fixedly attached to the shell 19A is a cogged Wheel :20, meshing with the Worm gear Q1 which is xedly attached to the shaft 22, from which a revoluble movement may be imparted to the shells 19, 10A and the reel. Extending into the shells 19, 19A are the pipes 28, 28A around which the shells 19, 19A are revoluble. r1`he pipes 28, 28A are connected to a source of liquid, steam or air supply.

1n ordeil to reduce the Width. of the foraminous plate 18 through which the liquor passes to coincide with the Width of the fabric to be treated, the following device is employed. The flanges 16, 10Avx` carry annular outwardly extended abutting members 10, 10A, fixedly attached thereto by a series of bolts 11. Surrounding the foraminous plate 18 and abutting thereon are the annular members 12, 13, 12A, L13A which are slidable over the face of the plate 18. r1`he members L12, 13, 12A, 143-* are distanced from each other by the right and left threaded screw members 14, Abuttable upon and slidable over the members s2, 13, 12A, Se are the outwardly extended annular membe s 15, it, 15A, 16A, which are distanced from each other by the right and left threaded screuY members 17, L17. buttable upon and slidable over the members 16, 15A, 16A are the outwardly extended annular members e8, 419, 18A, which are distanced from each other by' the right and left threaded

screw members

130, 130. rfhese series of annular members are stepped in order to fit lclosely one over the other as shown in Fig.

5, and are held upon the foraminous plate 1S by means of the

annular members

131, 131.

r,The foraminous plate 17 comprises a series of openings connected With the series of

tubular members

50', 50, 50A, 50A, said tubular members extending from the plate 17 outwardly to the

members

19, 10^.

lVithin the conical members 19 and 19A are divergent cones 230, 30A, supported bv the

members

31, 31, 31A, 31A.

1n order that the cloth 2:3 may be Wound evenly upon the reel, the following device is employed: The tivo supports 70, A are connected by the

bars

71, 71. The upper portion 72 of each of the supports '10, 70A has a vertical opening oi' slot 7 A, heavy roller Tf1 has the shaft f5 capable of being carried by the support 72 and revoluble therein. A means, as the hoisting hook 7S is capable of removing the roller T4 and `the shaft 75 from the slit 73.

A chain cover S0 suitable for encompassing the rolled cloth "25 is comprised as follows: A series of

links

81, 81, having downwardly extended serrated members S2, 82 are connected together by the

links

83, 83, in such a manner that the links of the chain cover 80, maybe folded over to reduce either the length or Width of the cover, and any suitable clamp may be employed to maintain the chain cover .in close position around the cloth A valve allows the liquor to be drainec from the dyeing chamber.

r1 testing device 151, capable of contaiir ing a sample of the fabric, is connected by the pipe 132 and the opening 183, passing through the slidable members, With the chamber 110.

Tivo perforated

steam pipes

131, 1349 are introduced into the dyeing chamber.

1n the modication shown in Fig. S, the

tubular members

50, 50A are replaced by a series of

tubular members

120, 120, 120, 120A which extend from the inner face of the foraminous plate 17 outwardly into the members 19, 19A, the walls 121, 121A of tl tubular members converging upon and being abuttable upon the inner faces of the

cone members

30, 30A.

1n the modification shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the

parallel bars

111, 111 of the foraminous plate 18 are replaced by a serios of parallel spaced

rings

100, 100, supported by the

members

101, 101.

1n the modification shown in 11 and 12, the

parallel bars

111, 111 of the foramie nous plate 1S are replaced by series of arallel spaced bars 102, 102 supported by the members 103, 103.

The operation of the device is as follows: The top 8 of the device is raised into the position 8A of Fig. 3, and the cloth attached to the reel upon the forazninous plate 18.

The roller T1 is then placed upon the cloth and the device revolved, thus winding the cloth upon the reel, the roller 71 maintaining the cloth in a smooth condition.

l"Vhen the cloth is Wound, the roller lli is raised into the position 7 L1B by means of the

hooks

76, 76. By turning the right and leftv threaded screw members 11, 117, 130, 411, 17A 130A, the

slidable members

42, 15, 18, e1 45A, 48A, are brought. into abutting contact with the members 4:0, i, and the

members

13, 16, 19, 113A, 16A, 19A, or as manyv as required for the thickness of the fabric roll` are brought into position against the sides of the fabric, these slidable members and the

members

131, 131 closing all of the openings in the foraminous plate 18 except those iramediatelf,T under the fabric.

The pipes 28 and QSA are noivconnected with a source of dye-liquor, Water, steam or air, as desired, and the particular operation continued during the revolution of the reel.

The reactive agent passes through the pipes 28, 2SA, around the cones 30, 230A of the conical members 19, 19A, the

tubes

50, 50A, the foraminous plate 17 the chamber 110,

the foraminous plate 18, the fabric and the chain coverSO into the receptacle, from which it flows through the pipel() for continuous circulation if desired;
