HOWARD M. DUDLEY, OF PI-IILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
FABRIC-DYEING MACHINE.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HOWARD ML DUDLEY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in F abric-Dyeing Machines, of which the following is a specification. Y
My invention relates to dyeing machines and refers particularly to a device suitable for the dyeing of piece goods. One object of my invention is, a device whereby at the same time several pieces of woven fabric may be dyed evenly and equally.
Another object of my invention is a device whereby the conditions incident to the dyeing of severalpieces of woven fabric at the same time, may be uniform.
Another Ob]6ClL of my invention is-a device whereby the several pieces to be dyed may be severally wound upon the device,
prior to dyeing, and maybe unwound there from after dyeing.
Another object of my invention is a device whereby several pieces of woven fabric may be simultaneously treated to a uniform amount of dye liquor forced therethrough, while revolving within a dye liquor.
Another object of my invention is-a device whereby thewidth of'the foraminous plate around whioh a fabriois wound and through which a dye liquor is forced, can
be changed to agree with the width of a fabric wound thereon:
Another object of my invention is device whereby the dyed condition of each of several lengths of cloth may be accurately measured without disturbingthe cloth being dyed.
These and other objects of my invention will be vident upon a considerationof my specification, drawings and claims.
T he dyeing of plece goods presents many diificulties, especially in those processes in,
which the dye liquor is forced through the rolled goods. In this method of dyeing con siderable difficulty is met in endeavoring to produce even results, as all portions of the goods must receive absolutely equal treatments, as regards penetration, amount and strength of dye liquorand time of operation.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Another difficulty in the dyeing of goods of this character isthat it isalmost impos-- sible to maintain exactly the same condi- Patented Au. 6,1918. Application filed July 25, 1917. Serial No. 182,611. i
tions in successive dyeings,'and unless' this is accomplished the severalpieces of goods will not be of the same shade or strength and hence will not be matchers for each other. 7 I a -Another difliculty is the time and labor necessary in the rolling, handling and dyeing of the several pieces of goods.
Another difficulty is that in orderto test the dyed condition of the fabric, it is necessary, in the present employed methods, to tear oif a piece ofthe dyed fabric, thus causing a considerable waste of goods and a disturbance of'therolled fabric. 7
The device of my invention overcomes all of the above, and many other difficulties incident to the dyeing of piece goods and presents a method whereby this may be accomplished readily, economically and perfectly. 1
My device comprises in a broad. way a device in which several rolls of woven fabric maybe formed, and dyed and washed-simultaneously and equally with a maximum of speed and a minimum expenditure of time, labor and dyes. I
One form of the dyeing machine of my invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in which similar parts are designated by similar-numerals.
F igure'l is a vertical cross-section of one form of a device of my invention.
Fig. 2 is across-sectionthroughthe line 22ofFig.1. I
Fig. 3 is an end view of Fig. 1, with the top open, in the direction of the arrow- 3. v Fig. A is an enlarged view oftheclutch mechanism. u a E a Fig. 5 is a broken side ,view, partly. in cross-section, of one of the revoluble foraminousv cylinders, with an employed method of section through Fig. 10 is a broken end view of Fig. 9.
Fig. 11 is a broken cross-section of a modification of one of the foraminous cylinders.
Fig. 12 is a broken end-view of Fig. 11.
The device as illustrated comprises a dyeing chamber formed by the bottom member 20 and the top member 21, the latter being pivotally attached to the former at 22, the top and bottom being capable of attachment to each other by means of the thumb-screws 23, 23. The ends of the dyeing chamber are formed by the annular members 24, 24 which extend outwardly into the conical shaped members 25, 25, the latter extending outwardly into the cylindrical members 26, 26 which are revoluble around the pipes 27, 27, the latter being connected to a means for forcing a liquid therethrough. The top 21 has a pipe 28 leading to the source of liquid to allow a continuous circulation through the device, and the bottom 20 has a pipe 29 with the valve 30 to allow the contents of the dyeing chamber to be withdrawn. Fixedly attached to the member 24 is a cogged wheel 31, meshing with the worm gear 32 carried by the shaft 33 connected to a source of power and upon which it revolves freely. A loose sprocket wheel 34 is also carried by the shaft 33. A double faced clutch 35 is fixedly attached to the shaft 33 and revoluble therewith, and is capable of emneshment with either the worm gear 32 or the sprocket wheel 34, to cause the revolution of either as desired, by means of the shift handle 36, pivoted at 37 and capable of being fixed in the desired position by means of the locking bolt 38 movable within the opening of the arm 40. The sprocket wheel 34 is connected by means of the chain belt 40 with the sprocket wheel 41, fixedly attached to the shaft 42, revoluble within the bearing 43, the chain 40 riding over the guide rollers 44, 45. The other extremity of the shaft 42 carries a fixedly at tached pulley 46, connected by means of the belt 47 to the pulley 48 fixedly attached to the shaft 49. The shaft carries the fixedly attached bevel gear 50. The support 51 has an extended member 52 within which is the arc-shaped opening The shaft 49 is revoluble in the bearings 54 and A shaft 56, revoluble within the bearings 57 and 58, has a bevel gear 59 at one end, meshed with the bevel gear 50, and a cogged wheel 60 at the other end capable of being meshed with the cogged member 61. The member 62 carrying the bearings 57 and 58, is revolublc around the sleeve surrounding the shaft 49, and has a fixedly attached threaded bolt 63 extending through the opening 53. On the other side of the member 52 is a threaded wheel 64, capable of being threaded upon the bolt 63 and so arranged that it will fixedlyposition the bolt (33 in any desired position in the opening 53. By moving the bolt 63 along and within the opening 53, the shaft 5-6 may be moved from its upright position shown in F 1 and 3; in which position the coggcd wheel (50 is not meshed with the cogged member 61, into the position shown in Fig. 5, in which the cogged wheel (30 and the cogged member 61 are meshed, the shaft 50 being maintained in either position as desired by means of the threaded wheel (54.
Spaced within the conical members are the imperforate conical members 70, A series of plates 71, 71, 71 71 extend across the space between the members 25, 70 and 25 7 0 A foraminous cylinder 72 has a series of parallel openings or slots 73, 73. The cylinder 72 is attached to the annular members 75, by means of the splines 74, 74, which allows the members 75, 7 5 to slide along the surface of the cylinder-'72, but causes them to revolve in unison therewith. The members 61, 61 abut upon the surfaces 150, 150 of the members 75, 75 and are slidable over the outer face of the foraminous cylinder 130.
A series of right and left turn buckles 70, 76, 7 6 76 connect the members 75, (31 and 75 (31 and cause the separation of these two sets of members at any predetermined position from each other. The reels composed of the foraminous cylinder 72, the members 61, 61 and the members 75, 75 are thus integral with each other and are capable of a revolving motion within abearing or bushing within the members 24, 70 and 24, 70
Central of the dyeing chamber and extending between the inner portions of the members 70, 7 0 is the fixed shaft 77 carrying a cogged wheel 78, slidable upon the shaft 77 but held from revolution by the spline 79. A lever 80, pivotally attached at 90 to the member 91 of the cogged wheel 78 and at 92 to the support 93, is capable by its movement of meshing the cogged wheel 78 with all of the cogged members 61-, (31, thus locking them in a fixed position relative to each other. The thumbset screw 94, movable within the slot 95, acts as a, locking medium for the motion of the lever 80.
Each one of the reels carries a testing device, the construction of which is shown in Fig. 7. This testing device comprises a reel formed by the end flanges 100, 100 and the foraminous cylinder 101. Each interior end of the reel is connected to pipes 102, 102 having the valves 103, 103, said pipes being threaded into the openings 104, 104 of the member 01 which connect with the space 105. Openings 105, 106 connect the space 105 with the source of liquor as shown.
A series of walls 110, 110, 110 1.10 extending from the inner face of the foramibers 61, 61 being slidably movable over the.
outer face of the cylinder 130 and capable of covering and closing some of the openings therein.
The foraminous cylinder 130 is composed of a series of parallel downwardly disposed triangular members 132, 132, connected at their upper edges to forman edge 133 upon which the cloth 1 10 rests, spaces 134:, 134 allowing of the liquid to be dispersed in its upward movement.
In the modified form of the foraminous cylinder 130 shown in Figs. 11 and 12 the J upper edge 133 is serrated into the upwardly extended pointed members 135, 135 with the spaces 136, 136 between.
Any suitable means for'heating a liquor in the dyeing chamber may be employed, and any suitable foraminous covering for the cloth 1 10 may be employed. 7
The operation of the device is as follows: The top 21 is opened into the position shown in Fig. 3. The shaft 56' is revolved until the cogged wheel 60 is in mesh with one of the cogged members61 (F ig.5). The lever 36 4) is moved to mesh the cluteh35 with the wheel 34 and power imparted to the shaft The toothed wheel3l (Fig. 3) revolves the toothed wheel 41 by means of the chain 10, which in turn revolves the shaft 42, the latter revolving the shaft 49 by means of the pulley 16, the belt 17 and the pulley 418. The revolution of the shaft 19 (Fig: causes the revolution of the bevel.
Under the above conditions, the various reels are free to revolve upon their own axes, but if it is desired to prevent this, the lever 80 is moved to engage the cogged Wheel 78 with the cogged members 61, 61.
When the dyeing is finished, the supply of dye liquor is interrupted and the con tents of the dyeing chamber are removed throughthe pipe 29 by opening the valve 30. The valve 30 is then closed and clear water, for washing purposes, forced through the device in a manner similar to that employed for dyeing. I
The-goods may then be removed by reversing the process used in winding them upon the reels.
