in the construction of bleaching bollers,
the following is to be kept in View as a'prin cipal object: The fabric to bef bleached should be trayersed by the bleaching mediuin as copiously and uniformly as possible and freed from air at a high boiling temperature, while the fabric must not be subjected to too severe treatment; It is also desirable to econou'iize in the use of boiling lyeysteain, labor and cost of manufacture and to simplify v construction and working. The efficiency of such a plant 1s considerably increased if there is a possibility of quickly heating-up the fabric to be treated and such quick heating-up 1s possible only if the fabric is sufficiently penetrated by the bleaching medium from the beginning. The heating up and the penetration have therefore a mutual and assisting reaction upon each other because the permeability of the fabric to be boiled'is low at low temperature and pro ssive increases with increasing tem- "or increasingthe temperature will en- 40 able the lye to penetrate'the fabric more rapidly and more copiously as the fabric is trayersed by the lye.

In order to produce a copious circulatlon of the be the latter 1s f0rced generally through thefabric by means of a' pump at not. heated up, will be so compressed as not to allow the lye to pass through it. An

simple manner. EThis object is effected-sub stantially by providing'inth'e outer boiler in which thehigherb'oilihgprxssuria is gen erated, an inhenboiler capable of being closed tight independently, which receives the fabric'to be treated and is exposed in its interior tothe pumping pressure which is; only little higher than the" boiling pressure prevailing on the outside of said inneryes f sel. The "lat ter can therefore be 'made'ficonso siderably lighter than-theouterfboiler. A space is left practically all around 'the inner boiler and owing'to this spacejexistin'gbetween the twoboilers; the heat can passv directlythrough "the walls. of the inner boiler. V "j p In the known boiling plants," the initial heat supply to the fabric issmall on account of the fact that the circulation of the boiling lye is'greatly obstructed at first;
"iVith the present invention however; the
supply of heat to the fabricjis assisted in such a degree that "the heating up period will be reduced to aeminimunn The valueof this arrangement is best shown by the fact, that the. actual process of dissolving in' purities contained in the fabric, which process is effectedbythe boiling-lye, begins 0., and that in other apparatus the duration of heating-upoccupies a quite substantial part'of the total boiling durationk Therefore 'inl contra;distinction to, ;-:the.. 7 linown plants employing a clrculatlon of the it e bolling llquld',
present improved appa ratus has among otheradyantages the additional advantagejthat the duration of the liealting upfof the f fabric is considerably p By employing two boilers, 'the outer one of which exposedto' the boiling pressure while the inner one contains the fabric to be bleached, and-also the pumping pressure, itis possible to use the most favorable second example consistin'g of a plant with horizontal boilers. 7 V
Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic view of a four way .cock used on said boilers;
Fig. 5 illustrates a selfiacting valve, and Fig. 6 is a sectional detailof the branch leading. from the outer boiler.
Referring to-Fig. 1: 1 is {the inner 3Oll61. V
and 2 is the. outer boiler. The inner. boiler consists of two basket-like parts 3 and 1 placed one on the other with a'cover 5. The upper basket has a straining bottom 6 to let the lye through. A straining bottom 6 of this kind is also arranged in the lower basketpart at a certain distance away from the solid bottom 5 and a strainer top or cover 6 is arranged within the boiler cover The straining top 6? is likewise arranged a certain distance away from the solid cover 5.. They allow a uniform entry and exit of the lye to and from the'whole of the fabric to be bleached, and they prevent the orifices of the branches 11 from being stopped up. In the case where fabrics spread 'out i. 0., not in the hank, are to be placedinto-the baskets 3 and 4 through an opening in the side wall thereof,,when the baskets are outside the boiler 2 and rest on their sidewall.
"the upper basket is preferably provided with a straining cover 6 parallel to the straining bottom 6 (see dash dotted line in Fig. 1).
The outer boiler 2 is connected 'to its cover 7 by means of flanged rings 8. The lower flange is provided with a groove receiving a rib of the upper flange, bolts" 9 being provided for clamping the flanges together. 'Below the inner boiler there is ranged a heating coillOin the outer boiler.
Both at top and bottom the inner boiler 1 is connected to the circulation pipe by branch pipes 11 fitted on to its domed bottom and cover respectively. This branch 11. is provided. with a lateral discharge branch 13 controlled by a valve 12. Fig. 5 shows these parts on a larger scale. The rod 14 of the valve 12 is jointed at oneend to a bell crank lever 15., 15?, and at itsother end it is guided with some play in a lateral projection 16 of the branch 11. "The arm 15 of the bell crank lever is arranged on the exterior of the apparatus and" carries an ad- 3ustable weight 1? which presses the valve member 12 against its seat so long as the certain amount.
The two branches 11 are connected to each other by a pipe 18 having-a detachable coupling 19. By detaching the upper part 2 of the pipe 18 the boiler covers can be re moved for the purpose of removing the fabric from or placing it into the boiler 1 or the boiler 1 itself can be taken out. A four way cook 20 (Fig. 1) is fitted in the pipe 18. It serves to connect the latter with either the delivery pipe 21 0f a pump, 22, or, with a branch '23 leading ilO'fthG outer pressure in the branch 11 does not exceed a shown in Fig. 4; in full lines the upper part l of the pipe 18 is connected with thebranch 28, and the lower part of 18 is connected with the delivery pipe 21. After turning this partition 24 into the position indicated in dash-dotted lines the branch 23 is con nected with the lower part of the pipe 18, and the delivery pipe 21 is connected with the upper part of the pipe 18. The branch 23 is so arranged on the boiler 2 as tocause the boiling lye to enter the latter in a tangential direction whereby itrec'eives a circular motion around the axis of the boiler and thus comes intensively into contact with the heating coil 10 (Fig. 6).
Two three way cocks 26, 26 are fitted in the suction pipe 25 of the pump 22, which connects the pump with the lower end of the outer boiler 2. lVhen the cock 26 is in one position it connects this end with a discharge lranch 27. The cock 26 serves to connect the pump to an admission branch 27 that leads to a water container or the like.
A cock 28 provided on the upper part of the boiler 2 serves .to admit lye, rinsing water &c. Pressure-gages 29 areiconnected to the upper and lower parts of the pipe 18. On the cover of the on top of the pipe 18 air- escape cocks 30, 31, 31 are provided. A ring 32 the entire plant serves for removing and transporting the boiler'coversbyymeans of lifting tackle, traveling cranes orthe like.
partition2e of the four way cock is moved.
into the position shown in full lines in Fig. i, so that the lye supplied by the pump 22, will 'flow from the delivery pipe 21 into the lower part of the pipe-18 and from below into the inner boiler 1, driving the air con ta'ined in the latter out in front of it. Lyeis pumped into the inner boiler until lye flows off through the opened air-escape cock 31, and sufiicient reserve fluid has accumulated above the heating coil and-in the cylindrical space between the two boilers.
' This may be ascertained by means of a water gage 4:1 mounted on the outside of the boiler 2 and a mark 42 situ ated behind said water gage.
At-the commencement of the bleaching process the fabric to be bleached will oppose the greatest resistance to the passing through of the lye in the boiler 1 and will act in the manner of a plug. In consequence, pressure is produced in the lye below the fabric. As soon as this pressure reaches a certain amount which may be predetermined, the lower valve 12 will automatically come into operationso as to' allow surplus lye to pass from boiler 1 into the pip'e'25 and outer boiler 2. g
In order that the lye shall flow through the fabric with the greatest possible uniformity, and the fabric shall be freed from 7 air as much as possible, the flow of the lye must be reversed from timeto time. This" is effected by turning the partition 24 of the four way cock 20 into the position indicated by the dash dotted line. The lye will now flow from the delivery pipe 21 into the upperlpart of pipe 18 and into boiler l'from the top, and leave the'latter through the lower branch part oftpipe 18 to cock 20 and thence through branch 23 into the outer boiler 2 back to the heating coil .10. If with thisdirection of flow the pressure on .top of the boiler 1 exceeds the 'desi'redfamount, the upper valve 12 will open and allow the surplus lye to new back into boiler 2.
It will be seen from theforegoing that in each direction of flow of the lye, the outer and the inner boiler are disposed one be the pump 22; allowed each: time to accumulate around the heating eoil10 and become heatedwhilejitl is at rest. s; p the warmedsu'p boiler con- 11 and flow through the lower hind another with regard to the flowing of f the lye, viz. the lye flows from the pump 22 through pipe '21, cock 20 to one'or the other endof the inner boiler '1, penetrates the..

In the plant shown 'in' Figs; 2 and sisting of horizontal boilers, the-inner boiler 1 rests upon rollers .36byn 16aDS, of channel bars 85 extending aroundthe greater part of ltSCllCllIIl-IEGIGTICG. This setting allows of turning the boiler on its axis within wide' limits. This is of importance for charging the boiler.

The inner boiler is provi V ded on top with a" wide charging aperture 39 which may be i Therollers 36 aresupported' by properly closed by means of a "cover 40.
In other respects the construction and function of'this plant are similar to those ofjthe one hereinbe'fore described. 7 In order to place the fabric to be treated into boiler1','
the front ends 0 and 7 of the boilers with their fittings are removed from the boilers by means of traveling cranes-orithe like after undoing the bolts 9. The" railsss are connected with-rails in the floor of the work room in questionby means of inset railsfll'll Then the inner" boiler 1 is drawn out,- *f or instance under. a charging machine, dis
tributing apparatus or the like Duringthe charging operation it remains at firstin the:
position shown inv Fig.3. {A s soon"asit is filled to sayabout half it is't'urned" around to the left by an amount such that its upper left hand quadrant comes under the charging opening gi). Then the boiler is returned intoabout its initial )osition and now the last (right hand upper) quadrant of its section is charged.
when the charging is completed, the boiler 1 is-returned into the boiler 2 and the connection. is made. Then lye is admitted through cook 28'. into the outerj boiler and heated by the heating coils'lO. Afterward the pump 22 is startedand the lye is forced at one time from the left and. another from the right'through the inner boiler and the -fabrlc, &c., as described witlrreference to i Fig. 1. r
From the foregoing it ,willbe evident that by. means of the 'weighted valve 12 the highest pressure .in the inner boiler may be adjusted at will, according'to the kind of fabric to be bleached, by adjusting the weight '17. j
The heating coil is made removable in order that the unavoidable formation of scalev may be counteracted with the most simple means and with the least loss of time.
The nature of the fabric to be bleached will decide whether an inner boiler made in one part or in more parts 'or baskets is used. For cotton fabrics of medium quality in. the form of hanks the construction in one piece will be preferred, whereas for cotton fabrics woven very closely and therefore of low permeability having strongly twisted threads, as well as for yarn in the hank, cross-wound spools 850., inner boilers consisting of more than one part will be ing process is finished, that they can be lifted out immediately from the vertical boiler by means of lifting tackle, traveling crane, &c., and replaced by new freshly charged baskets. can be rendered available again for the boiling-process after the shortest intervals of time.
Contrary to the outer boiler the inner boiler does not come under the steam boiler regulations because it need be kept tight only to a limited degree; and even if it were to break down through the pumping pressure, this would not involve any danger of explosion of the outer boiler. The inner V boiler has to bear a very low inner overpressure compared with the pressure in the outer boiler, sa1d'over-pressure (difference between inner and outer pressure) amounts ing at most to atmosphere. Consequently In this way the vertical boiler also 7 it can be made very much lighter than the outer boiler, which latter has to bear the 1 greater difference between the boiling sure and the atmospheric pressure.
The use of an lnner boiler includes among other things the advantage that the outer.
boiler can be more easily adapted to. the requirements'of the steam boiler regulations; It need only be mentloned here that con-.
siderable diiiiculties are met with in the proper n" kingof the longitudinal seam on 'the'oylindrical shell of theordinary bleaching boilersespecially in. countries where au-v togenous welded seams are prohibited in the ordinary high pressure bleaching boilers.-
lt would then be necessary to return to strap riveting. Owing howev r to the fact that.
a strap'cannot be used onthe inside of the 7 single boiler because at this place the fabric; to be bleached would be rubbed to Y pieces against the said strap, it would be necessary to employ a single outside strap. Butdsuch a strap is subgected to very great strain and in consequence is liable to the riskof cracking at the butting ends of. the shell plate without the beginning of said cracking being perceived in time when the boiler is inspected. therefore in time. 7 V
il hen an inner boiler is used, outer and inner straps may be employed together without disadvantage, thereby producing a very strong connection. 1 r
