INVENTOR ATTORNEYS 5 w o n u 0 H w u 0 L L. BOUNOUS APPARATUS FOR DYEING YARN Filed Nov 5, 1927 Patented Aug. 14, 1928.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

AI PARATUS FOR DYEING YARN- Application filed November 3, 1927. Serial No. 230,849.

This invention relates to an apparatus for dyeing yarn, and I would have it understood that I employ the term yarn in its broadest sense to include thread of any character wound on a bobbin in the form of amp, the apparatus being especially designed for permitting the dye or other liquid to be forced by pressure through the yarn on the perforated bobbin.

The invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts as Will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claim. In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a view in longitudinal section showing a plurality of bobbins on a liquid supply tube through which the dye or other liquid is forced through the tube and the yarn;

Figure 2 is a perspective view showing a single cop or bobbin with the yarn wound thereon ready for use Figure 3 is a view in side elevation of my improved tube; Y

Figure 4 is a perspective view of a closure cap ring;

Figure 5 is a view in section showing the tube on a wooden bobbin while being filled with yarn.

1 represents my improved bobbin which is in the form of a tube having a notched or serrated end 2 and provided throughout with perforations 3. 4 is the yarn or cop wound or otherwise formed on the bobbin 2,

and it will be noted that this cop has tapering ends and that theliobbin has smaller perforations adjacent the ends than at its intermediate portion Where the cop is thickest, so that there will be an even distribution of the dye or other liquid through the cop.

5 represents a perforated tube which is supplied with dye or other liquid under pressure, and on this perforated tube I 10- cate chokerings 6 and 7 which are frictionally or otherwise held on the tube. The ring 6 receives the notched serrated end of the bobbin 2, and the ring 7 has annular flanges 8 and 9 which extend into the space between the bobbins and the tubes to hold the bobbins and the tubes properly spaced.

.tubular bobbins 1 in position on a wooden I also employ a second ringG at the outer end of the series of bobbins to close the space between the bobbins and the pipe 5 to prevent the dye or other liquid passing through the end of the bobbin. In other words, I may provide on a single pipe 5 a series of bobbins coupled together and spaced from the pipe on which they are located, n both pipe and bobbins being perforated so that when the liquid is. forced into the pipe it. will pass through the )erforations of thee pipe and the bobbin and t rough the yarn or v cop so as to dye or otherwise treat the same.

I deem it important that the perforated 3 bobbins be spaced from the perforated tube to prevent any possibility of the perfora tions being clogged and to allow a free circulation of the liquid and I of course deem it important to socouple the bobbins with relation to the pipe as to properly guide the liquid and prevent its squirting .or escaping from the ends of the bobbins;

,I have illustrated in Figure 5 one of the bobbin 10 while the yarn is wound on the tubular bobbin before the dyeing operation.

While I have illustrated what I believe to be a preferred embodiment of my invention it is obvious that various changes and alterations might be made in the general form of the parts described without departing from my invention and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claim.

I claim: a v An apparatus of the character described, comprising a perforated metal yarn receiv ing bobbin adapted to fit over a spindle or a dye directing pipe, said bobbin having a serrated end adapted to engage a correspondingly shaped part on a spindle or tube to lock the parts against independent turnin igned at Valdese in the county of Burke and State of North Carolina this 31st day of October, A. D. 1927.
