Definitions

  • the bobbins or the like of artificial silk are traversed through and subjected to a contra-flow of water and acidulated water in such a manner that the volume of water re uired may be reduced to a minimum whilst a er passing the wet treatment, said bobbins are conducted through or into a humidifying atmosphere for conditioning and storing.
  • the bob-- bins or the like of artificial silk may be placed on a conveyor or carrier having laterally extending arms or spindles to receive the bobbins. Said arms or spindles may be mounted or supported from vertical members fitted with means preferably attheir upper extremities whereby the carriers may be traversed through a frame-like structure.
  • the traversing mechanism may be adapted to co-operate with devices on the carriers for traversing the latter, whilst appropriate engaging means or catches may be furnished for coupling or connecting the carriers together.
  • the said frame-like structure may have associated therewith nozzles under which the bobbins pass whilst beneath each spindle or lateral row of spindles inclined boards and trays may be provided to prevent the liquid from one row of bobbins falling on to the row immediately beneath, the liquid or liquor collected being conductedto a trough, pipe or conduit at the base of the machine or apparatus and conducted away or to any desired 7 point for re-use or otherwise.
  • the clean water for treatment of the bobbins just prior to being conveyed out of the machine and collect and re-feed the liquor or acidulated Water to the bobbins entering, thus providing for the contra-flow of clean water and acidulated water.
  • the water passing to the nozzles may be fed or induced by steam ejectors which serve to raisr the temperature of the water or liquor used in the washing process.
  • the nozzles or pipes throu h which the water and liquor passes will e of such a character that a slow percolation will ensue, the bobbins being stationarily mounted and the by-product gradually washed out of and down through the silk on the bobbins thereby enabling a minimum quantity or volume of water, consistent with the washing required, to be employed.
  • the carriers After passing through the washing stage, the carriers are traversed in a similar manner to a chamber or room wherein the temperature and humidity of the atmosphere may be suitably controlled for conditioning and storing purposes.
  • igures 1 and 2 are respectively a side elevation and a plan view of a form of washing apparatus.
  • Figures -3 and 4 are respectively a transverse section and a part side elevation of the conditioning apparatus shown at Figures 1 and 2 but drawn to a much larger scale.
  • Figure 5 is a detail view of a preferred form of washing nozzle.
  • the bobbins 1 Wound wit artificial silk are passed onto and supported by laterally extending arms 2 which are mounted or sup orted from vertical members 3 fitted at their upper extremities with rollers 4. adapted to run on overhead.
  • each vertical member 3 with its as-- be drawn through the washing machine or a paratus by the engagement with said pins of each carrier or conveyor in turn of levers 9 carried by the ram 10 of a hydraulic or other ram cylinder 11 mounted over the rail 5.
  • the stroke of the ram is equal to the length of one carrier or conveyor.
  • the washing machine or apparatus comprises a frame-like structure 12 adapted to support three sets or series of nozzle carrying trays 13 and three sets or series ofinclined drain troughs or trays 14, each set or series of ly Figures 1 and 3), while the arms 2 of each pair are set in staggered relationship (see particularly Figures 1 and 4).
  • clean water is supplied from a tank 15 or other convenient source, by way of pipes 16 and branches 17 to the forward nozzlecarrying trays 13 of the upper set or series, and the overflow from these trays 13 passes by way of pipes 18 to the trays 13 beneath them, while the drain troughs or trays 14 below the nozzle-carrying trays 13 at the forward end of the machine are connected by pipes 19 tofan inclined conduit 20 leading into a sump 21.
  • the spent or partly acidulated water collected inthe sump 21 is forced up by an ejector 22 and by way of a pipe 23 into an elevated vessel or tank 24, from which it is delivered by pipes 25 into filters 26.
  • the filtered water is now fed by way of pipes 27 and branches 28 to the rear nozzle-carrying trays 13 of the upper set or series, and the overflow from these trays 13 passes by pipes 29 to the trays 13 beneath them, while the drain troughs 14 beneath these tra s 13 are connected by pipes 30 toan incline conduit 31 leading into a drain 32 which may be connected to a recovery plant.
  • the bobbins of artificial silk are subjected during their passage through the machine to a contra-flow of clean and acidulated water, clean water being utilized for treatment of the bobbins just prior to being conveyed out of the machine or apparatus, and the acidulated water being utilized for treatment of the bobbins entering.
  • the water passing to the nozzles may be fed or induced by steam ejectors at appropriate points in the supply system, said steam ejectors serving also to raise the temperature of the water or liquor-used in the washing process.
  • the nozzles which are arranged in rows above the arms 2 comprise glass or other drip rods 33 carried by porcelain or other stoppers 34 fitted with rubber or other resilient sleeves 35 for engagement with holes 36 formed in the trays 13.
  • Thisconstruction of drip rod nozzle only permits of slow percolation of-the water or iquor on to the stationary bobbins 1 of artificial silk below, the by-products being gradually Washed out of and down through the silk on ,said bobbins 1 with a minimum quantity or volume of water consistent with the washing, and Without damage to the silk.
  • the carriers or conveyors After passing through the washing stage, the carriers or conveyors are traversed in a similar manner to a chamber or room wherein the temperature and humidity ofthe atmosphere may be suitably controlled for conditioning and storing purposes.
  • the arms 2 of the carriers or conveyors are of square section set corner-wise or on edge as shown to facilitate dripping, while the vertical members 3 of the conveyors are provided with lugs or projections 37 intermediate the distanced apart arms 2 whereby additional or auxiliary sets of arms 2 for supporting the bobbins 1 may be attached.
  • This arrangement allows a larger number of bobbihs 1 to be stacked on one conveyor or carrier during conditioning or storing.
  • the washing liquid is supplied through drip nozzles whereby, as pointed out before, a slow percolation of the washin liquidis insured.
  • the was in liquid is slowly dropped onto the three while the bobbins are stationary, and each drop soaks slowly through the mass of threads. This insures a maximum cleaning of the thread by a minimum amount of washing liquid, so that there results a very speedy and economical washing.
  • I claim 1' The method of washing artificial silk threads wound on bobbins comprising supporting the Wound bobbins ina plurality of vertically spaced groups with their axes sub stantiallyhorizontal, and with the axes of the bobbins in the diiferent groups out of vertical alignment, positioning said bobbins beneath a series of drip nozzles, a plurality of such nozzles being above each bobbin, and supplying washing liquid to the nozzles, whereby the liquid will drip directly onto the thread body of each bobbin while the bobbin is stationary and slowly percolate through the wound body.
