Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved apparatus in which the artificial thread, after it has been passed into the spinning box, and thus obtained in the form of cake, is subjected to a treatment with liquid while itis still in the form of the cake, and while the said cake is being rotated at a high speed.
  • the cake may either be treated with liquid in the same box in which the thread is collected, or after the cake has been formed it can be transferred to another box for the purpose of treating with liquid, while the first box is employed forthwith for the collection of further thread to form another cake.
  • the treatment with liquid may be for the purpose of washing the cake,
  • liquid employed would preferably be water, but our invention also applies to other treatment of the cake with liquid, for instance, for removing sulphur from the yarn, or for bleaching, dyeing or soaping the yarn.
  • pervious means which support the lower surface of the cake and which also al low the treating liquid to pass between the bottomof the box and the lower surface of the cake.
  • a layer of pervious material such as wire gauze, thick coarse cloth or corrugated non-corrosive material, may be interposed between the bottom of the box and the lower layer of the cake 'before the Washing or other treatment is commenced.
  • the said means for allowing the treating liquid to pass between the'bottom of the box and the lowersurface of the cake may be constructed as an integral part of the box;,for example, the part of the box" on which ,the cake rests may be provided with -a knurled or, pyramidical surface;
  • the spraying nozzle may be attached to atraverse, or its equivalent, so that the nozzle can be -moved up and down inside the annular' cake, and in some casesit :is useful to allow thenozzleto descend to a point'below, say hal'f-an-inch below, the lowest level':of the said cake.
  • the means for allowing the treating liquid to pass between the bottom of the box and the lower surface of the cake may be present in the box while the collection of the thread proceeding.
  • the box should be provided with suitable means to allow the treating liquid to escape, for which purpose it is generally preferred to perforate the wall of the box with a number of small holes.
  • Figures 1, 2 and 3 shew in vertical section three different examples of methods for carrying out this invention in practice, but the invention is not restricted thereto.
  • A represents the box
  • B the lid of the box
  • C the cake of thread
  • N the small holes in the wall of the box
  • L represents the tube supplying the water or other treating liquid to the nozzle or nozzles M.
  • the tube L carrying the nozzle M is preferably provided with reciprocating means, not shewn in the drawings, so that the nozzle M ascends and descends during the process of washing or the like.
  • FIG. 2 is a plan View of the box shown in Fig. 3 with the cake removed, the figure being taken on the line (1-?) of Fig. 3 looking in the direction of the arrows.
  • the means shewn for separating the cake G from the bottom of the box A consists of an annular disc D of ebonite or the like provided on its under surface with studs E, of which there may be for example two rows, the upper surface of the disc D being provided with radial grooves.
  • the cake C is separated from the bottom of the box A by means of an annular disc of wire gauze F, the outer and inner peripheries of which may conveniently be held in position by wrapping round an inner and outer wire ring H and G.
  • the gauze F and the wire rings H and G are made of non-corrosive material, such for instance as the metal sold under the registered trade mark of Monel metal.
  • Figure 3 shows a box A in which the surface on which the cake C rests is, by means of. pressing or cutting a suitable plate or the like, covered with small pyramids K,
  • Apparatus for the treatment with liquid of a cake with artificial filaments comprising a rotatable box and pervious means for supporting the lower surface of the cake and for allowing the treating liquid to pass between the bottom of the box and the lower surface of the cake.
  • Apparatus for the treatment with liquid of a cake of artificial filaments comprising a rotatable box and a nozzle depending in said box adapted to spray liquid on the cake, in combination with pervious means for supporting the lower surface of the cake and for allowing the treating liquid to pass between the bottom of the box and the lor-Jer surface of the cake.
  • Apparatus for the treatment with liquid of a cake of artificial filaments comprising a rotatable box and nozzle means depending in said box adapted to introduce liquid in the form of a spray and simultaneously introduce compressed air to assist the spray, in combination with pervicus means for supporting the lower surface of the cake and for allowing the treating liquid to pass between the bottom of the box and the lower surface of the cake.
