  • the nozzle orifice slot 24 may be adjusted by the slotted cut-outs 2? and screws 28, permitting upwards and downwards positioning of the angle portion 23.
  • Lip 26 of angle portion 23 is with its under surface downwardly inclined in a direction at least 90 to the direction of blanket travel and preferably substantially tangential to the circumference of the drum to thereby impart to any steam ejected from nozzle opening 24, a direction away from the blanket and thus away from the moving web of fabric at or adjacent the nozzle.
  • Gates 29 may be interposed, as illustrated in Figs. 2 and l, in the space between the arcuate face plate It and the lip 25 of the angle member 23. to cover or uncover some of the perforations 25 to thereby adapt the width of the nozzle slot area 24 to the width of the particular fabric web being treated, thereby eliminating wastage of steam should such web be narrower than the normal effective steaming width of the machine. It is apparent that instead of two such gates one may be used with equal effect.
  • a drain 30 is provided to remove any condensate that may have formed in steam chest 1.
  • a conventional tension arrangement am is provided to keep the endless blanket 8 under tension so that the blanket will pass around drum I in a relatively tight and snug fit assuring the fabric web I2 to be held securely and uniformly in position on the padded periphery of the drum.
  • the drum is rotated in the direction of the arrow (Figs. 1 and 3) and the fabric web I2 is passed onto the blanket 8 at the guide roll 9b, traveling thence around perforate drum I between the padded drum periphery and the snugly fitting endless blanket 8.
  • Steam is passed through pipe I l and issues through the perforations I into the steam chest 1.
  • Perforations I5 are preferably so arranged that they face upwardly away from the perforations 25.
  • the steam in chest l is preferably maintained under a pressure of about 2 to lbs. above atmospheric and issues through perforations into space 241) defined between lip 26 of angle member 23 and arcuate plate It.
  • Steam is ejected through the nozzle slot 24 at a relatively high nozzle velocity and preferably a nozzle velocity of at least 150 feet per second.
  • the top limit of the velocity of the steam depends inter alia upon the dimensions of the steaming zone and particularly the length thereof, and further depends, at least to some extent, upon the suction force applied to that portion of the blanket which is in contact with the steaming zone.
  • it is normally desirable that the velocity of the steam jet does not exceed about 1600 feet per second, and within the preferred embodiment of the invention I find it of advantage to use a steam velocity of an order of magnitude of between 4:00 and 1200 feet per second.
  • the suction force of the drum I will make itself more and more felt, together with the counter directional force of rotation of the blanket so that there results a graded suction of steam into the drum from comparatively little dry hot steam at a point adjacent the nozzle slot 24 to comparatively larger amounts of wet cooler steam farthest removed from the nozzle slot 24.
  • the steam at the far end of the steaming zone is substantially wet steam whereas the steam at the nozzle end of the zone is substantially dry steam, and the wet steam portion of the zone is somewhat cooler than the dry steam portion of that zone.
  • the endlessly moving carrier defines a substantially straight path of travel for the blanket 8.
  • a substantially straight face plate I Go is provided for the steam chest Ia, having the steam inlet pipe I4 and perforations I5.
  • the flexible, endlessly moving carrier Ia which may be for instance composed of the flexible sheet material 32 (Fig. 6) is provided with multiple perforations 33 and is guided for endless travel by the guide rolls 34.
  • a suction chest 35, carrying suction pipe 36, is provided above the lower, sub stantially straight line section of the carrier Ia.
  • the steam chest Ia is mounted below the carrier Ia and the suction chest 35.
  • An angle member 23a is provided on the upper portion of chest 1a and forms with one arm the lip 26a, which is slightly bent to an angle of less than 90 and preferably about and which defines with its length edge and the substantially straight surface of plate Ifia, a steam nozzle-slot 44.
