The inner upper eclge fv the receptacleor box 6 is conveniently delinedbychannel member 8. Within this receptacleorlboira frameworkil. may be disposed.

Suspensiondevices .IB maybe secured to the cover .4 T. and. in turn attachedto Wires or cables 'lQ,passing ouer"pulleys .2 ii, and which cables have counterweightsJl seciiredto their outer ends. Thetpiilleys 2i! aresupported adjacent the upper ends of standardsfillwhich arecoupled to the framework.ofthemachine... With a view to properly 'guidi ng parts the coy er H; maymount rollers 23 which ride along the rail portions defined by ,the;edges,,of the standards .22.. Accordngly, all rlmc {veni'ent s.'of the cover will be confined to a vertical path m Each of the pipes I3 may have associated with it valves 24 for individually controlling the volume of steam passing from the manifold into the same. Feeding rolls 25 and 26 may he disposed beyond the exit end of the machine. Intermediate that exit end and these rolls a shield 29 may be mounted; the several parts being conveniently supported upon an auxiliary portion 28 of the machine frame.
While the present invention is of especial value in connection with the treatment of yarns it will be understood that cloth may also be treated by passing through the same.
When the machine is to be operated it will, of course, be understood that the cover 17 is raised; this being readily accomplished incident to the counterweighting which is preferably employed. With the cover raised access may readily be had to the various rolls l and I2. Therefore, the yarn ends may be threaded through the opening defined by the trap or baffle por tion 7 and so in a tortuous path between the rolls l0 and I2. After passing over the final roll the yarn or cloth may be passed between the baffles or traps 7 adjacent the rear or exit end of the machine past the shield guide 29 and so between rolls 25 and 26. With the cover now lowered so as to provide a substantially enclosed space, steam may be admitted by manipulating the valves 24. With the motor 2! operating the roll will draw the yarn or cloth through the machine and distribute it towards the points desired. As is apparent with the yarn or cloth dyed, such passage through the steam chamber will serve to oxidize the dye.
The foregoing operation may be continued indefinitely. However, should a break occur in the yarn, then upon the operator becoming cognizant of this fact, the motor 27 may have its operation interrupted. With the flow of steam to the pipes [3 also interrupted, the cover I"! may now be raised. As will be apparent, such raising may be by manual effort. If desired, however, a power drive could be employed. In any event immediate access is obtained to the entire interior of the steam chamber and the rolls and contents of the same are exposed to the open air. Accordingly, an operator will not have to resort to the use of a blower or to other timeconsuming expedients in order to permit of the interior of the chamber being cooled to an extent sufficient such that corrections may be made. Rather, these corrections may be accomplished with facility. When completed, the cover is simply lowered and the proper cycle of operations again initiated.
Thus, among others, the several objects of the invention as specifically aforenoted are achieved. Obviously, numerous changes in construction and rearrangement of the parts might be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention as outlined by the claims.
I claim:
1. A continuous cloth and yarn steamer comprising in combination a base, a framework fixed with respect to said base, rolls supported solely for rotation by said framework, steam-supplying pipes mounted by said framework, a'steam chamber providing member enclosing said framework, rolls and pipes and means for bodily elevating said member to completely expose said framework and rolls.
2. A continuous cloth and yarn steamer comprising in combination a base, a framework fixed with respect to said base, rolls supported solely 4 for rotation by said framework, steam-supplying pipes mounted by said framework, a steam chamber providing member enclosing said framework, rolls and pipes, said member providing a lower edge, a channel-shaped part mounted by said base and receiving said edge to substantially seal said steam chamber incident to the accumulation of liquid condensate within said channel part to a point above the lower edge of said member and means for bodily elevating said member and shifting its lower edge from said channel part to completely expose said framework and rolls.
/ 3. A continuous cloth and yarn steamer comprising in combination a base, a framework fixed with respect to said base, rolls supported solely for rotation by said framework, steam-supplying pipes fixed against movement with respect to said base, a steam chamber providing member enclosing said framework, rolls and pipes, said member providing a lower edge, a channel-shaped part mounted by said base and receiving said edge to substantially seal said steam chamber incident to the accumulation of liquid condensate within said channel part to a point above the lower edge of said member, means for bodily elevating said member and lifting its lower edge from'said channel part to completely expose said framework and rolls, said base extending beyond said chamber-providing member to furnish entrance and exit ends for said steamer, baflie portions connected to said base and disposed at points adjacent which the latter is extended and said baflie portions providing between them passages through which cloth and yarn may enter and emerge from said base and chamber.
4. A continuous cloth and yarn steamer comprising in combination a base, a framework fixed with respect to said base, rolls supported solely for rotation by said framework, steam-supplying pipes fixed'against movement with respect to said base, a steam chamber providing member enclosing said framework, rolls and pipes, rail portions extending upwardly from said base, wheels mounted by said member and co-operative with said rail portions to confine said member to movements along a substantially vertical path, and suspension means connected to said member and supported by said rail portions for shifting the former along the latter.
