ALPHONSE TAVERNIER, OF PARIS, FRANCE METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR PRESS-DYEING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 263,992, dated September 5, 1882.

Application filed October 12, 1881. (No model.) Patented in France August l4, 1879, No. 132,262.

- pensive a p paratus h ave been required for clouding fibrous or textile substances in the form of bands or ribbons by dyeing, them.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved apparatus in which textile or fibrous substances in the form of ribbonsor slivers can be clouded by means of dyeing in r a practical, simple, and inexpensive manner and with a small quantity of dyeing-liquid.

The invention consists in a box provided with a central rail and side brackets for supporting aseries of female frames, on which the fibrous substances in the form of ribbons or slivers are wound, which female frames are firmly held and pressed between a series of male frames, also fitting in the box, all these frames being pressed together by a screw.

The invention further consists in the construction of the male and female frames, the latter being provided with a rubber packingstrip and a protecting-strip.

The invention also consists in the method of applying aliquid in clouding fibrous substances by winding the fibrous substances on frames,

pressing these frames between other frames, and sprinkling the liquid over all the frames.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved apparatus for clouding fibrous or textile substances in the form of ribbons or slivers. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of the same on the line was of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional elevation of the same on the line 3 y of Fig.1. Fig. 4 is alongitudinal elevation of one of the female frames on which the yarns orslivers are wound. Fig. 5 is a longitudinal elevation of one of the male frames, between which the female frames are held.

A frame, A, Fig. 5, is formed of a series of bars, B, all of the same size and length and united by a series of transverse rods, 0, provided at one end with a rigid head, a, and having the opposite end threaded. These rods 0 pass through wooden thimbles D, interposed between the bars B, for the purpose of keeping the bars separated the desired distance. Nuts b are screwed on the threaded ends of the rods 0, and by drawing these nuts up tightly the bars B and thimbles D will be pressed firmly against each other, and a rigid frame-will be formed composed of longitudinal bars and transverse rods surrounded by thimbles.

Frames E, Fig. 4, are formed of a series of bars, F, united by transverse rods G, passing through thimbles H,interposed between the bars F. The bars F are united at their upper ends by a transverse bar, J, of the same thick ness as the bars F, and at their lower ends by a like transverse bar, J. A strip of rubber, K, is fastened and held on the bar J by a strip of wood, L, of the same length and width as this bar J, this bar L projecting from the frame E and the rubber strip hanging down from the lower edge of this strip L. The thimbles D and H are to be exactly of the same size, so that the bars B and F will be separated .exactly the same distance-that is to say, if the frame A is placed against the frame E, the bars B and F being parallel, these bars will coincide. The length of the bars B of the frame A must be in such relation to the length of the bars F of the frame E that when the upper ends of the barsB rest against the lower edges of the strip L of the frame E the lowerends of the frames A and E will be flush, as Fig. 2 shows. A pintle, M, projects upward from the middle of each bar J, and the pint-1e M projects downward from the middle of each bar J. A pint-1e, N, projects upward from the mid- .dleof the upper edge of each frame A, and a pintle, N, projects downward from the middle of the bottom edge of each frame A. If there are an uneven number of bars B in the frame A, the piutles N and N can be attached to the middle bar, B but if there are an even number of bars B in the'frame A, there will not be any middle bar B, and the pintles N N must be fastened between the two bars B B nearest the middle of the frame A in some suitable manner. The pintle N must be of .E (which will be designated as the female such length that its upper end is on a level with the upper end of the pintle M. The frames A and E are to be of the same size from end to end.

A box, 0, is provided on its bottom with an upwardly-projeetiug rail, I, having a longitudinal groove, Q, in its upper edge. Beveled bracket bars or rails It, having a horizontal projection, It, at the lower edge, are attached to the inner longitudinal sides of the box 0, the upper surface of the horizontal part B being on a level with the top of the rail P, and the distance between the lower ends of the bevels being exactly equal to the length of the frames A or E from end to end, as shown in Fig. 3, so that when these frames rest on the rail 1? and the horizontal parts R of the bracket-rails R the frames will be in the same position endwise in the box 0. The rail 1 is of such size and the bracket-rails R are so located that when the frames A and E rest on this rail P and the part It of the bracket-rails R- the upper edges of the frames E will be flush with the upper edge of the box 0.

A follower, S, of the same size as the frames A or E is provided with top and bottom pintles, T T, and also rests on the rail 1? and the part It of the bracket-rails It. The end of a screw, U, passes into the follower S and is held loosely therein, the screw U passing through a nut or screw-socket, V, in the wall of the box 0, and having a handwvheel, W, or equivalent, rigidly mounted on its outer end. A longitudinally-slotted bar, Y, is hinged to the top of one of the sides of the box 0, so that it can be swung over the top of the box parallel with the screw U. The free end of the bar Y can be locked on the box by means of a screw, Z. A pump is used to pump the coloring-liquid from the bottom of the box and to sprinkle it over the frames. The frames are preferably made of fir.

The operation is as follows: The combed yarn or the slivers are wound on the frames frames) in some suitable manner, as shown at X in Fig. 3. When the yarns, threads, or slivers have been wound on the female frames E, male frames A and female frames E are alternately placed in the box 0, the pintles M and N passing into the groove Q of the rail 1?, and the frames A and E resting on the rail 1? and the horizontal parts R of the bracket-rails R. The rubber strips K are interposed between the upper ends of the frames A and E, and, as has been stated, the wooden strips L overlap the upper edge of the male frames A slightly, as is shown in Fig. 2. The slotted bar Y is swung down on the top of the box 0, the pintles T, M, and N passing into the slot of this bar Y. The bar Yisthenheld down firmly by means of the screw Z. The female frames E, on which the slivers, yarns, &c., are wound, must always be located between two male frames A, excepting the end frame E, which can be located between one male frame and the follower S. The frames A and E are then firmly pressed together by means of the screw U. The hot dyeing or coloring liquid is then sprinkled over the frames A and E. The rubber packing-strips K and the wooden strips L prevent this dyeing or coloring liquid from flowing down between the male and female frames. Theliquid can only pass down through the spaces between the sides of the bars B B or F F, and collects in the bottom of the box 0. The dyeing-liquid cannot come in contact with those parts of the yarns or slivers which are pressed firmly between two bars, B and F. The hot coloring or dyeing liquid comes in contact with and colors those parts of the yarns or slivers extending from onebar F to the next bar. Alternating colored and uncolorcd spaces or lengths are thus formed on the yarns or slivers, and if these slivers, fibers, &c., are spunthe threads formed will be clouded. If the dyeing-liquid is sprinkled over the frames, but a small quantity of liquid is required, whereas the box 0 would have to be filled if the frames Aand E were to beimmersed. Furthermore, the frames are not stained as much as by immersing, and the material is not felted. It is essential that the coloring or dyeing liquid is sprinkled equally over all the frames. I mordant the textile or fibrous substances in exactly the same manner in which I dye or color them to produce the clouding. After that the fibrous r textile substances are washed by sprinkling water over them or by iinmersion.. After this hot or warm water is sprinkled over the frames for the purpose of removing the superfluous coloring-liquid, and finally cold water is sprinkled over the frames to give the colored fibrous and textile substances life or freshness. Then the slotted bar Y is raised, the frames A and E are removed, and the clouded yarns or slivers are unwound from the frames E. After this the frames are placed in a box containing chloride of lime, and are then washed in a soda solution. The frames can then-be used again, and the parts that have been covered by the threads or fibers will not be discolored. The clouded fibrous or textile substance is then washed in soap and soda water, which gives the color permanence and also removessmall specks of color in the uncolorcd parts. Finally, the white or uncolorcd portions are blued by means of a small quantity of anilineviolet.-

Having thus fully described my invention,I
