Definitions

  • This invention relates to a continuous -process for the permanent setting of wool fabrics, by which we mean fabrics of all wool or of mixtures of Wool, mohair, alpaca, etc.. ,with nylon, regenerated cellulose, cellulose acetate, Vicara, Fiber V (now known as Dacron), Orlon, etc.
  • permanent setting we mean resistant to boiling water for at least 1 hour as in subsequent dyeing and to steaming as in pressing.
  • a principal object of the invention is to provide a continuous, rapid and inexpensive process forfrfixing in a permanent and regular manner the warp and lling threads by the removal of r201mm.4 (Citas-76) all irregular and hidden strains while the fabric l is flat, .thus preventing-the formation of cockles, crimps, creases or otherforms of uneven shrinkage at later stages of manufacture, such as mill scouring, dyeing, finishing, steaming and sponging.
  • a further object is to prevent movement in the warp and filling directions in the finished cloth, which is shown by shrinkage, bubbling, or puckering when the fabric is exposed to steaming or to elevated humidity as in pressing or cleaning.
  • a further object is to provide a process of this character which is readily controlled.
  • a further object is to avoid the defects of the conventional batch processes.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic elevation partly in section of ,apparatus by means of which our process may be practiced, showing the part ofthe apparatus throughwhich the cloth is first passed, and
  • Fig. 2 is a similar schematic elevation of the remainder of the apparatus.,V y
  • the grey fabric as itis continuouslyadvanced in open width, is first impregnated with an aqueous solution of pH range 9 to 12.
  • the impregnating solution may be a buffered solution such as sodium hydroxide and disodium phosphate, sodium hydroxide and boric acid, etc., or it may be a solution of an organic derivative of ammonia such as an amine.
  • the open fabric 2 which has not previously been wet with water, is passed through a three-roll mangle having a tank 4 containing the impregnating solution so that the fabric is given two dips and two nips.
  • the squeezed fabric retains more than 20%, and preferably about 50% to 60%, of its weight of the impregnating liquor after the final nip.
  • the impregnated fabric is passed under a dancer roll 6 where the warp tension is adjusted and then fed onto a tenter at 8.
  • the fabric on the tenter adjusted with tension to the proper width, is so heated throughout its thickness that steam is generated in the interior of the fabric which coacts with the liquid in the fabric to set the yarns of the fabric.
  • the number or size of the lamps may be varied to give a heat input between about 15,000 and 35,000 B. t. u. per minute.
  • the fabric passes out of the tenter while ⁇ still damp and containing more than 20%, preferably 20% to 25%, of its weight of the impregnating liquor.
  • the fabric is then scoured in a continuousl Washer I4.
  • a continuous proces's fr imparting to wool fabrics a permanent set resistant to mill scouring, dyeing, finishing, steaming and sponging which comprises continuously advancing the fabric in open Width, wetting the traveling fabric by impregnating it with an aqueous solution of pH 9 to 12, ⁇ generating steam in the interior of the wet traveling. fabric for'about 14 to 21 seconds to coact withtheliquid in the fabric to set the yarns of the fabric, while'infaintaining said fabric under warpwise and weftwise tension, discontinuing the generation of' steam ⁇ while the fabric contains more than.l 20% of the weight of the impregnating liquor, and thereafter scouring the fabric in a continuous washer.
