APPARATUS FOR DYEING YARN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 311,568, dated February 3, 1835.

Application tiled October l, 1884.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, CSAR CORRON, a citizen of the French Republic, residing at Saint- Etienne, in the Department of Loire, in said Republic, have invented a new and useful lmprovement in Apparatus for DyeingYarns, of which the following is a specific-ation, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in whichv Figure l is a side elevation of an apparatus embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same; Fig. 3, a transverse section of the same.

Similar letters of reference designate correr 5 sponding parts in all the figures.

Q is a trough. containing the dye bath. Over this trough is arranged a frame, H, supporting the rollers J J, from which are suspended the skeins to be treated. This frame H is suspended by rods to the levers AAA, which serve to operate the frame for its movement of ascent and descent. The number of these levers varies according to the length of the frame H, so that the said frame will not bend under the load of yarn to be dyed. In their mean position these levers are horizontal.

Upon the same shaft to which the levers A A A are keyed there are also keyed other levers, (l C. Each of these levers C is connected with the next one by means of a rod in such a manner that they all move together. rlhese levers C serve, as may be seen, to produce the movements of the frame H, in which 5 the rollers J J are suspended.

E E are upright levers connected with the levers C C, and,with the horizontal bar D, eX- tend the length of several troughs, and may serve to transmit motion to any number of frames H, arranged in line with each other.

G is an upright slide for guiding the movements of the frame H, and F is a post which supports said guides.

At the extremities of each of the rollers J J is placed a pinion. The pinions of the several rollers are geared together, so that a crank applied to the axle of one of the said rollers may produce the rotation of all. of them.

In order to obviate the inconveniences heretofore experienced by the skeins becoming mixed together or entangling about the sus- (No model.)

pending-rollers, there is placed in each one of the skeins a movable extending-roller, O, which by i ts weight keeps the skeins stretched, and enables the dyeing to be performed both by submersion and rotation.

The dyeing by submersion presents considerable advantages for dyeing in general, and for all operations in dyeing in black, especially in the application of catechu upon the 6o salts of tin, in which it is almost indispensable, if it be desired to operate under the best conditions, sheltered from contact with the air. The dyeing by submersion avoids, also, the prolonged rotation ofthe rollers,and by this means o 5 furnishes agreat advantage in the treatment of the yarn. The said extending-rollers O may be of any material, and of suitable weight to keep the skeins properly extended and make them operate properly in the dye. These ex- 7o tending-rollers may, as illustrated at O in Fig. 3, rest upon two horizontal notched bars, placed one upon each side of the interior of the trough Q, where they are supported on brackets secured to the sides of the trough. Vhen thus placed,said rollers occupy a position in the middle of the skeins, keeping the latter open and preventing them from being intermixed during the upward and downward movement of thcframe H. In the movements 8o of the skeins lengthwise the bars l? are removed from their places and the rollers are allowed to descend into the loop of the skeins, where, by their weight, they keep all the skeins parallel in their places, facilitating the 8 5 movement given to the skeins by the rotation ot` the roller J. By the aid of this system of extending-rollers the movement of the skeins lengthwise may be obtained in two ways, either by the hand of an attendant turninggo the skeins upon. the suspension-rollers J without turning the latter rollers, or by the rotation of these latter rollers by the crank N and the gearing hereinbefore described, or by any suitable mechanical movement.

W'hen the operator or attendant desires to obtain the up -anddown movement of the frame H, he has but to place upon the sides of the trough the notched bars l? and place the extending-rollers thereon, in order to allow 100 the skeins to operate freely in the bath. The operation of the extending-rollers retained on the bars P is then to remain in the middle of the skeins, their extremities free, and preserv-v ing in the middle ofthe skein a proper direction to all the threads.

In order to provide for the transfer of the skeins from one trough to another, there are placed at the extremities of the troughs snpports M, carrying two rails, K. These rails are continued along neighboring troughs, and the passage of the frame H loaded with skeins from one trough to another is easily effected by the aid of Wheels L upon the said frame, adapted to run on the rails K.

Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of the frame H, the`suspension-rollers J J, mounted therein, the dyetrough Q, and levers A A A C C C, for produeing an upward and downward movement of said frame and suspension-rollers, substantially as herein described.

2. The eo1nbination,with the dye-trough Q, the frame H, suspended over the saine, the suspension-rollers J J, mounted in said frame, and the extendingrollers O O', and supports for the latter rollers Within the trough,where by the said rollers maybe either supported by the trough within the skeins, or suspended in the skeins themselves, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
