Definitions

  • a method and apparatus are disclosed for applying treatment media, such as a dyestufi', to a moving yarn so that the media appears at intervals along the yarn. Excess media is removed from the yarn by passing the media carrying yarn in closely spaced disposition relative to a surface that is permeable to the media and causing a reduced pressure to be applied through the permeable surface to draw oil the excess media.
  • treatment media such as a dyestufi'
  • the invention concerns the application of treatment media to elongate materials and has particular though not exclusive reference to the application of dyestuffs to textile yarns.
  • the present application is concerned with a further utilisation of air or other fluids in controlling the application of dyestuffs or other treamtent media to moving elongate materials and relates to a method whereby the material during passage to or from the dye or treatment station is subjected to a reduced fluid pressure in closely adjacent disposition relative to a surface permeable to the media and through which the reduced pressure is applied.
  • the invention resides in apparatus for practising the method aforesaid characterised by the provision of a means adjacent the treatment station and relative to which the material moves in passing through such station, which means is permeable to the treatment media and is adapted to allow of the application of a reduced pressure to elongate materials moving thereby so as to cause the removal of excess media therefrom.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the invention with inte rior passages and parts shown in phantom;
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the mechanism for limiting the movement of the valve member.
  • a yarn dyeing apparatus comprises a rigid body part 11, two spaced, parallel bores 12, 13 extending horizontally through the said body part, a valve member 14 axially movable within the upper bore 12, the lower bore being arranged to receive the yarn 15 under processing, a vertically disposed dye feed bore 16 the axis of which lies in the plane defin'ed by the axes of the said parallel bores, and actuator means 17 whereby the valve member 14 is positionally adjustable relative to the bore 12 in which it is located.
  • the upper bore is of constant diameter throughout its length, and a slotted bush 18 is secured to the body part 11 in axial alignment with the said. bore.
  • the valve member 14 comprises a rod of a length in excess of the axial extent of the bore, the said rod being a close but free fit within the bore and extending from the bore at each end thereof.
  • FIG. 2 shows that the end 14a of the member which extends into and through the bush 18 has a cap 19 applied thereto, the said cap 19 being counter bored, as at 20, and defining, together with the member 14, an annular space 21 to receive a helical return spring 22, such spring being disposed between the outer end face of the bush and the inner end face 20a of the counter bore.
  • a locating pin 23 is secured to the valve member and extends radially therefrom, such pin engaging the slot 18b in the bush and serving to define the range of movement of the valve member relative to the bore in which it is located.
  • the opposite end 14b of the valve member is formed with an axial bore. 24 of such length as to reach, at its inner extremity, a radial passage 25 in the valve member, such radial passage, in the closed position of the valve member relative to the bore in which it is located, being in alignment with the lower part 16a of dye feed bore.
  • a dye feed passage 14c extends diametrically through the valve member 14 at such axial position therealong as to be in alignment with the dye feed bore 16 in the open position of the said member.
  • the lower bore 13 presents two spaced, increased-diameter portions 13a, 13b each such portion having an inlet port 26, whereby an increased or a reduced pressure may be applied to the respective portion by any convenient means, whilst two porous sleeve 27 are located in the bore and constitute a yarn feed passage through which the yarn 15 under processing moves, the said sleeves 27 being arranged in adjacent end-to-end disposition and the adjacent annular end faces thereof being counter bored slightly to define a dye-stuff receiving cavity 28 to which dyestulf is fed by the dye feed bore 16.
  • the actuator means 17 comprises a control cam or other suitable means arranged to adjust the position of the valve member 14 relative to the bore 12 in accordance with a predetermined cycle thus to place the dystulf receiving cavity in communication with the dyestuff supply or not as desired.
  • the yarn 15 under processing will be caused to pass through the sleeve 27 in the lower bore 13, a dyestuff will be fed to the dye feed bore 16, and the valve member 14 will be caused to move in accordance with a requisite cycle.
  • the yarn passing through the associated sleeve 27 will be supported axially thereof and the incidence of smudging, in the event that the yarn has been subjected to a previous dyestuif application, will be avoided.
  • the pressure in the second cavity 13b will be reduced too and thus again the yarn will be suspended centrally of the bore in the respective sleeve.
  • any excess dyestuff as applied to the yarn at the dyestuif receiving cavity and carried forward by such yarn. will be removed by the reduced pressure, the corresponding cross section al dimensions of the bore and the yarn being such that the latter lies closely adjacent the inner surface of the bore during passage therethrough.
  • the accuracy of dyestuff application can be improved, it is thought, by applying a reduced pressure to the bore 24, the valve member being in a position in which the radially directed extremity 25 of the bore 24 is aligned with the feed bore 16, such application serving to remove excess dyestulf from the lower part of the bore 16 and from the dyestuff receiving cavity 28 thus avoiding contamination of dyestuffs already present on the yarn from a previous dye station.
  • the invention is not restricted to the exact features Of the embodiment hereinbefore described since alternatives will readily present themselves to one skilled in the art.
  • the two sleeves as located in the lower bore 13 can be replaced by a single sleeve if preferred, whilst any convenient means may be utilised for effecting axial adjustment of the valve member.
  • any convenient means may be utilised for effecting axial adjustment of the valve member.
  • the sleeve member or members whilst preferably being of the character hereinbefore disclosed, may take other forms, the requirement being merely that the structure be permeable to the treatment media and to the fluid.
  • a helical coil of closely spaced turns or a succession of closely spaced plates maintained in such disposition by any convenient means may be used with advantage in some circumstances.
  • Yarn treatment apparatus including a treatment station, a feed conduit through which treatment media is fed to such station, a porous body adjacent said treatment station and having parts thereof on each side of the said station, a passageway in said body adapted to receive the yarn under processing and to guide such yarn to and from the said station, and means adapted to apply a reduced air pressure to the said passageway through the said body, which reduced pressure is applied to the yarn through the porous body.
  • Yarn treatment apparatus as claimed in claim 1, including a wall structure about said porous body adapted and arranged as to form, with the said body, a cavity of which a wall is defined by the said body, the said means being arranged to apply a reduced air pressure to said cavity.
  • Elongate material treatment apparatus comprising a body part, two spaced bores in said body part, a feed conduit extending between and connecting the said bores, 21 displaceable valve means intersecting said conduit So as to control the passage of fluid therethrough, the said valve means being accommodated in one of said bores, 21 treatment station in the other said bore and to which the feed conduit transmits a treatment media, a porous body within the said other bore, the said body being adapted to support an elongate material in closely adjacent disposition relative thereto, and pneumatic means adapted to apply a reduced air pressure to the said porous body.
  • the displaceable valve means is adapted to apply a reduced air pressure to the region of the treatment station.
  • valve means includes a valve member having an axially directed passage therein which terminates in a radial bore, the said bore being so positioned axially of the member as to become aligned with the feed conduit and thus connected with the treatment station upon displacement of the valve means.
  • Yarn treatment apparatus comprising -a body part, a bore in the said body part through which a yarn under treatment passes, a treatment station in said bore, a feed conduit connecting with the said station, a valve means acting in said conduit and adapted to feed treatment media thereto in accordance with a required sequence, a fluid permeable structure within the said bore and adjacent to the said station, a passageway in said structure through which the said yarn passes, and a means adapted to apply a reduced pressure to the said passageway thereby to remove excess treatment media from the yarn, the said pressure being applied to the passageway through the structure.
