Definitions

  • FIG.1 AUXILIARY DEVICE FOR STAR-STEAMING Filed April 4, 19 66 Sheet of 4 FIG.1
  • FIG.2 AUXILIARY DEVICE FOR STAR-STEAMING Sheet Filed April 4, 1966 FIG.2
  • the present invention relates to a cooperating auxiliary device for loading a star steaming device, said star steaming device having a rotatably mounted support having a number of radially extended arms which are provided with regularly spaced hooks at their lower sides, means for hanging a width of a coarse fabric carrier spirally on said spaced hooks and means for feeding a textile width to be treated between the turns .of said carrier, said auxiliary device comprising a straight-edge crossing the axis of said support under a sharp angle, means to position the upper end of one edge of said straight-edge be tween said regularly spaced hooks on said star steaming device, mechanical means to feed said width of a coarse fabric carrier and said textile width to be treated to said straight-edge and means cooperating with said rotatably mounted support on said star steaming device to displace said straight-edge in a radial direction with respect to said rotatably mounted support.
  • the method for the steaming of textile widths is known, wherein a width of coarse fabric, the carrier, is hung up spirally on a support having radially extended arms, which are provided with hooks at their lower sides, and'a textile width to be treated is fed between the turns of the carrier, after which the support is placed in a pressure vessel and is treated with steam.
  • This treatment which is usually employed for the fixation of coloring agents, is referred to as star steaming.
  • the fastening of the carrier to the support is done by hand. It makes exhausting work, because the man who hangs the carrier on the hooks, while doing so is standing under the arms of the rotatably mounted support and has to lift the carrier to fasten its upper rim to the hooks. Simultaneously, a second man feeds the material to be treated between the turns of the carrier.
  • auxiliary device with a straight-edge which crosses the axis of the support under a sharp angle and one edge of which has its upper end positioned between the hooks of the support and is movable in radial direction with respect to the support.
  • the carrier Owing to the oblique position of the straight-edge the carrier can be guided obliquely upwards towards the straight-edge, without its being hampered by the hooks and after it has been guided about the edge of the straightedge, it can be caught by the hooks in horizontal direction and carried away.
  • the device according to the present invention is further characterized by a mechanism for the periodical displacement of the edge of the straight-edge over a distance, which corresponds to the distance between two consecutive hooks of the same arm of the support. In this manner it is achieved that each time after the carrier has been hung up on a circle of hooks positioned at a certain distance from the axis of the support, the straight-edge shifts in order to hang the carrier on the next circle of hooks.
  • the device is further equipped with a movable frame, onto which the straight-edge is movably mounted, a mechanism for the continuous displacement of the said frame and a mechanism which can make the straight-edge go through movements with respect to the frame which are alternately equal but opposite to the displacement of the frame or rapid and retrogressive.
  • the mechanism for the movement of the straight-edge and the one for the movement of the frame are derived directly from the rotation of the support, to prevent the occurrence of phase shifts which might bring the hooks into contact with the straight-edge.
  • a transmission ratio may be chosen which is such that onto each circle of hooks one or more turns of the carrier can be hung as required.
  • the width of textile which is to be treated is conveyed towards the carrier by a roller, positioned near to the straight-edge and parallel to the axis of the support.
  • the said roller is preferably carried by the movable frame and thus accompanies the slow average displacement of the straight-edge.
  • the textile width is carried along by the surface roughness of the carrier in a known manner.
  • FIG. 1 is a front view
  • FIG. 1A is a detail of arm 2 of FIG. 1 and FIG. 1B a cross-section thereof,
  • FIG. 2 is a side view
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of the auxiliary device
  • FIG. 4 is the mechanism for the movement of the straight-edge
  • FIG. 5 is the upper end of the straight-edge of an enlarged scale.
  • the carriage 3 In the position represented, the carriage 3 can be fixed by means not further indicated in the drawing.
  • the ends of the hooks 58 on arm 2 point outwards and have an upward inclination as well as an inclination in the direction of rotation, which is indicated by arrow 59 (FIG. 1A).
  • the motor 7 and the reduction gear 8 are mounted over the support 1 on the portal 6.
  • the gear 8 is connected with the support 1 by means of the conical clutch 9, which is pressed against a corresponding conical part of the support 1 by the spring 10.
  • the co-operation between the clutch 9 and the support 1 can be interrupted by means of the lever 11 and the cable 12, which is connected to an operating element not shown in detail.
  • the rails show a slight inclination, corresponding to the oblique position of the arms 2 of the support 1.
  • the superstructure at the same time accommodates the shaft 22, to which the straight-edge 23 and the arm 24 are fixed.
  • the straight-edge 23 is supported by shaft 22 which, in turn, is connected to superstructure 20 by bearings 22. At its lower end, shaft 22 is provided with arm 24.
  • the carriage 13 can be moved by means of the screw spindle 25, on which is provided a nut 26 which is connected with the carriage 13, and which can be driven by the support 1 by way of the gear wheel 27 which is connected to the support 1, the gear wheel 28 which is engaged with the wheel 27, the reduction gear 29 and the chain transmission 30.
  • This mechanism is constructed in such a way that, when the support 1 rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow 31 in FIG. 3, the carriage 13 moves to the right in FIG. 1.
  • This last figure shows the screw spindle 25, in which the spline 33 has been incorporated, and the nut 26 which is fixed to the frame of the carriage 13.
  • a sleeve 35 On the screw spindle is provided a sleeve 35, which has a smooth bore and a key interlocking with the spline 33 and which is enclosed between the nut 26 and the plate 34.
  • the lever 38 with the rollers 39 and 40 at its extremities is supported on the cam 36 of the sleeve by means of the pin 37. Between the lever 38 and the sleeve 35 is placed the pressure spring 41.
  • the freely rotatable ring 42 On the nut 26 there is mounted the freely rotatable ring 42, to which the cable 45 is connected via the pin 43 and the connecting link 44.
  • the ring 42 is further provided with the cam 46, with which the roller of the lever 38 can co-operate.
  • a cam 47 which is fixedly mounted on the carriage 13 co-operates with the roller 39.
  • the cable 45 runs from mechanism 32, to which its one end is connected, over the pulley 48 along the longitudinal beam of carriage 13 and over the pulley 49 (FIG. 1) to 4 the end 24 (FIG. 2) of arm 24, to which its other end is connected, causing the straight-edge 23 to carry out a hinging movement, which is opposite to the displacement of the carriage 13, the result being that the foremost edge of the straight-edge 23 is not displaced with respect to the support 1.
  • a roller 51 which is rotatably supported at its lower end by the superstructure 20 and at its upper end by an only partly shown extension 52 of the superstructure 20 of the carriage 13, is positioned vertically for guiding the textile width 50.
  • One of a pair of rollers 53 mounted on the superstructure 20 is connected with the roller 51 by a string transmission 54.
  • the clutch 9 is pressed onto the support 1 by releasing the cable 12.
  • the carriage 13 is taking up a position which is such that the upper end of the straightedge 23 is situated between the first and second circles of hooks of the support 1.
  • the width of jute is laid by hand between the pair of rollers 53 and about the foremost edge of the srtaightedge 23 and is fastened by its upper rim to the first hook of one of the arms 2. After this, the support is turned a little farther than one revolution. This can be effected by hand or by throwing in the motor 7. Hereby the width of jute is caught by the innermost hooks of the arms 2 and carried along.
  • the width of textile which is to be treated is guided about the roller 51 and between the two turns of the width of jute 21 hanging on the support 1 at the location of the straightedge 23. If required, the width of textile 50 can be fastened to the jute by means of a pin.
  • the device is then ready to hang the whole of the width of jute 21 onto the support 1 and at the same guide the width of textile 50 between the turns of the jute 21..
  • the motor 7 is switched on, so that the support 1 starts revolving in the direction indicated by the arrow 31.
  • the width of jute 21 is caught and carried along by the hooks of the support 1, at the location where it runs 01f from the upper end of the straight-edge 23.
  • rollers 53 are brought to rotation by the passing of the width of jute 21, the said rotation being transmitted by the string transmission 54 onto the roller 51, which hereby obtains a peripheral velocity, which is just a little in excess of the velocity of the width of jute 21.
  • the roller 51 conveys the textile width 50 towards the support 1 with a slight excess, so that the textile arrives free from any tension between the turns of the width of jute on the support.
  • the roller 53 as well as the roller 51 have rough surfaces.
  • the straight-edge 23 is moved by the mechanism 32, via the cable 45 and the arm 24 in the direction of the support 1, at the same velocity, at which the carriage 13 is displaced.
  • the result is that the position of the foremost edge of the straight-edge 23 does not change with respect to the support 1 and that the upper end of the straight-edge 23 remains in its position between the same two circles of hooks.
  • the foremost edge of the straight-edge is provided at that location with a recess 55, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the straight-edge 23 is additionally provided with a projection 56 which is situated over the recess 55.
  • the carriage 3 with the support 1 is then placed in a pressure vessel for the required steam treatment. After this treatment, the carriage 3 with the support 1 is replaced in the device and the support 1 is unwound until it is empty, for which purpose there is provided a driving motor, not shown in the drawing, for the roll, onto which the width of jute is to be rewound. Meanwhile the carriage 13 moves in the direction of the support 1 and has returned to its starting position when the support 1 is empty. The device is then ready for the reception onto the support 1 of the next width of textile to be treated.
