Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements in and modifications to the apparatus for printing of fabrics particularly (though not exclusively) tufted fabrics such as carpets as described in patent specification No. 2,997,952.
  • an apparatus for printing fabrics which comprises, inter alia, a driven printing roll which has a dye-absorbent material partly or wholly covering its surface against which the fabric is held in contact so as to be continuously advanced during the rotation of the printing roll.
  • the fabric is preferably held against the printing roll by a pressure roll behind the fabric.
  • the specification indicates that one or more pairs of printing and pressure rolls may be associated with the printing run of the fabric to apply a series of coloured patterns thereto.
  • FIGURE 3 of the patent specification referred to above in which two printing rolls co-operate with a single interposed pressure roll to apply two different colours and/or patterns to the fabric.
  • the present invention provides in an apparatus for printing fabrics in web form comprising a driven printing roller having a continuous impervious surface wholly or partly covered with a material which readily absorbs dye, the absorbent covering being confined to, or omitted from, defined areas of the printing roll surface which collectively represents at least one complete repeat of the desired pattern, means whereby the fabric is held in contact with the absorbent covering on said roller by a pressure roll behind the latter so as to be continuously advanced during rotation of the printing roll, and means for continuously charging the absorbent covering with dye during such rotation, the improvement or modification of incorporating at least two printing rollers for successive printing stages on the same side of the fabric intergeared with their respective pressure rolls, which pressure rolls are each driven at the same speed, and means provided for adjustment of at least 1 pressure roll independently of the other pressure roll or rolls to align the pattern on the printing rollers.
  • the pressure rolls are driven by an inextensible belt, such as a chain, which passes round adjacent pairs of pressure rolls and additional means are provided for maintaining a constant tension in the said belt between adjacent pairs of rolls.
  • an inextensible belt such as a chain
  • the means permitting adjustment of one of the pressure rolls and the means maintaining the belt at constant tension comprises a supporting means, such as plate, which is slidably movable along a defined track preferably in a plane normal to the axis of the pressure rolls and positioned substantially midway between adjacent pairs thereof, carrying at one end a freely rotatable pinion around which one run of the belt passes, and at the other end a disc the rotation of which is restricted by means, such as a torsion spring, attached thereto and to the support means, and two freely rotatable pinions mounted at opposite ends of a diameter of the said disc, the other run of the belt passing around and between the latter mentioned pinions.
  • a supporting means such as plate, which is slidably movable along a defined track preferably in a plane normal to the axis of the pressure rolls and positioned substantially midway between adjacent pairs thereof, carrying at one end a freely rotatable pinion around which one run of the belt passes, and at the other end a disc the rotation of which is restricted
  • the input drive may be applied to the centre pressure roll only, when 3 pairs of printing and pressure rolls are employed.
  • the drawing is a schematic side elevation of the preferred embodiment in which 3 pairs of printing and pressure rolls are employed.
  • a torsion spring 0 is fixed at one end to disc E at point P and at the other end to plate D at point Q.
  • Two pinions C which are free to rotate about pivots R are attached to disc E at opposite ends of a diameter thereof.
  • a similar assembly is located between pressure rolls G and G
  • Separate chain drives I and J connect sprockets K and K respectively, one run of the chain passing over pinion C and the other run passing round and between pinions C.
  • apparatus for printing fabrics in web form comprising a driven printing roller having a continuous impervious surface wholly or partly covered with a material which readily absorbs dye, the absorbent covering being confined to, or omitted from, defined areas of the printing roll surface which collectively represents at least one complete repeat of the desired pattern, means whereby the fabric is held in contact with the absorbent covering on said roller by a pressure roll behind the latter so as to be continuously advanced during rotation of the printing roll, and means for continuously charging the absorbent covering with dye during such rotation, the improvement or modification of incorporating at least two printing rollers, for successive printing stages on the same side of the fabric, intergeared with their respective pressure rolls, which pressure rolls are each driven at the same speed by an inextensible belt which passes around adjacent pairs of pressure rolls and which includes additional means for maintaining a constant tension in said belt between the adjacent pairs of rolls, and means provided for adjustment of at least one pressure roll independently of the other pressure roll or rolls to align the patterns on the printing rollers and wherein the means permitting adjustment of one of the pressure rolls and the means maintaining
  • Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the means restricting the rotation of the disc comprises a torsion spring.
