APPARATUS FOR 'DYEING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 347,959, dated August 24, 1886.

Application filed December 28, 18i-'5. SrrialNo. 186,883. (No modrl.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EUGENE RAU, of Philadelphia, Philadelphia county, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Apparatus for Dyeing with Colors Dissolved in Hydrocarbons, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved apparatus for dyeing fabrics with aniline color dissolved in hydrocarbons.

The invention consists in thecombination, with a vat, of rollers at the top and bottom, pressing-rollers, an apron below them, a roller 1 around which the dyed fabric is passed, and

a roller on which the fabric is wound.

Reference-is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which a longitudinal sectional elevation of my improved apparatus is shown;

The color, dissolved in hydrocarbons, is

poured into a vat, A, having a V-shaped or other cross-section. At the top of the vat two rollers, 13, are journaled parallel with the longitudinal plane, andat the bottom a third roller, is journaled. The vatis supported by a frame, D, and on the same two standards, I

I, are erected, in which the lower presser roller, E, is journaled a short distance above 0 thetop of thetank. The upper presser-roller,

I is journaled in boxes arranged to slide VCI t-ically in vertical slots E in the standards I.

Screws G are provided in the standards I for adjusting the boxes of the upper presserroller, F.

An apron, H, conducts the color pressed by the rollers E and F out of the fabric back into the vat.

A roller, J, is jonrnaled in standards K on the frame D, and on the said roller J aroller, L, rests, which slides in the forked upper ends of the standards K. The roller J is driven a second conducting-roller in the vat, and be by a crossed belt, M, from the lower presserroller, E.

The fabric roll N is journaled in arms P of +5 the frame D, in front of the vat. The fabric 0 is passed from the roll N over one roller 13, under the roller 0. over the other roller B, between the rollers E and F, around the roller J, and on the roller L. The fabric is pulled through the vat by rollers E and F, and absorbs the dissolved color, the surplus of w hich is pressed out by the rollers E F and flows down the apron H into the vat. The roller J revolves the fabric on the roller I), and the 5 fabric is wound upon the said roller. The fabric is then steamed and finished.

I am aware that it is not new to press the fabric over a conducting-roller, thence under 6o tween feeding and squeezing rollers, nor to pass it through a slit in the top of the vat, and thence under a roller in the bottom of the vat and between drawing and pressing rollers near the top and opposite side of the vat. 6

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In an apparatus for dyeing fabrics with colors dissolved in hydrocarbons, the combination, with the vat A, of the rollers B and G at the top and bottom, respectively, the rollers E and F, and the apron H below the roller E, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. In an apparatus for dyeing fabrics, the combination, with the vat A, of the rollers B 7 andO, the rollers E and F, the apron H, the rollers J and L on the standards K, and the crossed belt M, substantially as herein shown and described.
