Definitions

  • dyeing apparatus for textile goods may be constructed with a foraminated basket positionable within an open top vat for receiving therewithin textile goods to be dyed.
  • One such apparatus is shown and described in United States Patent No. 3,347,- 067 granted on Oct. 17, 1967, and owned in common with the present invention. In that apparatus, a part-cylindrical vat is filled to a suitable level with textile dye or other treatment liquid.
  • the open top vat facilitates loading of goods over the back wall of the foraminated basket and unloading of goods over the forward wall of the foraminated basket, but creates problems with retention of dye liquor and dye liquor vapor. More specifically, the open top of the vat permits splashing of liquid dye liquid and ready escape of vapor from the dye liquor into the ambient atmosphere of a dye house where the dye operations are taking place.
  • a primary object of the present invention to provide an improved dyeing apparatus for textile goods, which apparatus is adapted to retain within the apparatus itself the dye liquor 3,498,092 Patented Mar. 3, 1970 used in the dyeing process and vapors thereof, while facilitating the ready loading of undyed textile goods into one side of the apparatus and ready unloading thereof from the other side of the apparatus after dyeing of the goods is terminated.
  • a dyeing apparatus is contemplated wherein an open top vat adapted to contain a dye liquor normally receives therewithin a foraminated basket adapted to contain the goods to be dyed.
  • the basket and vat are secured together adjacent the upper extremity of the front walls thereof, in such a manner that the basket may move pivotally relative to the open top vat over a range of positions from a normal position disposed within the vat to an extended position outside of and above the vat.
  • Dye liquor and vapor are retained within the apparatus by the cooperation of cover means supported on and movable with the foraminated basket and the vat structure and adapted to extend over the open top of the vat.
  • a more specific object of the present invention is to provide, in a textile goods dyeing apparatus of the paddle type, a pair of door members respectively cooperating with the front and rear walls of a foraminated basket mounted for pivotal movement relative to an open top vat and means for controllably positioning the front and rear doors to permit opening the rear door only for loading of undyed textile goods into the dyeing apparatus from one side thereof and, subsequent to termination of the dyeing process, opening the front door in order to permit unloading of textile goods from the other side of the apparatus.
  • fluid pressure actuated devices such as cylinders having extensible piston rods may be mounted for controlling movement of the door members and so arranged as to assure protection of the extensible piston rods against contact with the dye liquor vapor during loading and unloading of the apparatus.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus in accordance with the present invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a partial elevation view, in section, of the apparatus of FIGURE 1, taken generally along the line 22 in that figure;
  • FIGURE 3 is a partial elevation view, in section, of a door member and supporting structure therefor included in the apparatus of FIGURE 1, taken generally along the line 33 in that figure.
  • FIGURE 4 is a view somewhat similar to FIGURE 3, showing the mounting arrangement for a fiuid pressure actuating device and taken generally along the line 4-4 in FIGURE 1;

  • each of the front and rear doors comprises a generally planar door member, indicated at 34 for the front door and 35 for the rear door.
  • each of the front and rear door members 34 and 35 is mounted on the basket 20 for linear translational movement between a lowered position wherein access to the basket 20 is blocked (as shown by the position of front door member 34 in FIGURE 2) and a raised position wherein access to the basket is opened (as shown by the position of the rear door member 35 in FIGURE 2)
  • the cover means further comprises door sealing means for cooperating with the door members to cover the open top of the vat.
  • the door sealing means includes a door sealing member 36 spanning the area between the lowered front and rear door members and a pair of generally trapezoidally-shaped end closure panels 38 and 39.
  • the cover means includes spaced apart upper and lower plate members 40, 41, 42 and 43 (FIGURES 3 and 4) which define therebetween guideways, trackways, or slideways receiving the side edge extremities of the generally planar door members 34 and 35.
  • a vapor tight seal is not in all instances required. More particularly, where it is necessary to guard only against the splashing of liquor from the open top vat, the provision of the vapor tight seal is not required. Accordingly, a certain looseness of fit may be tolerated in those instances, so long as the cover means is effective to prevent the splashing of liquid.
  • a vapor proof seal may be provided by the installation of suitable gaskets, if such is found appropriate or desirable in a specific instance.
  • door actuating means respectively operatively connected to the front and rear door members 34 or 35 (FIGURES 1, 2 and 4). Adtween the lowered and raised positions.
