Definitions

  • the invention relates to devices for treating textiles in which loops of textiles are suspended in steaming apparatus, dryers, or other treating chambers so that full width textiles are carried horizontally in a path.
  • the discharge for the product is most often on the same side of the device as the product inlet.
  • carrier rod guides have a number of disadvantages. For example, it is difficult to maintain the spacing of the carrier rods on the cables in uniform distances, particularly when there is an uneven product pull. Moreover, this design is expensive clue to the numerous reversing pulleys and tension ele ments for the carrier cables, as well as because of the complicated reversing and gripping installation involved.
  • the portion of the textile draped over the rodsA remains constant and, since it does not change, marks are inevitable in the case of dyeing of goods. In other treating processes, creases or marks are shown whe'r'e the goods are carried on the rod.
  • the present invention is admirably suited to obviate the above disadvantages.
  • the carrier rods are mounted on only one end on a twist free endless chain or other rotating member, whereby the chains are carried in the straight path of the track in grooves, guide rods or the like.
  • the chain itself is engaged by wheelsmounted on the columns so that the end of the portion of the carrier rod extending outward ofthe chain is freely suspended.
  • the rods upon which the textile is carried are rotatably mounted in the chain so that, upon contact with stop pins protruding into the path, the rods may be rotated by approximately 90, so that the points of adherence of the product to thc rods continues to travel inv small increments.
  • Both ofthe columns supporting the device, the drive column and the tension column are arranged vertically on a central axis in such a manner so as to provide a straight path for the endless chain while simultaneously permitting circulation of air through either one or the other column.
  • FIG. 1 shows a top view of the carrying device of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a side view of the present invention
  • FIG. 3 shows a detailed side view of a preferred chain
  • FIG. 4 shows a top view of the chain shown in FIG. 3, partially cut away.
  • FIG. 5 shows a partially cutaway view showing a preferred means for mounting the chain with the rod means in parallel tracks.
  • the textile ll enters the device inthe direction shown by arrow l2 and engages a series of rods 14 which are suspended in a horizontal plane near the top of the device I0.
  • the textile ll exits from the device 10 at the same end as it enters and exits in the direction shown by arrow 16.
  • the rods-14 are carried on an endless chain 18 which passes about a vertical drive column 20 and a vertical tension column 22.
  • wheels 2l and 23 are mounted to engage the chain 18 as it passes around the columns 20 and 22.
  • the wheels 2l and 23 are provided with a plurality of notches 21a and 23a which are adapted to engage and support the chain 18.
  • a pair of parallel guide means 24 and 25 Positioned between the wheels 2l and 23 are a pair of parallel guide means 24 and 25 which are adapted to carry the chain 18 in a parallel position between the wheels 21 and 23.
  • drive means 26 are provided to rotate a drive column 20, which in turn rotates the wheel 21 to cause'the chain 18 to rotate and thereby cause the rod means 14 to carry the textile 1l in the direction'shown by arrows 12 and 1'6;
  • an atmosphere inlet 28 leads to a passage 29 passing through the tensioncolumn 22 and out through an outlet 30 which dispersos the atmosphere within the device I0.
  • the drive column 20 or both vertical columns could be provided with the atmosphere passage.
  • a textile may be introduced into a device as shown iny FIGS. I and 2, carried by the device in a looped position through a controlled atmosphere, and withdrawn from the device at the same end of the device that the textile was introduced.
  • the present invention also contemplates a particular design for the chain and the parallel guide means upon which the chain is carried between the respective rotating wheels.
  • the chain comprises a plurality of links 36 which are fastened together by pins 38.
  • the portion 37 of the link 36 which is joined by the pin 38 to the next succeeding link 36a so that the individual chain link bears down against the next succeeding chain link to permit the chain to flex only in a direction inward of the chain.
  • journals 40 which are adapted to hold the rods 14 as shown in FIG. 5. Friction bearings 41 may be provided to firmly grip the rods 14 in the journal 40.
  • FIG. 5 To further provide for the support of the chain carrying the rods through the guide means between the rotating wheels, a particular design of the guide means is shown in FIG. 5.
  • the pins 38 which connect the links 36 as shown in FIG. 3 are provided with roller means 42 and 43.
  • the guide means 24 is fitted with an upper track 44 having a guide portion 45 which contacts roller 43 on pin 38 to resist a bending moment caused by the weight of the textile on the rod 14.
  • the guide means 24 is provided with a lower track 46 which rests against ⁇ roller means 42 to additionally resist the bending'moment causedby the weight of thetextile on the rod 14
  • the guide means 24 is provided with a lower track 46 which rests against ⁇ roller means 42 to additionally resist the bending'moment causedby the weight of thetextile on the rod 14
  • rod 14 contains a roller 48 which rests on a lower guide 47r-a ⁇ ttached to the lower track 46 of the guide means 24.
  • the chain links 36 are suitable for carrying the rods 14 and the textiles looped thereon in a supported fashion, leaving one end of the rod 14 completely free from any support.
  • the apparatus isY adapted topermit incremental rotation Vot" the rod means to thereby intermittently alter the position of the textiles carried ⁇ thereon.
  • a means for means ⁇ 50 which, as shown in FIG.'3, may be shaped in the form of a Malta Cross ⁇ or other radially extending spindle shape suitable forthese purposes.
  • the rotation means 50 is 'fixedly mounted directly on the rod 14 and is positioned so as to contact pin 52 which in turn is attached to the guidemeans incrementally rotating the rod 14 is represented by a rotation 24 by an extension 53.
  • ⁇ As-the rotation means 50 contacts the pin,52,"and thereby meets resistance.
  • the pin 50 rotates approximately 90 as it is driven past the pin 52. Rotation of the 25, a plurality of incremental movements of the rod means l4 will be effected, thereby intermittently altering the position of the textile on the rods.
  • a device for carrying textiles in a looped position through a chamber comprising:
  • a -vertical drive column a vertical tension column; a chain means wrapping the upper portion of each of said columns, said chain having a plurality of links;
  • said plurality of rod means are adapted to carry f said textile in a looped position
  • control means forregulatirig the speed of saidchain with respect to the speedof the textile being introduced to thereby providerelatively uniform loops; said control means including sensing means to measure changes in the speed of said textile, said sensing means being operably a pair of wheel means, one attached to each of said columns connected to said drive means to adjust the speed of said vertical drive column, whereby the speed of said chain is adjusted in proportion tothe changes in speed of said textile.
  • a vertical drive column a vertical tension column; a chain means wrapping the upper; portion of each of said columns, said chain having a plurality of links; a pair of wheel means, one attached to each of said columns and adaptedto engage said chain and support said chain; a pair of parallel .guide means between said columns and adapted to guide and support saidfchain between said p columns; t
  • said plurality of rod means are adapted to carry said textile in a loopedposition; drive means adapted to drive said vertical drive column; and wherein said plurality of said links include upper and lower roller means adapted to cooperatively move along said parallel guide means ⁇ and journulmeans adapted to support said rod means, each of said links being pivotally attached to the next succeeding link such that said link is adapted to pivot only in a directioninw'ard of said chain.
  • a device for carrying textiles in a looped position through a chamber comprising:
  • said hollow column being adapted to receive a conditioned atmosphere and distribute ⁇ said atmosphere in said chamber.
