Definitions

  • the container is of substantially annular configuration, as such term is used herein, and is subdivided into compartments by a plurality of concentrically arranged intermediate walls.
  • the compartments are divided at their highest point into sectors by means of a radial chute or shaft which extends through the container and communicates with the innermost compartment.
  • Each compartment opens at the region of the shaft into its neighboring compartment alternatingly to each side of the shaft.
  • means are provided in the container in order to guide the textile web or the like through the shaft and thereafter successively through all of the compartments for the purpose of treating such textile web by the treatment medium which is located in each compartment.
  • the present invention relates to a new and improved container arrangement for the continuous treatment of textile material, typically webor strand-like textile material, with a suitable treatment medium.
  • this known type of equipment also has the drawback that it requires a great deal of space, and furthermore the so-called residence time of the fabric web in the treatment liquid is very small in comparison to the material contents of the apparatus.
  • a primary objective of the present invention is the provision of textile treatment equipment which is not associated with the aforementioned drawbacks and Which effectively fulfils the existing need.
  • Another, more specific object of the present invention relates to an improved container construction for the treatment of textile materials which does not possess the aforementioned drawbacks of the known types of equipment, and furthermore which possesses a compact, spaceand material-saving construction while enabling the effective treatment of textile material possessing extremely large material length with a very high residence time and with the same or different types of treatment media.
  • Still a further significant object of the present invention relates to an improved container construction for the treatment of textile materials in a continuous fashion, effectively, efficiently and reliably, allowing for maximum exposure time of the textile material to the treatment medium, and further providing versatility in the treatment ope-ration through the possibility of carrying out different types of treatment procedures with different types of treatment medium as desired.
  • Yet a further significant object of the present invention relates to improved construction of textile treatment equipment embodying a container equipped with mechanism for the continuous guiding and introduction of the textile material, during longer residence time, through a treatment bath, to thereby expose all portions of the textile material to the treatment medium for a sufiicient length of time to carry out satisfactory treatment of such textile material.
  • the container construction of the aforementioned type is generally manifested by the feature that it possesses a substantially annular or ring-shaped configuration and is subdivided by a plurality of concentrically disposed intermediate walls into compartments which are divided at their highest location into sectors by a radially extending chute or shaft member traversing through the container and opening into the innermost compartment.
  • Each compartment opens from the region of the shaft member into the neighboring compartment, with the communication of neighboring compartments being provided alternatingly at opposite"sides of the shaft member.
  • the invention contemplates providing in the container mechanism for guiding the textile Web or the like through the shaft member and thereafter successively through all of the compartments for the purpose of treating such textile material with the treatment medium located in each com- 3 partment through which the textile material momentarily passes through.
  • annular or ringshaped, or equivalent terminology, as employed in conjunction with the container is used in its broader sense, and, therefore, there should be understood a spatial configuration of optional cross-section which possesses an opening.
  • this terminology is not strictly limited to a purely circular shape of the container since other geometric configurations are contemplated and readily possible within the confines of the inventive conceptall as will be more fully described and explained hereinafter.
  • FIG. 1 schematically illustrates in cross-sectional view a preferred construction of inventive container for the treatment of textile materials
  • FIG. 2 is a fragmentary detail showing the transition location from one compartment to its neighboring com partment in accordance with a variant construction from that shown in FIG. 1.
  • inventive container construction for the treatment of textile materials will be seen to comprise a container body member 1a possessing a substantially circular-cylindrical outer wall 1 and a likewise circular-cylindrical inner wall 2, which is concentric to the outer wall 1. Furthermore, two ring-shaped end walls, not visible in the drawing, serve to close the space between the walls 1 and 2 at the sides thereof.
  • the annular or ring-shaped container constructed in this manner, and possessing a horizontally disposed lengthwise axis bears upon a support member 3.
  • annular compartment located between the outer wall 1 and the inner wall 2 is sub-divided by a plurality of intermediate walls 4, 5, 6 and 7.
  • intermediate walls 4, 5, 6 and 7 likewise possess a substantially cylindrical configuration and extend concentrically with respect to the aforementioned walls 1 and 2.
  • the container construction of the invention further contemplates the provision of a chute or shaft member 8 extending from the apex or top point of the container body In radially towards the inside thereof and over the entire length of such container.
  • Chute or shaft member 8 furthermore opens into the innermost partial compartment 3 formed between the wall members 2 and 4 and simultaneously divides all of the partial compartments 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the container into sectors. Consequently, each of the partial compartments 9 to 13 substantially possess the form of an open at the top.
  • the intermediate walls 4, 5, 6 and 7 are alternately sealed or welded by means of their one terminal edge against the one or the other of the side walls 14 and 15, respectively of the chute or shaft mem her 8, and with their oppositely situated terminal end do not extend completely to the other side wall of such chute member, so that each of the partial compartments 9 to 13 alternatingly is opened, in other words, communicates With the neighboring compartment at the region of the shaft member 8.
  • the terminal end portions of the intermediate walls and 7 are sealingly connected with the side wall 14 of the shaft member 8, whereas at the opposite side Wall 15, there are sealingly connected with such last-mentioned side wall the terminal end portions of the intermediate walls 4 and 6.
  • the transition location from the individual compartments 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 to the neighboring compartment have conveniently been designated by reference numerals 16, 17, 18 and 19, respectively.
  • the invention further contemplates the provision of additional elements for guiding, transporting and/or supporting a textile web or the like within the internal space of the container and through the individual compartments 9 to 13.
  • additional elements for guiding, transporting and/or supporting a textile web or the like within the internal space of the container and through the individual compartments 9 to 13.
  • such elements are represented by suitable rollers or rolls, serving to carry out different purposes, and which will be more fully explained hereinafter in conjunction with the guiding of a textile web B through the container.
  • the textile web B is guided via a tension measuring device 20 equipped with dancer roll means 20a through the chute or shaft member 8 to the first row of roller members 21.
  • the individual rollers or rolls 21 of this first row are arranged closely adjacent to one another within the innermost compartment 9.
  • the tension measuring device 20 is situated externally of the container body member 1a.
  • this tension measuring device 20 could also be arranged at the apex of the compartment 9 at the inlet location for the textile web B.
  • rollers 21 are chosen such that they are located as closely as possible to one another without touching. Hence, there is simultaneously achieved that the free unsupported path of the textile web B is relatively small. This textile web B is guided about the rollers 21 in a meander-like or serpentine-like fashion. Since the rollers 21 are situated very close to one another, they tend to form a practically uninterrupted support for the textile web.
  • the textile web When the textile web has reached the end of the innermost compartment 9, it is introduced via a further textile material tensioning measuring device 22 through the transition location 16 to the next innermost compartment 10.
  • the textile web B moves through this compartment 10 in the same serpentine-like or undulating-like fashion as it moved through the compartment 9, but in an opposite direction, and travels about the associated roller members 21 thereof until reaching the corresponding transition location 17 where it again is guided via a further tension measuring device into the next innermost compartment 11.
  • the textile web B moves through the compartment 11, then through the further compartments 12 and 13 and at the end of the outermost compartment 13 is withdrawn through a discharge or outlet connection 23 provided at the outer wall 1, from the container.
  • the textile web B, or other material undergoing treatment could be guided in the same manner but in the opposite direction through the container construction.
  • tensioning measuring devices at the transition locations 16 to 19 of neighboring compartments 9 to 13.
  • tensioning measuring devices at the transition locations 16 to 19 of neighboring compartments 9 to 13.
  • FIG. 2 it would also be readily possible to provide at these transition locations from one compartment to the next as shown in FIG. 2, additionally a squeezing mechanism 24, or even such squeezing mechanism for itself, that is to say, while omitting the textile material-tension measuring device.
  • the described and illustrated container construction is designed for a continuous wet treatment of a textile web or the like in accordance with the so-called cascade principle and in countercurrent flow to the treatment fluid medium.
  • Wide mouth nozzle members In order to intensify the treatment effect within the individual compartments, it is possible to additionally provide Wide mouth nozzle members, by means of which the treatment liquid from the individual compartments additionally can be circulated or introduced from the outside into these compartments.
  • Such type wide mouth nozzle members have, for instance, been schematically indicated at location 28 for the compartment 13 of FIG. 1.
  • each compartment to the neighboring compartment forms a free overflow for the treatment liquid, with the level of the liquid in each partial compartment regulating itself in accordance with the principle of communicating conduits.
  • the height of the overflow in other words the position of the liquid level within the partial compartments 9 to 13, is determined by the preferably adjustable sheet metal partition wall members 26 provided at the free terminal edges of the intermediate separation walls 4, 5, 6 and 7. In so doing, it is remarkable that at the transition locations between the compantments, there always appears a space or area free of liquid, in other words an air pocket or chamber is formed, within which there can be housed the tension measuring device 22 and/ or the squeezing mechanism 24.
  • individand 13 are equipped with separate infeed conduits or lines, such as shown schematically in FIG. 1 by reference numeral 40, and discharge lines or conduits, as indicated by reference character 50, for the treatment medium. Then, it is possible to subject a textile web within the container to different successive treatments, in that the individual compartments are filled with different treatment media. Furthermore, it is also completely possible to utilize, apart from a liquid medium, also a gaseous medium during such a mixed treatment operation.
  • the entire container as a pressure container so that it is possible to operate with fluid medium temperatures exceeding C.
  • the container outer wall 1, the container inner wall 2 and the intermediate walls 4, 5, 6 and 7, have been arranged geometrically similar and concentrically with respect to one another.
  • the exemplary embodiment disclosed herein is given purely for illustrative purposes, and in no way is to be interpreted in a limiting sense, since for purposes of achieving the most advantageous manufacture of this structure, there has intentionally been selected the circular-shaped type cross-sectional configuration. But, instead of using the circular-type cross-sectional configuration, it would also be possible to select for the aforementioned wall members also oval and square or rectangular shapes, which have geometrically similar cross-sectional configurations.
