Definitions

  • This type of patterning has further achieved significance in other fabrics, as for example is substantially nonrepetitive over a distance of the textile sufficient to make the pattern appear random to the human eye.
  • a grid means is positioned between the dye dispensing means and the textile. The grid means may also be oscillated to further randomize the appearance of the dye pattern.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide novel means for dyeing textiles which may, in part, utilize devices set forth in said pending patent application, the
  • Another of the processes contained in the prior art includes the spraying of a single color onto the carpet by means of a pressurized jet or discharge nozzle.
  • a mixture of gas is included with the liquid causing the dispersion of minute droplets conically toward the material under treatment.
  • Such a process is limited in that it may only be utilized in a single color dyeing operation.
  • pressurized discharge nozzles have been disposed over the entire width of the carpet under treatment. with adjacently spaced rows of nozzles being offset from one another. Circuit schemes mustbe provided to facilitate the switching on and off of individual or multitudes of rows of nozzles to achieve a random and nonrepetitive type of pattern.
  • This process has achieved a limited degree of success in that it is possible to achieve the desired random pattern.
  • the system has proven costly and subject to failures by means of clogging and coagulation in the nozzles.
  • a primary object of the invention is to provide for a simplified method and apparatus for imparting a dye pattern onto a textile type material which presents a substantially random appearance as desired.
  • This invention is directed to a mechanism for the continuous dyeing of textile webs, such as pile carpeting, preferably those with a solid base color.
  • the same or different colors are applied to the carpet without a prominent regularity of design.
  • the dye is applied to the topside or pile side of a continuously moving length of the fabric by liquid dye streams which are formed on a doctor blade having channels or grooves thereon.
  • the doctor blade which is subjected to an oscillatory motion, provides a veil of streams of dye positioned along a line perpendicular to the direction of the movement of the fabric.
  • the falling streams of dye are interrupted by wire members which follow a revolving path through the dye streams. A portion of the interrupted dye streams falls directly upon the carpet. and the remainder falls upon the teeth of a comb-like device from which the dye drips onto the textile.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates schematically an example of the invention in a perspective rendering.
  • the pile material textile l which is to be dyed with a pattern, has been previously pad-dyed a solid color and the dye has been pressed out.
  • the arrow 2 denotes the forward direction of the textile.
  • the dye discharger which has been marked 20 in its entirety is being underrun by the textile l with its pile turned toward the direction of the oncoming dye.
  • a rotating roller 21 dips into a trough 22 which is filled with liquid dye.
  • the direction of :rotationof the roller 21 is indicated by an arrow 23.
  • the drive mechanism for the roller is not illustrated.
  • Conventional rotating drive means may be provided, for example, the axis of the roller may be connected through a V-belt to an electric motor.
  • the drive speed of the electric motor can be adjustable to control the amount of liquid taken up by the roller.
  • the top edge of a doctor blade 27 is in contiguous engagement with roller 21 and removes the dye film from the surface of the roller.
  • the doctor is inclined downwardly as illustrated.
  • the doctor is preferably not at a steep angle with respect to the horizontal plane so that the film of dye does not flow too rapidly from the doctor.
  • the dye liquid flows across the doctor and is separated into individual streams upon contact with the molded members 19.
  • the molded members 19 are of triangular shape and protrude from the face of the doctor. These members terminate at the lower edge of the doctor and form channels 31 which are open at the top.
  • the doctor is adapted to be moved in an oscillatory motion, as indicated by double arrow 80.
  • the device for moving the doctor is illustrated by drive shaft 24 and drive means 25. The details of such device may be of conventional construction or may be the same as illustrated in copending patent application Ser. No. 831,297.
  • the dye liquid streams 81 during their descent tend toward forming drops.
  • This separating process into drops is further induced and controlled by the slowly revolving band or ribbon member 82 with its wire webs 83, which cut the liquid dye streams.
  • the direction of rotation of the band member is marked 84.
  • the band member is arranged in a plane perpendicular to the dye liquid streams or in a plane parallel to the fabric length.
  • the rollers 85 carrying the band member are driven by conventional means such as an electric motor.
  • the distance of the webs 83 from one another is a fractional integer of the distance between the liquid dye streams from one another.
  • the webs, in the illustrated example are parallel to the directional axis of the movement of the textile.
  • the band member Underneath the band member is a comb 86 with teeth 87.
  • the teeth are positioned in the path of the liquid dye between the webs of the band member and the textile.
  • the wire strength or thickness of the comb teeth may be the same or may be different from the wire strength of the webs on the band member.
  • the ends 89 of the comb teeth are bent and rounded in an upward motion.
  • the teeth 87 form accumulation areas for the dye liquid and the liquid precipitates in enlarged drops after efficient collection thereon.
  • the comb may be moved into or out of the path of the liquid dye.
  • the position of the angle of the teeth is adjustable with respect to he plane of said textile, by means of rotatable drive shaft 90 and drive means 91.
  • a strainer-like band member 81 has webs 83, preferably made from wire and having a circular transverse section. The band member circulates slowly and with a regular speed in an endless loop, cutting across the path of the dye liquid. The band member preferably revolves with a velocity of approximately 0.5 m/min.
  • the web members substantially determine the resulting formation of the drops which fall from a height of 30 to 60 cm, by splitting the dye stream. A regularity of the formation of drops is achieved due to the low velocity of the webs which do not force the dye streams apart or cause splashing.
  • the webs on the band are arranged generally parallel to the length of material or perpendicularly in reference to the liquid dye streams so that they have a dividing effect and form no, or almost no accumulations.
  • the distance between the strainer webs preferably forms an integral partial size of the distance between the liquid dye streams. This has the advantage that the webs always cut the liquid dye stream at the same time. Therefore, for instance, if the stream separation distance is 22 mm the distance between the webs is ll mm. Stated otherwise the ratio of the distance between webs to the distance between the channels is one to an integer. Alternatively if said distances between the webs is not a fractionalintegral of the stream separation, the random nature of the dye pattern may be altered.
  • the webs which are arranged in a plane perpendicular to the dye streams form a plane parallel to that of the fabric.
  • the ribbon member circulates in an endless loop underneath the doctor.
  • an arrangement is also possible, whereby only the lower strand of the ribbon member cuts through the liquid streams and the upper strand is positioned above the discharge point of the dye streams.
  • a comb With its teeth reaching into the dripping path of the dye liquid.
  • the teeth form accumulation places for thedrops which fall thereupon and the drops only precipitate onto the fabric after having reached a certain size.
  • the teeth of the comb are aligned in the same direction as the webs on the band member.
  • the number of teeth is a multiple of the number of falling streams.
  • the device illustrated can be operated with or without said comb.
  • the comb teeth be movable at different angles to the fabric, so that the teeth are more or less set at an incline to the fabric, or are arranged in a parallel position to the fabric length. In this manner the enlargement of the drops may be controlled, which results in further influencing the design possibilities.
  • the wire size of the comb teeth may be different from the wire size of the webs. Identical sizes are also possible. It is advantageous to bend the ends of the discharging teeth so that they are rounded off upwardly, which will facilitate a vertical precipitation onto the fabric chute.
  • means to divide said streams which includes a bandmember adapted to support webs afiixed thereto which are approximately parallel to the direction of movement of said textile, said band member adapted to circulate in an endless loop perpendicular to the direction of movement of said textile, and wherein said webs are positioned to pass through said dye streams.
  • the device of claim 1 comprising a doctor blade with a series of channels thereon, which lead to the formation of said liquid dye streams and means to impart an oscillatory motion to said doctor blade 3.
  • the device of claim 2 wherein the distance between said webs is a fractional integer of the distance between said channels.
  • said band member comprises two loop members positioned on opposite sides of a plane through said dye streams and said web members are supported at each end thereof by one of said loop members.
