Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Thread is treated continuously and effectively with a liquid by passing the thread through a passage of tunnel-like treating device which is arranged alone or in series along a thread passage between one pair of thread delivery rolls, which device comprises a pair of plates, each having on its mutually facing inner surface a plurality of protrusions and grooves, forming the passage therebetween and having one or more inlets for sending the liquid pressurizedly therethrough that are located on the back of the plate.
  • the treating liquid flows through the tunnel-like device, forming vortices in the grooves between the protrusions and thus the vortices contacting with thread accelerate treatment of the thread passing through the passage.
  • the process and apparatus for treating thread continuously and effectively may be applicable for mercerization, dyeing, scouring, or the like.
  • the present invention relates to a process for treating thread continuously and effectively, such as mercerization, scouring, dyeing or the like, and an apparatus used therefor.
  • the present invention has its object to provide a novel process for treating threads continuously at a high operation speed, to overcome afore-mentioned difficulties in the treatment of threads.
  • Another object of the present invention is provision of a continuous process for treating threads wherein many. ends of threads can be subjected simultaneously to a sufficient treatment at a high operation speed.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an improved method for preventing multi-thread bundle from interentanglement while processing, whereby facilitating the division of the bundle into individual threads when wound on bobbins after treatment.
  • Still further object of the present invention is to provide an improved apparatus which is suitable for effecting the abovementioned processes,
  • the apparatus of the present invention which comprises a tunnel-like treating device to pass threads continuously through.
  • One of the features of the invention is to subject threads to successive steps of treatment, for instance, wetting, washing, swelling with caustic, etc., using a seriesof the above-mentioned apparatuses of the present invention.
  • the present invention has another feature where, in subjecting many parallel ends of threads simultaneously to the above treatment, the band of multithread is divided into an adequate number of groups; adjacent groups are alternately shifted towards a direction perpendicular to a plane formed by the band of parallel threads and separated from each others, forming an opening transversely through the multi-thread band; then a lace or lease yarn having its both free ends is laid across the band through the said opening, to prevent interentanglement of threads; and the lace is finally removed after the completion of the treatment.
