Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A machine for finishing textile material. and more par ticularly a machine for the finishing of open knitted fabrics, which includes a vaporizing device. a heatfixing device. a calendering device. a heat-printing device and a decatizing device. all arranged in series.
  • This invention relates to a new machine for finishing textile material, and more particularly a machine for the finishing of open knitted fabric, which includes a vaporizing device, a heatfixing device, a calendering device, a heat-printing device and a decatizing device, all arranged in series.
  • finishing or dressing of textile material constitutes the last manufacturing stage of textiles prior to the manufacture thereof into articles of apparel.
  • Said finishing treatment which includes several operations of both mechanical and chemical nature, serves to improve the appearance of textiles and to increase the value of the garments obtained therefrom.
  • the calendering process is carried out on open fabric with unquestionable advantages of both a functional and aesthetical character for the textile itself.
  • the fabric could be damaged by the radiations due to the thermic inertia of the hood or reflector under which the fabric undergoes the treatment.
  • the machine of this invention is further provided with a belt, consisting of polyester fibres, driven between two drums.
  • Said belt means supports the fabric to be handled, which is driven by means of two side chains so as to pass through a vaporizing zone and subsequently under one or more batteries of infra-red ray lamps.
  • the aforementioned belt supports the fabric and avoids dangerous dimensional tensions, provoked by increased fabric weight due to moisture absorption during the vaporizing stage.
  • the fabric guided by extractor rollers, passes about a calendering cylinder and then a decatizing cylinder.
  • the calendering cylinder may reach a sufficient temperature to ensure a heat-printing of the fabric handled through a sublimation technique.
  • the fabric after leaving the decatizing cylinder, is fed to a folding or rolling up device, by which it is suitably folded or rolled up.
  • FIG. I shows in a perspective view the machine according to this invention, from the fabric introduction side
  • FIG. 2 represents the same machine as above in a longitudinal section
  • FIG. 3 shows a top view of the contol panel and fabric feed attachments fitted to the machine of this invention
  • FIG; 4 is a perspective view of the hood receiving the infra-red ray lamps, in open position;
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the portion of the machine in which the vaporizing and heat-fixing operations of the fabric are carried out;
  • FIG, 6 shows the same portion as above of the machine in a side view, with particular reference to the vapour sucking devices
  • FIG. 7 is a detailed perspective view of the portion of the machine in which the fabric goes to the calendering device
  • FIG. 8 shows the suction device connected to the drying and decatizing roller
  • FIG. 9 is a perspective side view of a detail of the calendering and drying rollers.
  • FIG. 10 shows in a perspective view the fabric folding device
  • FIG. II is a schematic side view illustrating a heatprinting arrangement
  • Said fabric is conveyed into the instant machine by a pair of feed rollers 3, after it has been caused to pass about the guide roller 55 and through a pair of widening rollers 20, consisting of threaded cylindrical bars.
  • the working plane of the machine is delimited by two parallel side-members 56, at the initial portion of which there is located a selvedge unrolling device 4.
  • an endless belt conveyor 8 consisting of undeformable polyester fibers resisting high temperatures, is moved by a pair of rotating drums 59 and 59.
  • the feed speed of the fabric 2, controlled by the overfeeder 5 is maintained conveniently higher than the translation speed of the two chains 7, so that the fabric cannot be subjected to harmful longitudinal tensions, especially when it is vapor impregnated and therefore increased in weight.
  • the aforementioned overfeed may be carried out in a differential manner with a variable speed on each fabric side to ensure the straightness of the weft or courses of the fabric by actuating the specially provided handwheels S4, placed on both sides of the machine.
  • the vaporizing apparatus includes an a tiltable hood 9 with a pneumatic lifting device controlled by the pushbutton 47 and a vapour connection 17, located underneath the belt conveyor 8, the vapour being blown into the fabric and then sucked in by the hood 9. More accurately, the vapour may be blown or insufflated through one of three different nozzles 42', 43' and 44' of different cross section, controlled respectively by the switches 42, 43 and 44, depending on the fabric type to be handled.
  • connection 16 for discharging condensates.
  • the hood 9 inside of which there are disposed suitable heat sources (not shown in the figure) in order to prevent possible vapour condensations on the fabric, is connected via a deflector 60 to a suction apparatus 61.
  • the fabric 2 passes then through one or more heatfixing zones, enclosed by hood 10, which may be turned by a pneumatic lifting device, actuated by a pushbutton 46.
  • hood 10 Inside said hood 10 (v. FIG. 4) there are placed a plurality of infra-red ray lamps 62 actuated by a switch 30, the operation of which is controlled by a thermostat abutting a thermometer 31.
  • the hood 10 is also connected via a deflector 63 and a connection duct 64 to the suction apparatus 61.
  • the heat-fixing of the fabric 2 is carried out while it passes underneath said hood 10.
  • the heat-fixed fabric is forwarded then via a pair of extractor rollers 11 and a guide roller 65 onto the calendering cylinder 12 on which it is forced to rotate under the action of another guide roller 66, disposed in the vicinity of and parallel of the roller 65.
  • the fabric is maintained in close contact with the calendering cylinder 12 by a felt 21, which is caused to slide over the rollers 65, 66, 67, 68', the roller 68 acting as a stretcher means.
  • the external surface of the calendering cylinder 12 is maintained at a uniform temperature by means of a series of oil-immersed electrical resistances 12a, which extend in the axial direction of the cylinder in the interior thereof.
  • the temperature of the cylinder is regulated by an electronic thermostat 26.
  • the machine of this invention permits heat-printing of the fabric by sublimation during its travel on the calendering cylinder 12.
  • the surface temperature, which may be taken up by said cylinder may in fact be such as to ensure the direct transfer of designs and decorations from suitably prepared paper rolls onto the fabric by sublimation of the dye.
  • the paper is wound on a member 75 (FIG. 11) and is guided over support rollers 77, be-
  • a cutting device consisting of a slider 79, which is transversely movable and hand actuated by means of the handle 80.
  • the aforesaid slider 79 supports a cutting disc 81, which by cooperating with a cross bar 78 permits the paper to be cut when the fabric to be printed terminates.
  • the paper sheet adapted to ensure the heat-printing by sublimation, after passing between said rollers 77 is driven by the cylinder 12 after being guided over the cylinder 82.
  • the latter performs a compensating action as it is spring suspended at both ends and avoids thereby a defective introduction of the paper between the fabric 2 and the surface of the cylinder 12.
  • the cylinder 82 rotates about two small side blocks 83 which may each slide in a guide 84 so as to describe an alternating rectilinear vertical motion.
  • the side blocks 83 are balanced by compensating springs 85, which are regulated by the handwheels 86.
  • the machine of this invention is completed from an operating standpoint with a decatizing cylinder 13, which is connected via a duct 69 to a suction device (v. FIG. 8).
  • the fabric passes on said cylinder and is maintained in compressed condition by a felt 21', guided by a series of rollers 71 and a felt tensioning roller 72. During its passage on the latter cylinder 13, the fabric 2 is subjected continuously to a decatizing and complete drying process.
  • the drive is delivered to the different component parts of the instant machine by a main speed change unit 15, a speed reducer l8, actuating the fabric feed cylinders and a change unit 19, controlling the parallel shifting of the chains 7 via the pushbuttons 40 or the feelers, connected on the lower portion to the automatic adjustment boxes, which feelers are actuated by the switch 41.
