Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Process for the continuous production of irregular, optionally multicolor, design effects on flat structures, preferably on the basis of textile materials, especially of carpet material, by spreading a liquid dyestuff composition onto a substrate web to be dyed or colored, and then fixing the dyestuff applied according to usual methods, which comprises applying the dye liquor by means of flat or curved rotating disks arranged in horizontal position, which divide the dye liquor supplied continuously or in drops to their surfaces, owing to the centrifugal force imparted to it by the rotation of the disks, into individual drops of different size, which are then centrifuged from there owing to their weight under the influence of gravity and at a determined angle of spread, over the full width of the material web to be dyed or colored, which is horizontally passed beneath the disks, and device
  • PATENTED SEP 9 I975 sum 2 HF 1 PATENTEDSEP 1915 SHEET 3 [IF 4 PROCESS AND DEVICE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF IRREGULAR DESIGN EFFECTS ON FLAT STRUCTURES The present invention relates to a process and a device for the production of irregular design effects on flat structures.
  • German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,020,445 the dye liquors are applied under pressure onto the material to be dyed by means of nozzles at variable intervals.
  • the finely sprayed dye stuff is deposited on the goods, for example with the aid of an electrostatic field.
  • German Pat. Nos. 357,990 and 401,307 disclose methods that allow even multicolored designs to be obtained on fabrics or paper by simply pouring dye liquors continuously or in drops into the nippers joint of a padding machine, through which the substrate to be dyed is passed.
  • the principal line of the present invention is to feed a dye liquor, which is suitable for the type of substrate concerned and may even not contain any thickener, from storage vessels via valves serving as metering devices or other special metering elements continuously or dropwise onto one or generally more rotating disks arranged in horizontal position, to break this liquor by centrifugal force into drops of different size and then to spread these onto the material web to be dyed or colored, which is passed horizontally beneath the disks.
  • the rotational speed of the disks may match the viscosity of the dye liquor so that the size of the drops can be varied within certain limits by adapting these two factors to each other.
  • the angle of spread of the projected dyestuff solutions or dispersions may be modified by means of peripheral shutters which are arranged around the rotating disks and are adjustable in their positions. At the same time, excess dye liquor collected by means of this shutter may also be conveyed back to the dye spreading disks.
  • peripheral shutters which are arranged around the rotating disks and are adjustable in their positions. At the same time, excess dye liquor collected by means of this shutter may also be conveyed back to the dye spreading disks.
  • the interaction of dye liquor viscosity, impact angle and speed of the drops hitting the material as well as absorptivity of the material to be dyed or colored allows irregular designs of color spots of different shape and size to be obtained.
  • the process of the invention permits a simple production of similar dyeing effects as obtained according to the prior art method disclosed in German Offenlegungsschrift No. 1,760,657, without requiring too high a technical expenditure, such as several apparatus units being arranged in series in the case of multicolor effects.
  • it is sufficient to combine several dye spreading disks in one device and to feed to them individually dye liquors of different colors supplied from different storage tanks.
  • Multicolor designs may also be obtained by applying the dye liquor after or prior to dyeing or coloring a solid shade or to untreated material without a solid-shade coloration.
  • This invention also relates to a device for carrying out the novel process for applying the dye liquors to flat structures in the form of spots or strokes of different size with the aid of centrifugal force, which substantially consists of a closable casing in which a. at least one storage tank for the dyestuff composition, provided with a discharge tube to control the discharged amount optionally by means of a valve,
  • elements for the horizontal support and transport of the goods to be dyed or colored at open width through the treatment zone are arranged in the order (a), (b) and (c) independently of each other and one beneath the other, wherein the element (b) is a circular dye spreading disk which is installed in horizontal position and rotatable in any direction about its axis and which is partly surrounded at its periphery by adjustable boundary shutters.
  • the dye spreading disks may have a flat or conical, concave or convex shape. They may also be provided with superimposed guiding sheets (fins) which extend from the edge of the disk toward the center of the disk and which cause the dye liquor supplied to be further bro ken and distributed.
  • Each of the dye spreading plates is peripherally equipped with adjustable boundary shutters which serve to control a determined angle of spread for the dye liquor.
  • boundary shutters are connected to a collector, in which excess liquor is gathered and from which it is recycled to the corresponding storage tank.
  • the disks may, for example, be driven by means of a shaft and bevel gears within the suspension of the disks and of the collector in any sense of rotation.
  • the goods to be dyed or colored are transported by means of guiding rollers and a supporting sheet or sieve. The closed casing prevents further splashing of the dye liquor.
  • FIG. la shows a topview and FIGS. lb to 1d show three cross sections of possible shapes of the dye spreading disk;
  • FIGS. and 2b shows a topview and a cross section of a dye spreading disk for the distribution of the dye liquor and the back flow of the liquor;
  • FIGS. and 3b shows topviews on possible arrangements of the dye spreading disks
  • FIG. 4 shows a cross section of the whole device.

  • a device suitable for carrying out a continuous process for producing irregular design effects by applying dye liquor to flat structures in the form of spots or strokes of different size with the aid of centrifugal force which device consists of a closable casing in which a. at least one storage tank for the dye liquor, provided with a discharge tube to control the discharged amount,
  • elements for the horizontal support and transport of the material to be dyed or colored at open width through the treatment zone are arranged in the order (a), (b) and (c) independently of one another and one beneath the other, wherein the element (b) is a substantially horizontal circular dye spreading disc rotatable in either direction about its axis and partly surrounded at its periphery by adjustable boundary shutters or sheets.
  • a device as claimed in claim I wherein the surface of the dye spreading disk is provided with one or more superimposed fins for guiding the liquor, radiating from the center of the disc.
