APPARATUS FOR DYEING, 80C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 706,657, dated August12, 1902.

l Application filed October 28, 1901. Serial No. 80,278. (No model.) l

To aZZ whom t may concern.-

Be it known that we, EDWARD HINDLEY, SAMUEL WALKER, and MARSHALL Ross, sub jects of the King of Great Britain, and residents of Stockport, in the county of Chester, England, (whose post-officey address is Howard street, Stockport, Aaforesaid,) have invented new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Dyeing, Scouring, Bleaching, and

otherwise Treating Yarn in Cop or oth er Simii lar Compact Form, (for which we have made application for patent in Great Britain, No. 6,666, dated March 30, 1901,) of which the following is a-speciication.

Our invention relates to that class of apparatus for dyeing, scouring, bleaching, and otherwise treating yarn in cop or other similar compact form in which it is placed 'on hollow perforated tubes or skewers, by means of which latter and the assistance of suitable pump or pumps the yarn is impregnated withv dye or other suitable liquor byl drawing or forcing it through and ultimately extracting the superfluous liquor from the same; and the objects of our improvements are to provide means whereby the liquor can be alter-` nately drawn and forced through the cops in a vertical position by one pump without reversing the same and at any temperature of the liquor without a lid or cover on the Vessel in which the cops aretreated, thus insuring safety from accidents and providing a cheap, handy, and eective apparatus. We attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side view, partly in section; Fig. 2, a plan of our improved apparatus cornpleteand Fig. 3 a side view of the portable chambers or cop-carriers removed therefrom.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several Views.

In carrying out our invention and referring to the figures generally we employ in an open vessel da suitable number of oblong or square portable chambers husay two-in the top of which are a number of holes in which are placed the tubes or skewers c, which hold the cops vertically in position during the process of dyeing or bleaching, and which chambers thus form the cop-carriers. The top of each of the said chambers is furnished with two pillars t, adapted to receive a plate oZ, which serves to hold the spindle or skewers c in position on the said chambers when forcing the liquor through the cops. The said plates are secured to the said pillars by means of the handle-shaped nuts e, which also facilitate the lifting of the said chambers in and out of the said Vessel. The bottom of the said vessel and that of each of the said chambers are formed with `the male and female tube conuectionsf and g, respectively, the former receiving the latter, so as to permit of readily` placing the said chamber into the said Vessel and removingit therefrom and of drawing or forcing the liquor through the said chambers. To the said male connections is secured a pipe Zt., communicating with the suction and byabranch pipe c' with the delivery of a suitable pump 7e. Between the said "branch pipe and the suction of the said pump a three-way tap Z is employed and another, m, between the branch pipe il and the delivery of the said pump. The side of the vessel a is connected bythe pipe n with the tap m and the said pipe by a branch pipe o with the tap Z, while the bottom of the Vessel is furnished with a steam-inlet p and liquor-draw-oif cock q. The said pump and vessel are preferably secured to a common base-plate u.

The apparatus described operates as follows: When it is desired to draw the liquor through the cops, vthe three-way taps Z and m are so set (see respective handles Jr and s, drawn in full lines) that the liquor passes through the pipe h, tap Z, into the pump Zr, and by the latter is forced through tap m and pipe n back into theivesselco. (See arrows in full lines.)` When it is desired to force the liquor through the cops, the three-way taps Z and fmJ are so set (see respective handles r and s, shown in dotted lines) that the liquor is drawn from the Vessel a through pipe n, branch pipe o, tap Z, pump lc, tap fm,

-branch pipe il, and pipe h into the said chambers b. (See arrows in dotted lines.)

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isf- In apparatus for dyeing, scouring, bleach- IOO ing and otherwise treating yarn in cop or bined substantially as and for the purpose other similar compact form, a liquor vessel set forth. y having at the bottom and the side liquor con- In Witness whereof we have hereunto set (Iielctions, a pump having at the suction and our hands in presence of two witnesses.

e ivery respectively a three-way tap, a pipe between the former tap and the said bottom connections having a. branch leading to the kMARQHALL ROSE said tap at the delivery end and a pipe bek tween the latter tap and the said side connection having a branch leading to the said tap at the suctionvend of the said pump, all com- Witnesses:
