I Application filed $eptember 15, 1902. Serial No. 128,539. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MAX HAAS, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary,and a resident of 23 Wettinerstrasse,lAue, in the Kingdom of Saxony, German Empire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements ,in Apparatus for Treating Textile Fabrio.S,.0f which the following is an exact specification.

My invention relates to improvements in: apparatus for boiling,'bleaching, and dyeing vegetable or animal fibrous fabrics-as wool,

cotton, or the like-and has especially for apparatus for the dye, and it is a great disadvantage that in consequence hereof the fabrics cannot be easily brought into the appa-. ratus. In order to avoid this disadvantage, I provide my invention, which consists in connecting the distributing devices removably with the feed-pipe in that way that the distributing devices can be brought into the vessel simultaneously with the fabrics to be treated. v

In order to make my invention more clear, I refer to the accompanying drawings, in which several modifications of myapparatus are shown, and in which Figure 1 shows a vertical section of the apparatus. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the same. Figs.'3, 4, and 5 are horizontal sections of modified constructions.

The dividing up of the dye in the vessel e-z'. e., in the textile fabrics situated within this vesselis effected by means of removable perforated pipes, hollow perforated plates, or other perforated hollow bodies, which are brought into the vessel simultaneously with the fabrics to be treated and which are connected with a suitable feeding device for the dye.

In the constructions shown in Figs. 1 and 2 perforated straight or curved pipes y are re movably connected to the feed-pipe m for the dye, which feed-pipe is arranged in the center of the vessel. The distributing-pipes y lead the dye from the pipe at through the whole fabrics situated within'the vessel.

The fabrics are brought into the apparatus in the following manner; The feed-pipe a, which in the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is divided by means of partitions in .four parts a b 0 cl, is provided with longitudinal slots, into which the pipes y can be shifted from above. Advantageously the .pipes are pressed somewhat together at the end which is brought into the slot, and this end is provided with flangesin order to fit the same exactly into the slots of the pipe 00. If the vessel shall be filled, at first the layer of thefabrics to be treated is laid upon the perforated bottom 2 of the vessel. Hereafter a set of distributing-pipes is brought upon the same by shifting the same from above through the slots of the pipe 00. Hereafter a larger layer of fabrics is brought in again, then again a set of distributing-pipes, and so on until-the vessel is perfectly filled. The feed-pipe m must naturally be connected to a supply-pipe for the dye. In the example shown in the drawings this connection is offected by fixing the feed-pipe a: in the perforated bottom zof the apparatus, so that the dyefentering through the feed-pipe f, is divided up inthe chamber w underneath the perforated bottom-and flows partly through the perforations in this bottom a and partly through the feed-pipe a: and the distributingpipes y into the vessel, whereby it is attained that the dye is very quickly divided up in the whole. vessel, so that the fabrics situated within the same are all equally treated. Also in boiling the fabrics the pipes have a great advantage, consisting in effecting a quick circulation of the whole dyers bath by the dye entering into the pipes and flowing to the bottom, then rising again, and so on. The feeding device for feeding the dye to the distributing-pipe may be modified in different ways, so, for instance, the central pipe need not be divided in several parts.

In the construction shown-inFig. 3 the dye is'brought into the vessel through pipes 00, arranged at the wall of the vessel, which pipes are provided with slots in the manner described above, which slots take up the ends of the pipes 11 In the modification shown in Fig. 4 hollow perforated plates y are arranged instead of the perforated pipes.

In the modification shown in Fig. 5 the walls of the vessel are hollow, and the dye is fed into the hollow space 9 between the walls. The distributing-pipes y are in this construction guided in slots connecting the space 9 with the interior of the vessel.

Having thus fully described the nature of this invention, what I desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is 1. In an apparatus for treating textile fabrics, the combination of a vessel, distributing devices situated within this vessel, a feedpipe for the dye, slots provided in the feedpipe and means for connecting the distributing devices to the feed-pipe, said means allowing the distributing devices to be shifted along the feed-pipe substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

2. In an apparatus for treating textile fabrics, the combination of a vessel, distributingpipes situated within this vessel, a feed-pipe for the dye, said feed-pipe being provided with slots, and means for connecting thedis-v tributing-pipes to the feed-pipe, said means consisting of flanges fixed to the ends of the distributing-pipes, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

3. In an apparatus for treating textile fabrics, the combination of a vessel, distributingpipes situated within this vessel, feed-pipes for the dye, slots provided in the feed-pipes, and means for connecting the distributingpipes to the feed-pipes, said means consisting of flanges fixed to the end of the distributingpipes, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

MAX IIAAS.
