Abstract: A transport cart for material carriers such as bobbins or drums having threads or other elongated material wound thereon, has a cart frame with wheels and a tilting frame journalled in said cart frame. The tilting frame carries two parallel skids for supporting a material carrier on its rollers. The tilting frame is tiltable between a first position in which the skids extend horizontally for loading a material carrier onto the cart, and a second position in which the skids extend vertically for unloading a material carrier, or vice versa.

Abstract: A cylindrical container (1) is horizontally arranged with its longitudinal axis. The container is subdivided by a flexible membrane (5) into a larger chamber (6) for holding textile material, preferably in a receptacle (3), and dyeing liquor, and a smaller chamber (7) for a pressurized gas. An excess pressure necessary for the high-temperature dyeing process is maintained in the smaller chamber (7) to compensate for changes in the liquor volume. These changes are temperature dependent. It is sufficient if the volume of the smaller chamber (7) is smaller than one-tenth the volume of the larger chamber (6).
