Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for cutting synthetic fiber yarns into staple fibers, for which purpose the yarn is wound several times around a knife cage and rests on blades oriented radially outwardly with their cutting edges and is urged from the outside radially inwardly against these blades by means of a contact roller. The blades are held in two blade-supporting disks arranged at a mutual spacing in superimposed relationship. In order to guide the cut staple fibers radially inwardly behind the blades, and for connecting the two blade-supporting disks with each other, approximately radially oriented partitions are provided directly adjoining several of the backs of the knives, these partitions extending at least in part over the height of the knife cage along the staple fiber discharge chamber in the center of the knife cage.

Abstract: A device for drying textile material has a closed housing accommodating a conveying means comprising a sieve drum that is under a suction draft and that is covered to prevent flowthrough of gases in the zone not contacted by the textile material; a fan associated with an end face of the sieve drum for withdrawing the gaseous treatment medium from the sieve drum and for blowing the gaseous treatment medium back into a space around the sieve drum; and an annular gap provided between a fan intake connection, or duct, and a wall provided with the drum spider for supporting the sieve drum. The gap is surrounded by an annular duct open toward the gap into which terminates burners of a direct flame heating unit for heating said gaseous treatment medium.

Abstract: According to the disclosed process, an endless fibrous material to be cut is wound in spiral form onto a rotatable cutter roll having radially outwardly oriented knives. A cutting force acts from the outside of the cutter roll radially inwardly, by way of a pressure roller contacting the wound material, for cutting, for example, synthetic fibers. In the process, at least two cutting forces are effective against the axis of the cutter roll, these forces being directed against each other. In the apparatus for conducting the process, two pressure rollers are articulated to each other by way of a double rocket arm. Consequently, the optimum cutting level, which will be different in individual cases, is automatically set. The effective cutting force for each roller is of equal strength.

Abstract: A cutting apparatus consists of two cutter cages arranged in direct superposition, with radially outwardly oriented cutters onto which a textile material to be cut is wound in spiral shape and is cut by a pressure roller effective from the outside radially inwardly. The two cutter cages are constituted by cutter supporting disks attached to a spoked wheel; these disks carry cutters which simultaneously equip the upper and lower cutter cages. By using such an apparatus, it is possible to cut simultaneously two continuous strands with only a single device. It is also possible to arrange more than only two cutter cages in superposition at one apparatus.

Abstract: The length of material, provided uniformly over the operating width with a liquid mixed with frothing chemicals, is to be massaged on the pile side for producing the froth and/or for the complete wetting of all pile fibers. A reel or a similar device exhibiting round bars uniformly distributed over its circumference and partially encompassed by the material serves for this purpose. The length of material is in contact under tension with the rotating reel. On the rear side, the material is urged against the reel by means of an air-impermeable hugger belt, held under tension, or by means of a wearproof pressure shell.

Abstract: An improved process for the continuous dyeing of lengths of textile material that at least partly contain cellulose fibers by the Pad-Steam process wherein the textile material onto which dyestuff has been applied is impregnated with chemical reducing agents including an alkaline solution, is then transported into a steamer for dyestuff-fixation by steaming thereon, is then after-treated by the sequential steps of rinsing with a liquor to remove the reducing agents, oxidizing the dyestuff with a liquor, and soaping and again rinsing the material with a liquor, and then finally drying the material. The improvement in the process comprises effecting the after-treatment steps, at least partially, by forcing the appropriate liquors through the material, especially on the perforated surface of a suction drum.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process for the continuous pad-dyeing or printing of continuous synthetic filament groups with dyestuffs which are set under the influence of heat. More particularly, the present disclosure is directed to a process for the continuous pad-dyeing of synthetic filament groups wherein a heated treatment medium, for example air, is passed through the filament groups which have been printed or padded with the preparations containing the dyestuffs. By drawing heated air through the material being treated a completely uniform drying of the filament groups and also a uniform dyestuff setting is obtained and a migration of the dyestuffs is substantially avoided.
