Patent number: 4843669Abstract: The invention relates to the wet processing in particular of knitted tubular material in the broad tubular state which in a first processing section is led through a fluid bath then inflated to form a balloon section and afterwards led in the broad tubular state through the gap between a pair of squeezer rollers. Within the fluid bath the incoming material in hank form is subjected to twist sensing and if any twist is detected the incoming tubular material is rotated in the region before the first processing section to undo the twist. The completely and stably relaxed and untwisted tubular material leaves this first processing section in a stable broad tubular state and can then be passed in an optimum manner through the succeeding principal processing sections.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 1987Date of Patent: July 4, 1989Assignee: Bruckner Apparatebau GmbHInventors: Werner Koch, Manfred Schuierer
-
Patent number: 4841605Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to apparatus for stretching tubular material by blowing in compressed air, in which the delivery speed and/or the removal speed of the tubular material are regulated.

Patent number: 4269047Abstract: A tube has a longitudinal slot extending over the entire working width of the apparatus, and at least one cover element is arranged on the side of the fabric web remote from the slotted tube. The cover element extends over the entire length of the slot, and also extends over a substantial portion of the path of the fabric web, immediately preceding the slot, and over another substantial portion of the path of the fabric web immediately following the slot. A guide surface for the fabric web is provided on the same side of the web as the slotted tube, which surface forms with the cover element a flow space for conducting the working fluid, which flow space extends from a point in the path of travel of the fabric web lying substantially ahead of the slot to a point in the path of the web lying substantially beyond the slot.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 1979Date of Patent: May 26, 1981Assignee: Bruckner ApparatebauInventor: Manfred Schuierer
