Abstract: A diaper retaining enclosure within which a soiled diaper may be retained while being rinsed. includes a generally planar base having parallel edges to which a pair of suitable hinges are secured. A pair of doors comprising generally planar flaps are secured to the hinges and are thus pivotable between an open position exposing the base and a closed “tented” position. The tented position is achieved by having the edges of the doors meet some distance away from the base in the closed position and thereby form a channel extending downwardly above the base and behind the doors. A clip is secured to the upper edge of the base and is configured to be spring-biased to a closed position. The resulting channel formed by the doors in the tented position is open at its top and bottom.

Abstract: The machine (1) for the treatment of fabrics according to the invention comprises a treatment tank (3) arranged for containing the fabric or other material to be treated (TC) and a treatment liquid. The head losses that the treatment liquid undergoes along the different collecting ducts (37A, 37B) between the treatment tank (3) and the relative entry nozzle (370A, 370B) in the collector (39) mutually differ at most of ±10% of the losses themselves. The head losses that the treatment liquid undergoes between each entry nozzle (370A, 370B) in the collector (39) and the entry (410) in the chamber (41) of the pump impeller differ at most of ±10% between the various entry nozzles (370A, 370B). The level of liquid on the bottom of the tank (3) is more even, and it is thus possible to make the machine (30) work with very low bath levels.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for dyeing textile articles in which the articles are confined in bulk but in orderly fashion in a dyebath up to a level therein, the dyebath is loaded with dye liquor to cover the articles and the liquor is circulated through forceful sprays directed towards the articles from above said level.

Abstract: A dyeing apparatus for dyeing or otherwise treating an elongate fabric material includes a cylindrical vessel and a beam mounted concentrically therein and removable therefrom the beam having a plurality of chambers isolated one from another and a dye frame unit rotatably mounted on a driven shaft extending axially through the beam, a first motor rotating the driven shaft and a second motor operatively associated with a mechanism for moving the driven shaft axially toward and away from the first motor, and away from the driven shaft to adjust the overall diameter of the dye frame unit on which the fabric material is wound.

Abstract: A dyeing apparatus is disclosed for dyeing different forms of textile material with different colors, the apparatus comprising a non-perforated cylindrical beam having a plurality of partitions defining therebetween dye chambers each containing a different color dye liquor and a plurality of winding frames extending between the partitions axially of the beam and connected rotatably with a rotary shaft driven by a motor. Adjacent chambers are isolated from one another and each hermetically sealed except at an upper portion to which a gate member is pivotally connected. The beam is held stationary while the winding frames are in rotation with the rotary shaft.

Abstract: A method of treating textile materials and an equipment for carrying out this method are provided, notably for dyeing miscellaneous textile materials or articles, whether woven, knitted or unwoven, of synthetic, artificial or natural origin and of various configurations. The method comprises a sequence of steps consisting in disposing the textile material to be treated on a support matching the configuration of the textile material and having at least one inner cavity in its peripheral area as well as a pervious surface contiguous to the textile material; hot-impregnating the textile material to be treated by using a dyeing solution forced through the material from the back side to the right side thereof at a predetermined temperature, and rinsing the textile material by means of a rinsing liquid forced through the material from the back side to the right side thereof during a predetermined time and at a predetermined temperature.

Abstract: A machine for the continuous wet treatment of textile thread formations has two wet treatment stations each with a reel and three rotating rollers to take up a thread formation. A drive permits running either the reel or the rollers. A thread-laying device can be synchronized with the rotation of the reel by means of cog wheels. Each reel has a driven squeezing part. A drying station follows the wet stations with two thread take-up rollers and a spool station. The purpose of this machine is to treat, specifically to mercerize thread. The machine does not produce in excess nor does it produce substandard quality.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing randomly or space dyed skeins of yarn and which comprises an open vat adapted to be filled with a liquid dye bath, a rack for supporting a plurality of skeins, and means for selectively lifting the rack such that the rack and skeins may be translated between a fully lowered position in the dye bath and a plurality of raised positions.

Abstract: A yarn in the form of a supply package in which the yarn is wound on a bobbin is continuously washed with an aqueous washing liquid by standing the yarn supply package upright in means for receiving the yarn package and an aqueous washing liquid, and continuously drawing off the yarn upward from the package while bringing the aqueous washing liquid into contact with the outer surface of the package. The contact of the outer surface of the package with the washing liquid is effected by immersing the package in the washing liquid bath or by flowing the washing liquid down over the outer surface of the package.

Abstract: A method and means for multi-color dyeing textile yarn wherein yarn is present in perforate cylindrical cans for dyeing, with the yarn being in a maze of tortuously extending coils progressing axially within the can as occurs when yarn is collected in an upright can from a crimping or bulking operation. The cans are first positioned on movable J-shaped cradles with their cylindrical axes horizontal and are then immersed sequentially in a plurality of dye baths in which the cans are only partially immersed. Between immersions in sequential dye baths the cans are reoriented by rotating them about their cylindrical horizontal axes to cause dyeing of at least partially different portions of the maze of yarn in the cans in the different dye baths so that the resulting yarn strand, which extends randomly in the maze throughout differently dyed portions, will be unpredictably randomly dyed in different colors and lengths of color.
