  • Application of liquids to textiles
    Patent number: 4338876
    Abstract: The application of liquid to a moving fabric is effected by delivering same to a rotatable spinning disc which centrifugally impels the liquid against the fabric. This action overcomes surface tension causing the liquid droplets to break up into a fine mist so that a large area of fabric is wetted with an amount of liquid which is substantially less than the fabric weight. Also, the velocity imparted to the liquid droplets in mist forms enhances absorption of the liquid by the fabric.
