  • Apparatus for applying chemicals to textiles
    Patent number: 4534189
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for chemically treating textile goods. An applicator has a slot for discharge of the chemical. The slot communicates with a mixing chamber in which the treating chemical and a gas are swirled under the influence of the gas, admitted under pressure. The swirling creates a homogeneous mixture which is discharged at high velocity to pass into the textile goods. A surfactant may be added to the chemical so the homogeneous mixture will foam after the mixture is in the textile goods.
