  • Patent number: 11236451
    Abstract: Reel for fabric treating machines, said reel comprising: a substantially cylindrical main body (110) having a side surface (111), a first axial end (112) and a second axial end (113); first and second flanges (114, 115), respectively mounted to the first and second axial ends (112, 113) of said main body (110); at least one drag element (120) mounted, in the operating position, externally to said side surface (111), at least one constraining device (130), associated with said drag element (120) to hold said drag element (120) in said operating position. The constraining device (130) can be switched between a first condition, in which it holds said drag element (120) in said operating position, and a second operating condition, in which it allows said respective drag element (120) to be removed.

  • Patent number: 10773530
    Abstract: An oval printing machine includes a guide, defining a closed path (P); one or more supports, movable on the guide, the one or more supports being adapted to support items to be printed; one or more operating stations positioned along the path (P) for processing the items to be printed; at least one digital printing station positioned along the path (P), for printing the items supported by the one or more supports. The digital printing station includes a structure substantially integral with the guide, and a first printing element associated with the structure and movable relative to the structure. The printing element is movable in a first direction (D1) that is transversal to a second direction (D2) in which the guide extends at the digital printing station.

  • Publication number: 20190176499
    Abstract: A digital printing machine includes moving organs suitable for advancing a textile in a determined direction and a printing station. The printing station includes: a cross-beam extending lengthwise substantially orthogonal to the determined direction; a printing carriage having a frame and a printing device; a first moving apparatus adapted to move the printing carriage along the cross-beam; and a control unit associated with said printing device and substantially integral with the cross-beam, the control unit being configured to supply power to at least the first moving apparatus and control signals to the printing device. The control unit is connected to the printing carriage by way of an electrical connection to supply power to the first moving apparatus, and by way of an optical connection to supply the control signals to the printing device.
