  • Patent number: 4974341
    Abstract: An apparatus for the dry treatment of a fabric in which the fabric passes repeatedly from a first chamber to a second chamber and back again through a passage in which air is blown in the appropriate direction. Within each chamber facing the port of the passage, there is a fabric receiving device which allows the air therethrough and receives the fabric without retaining it, whereby the fabric is piled in orderly fashion on a platform of the corresponding chamber. The device avoids irregular piling and entanglement of the fabric in the lengthwise direction. Adjustment of the control means of access of the air to the passage opposes a main current to a secondary current of air, producing compacting of the fabric.

  • Patent number: 4773169
    Abstract: A machine for the continuous centrifugation of fabrics, comprising: a hauling means for the fabric formed by two endless bands having respective facing runs and an orbitting central block in which there are situated guide means for the bands, such that the latter follow cylindrical orbital paths during the passage thereof through the central block and conical orbital paths from the central block to the infeed and delivery ends of the machine. The orbital movement of the central block causes effective centrifugation of the fabric hauled by the bands, without causing therein harmful pulls or stresses.

  • Patent number: 4679333
    Abstract: An apparatus for the dry treatment of a fabric in which an open width fabric is caused to move alternately between an inlet pile and an outlet pile through a duct in which there are currents of air of an appropriate temperature causing the said alternate movements. The fabric is supplied gradually to the inlet pile and is gradually withdrawn from the outlet pile. The apparatus comprises chambers for the said piles and blower and heating means for the air currents.
