Abstract: A method and apparatus for applying a pattern to a continuously advancing web with a foam containing treatment medium. The pattern may be generated in the foam prior to or after the foam is transferred to the web. In one embodiment, the pattern is generated using two foam feeding devices arranged to form a patterned layer on a revolving element positioned over the web. The forward velocity of the web and the speed of rotation of the revolving element are controlled to obtain the desired pattern effect on the web.

Abstract: Apparatus for applying foam onto continuously advancing webs of material in which several nozzles are provided which are connected to a foam distributor which comprises a chamber with foam outlets as well as a distribution rotor which rotates in the chamber and is in communication with a foam feed line directing the foam from the inside toward the foam outlets.

Abstract: In a device for the storage and reaction treatment of textile material in web form for continuous passage which includes a cylinder, a transporting device for transporting the textile material onto the surface of the cylinder in the circumferential direction thereof, a pleating device for pleating the textile material in several layers with folds parallel to the axis of the cylinder onto the top of the cylinder, a depositing device arranged underneath the cylinder, and a pulling off device for pulling the textile material off at a point following the lower crest of the cylinder in the travel direction, dissolving the folded layers, the velocities of the transporting device and the pleating device and the stroke of the pleating device are controlled such that the folded layers extend at least one-third on both sides of the upper crests of the cylinder and that the length of a folded layer from one fold to another fold is one-quarter to one-half of the cylinder circumference, and that the folded layers cover ea

Abstract: In a device for applying designs to advancing webs, particularly textile and similar webs, in which the design liquid is present, prior to application to the web, in the form of a film extending over the web in the width direction an air nozzle in the form of a tube extending across the web close to the film, the tube supported for rotation and for movement back and forth across the web, the tube having a plurality air outlet openings distributed over its surface, and supplied compressed air feed line is used to irregularize the film.
