Abstract: In a spiral steamer, the deflecting rollers are arranged in the lower areas of the individual windings of the spiral in such a way that the fabric web approximately follows a chain line.

Abstract: An apparatus for liquid treatment of a textile web having at least one driven winding roller, onto which the textile web can be wound, and a basin located below the winding roller and extending over its length, which can be filled with treatment liquid, in which at least one deflection roller for the textile web is arranged. A guide roller which extends parallel to the axis of the winding roller over the width of the textile web, and rests against the fabric roll which forms on the winding roller, from the bottom, is provided, and has openings on its otherwise cylindrical circumference, which are arranged so as to avoid zones without openings which run in the circumference direction, and are uniformly distributed over the circumference.

Abstract: A device for removing moisture from a continuously advancing textile web by suction. A suction slit which reaches crosswise across the textile web is provided, which is delimited on one side by a slide surface, on the other side by a roll. On the side facing the roll, the slide crosspiece has a concave recess, into which the roll partly fits. At its edge, facing the roll, the slide crosspiece forms a tongue-like projection, which extends over the top of the roll, almost to the vertex of the roll.

Abstract: A device to wind and unwind a textile web onto and from a spool, when it comes into or out of a wet-processing group is disclosed. The device includes a guide and tension roll supported at the free ends of winding arms and resting on the spool. A moisture-extraction device in the form of a suction pipe is mounted immediately upstream of the guide and tension roll. The web may thus be wound onto the spool with a relatively low moisture content.

Abstract: The small finishing installation (100) for continuous strips of textile fabric includes a steam-filled housing (2) into which feed rolls (5) can be introduced at each end. Located in the housing are sets of fabric-handling equipment disposed symmetrically with respect to the vertical plane (40) running across the middle of the housing (2). Disposed in this vertical plane (40) is a squeezer unit (37) from which the strip of fabric can pass, against each feed roll (5), through a treatment bath (30) and then over an array (20) of guide rollers disposed above an open tank (26). The continuous strip of fabric (10) can be wound back and forth between the feed rolls (5), thus making it possible to carry out a variety of different treatments.

Abstract: A textile treatment unit comprises a belt conveyor which operates continuously, with a conveyor section, on which textile material is transported in folds. The upper side of the belt, with the folds located on it, passes over a local height deviation in the conveyor section, in the form of an elevation formed by a roller arranged below it, causing the folds to be loosened.

Abstract: A treatment device (100) for a textile web (1) comprises a drum (20), rotatable in a container (2) with a treatment liquid (4), around which the web (1) is wrapped. The ends of the drum (20) are supported on bearing plates (10) arranged near the fronts of the container (2). The bearing plates (10) are supported at the upper end on an eccentric (6), opposite the lower end of which there is a torque support (9). As the eccentric rotates, the bearing plates (10) with the drum (20) and the web (1) wrapped around it are caused to oscillate in the treatment liquid (4).

Abstract: A widening device for increasing the width of a moving web of material comprises a rotatable profiled roller, the outer surface of which defines a plurality of radial projections and recesses distributed along the length of the roller and first and second co-operating rollers rotatable at the same speed as the profiled roller. The first and second co-operating rollers define projections and recesses complementary to those of profiled roller and define first and second treatment nips which serve to increase the width of a web of material passed therethrough. The projections on the co-operating roller defining the second treatment nip extend more deeply into the recesses of the profiled roller than do the projections on the co-operating roller which defines the first treatment nip so that the web of material is stretched gradually over two stages with the stretching effect being uniform across the entire width of the web.

Abstract: A device for continuously treating a textile fabric web comprises at least one application devices for applying one or more treatment liquors to the fabric web. After applying the liquors, the fabric web exhibits a total moisture content in the range of 100 to 220% of the weight of the dry fabric. The fabric web with the moisture is fed into a tower-like heating zone of an ager, in which the fabric web is guided over a path consisting of a plurality of horizontal loops.

Abstract: Described is a drain board (100) for a device for applying a liquid film to a web (8) of textile material. The drain board (100) comprises a support (1), on which a strip (10), which constitutes the draining surface (A) and is made of planar material is held flat, for example by magnets (3), by means of a vacuum or by a contact adhesive. The liquid is poured out at point (4) on to the draining surface (A); it flows down and falls off the lower edge (6) of the strip (10) in a falling film (7) or veil on to the fabric web (8). As a result of the magnetic retention, the strip cannot be replaced (FIG. 1).

Abstract: An apparatus for applying a treatment fluid, such as dye, onto an advancing web of material has a run-off surface sloping down toward the web that extends above and over the width of the web. The dye flows onto the web from the lower edge of the run-off surface. The dye is applied onto an upper zone of the run-off surface from individual nozzles, which are a constituent part of nozzle combs that are pivotable about a transverse axis between a first position disposed above the run-off surface and a second position over a run-off gutter.

Abstract: An apparatus for applying a treatment fluid on a web of material includes a run-off surface extending transversely over a web to be treated. The run-off surface slopes down obliquely onto the web and has an upper portion upon which treatment fluid applied thereto flows down over the run-off surface onto the web via the lower edge thereof. A flow homogenizing baffle is provided on the run-off surface. The baffle is formed from closely spaced deflection elements that even out any irregularities that exist in the fluid film flowing over the upper portion of the run-off surface.

Abstract: A jig has two winding rolls in two troughs which surround the winding rolls concentrically and contain treatment liquor, and a squeezing device for a web of material passing from the one to the other winding roll arranged between the winding rolls. The squeezing device is arranged high enough that the web of material runs from the squeezing device downward toward both sides. A partition extends upward between the troughs up to the squeezing device.

Abstract: A gas burner includes a burner tube which has on one side a row of burner nozzles aimed against a surface to be heated. In the interior of the burner tube, at least one slider is arranged which can be moved from outside the burner tube along the tube and by means of which the end burners of the row of burner nozzles can be shut off from the gas supply which is supplied the center of the burner tube, so that the row of the burner nozzles can be adapted to the width of the surface to be heated, e.g., to the width of a web when the burner tube is used to heat a hollow roll used to treat a web.

Abstract: Apparatus for treating textile webs in a treatment fluid such that the material lingers in the treatment fluid for a period of time, in which a support bottom in the form of a trough extending transverse to the textile web and a swinging or oscillating member, having the same curvature as the trough, freely suspended at an eccentric and rotated about an axis parallel to the trough with the direction of the rotation the same as that of the travel direction of the textile web through the trough, form a channel at the beginning of which the textile web is placed in transversal folds and at the end of which the web is drawn off, all of the channel being situated below the fluid level thereby resulting in an improved rinsing action as the web is moved through the channel with the oscillating member aiding in both the rinsing action and in moving the web of material through the channel.
