Abstract: An automatic washer of the present invention for automatically carrying out a series of steps of the washing operation comprises a rotary basket provided with a number of holes which permit liquid supplied to the basket to flow therethrough and holding the material to be washed throughout the washing operation, a tub fixed in a manner to surround the basket, and a spraying device mounted to a tub cover and positioned above the upper opening of the basket. During the dehydration-rinsing or centrifugal rinsing step, fresh water is sprayed from the spraying device into the region along the side wall of the rotary basket.

Abstract: A dehydrator of this invention comprises a rotatable dehydrating tank and a water spray cylinder concentrically disposed therewith and rotated with said dehydrating tank. Said water spray cylinder is formed of a porous material having a large number of water-permeable holes distributed with a density varying with the upper and lower parts of the peripheral wall of said water spray cylinder.

Abstract: An automatic dehydrator having a timer for controlling a dehydrating operation which includes a dehydrating rinse process and a dehydration process and a select switch for selecting a combination of the dehydrating rinse process and the dehydration process or a dehydrating rinse process alone to prevent creasing of clothes.

Abstract: Apparatus for the wet processing of fabric in rope form wherein the storage chamber portion containing the major portion of the fabric to be processed comprises a tubular portion capable of rotation about its longitudinal axis and having means for producing the longitudinal feed of the fabric rope, a low bath ratio between the processing bath and fabric being obtained.

Abstract: An apparatus for wet-treating, particularly for dyeing, a fabric in the form of a continuous circulating rope of cloth, wherein the rope of cloth is fed into a kier by introducing it by means of a treating liquid and is moved farther within the kier. The treating liquid is circulated through outlets out of the kier and through inlets into the kier when feeding-in the rope of cloth by means of said liquid. The rope of cloth is fed-in into a drum pivoted in the kier, is moved together with this drum along a part of the circumference of said kier and is removed from the drum in order to be repeatedly fed-in. The treating liquid is removed from the drum after the feeding-in of the rope of cloth, and that part of the rope of cloth which is actually within the drum is deposited therein in a non-floating state.
