Abstract: This apparatus for the preparation and/or regeneration of detergent reels of fabric for cleaning printing cylinders or cylinders of similar precision has the characteristic of impregnating the fabric (4) by its immersed transit through a suitable container (10), and by a subsequent sinuous passage involving its pressing and folding in alternate directions by a plurality of rollers implementing uniform distribution of the detergent, said passage terminating with winding the fabric into a new reel (8) of collected fabric which, thus treated, has acquired and/or conserved properties suitable for its use.

Abstract: A papermachine clothing cleaning apparatus has a fluid injection nozzle with an apertured plate (14). The injection nozzle directs fluid onto the papermachine clothing (11) in order to clean the clothing. The areas of papermachine clothing that are adjacent the areas of clothing being impacted by the fluid are located in a press formed by the apertured plate (14) and a body (15) provided at the opposite surface of the fabric (11).

Abstract: A moving piece of leather on a bearing support will be moved parallel to a moving open-porous-structured, mesh-like (strainer) belt, the pores or meshes being filled with fluid. This fluid will be transmitted by pressure onto the leather surface.The pressure can be caused either by a pressure roll, or an oscillating zone of pressure, rotating bristle or a linear air or steam flow. The applied amount will be controlled by the relative speed between the leather surface and the mesh-like (strainer) belt.

Abstract: Procedure to form a non-woven cloth (6) made of synthetic filaments (5) in which synthetic filaments (5) are extruded, stretched, cooled, and projected onto a moving plastic fabric (1), which is characterized by cleaning the plastic fabric (1) by passing a hot liquid fluid at high speed over the point t.sub.2 of the filaments (5) and the melting point t.sub.1 of the fabric (1), the melting point of the latter being at least 80.degree. C. above that of the filaments (5).As an example, the fabric can be of polyetheretherketone yarns or of polyphenylene sulfide yarns.Easy installation of the fabric and possibility to clean it and therefore increase its life.

Abstract: A motorized shower head mechanism is disclosed in which a housing is provided with a track and a trolley, and a motor mounted on the trolley. The trolley is moved along the track by the motor and a shower head which extends through the housing is carried along by the trolley.

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: Pile articles, such as artificial furs, wherein at least a part of piles is colored in at least two kinds of colorations which vary in the length direction of the piles, said color variation being caused on level surfaces distant substantially constantly from a substrate fabric of said pile articles over a broad area of said pile articles, are produced by rotating a fibrous structure having piles fixed on a rotating body to raise the piles owing to centrifugal force caused by the rotation and contacting the raised piles with a treating liquid for fibers retained in a rotary container wherein a cylindrical interface of the treating liquid is formed due to the centrifugal force. The pile articles wherein the piles are uniformly gradationally colored in the length direction of the piles are also produced by gradually moving the above described level surface.

Abstract: A dye-containing foam is applied to a textile to create patterns thereon. The foam is transferred to the textile in the form of parallel lanes or strips. The lanes of foam are formed on an endless belt which then merges with the textile at a nip to effect the transfer of the dye. The lanes of foam are bordered by parallel partitions which are adjustable to vary the exiting width of the foam. A vertically adjustable doctor blade in each lane governs the height of each lane of foam. An agent for promoting the disintegration of the foam is applied to the side of the textile opposite the side to which the foam is applied, to assure a more uniform application of dye in the direction of the depth of the textile.

Abstract: Method of continuously treating planar textile structures by applying thereto a treatment medium in the form of foam, which includes subsequently applying underpressure to the planar textile structures at a magnitude at which the foam is completely destroyed without any appreciable flow through the material of the planar textile structures.

Abstract: Continuous method for uniform foam treatment of planar textile structures wherein a foamed treatment medium for finishing and/or dyeing is applied to the planar structure which is then subjected to underpressure, which includes sucking the foam onto the planar structure to which the foam is to be applied, and introducing the foam together with the planar structure into an underpressure chamber wherein the pressure is low compared to the internal pressure of the bubbles of the foam.

Abstract: A horizontally moving belt has a waffle grid surface into the compartments of which dyes are injected in accordance with a desired color pattern to be printed. Carpeting is moved adjacent the waffle grid surface with the pile facing down toward the grid. A counter roller supports the waffle grid at the printing station, and an oppositely disposed protuberance-bearing pressure roller pushes the backing of the carpet so that the pile enters the compartments of the waffle grid and is immersed in the dye pattern. The protuberances ensure adequate immersion of the pile while permitting escape of air and avoiding squeezing of the dye from the pile, which would otherwise occur by engagement of the pressure roller with the grid walls in the absence of the protuberances. The angle of approach of the carpet to the printing station is slightly inclined from the horizontal to ensure a gradual depression of the pile and to avoid rolling the dye out away from the nip region of the printing station.

Abstract: This invention provides an apparatus for the dry thermal transfer of organic compounds, preferably of textile finishing agents, onto webs of organic materials, in particular textile webs and carpets, by means of needle-bearing supports. The apparatus comprises means for:1. applying of a preparation which contains a transferable organic compound to the needle side of the support2. bringing said needle side of the support into contact with the web, whereby support and web rest against one another,3. subjecting the support and/or the web to that until the compound has transferred under atmospheric pressure to the web4. separating the treated textile web from the support.

Abstract: Method of producing an entrainer for squeezing or dyeing textile fabric webs with the aid of a foulard which includes inserting a spread-out endless textile web into an annular mold both the web and the annular mold having a periphery and a width corresponding to the periphery and width of the entrainer to be formed and thereafter filling the annular mold with a material that hardens to form a sponge; and endless entrainer produced by the foregoing method.

Abstract: Conveyor apparatus for temporary holdup of textile strands, especially crimped strands for setting. Screenlike conveyor belts receive the strand between downwardly converging flights and discharge the strand from between upwardly diverging flights. The conveyor apparatus is housed in a heated steam-fed enclosure.

Abstract: Method of dyeing a textile web having a relatively large volume or relief-like construction which includes immersing the web in a dye solution having a dye concentration corresponding to the quantity of liquid to be squeezed from the web in a subsequent dewatering step, passing the web between two absorbent endless entrainer members of a squeeze foulard that are continuously saturated with the dye solution prior to engagement of the endless entrainer members with the web, and squeezing the web in the foulard so as to dewater it to less than substantially 40% moisture with respect to dry weight of the web, then passing the web through an infra-red channel at an adjusted relatively low drying velocity so as to prevent the formation of cloudiness in the dye distribution and drying the web to a final moisture content of at most 5% with respect to dry weight of the web, and subsequently completing the steps of the dyeing process per se.
