  • Patent number: 6520216
    Abstract: A method for obtaining a woven fabric which comprises continuously unwinding from a single warp beam, a set of parallel warp yarns; passing the set of warp yarns on a whip-roll; forming a shed using heald means; inserting a weft yarn in the shed in the proximity of a face stitch to form a fabric; and finally uniformly pulling and batching the resulting fabric. In one aspect of the invention, the method consists of, in the proximity of the shed opening stitch, heating the warp yarns, and then cooling said warp yarns in the shed before they reach the heald means, characterized in that only part (34) of the warp yarns is heated. In one aspect of the invention, the shed may be defined in the forward movement direction of the warp, for example, by the opening stitch and the face stitch.

  • Patent number: 5862687
    Abstract: A drum washing machine includes a spin basket rotatable within a tub about a horizontal axis. Projecting radially inwardly from a cylindrical wall of the spin basket is a plurality of lifters which raise clothes and then let them fall. The lifters form internal spaces into which wash water can flow. That water is raised and then flows downwardly back onto the clothes to increase washing efficiency.

  • Patent number: 4229173
    Abstract: An improved process for the continuous dyeing of lengths of textile material that at least partly contain cellulose fibers by the Pad-Steam process wherein the textile material onto which dyestuff has been applied is impregnated with chemical reducing agents including an alkaline solution, is then transported into a steamer for dyestuff-fixation by steaming thereon, is then after-treated by the sequential steps of rinsing with a liquor to remove the reducing agents, oxidizing the dyestuff with a liquor, and soaping and again rinsing the material with a liquor, and then finally drying the material. The improvement in the process comprises effecting the after-treatment steps, at least partially, by forcing the appropriate liquors through the material, especially on the perforated surface of a suction drum.
