Abstract
A vibrating apparatus for dimensional stabilization treatment of fabrics includes a fabric-containing tub (2), a vibration-generating slider-crank mechanism (3) and a support mechanism (4) for supporting the tub (2) and transferring the vibrations produced by the generating mechanism (3). The tub (2) is made of carbon fiber and the mechanism (4) for supporting and transferring vibrations includes at least three rocker arms (12), each having one end hinged to the tub (2), the other end hinged to a counterweight (6) located opposite to the tub (2) and being hinged in the middle to a load-bearing structure (16).
Claims6
A vibrating apparatus for dimensional stabilization treatment of fabrics, comprising:
- a fabric-containing tub;
- and
- a vibration-generating slider-crank mechanism and a support mechanism for supporting the tub and transferring vibrations produced by the vibration generating mechanism, wherein said vibration-generating mechanism comprises at least one rotating drive shaft having at least one pin eccentric to the axis of rotation of the shaft, said vibration generating mechanism including a vertically extending connecting rod corresponding to said one or each eccentric pin, and having a head connected to the eccentric pin and a foot elastically connected to a counterweight such that said vibration generating mechanism transfers vertical oscillatory movements of the eccentric pin to the counterweight and the movements are transferred from the counterweight through the support mechanism to the tub and the fabric;
- wherein said tub is made of carbon fiber.
