Abstract
An apparatus for dye application to textile manufactures, exhaustion of the applied dye, and drying of the textile manufacture. The apparatus, in some implementations, includes a dye applicator that applies dye evenly to a textile manufacture of varying length, one or more microwave elements for heating the textile manufacture with applied dye to exhaust the dye, and a blower system to dry the textile manufacture after application of the applied dye.
Claims12
An apparatus, comprising:
- a platform defining a substantially flat top surface upon which a textile manufacture may be received;
- a first housing in movable disposition relative to the platform such that:
- the first housing, in a first position, defines a substantially enclosed cavity in which the flat top surface of the platform defines a bottom surface of the substantially enclosed cavity;
- and
- the first housing, in a second position, allows access to the top surface of the platform for placement and removal of the textile manufacture;
- a microwave device including a magnetron and a waveguide operatively positioned relative to the first housing when the first housing is in the first position such that magnetron guides microwaves into the substantially enclosed cavity when the magnetron is energized;
- a blower device that, when the first housing is in the first position, is fluidly coupled to the substantially enclosed cavity and blows air into the substantially enclosed cavity when energized;
- and
- a control subsystem electrically coupled to the microwave device and the blower device and that, during a first time period, causes the microwave device to be energized and the blower device to be de-energized and that, during a second time period after the first time period, causes the microwave device to be de-energized and the blower device to be energized.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a platform defining a substantially flat top surface upon which a textile manufacture may be received;
- means for enclosing in movable disposition relative to the platform, the means for enclosing, when in a first position, defining a substantially enclosed cavity in which the flat top surface of the platform defines a bottom surface of the substantially enclosed cavity, and when in second position, allowing access to the top surface of the platform for placement and removal of the textile manufacture;
- a microwave device including a magnetron and a waveguide operatively positioned relative to the first housing when the first housing is in the first position such that magnetron guides microwaves into the substantially enclosed cavity when the magnetron is energized;
- a blower device that, when the first housing is in the first position, is fluidly coupled to the substantially enclosed cavity and blows air into the substantially enclosed cavity when energized;
- and
- a control subsystem electrically coupled to the microwave device and the blower device and that, during a first time period, causes the microwave device to be energized and the blower device to be de-energized and that, during a second time period after the first time period, causes the microwave device to be de-energized and the blower device to be energized.
