Abstract
Apparatus to apply dyes to a moving material to print the same which employs dye applicator gun bars to direct a plurality of streams of dye onto the moving sheet in a predetermined pattern, and wherein means are provided for accurately positioning and adjusting the gun bars on their support frame to facilitate accurate placement of the dye streams on the moving material during the printing operation.
Claims8
In apparatus for applying dye to a moving material to print a pattern thereon including means for moving the material in a path of treatment, an elongate dye jet gun bar having a plurality of dye emitting jet orifices along the bar for directing dye in plural streams onto the material, a support frame for positioning the gun bar adjacent the path of material treatment, and means for attaching the gun bar to the support frame;
- the improvement wherein said attaching means comprises elongate resilient rod means at each end of said gun bar having one end attached to said gun bar and the other end attached to said support frame to supportingly suspend said gun bar on said support frame, and means operatively connecting said gun bar and said frame for applying multidirectional forces to said gun bar to bend said resilient elongate rod means and thereby adjustably position said gun bar relative to said support frame and said path of material treatment.
