Abstract
A method is provided for treating textile goods in which a treating agent such as a dye or washing agent is forced through the goods by simultaneously with the treatment partially centrifuging the treating agent from the goods.
Claims10
In a method for treating a fluid-impregnatable textile fibre band with a fluid treating agent, the steps comprising contacting such fibre band with such treating agent while moving through a zone containing such treating agent;
- forming the treated fibre band material into a loop by rotating a length of such treated fibre band material about an axis of rotation extending from such treating agent zone so as to subject such loop to centrifugal forces;
- one end portion of said loop being disposed in said treating agent zone during rotation thereof, whereby said one end portion is intensively impregnated with said treating agent;
- the portion of said loop subjected to the greatest centrifugal forces being disposed exteriorly of said treating agent zone after passing through said zone, whereby said treating agent is readily removed from said latter loop portion by centrifugal forces, and guiding the end portion of the loop disposed exteriorly of said treating agent along said axis of rotation whereat said band is withdrawn away from said treatment zone.
In a method for treating a fluid-impregnatable fibre band with a fluid treating agent, the steps comprising contacting such fibre material band with such treating agent while moving through a zone containing such treating agent;
- forming the treated fibre band material into a loop by rotating a length of such treated fibre band material about an axis of rotation extending from such treating agent zone so as to subject such loop to centrifugal forces;
- one end portion of said loop being disposed in said treating agent zone during rotation thereof, whereby said one end portion is intensively impregnated with said treating agent;
- passing the end portion of said loop disposed exteriorly of said treating zone through a rotating guide means opening spaced from and rotating about the axis of loop rotation;
- said textile fibre band abruptly changing direction after passing through said guide means and then passing through said axis of rotation.
