Abstract
An apparatus for extracting a liquid from cloth in rope form including a rotary roller having a V- or U-shaped groove for guiding cloth in rope form, and a fixed hollow shaft or cylinder for rotatably supporting said rotary roller thereon. The rotary roller is provided with a number of small apertures radially extending through and distributed over the entire bottom of the groove, while the hollow shaft or cylinder has an opening at a position on the circumference thereof opposed to the small apertures of the rotary roller. The hollow shaft or cylinder is connected to a vaccum pump so that a vacuum suction force directed towards the axis of the rotary roller may be exerted on cloth in the groove through the opening and apertures.
Claims5
An apparatus for extracting liquid from cloth in rope form comprising
- a rotary roller including a groove therein for receiving and guiding the rope form cloth which has liquid content absorbed therein and a predetermined maximum providing a first predetermined curvature;
- said groove formed with an arcuate central inner section and two connected side sections, each side section connected respectively on opposite sides of said central section and extending outwardly and radially therefrom to provide a generally U-shape for said groove;
- said arcuate section having a second predetermined curvature considerably larger than said first predetermined curvature of the rope form cloth to provide substantial spacing between each of said side sections and the rope form cloth;
- said arcuate section having a plurality of small apertures radially extending therethrough around the entire circumference of said arcuate section;
- a fixed hollow shaft having one end closed and the other end connected to a vacuum pump for applying a suction force to said shaft;
- said shaft including an opening formed in a portion of its surface;
- and
- said roller mounted for rotation on said shaft in a location thereon providing for said plurality of apertures to pass over said opening during each revolution of said rotary roller whereby the liquid content of said rope form cloth is extracted therefrom.
An apparatus for extracting liquid from cloth in rope form comprising
- two rotary rollers mounted respectively in longitudinal alignment on spaced fixed parallel shafts;
- each roller including a groove therein for receiving and guiding the rope form cloth which has liquid content absorbed therein and a predetermined maximum diameter providing a first predetermined curvature;
- each said groove formed with an arcuate central inner section and two connected side sections, each side section connected respectively on opposite sides of said central section and extending outwardly and radially therefrom to provide a generally U-shape for said groove;
- each said arcuate section having a second predetermined curvature considerably larger than said first predetermined curvature of the rope form cloth to provide substantial spacing between each of said side sections and the rope form cloth;
- each said arcuate section having a plurality of small apertures radially extending therethrough around the entire circumference of said arcuate section;
- each said hollow shaft having one end closed and the other end connected to a vacuum pump for applying a suction force to each said shaft;
- each said shaft including an opening formed in a portion of its surface, said openings being shifted 180.degree. with respect to each other;
- and
- each said roller mounted for rotation on its respective shaft in a location thereon providing for each said plurality of apertures to pass over its respective said opening during each revolution of each said rotary roller whereby the liquid content is extracted therefrom in different directions through said openings.
