Abstract
An endless textile web is processed by passing it through an elongated tubular member defining a treatment zone which is disposed within a chamber. A jet of treatment air is directed against the web near the inlet end of the zone, the jet being directed away from the inlet end to convey the web and cause it to expand and flutter as it moves. An apparatus is disclosed in which tubular member is bent into a sinous shape. Air filtering, treating and blowing apparatus are included.
Claims11
An apparatus for the surface treatment of an endless textile structure comprising
- a substantially closed container;
- means defining an elongated treatment channel within said container for receiving and guiding the textile structure, the interior of said channel constituting a treatment zone substantially isolated from the remainder of the container interior, said channel having an inlet end and an outlet end within said container,
- said inlet end and said outlet end being laterally spaced apart;
- nozzle means near the inlet end of said channel for directing a stream of air against the textile therein and away from said inlet end to create a current of air longitudinally through the channel for conveying the textile therethrough;
- blower means coupled to said nozzle means for supplying air under pressure to said nozzle means;
- conveyor means disposed below said channel for receiving and conveying textile emerging from said outlet end to a location substantially below said inlet end;
- winch means adjacent said inlet end for receiving said textile from said conveyor means and delivering textile to said inlet end of said channel;
- and
- means for driving said winch means.
