Equipment for gas-singeing runs of tubular textile materials

Equipment for gas-singeing runs of textiles, comprising an adjustable floating expander means in which a cylinder spreads approximately cylindrically and which is used for a textile tubular fabric moving over it, and further comprising at least one annular means surrounding the expander means and acting as a support for a plurality of singeing means containing gas-burner nozzles, the forward boundary of at least part of the singeing means being adapted to the curvature of the outer contour of the expander,

• means for displacing said singeing means in a radial and synchronous manner with respect to the expander means, whereby the singeing means can be adapted to the required diameter of the expander,
• and means whereby a rotational motion is superposed on the radial displacement of at least part of the singeing means, said rotation taking place about the axis of displacement of said singeing means in such a manner that neighboring singeing means when projected on a cross-sectional plane always closely adjoin one another.
