Abstract
An apparatus for dyeing a fabric material comprising a semicircular dye vessel having at opposite ends upwardly directed openings, a first conduit and second conduit connected at one end to the respective openings of the vessel, a dye feed box with a jet nozzle and a deflecting means operatively associated with the jet nozzle. The fabric material is a narrow strip of tape bonded at both ends to form a loop. The deflecting means is rotatable in the first conduit for deflecting the flow of fabric material and dye liquid at an angle of approximately 45.degree. with respect to the vertical axis of the first conduit, the fabric material being oriented to form a succession of loops deposited one upon another and extending substantially radially of the vertical axis.
Claims9
An apparatus for dyeing a fabric material which comprises:
- (i) a substantially semicircular tubular vessel having at opposite ends thereof upwardly directed openings;
- (ii) a first vertical conduit connected at one end to one of the openings in said vessel;
- (iii) a second vertical conduit connected at one end to the other opening in said vessel;
- (iv) a horizontal connecting conduit extending between and interconnecting said first and second vertical conduits at the respective upper ends thereof;
- (v) a dye feed box having a jet nozzle and disposed in said first conduit;
- (vi) a flow deflecting means rotatably mounted in said first conduit and having a downwardly slanted portion to deflect the flow of fabric material and dye liquid at a predetermined angle with respect to the central vertical axis of said first conduit;
- (vii) a dye recycle circuit for recycling the flow of dye liquid from said vessel to said first conduit;
- and
- (viii) a fabric recycle circuit for recycling the fabric material through said first conduit, said vessel, said second conduit and said horizontal conduit.
