Abstract
A device for heat treatment, in particular for steaming of spools, cops and cones, based on an elongated, height-adjustable steaming vessel (2), arranged below, and parallel to, spools (15) suspended in a row. By being moved into the steaming vessel (2), the spools (15) can be unlatched and, after closing of a lid (7), heat treated. Alternatively, a closed, conduit-like steaming vessel can be included in the material flow of the spools, permitting steaming in the throughfeed mode. The dwell times of the cops after steaming are largely predeterminable. Also, the space requirements of the equipment are minimal.

A device for the heat treatment and/or humidification of textile items in a textile treatment system having a conveyor on which said textile elements are transported on individual spools, cops or cones;
- comprising an elongated vessel positioned proximate a portion of the conveyor and having a body and a lid operable to accept said textile elements within the vessel body;
- means mounted to said vessel for vertically positioning said vessel in a first position in which at least one of said textile items on said conveyor is located within said vessel body and for transporting said vessel and said at least one textile item vertically to a second position remote from said conveyor;
- and means coupled to said vessel for providing heat or steam thereto when said vessel is in said second position.
The device accordingly 1 further comprising hinge means mounted to a lateral wall of said vessel body for articulating said lid and locking said lid in a closed position.
