Abstract
Devices for adjusting positions of: a removable slip sheet in a compression zone defined by a pair of rollers of an open width textile compressive shrinking machine to adjust a size of the compression zone for various thickness and types of textiles; a wedge between the pair of rollers for spacing apart the pair of rollers a predetermined dimension; and a shoe in the compression zone for allowing for different thickness and types of textiles.
Claims21
A device for adjusting a position of a removable slip sheet in a compression zone of an open width textile compressive shrinking machine to adjust a size of the compression zone for various thickness and types of textiles, wherein the compression zone is defined by a pair of rollers of the open width textile compressive shrinking machine, and wherein said device moves with a pivotal arm of the open width textile compressive shrinking machine, via an intermediate arm of the open width textile compressive shrinking machine, said device comprising:
- a bracket;
- wherein said bracket has the removable slip sheet depending therefrom and is movably mounted to the intermediate arm so as to allow the removable slip sheet to move in the compression zone to adjust for various thickness and types of textiles.
