Title: An Improved Method and Machine for Mercerising Cotton Yarn in Skeins.
Inventor: HAHN PAUL
IPC: D06B7/06
Filed: 1911-10-12
Granted: 1912-08-08
Abstract: 6171. Hahn, P. Oct. 12. Hank type. - Skeins of cotton yarn are mercerized in apparatus comprising a pair of rollers, axially rotatable, over which the skeins are placed and travel, and means for practically simultaneously impregnating the whole of each skein, consisting of a box with which the rollers are enclosed, and which is then rapidly filled with the lye, rinsing - water, &c. The lower and upper rollers a, bare supported by stuffing-boxes a<2>, b<2>, respectively, carried on a fixed plate z and a slide u<1> vertically guided by tongues and grooves, liquid-tight, against the fixed plate z. Means such as two vertical screwspindles z<3> are provided for moving vertically the slide u<1> and so tensioning the skeins when placed on the rollers a, b. The fixed plate z forms the fourth side of a partitioned box m carried on wheels r running on a table r<2> supported by a vertical rack p, which is kept up against the, gear-wheel j actuating it by a guiding-roller t. The gear-wheel j is rotated at regular intervals first in one direction and then in the other through the medium of suitable cam or other gear, raising and lowering the box carriage m to and from the plate z. Between each vertical oscillation, the cam or other gear causes a fork-ended arm y<4> to engage with one axle of the carriage m and move the carriage to the right or left as the case may be. When the box m has been closed, by means of tongues and grooves z<6>, the lower roller a is in contact with a squeezing-roller q, carried one in each compartment of the box m, which roller accordingly rotates along with the roller a during the impregnating or rinsing operation. The skeins having been tentered, an appropriate valve is opened to allow the rapid entry of the treating-liquid. When the treatment is over and the liquid is drawn off, the squeezing-roller a by further rotation removes all surplus lye from the skeims. When the box m rises again, the plate z registers with the second compartment and the rinsing operation is then effected similarly.
