Title: Improvements in and relating to the manufacture of textile fabrics
IPC: D04H5/06
Filed: 1926-07-16
Abstract: 255,476. Weinheim, E. July 17, 1925, [Convention date]. Compound fabrics; fabrics composed of fibrous materials agglutinated by adhesives. - Unwoven textile fabrics are made by forming a web of fibres, and applying thereto layers of fibrous material by squirting from nozzles an emulsion containing textile fibres and binding material, so that the applied fibres are at an angle to those of the web. A carding-machine 1, Fig. 1, delivers fibres on to a belt 2, forming a uniform layer 3 which passes under a container 4 delivering the binder through a series of fine orifices. The web then passes through a drying-chamber 6 in which the binder sets or is dried, and then between rollers 12, 13. The rollerr 12 is mounted in horizontal guides and is pressed against the web by a system of levers 8, 11 and a weight 10. A winding- drum 18, driven peripherally so that the fabric is wound at a constant linear speed, receives the fabric. The fabric is then further treated to apply transverse layers of fibres. The fabric 3, Fig. 3, passes from the drum 14 under a distributor 20 adapted to be moved to and fro across the run of the fabric 3 on guide rails and to discharge an emulsion containing textile fibres on to the fabric through fine jets. These fibres are laid transversely of the fabric 3 by the motion of the distributor. A system of rollers 17 applies a run of fabric, preferably similar to the fabric 3, transversely as the rollers 17 move to and fro. Rollers 12<1>, 13<1> are arranged as before described to press the fabric. Alternatively, separate rectangular pieces of fabric may be applied by apparatus similar to the feeder of a printing-machine. The rollers 12', 13' may be kept at a definite distance apart by means of a spider 15, Fig. 5, pivoting about an axis 16 on the fixed mounting of the roller 13<1> and carrying at the ends of its arms feelers 27 which abut against a face on the movable mounting 18 of the roller 12<1>. Each of the feelers 27 is adapted to hold the roller 12<1> at a different distance from the roller 13<1>.
