Title: Improvements in the Treatment of Textile Fabrics
Inventor: CHEDLOW DANIEL
Filed: 1907-05-17
Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 11,575. Chedlow, D., Dreaper, W. P., and Hall, W. T. May 17. Dyeing; washing.-In degumming, dyeing, removing impurities and otherwise treating fabrics, for example crepe de chine or other silk or mixed goods, frames are used which are stated to allow free access of the treating-liquid to all parts of the material, and also full contraction during treatment. The frames each consist of two solid sides A, Figs. 1 and 2, held together by two pairs of stay-rods B, B<1>, and carry journals D. To fill a frame, the outer stay-rods B are removed, and it is rotated upon the journals D on an horizontal axis and thin rods r, woich may be corrugated or otherwise prepared and having button ends C, are dropped into the slots, one into each at each revolution, the fabric f being wound on at the same time. One means for allowing contraction of the fabric during treatment consists of an arm F fixed to the side of the frame A and carrying a cross-rod the position of which is varied relatively to the frame after winding. A somewhat similar device is shown in Fig. 4. In another device, the portions of the frame slotted for the rods r slide upon the arms of the frame A and can be fixed farther and nearer to the journals D. A modification of the frame consists in two similar frames A pivoted on the journals D, Fig. 3, contraction being allowed for by closing up the frames after winding. In use, the frames are pivoted in the treating-tank and are caused to move therein, for example by the action of an horizontal rod oscillated by a donkey-engine motion and having downwardly extending forks which each embrace the upper stay-rod B of one of the immersed frames. The Provisional Specification refers to the treatment of silk and wool or artificialsilk mixed goods, and also to ' boiling off ' goods in canvas or cotton bags.

Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 16,557. Crombie, W. A. E. Aug. 6. Cellulose.-In apparatus for producing fibres from solutions, a coagulating-trough is employed which is provided with a conical outlet specially constructed so as to minimize contact of the fibres with the bend of the outlet channel. The spinning-solution is supplied to the coagulating- trough A by a hinged pipe E, and the coagulating- solution by a pipe H. The trough A is provided with a perforated plate to minimize the production of eddies, and the sides of the trough merge into the conical outlet channel, or the outlet channel may project upwards into the trough. The spinning-liquid issuing from the nozzle G produces fibres, which pass through the pipe D arranged with its outlet at the upper side. In order to reduce the contact of the fibres with the bend of the outlet channel rounded ribs or grooves, arranged in a spiral or sloping manner, are provided. The fibres pass to circumferentiallygrooved rollers Q immersed in baths with which the fibres are to be treated. Instead of wheels, inclined plates over which liquid flows may be used, or the fibres may be allowed to dip into the liquid directly.
