IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR TREATING FIBRES THREADS OR YARNS
Year: 1885

page_text: I, CHARLES DENTON ABEL of N° 28 Southampton Buildings Chancery Lane in
the County of Middlesex Consulting Engineer and Patent Agent do hereby declare
the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR TREATING
FIBRES THREADS OR YARNS" to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the cylinder described in the Speci-
fication to Patent N° 2181 of 1883, serving as manipulating chamber, which
improvements are modified according to the nature of the textile fibres or threads
to be treated.
The cylinder a Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings (any other form
than that of a cylinder may also be employed) is provided with several superposed
rows of separate receptacles b bin which the fibre material, either in loose condition
or in bobbin form, or as finished yarn &c, is introduced for the purpose of washing,
mordaunting, bleaching, disacidulating &c, in order for these purposes to be
subjected to the action of liquids or gases forced or drawn through them.
For the reception of the cylinder into the vat, the same arrangements are
employed as described in the before mentioned Specification.
The sides of the cylinder are perforated at the parts where they form the ends
of the receptacles, b b, and these are also closed at their outer ends by perforated
covers c c secured by bridge pieces and screws or by other suitable arrangements,
so that the liquids or gases have to pass through the contents of the vessel, either
in the direction from the cover to the inner end, or conversely, in consequence of
pressure or suction being applied.
The cylinder a is closed at top by a cover & provided with a screwed eye, by
means of which the apparatus is lifted.
At the lower end is provided a conical ring f, by means of which the apparatus
can be fitted on to a centrifugal machine on removal from the vat, for the purpose
of subjecting the contents to centrifugal action.

page_text: Fig. 3 shews a modification of the said receptacles b b, in which two concentric
cylinders are arranged, similar to the cylinders in the before mentioned Specifi-
cation, but with the difference that the inner cylinder in the present case is fixed
with its inner end against the side of the cylinder a instead of resting upon the
bottom of the vat as was formerly the case.
Figs. 4, 5, 6, and 7 shew the cylinder a arranged for treating yarn wound upon
spools. These are placed upon perforated tapering tubes h h, so that the liquids or
gases pass from the perforated tubes through the spools, or conversely. The tubes h
can be fixed either on the inner or the outer surface of the cylinder a. The latter
is, as before, constructed at its base for being fitted on to a centrifugal machine.
Fig. 8 shews the conical tube with spool to an enlarged scale. The spool, made
either of metal or wood, is also perforated.

This invention relates to improvements in the cylinder described in the Speci-
fication to Patent No 2181 of 1883, serving as manipulating chamber, which
improvements are modified according to the nature of the textile fibres or threads
to be treated.
The cylinder a Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings (any other form
than that of a cylinder may also be employed) is provided with several superposed
rows of separate receptacles b b in which the fibre material, either in loose condition
or in bobbin form, or as finished yarn &c, is introduced for the purpose of washing,
mordaunting, bleaching, disacidulating &c, in order for these purposes to be
subjected to the action of liquids or gases forced or drawn through them.
For the reception of the cylinder into the vat, the same arrangements are
employed as described in the before mentioned Specification.
The sides of the cylinder are perforated at the parts where they form the ends
of the receptacles, 6 b, and these are also closed at their outer ends by perforated
covers c c secured by bridge pieces and screws or by other suitable arrangements,
so that the liquids or gases have to pass through the contents of the vessel, either
in the direction from the cover to the inner end, or conversely, in consequence of
pressure or suction being applied.
The cylinder a is closed at top by a cover d provided with a screwed eye, by
means of which the apparatus is lifted.
At the lower end is provided a conical ring f, by means of which the apparatus
can be fitted on to a centrifugal machine on removal from the vat, for the purpose
of subjecting the contents to centrifugal action.
