Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device of the preamble of claim 1 corresponding type.
  • Such devices are from DE-PS 14 60 265 and DE 37 33 996 C2 known.
  • the known embodiments is in the "opposite side surface" of the trough, opposite the inflatable tube another such inflatable tube arranged, so that the web runs between the hoses.
  • the other hose has one on its side Cross section corresponding space requirement, so that the constructive freedom is restricted at this point is.
  • the web runs below the interacting Hoses continue vertically down and happen a pair of nip rollers, in which applied treatment liquid at least partially squeezed becomes.
  • the web also runs in DE 37 33 996 C2 below the hoses vertically downwards and is then passed at some distance over a deflection roller.
  • the strong tendency to shrink becomes when mercerizing counteracted that the web after application the Mercerisierlauge in a so-called bound Web guide is held at the web about a sequence of contiguous or practical deflecting rollers lying against each other is passed and no free material path between the deflection rollers occurs.
  • the material web is on the circumference of the deflection rollers by the one that comes about through the web train Friction held and prevented from shrinking.
  • a characteristic of the generic application devices is the possibility of using a web relatively high amount of treatment fluid in the area to soak from 100 to 200% of the basis weight.
  • the Material web is evenly stripped off on the hoses and leaves the application device with a load, that with other application devices is not without problems can be reached.
  • the loading is bilateral and is achieved by passing the slot between the Hoses even something inside the web massaged.
  • the invention is the Task based on a generic application device To be designed so that after leaving the gap on the hose assembly until a bound is reached Goods path guidance given free material path as far as possible becomes short.
  • the training of the counterpart serves the same goal according to claim 2 with a concave bottom, which in the Radius is adapted to the circumference of the deflecting roller and through the one in the gusset between the one running down Material web and the deflecting roller affected by it Tip is formed, the hose is opposite.
  • the guide roller can be as high as possible so that the distance from the Hose gap until the deflection roller is short.
  • the bearings of the top rollers can according to claim 7 a free self-adjustment of the top rollers against the Allow adjacent bottom rollers.
  • the top rollers are therefore not rigid, but "loose”, i.e. more managed, and can find their optimal investment position search yourself.
  • a textile web 1 is made Cotton material over a spreader roller 2 and an upper Deflection roller 3 guided to from there in a vertical direction section 1 'running below through a trough 4 Treatment liquid 5 to be passed.
  • Trough 4 extends at least across the width of the web 1 and has a left side surface according to FIG. 1 4 'and a similar right side surface 4 ", which face each other down to form a wedge-shaped Cross-section in a vertical plane perpendicular to the web 1 approach.
  • the side surfaces 4 ', 4 "are to the a web section 1 'forming a vertical plane is symmetrical arranged so that the web 1 as it passes of the trough 4 with treatment liquid on both sides is loaded.
  • the left side surface 4 ' is through a carrier 6 formed, which in turn on a support beam 7 in shape a hollow section beam of square cross-section is supported.
  • the carrier 6 points in one to the web 1 vertical vertical plane which is evident from FIG. 1 Cross-sectional shape.
  • recess open towards the web 1 8 is an inflatable, stretching horizontally across the width the web 1 extending hose 9 arranged, the via an external connection 10 with a controllable compressed air Pressure is fillable and there is something under pressure bulges out of the recess 8 according to FIG. 1 to the right.
  • the side surface 4 ′′ opposite the hose 9 the trough 4 is through the wall of a box-shaped Opposing 11 formed, which is also on the Width of the web extends and at least in that Pipe 9 opposite area 4 "'made of polished corrosion-resistant steel, which has good sliding properties for the web 1 and has a smooth closed Sliding surface for the web 1 forms. Between the Hose 9 and the area 4 ′′ is the hose gap 12 formed, runs through the web 1.
  • the sliding of the web 1 on this side of the hose gap 12 is unproblematic.
  • a film 18 made of thin, corrosion-resistant sheet metal is provided, which extends across the width of the web and by means of the screw 15 between the upper area of the Side wall 4 'and the baffle there clamped is.
  • the slide film 18 extends over the side wall 4 'down in front of the hose 9 through the hose gap 12 through to below the hose gap 12 in of a free loop and there on one Holder 19 to be set.
  • the hose gap 12 limits the trough 4 at the bottom.
  • end plates 13 which in the manner indicated by means of screws 14 on the end faces of the counter-carrier are tightly attached and form transverse walls that extend up to the opposite side surface 4 'of the carrier 6 are sufficient, over the respective end face of the counter-carrier 11 extends.
  • This also applies to the slide film 18, the rests on the side surface 4 'and from the end face 13' the respective end plate 13 in which a seal is arranged can be sealingly pressed (Fig. 2).
  • the inflatable tube 9 presses the web 1 against the lower area 4 "'of the side surface 4". At the Passing through the hose gap 12 becomes the web 1 on both sides due to the pressure in the hose 9 stripped of a certain, relatively high moisture content, the 100 to 200% by weight of the dry Goods can be.
  • the trough 4 contains only a small amount of treatment liquid, which is continuously renewed. For this are at the upper ends of the side surfaces 4 ', 4 "by means of Screws 15 angled baffles 16 attached form drain surfaces 16 'inclined towards the trough 4, on the upper edge of supply pipes 17, the treatment liquid is applied, which overflow when flowing smoothes the drainage surfaces 16 'into a film which laminar along the side surfaces 4 ', 4 "into the trough 4 flows out.
  • the web 1 sets after the trough 4 and Hose gap 12 has passed below the path Hose gap 12 vertically down in one section 1 "continues up to the stop 1 '' 'on the perimeter a deflection roller 20 arranged under the counter support 11 enough. The web 1 then wraps around the deflection roller 20 in its lower area and is on it in so-called bound leadership, i.e. it is through the Friction of the plant held on and can not be free shrink. Section 1 "is an unavoidable one free web section that is designed as short as possible shall be.
  • the underside 21 of the Counter carrier 11 corresponding to the circumference of the deflecting roller 20 concave and arranged close to this circumference.
  • the deflection roller 20 can be set higher, around the contact point 1 "'the hose gap 12 if possible to approximate.
  • the counter beam 11 forms in its cross section a tip 22 which is in the gusset between the Section 1 "of the web and the extent of the deflection roller 20 reaches down and there at the lower end of the side wall 4 "the area 4" 'of the sliding system of the web 1 and forms the hose gap 12.
  • the section 1 "of the web 1 is as short as it in a construction with fixed side surfaces 4 ', 4 "formed trough 4 is possible.
  • Fig. 3 is the interaction of the application device 100 with a downstream treatment line 200 shown with bound web guide.
  • the treatment line 200 consists of a series of deflection rollers. These include those arranged in a horizontal plane mutually parallel lower rollers 20,30,40, of which the Bottom roller 20 by the deflection roller 20 of FIGS. 1 and 2 is formed and in the embodiment, the lower rollers 20 and 40 are driven.
  • the lower rollers 20, 30, 40 have the same diameter and leave the same distances from each other that are smaller than the diameter.
  • the web is meandering over the sequence of the deflecting rollers 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and does not experience any free in the treatment line 200 Goods line.
  • the top rollers 25, 35 can at the points 26,36,46,56 rest on the lower rollers 20,30,40 being stored "loosely", i.e. your edition position can search for yourself.
  • the positions 26,36,46,56 form here Roll gaps on which the web 1 has a line force experiences. This may be undesirable in certain cases for example when the one applied in the applicator 100 relatively large amount of treatment liquid should not be squeezed off immediately.
  • the pins 27, 37 of the top rollers 25.35 stored in elbows 24.34 which in the sense of Arrows 23 can be raised or lowered.
  • the raising can so far that the top rollers 25,35 at the points 26.36 and 46.56 just lifted off the lower rollers be, so that the bound web guide practical is not given, but still no roll gap a squeezing line force is given.
