BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment, given by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG.

In the accompanying drawings, the reference numeral 1 designates the whole of the device according to the invention, which comprises a known filling tank 2 and a single piece of cloth T to be treated. At least one pair of rollers 3, 4; a compaction box 5 provided downstream of the rollers 3, 4; an air diffuser provided upstream of the rollers; A plurality of lateral guides 7 for dividing the T, and a single piece of cloth, which is a known component of a device such as a compactor for wet treatment of the slab. The device according to the invention has, as a well-known basic configuration, a)
In addition to or instead of the compaction box 5, a belt is provided which presses the fabric against the striking surface or passage by airflow in the direction of travel of the fabric, and b) an arcuate or flat exit surface 7. Diffuser and c) expansion tank 2
A blower 8 provided inside or outside to supply air to the diffuser; and d) moving and pressing the fabric foil, and two rollers (3, 4) shown (the upper roller 3 is an idle roller). , Pressed against the lower drive roller)
Three or more rollers combined in place of
e) Other known members, such as an idle guide roller 10 provided in front of the entrance where the cloth enters the roller, and a creel can be provided.

[0007] Of these members, not many are important for the purposes of the present invention. These components are characteristic of a device (compactor) for wet-treating a piece of joined fabric, which is activated upstream of the rollers, i.e. before the fabric T enters between the rollers 3,4. It is known, except for the provision of a smelting means, generally designated 9, which can be moved from a position to a non-actuated position (and vice versa). In this movement, the entire refining means may be a single device (FIG. 1-3) or a combination of the devices (FIGS. 4-7).

The refining means 9 shown in FIGS. 1-3 is a substantially box-shaped casing 11, which is in a non-operating position indicated by a broken line in FIG. It consists of a casing which is vertically movable from the path of the foil or away from it, to the upper position shown in solid lines in FIGS. 1 and 2, ie to the position traversed by the cloth foil T and vice versa.

The sealed hollow box-shaped casing is made of sheet metal and has a plurality of substantially conical parallel passages 12. A plurality of holes or nozzles 13 (FIG. 3) are formed in the wall of the passage, from which the processing liquid (for example, water) supplied to the inlet 14 of the casing by a pump (not shown) is supplied. The jet is forcibly ejected. Excess liquid (ie, the portion of the liquid that does not squirt from the holes or nozzles 13) exits at the location indicated by reference numeral 15.

The box casing can be moved from the active position to the inactive position and vice versa by known means or methods. In the example shown, this movement is effected by means of a geared motor unit 16 which has two outputs and is fixed by means known in the device according to the invention.
One of the two outputs drives a vertical worm 17 which meshes with a threaded bushing mounted in a side support 18 on the box casing 11. The lower support of the worm 17 is designated by the reference numeral 19. The other output is a worm 22 parallel to the vertical worm 17,
The box-shaped casing 11 has a side support 18a (side support 1).
The worm meshing with the threaded bushing mounted in the helical gear pair (symmetrical with 8) is provided in the bevel gear pair (provided in the support 21).
, The through shaft 20 is driven.

In such a device, during the compacting operation, the refining means 9 (ie the associated box-shaped casing 11)
The lower position, that is, the non-operating position in which the refining liquid is not supplied to the box-shaped casing 11 without interfering with the path of the plurality of cloth foils T joined together (see FIG. 1).

[0012] When the compacting operation is completed, while the moving members of the refining means are all stopped, each of the joined fabric foils T is spread, and the box-shaped casing 11 is moved to the upper position (the above-described lifting and lowering operation). After that, one is passed through each of the passages 12 of the box-shaped casing, and sewn again. The apparatus according to the invention is started without actuating the above-mentioned components serving only for the filling operation, supplying the box-shaped casing 11 with the refining liquid and discharging the refining liquid into the holes or nozzles 1.
While moving a plurality of cloth foils T spouted from each of them into a single piece by the rollers 3 and 4 acting as pressing rollers, the plurality of cloth foils T Strike. During the refining operation, the blower 8 is also operated.

However, as described above, this apparatus requires a series of manual operations on a plurality of pieces of cloth T, each being a single piece. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 and described below, these series of manual operations are not required.

In FIGS. 4 to 7, the same or corresponding members as those shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals with an asterisk.

The box-shaped casing 11 * jointly forms a passage 12 * from a non-operating position vertically separated from each other through a mating surface to form a plurality of cloth joints to be refined. Two parts 11 movable relative to one another in the working position brought about by (and vice versa)
* A and 11 * b.

FIG. 4 shows components 11 * of the refining means 9 *.
In a and 11 * b, the operating position is indicated by a solid line, and the non-operating position is indicated by a broken line. The refining means 9 * is in the inactive position in FIGS. 5 and 6, and in the active position in FIG.

As is apparent from FIG. 5, the passages 12 * for connecting a plurality of cloths T are formed by the members 11 * a and 1 *.
Formed as part of 1 * b, and when members 11 * a and 11 * b are joined together, a passageway is provided.

As shown in FIG. 5, members 11 * a, 11 *
b is hollow, one member has an end protruding portion 30 and an intermediate protruding portion 31, and the other member has concave portions 30a and 31a corresponding thereto. Members 11 * a and 11
When * b is joined together in the actuated position (see FIG. 7), these protrusions and recesses enter in a sealed manner.

The protruding portion and the concave portion are formed by the refining liquid of the member 11 * b
Are provided with passages 32 aligned with each other so as to enter at a location indicated by reference numeral 14 * and to move to the member 11 * a. Excess liquid (ie, not ejected from holes or nozzles 13 *)
Are discharged from a single outlet 15 *. As the two members separate, the now open passage 32 provides wash water from the protrusions and recesses to clean the drops formed during the refining operation. This washing water is supplied by a pipe 40 controlled by a valve 41.

The members 11 * a, 11 * b can be moved by something similar to the link mechanism described with respect to FIGS. However, the following obvious differences exist. That is, each of the members 11 * a and 11 * b is provided with a lead nut on the end support. One lead nut of the member is threaded in the opposite direction to the thread of the lead nut of the other member, and each of the worms (corresponding to worm 17) is threaded to one member in one direction. , Screwed into the other member in the opposite direction, so that a single geared motor is
They can be joined and separated.

An advantage of this embodiment is that there is no need to add manual operation to the cloth to move from the compacting operation to the refining operation. This is because the refining work can be executed immediately after the reduction work is completed.

As the refining liquid, any suitable liquid can be used, for example, water, a mixture of air and water, a mixture of water and a chemical treating agent, and the like.

Although the illustrated embodiment is provided with a plurality of refining work passages, the scope of the present invention includes embodiments in which only one refining work passage is used.
