Definitions

  • the present invention relates to fabric and yarn treating machines and more particularly to machines for dyeing skeins of yarn, piece goods, or any other material.
  • a further object of the invention is to provid a novel control coupling for two or more dyeing units whereby selective operation of a unit or units can be obtained at will.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a new and eicient mixing means of the dye or treating liquor for dyeing or other treating machines whereby complete circulation and agitation is obtained giving a, resultingunifc-rm product in a period of time not heretofore possible.
  • Fig. 1 represents a plan of a number of interconnected dyeing machines embodying one form of the present invention, certain parts thereof being omitted formore clearly illustrating the invention
  • Fig. 2 represents a rear elevation of the same
  • Fig. ⁇ Si represents an enlarged detail of the novel coupling means, the same being partly broken away
  • Fig. 4 represents a. section on line 4-,4 of Fig. 1'
  • Fig. 5 represents a section online 5-5 of Fig. 1.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate a series of connected dyeing units each complete as a separate entity and consisting generally of a tank 10, a solutionmixing and circulating system 11, and supporting devices 12 for the material to be dyed or otherwise treated.
  • the devices 12 are for supporting skeins of yarn in sus- 1932, sex-m1 No. 589,378
  • the small user may only purchase one' unit with three arms; another may purchase two such units and couple them together so that if need be four, five or six skein supports can be brought into use; and still another may purchase a three arm unit and a iive arm unit to give a combined capacity of eight arms.
  • each is provided at opposite ends respectively with openings 14 and 15 preferably of elongated shape having the long axis generally horizontal.
  • Cover plates 16 are supplied with each unit for bolting or otherwise removably fastening such plates over the openings 14 and l5 in leak-proof relation.
  • a tank 10 is to be used as a single machine.
  • the machines are delivered with a coupling 17 in the form of a pipe section having end anges 18 designed to be clamped against a seat ring 20 in place of the plate 16.
  • the ring 20 is riveted or ⁇ otherwise made fast to the end of .the tank bounding the opening 14, and a packing ring 21 is interposed between the ring 20 and the flange 18.
  • bolts 22 serve to anchor either the plate 16 or the coupling flange 18 to the tank 10 according to which is to be used. It is to be understood that both ends. of the coupling 17 are secured in a like manner so that the coupling can serve as a. conduit for liquid travelling from one tank 10 to the next tank. As a means for shutting off communication from one tank to the other by way of the coupling 17, a.
  • flap valve 23 is carried by arms 24 which are pivoted oneI rod 25 mounted in hanger brackets 26 attached by bolts 27 t0 the outer tace pivotally attached to a crank arm 34 which is ⁇ keyed or otherwise made fast to an actuating shaft 35.
  • the shaft 35 is journalled at its inner end in a bearing 36 attached to the inner wall of the coupling while the opposite end of the shaft 35 is journalled in ahousing 37 exterior of the coupling 17 and protected from leakage by a lstufng box structure 38.
  • a worm 4gear 39 is geared or otherwise made fast to the shaft 35 and meshes with a wor ⁇ m 40 secured to a rotatable spindle 41 projecting to a convenient level where it terminates in a hand wheel 42 by means of which motion is transmitted to the worm 40 and its associated parts to open and close the flap valve 23.
  • the flap valve 23 plus its associated operating arms 24 and pivotal mountings 26 therefor have a transverse dimension such as to allow the assembled structure to enter the opening 14 in the tank while the flange 18 of the coupling abuts the ring 20 and holds the parts in leak-proof operative position.
  • Turning-of the hand wheel 42 will transmit motion to the valve 23 so that it can be opened when it is desired to establish communication between two adjacent tanksand can be closed when such communication is to be cut off.
  • this coupling construction and liquid circulation control makes a very flexible arrangement possible in that the user of the machine can treat a large quantity of material at full capacity or a small quantity of material with restricted capacity of the machine.
  • the user can close the valves 23, shut down all but one of the pumps 26 and so operate one tank as a unit while leaving the other tank or tanks idle and. inoperative.
  • one valve 23 can be opened and two tanks thrown together in series to act as one machine, or both valves 23 can be opened and three tanks thrown together to act as one machine. Further with the tanks shut off from each other three classes of dyeing can be carried on simultaneously with each unit operating separately.
  • each tank 10 is provided with an inlet 43 and an outlet 44 both preferably in the bottom of the tank and located at opposite sides of the tank in prder that the body of liquid can circulate entirely around and across the tank toleave by the outlet 44.
  • a strainer or screen 45 of suitable mesh is located over each of the outlets 44 to. prevent sediment or other substances from entering the respective pumps 46 and obstructing circulation through the pipes 47. 48 and 50.
  • each tank 10 has its own pump and circulating system for causing the treating liquid to be drawn from the tank, returned thereto, and eiciently and uniformly mixed for use.
  • a drain valve 51 is placed in each of the pipes 48 and can be opened when- 1,965,694 of one of the anges 18.
  • the flap valve 23 is of' ever necessary to drain the contents fromthe 4respective tanks as will be understood.
  • the treating liquid is sprayed upon the material (such as skeins of yarn) and that this may be accomplished in an effective manner the discharge end of each of the pumps 46 communicates with a separate three-way valve 52 which functions in one position to permit independent mixing and circulation of the treating liquid in each of the tanks, and in its other position cuts off such mixing and circulation anddiverts the stream of liquid from the several pumps 46 upwardly by pipes 53 leading respectively to the distributing heads of the material supporting devices 12.
  • valves 52 are arranged for separate control by means of support arms 53, connecting links 55, and operating handles 56, the respective parts being pivotally interconnected and suitably journalled on the frame of the machine so that the handle 56 of each machine is in a convenient position for operating its valve 52 when occasion arises.
  • An outlet pipe 61 leads from the valve 60 to the coupling 115 17 between the second and third tanks, and the other outlet pipe 62 leads to a closure fitting 63 projecting through and secured in leak-proof .fashion over the opening 14, but terminating in a discharge nozzle 64 inside of the third tank 10 120 and directed toward the bottom thereof.
  • the valve 57 When the valve 57 is turned to lcut 01T the pipe 50 from the pipe 48 the ldischarge from the first pump 46 follows the pipe 58 to the valve 60 and then either enters the second or intermediate tank 10 by way 125 of the pipe'61, or enters the third tank by way of the pipe 62 according to the set position of the valve 60 and whether or not two or three tanks are to be.included in the system.
  • valve 60 If the valve 60 is in position to cut on the line 61 it will estab- 130 lish communication between the pipes 58 and 62 and there will be a circulation of liquor from the pump 46 of the rst tank by way of the line 58 and 62, discharge nozzle 64, through the three tanks successively and return to the first tank 10. Incidentalto this series circulation of liquor, there is also maintained a separate agitation of the liquor in two of the tanks 10 by the operation of the two pumps 46 i'or these tanks.
  • the two hand wheels 42 are turned tobring the two ap valves to open position so that a series flow of liquor can take place through the connected units.
  • the valve 57 is set to cut off the pipe 50 from the discharge pipe 4s andatoestabusn commum- 15G cation of the latter with the pipe 58.
  • the valve 60 is set to establish communication between the pipes 58 and the pipe 62 and to cut off the pipe 6l from the pipe 58.
  • the dye liquor is now'placed in the several tanks and mixed by starting the three circulating pumps 46 so that the solution is withdrawn from the tanks and in the case of the tanks B and C is recirculated by Way of the pipes 50, but in the case of the tank A the solution is withdrawn therefrom and returned to the tank C to travel through tank B back to tank A.
  • tank A may have an initial circulation through pipe 50 before the latter is cut off and the circulation transferred to the three tank cycle.
  • the three valves 5 2 are turned so that the discharge from each of the pumps 46 is shifted into the respective pipes 53 and is led to the jet delivering supports l2 upon which the material is suspended.
  • valve 57 is, under such conditions, open sufliciently as to by-pass and return some of the liquor to the tank A and maintain an auxiliary circulation in that tank as well as in tanks B and C, and this partial opening of the valve 57 can be adjusted until the circulation is so uniformly distributed as to maintain a common level in all of the tanks.
  • this directs the liquor downwardly and in such a manner as to distribute it over the bottom 4 and toward the corners so that there are no dead spots or segregated eddies which interfere with uniform mixing.
  • a material treating machine comprisingtwo intercommunicating tanks containing treating liquid. a valve for cutting oi communication between said tanks, and separate means for respectively causing circulation of liquid in said tanks.
  • a material treating machine comprising two intercommunicating tanks, a piping system including a pump for causing circulation of liquid in one of said tanks, a second piping system in-A cluding a pump for causing a circulation of liquid in the other tank, a pipe connected with the ldischarge of one of said pumps and forming a communication with the tank of the opposite pump, a. valve in said pipe for selectively controlling the discharge of said pump to one or the other of said tanks, and a valve for controlling communication between said tanks.
  • a material treating machine comprising the combination of two tanks containing treating liquid, material supports respectively above the liquid ⁇ i1. said tanks, liquid spraying devices associated with said supports, a pump having a discharge communicating with both of said tanks and with one of said material supports, a valve for selectively controlling said discharge for causing a circulation through all of said tanks, or through one of said tanks, or through said support, a pump arranged to cause a circulation of liquid through one of said tanks and through the material support of tlat tank, and a valve for selectively controlling the discharge from said last pump.
