In the case of common trough mangles (1) used for the smoothing and drying of wet laundry pieces (11) wherein the hollow rollers (2) provided with roller wrappings (3) are only partially surrounded by heated pressing troughs (4, 5), a considerable amount of energy is wasted due to the absorption of cooler room air. In order to eliminate the cause of this deficiency, the invention proposes to cover the free area of the hollow roller (2) with a hood (6), whose rims (9) are sealed against the roller wrapping (3). The exhaust (8) of the steam is removed directly from the hood (6). This way, inside the hood (6) clean saturated steam is obtained and superheated, when the absorption from the hood (6) takes place in counterflow with regard to the travel of the laundry pieces (11). This superheated saturated steam is especially suitable as operating means for washing machines or the like. |

An improved process for dyeing carpet by intermittently moving the carpet along a path having horizontal and vertical portions. The horizontal portion of the path is immersed in a print form having compartments separated by thin walls and filled with liquid dyes of varying colors, to impart a desired pattern to the fabric. After the horizontal portion of the fabric is withdrawn from the print form, the fabric is moved along its path so that the immersed portion is moved along the vertical portion of the path. A vacuum slot along the vertical portion of the path adjacent the horizontal portion is activated only while the carpet is in motion, and serves to draw the dye toward the backing of the carpet while removing excess dye therefrom. Thereafter the carpet is steamed to set the dyes. |

A running fabric web is fed in flat tubular or openwidth form by means of an openwork conveyor belt below a battery of spray bars which apply a liquid such as a scouring solvent onto the fabric. The spray bars are provided with arcuate baffles which convert a spray discharge into a continuous sheet of liquid which pours onto the web. Excess liquid is then removed by a suction box disposed under the belt. A pair of tapered curtains trails along the top of the belt on either side thereof to cover the suction box slot beyond the edges of the fabric which forces the suction action through the fabric. The curtains are wound on a reefing roller by which the curtains may be selectively extended or retracted according to the width of the fabric being processed. The fabric is then delivered through a drying chamber where the material is dried and the excess solvent is recovered.

In air-through dryers for wet sheet-like material, such as paper, textiles, etc., the moist sheet-like material is passed adjacent a high velocity air hood so as to be subjected to an air pressure differential across the same. Thus, heated or unheated air is caused to be engaged against one side of the sheet-like material and pass therethrough to the other side thereof to remove moisture from such sheet-like material as the air passes therethrough, such moisture being removed by a pushing out of the moisture by the air, by air entrainment and/or by adiabatic evaporation. A belt means of this invention comprising a perforated flexible wall carrying a felt, fabric or other similar material on one side thereof is utilized in a manner to engage against the moist sheet-like material to compress the same during the passage of air through the perforated flexible wall and through the moist sheet-like material to assist in the water removal thereof by either tending to cause the porosity of the drying sheet-like material to remain substantially constant so that an optimum substantially constant air flow passes therethrough or to cause a greater air flow rate through the wetter portions of said sheet-like material than through the drier portions thereof.

Apparatus for continuously scouring and blooming an advancing pile carpet includes facilities for first wetting the pile side of the carpet with a hot water spray, and then immersing the carpet in a first tank containing hot water. The carpet is then advanced past a high pressure spray positioned above the first tank which directs a high impact spray at the pile to remove the finish on the pile and provide the initial blooming or bulk development of the yarn. The carpet then passes through a second tank containing hot water and past a final spray which rinses away any residual finish and provides the final blooming. Water to supply the high pressure spray is pumped from the second tank. The first and second tanks are interconnected so that water can flow from the first tank into the second tank to supply the pump. Facilities are also provided to remove the finish from the water in the first tank.
