Latest Patents
Method for Coloring Textile Using a Color Supply Drum and a Color Suction Drum. This invention describes a method for forming stripe patterns directly on textile substrates, such as sliver. A rotating color-supply hollow drum and a color-suction hollow drum feed the fibrous material between them. Color composition passes through grooves in the supply drum and is drawn by suction through the substrate, creating stripes that correspond to the groove patterns. The approach is intended to avoid using a gill that could impede high-speed feeding and reduce coloration efficiency.
Apparatus for Coloring Textile Materials. This patent describes equipment that uses vertically juxtaposed color-supply and color-suction hollow drums to continuously feed fibrous material and apply color. Grooves in the supply drum deliver the color composition, while suction through grooves in the opposing drum draws the color through the substrate. The process forms stripes directly on the textile material and is designed to support efficient, high-speed operation.
Career Highlights
Kitamura’s listed patents address direct textile coloration, with an emphasis on forming stripes while continuously feeding fibrous material. The inventions describe drum-based systems intended to improve the efficiency of the coloring process.
Collaborations
The provided information lists Michinobu Kaimori and Toru Koide as Kitamura’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patents or the nature of their collaboration.
Conclusion
Kenji Kitamura’s two listed patents focus on drum-based methods and apparatus for applying stripe patterns to textiles, combining continuous material feeding with direct color application.
