A device for applying a foamed treating material under pressure to a traveling sheet of relatively incompressible textile yarns. A foam applicator unit has a nozzle with a foam dispensing slot facing across one side of the traveling sheet of yarns. A drive roll faces the other side of the traveling sheet of yarns in tangential alignment with the foam dispensing slot. The roll has a resiliently compressible, soft rubber outer layer, which compresses to conform with the surface of the relatively incompressible yarns and presses the traveling sheet of yarns against the applicator surfaces leading to and away from the slot to prevent escape of foam and to prevent passage of foam between yarns to maintain uniform distribution of foam applied to the traveling sheet of yarns.

A textile steamer is disclosed which is adapted for use in association with a continuous dyeing, scouring, bleaching, or other textile processing operation. The steamer includes at least two vertical rows of fabric guide rollers such that the fabric may be threaded onto the rollers along generally horizontal runs. In addition, a water spray system is provided which is designed to avoid the necessity of having an operator enter the steamer to effect cleaning, and which also avoids the risk of having condensed water dripping from the water spray system onto the runs of the fabric. The water spray system includes vertical rows of water delivery pipes positioned parallel to and laterally outside of the rows of fabric guide rollers, and each of the pipes includes a plurality of nozzles for directing a water spray onto the full length of the adjacent guide rollers. Since the water pipes and nozzles are positioned laterally outside of the guide rollers, there is no risk of water dripping from the pipes or nozzles onto the runs of fabric.

Textile steaming apparatus

A method and apparatus for washing running length textile fabric in open width, in which fabric advances generally upwardly through a washing chamber and along a sinuous path having a plurality of substantially planar runs inclined at an angle to the horizontal while wash water cascades downwardly on the fabric. The wash water cascades from one to another of a plurality of trays in such a manner as to bring fabric being washed into contact with progressively cleaner water as the fabric is being progressively cleaned.
