Apparatus for treating textile webs in a treatment fluid such that the material lingers in the treatment fluid for a period of time, in which a support bottom in the form of a trough extending transverse to the textile web and a swinging or oscillating member, having the same curvature as the trough, freely suspended at an eccentric and rotated about an axis parallel to the trough with the direction of the rotation the same as that of the travel direction of the textile web through the trough, form a channel at the beginning of which the textile web is placed in transversal folds and at the end of which the web is drawn off, all of the channel being situated below the fluid level thereby resulting in an improved rinsing action as the web is moved through the channel with the oscillating member aiding in both the rinsing action and in moving the web of material through the channel.

Apparatus for the lingering treatment of textile webs

An apparatus and process are described herein for positioning the pile threads found on textile webs manufactured from synthetic fibers which become pliable upon exposure to heat. Means are provided for first routing the textile web through heating means which generally would be a hot water bath. The pile threads are softened by the heat of the hot water bath and become sufficiently pliable as to enable them to assume any position. Because of their buoyancy in water the pile threads tend to orientate themselves perpendicular to the web backing. In order to maintain the pile threads perpendicular until given a chance to cool, the web is removed from the heating apparatus in substantially a horizontal plane. Suction means are provided to cool the textile web as it leaves the heating portion of the apparatus thereby speeding up the set time of the piles. The suction means can also be used to remove a substantial portion of the hot water saturating the textile web. The water can be returned to the hot water bath for reuse.
