An installation for positioning and welding body parts of different types of motor vehicles. The installation includes a mounting frame (,) which is guided on a conveyor line and which has receiving elements for at least some vehicle body parts. Positioning devices (,) are provided for the vehicle body parts (,) and at least one robot is provided for carrying out welding work. The invention is very flexible in terms of product modifications. The mounting frame (,) has positioning devices for at least some vehicle body parts (,) and clamping devices for the vehicle body parts. An additional (lower) conveyor line (,) is located under the first conveyor (,). One of several auxiliary mounting frames (,) is guided on the additional conveyor line. Parking positions (,) for the auxiliary mounting frames (,) are provided next to the lower conveyor line (,). The auxiliary mounting frames (,) each have receiving elements for other vehicle body parts of different types of vehicles and devices for positioning and clamping with the mounting frame (,). A lifting device (,) is also provided for the auxiliary mounting frame (,).

A liquid, foam or paste treatment medium is applied to a textile or similar web as the web is led through a gap in which the web is pressed resiliently against an opposing face in an area extending over the width of the web with non-uniform pressure by, for example, several adjacent cushions that are independently inflatable. The non-uniform pressure serves primarily to achieve uniform treatment, in particular, uniform coloring, despite the non-uniform conditions existing over the web width. The non-uniform pressure may also be used for imprinting patterns on the web.

Method and device for imprinting webs

A device for applying a treatment medium, especially in foam form, to a running web of material, especially a rug web, with an application beam extending transversely to the web of material, the application beam having a longitudinal slot, through which the treatment medium emerges onto the web of material. On the side opposite the slot an elastic cushion which presses the web of material against the sliding surface of the application beam is arranged on the back of the web of material. The cushion may be an inflatable elastic hollow body or a foam material cushion.

Apparatus for applying foam onto continuously advancing webs of material in which several nozzles are provided which are connected to a foam distributor which comprises a chamber with foam outlets as well as a distribution rotor which rotates in the chamber and is in communication with a foam feed line directing the foam from the inside toward the foam outlets.

Apparatus for applying foam

A method and apparatus for applying a pattern to a continuously advancing web with a foam containing treatment medium. The pattern may be generated in the foam prior to or after the foam is transferred to the web. In one embodiment, the pattern is generated using two foam feeding devices arranged to form a patterned layer on a revolving element positioned over the web. The forward velocity of the web and the speed of rotation of the revolving element are controlled to obtain the desired pattern effect on the web.

In a device for the storage and reaction treatment of textile material in web form for continuous passage which includes a cylinder, a transporting device for transporting the textile material onto the surface of the cylinder in the circumferential direction thereof, a pleating device for pleating the textile material in several layers with folds parallel to the axis of the cylinder onto the top of the cylinder, a depositing device arranged underneath the cylinder, and a pulling off device for pulling the textile material off at a point following the lower crest of the cylinder in the travel direction, dissolving the folded layers, the velocities of the transporting device and the pleating device and the stroke of the pleating device are controlled such that the folded layers extend at least one-third on both sides of the upper crests of the cylinder and that the length of a folded layer from one fold to another fold is one-quarter to one-half of the cylinder circumference, and that the folded layers cover each other on at least two-thirds of their length.

Apparatus and method for storage and reaction treatment of textile

In a device for applying designs to advancing webs, particularly textile and similar webs, in which the design liquid is present, prior to application to the web, in the form of a film extending over the web in the width direction an air nozzle in the form of a tube extending across the web close to the film, the tube supported for rotation and for movement back and forth across the web, the tube having a plurality air outlet openings distributed over its surface, and supplied compressed air feed line is used to irregularize the film.
