Improved apparatus for coating cords which may have knots or other enlargements in them, having means for detecting knots and means for increasing the effective size of the entrance for cord to the coating chamber to allow the knots to enter.

Knot passing coating apparatus

A compact arrangement of electromagnetically operated valves utilized for controlling the flow of deflecting air in a dye jet printing apparatus, and wherein the valves are mounted on a plurality of supporting cards and are positioned in a geometric lattice thereon so that the magnetic field created in each valve during its operation intersects the magnetic axis of its adjacent valves at a generally right angle thereby minimizing interference between valves during their operation.

Dyeing and printing of materials

Apparatus to apply dyestuff to a moving sheet of fabric which employs a unique construction of dye applicator or gun constructed basically in two clam shell sections with the clam shell sections being made in sets for ease of adjustment and installation. The dye applicator or gun includes a multiplicity of dye jets made by grooving each of the clam shell sections, mating the sections and then drilling the grooves to the proper size.

Method of making an apparatus for dyeing and printing of materials

An endless reinforcement comprising a unitary strip positioned across the width of the reinforcement from one side to the other at an angle to the edges of the reinforcement, the unitary strip including a multiplicity of continuous filaments surrounded and separated by rubber disposed in a contiguous undulating relationship throughout the length of the strip. Also, apparatus for forming a unitary strip including interdigitating gripper means arranged in an oval path, means for advancing the gripper means around the oval path, and means for increasing the degree of interdigitation of the gripper means during a portion of their advancement around the oval path.

Endless reinforcement

Apparatus to apply dyes to a moving sheet of material to print the same which employs dye applicator gun bars constructed to facilitate and maintain accurate alignment of the applicator jets of the gun bars across the length of the bars wherein the fluid supplying manifolds for the jets are incorporated to provide structural support and stability to the applicator system.

Apparatus for dyeing and printing materials

Apparatus to apply dyes to a moving material to print the same which employs dye applicator gun bars to direct a plurality of streams of dye onto the moving material, and means for deflecting certain of the streams for dye in a predetermined sequence to impart a pattern to the material, and wherein adjustable collection means are provided for receiving the deflected streams of dye to facilitate the accurate printing of the material.

Apparatus for dyeing and printing materials having improved dye

Apparatus for positioning a continuous strip on a movable support surface in a zigzag pattern including a traversing guide member having a slot passage disposed longitudinally of the movement of the support surface, means for reducing friction in the slot passage of the guide member, and positioning means between the guide member and the support surface movable into the path of the strip at the ends of each traverse to form the reversals of the zigzag pattern.

Apparatus for guiding a strip to a support surface

Apparatus to apply dyes to a moving material to print the same which employs dye applicator gun bars to direct a plurality of streams of dye onto the moving sheet in a predetermined pattern, and wherein means are provided for accurately positioning and adjusting the gun bars on their support frame to facilitate accurate placement of the dye streams on the moving material during the printing operation.

Apparatus for dyeing and printing materials having improved means for

Apparatus to collect and separate dye from a dye mist so that the dye may be recirculated to the dye system and the air system will become uncontaminated with dye particles.
