Abstract
An apparatus for supplying liquid to an elongated liquid reservoir in a uniform manner over the length of reservoir comprises a trough, extending transversely over the width of a continuous fabric web, into which a liquid is poured from above, and a feed pipe extending longitudinally along the trough. Short, identically formed, curved tubes are uniformly distributed over the length of the feed pipe and arranged to extend transversely therefrom. The liquid is supplied over the length of the liquid reservoir from the short tubes disposed at a plurality of sites along the reservoir. The cross sectional area of the feed pipe may be significantly greater than the total cross sectional of all of the curved tubes to prevent a significant pressure drop.
