Abstract
Apparatus for low liquid wet treatment of a textile material in various forms, such as lengths of fabric in rope form or yarn in skein form, through a treating chamber in the presence of a treatment liquid with the textile material being circulated through a predetermined path of treatment on oscillating support members in the form of parallel beams arranged in rows and caused to oscillate in an alternate manner in which alternate support members are driven through a raised support and movement path wherein the textile material is supported and moved forward thereon while intermediate support members are moved through a lowered return path out of supporting engagement with the textile material. While the textile material is being supported and moved by the support members, treatment liquid is applied by a system of horizontally opposed spray nozzles directed outwardly in a horizontally opposed manner such that the sprays collide, disrupting the spray pattern and causing the treatment liquid to fall as a mist onto the textile material passing thereunder.
