Abstract

Within the housing of a steamer there is arranged below a group of deflection rolls for the substantially zig-zag guiding of a textile web in a spread apart or open width condition a roll bed formed of rolls upon which the web, following its passage through the deflection rolls, is deposited in a folded or plaited condition by means of a rod roll and can be further transported. So that the web can be subjected to a short time treatment, within the same steamer, without using the roll bed, and thus, can be adequately supported in the sense of guiding the web in open width, one roll, even possibly a number of rolls, of the roll bed can be pivoted out of the region of the roll bed in order to assume a second work or operating position which supports the web guided in an open width or spread apart condition through the entire steamer. This pivotable roll is mounted at one end of a lever of a lever pair or lever means which can be pivoted about a shaft from externally of the steamer housing.
