Abstract

A continuous method of rapidly and uniformly treating textile fabrics in an endless loop configuration. The endless loop is continuously advanced longitudinally so that runs advance successively through a residence bath, for wet treatment in a treating liquor, contained in a partially filled elongated, tubular vessel and increasing gradually in depth in the direction in which the textile fabric is advanced in zigzag form. Suction is taken on the residence bath for piling control of the textile fabric therein and to develop a jet flow of treating liquor therefrom flowed in an enclosed path outside of the residence bath through which the textile fabric is rapidly transferred substantially zigzag free from one end of the residence bath and back to the other immersed in the jet flow liquor as the treating liquor is recirculated by return to the residence bath. The jet flow treating liquor is discharged from the enclosed path to a level above the level of the residence bath and it and accompanying textile fabric are deflected by a deflector panel adjustably set inclined relative to the horizontal, in dependence upon the textile material of the fabric for beating and relaxing the textile material. The textile fabric is deflected back into the residence bath with improved controlled compaction and proper piling thereof for advancing smoothly in the residence bath. Textile fabric and jet flow are directed onto a guide path having a plate onto which the textile fabric falls and extending inclined into the residence bath and having side plates for smooth guidance of the advancing textile fabric.
