APPARAT TIL OVER EN VIS TID UDSTRAKT BEHANDLING AF EN TEKSTILBANE

Apparatus for treating textile webs in a treatment fluid such that the material lingers in the treatment fluid for a period of time, in which a support bottom in the form of a trough extending transverse to the textile web and a swinging or oscillating member, having the same curvature as the trough, freely suspended at an eccentric and rotated about an axis parallel to the trough with the direction of the rotation the same as that of the travel direction of the textile web through the trough, form a channel at the beginning of which the textile web is placed in transversal folds and at the end of which the web is drawn off, all of the channel being situated below the fluid level thereby resulting in an improved rinsing action as the web is moved through the channel with the oscillating member aiding in both the rinsing action and in moving the web of material through the channel.
