Both the description and the drawings have to be considered as purely illustrative and without any restrictive scope with. respect to the breadth of the legal protection applied for. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal section of one example of an apparatus in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 taken on the line IIII.
FIG. 3 is a further cross sectional view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 taken on the line llllll.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION With reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 the apparatus comprises a cylindrical horizontal hermetically sealed vessel 1 having a lid 2 for loading and unloading purposes. Inside the vessel there is a transverse wall 3 dividing the lower portion of said vessel 1 into a first, relatively small, pumping compartment 4 and a second, relatively large, compartment 5 which contains the major portion of the treatment liquid 6. Within the second compartment 5 there is a longitudinal wall 7, hav ing perforations for passage of the liquid and dividing said second compartment 5 into a lower subcompartment 8 and an upper subcompartment 9 through which the cloth l0 to be treated circulates on its return run. The longitudinal wall 7, together with a central perforated wall ll, two lateral walls 12 and 13 and an end wall 14 form two longitudinal treatment vessels within which the cloth 10 to be treated moves on its return run. At the top of the pumping compartment 4 there is a header section 15 separated from the main body by a perforated wall 16 and having two ports 17 feeding into two rectangular section transport ducts 18 which extend below the longitudinal wall 7 and feed into the upper subcompartment 9 through ports 19. Supported and driven along by a winch 20, there are two endless ropes of cloth 10 to be treated which wrap the winch 20, pass through the transport ducts 18 and return in the upper subcompartment 9. The winch 20 is horizontal and transversally disposed in the vessel 1 and has a drive shaft 21 having speed control means not shown in the drawings. Said winch 20 is positioned close to the level of the treatment liquid 6 in the upper subcompartment 9 and below the level of the pumping compartment 4 so that the cloth 10 to be treated enters the transport duct 18 almost tangentially, whereby the tension of the cloth 10 in the region of the winch 20 is min-v imal.
At the bottom of the vessel 1, in a hole in the transverse wall 3, there is a liquid pumping member 22 which causes the treatment liquid to flow from the lower subcompartment 8 to the pumping compartment 4. This liquid pumping member 22 comprises a pump having drive means 23 fitted with a speed control device not illustrated in the drawings. Within the pumping compartment 4 there is a heat exchanger means 24 having heat exchange tubes through which steam or cold water may be passed to heat or cool respectively the treatment liquid 6.
The apparatus described above operates as follows: the treatment liquid 6, which is distributed between the pumping compartment 4 and the second compartment 5, is pumped by the pumping member 22 from said second compartment 5 towards the pumping compartment 4. This creates a difference of levels of the treatment liquid 6 between the pumping compartment 4, which has the liquid at a higher level, and the second compartment 5, which has the liquid at a lower level. The treatment liquid 6 in the pumping compartment 4 passes through the perforated wall 16, fills the header section 15 and flows out through the port 17 into the transport duct 18, pulling along the endless rope of cloth which is also fed by the winch 20 turning in the direction indicated by the arrow in the drawing in such a way that it pulls the cloth 10 out of the upper subcompartment 9 and feeds it into the transport duct 18. Pulled along by the treatment liquid, the cloth 10 moves first inside the transport duct 18, which it leaves through port 19 to return along the upper subcompartment 9. By adjusting the speeds of the pumping member 22 and the winch 20, the endless rope of cloth 10 is made to circulate quickly and smoothly, without abnormal tensions and without undesirable accumulations being produced.
With reference to FIGS. 4 5 and 6 which show a variation of the apparatus described above the same parts bear the same reference characters. in this arrangement, the winch 20' is positioned rather higher and is above the level of the treatment liquid 6 in the pumping compartment 4. The endless rope of cloth 10 enters the port 17 of the transport duct 18 directly instead of almost tangentially. A further feature of this variation is that in the upper portion of the upper subcompartment 9 there is a longitudinal wall 25 which is positioned slightly. below the level of the treatment liquid 6 in the second compartment 5 and which prevents the endless rope of cloth 10 from rising above the level ofthe treatment liquid 6.
The apparatus operates in a similar fashion to that described above. The cloth 10 is pulled along by the current of treatment liquid 6 which flows from the header section of the pumping chamber 4 to the 7 port 17 of the transport duct 18. The characteristics of the movement are also adjusted by adjusting the speeds of the pumping member 22 and winch The upper longitudinal wall 25 prevents the cloth 10 from rising to the surface of the treatment liquid during the return run, thereby affording greater uniformity of treatment.
Having conveniently described the two examples of embodiments of the present inventiomit is stated that they are illustrative and not limitative and that all variations of detail as experience and practice, may advise may be applied provided that thereby they do not mod ify the essence of the invention as resumed and defined in the following claims.
