To.- all whom 'it may concern:

Be. it known that I, JOSEPH Hessens, a citizen of the United States,v residing at Camden,A NewJersey, have invented certain Improvementsin Dyeing-Mashines,v ofv which the. following isY a specification.

My invention relates` to certain improvein dyeing-machines, for which Letters Patent were granted tome on theth day of A pril, 1901.,'nurnbered 671,799.

TheY object of my presentv invention is to so construct; the. niachine that it will be unnecin dyeing certain classes of yarn to turn the dye-sticks so as t'o-shift the yarn. 16

Theisgohject Il attain byY reversing the direction of the iiow of the. dye-liquor. in the as fully described hereinafter.

vet', so that whenthe iiow is in one direction the uppg' po''tionsot theyarn will be pressed upon! t sticks and when the iiowof liquor is reversed the yarn will be lifted off the sticks,

In the accompanying drawingsfFigurel is. a'long-itudinal section of aV portion of my' .improved dyeing-machine on the line 1 1, Fig. 2; Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2f, Fig. 1, ef onesid'e ol; the vat and illustrating the iow ali-'liquor in one direction. Fig. 3 is a transsection #on the same line as Fig. 2,

showing .theopposite side of the vat, and also showing the iiow ot liquor in'the reverse direction to that shown in Fig. 2. Figj4 is a transverse section on the line 4 4, Fig. 1*. Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5 5 Fig. 4, Fig. 6

vtwo. in the present Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a portion of the lower screen. Y

' 1in. the specic embodiment of my invenin the drawings, A is the dye-vat,

thebody of which is made in the ordinary Thisvat, as described in my f ormer patent, has a .vertical partition a, which forms a circulating-compartment A" and a compartment A', which is placedthe yarn the.'circulating-compartment A is a transversepartition a', vhaving openings (1finstance-and in each of the openings is' mounted a. circulating wheel propeller B, carried by a vertical shaft B mounted in bearings d in theframe DT. This p frame is supported on transverse beams. C.

.in Fig. 6. l

On the upper end of each shaft B is a bevel Wheel b.

E is the driving-snafu, having a sprocketwheel e inthe present instance, around which passes the drive-chain from any suitable power-shaft. In some instances in place of thesprocket-Wheel a belt-pulley may be used without departing from my invention.

The driving-shaft E'is arranged to slide longitudinally in its bearings d on the frame D and carries at each end two bevel-wheels v ez, which are arranged to mesh with the bevel-wheels b on the vertical shafts B.

Secured `to the shaft E is a sleevef, having an annular groove, and inthis groove is a rin f to which is attached the forked end j" of the shifting lever F, which is -pivoted at f3 to the frame D. The opposite endof this shiftingleverl is slotted at fy for the reception` ofthe pin g, projecting from an arm g of a two-armed lever G. r1`he long arm g? of this lever is provided with a weight g3, as shown The lever G is mounted in bearings in the cross-bar d2 of the frame D, and the levers G and F are so proportioned that when the weighted arm gl is thrown in one position, as shown in Fig. .4, the shaft E will be shifted so that the bevel-wheels e will mesh with the bevel-wheels B on. the vertical shaft B", and the circulating-wheel B will be turned in one direction, causing the'liquor in Vthe vat to How in a certain direction.

When the arm gz is turned in the reverse position to that shown in Fig. 4, it will move the shaft E in the opposite direction, throwing the bevel-wheels c2 linto gear with the bevel-wheels b and throwing thel bevelwheels e out of gear, consequently reversing the circulating-wheels B and reversing the direction of iiow of the dye-liquor.

When it is desired to stop the iiow of liquor, the lever g2 is shifted lto the central p0- sition, so that neither of the bevel-wheels e I or e2 will mesh with the wheels b.

. in F 3, the hanksof yarn are lifted off the ously on the sticks, is thoroughly impreg-A nated with the dye liquor.

In order to hold the yarnin position in theV dye-vat, I construct 'the vat as follows:

H is the supporting-frame for the banks vpif yarn. This frame consists in the `present instance of transverse beams h, which rest.

upon the sides of the vat A, and these "beams are fastened to longitudinal beams h.- Projecting downwardly from the beams are brackets ha, to' which are attached theV side members h2, which are slotted for the reception of the yarn sticks i, said yarn-'sticks being made in the Vusual manner. Y

Iis a ried by the frame H and is for the purpose of checking the how of the liquor at the point nearest the `circulating chamber A. By slotting or perforating this partition I am enabled to insure the circulation of theli uor throughout the vat. This is fully desc in my prior patent.

When the direction of flow of the liquor is reversed, as shown in Fig. 3, the yarn would ioat up to this partition and closethe openings ot the perforations or slots, thus interfering with the free circulation of the liquor.

. To obviate this I place a partition J directlyunder thepartition I and support it on the frame Il in any suitable manner, and this partition is preferably made of wire having a Jlarge mesh, so that when the yarn is earned up against` this partition, as shown in Fig. l3, the yarn cannot clogthe mesh in the wire screen to such an extent as to interfere with the proper 'liow of the liquor. Thus the partition J keeps the yarn away from the partition I,

In the bottom of the vat is a partition K, supported' in any suitable manner. This partition is somewhat similar to the slattedy false floor of my former patent; but I preferably make it of a wide-mesh screen and. of.

' flat -wire of sufficient strength to support the yarn when the liquor flowingin the direction illustrated in Fig. 2. One form of thisv screen is shown in Fig. 7'.

Both the screen K and the screen J being made of metal are preferably coated with some material, such as enamel, which will not be affected by the dye liquor.

" The screens may be made in as many sections as desired, according to the size of the dye-vat.

When the liquor iowing the directionof the arrows, Fig. 2, the lower portions' of the hanks of yarn rest directly upon the'scren K, relieving the vsticks somewhat of the Weight of the yarn, so that the dye liquor can gain access more readily to vall the strands'of In orderto keep the vapor rising fromthe erforated or slotted partition car'Y hot liquor in the vat, I attach a cover H to;-`

the frame. boards, Ain the present instance placed across the frame and attached to the longitudinall This cover consists of a series of series of perforated steam-pipes m, placed in the circulating-chamber A directly under the partition a/, as in my former patent.

suitable position so as lto heatthe dye liquor to the proper degree. f

It will be seen that after the hanks of yarn varesuSpended from the sticks in the dye-vat vThese pipes, however, may beplaced in any ssh stance in the direction of the arrows, Fig. i 2-lowing over the partition I, through 'thef perforations in, the partition, down -through the vat, returning to the circulating-chamber A', causingl the yarn to rest upon the'lower partition l, thus relieving the sticks from considerable of the weight of the yarn -and opening the hanks suliiciently that A the liquor will penetrate throughout all p ortions or' the hanks, except possibly at the point where the yarn vbears portion-of the sticks.

When it is wishedto reverse the direction of flow of liquor, the mechanism is shifted so as tojreverse the direction of rotation of the eirculatingfwhecls B. The liquo'r will thenv rflow from the 'circulating-chamber A" under the partition-a up through the yarn-com-l partment A2. Thls upward iow of the liquor will cause the yarn to lift off the sticks,l as illustrated in Fig. 3, and practically float againstl the screen-partition J, so that thel dye liquor can readily gainacce'ss tov that portion of the 'yarn which wasresting previously Aon the sticks. Thus the yarn can be' directly upon the upper thoroughly dyed without the necessity s of* turning the sticks, as heretofore.

I claimV as my invention: -v i v l. The combination in a dyeing machine,
