Device for the application of foam on textile webs
First Claim
1. A device for the application of a liquid treating bath in the form of a foam onto flat textile materials comprising, a storage vessel for containing liquor to be foamed, mixing chamber means for producing foam from said liquor, a first pipeline connecting said storage vessel to said mixing chamber means for supplying liquor to the mixing chamber means, a second pipeline connected to said mixing chamber means for supplying air under pressure to said mixing chamber means;
- means in each pipeline for respectively measuring the amount of liquor and air flowing therein, and reducing valves respectively connected to said pipelines for respectively controlling liquor and air flow therethrough.a foam distributing and supplying chamber, a third pipeline connecting said mixing chamber means to said distributing chamber to supply foam to the distributing chamber;
said distributing chamber having an open rectangular base through which the foam is discharged;
said base having a pair of parallely extending long sides and a pair of parallely extending short sides adjacent said open base;
a doctor blade adjustably mounted on said base along one of said long sides;
a plurality of laterally staggered vertically spaced, overlapping baffle plates mounted in said distributing chamber;
a pair of movably mounted spaced side plates in said distributing chamber extending generally perpendicularly to said one long side defining a variable foam discharge opening from the distributing chamber, and means below said distributing chamber and said foam discharge opening for supporting and transporting a textile web below said foam discharge opening to allow application of the foam to the web.

Abstract
Device for the uniform application of liquid treating baths in the form of foam onto textile flat materials, consisting essentially of (a) elements for foaming the liquor under pressure, by a pipe-line for the foam linked to (b) a foam distributing and foam applying chamber, and immediately below, but not directly limited therewith, (c) elements for supporting and transporting the textile web in open width of the material.

5. A device for the application of a liquid treating bath in the form of a foam onto flat textile materials comprising, a liquid storage vessel, mixing chamber means communicating with said storage vessel to receive liquid therefrom, means for forming foam from said liquid in said mixing chamber, a foam distributing chamber associated with said mixing chamber for receiving foam therefrom and including an open lower end, a doctor blade mounted on said distributing chamber along said lower end thereof, a plurality of laterally staggered vertically spaced overlapping baffle plates mounted in said distributing chamber above said lower end for receiving foam from the mixing chamber and distributing the foam within the distributing chamber;
- means in said distributing chamber for defining a variably dimensioned foam discharge opening at said lower open end of the distributing chamber; and
means located below said discharge opening for supporting and transporting a textile web below said foam discharge opening to allow application of foam to the web.
- means in said distributing chamber for defining a variably dimensioned foam discharge opening at said lower open end of the distributing chamber; and
