| (54) | Apparatus for dry treatment of a fabric |
| (57) In the apparatus a fabric (4) disposed open width is caused to move between an infeed
supply (6) and an outfeed supply (22) through a duct (38) in which currents of air
flow at an appropriate temperature causing the said alternate movement. The infeed
supply (6) is produced by a slow infeed of the fabric and the outfeed supply (22)
by a slow withdrawal thereof. The apparatus comprises chambers (2, 20) for the said
supplies (6, 22) and a blowing means (52) and heating element (88) for the air flow,
as well as an automatic air flow reversing device (82, 84), without undesirable stretching
of the fabric occurring at any time of the process. |
