<p>For the fixation of dyes and other chemicals in textile fibres, however formed or combined, it is proposed continuously to convey such fibres through a closely confining tube located between electrodes by which a radio frequency energy field is created in the tube, the packing of the tube with such fibres being sufficiently dense as to ensure that, when heated by the energy field, the tube and its contents form a partially self-sealing pressure chamber whereby the rate of reaction of the dye or chemical on the fibres is accelerated. Various embodiments of the apparatus for the performance of such a fixation process of fibres of different forms and combinations are also envisaged.</p> |
