ABSTRACT:
An improved method and apparatus for dyeing a pile fabric web to produce very novel and distinctive multicolored designs is disclosed. In the practice of the invention a plurality of dyes are applied to a moving pile fabric web with each color or dye being applied as separate, individual streams at varying points along a line traverse of the moving web. The apparatus comprises a pair of identical, opposed dye applicators mounted above a moving web with each applicator unit including a dye holding tray; a dye pickup roll mounted within the tray; a doctor blade mounted adjacent the pickup roll for removing a layer of dye from the roll; a plurality of channels mounted on, or formed integral with, the doctor blade and which divide the dye into separate streams or drippings, each of said channels having a discharge zone for discharging the separate dye streams or drippings; plug means for blocking the flow of dye through preselected ones of said channels whereby preselected streams of dye are blocked from the discharge zone; and means mounted immediately above each of said channels for selectively dispersing a further dye or dyes at points adjacent the discharge zones of the channels which are blocked out by the plug means. In this manner, a plurality of dye streams are applied to the moving web at separate points along an area or a line transverse of the moving web. The apparatus further includes interruptor elements mounted below the discharge zone of the channels to interrupt the continuous flow of the separate dye streams or drippings.
