ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for supporting a traveling web of knit fabric. The apparatus includes an uneven number of intermediate support rollers for supporting the knit fabric web as it travels between a padding device and a take up roll. The knit web fabric passes through a pair of squeeze rollers following pad dyeing thereof at the padding device and travels in trained relation in serpentine manner about the intermediate support rollers between the pair of squeeze rollers and the take up roll. In addition to supporting the knit fabric web to prevent undesired stretching or elongation of the still damp web as it travels from the padding device, the apparatus insures that the knit fabric web is disposed on the take up roll in such a manner that the edges, to the extent they are susceptible to curling, tend to curl in a radially inward direction with respect to the take up roll, whereby succeeding lengths of the knit fabric web taken up on the take up roll compress and straighten the curling edges. A support member is pivotally mounted to the frame of the padding device and the intermediate support rollers are each supported in pendant manner from the support member, thereby providing the apparatus with the flexibility to support the knit fabric web as it travels between the padding device and the take up rolls mounted at different heights with respect to the padding device.
