ABSTRACT:
A textile wet processing machine includes a processing chamber having an adjustable inner wall. The inner wall is adjustable to accommodate textile fabrics in cloth rope form having great variations in weight, texture, thickness, flexibility and load. The inner wall may be positioned at any position between a predetermined innermost position and a predetermined outermost position relative to the outer wall of the processing chamber. In a preferred embodiment, adjustment is accomplished by a pinion that is linearly movable on a rack. A connecting rod extends outwardly from the pinion. One end of the connecting rod is rotatably secured to the transverse shaft of the pinion and the other end of the connecting rod is secured to the inner wall. In an alternative embodiment, adjustment is accomplished by a linkage assembly that is rotatable about a transverse shaft. The linkage assembly includes a first rigid link that is fixed to and extends outwardly from the transverse shaft, and a second rigid link rotatably secured to the free end of the first rigid link at one end. The other end of the second rigid link is secured to the inner wall. A locking mechanism is provided for releasably retaining the inner wall in the desired position under the force of the cloth rope as it is circulated through the processing chamber.
