DEFINITION

Classification: 68/147

Textile treating machines wherein the treatment is effect solely by reason of relative movement between the textiles being treated and a liquid.

(1) Note. See definition of liquid flowing in the main class definition of this class.

(2) Note. The textile may be repeatedly dipped in a bath or passed therethrough in a continuous process of feeding the textile into a bath, treating it in the bath and removing the textile from the bath, or there may be a movement of the textile in a liquid bath, the movement being created by gaseous currents. There may be elements affixed to the interior of the textile-carrying receptacle to effect a scrubbing action on the textile material as it is sloshed about.

(3) Note. Patents wherein the treatment of textiles is effected by reason of the textiles falling from height and impacting against an abutment, as within a tumbler, are excluded from this subclass and the indented subclasses, and will be found for the most part in subclasses 139+, and in the combined operations subclasses.
