Dyeing autoclave for textile materials

Abstract

Dyeing autoclave for dyeing textile materials, comprising a substantially cylindrical main body ( 1 ), in which a dyeing chamber ( 10 ) is formed, adapted for containing a dyeing bath and textile materials to be dyed. On the main body ( 1 ) a lid ( 2 ) is provided for opening/closing an upper access mouth ( 10 M) of the dyeing chamber ( 10 ). The lid ( 2 ) is moved in the opening and closing positions of said mouth ( 10 M) by means of an actuator ( 3 ) that controls the movement of the lid ( 2 ) along a direction (F) parallel to the access mouth ( 10 M) between the open position and the closed position controlled by said actuator ( 3 ).

1 . Dyeing autoclave for dyeing textile materials, comprising a substantially cylindrical main body ( 1 ), in which a dyeing chamber ( 10 ) is formed adapted for containing a dyeing bath and textile materials to be dyed, characterized in that on the main body ( 1 ) a lid ( 2 ) is provided for opening/closing an upper access mouth ( 10 M) of the dyeing chamber ( 10 ), and in that the lid ( 2 ) is moved in the opening and closing positions of said mouth ( 10 M) by means of an actuator ( 3 ) that controls the movement of the lid ( 2 ) along a direction (F) parallel to the access mouth ( 10 M) between the open position and the closed position controlled by said actuator ( 3 ). 
     
     
         2 . Dyeing autoclave according to  claim 1  characterized in that said actuator ( 3 ) is constrained to an external face ( 20 ) of the lid ( 2 ). 
     
     
         3 . Dyeing autoclave according to  claim 1  characterized in that an expandable gasket ( 5 ) is provided on the access mouth ( 10 M). 
     
     
         4 . Dyeing autoclave according to claim  4  characterized by the fact that said gasket ( 5 ) is an expandable gasket with an air chamber connected to means ( 50 ,  51 ) adapted to control the introduction of compressed air inside it to pressurize it and respectively the extraction of compressed air from its interior to depressurize it. 
     
     
         5 . Dyeing autoclave according to  claim 1  characterized in that the lid ( 2 ) has a recess ( 22 ) shaped so as to be able to receive inside it an appendage ( 13 ) of the main body ( 1 ) formed in correspondence with the access mouth ( 10 M). 
     
     
         6 . Dyeing autoclave according to  claim 5  characterized in that said recess ( 22 ) is formed on a lower appendix ( 21 ) of the lid ( 2 ). 
     
     
         7 . Dyeing autoclave according to  claim 1  characterized in that the main body ( 1 ) has a seat ( 15 ) intended to receive inside it a free end portion ( 21 ) of the lid ( 2 ). 
     
     
         8 . Dyeing autoclave according to  claim 1  characterized in that said direction (F) is horizontal. 
     
     
         9 . Dyeing autoclave according to  claim 1  characterized in that the actuator ( 3 ) that controls the opening/closing of the lid ( 2 ) is a piston having the respective skirt ( 30 ) integral with an upper face ( 20 ) of the lid ( 2 ) and the stem ( 31 ) anchored to a fixed structure ( 32 ).
