Abstract
Abstract This invention is directed to a machine for compressively longitudinally shrinking a continuously advancing woven textile web and simultaneously ironing one face thereof and includes an endless rubber belt carried on a pair of parallel rolls (one of which is driven) and an idler roll parallel thereto. An oscillatory arcuate segment is interposed between the rolls and displaces the belt toward the idler roll. Preferably, the segment, which may be heated, is oscillated through a small amplitude more rapidly in the machine direction than in the opposite direction.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
30 words
The machine of claim 1 in which said oscillating means is a quick-return mechanism that oscillates said oscillatable member more rapidly in the machine direction than in the reverse direction.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
36 words
The machine of claim 1 in which the amplitude of oscillation of said oscillatable member is on the order of 2* and the frequency of oscillation thereof is on the order of 300-400 cycles per minute.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The machine of claim 3 in which the linear speed of said belt is variable between about 15 and 150 yards per minute.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The machine of claim 1 in which the linear speed of said belt is variable between about 15 and 150 yards per minute.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
The machine of claim 1 in which the arcuate face of said oscillatable member is smooth and in which said endless belt is rubber.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
