Abstract
Abstract 1. Apparatus for dyeing a continuously traveling textile breadth, comprising means for guiding the breadth through a nonvertical path, means spaced above said path for dispensing a row of interspaced low-speed dye liquid jets towards this path, said row extending transversely with respect to said path, and mechanical means for effecting dispersions of said jets into individual dye liquid droplets falling on said path.
