Abstract
Abstract A liquid receptacle in the form of a chamber has a slit in one section thereof, the elongated sides of the slit being parallel straight lines. The chamber communicates through another section thereof with means for the supply thereto of a liquid treating composition at a controlled rate. Guide means configures a traveling multi-filament textile yarn in a close-packed monofilamentary layer and directs the so-configured traveling textile yarn under a desired tension and at a right angle over the slit and in contact with the chamber at a point downstream of the slit and in proximity thereto. The minimum length of the slit is equal to the total width of the traveling textile yarn when configured in a close-packed monofilamentary layer; and the width of the slit is between about 0.001 and 0.01 inches.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
167 words
A device for the application of a liquid treating composition uniformly over the width and along the length of a traveling textile yarn comprising a plurality of individual filaments, which device comprises: (a) a liquid receptacle in the form of a chamber having a slit in one section thereof, the elongated sides of the slit being parallel straight lines substantially perpendicular to the path of the traveling textile yarn, the chamber communicating through another section thereof with means for the supply thereto of the liquid treating composition at a controlled rate; the slit having a minimum length equal to the total width of the traveling textile yarn when configured in a close-packed monofilamentary layer; the slit having a width of between 0.001 and 0.01 inches; and (b) guide means for configuring the traveling textile yarn in a closed-packed monofilamentary layer and directing the so-configured traveling textile yarn over the slit and in contact with the chamber at a point downstream of the slit and in proximity thereto.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
167 words
A device for the application of a liquid treating composition uniformly over the width and along the length of a traveling textile yarn comprising a plurality of individual filaments, which device comprises: (a) a liquid receptacle in the form of a chamber having a slit in one section thereof, the elongated sides of the slit being parallel straight lines substantially perpendicular to the path of the traveling textile yarn, the chamber communicating through another section thereof with means for the supply thereto of the liquid treating composition at a controlled rate; the slit having a minimum length equal to the total width of the traveling textile yarn when configured in a close-packed monofilamentary layer; the slit having a width of between 0.001 and 0.01 inches; and (b) guide means for configuring the traveling textile yarn in a closed-packed monofilamentary layer and directing the so-configured traveling textile yarn over the slit and in contact with the chamber at a point downstream of the slit and in proximity thereto.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
58 words
The device of claim 1, wherein the guide means comprises a pair of cooperating stationary spools, a spool being located on each side of the chamber in propinquity thereto, the spool on the upstream side of the chamber having a cylindrical contact surface, and the spool on the downstream side of the chamber having an arcuate contact surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The device of claim 2, wherein the chamber and the pair of cooperating spools are fabricated from a wear-resistant material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
The device of claim 3, wherein the wear-resistant material is a ceramic composition.
