rinsing section 14 in an otherwise conventional indigo dye range such as that shown in fig1 thus the washing rinsing section 114 will receive one or more textile yarn ropes 20 typically a plurality of such ropes each of an elongate extended indeterminate length traveling lengthwise in side by side slightly spaced apart relationship as delivered from the dyeing section 12 the incoming ropes 20 are directed into the first rinsing apparatus 132 and trained in serpentine fashion about the guide rollers 164 within its collection vessel 162 from the last guide roller 164 the ropes 20 are directed into the lower end 148 of the channel 146 and then upwardly through the full length of the channel 146 of the containment structure 140 to travel across and in contact with or at least close proximity to the series of undulations 152 with the ropes 20 exiting the upper end 150 of the channel 146 and proceeding immediately into the nip between the nip rollers 160 as the ropes 20 progress in this path of travel water from the weir 156 continuously counter flows gravitationally downwardly through the channel 146 against the upwardly moving ropes 20 to rinse the portion of the length of each rope 20 transiently advancing upwardly through the channel 146 as the wetted ropes 20 pass between the nip rollers 160 the ropes 20 are squeezed by the rollers 160 causing the water squeezed from the ropes 20 to fall gravitationally into the upper end of the channel 146 the collection vessel 162 collects the downward flow of water exiting the lower end 148 of the channel 146 and exhausts the collected water via an.
