11 in the random pattern of cavities 24 in drum 15 as shown in fig1 and 3 liquid conducting means 38 44 and 45 conduct dye into trough forming means 33 42 and 43 respectively for example dye 39 which is collected in trough forming means 33 is distributed into the cavities 24 in surface 31 of drum 16 as drum 16 rotates past wiper blade 32 wiper blade 32 functions to prevent any of dye 39 from passing below the intersection between wiper blade 32 and surface 31 of drum 16 except for the quantity of dye 39 which fills cavities 24 the dye 39 which fills cavities 24 passes below wiper blade 32 and is thrown down onto carpet pile 13 both by gravity and the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of drum 16 a similar effect occurs with regard to drums 17 and 18 the end result is similar to other types of space dyeing apparatus but the result is accomplished in a simpler and more economically feasible manner specifically the pattern which is attainable is readily controlled by controlling the depths sizes and shapes of the cavities 24 in drums 16 18 by controlling the speeds of rotation of drums 16 18 which speeds may be the same or different by controlling the speed of carpet 11 through apparatus 10 and by controlling the distance between carpet 11 and drums 16 18 as mentioned previously the operation of drums 17 and 18 is the same as that described above with respect to drum 16 furthermore three drums are shown for illlustration purposes only any number of drums being possible the use of multiple drums allows for different cavity shapes and sizes and different dye colors the rotary speeds.
