METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADJUSTING THE RELATIVE MOVEMENT BETWEEN FLOCKING FIBERS AND FLOCKED OBJECTS

摘要

A method and apparatus for adjusting the relative movement between flocked fibers and an object to be flocked is disclosed. Fibers move along a curved or arcuate path which includes both vertical and horizontal movement of the fibers from a flocking machine to the object to be flocked. The method improves the flocking process quality and increases production speed and output.

主权项

1. A method for flocking moving objects, the method comprising:
providing flocking fibers with inertia and movement in a longitudinal, machine direction, so the difference between a longitudinal speed of a moving object to be flocked and a longitudinal speed of the flocking fibers during the flocking process is minimized, thereby improving the flock density and quality relative to not providing the flocking fibers with inertia and movement in a longitudinal, machine direction.
