APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING IMITATION JACQUARD FABRIC

摘要

Apparatus and process for the manufacture of imitation Jacquard fabric by passing a flocked fabric through a printing station whereat a selected drawing or design is printed on the fabric by pressurized air. The flocked fabric is moved on a table beneath a rotatable drawing cylinder extending transversely to the table and spaced from the table only by a distance to allow the passage of the fabric therebetween. A stationary tube is placed within the drawing cylinder and the tube is supplied with pressurized air which passes into the drawing cylinder. The pressurized air passes through apertures in the drawing cylinder correlated with the design to be printed onto the fabric. The fabric is advanced under tension by rollers and a driving assembly rotates the drawing cylinder and at least one of the rollers.
