<p>Pile fabric (10) with thermoplastic pile is fed beneath a radiant heater (14), preferably with the pile brushed back by a brush (40). The pile is pulled back over a blade (16) so as to contact a cool pattern roller (18) having rows of thin blades in longitudinal slots at its periphery. The blades pattern the softened pile which is then set by the cool roller and air jet (32) directed on the back of the fabric. The fabric itself rotates the roller which may be braked (friction brake 34, 36, 38). The apparatus and the method embodied in the apparatus can produce a stria pile fabric simulating a fabric produced with slubbed yarns. However the invention can be used whether the fabric is woven, tufted or knitted.</p> |
