Definitions

  • the invention relates to methods or processes of manufacturing pile fabrics in which the yarn in suitable formation to form the pile is temporarily supported or consolidated in a soluble, meltable or equally suitable substance which, after a backing has been applied or formed, is removed from the pile which can be brushed or otherwise finished.
  • the supporting substance is pro-formed into a layer, tor instance, a tablet, slab or sheet of any desired dimensions and the pile is produced in the layer by inserting strands into said layer and prefer ably continuous strands such as yarn by means ot a knitting", embroidering, sewing or similar operation, the needles employed being adapted to draw the yarn for the pile into or through the layer.
  • the thiclrness oi the layer may be utilised to determine the height of the pile, e. g. with a layer having plain surfaces, a pile of uniform height can be proluded. a pile is required the pile or linear formation formed in the layer can be out either before or after removal of the supporting substance.
  • the layer is provided with depree sious in a surface which will give the required varying thickness of layer to suit the varying height of pile required.
  • a surface oi the layer may be utilised to enable pile oi different height to be formed by moulding, embossing or cutting the surface with the required pattern in relief, 1. e. in intaglio or cameo, before the lrhitting, embroiderlung or sewing operation is performed, the varying thickness of the layer due to the pattern determining the required variation in the heights of the pile produced by the needles.
  • the term relief is to be understood as including patterns or unevennesses produced according to any of the above methods.
  • the layer may be superposed on a fabric or other flexible backing so that the yarn is locked or bound to it during the creation of the pile.
  • the supporting substance of which the layer is composed may be any of the examples given in the specification of our pending application for patent Serial No. 642,958, being removable from the pile either by melting or by washing or by means of a solvent, and for convenience will hereinafter be referred to in the descri tion substance.
  • Figure l is a diagrammatic section through a layer of removable supporting substance illustrating the production of pile by means of needies of a sewing machine, the layer having plain surfaces.
  • Figure 2 is a similar section in which the layer has an upper patterned surface.
  • Figures 3 and 4 are similar sections to the above wherein the layer in each case is provided with a baclring of flexible material.
  • Figures 5 and 6 are sections of pile fabric produced by cutting the layer after being provided with pile according to Figure l and. removing the supporting substance.
  • Figures '7 and 8 are sections oi pile lab'ric produced by the method hereinafter described with. reference to Figure 2.
  • Figure 9 is a section showing a layer of removable supporting substance provided with a pat tern on both surfaces and with a pile formed within it.
  • Figure 10 is a section oi a pile fabric produced by cutting the layer shown in Figure 9 transversely of the pile and removing the supporting substance.
  • Figure 11 is an isometric view of a needle guide and shuttle guide.
  • Figure i2 is an isometric view partly in section showing the co-relation of a needle to the shuttle and its bobbin.
  • Figure 13 is a plan oi a needle guide and shut tle snide.
  • Figure ii is a front elevation of a needle guide, shuttle guide and means for reciprocatingthe latter.
  • Figure 15 is a section on XIV-XV, Figure it.
  • Figure 16 is an isometric view diagrammatical ly illustrating one form of apparatus for producing pile fabric according to the invention.
  • Figure 17 is a side view corresponding to Figure it.
  • Figure 18 is an isometric view diagrammatically illustrating loops formed by needles for the reception of the shuttle bobbin
  • Figure 19 is a cross sectional side view corresponding therewith.
  • the pile l, Figure 1 is produced by passing a pro-formed slab 2 of suitable supporting substance through a machine having a row of pointed needles t which pass substantially at right angles through the slab 2.
  • the yarn t with which the needles 3 are fed forms the pile i.
  • loops t are formed and a shuttle carries 2.
  • bob-- bin diagrammatically represented by 6 through the loops b so as to insert a binding thread 'l'.
  • the tension applied to the yarn tightens the aeeopes loops as well as those 8 on the upper and lower surfaces 9 and I. of the slab which, surfaces in the example shown are plain.
  • loop pile l of uniform height is produced in the slab 2 which not only supports the pile during its production but determines the height of the pile which is equal to the thickness of the slab. It will be understood that loop ends I when tightened lie in close contact with the adjacent surfaces of the slab but they are not so shown in Figure 1 for the sake of clearness.
  • the surface 9 of the pre-formed slab 2 of supporting substance is made uneven so that the uneven thickness of the slab determines the uneven height required in the pile.
  • a backing I 2 which may be a fabric or any other suitable material, is passed with the slab 2 through the sewing machine so that the pile l is bound to the fabric backing.
  • Some of the supporting substance of which the slab iscomposed is then removed from the cut surfaces of the upper portion of the severed slab so as to expose yarn ends which are then fixed in plastic or other suitable material for forming a backing.
  • the supporting substance is then removed so that the pile fixed in its plastic or other backing material l3 forms the pile fabric as indicated in Figure 5.
  • the pre-formed slab 2 may be provided with a pattern on both its upper and lower surfaces 9 and III as indicated in Figure 9.
  • the slab 2 when provided with a pile is cut transversely to the pile by a knife II and fixing material i3, is applied to both of the cut surfaces, the supporting substance of each portion of the slab so out being removed so that each portion of the pile faabric so produced is as represented by Figure 1
  • slab of supporting substance is one similar to a knitting machine provided with a transverse row of needles and a co-operatlng shuttle and bobbin.
  • the needles 3 are carried by a bar l4, Figure 16, the ends of which are reciprocated in side guides l5 by suitable mechanism not shown.
  • the needles pass through a slot I6 in a table II, Figures 12 and 15, on which the pre-formed slab or sheet 2 of supporting substance is fed as indicated in Figure 16.
  • the needles 3 are guided by a grooved needle guide It, Figures 12 to 14.
  • a shuttle l9 provided with a bobbin 8 is reciprocated below the table ll so that the bobbin enters the loops 5 formed by the needles 3 and inserts a binding thread which is bound with the lower loops of the pile formed in the supporting substance 2 by the needles 3, i. e.
  • the shuttle is guided by a shuttle guide 2! carried by an arm 22 fixed on a shoe 23 sliding in a grooved rail 24.
  • the shoe 23 is attached to a cable 25 passing over pulleys 26 one of which is assumed to be oscillated at the required periodicity by suitable means not shown as the above mechanism is only indicated diagrammatically.
  • FIG. 16 A general lay-out of apparatus for carrying out the method is illustrated by Figures 16 and 17.
  • the pre-formed supporting substance 2 is made in the form of a sheet or long piece and is assumed to be a substance which can be removed by melting under heat or can be removed by heating and washing with a solvent.
  • the sheet 2 As the sheet 2 travels away from the needles it passes successively over a hot plate 30 and a bath 3
  • the pile fabric so produced is then delivered over a roller 32 and allowed to fold as a pile 33. It may be finishedby brushing.
  • Needles such as used on knitting machines, embroidery machines or sewing machines may be used to produce the pile with any kind of binding device, but in order to enable the needles to penetrate the pre-formed layer of removable supporting substance they should be provided with sharp points.
  • the needles be arranged in one row.
  • Coloured yarn can be used to enable patterns to be formed in the pile fabric produced according to the invention.
  • a process for manufacturing a pile fabric which comprises forming a layer of solid pierceable and removable supporting substance, forming a pile in said substance by inserting strands through said layer so that the strands protrude from a surface of the layer, applying a backing to the protruding portions of said strands, and
