| 4088731 | Method of softening nonwoven fabrics A bonded web of nonwoven fibers is stretched beyond its elastic limit in one direction sufficiently to permanently elongate those filaments or filament portions of the web extending generally in the direction of the applied tension. This results in a narr... | 05/09/1978 |
| 4086687 | Apparatus for relaxing or loosening needled textile fabrics Apparatus for loosening the needled structure of a textile fabric. A moveable surface having penetrating elements which penetrate the fabric, produce planar forces on the internal fibers of the fabric. A co-operating surface provides an opposite force to ... | 05/02/1978 |
| 4072557 | Method and apparatus for shrinking a travelling web of fibrous material Method and apparatus for shrinking a travelling web of fibrous material by transferring the web of fibrous material on a porous carrier web to a transfer web travelling at a lower velocity than the carrier web, curving the carrier web to a convex curvatur... | 02/07/1978 |
| 4058874 | Method for knitting and pre-shrinking knit fabrics in accordance with pre-determined comfort levels Various greige fabrics are tubular knit with various knit parameters, including stitch length and stitch density, pre-treated and converted into test garments using the tubular knit fabric as the major portion of the garment, such as a man's undershirt. S... | 11/22/1977 |
| 4051215 | Process for imparting elasticity to woven textile fabrics The present invention relates to a process for treating woven textile fabrics. In one aspect, the present invention relates to a process for imparting elasticity to a woven textile fabric in its warp direction in which a cellulose reactive resin solution ... | 09/27/1977 |
| 4041581 | Method for compacting woven gauze bandages The disclosure is directed to the mechanical compacting of woven gauze bandages, including both method and apparatus features. An improved bandage gauze, having increased crimp and bulk, and a desirable degree of lengthwise stretch, is produced by passing... | 08/16/1977 |
| 4033709 | Molding apparatus for ribbed product This invention concerns apparatus for moulding ribs, ridges, studs or other upstanding projections on a mouldable material and although not so restricted it will hereafter be described with reference to its use on apparatus for moulding dry formed fibrous... | 07/05/1977 |
| 4031596 | Integrated finishing and compressive preshrinking of a high-shrinkage fabric This disclosure teaches a method for integrated finishing and compressive preshrinking of a high-shrinkage fabric. The fabric is brought damp from being finished to being compressively preshrunk, rather than according to universally recognized procedure o... | 06/28/1977 |
| 4010522 | Apparatus for drying web-like material Apparatus is disclosed for drying web-like material, such as knit material, being fed to a pre-shrinking machine such as a compressor. The apparatus includes a frame, at least one drying roller about which the web-like material passes in traveling from a ... | 03/08/1977 |
| 4003783 | Method for compacting a nonwoven fabric impregnated with a thermoplastic binder A method for compacting a nonwoven fabric impregnated with a thermoplastic binder at a temperature higher than the softening temperature of the binder to improve hand and drape of the fabric. A bar compresses a relatively thick endless elastomeric belt ag... | 01/18/1977 |
| 3975806 | Apparatus for compressively treating flexible sheet materials Apparatus for initiating compressive treatment of a running length of flexible material wherein the material is confined against a moving drive surface by a confining surface and then retarded by a retarding surface located downstream of the confining sur... | 08/24/1976 |
| 3973303 | Compactor shoe adjustment for compressive shrinking machines The disclosure relates to the provision of improved and advantageous facilities for the on-line adjustment of the length of the compressive shrinking zone in a so-called two roll compactor. The compactor shoe is supported at each end, by a pair of primary... | 08/10/1976 |
| 3954557 | Perforated compactor bar Lubrication of a compacting resilient belt used in a web compacting system is facilitated by maintaining a constant depth pool of lubricating liquid between a fluid compactor bar and the inside surface of the belt on the belt approach side of the compacto... | 05/04/1976 |
| 3949128 | Product and process for producing a stretchable nonwoven material from a spot bonded continuous filament web Fabric-like nonwoven, elastic materials of substantially continuous and randomly deposited, molecularly oriented filaments of a thermoplastic polymer are disclosed. Elasticity is achieved by causing the filaments to buckle either between spot bond areas d... | 04/06/1976 |
| 3940833 | Method for compressively shrinking textile fabrics at high speed This disclosure teaches a method of longitudinally compressively shrinking a textile fabric web with the method comprising known steps of preconditioning the web, continuously feeding the web between a thick elastomeric belt and a heated polished cylinder... | 03/02/1976 |
| 3939537 | Apparatus for longitudinally compressing textile material An apparatus is disclosed for longitudinally compressing materials such as knit fabrics. The apparatus includes a frame with the frame having first and second spaced apart side walls. First and second drive rollers are supported between the side walls and... | 02/24/1976 |
