Embodiment 1

[0050] In this example, this method was applied to filaments containing 100% DuPont, Stainmaster TMTufted carpet in Nylon 6, 6, Type 896AS, Semi Dull, Trilobal, 17dpf. This rug has a tuft thickness of 1 / 8 inch and a weight of 40.0 ounces per square yard with tufted yarn nylon 6,6 tufted on a woven polypropylene backing.

[0051] First, the carpet is wetted to approximately 70% of its dry weight (the following percentages are all dry weight) with the cationic polymer solution to enhance the print color of the carpet to be dyed. Next, 250% by dry weight of the fiber degrading composition was applied to the preselected area of ​​the carpet. Printed carpets are then produced by applying an aqueous solution of traditionally used acid dyes in several different colors to other areas of the carpet. When coating the fiber degrading composition and acid dye, the devices disclosed in US Pat. Nos. 4,084,615 and 4,984,169 are used.

[0052] The fiber degrading composition comprises Xant...

Embodiment 2

[0062] Example 1 was repeated except that the carpet was dyed with a single color applicator prior to the application of the fiber degrading composition and printing size. Print dyes are lighter and appear to wash off more easily, so the embossed areas of the rug appear lighter than other areas.

Embodiment 3

[0064] Example 1 was repeated, except that instead of the carpet being dyed all in-line, it was dried, rolled up, and passed through the dyeing zone with the single color applicator in Example 2. The result was the same as in Example 1.

Abstract

The present invention provides a sculptured pile fabric (15) having both a printed pattern and a sculpted surface of various pile heights (10, 20). The fabric of the present invention (15) has improved aesthetic qualities as compared with sculptured products of the prior art. This improved sculptured fabric (15) is the result of a chemical sculpting method, in which the height of the pile surface is selectively reduced in a pattern configuration (20), and that is followed by an overall 'dilute' dyeing process. This 'dilute' dyeing process is similar to that used to 'tea stain' textile products, wherein an overall hue is imparted to a textile by the use of a relatively dilute (low concentration) dyestuff (dye 2). The resulting sculptured product (15) has an appearance that emphasizes the sculptured areas, making the sculptured areas appear to have greater depth, especially when viewed at a distance.

Description

field of invention [0001] This invention relates to relief fabric substrates, in particular fleece fabrics, and methods of making such fabrics. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of embossing in which the stretching tension of the fibers comprising the embossed areas of the fabric is reduced so that selected areas of the fleece can be more easily removed by mechanical means. The invention also includes a method of color washing and dyeing which can be used to enhance the visual effect of the embossed area in the textile and, according to actual needs, also can be used to eliminate the color caused by the embossing process. Some undesired bleach patterns in the area. Background of the invention [0002] When producing fleece, it is often desirable to create a relief effect on the surface of the fabric in order to enhance its decorative appeal. While there are some techniques for producing such relief surfaces, none are satisfactory. [0003] An ea...
