Benefits of technology

The patent describes a way to make a better quality upholstery fabric that is washed and plushed. It involves using a soft, stable fabric and applying chemicals to prevent migration and make it softer. The fabric is then washed in a special way, opened, and rewound. Additional coatings are applied and an adhesive is applied while the fabric is kept stable. A nonwoven fabric is added to the previously prepared fabric and then the fabric is subjected to a steam flow process to improve its texture and make it narrower. This method is cost-effective and produces a high-quality fabric that is easier to maintain.

Problems solved by technology

Although some attempts have been made to enhance the fabric by the application of latex backing, this has been detrimental to the hand of the fabric.

Embodiment Construction

[0005] The present invention provides continuous process for fabrication of a novel washed and plushed upholstery fabric having superior fabric elongation stability, superior recovery properties, less yarn raveling, and improved sewing and cut-ability. One aspect of the invention is the provision of a soft, dimensionally stable, nonwoven fabric backing in a series of unique process steps.

[0006] The process begins with the chemical application of an anti-migrant and softener sprayed preferably upon a rayon or an acrylic fabric in open width. The rate of application is between 50 and 300 ml / min. For rayon a rate of 300 ml / min is optimal. For acrylic a rate of 100 ml / min is optimal. The fabric is then subjected to a continuous wash in a rope form. Compared with prior batch processes, this treatment produces a more repeatable effect. The rope is then opened under the control of a load cell, which controls the rate of operation, and de-twisted back to its full width. The fabric is then ...

Abstract

A method for producing an improved washed and plushed upholstery fabric in a continuous process includes the provision of a soft, dimensionally stable, nonwoven fabric backing. After the chemical application of an anti-migrant and softener, the fabric is washed in a rope form, opened and de-twisted. After the fabric is rewound and further coatings are applied, an adhesive is applied to hold a nonwoven web to the previously prepared fabric in a rewinding process. The fabric is then subjected to a steam flow process to enhance the fabric texture and reduce the width of the fabric.

Description

[0001] This application claims the priority date of U.S. Provisional No. 60 / 552,564 filed Mar. 12, 2004.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to production of washed and plushed upholstery fabrics, primarily chenille containing, and the application of backing materials. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Wash and Plush fabrics have been popular for some time. Their main advantage has been relatively low cost and moderate quality. The typical production involves a batch process. Although some attempts have been made to enhance the fabric by the application of latex backing, this has been detrimental to the hand of the fabric. What is needed is a more economical continuous process for manufacturing wash and plush fabrics, wherein the process can apply nonwoven backing material to a surface of the fabric. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0004] An economical method for producing an improved washed and plushed upholstery fabric comprises a continuous process including t...
