Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
172 words
Method of pattern dyeing which comprises folding a fabric and forming a succession of fabric areas lying side by side; clamping the folded fabric to urge adjacent areas together and form a compact block of the fabric to restrict dyestuff access to parts of the areas internally of the block and leave parts of the areas towards the exterior of the block accessible to the dyestuff; applying at least one dye liquor and thereby at least two different dyestuffs to the exterior of the block, one dyestuff having a faster speed of diffusion between the said parts of the areas to which dyestuff access is restricted than the other dyestuff, and next treating the block to diffuse the one dyestuff from the exterior of the block into the parts of to the areas of restricted dyestuff access and leave the other dyestuff substantially on parts of the areas accessible to dyestuff and separate the one dyestuff at least partly from the other dyestuff in each of the areas lying side by side.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
172 words
Method of pattern dyeing which comprises folding a fabric and forming a succession of fabric areas lying side by side; clamping the folded fabric to urge adjacent areas together and form a compact block of the fabric to restrict dyestuff access to parts of the areas internally of the block and leave parts of the areas towards the exterior of the block accessible to the dyestuff; applying at least one dye liquor and thereby at least two different dyestuffs to the exterior of the block, one dyestuff having a faster speed of diffusion between the said parts of the areas to which dyestuff access is restricted than the other dyestuff, and next treating the block to diffuse the one dyestuff from the exterior of the block into the parts of to the areas of restricted dyestuff access and leave the other dyestuff substantially on parts of the areas accessible to dyestuff and separate the one dyestuff at least partly from the other dyestuff in each of the areas lying side by side.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
Method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the fabric is folded to give pleats and a strip of superimposed fabric layers and then folded at an angle to the pleats.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
Method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said dyestuffs are applied from at least two separate dyetuff solutions each containing at least one dyestuff.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
Method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said dyestuffs are applied from a single dyestuff solution.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
Method as claimed in claim 1 in which the dyestuffs are applied at a plurality of external locations of the clamped folded fabric.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
Method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the dyestuffs are applied from aqueous solution containing a thickening agent.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
Method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the said one dyestuff is a reactive dyestuff having two reactive groups and said other dyestuff is a reactive dyestuff having one reactive group.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
Method as claimed in claim 7 wherein the said reactive dyestuffs are fixed in a separate fixation treatment.
