Abstract
Abstract Disclosed herein is a process for printing on textile materials, particularly pile type fabrics, wherein a foamed printing composition is first applied to the textile material; a second foamed composition is thereafter uniformly applied onto the textile over the printing composition prior to fixation of the latter; the second applied foam is then collapsed to form a pre-selected print on the textile; and the printed textile is then subjected to color fixation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A method of printing patterns on selected portions of textile materials comprising the steps of: (a) applying a color-containing printing composition to a selected portion of a textile material in accordance with a pre-selected pattern; (b) thereafter uniformly coating said textile material to which said printing composition has been applied with a foamed composition to form a blanket over said previously applied printing composition prior to fixation thereof, said blanket of foam being of a sufficient thickness and coated over said color-containing printing composition so as to facilitate substantially uniform penetration of said printing composition into said textile material upon collapsing of said foam composition; (c) collapsing said foamed composition to result in substantially uniform penetration of said printing composition into said textile material in accordance with said pre-selected pattern; and (d) thereafter fixing the color on said printed textile material.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
141 words
A method of printing patterns on selected portions of textile materials comprising the steps of: (a) applying a color-containing printing composition to a selected portion of a textile material in accordance with a pre-selected pattern; (b) thereafter uniformly coating said textile material to which said printing composition has been applied with a foamed composition to form a blanket over said previously applied printing composition prior to fixation thereof, said blanket of foam being of a sufficient thickness and coated over said color-containing printing composition so as to facilitate substantially uniform penetration of said printing composition into said textile material upon collapsing of said foam composition; (c) collapsing said foamed composition to result in substantially uniform penetration of said printing composition into said textile material in accordance with said pre-selected pattern; and (d) thereafter fixing the color on said printed textile material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said color-containing printing composition is applied to said textile material by means of a rotary screen printer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method according to claim 2 wherein said printing composition contains an acid dye and said textile material is a nylon pile fabric.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said color-containing printing composition is applied to said textile material by means of an intaglio printing cylinder.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein said textile material comprises a high pile fabric and said foamed composition contains no color and is applied with a coating knife.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said color containing printing composition is applied to said textile material in the form of a foam.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
The method according to claim 6 wherein the foam density of each of said foam compositions is in the range of from about 0.5 gm/cc to about 0.05 gm/cc.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
47 words
The method according to claim 6 wherein said foaming composition is substantially free of any color containing material and is prepared by foaming a composition comprised of a liquid and a foaming agent, to a blow ratio in the range of from about 2:1 to about 20:1.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said printing composition contains a disperse dye and said textile material is a polyester pile fabric or a nylon pile fabric.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
162 words
A method of printing on textile materials comprising the steps of: (a) applying a color-containing foamed printing composition to a textile material in accordance with a pre-selected pattern, said printing composition having a foam density in the range of from about 0.5 gm/cc to about 0.05 gm/cc and being prepared by foaming a composition comprised of liquid, color material and a foaming agent to a blow ratio in the range of from about 2:1 to about 20:1; (b) thereafter uniformly coating said textile material to which said printing composition has been applied with a second foamed composition, having a foam density in the range of from about 0.5 gm/cc to about 0.05 gm/cc, to form a blanket over said previously applied foamed printing composition prior to fixation thereof; (c) collapsing said second applied foamed composition to result in penetration of said printing composition into said textile material in said pre-selected pattern; and (d) thereafter fixing the color on said printed textile material.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
162 words
A method of printing on textile materials comprising the steps of: (a) applying a color-containing foamed printing composition to a textile material in accordance with a pre-selected pattern, said printing composition having a foam density in the range of from about 0.5 gm/cc to about 0.05 gm/cc and being prepared by foaming a composition comprised of liquid, color material and a foaming agent to a blow ratio in the range of from about 2:1 to about 20:1; (b) thereafter uniformly coating said textile material to which said printing composition has been applied with a second foamed composition, having a foam density in the range of from about 0.5 gm/cc to about 0.05 gm/cc, to form a blanket over said previously applied foamed printing composition prior to fixation thereof; (c) collapsing said second applied foamed composition to result in penetration of said printing composition into said textile material in said pre-selected pattern; and (d) thereafter fixing the color on said printed textile material.
