Abstract
Abstract In a first operating stage, the back of a face fabric material is imprinted with a flock-binding aqueous cross-linkable dispersion paste in a grid-like manner by an intaglio printing process, flock is electrostatically applied to the paste, and the paste is then pre-stabilized by thermal coagulation and/or pre-drying. In a further operating stage, in which the material is preferably formed into a stack, the paste is cross-linked in a heated chamber at 90 to 140° C. Steps such as sewing and ironing may be interposed between the above-mentioned stages.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 25
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A method of reinforcing a face fabric material for a garment by a layer of flocking on the rear side of the face fabric to eliminate the need for a fixing lining for the garment, comprising the steps of imprinting the back of the material with an aqueous cross-linkable dispersion paste in a grid-like manner by an intaglio printing process, applying flock to the dispersion paste and curing by heat treatment, characterized in that: (a) the printing step is performed with a flock binding dispersion paste on fabric cuttings: (b) the flock is applied to the dispersion paste electrostatically; (c) the aqueous dispersion paste is pre-stabilized by at least one technique selected from thermal coagulation and pre-drying: and (d) a further operating stage in which the step of cross-linking the dispersion paste is carried out with a plurality of cuttings positioned to form a stack in a heated chamber at 90° to 140° C.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
154 words
A method of reinforcing a face fabric material for a garment by a layer of flocking on the rear side of the face fabric to eliminate the need for a fixing lining for the garment, comprising the steps of imprinting the back of the material with an aqueous cross-linkable dispersion paste in a grid-like manner by an intaglio printing process, applying flock to the dispersion paste and curing by heat treatment, characterized in that: (a) the printing step is performed with a flock binding dispersion paste on fabric cuttings: (b) the flock is applied to the dispersion paste electrostatically; (c) the aqueous dispersion paste is pre-stabilized by at least one technique selected from thermal coagulation and pre-drying: and (d) a further operating stage in which the step of cross-linking the dispersion paste is carried out with a plurality of cuttings positioned to form a stack in a heated chamber at 90° to 140° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method of claim 1, in which the dispersion paste incorporates at least one highly disperse filler substance having an average surface area of 25 to 600 m 2 /g referred to the dry weight of the dispersion paste.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 2, in which the said average surface area is 50 to 400 m 2 /g.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 2, in which the filler substance amounts to 0.5 to 5% by weight, referred to the dry weight of the dispersion paste.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method of claim 1, in which the filler substance is a dry-cleaning resistant, wear resistant filler substance produced by decomposition of a halogenide in the gas phase.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 1, in which at least one filler substance is selected from the group consisting of silicic acid, aluminum oxide, and titanium dioxide.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
36 words
The method of claim 1, in which the dispersion paste comprises at least one cross-linkable co-polymersate into which has been polymerised at least one di-vinyl compound up to a maximum of 3% referred to dry weight.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
The method of claim 1, in which the dispersion paste comprises at least one cross-linkable co-polymerisate pre-condensed with at least one bifunctional hardener up to a maximum of 4% referred to dry weight.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method of claim 8, in which the said at least one hardener is selected from the group consisting of dimethylol ethylene urea and dimethylol propylene urea.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
58 words

Claim 12
Dependent Claim
22 words
