Aminoplast resin compositions

This invention relates to methods of applying finishes to garments. More particularly, this invention relates to improved methods for applying specialty finishing on the garments using a cellulose-type based carrier and to a carrier/finish composition for practicing the method which achieves a smooth and even coating of the finishing onto fabric without having to recover unused finishing and which can be accomplished using standard garment production equipment.

A system for the uniform distribution and delivery of foam finish to a fabric is disclosed. The system includes a pressure manifold for delivery of foam under pressure to a moving fabric which includes inner and outer concentrically disposed conduits. The inner conduit receives foam under pressure from both ends and has an effluent port along the length thereof supplying foam to the outer conduit. The outer conduit includes a slotted port along the length thereof for delivery of foam under pressure to a moving fabric passing across the slotted port. The pressure manifold may include a sleeve which is adjustably positioned to seal the end portions of the slotted port depending on the width of the fabric being foam finished. The system may include two such pressure manifolds, arranged in parallel crosswise to the moving fabric, to apply foam simultaneously to both sides of the fabric. The foam delivery system may also include a photocell and its associated circuitry to sense the width of the fabric being finished and a pneumatic cylinder mechanically connected to the sleeve and responsive to a signal output from the photocell circuit to adjust the position of the sleeve so that the latter is in close contact with the selvage of the moving fabric.

Foam finishing apparatus and method

An abrasive structure for stone washing garments in a wash medium and a method for abrading garments using that abrasive structure to achieve controlled abrasion of those garments are disclosed. The abrasive structure has a uniform abrasive surface which will not damage or excessively wear fabrics and garments being subjected to the stone washing method, which will not deteriorate during use, and which will provide uniformly stone washed garments having a consistent nap and a low level amount of textile wear. The abrasive structure is formed of a substantially form-retaining material having a resilient abrasive surface. For example, the abrasive structure may be formed of a block of form-retaining material substantially impervious to aqueous washing systems and a resilient layer of synthetic abrasive material substantially surrounding the block and affixed to the exterior surfaces of the block.

Abrasive structures and methods for abrading fabrics

A foam applicator includes a pressure manifold having a pair of adjacent inner conduits and an outer conduit which surrounds the inner conduits. The inner conduits extend axially beyond the length of the outer conduit and are connected on both ends of each to a source of foam under pressure. The outer conduit has a slotted port formed therein which extends axially along a major portion of the length thereof. One inner conduit has an effluent port formed therein which extends over the central half thereof. The other inner conduit has effluent ports formed therein which extend over the end quarter portions thereof. Foam supplied to the inner conduits under pressure pass through the effluent ports formed in the inner conduits and is evenly distributed over the entire length of the outer conduit. The foam in the outer conduit passes through the slotted port of the outer conduit and is distributed onto a moving fabric passing in contact with the pressure manifold.
