An applicator for a crease setting composition includes two or more applicator heads mounted over a surface having vacuum means for gripping a fabric. The applicator heads can be raised and lowered in unison and moved back and forth over the surface. When the rear edge of the fabric is sensed, the applicator heads drop onto the fabric and then are moved backwards while applying the crease setting composition to the fabric. When the front edge of the fabric is sensed, application of the setting composition is discontinued and the applicator heads are raised from the fabric. Channels or grooves in the surface, which supports the fabric during application of composition, receive the creases so that accurate alignment is maintained between the applicator heads and the creases. Air pressure is used for dispensing the composition.

Applicator for crease setting composition

An apparatus for applying a crease-setting composition for setting a crease in textile material in which the composition is forced out of a nozzle at a controlled delivery rate while the nozzle is guided along the crease line.

Applicator for crease-setting composition

A durable crease is formed in a textile article by applying a flexible casting compound in a preformed crease using a non-rotary applicator in conjunction with a structure for guiding the applicator along the crease.
