  • Patent number: 4116159
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for coating a moving porous web with viscous coating material, particularly for coating bias-cut, woven fabric with a tacky neoprene composition, to fill the interstices and uniformly coat the faces thereof, comprising a tenter frame for moving the fabric in a horizontal path of travel while maintaining it in dimensional stretched configuration. A pair of coating heads having opposed discharge manifolds positioned above and below the path of movement of the fabric on the tenter frame are supplied with viscous coating material which is applied to the moving fabric. The fabric is dried after each coating application and subsequently collected for use as reinforcement in the rubber cores of V-belt contructions.

  • Patent number: 3963428
    Abstract: A process for printing porous textile materials, such as pile fabrics, and the resultant products, wherein the poorly defined boundaries between adjacent dissimilarly colored surface areas of the material are subsequently overprinted with a color which is retained adjacent the surface of the textile material to overlie and hide the poorly defined boundary, thus providing a more sharply defined pattern in the textile material.
