Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of imaging a woven textile fabric by positioning the fabric on a three-dimensional image transfer device, and subjecting the fabric to treatment with high pressure liquid streams. A regular pattern defined by the image transfer device is thereby durably imparted to the fabric. The use of a three-dimensional image transfer device facilitates efficient commercially viable use of the method, while avoiding the creation of repeating defects which can occur when imaging fabrics on wire mesh screens.

Abstract: A fluid-dispensing member is designed to be mounted on the neck of a container. The dispensing member includes: a body defining a chamber that slidably receives a piston; a fixing member designed to co-operate with the neck and extending around the body; and a delivery channel connecting the chamber to a stationary dispensing orifice. The delivery channel is formed between the body and the fixing member. The fixing member is suitable for co-operating with an inside wall of the neck so as to fix the dispensing member in the neck.
