  • Publication number: 20130092698
    Abstract: A container and method for making a container for removing liquid from a cleaning head includes a base wall and a lateral wall peripherally extending from a first side of the base wall. The base wall further includes on the first side, a protruding portion adapted to rotationally support inside the container, at a predetermined height with respect to the base wall, a centrifuge drum for removing liquid from a cleaning head and, on a second side opposite to the first side, at the protruding portion on the first side, a hollow portion shaped so as to be combined with the protruding portion.

  • Patent number: 8307765
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and equipment (1) for creating prints on non-woven-fabric and, particularly, relates to a process and to equipment (1) which allows the creation of color prints on non-woven fabrics at high speed while at the same time maintaining optimal print quality on wet or dry product, either in-line with production or off-line. The NWF may be printed over only a small percentage with respect to its surface (2-3%) up to a coverage of 100% of its surface, depending on the use of the NWF itself, i.e.: personal hygiene, domestic hygiene, matting, non-woven fabric for clothing, table-cloths, handkerchiefs, curtains (furnishings), bags, containers for items.

  • Patent number: 7062824
    Abstract: Method of producing a composite nonwoven for receiving and storing liquids or the like, comprising a carded nonwoven, which is treated in order to consolidate it, and a pulp layer, such as a wood pulp fiber layer, applied to the consolidated carded nonwoven and brought into secure contact with same, characterised in that the carded nonwoven is consolidated dry before being coated with the super-absorbent material, then the layer formed from the pulp fibers is applied to this pre-consolidated carded nonwoven and everything is interconnected.

  • Publication number: 20060035551
    Abstract: A textile product is described which is composed of a weft and a warp, in which the weft and/or the warp are composed of strips of non-woven fabric. This product is applied in the production of cloths for cleaning floors, dusters, napkins, bedspreads, couch covers, cushion covers, car seat covers, doormats, etc. The strips of non-woven fabric are preferably composed of hydroentangled or thermobonded fibres, and with a base of materials such as viscose, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, cellulose pulp. The invention also includes mixed textile products, in which non-woven products are combined with materials other than non-woven such as wool, silk, synthetic fibres, etc. This method is advantageously, though not exclusively, suited for recycling even waste materials derived from the processing of non-woven fabric.

  • Patent number: 6987075
    Abstract: The present invention describes a new mattress cover sheet with barrier effect against bacteria and parasites, consisting of a spunlace fiber based fabric. The spunlace fabric mattress cover can be produced in a structure with one or more layers, and can contain antibacterial substances. The sheet subject of the invention provides an effective barrier between the person and the mattress, in particular avoiding the transfer of pollutants from the mattress to the person and at the same time protecting the hygiene of the mattress itself.
