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.

Abstract: A wet mop head construction comprising a pile fabric having a central headband for attachment to the gripping elements of a wet mop tool and a flared main body portion extending freely therefrom for contact with a surface, such as a floor, to be cleaned.

Abstract: A wet mop head construction and a method of making such construction comprising a pile fabric having an improved headband for attachment to the gripping elements of a wet mop tool and wherein the headband is comprised of a fabric material sewn about an end of the main body pile fabric portion with end portions of the headband extending from the pile fabric to partially cover and prevent the gripping elements of a mop tool from contacting a surface being treated by the mop head.

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.

Abstract: Apparatus to apply dyes to a moving material to print the same which employs dye applicator gun bars to direct a plurality of streams of dye onto the moving sheet in a predetermined pattern, and wherein means are provided for accurately positioning and adjusting the gun bars on their support frame to facilitate accurate placement of the dye streams on the moving material during the printing operation.
