Abstract: The invention relates to an electrically conductive, elastically stretchable hybrid yarn (3), in which an elastically stretchable core filament (1) is surrounded by an electrically conductive fibre sheath (2). This results in improved technical properties of a hybrid yarn of this kind in conjunction with a simplified manufacturing method.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and devices for producing flexible sheeting including a screened hot-melt adhesive coating wherein said sheeting is based on wovens, knits or non-wovens as mainly employed in garment setting inlays. The coating is accomplished with a paste forming a barrier layer, the imprint of which is powdered with the hot-melt adhesive powder. Excess powder not adhering to the imprint screen is removed by blower/suction means prior to the coating being dried and sintered.

Abstract: This invention concerns a non-woven composite, comprising a fabric or knitted fabric and at least one layer of a non-woven fabric, in which the fabric or the knitted fabric and the non-woven layer(s) are bonded with each other. This invention also describes a process for the production of this non-woven composite as well as its use as a stiffening lining, in particular a patch lining, for example for the strengthening and padding of sleeves in the shoulder bone zone, for strengthening in the waist band zone or of hats and/or caps.

Abstract: This invention relates to an elastic interlining, particularly an elastic setting interlining, which contains a napped base material and a layer mounted thereon and composed of an adhesive, whereby the base material contains multicomponent fibers constructed from at least two different polymers. Polyester-based bicomponent fibers are preferably used, whereby these yarns can also be mixed with polyester, polyamide, polyacrylonitrile, viscose, wool or cotton. Such an interlining can be used as an elastic setting interlining for reinforcing face fabrics, particularly for reinforcing the front portion of garments.

Abstract: This invention describes a process and an apparatus for the raster-formed coating of web-shaped flexible flat articles (3) with hot-melt adhesives in a screen printing process by filling all perforations of a rotary screen printing stencil (1) by means of an outer blade (6) with a solution or dispersion of a paste (2), by placing the flat article (2) on the rotary screen printing stencil (1) and by subsequently additionally applying a paste (5) by means of an inner blade (4). On the finished product, paste (2) produces a plastic base layer which is not or only slightly capable of thermal activation and paste (5) produces a hot-melt adhesive top layer which is easily capable of being thermally activated. Following the drying and sintering of the double-layered printed flat article (8), it can be used as an attachable inlay material for items of clothing.

Abstract: The invention concerns an interfacing for stiffening outer garments which is formed from a composite of a nonwoven textile (19), a warp knit fabric with synthetic multifilament threads and weft threads (20). The composite according to the invention contains a loosely bonded nonwoven fabric (19 ) of fibre count 1 to 5 dtex and weight class 30 to 150 g/m.sup.2, a warp knit fabric of warp thread count 20 to 80 dtex, set of the warp 40 to 70 threads per 10 cm and fibre count 1 to 3.5 dtex and resilient weft threads (20) incorporated into each stitch course of the warp knit fabric of thread count 300 to 2000 dtex, set of the weft 70 to 130 threads/10 cm and, for a fibre proportion in excess of 50% by weight, a fibre count of 7 to 60 dtex.

Abstract: The invention describes a hot-melt adhesive substance for the coating of fabrics, especially of lining materials of outer wear, comprising a hot-melt adhesive paste on a copolyester basis as the base layer and a covering layer of a hot-melt adhesive. The inventive hot-melt adhesive substance is characterized in that the hot-melt adhesive paste of the base layer contains a mixture of copolyester and low-pressure polyethylene. The covering layer of hot-melt adhesive preferably contains copolyamide. When using the inventive hot-melt adhesive substance, a raster-pattern coated fabric can be obtained in which the hot-melt adhesive substance has substantially improved adhesive strength as well as a high degree of washing and cleaning stability.

Abstract: Method and device for forming grid-like coatings on web-like flexible planar structures and manufactured products thereof.The invention relates to a method and device for forming grid-like coatings on web-like flexible planar structures with fusion adhesives in the powder gravure method by spreading fusion adhesive powder in the depressions of a rotating gravure roller (1) and transferring the gravure powder fillings onto the planar structure (8) with the use of a rotating heater roller (5) pressed onto the gravure roller. The invention is based on the object of so configuring a method and a device of this type that without additional expenditure they prevent the necessity for using additional web-like carrier strips for transferring the raster-like coating from the gravure roller onto the surface construction finally to be coated.

Abstract: A woven fabric used as a lining in a shirt sector, consisting of fabric-forming warp and weft filaments which consist of synthetic material, wherein the weft yarn consists at least partially of crimped yarns. The finished fabric is then coated in punctiform manner with a hot sealable adhesive on the basis of copolyesters and/or low pressure polyethylene in the spot raster with a spot density of 600 to 1400 spots/inch.sup.2. The invention also comprises colored, marked and flame-resistant linings.The coating with hot sealable adhesive can be carried out in punctiform manner using all the known application technologies. It is also taken into consideration that a calendering process can be undertaken after the coating process.

Abstract: The invention concerns a heat-sealing adhesive on the basis of copolyamides for the coating of fabrics, and especially of linings for outerwear. The invention consists of the fact that this heat-sealing adhesive contains from 0.3 to 15% by weight, preferably 0.7 to 12% by weight, of behenic acid. Thereby a substantially and unexpectedly increased adhesion strength of the adhesive is attained, so that for the same adhesive strength a smaller amount of the heat-sealing adhesive is required. This improves the comfort provided by the article of clothing when being worn.The invention also concerns a process for the manufacture of this heat-sealing adhesive as well as its use for the coating of lining fabrics.

Abstract: A process for the reinforcement of flexible flat parts, especially top cloths for articles of clothing or linings for such articles, in which process said flat parts are first printed on one side with an aqueous crosslinkable dispersion paste by the photogravure printing process and then are electrostatically flocked preferably with fibrous flocks, the flocks adhering to the paste, whereupon the paste is caused to undergo a condensation reaction after prestabilizing it by heat coagulation or by predrying, while said condensation reaction is performed with substantial exclusion of incoming air, under pressure and in the temperature range from 90.degree. to 175.degree. C. The process is simple, fast to complete, and leads to non-yellowed products.

Abstract: A device for the printing of flexible flat parts such as cuts or single parts of fabrics, wefts, fleeces, leather, furs or the like with pasty substances in the photogravure printing process. The device has a printing roller to be painted with paste, and a counter-print roller with print gap therebetween. In the area of said gap a group of adjacent yarns runs around a part of the periphery of the printing roller, and is then drawn off above a discharge device for the flat parts from the printing roller. This yarn group is moved at a velocity differing from that of the periphery of the printing roller. It can be moved either in the same or opposite direction as the peripheral motion of the rollers in the area of the printing gap. This makes possible an exact deposit of the printed flat parts on the discharge device and also reduces the paste consumption, with the minimum of constructional costs.
