Patent number: 5284677Abstract: A method for manufacturing a coated textile which exhibits a worn look when stressed. The method includes depositing a water-base resinous coating on the textile wherein the amount of coating placed on the textile is controlled such that the threads are coated but a thin film is not formed thereon. After depositing the coating on the material, the coating is passed through a first heat exchange zone to remove the water and dry the coating. Then the dried coated textile is passed through a second heat exchange zone wherein the temperature is sufficient to fuse the coating to the threads to obtain a clear coating such that when the textile is stressed the coating fractures importing a worn appearance to the stressed area of the textile.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1992Date of Patent: February 8, 1994Assignee: Worthen Industries, Inc.Inventor: Thomas E. Coughlin
