16 Claims.
This invention relates to a decorative upholstery fabric adapted for use on the interior of motor vehicles or the like, and to an improved method of manufacturing the same.
Heretofore, decorative upstanding ridge designs have been provided on the outer face of the fabric by mounting the fabric. on a heavy backing board of thermoplastic material and embossing a design in both the panel and cover fabric. This method frequently injured the expensive cover fabric and it was difllcult to obtain a satisfactory bond between the backing board and fabric. Occasionally the asphaltum base used in the backing board would migrate through the cover fabric and discolor the same. Another diificulty was in that it was impossible to produce an embossing of narrow width as the material could not be bent sharply without rupturing the same.
In order to overcome some of the dimculties of the embossing method described above other attempts were made to place riser members or cores between the cover fabric and backing panel and sew the cloth to the panel as close to the riser as possible. This expedient was costly, particularly .where the design was not in perfectly straight lines, and the sewing through the panel board produced a line of weakening which was not desirable.
In the present invention practically all of the dimculties mentioned above have been overcome by utilizing an adhesive material of great strength which preferably is 'thermo-setting. An improved method is provided wherein it is en tirely unnecessary to sew the risers or cores in position and the labor costs are materially reduced. The final product is permanent, waterproof, and flexible so that it may be stretched over and secured to a backing panel adapted for use in the interior trim work on an automobile.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a broken sectional view showing a strip of fabric in a hot press which cures the thermo-setting material; Fig. 2, a broken perspective view of a strip of material, carrying suitable riser members, before it is applied to the cover fabric; Fig. 3, a broken perspective view of the assembly after a design hasbeen applied to a cover fabric; Figs. 4 and 5, end elevational views of a strip showing modified forms of riser members; and'Fig. 6, an end elevational view of a strip carrying soft riser members and provided with a paper backing strip.
in the embodiment illustrated, A designates a suitable press which may be heated to set the adhesive material; B, a cover fabric adapted to receive a permanent ornamental design: 0, riser members or cores adapted to be secured in welts produced inthe cover fabric in a desired design; and D, a strip of adhesive material which preferably is thermo-setting and is adapted tobecome permanently secured to the coverfabric B by means of a heat and pressure treatment.
In practicing the invention on a production basis preferably a plurality of hotpresses A are arranged in a line to be handled by one operator. In this way the operator can be reloading other presses while the heat treatment is being applied to cure the thermosetting material. Preferably the press A comprises a supporting plate I which is grooved to receive a die plate 8 having a detion is as follows:
sign desired to be produced in the final product. The die and plate I may be heated by a suitable steam box 9. This arrangement permits'dies of various-designs to be placed in the press as desired. Above the dies is an upper presser member III which is provided with suitable hinges and clamping devices, not shown, so that it may be lowered conveniently to compress material to be treated. The upper member is also provided with suitable heating means such as a steam box H.
The cover fabric B may be of any suitable material commonly used in upholstery work and usually has an outer finish face I! and a backing face l3.
The riser members C may be of any suitable fibrous material such as twisted paper, fibrous cords, or the like. The risers ,shown inFigs. 1-3, inclusive, are of twisted kraft paper and have a circular cross-section. The risers l5, shown in Fi 4, may be of cured rubber or the like and are shown having a semi-circular crosssection. The risers l8. shown in Fig. 5, have a somewhat different shape and may be formed of any fibrous flexible material. In Fig. 6 soft risers II are made of cellulose and are enclosed by'a thread-like net I 8 to loosely confine them in a somewhat elliptical shape.
The strip D may be thermoplastic and of resinous, composition, but preferably the material is thermo-setting and is a rubberous material which cures rapidly at comparatively low temperatures. Material of this general character has been used for inner tube patches in automobile tires for many years.

The method of decoratingthe upholstery fab- 1 ric'is a's'follows: theicover fabric'B is placed over the die head .Bwith the outer face downward; the strip D, carrylng therisers C, is then 1 applied to the fabricvfrom above gently pressthe fabricaround the risers as they press the fabric into the female portion of the die; the upper heated presser plate is then lowered and clamped tightly in position andthe material is held in this position for about two and one-half minutes to permit the sulphur in the rubberousbase to migrateiand vulcanize the strip D to the cover fabric. [-As' the heat is applied the rubber will be molded into the'inter- 'stices between the lower portion-of the risers and the, corner portions of the fabric'so as to form avery tight and permanent" bond which gives the finished design an improved appearance as suitable'backingpanel and the fabric may be stretched tightly without injury If desired an additi'onal'sheet ous material maybe applied over the risers l4 before the strip is brought into contact with the rubber encloses the risers and the ris-: ers' themselves will be vulcanized directly to the fabric. This will providea-thin-iilm of which completely fabric. This expedient, however, is not necessaryto obtain a satisfactory product for most uses.

presser-plates or heads of the press may be heated by steam electricity, or in any other desired manner. K V p I H 5 While thermoplastic and thermo-'setting adhe-j, sives composed of synthetic resinsmay'be used in certain kinds of work, the finished product is usually brittle and accordingly less desirable.
Also, with adhesives not having a rubber base it is hard to obtain a satisfactory-bond without haying -the adhesive show-through the cover fabric." I
The foregoing 'deta'iled description has been givenfor cle'arness of understanding only, and
the cover fabric and:

Suitable wadding or cotton batting m'ay be applied between no unnecessary limitations should be understood therefrom, but the appended claims should be construed as broadly as permissible, in view of the prior art. i I
