Definitions

  • Another object of this invention is to provide a screen suitable for penetration printing of carpeting and other fabrics.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a screen which is capable of simultaneously printing a plurality of colors to form a multi-colored pattern.
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide a printing screen which is capable of printing a design on carpeting material in such a manner that the design extends downwardly along the carpet pile to the backing of the carpet.
  • One embodiment of the present invention contemplates a screen made up of a plurality of cells of a porous material such as wool felt.
  • the cells are arranged in a layer and are isolated from each other by an impervious material so that when an impact force is applied to the back of the screen a coloring agent in the cells is driven with great force into a fabric contiguous with the screen.
  • FIGURE 1 is a vertical cross section showing in general one type of apparatus in which the screen of the present invention may be utilized;
  • FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of the dye carrying portion of the screen
  • FIGURE 3 is a perspective view of the face of a completed screen.
  • FIGURE 4 is an enlarged sectional view showing the type of penetration printing which can be achieved by the use of the screen of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 is a fragmentary view with portions cut away to show the relationship of the cells 12 and the partitions 14. It will be noted from this view that the partitions 14 form a grid which separates the cells from each other.
  • FIGURE 1 shows in general the type of apparatus which is used with the screen of the present invention.
  • the screen 11 is positioned with the face thereof in pontact with a carpet 17 having a backing layer 13 and tufts 19, the carpet 17 being positioned on a table 20.
  • an anvil 21 which is adapted to be struck by a hammer 22 and thereby be driven against the back of the screen 11.
  • the impact force applied to the anvil 21 by the hammer 22 is transmitted through the anvil 21 to the screen 11 to drive the coloring agent out of the porous cells 12 and into the carpet 17.
  • the screen 11, the carpet 17 and the table 20 are advanced in intermittent steps past the anvil 21.
  • the hammer 22 is actuated to strike the anvil 21 and thereby apply an impact force to the screen 11. In this manner the impact forcesvare applied to all of the cells 12 to drive the coloring agent into the carpeting 17.
  • FIGURE 4 illustrates the type of result which can be achieved by the use of this screen.
  • Portions of the tufts 19 of the carpet 17 have been cross hatched to show the location of the coloring agent in the carpet tufts after the impact step. It will be noted that the coloring agent is driven downward into the carpet tufts with almost no lateral movement of the coloring agent. This gives a deep penetration of the coloring agent into the carpet as well as resulting in a very clear color pattern.
  • FIGURE 3 illustrates a screen which may be made up to print several colors in a single printing step.
  • the groups 26-28 are cross hatched to illustrate the different colors which may be printed simultaneously.
  • Each of the cells in the groups 26-28 are filled with a coloring agent and the screen is then placed face down in contact with the carpet 17 or some other material which is to be printed.
  • the screen and the carpet are then advanced as described above past the anvil 21.
  • the impact forces applied to the back of the screen 11 will drive the coloring agent from the cells 12 to impart the color pattern established by the groups 26-28 to the carpet 17.
  • the screen 11 may be made in the following manner.
  • a block of hard wool felt is cut into thin slices. These slices are then laminated together by the use of a material such as a rubber-like elastomer which may be cured at a low temperature.
  • the resulting block is then cut into thin slices, the cutting being done along parallel planes which are perpendicular to the layers of rubber between the laminations.
  • the resulting slices are then joined together by the use of the same rubber-like material to provide a thick block having a cross sectional configuration such as that illustrated in FIGURE 2.
  • the cells 12 are three-dimensional in configuration.
  • a preferred cell dimension is 4;" along each side, the cell being cubical in form.
  • the cells can be made larger in cross sectional area but if made too large the coloring agent may tend to flow laterally to some extent rather than directly downward into the carpet, thereby resulting in a blurred color pattern.
  • other porous materials may be used for the construction of the cells 12. Materials other than a rubber-like elastomeric material may also be used for making the partitions 14 and the backing layer 13.
  • a screen for penetration printing comprising an impervious backing layer, and a porous material secured by the back face thereof to the backing layer for holding a coloring agent, said porous material having therein a plurality of impervious partitions extending from the front face thereof toward the backing layer to laterally confine the coloring agent at the front face of said porous ma- I 2.
  • a screen for penetration printing comprising a supporting backing layer, said layer having thereon a plurality of cells, each of said cells being adapted to contain a supply of a coloring agent, and a plurality of partitions positioned between the cells for preventing lateral movecent of the coloring agent from one cell to another, said cells having opened ends facing away from the supporting backing layer so that an impact force applied to the screen will drive the coloring agent out of said cells, said cells having cross-sectional dimensions of about A; inch.
  • a screen for penetration printing comprising a plurality of cells made of wool felt, said cells each having a three-dimensional configuration, said cells being positioned in a plane in spaced relationship to each other, each of said cells being adapted to hold a supply of a dye, a plurality of dye impervious walls positioned between the cells for preventing lateral movement of the dye, and a dye impervious layer secured to the cells to form a backing layer, said cells having cross-sectional dimensions of about A; inch.
