Definitions

  • the present invention method of manufacture especially knitted stockings and tigh has essentially for its object a of printed textile articles and tgogilsskandfitlrosiery, in particular thin 1nmg garments f prgterile tarticles are known which are progid i v v ii h an pa erns or designs.
  • Such printed articles are usuvgzrrlnicgted w th small-scale production e e artlc es, such as scarves, have the printing may be performed more or less in siiii s b sgg tar lnstance such techniques as serigraphy.
  • b e invention has for its ob'ect to e facture of printed articles and in particulzi r 3 135:; k i t t d d artlcles and hosiery, especially thin stockings and tights for sk n fitting garments for women, the method of the nvention enabling if desired, to effect the printing on an industrial scale at corresponding costs.
  • the method according to the invention uses a printed textlle article manufacturing process wherein the desired printing is obtained by providing the article with a photosensitive substance at a given moment during its treatment, sub ecting it subsequently to a photographic exposure whlch acts on the said substance, and thereafter develop ng and fixing the said exposed substance on the sa1d article.
  • Methods of this type were known in the prior art and used for photographic printing of fabrics laid fiat.
  • the method is characterized in that in being applied to shaped or non-shaped articles such as knitted articles and hosiery, especially thin stockings and tights for women, the said photographic exposure is carried out while the article is fitted on a form with the entire inside surface of the tubular garment continuously contacts the inserted tubular form.
  • the photographic exposure may be performed for instance on a form bearing the pattern to be reproduced and illuminated during the exposure, for instance from the inside, and during an appropriate period of time by means of a radiation source to which the said photosensitive substance is sensitive.
  • the photosensitive substance which enables to transfer the design or pattern onto the form may be constituted in various manners.
  • the emulsion may be applied for instance by way of coating or impregnation.
  • the photosensitive substance may be included in a solution, paste or paint.
  • the fixation on the article, for instance on a nylon stocking or tights, may be obtained by using a glue or adhesive or finish according to the methods known in the manufacture of dyed or printed textile articles.
  • the photosensitive substance may be included in the textile material itself, for instance in the fibres constituting the same.
  • the fibres may be provided with coloured pigments which will cause their colour to change when the fibres are suitably exposed.
  • the photographic printing may be effected by means of any suitable radiation to which the photosensitive substance used is sensitive. Infra-red (heating), visible (according to conventional photographic techniques) or ultraviolet (according to the conventional techniques used 1n the printing of drawings) may be used. X or 7 radiation may also be used.
  • the photographic exposure may be effected simply, as already stated in the foregoing, by fitting the article onto a form bearing the design or pattern to be reproduced and illuminated from the inside by means of a source of sensitizing radiation.
  • the form may be made from transparent or translucid plastics on which the positive or negative design to be reproduced are drawn.
  • the method may be carried out by using several forms and the design reproduced on the article from each form may correspond to a given colour.
  • the photographic printing may also be carried out from the outside instead of the inside of the form.
  • the article may be fitted onto the form and the latter while turning on itself may be subjected to the light beam of an image which may possibly change or pass along.
  • the form may be stationary and the image may be projected on the form all around the latter, either by means of a convergent cylindrical beam or by means of a light beam moving round the form.
  • FIG. 1 diagrammatically illustrates the sequence of successive operations used in carrying out the method of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view illustrating diagrammatically and to a larger scale one of the steps of the manufacturing process illustrated in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a top view of FIG. 2
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a form which may be used in carrying out the photographic printing according to the invention.
  • FIG. 5 diagrammatically illustrates an alternative process of photographic exposure of the article fitted onto a form according to the method of the invention
  • FIG. 6 is a view similar to that of FIG. 2 illustrating a further alternative process of photographic exposure of an article fitted onto a form according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 illustrating a succession of operations enabling to carry out the photographic printing, for instance on stockings.
  • the dyed stocking impregnated with sensitive material and fitted onto its form 13- is thereafter subjected to photographic exposure during the fourth stage of the process.
  • This stage is denoted by the numeral 4 in FIG. 1.
  • the form 13 is illuminated from the inside by luminescent tubes 14 and it rotates on the plate 25 driven by a roller 26 mounted on the shaft .27 of an electric motor 28.
  • the form 13 bears designs or patterns 19 on its external surfaces.
  • the form may be constituted by a cylinder made from transparent or translucid plastics or from any other equivalent or suitable material, and it may be decorated externally, internally or in its mass by any method leaving its imprint, so that during illumination from the inside by means of the tubes 14, the stocking 12 is subjected to the photographic exposure of an image.
  • the stocking "12 with a light sensitive material there is formed on the stocking a latent image which it is thereafter sufficient to develop and fix.
  • a drying operation is carried out by making hot air circulate as diagrammatized by the arrows f, in order to dry the stocking 12 on its form 13.
  • the stocking 15 having a latent image and partially dryed is stored on the form 13 in an atmosphere which enables to disclose the image.
  • the atmosphere is basic, for instance ammoniacal. This developing and disclosing stage is denoted at 5- in FIG. 1.
  • the latter is fixed on the fabric.
  • This is the fixing operation denoted at 6 in FIG. 1.
  • the fixation is advantageously effected on the form, for instance by means of steam, under pressure or not.
  • the steam causes the dye stuffs to penetrate into the fabric.
  • the articles 17 are withdrawn from the form 13 and carefully washed in a bath 18- as illustrated at 7 in FIG. 1.
  • a light sensitive material is introduced, which is constituted in the following manner: from 3 to 10 g. per litre of a diazo dye salt such as diazo salt marketed by the firm Francolor from 1 to 3 g. per litre of resorcin from 3 to 10 g. per litre of tartaric acid 10 g. per litre of glycerin ensuring the penetration and dispersion of the products in the emulsion 10 g. per litre of a finish or an emulsion such as lanolin emulsion forming a thickening agent, selected for instance among the products sold by Socit Ciba and known under the denomination Sapamine (registered trademark).
  • a diazo dye salt such as diazo salt marketed by the firm Francolor from 1 to 3 g. per litre of resorcin from 3 to 10 g. per litre of tartaric acid 10 g. per litre of glycerin ensuring the penetration and dispersion of the products in the emulsion 10 g
  • the article is thereafter subjected to photographic exposure during the required time depending on the concentration of sensitive material, the light energy used and the ntaure of the image borne by the form.
  • the article is stored on its form in an ammonia gas atmosphere which develops the dye-stuff in all the areas where it has not been destroyed by the light.
  • ammonia gas atmosphere which develops the dye-stuff in all the areas where it has not been destroyed by the light.
  • the stocking areas which have been protected from light appear in chestnut colour.
  • the stocking is suitably rinsed so as to be freed from the residual products which have not reacted.
  • EXAMPLE 2 The same process as in Example 1 is applied, except that a pyrazolin salt is used instead of resorcin.
  • the image which may be called positive since it appears there where the light has not reached the stocking appears in red on a white background and not in chestnut colour on a white background.
  • EXAMPLE 3 The same process is applied as in Examples 1 and 2, except that phloroglucin is used instead of resorcin. The image this time appears in grey on a white background.
  • EXAMPLE 4 The same process is applied as in Examples 1, 2 or 3, except that instead of degreasing or in addition to degreasing, the stocking proceeding from the knitting machine is dyed.
  • the impregnation with sensitive material may be carried out simultaneously with the dyeing or subsequent to dyeing.
  • the positive image formed appears on a coloured background and not on a white background as previously.
  • EXAMPLE 5 The same process is applied as in the preceding ex amples, except that the sensitive material is replaced by a dyestuff of the type known under the trademark Indigosol supplied by the Sandoz laboratories or Solasol supplied by the Francolor laboratories.
  • the printing obtained is a negative printing, i.e. the image subsequent to development appears coloured in the areas where the light has not reached the stoeldng.
  • the photographic exposure of a stocking 20 fitted onto a cylindrical form 21 is effected not from the inside but from the outside by means of a projector 22 rotating about the stocking and illuminating it by a light beam 23. Any desired image may thus be projected on the stocking.
  • the form 21 may be made to rotate about its axis, the projector 22 remaining stationary.
  • the illumination of a form 29 is effected from the inside by means of a projector 24 which may be constituted for instance by an electronic flash.
  • a reflector 30 mounted in the lower portion of the form 29 reflects the light provided by the flash.
  • This arrangement offers a certain number of advantages as compared to the form of embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • a method of photoprinting on a continuously tubular knitted garment element comprising: impregnating said garment element with light-sensitive substance opening a tubular section in said element and coaxially mounting it on, coaxially tubular form with the entire inside surface of the tubular garment element continuously contacting said form, photographically projecting a peripherally continuous design onto said light-sensitive impregnating substance in the tubular garment element which contacts the form, axially removing the garment element from the form, and developing and fixing the projected design on the garment element.
  • tubular form is translucent and carries a design to be reproduced on the garment element.
