A P. GOUVEIA 3,020,168
NONWOVEN FABRICS WITH A FABRIC-LIKE APPEARANCE Feb. 6, 1962 Filed May 9, 1958 INVENTOR A. PETER GOUVEIA BY %4 .zz TORNEY United States Patent '0 3,020,168 N ON WOVEN FABRICS WITH A FABRIC-LIKE APPEARANCE A Peter Gouveia, Somerville, N.J., assignor to Johns- Manville Corporation, New York, N.Y., a corporation of New York Filed May 9, 1958, Ser. No. 734,312 2 Claims. (Cl. 117-11) This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the treatment of nonwoven fabrics to impart thereto a fabric-like appearance.
It is an object of this invention to provide a method and apparatus for applying a fluid film forming substance to a nonwoven fabric in varying concentrations to impart thereto a fabric-like appearance.
It is another object of this invention to provide a method and apparatus for imparting a fabric-like appearance to nonwoven fabrics so that the treated nonwoven fabric is more flexible in all directions.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a method and apparatus for imparting a fabric-like appearance to nonwoven fabric in which a minimum of pressure on the nonwoven material is used to obtain the fabriclike appearance.
The above objects are accomplished in accordance with the instant invention by positioning the nonwoven fabric between adjacent reaches of endless moving screens, ap plying a fluid film forming substance to the nonwoven fabric, and passing the nonwoven fabric and screens between pressure rollers so that varying amounts of pressure are applied to the nonwoven fabric thereby distributing the fluid film forming substance in varying concentrations throughout said nonwoven fabric to impart thereto a fabric-like appearance.
The invention will be more fully understood and further objects and advantages thereof will become apparent when reference is made to the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention and the accompanying drawing in which FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of apparatus of the type described in the instant application; and
FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary view in cross section taken on lines 21-2 of FIG. 1.
In accordance with the drawing, there is disclosed apparatus for imparting a fabric-like appearance to nonwoven fabric in which an endless moving screen 1 is trained for movement around a series of rollers 2. The endless screen 1, as illustrated in the drawing, moves in a counterclockwise direction. A second endless screen 3 is trained for movement around a series of rollers 4 and moves in a clockwise direction as also illustrated in the drawing. The lower reach 5 of the endless screen 3 is adjacent to the upper reach 6 of the endless screen 1 and moves in the same direction as the upper reach 6. A roll 7 of nonwoven fabric is mounted between an idler roller 8 and an adjacent roller 2 at one end of the upper reach 6 around which moves the endless screen 1. The roll 7 is held in position by conventional mechanism (not shown) which allows the nonwoven fabric to be deposited from the roll 7 onto the endless screen 1. The'unwoven fabric may, if desired, be fed continuously in any other suitable manner onto the endless screenl. A pair of positioning rollers 9 maintain the upper reach 6 of the endless screen 1 in a plane spaced a predetermined distance from the lower reach of the endless screen 3. The upper reach 6 is so positioned that as the nonwoven fabric from the roll 1 moves between the adjacent reaches 5 and 6, the nonwoven fabric is simultaneously in contact with the endless screens 1 and 3.
A vat 10 is mounted in position beneath the upper reach 6 of the endless screen 1 and is adapted to hold a supply 'ice of the fluid film forming substance. A rubber covered pickup roll 11 is mounted, by a conventional mechanism (not shown), for counterclockwise rotation as shown in the vat 10 and is arranged to transfer the fluid film forming substance from the vat 10 to the surface of the nonwoven fabric adjacent the endless screen 1. A press roll 12 is mounted, by conventional mechanism (not shown), for clockwise rotation as shown above the lower reach 5 of the endless screen 3. The press roll 12 cooperates with the roll 11 to apply a predetermined pressure to the endless screens 1 and 3 at the nip betweenthe rolls 11 and 12. Because of the mesh of the screens 1 and 3 as illustrated in FIG. 2 varying amounts of pressure are asserted upon the nonwoven fabric impregnated with the fluid film forming substance from the vat 10. As a result of this variance in pressure, the fluid film forming substance is distributed in varying concentrations throughout the nonwoven fabric to impart thereto a fabric-like appearance. In the areas of reduced pressure there is a higher concentration of the fluid film forming substance allowing for greater expansion of the nonwoven fabric.
After passing between the rolls 11 and 12, the treated nonwoven fabric moves with the screens 1 and 3 under some compression until it passes the nip between the last opposed pair of rollers 4 and 9, A transfer table 13 is positioned at the other end of the upper reach 6 of the endless screen 1 and guides the treated nonwoven fabric from the endless screen 1 to a conveyor 14 leading to an oven for curing.
In operation, a continuous strip of nonwoven material is deposited on the one end of the upper reach 6 of the endless screen 1. The nonwoven material moves with the endless screen 1 into position between the upper reach 6 of the endless screen 1 and the lower reach 5 of the endless screen 3. A layer of the fluid film forming substance is picked up by the roll 11 from the vat 10 and deposited on the surface of the nonwoven material adjacent the upper reach 6 of the endless screen 1 just prior to entering the nip between the rolls 11 and 12. A predetermined pressure is placed upon roll 12 so that rolls 11 and 12 cooperate to place a predetermined pressure on the screens 1 and 3 urging them toward each other. This predetermined pressure applied to the screens 1 and 3 is transmitted to the nonwoven fabric positioned therebetween so that the nonwoven fabric is subjected to varying amounts of pressure and so that the fluid film forming substance deposited thereon by the roll 11 is distributed in varying concentrations throughout the nonwoven fabric. The treated fabric then moves with the screens 1 and 3 under some compression until it has passed the nip between adjacent rollers 4 and 9. The treated material is then transferred from the other end of the upper reach 6 of the endless screen 1 to the conveyor 14 which leads to an oven for curing.
Successful operation of the above method and apparatus has been obtained in the treating of a nonwoven fabric with a fluid film forming substance which consisted of 1 00 parts by weight of a butadiene acrylonitrile copolymer resin manufactured and distributed by B. F. Goodrich Chemical Company identified as Hycar 1512 thoroughly mixed with 5 parts by weight of formamide. The appearance given to the nonwoven fabric may be varied by changing the mesh of the screens 1 and 3 or the pressure applied between the rolls 11 and 12. The particular fluid film forming substance may be varied to give a desired result and it is not intended to limit the invention to the foregoing example since many types of resinous material may be used. Also, both surfaces of the nonwoven fabric may be treated by arranging conveyors to direct the nonwoven fabric through additional treating apparatus arranged to apply the fluid film forming substance to the other side of the nonwoven fabric in a manner similar to that previously described.
Nonwoven fabric treated in accordance with the instant inventionhas a more pronounced fabric-like appearance than can be obtained by embossing alone, and this more pronounced appearance is obtained under considerably less pressure, Thus, nonwoven fabric treated in accordance with the instant invention is not damaged by excessively high treating pressures and therefore is more flexible in all directions.
Having thus described the invention in rather full de tail, it will be understood that these details need not be strictly adhered to and that various changes and modifications may suggest themselves to one skilled in the art, all falling within the scope of the invention as defined by the subjoined claims.
What I claim is:
