Abstract
An apparatus for the application of resin material along crease line of one or more garments simultaneously by providing means which allow at least first and second cartridges containing the resin material to be mounted in a spaced relationship so as to allow resin from each of the cartridges to be dispensed simultaneously. The resin can be applied in substantially less time than conventional systems which only use one cartridge at a time.
Claims22
Apparatus for application of a fluid material along first and second, substantially parallel, crease lines of one or more garments, said apparatus including first and second cartridges in each of which a quantity of said fluid material is held so as to be dispensed therefrom through an aperture provided in said first cartridge and an aperture in said second cartridge and at least during dispensing of the fluid material the cartridges are located on mounting means which includes a body and a first receiving location for the first cartridge and a second receiving location for the second cartridge and said cartridges are spaced apart with their longitudinal axes substantially parallel, so as to dispense the fluid material from the first and second cartridges as ribbons of the fluid material along the respective first and second crease lines, said first and second cartridges and/or mounting means including guides to be moved along and in contact with the first and second crease lines during the application of the fluid material so as to guide the movement of the mounting means and first and second cartridges and wherein the mounting means includes a handle portion to be gripped by a user to move the mounting means and both of said first and second cartridges as a single unit with respect to said one or more garments so as to simultaneously dispense said fluid material from said apertures of the first and second cartridges along said respective first and second crease lines.
Apparatus for application of a fluid material along at least first and second crease lines of one or more garments, said apparatus including mounting means including a body and a first receiving location for a first cartridge and a second receiving location for a second cartridge, quantities of the fluid material held in and dispensed from said first and second cartridges via respective nozzles during relative movement between the apparatus and the one or more garments and wherein said first and second cartridges and/or mounting means include guides to be moved along and in contact with the first and second crease lines during the application of the fluid material so as to guide the movement of the mounting means and first and second cartridges and wherein the mounting means includes a handle portion to be gripped by a user to move the mounting means and both of said first and second cartridges located thereon as a single unit with respect to said one or more garments so as to simultaneously dispense ribbons of said fluid material from said respective nozzles of the first and second cartridges along said respective first and second crease lines.
