Abstract
A method for the production of a patterned fabric comprising producing a design pattern, elongating the design pattern in length in proportion to the length of the pile warp yarn to the length of the ground warp yarn, engraving the elongated design onto printing rollers or rotary screens and printing the design onto the pile warp yarn, and winding the printed warp onto a warp beam, transferring the printed pile warp beam to a terry loom and weaving a terry fabric with the length of the pile warp yarn in a predetermined ratio to the length of the ground warp yarn to form the pile.
Claims6
A method for the production of a patterned terry fabric comprising producing a design pattern, elongating the design pattern in length in proportion to a predetermined ratio of the length of the pile warp yarn relative to the length of the ground warp yarn, engraving the elongated design onto printing rollers or rotary screens and printing the elongated design onto the pile warp yarn, winding the printed pile warp yarn onto a warp beam, transferring the printed pile warp beam to a terry loom, and in association with ground yarn weaving a terry fabric with the length of the pile warp yarn being supplied in the predetermined ratio to the length of the ground warp yarn to form the pile.
A method for the production of a patterned terry fabric comprising producing a pattern of the design elongating the design pattern only in length in proportion to a predetermined ratio of the length of the pile warp yarn relative to the length of the ground warp yarn, engraving the elongated design onto printing rollers or rotary screens and printing the elongated design onto the pile warp yarn, drying the printed yarn and winding the printed yarn through an expanding comb onto a warp beam, transferring the pile warp beam to a terry loom employing tappet or dobby mechanism, maintaining the yarn equally spaced over the width of the fabric, and weaving a terry fabric with the length of the printed pile warp yarn being supplied in the predetermined ratio to the ground warp yarn to form the pile with an identical pattern of each side of the fabric.
