An apparatus and method for using the apparatus are provided for continuously applying a dot pattern of a non-slip composition to a plurality of garments. The apparatus includes a delivery unit for delivering the plurality of garments and a transfer unit for imprinting continuously the dot pattern in the plurality of garments. The transfer unit includes a transfer roller which basically is a screen in the form of a cylinder having a plurality of holes provided therein arranged in the dot pattern to be imprinted in the garments. A unit is provided for introducing the composition into the transfer roller. A further unit is provided for forcing the composition through the plurality of holes. A transfer belt is provided and is positioned adjacent the transfer roller and is adapted to continuously receive the dot patterns of the composition from the transfer roller and transfer them onto the garments delivered by the delivery unit. The dot patterns are dried while the garments are in contact with the transfer belt.
Apparatus for continuously applying a dot pattern of a non-slip composition to a plurality of garments, said apparatus including delivery means for delivering said plurality of garments and transfer means for continuously imprinting said dot pattern onto said plurality of garments, said transfer means including a transfer roller comprising a screen with a plurality of holes provided therein arranged in the dot pattern which is to be imprinted onto said garments, means for introducing said composition into said transfer roller, means for forcing said composition through said plurality of holes, a rotating transfer belt positioned adjacent to said transfer roller and adapted to continuously receive said dot pattern of said composition from said transfer roller and transfer the dot pattern of said composition onto said garments delivered by said delivery means, and heating means adapted to heat said rotating transfer belt to accelerate the drying of the non-slip composition imprinted onto said garments while said garments are in contact with said belt.
A method for applying dot patterns of a non-slip composition continuously to a plurality of garments, said method comprising the steps of:
