Abstract
An improved method for manufacturing an artificial fur from an intermediate pile cloth such as a double velvet weave fabric, a knitted pile fabric provided with two ground constructions and a connecting pile connecting these two ground constructions, and an intermediate pile cloth provided with looped pile projected upward from a ground construction fabric or knitted fabric or non-woven fabric. In the method of this invention, the continuity of the pile yarns of the intermediate pile cloth is broken by sliding separation, so as not to break at least a partial number of fibrous material which will become guard hair of the artificial fur.
Claims48
In a method of manufacturing artificial fur, the steps which comprise:
- (a) forming a pair of spaced-apart ground constructions and a connecting pile comprising a plurality of staple pile fibers comprising a first group of fibrous materials of a denier and length sufficient to form the guard hairs of said artificial fur, having tapered ends, and a second group of fibrous materials of a denier and length to form the underfur of said artificial fur, said pile fibers extending in yarn-like form across the intervening space between said ground constructions, said fibers being maintained in continuity by a binder material, some of the fibers being attached to one but not the other of said ground constructions and others of the fibers being attached to the other but not the one of said ground constructions,
- (b) breaking the continuity of said pile fibers by liberating said fibers from said binder material, and
- (c) causing longitudinal sliding separation of said liberated fibers between said spaced-apart ground constructions, such that at least some of the said fibers are longitudinally slidingly separated but not broken.
