Description
~LZ3'7~93 S P E C I F I C A T I O N
1 This invention relates to the art of appliqueing, and is more particularly c~ncerned with providing a new and improved method of and means for combination design transfer and application of heat reactivatable adhesive - 5 especially useful for appliquéing.
There are now avialable on the market heat transfer patterns for embroidery or ball point painting, and the like. These transfers are printed on paper, and by applying the printed face of the paper onto a piece of cloth and 10 applying heat as by means of a hot iron, the printed pattern will transfer to the cloth. Thereafter the pattern may be used for embroidering or other decorative purposes in respect to the fabric upon which the pattern has been transferred.
If desired, of course, the designs which have been transfereed and embroidered or otherwise treated on the base cloth may be trimmed out and appliqued to another base if desired.
Much appliqueing is effected by merely sewing the 20 appliqué pieces to the base material.
On the other hant~ ere ha~ d@velope~l ~ popular form of appliquéing which comprises interposing heat reactivatable adhesive in a dry mesh form between the appliqu0 and the base sheet and effecting adherence of the appliqué to the 25 base sheet by applying heat and pressure to the assembly whereby the heat reactivatable mesh fuses and then sets and adhesively bonds the appliqué to the base, and then some-times sewing the edges of the applique piece.
By the pres~lt invention, a substantial improvement 30 in appliquéing is E ovided by combining applique pattern design transfers with the heat reactivatable adhesive sheet -1- ~
~23~93 1 material so that the pattern or design can be applied to the desired applique fabric coincident with fusing and laminating the adhesive sheet layer to the back of the applique material. Therafter the applique material may be cut into appliqué pieces by following the transfer pattern on the back face of the appliqué fabric, and the ~ pieces assembled with a base, whether a fabric or nonfabric and to which the appliqué pieces are then adapted to be bonded by reactivating the adhesive on the back faces of the pieces.
Pursuant to the principles of the present invention, there is provided a method of providing means for combination applique design pattern transfer and adhesive lamination to appliqué material, comprising supplying a sheet of heat reactivatable adhesive, and imprinting an applique design pattern onto the sheet, so that by fusing and laminating the adhesive sheet with the appliqué design pattern thereon onto appliqué material the appliqué design pattern will be transferred to said appliqué material.
The present invention also provides means for com-bination appliqué design pattern transfer and adhesive lamination to applique material, comprisincJ a sheet oE
heat reactivatable adh~sive, and an ~p~ ue design pat-tern imprintecl orrto said sheet, so that by fusing and laminating said adhesive sheet with said appliqué design pattern thereon onto appliqué material said appliqu~ design pattern wi.ll be transferred to said applique material.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, although variations and modifica-tions may be effected without departing from the spirit and ~23~89;~
1 scope of the novel concepts of the disclosure, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of an applique panel produced according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of a heat reactivatable adhesive sheet on which has been imprinted design pattern for the applique pieces which have been assembled in the article of FIG. l;
FIG. 3 demonstrates a step in the method of applying the patterned heat reactivatable adhesive to appli~ue material and concurrently transferring the design patterns to the material;
FIG. 4 demonstrates a preliminary step in appliquëing the appliqué pieces to the base panel;
FIG. 5 shows a further step in appliquéing the article; and FIG. 6 is a fragmentary sectional detail view taken substantially along the line VI-VI in FIG. 5.
By way of example, there is depicted in FIG. 1 an applique article comprising a bas~e panel 10 having appliqued thereto a multipiece design which may comprise an arrange-ment of multicolored pieces, in this instance representlll~3 a flower basket, although it will be understood that any preferred appliqué design may be provided. As shown, the appliqué design comprises a yellow basket 11 having a handle 12. In the basket i5 a flower arrangement comprising a yellow flower 13 having a pink (red) center 1, pink (red) flowers 15 having yellow centers 17, and an array of green leaves 18 arranged artistically about the flowers. If desired some or all of the appliqué pieces may hate their edges hemstitched as indicated at 19.
'7~393 1 According to the present invention patterns for the appliqué pieces are printed on heat reactivatable adhesive sheet material 20 (FIG. 2). Adhesive sheet material for this purpose may be of a kind such as is readily obtainable in retail establishments catering to the applique trade, and produced by ~arious manufacturers under ~arious designations and formulations. One popular brand is known as Stitch Witchery, which is a trademark of USM Corp. This material, generally referred to as fusible webbing, is a mesh structure web supplied as a thin sheet of securely bonded interlaced thin strands or fibers of the adhesive, which is a polyamide plastic. It is dry, solid and non-tacky and is form-retaining at temperatures well above maximum atmospheric weather temperatures, and will fuse, that is melt, at about 210F to 250F. whereby to form an adhesive bond for compatible surfaces, and in particular most fabric material surfaces, paper, wood, and the like, and at least those materials which are commonly used for appliquéing.
A unique aspect of the present invention resides in that the patterns for the applique pices are imprinted directly on the adhesive webbin~3 sheek 20. ~s shown, patterns for the various appli~ue pieces of the completed article in FIG. 1 are identified by the same reference numerals with the subscript "a". Thus, the pattern outline for the b~sket 11 is identified as lla and its handle as 12a, the yellow flower pattern 13a, its center pattern 14a, the pattern outlines for the pink flowers are 15a, the outlines for their centers 17a, and the outlines for the leaf pieces 18a.
~L~3~893 1 Arrangement of the various appliqué pattern outlines is desirably in designated areas on the sheet 20. For example, all of the patter~s for green pieces are, as shown, confined to an area G, the red or pink patterns to an area R and the yellow patterns to area Y. To facilitate this segregation of the various patterns, the areas G, R
and Y may be separated by imprinted delineations or subdivision lines 21 on the sheet 20.
Imprinting the patterns on the adhesive sheet 20 may be effected in any suitable manner by means of colored lineation as by cornmercial printing techniques, by block printing, such as by wood blocks or rubber stamps, by silk screening, by direct outlineing by means of penci;, crayon, felt or ball point pen; or by impressed lineation comprising pressing or slotting the pattern lines in the adhesive sheet; and the like. Thus, while the imprinted mesh plastic material may be supplied with commercially imprinted pattern designs, a user may exercise his own artistic ingenuity in creating his own designs by means of a preferably ink applying implement, although crayon type marking pencils and stubby point lead pencils may bc usecl but are not as easy to use on this ma~erial as th0 ink applying appliances.
Initially patterns imprinted on the interlaced thin strands or fibers of the adhesive material appear light, but distingusihable because of the openings between the strands and fibers of the adhesive material. After fusing the pattern to the back side of almost any appliqué
material whether white or black, or heavily patterned, the ir ?rint becomes more distingusihable, since the pattern 1 Ies, which were interrupted on the original fusible webbing, are now mostly connected because of the melting ~23'~3 1 of the fusible webbing.
Furthermore, black lined imprinted patterns are even distinguishable on black or heavily patterned cloths because the adhesive acts as a carrier and provides a lighter and shiny background for the black printed pattern _ lines.
Transference of the patterns imprinted on the adhesive mesh or solid sheet or web 20 onto applique material, which may be any suitable material but generally fabric is adapted to be effected by fusibly applying the heat reactivatable adhesive material ~0 to the applique/
material by fusing heat and pressure. This is conveniently and efficiently effected as demonstrated in FIG. 3, by placing onto a firm backing surface 22 and underlay pressing sheet surface 23 which is nonadherent to the fused adhesive, and then superimposing the imprinted adhesive web 20 on the underlay pressing sheet surface. The desired applique material is placed on the adhesive web 20. In order to attain the shade or color differentiation of the various applique pieces to be produced, the appliqué material overlying the areas G, R and Y of the heat reactivatable adhesive web 20 will conform to the ~.t~erenti~tincJ color scheme~ Thus, the appli~ué material to overlay the mesh plastic sheet area G, and identified as ~G, may be green, the appliqué material overlying the area R, an~ identified as MR may have the desired pink or red shade, and the appliqué material overlying the area Y and identified as MY may have the desired yellow shade.
Transference of the appliqué patterns to the applique sheets MG, MR and MY, and fusing of the adhesive materia ~L2;:~7~393 1 of the adhesive web 20 to the appliqué material is desir-ably effected by applying an overlay pressing sheet 23, which is nonadherent to the fused adhesive, and which may be a folded over portion of the underlay sheet 23, onto the assembly of appliqué material and underlying pattern-carrying heat reactivatable adhesive sheet 20. Then fusing heat and pressure are adapted to be applied to the assembly through the overlying pressing sheet 23 as by means of a pressing iron 24, whereby the adhesive sheet is fused and, in effect, laminated to the under sides or surfaces of the sheets of appliquéing material. Then, when the adhesive material has set onto the applique material sheets. Removal of the pressing sheet 23, which strips cleanly from the fused and set adhesive layer, releases the laminated assembly for further processing.
Material suitable for the pressing sheet 23 comprises polytetrafluoroethylene film of approximately .001 inch to .005 inch in thickness, or a parchment like silicone treated paper of about the same thickness. These materials are readily available, are nonadherent to at least the fused polyamide adhesive material, and are free ~rom deterioration when subject to temperatur~s well above pressing iron temperatures which may be as high as up to 500F when rapid action is desired.
A number of the laminated assemblies o~ fused heat reactivatable adhesive and applique material may be stacked and stored for future use.
For appliqueing, the individually outlines pieces are adapted to be cut as by means of trimming shears from the laminated sheet, and each of the a pliqué pieces will carry on its entire back the laminated 1 yer of fused heat 123'7893 1 reactivatable adhesive. The applique pieces are then adapted to be assembled onto the base panel 10 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
For example, the basic hasket piece 11 with its handle 12 may be positioned as desired on the base panel 10 - and fusedly bonded to the base panel 10 by application of heat and pressure as by means of the heated iron 24. A
plurality of the pieces may be fusedly bonded in place at the same time if desired such, for example, as the flower pieces 13 and 15 which interfit with one another and the basket piece 11 and its handle 12. These pieces are relatively position supportive with respect to one another.
The applique design may then be completed as indicated in FIG. 5, by assembling the remaining applique pieces trimmed from the adhesive-fabric laminate, and applying heat and pressure to the assembly as by means of the iron 24 to complete the appliqué design. In this final bonding of appliqué pieces, the leaf pieces 18 are bondecl to the base panel 10, and the center pieces 14 and 17 are bonded to their respective flower patterns.
The resulting applique article wlLl have the variou~
pieces ~ir~ly bonded in the assembly by the heat reactiva-table adhesive means 20 as best visualized in FIG. 6 where the appliqué pieces which are in direct face-to-face relation to the base panel 10 are directly bonded to the base panel by the adhesive 20 and the pieces superimposed on the thus bonded pieces, such as the center pieces 17 are bonded by the adhesive to the appliqué pieces on which they are superimposed. After all of the applique pieces have been adhesively ~onded to the base panel 10, the hem stitching 19 may be c)plied if desired.
