| abstract |
NON-WOVEN MATERIAL 3 IS APPLIED TO THE SURFACE OF A BASIC MATERIAL 1 ANALOGUE TO A FABRIC. THEN, THE EMBOSSING OF THE COMPOSITE STRUCTURE IS CARRIED OUT, AND DURING THE EMBOSSING OPERATION, A UNIFORM COLORING IS OBTAINED IN THE EMBOSSED REGIONS. THE EMBOSSED DESIGN IS PLACED BY A HEATED EMBOSSING APPARATUS ON THE COMPOSITE STRUCTURE AND IN THE EMBOSSED REGIONS THE EMBOSSING HEAT CAUSES PARTIAL FUSION OF THE NONWOVEN MATERIAL 3, WHICH TAKES A TEXTURED EFFECT THAT REFLECTS THE MATERIAL BASE 1. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRESENT INVENTION, A NON-WOVEN FABRIC 3 COMPRISING AT LEAST 50 OF POLYESTER FIBERS IS USED, WHICH HAS THE SURPRISED AND UNEXPECTED EFFECT THAT THE COLOR OF THE EMBOSSED REGIONS IS THE SAME BASIC COLOR AS THAT OF THE NON-EMBOSSED REGIONS. BUT DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST BY A SENSITIVE VARIATION OF SHADE, WHICH IS UNIFORM THROUGHOUT THE LENGTH OF THE EMBOSSED SURFACE. |
