摘要:
A novel process is disclosed for forming cushion articles with a cloth covering dyed and set as the cushion forms a male mold for the covering. The process entails placing unfinished cloth over a three-dimensional mold and dyeing and teating the cloth while on the mold so that the cloth will be colored and will retain the predetermined shape when removed from the mold. The cloth may be an undyed polyester product which is dyed by optionally first chemically treating the cloth to lower the fabric heat history characteristics and hence its ability to absorb dye and then by dipping the cloth and mold into a dye bath. The dye bath may be heated above the heat set threshold of the polyester fabric so that the dyeing step is performed at the same time as the step to effect the set or dimensional stability of the fabric.

A novel process is disclosed in which garments and other cloth items are formed into their predetermined three dimensional shapes. Unfinished cloth is used to construct a shell which is then completely finished while maintained in the shape of the final product on a mold. The invention is also directed to the products obtained from the novel process and to the one-piece pattern used in the manufacture of pant garments in accord with the process of the present invention.

摘要:
An apparatus for use in forming fabric into a predetermined threedimensional shape. The apparatus includes a contoured mold (10) having at least two parts (12,14) which are movable between a retracted position and an expanded position. A fabric holding mechanism is provided for holding a fabric shell placed over the mold (10) in fixed position on the mold (10) when the mold parts (12,14) are in expanded condition. A driving assembly is mounted on one of the mold parts and operatively associated with the other mold part for effecting relative expansion thereof.
