Abstract

A device for producing a pattern combination on a clothing includes the following: a rotary screen, a cylindrical jacket surface with a perforation pattern that defines a first pattern component. Material in the liquid or pasty state is pressed through the perforations of the jacket surface of the rotary screen and deposited on the surface of the clothing in order to produce the first pattern component on a surface of the clothing, while the rotary screen, rotating several times about a longitudinal axis thereof, rolls on the surface of the clothing in at least one path that continuously revolves on the surface of the clothing at least once. At least one device produces, synchronously and/or simultaneously, a second pattern component, which device is connected indirectly or directly to the rotary screen. The device for producing the pattern combination also includes a post-run system.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A device for generating a pattern combination on a clothing, the device comprising:
a rotary screen having a longitudinal axis and a cylindrical sleeve face formed with a perforated pattern determining a first pattern component;
wherein, for generating the first pattern component on a surface of the clothing, a material in a liquid or pasty state is squeezed through perforations of the sleeve face of the rotary screen and is deposited on a surface of the clothing, while said rotary screen, repeatedly rotating about said longitudinal axis, rolls at least once over the surface of the clothing on at least one continuously encircling path on the surface of the clothing;
at least one device connected to said rotary screen and configured for generating a second pattern component; and
a follower system linked to said at least one device for simultaneously generating the second pattern component; and
an extrusion head with one or a plurality of nozzles integrated in said follower system and configured for deploying the material onto the surface of the clothing.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one device for simultaneously generating the second pattern component is at least one pattern ring.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein said at least one pattern ring is disposed on an end section of said rotary screen and fixedly connected to said rotary screen.

4. The device according to claim 2 , wherein one pattern ring is disposed at each end of said rotary screen.

5. The device according to claim 2 , which comprises a plurality of pattern rings.

6. The device according to claim 2 , wherein said at least one pattern ring is formed with at least one surface shape extending circumferentially on a surface of said pattern ring.

7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein said surface shape is a channel with a shape selected from the group consisting of straight, curved, undulated, and zigzag.

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one device for simultaneously generating the second pattern component is at least one pattern ring and a shape of said at least one pattern ring is mechanically or optically detectable and traceable by said follower system.
