Abstract
Abstract This invention provides an apparatus for the dry thermal transfer of organic compounds, preferably of textile finishing agents, onto webs of organic materials, in particular textile webs and carpets, by means of needle-bearing supports. The apparatus comprises means for: 1. applying of a preparation which contains a transferable organic compound to the needle side of the support 2. bringing said needle side of the support into contact with the web, whereby support and web rest against one another, 3. subjecting the support and/or the web to that until the compound has transferred under atmospheric pressure to the web 4. separating the treated textile web from the support.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
An apparatus comprising: a. a longitudinally-movable web-like support, having metal needles mounted on one side thereof perpendicular to the plane of the support; b. means for applying a heat-transferable organic compound to the needles of the support; c. means for feeding a textile web into superposed contact with the needles of the support; d. means for moving the textile web and the needle-bearing support in contact therewith, longitudinally, to pass both through a needle-heating zone and pass the textile web thought a warming zone; e. means for heating the needles at a temperature high enough to cause the heat transference of the organic compound from the needles to the textile web; f. means for separating the textile web, bearing the heat-transferred organic compound, from the needle-bearing support; and g. means for warming the textile web at a temperature high enough to fix the heat-transferred organic compound to the textile web.
