Abstract:

Apparatus to pattern brush pile fabric which has been pre-heated so that the pattern brushed into the pile fabric will remain as the fabric cools. An adjustable fabric pressure rod positions the fabric in a pre-determined position relative to the bristles of the rotating brush. To provide the desired pattern on the surface of the pile fabric, a plurality of movable reed members deflect the bristles of the rotating brush.
