Abstract

A brush-type embroidery process, including the steps of placing a first layer of raised filler and a second layer of raised filler, which are made of EVA or foam sheet materials of the like, on a base fabric with the layer of raised fillers covering an area larger than that of the integral pattern to be embroidered; embroidering by a computerized embroidering machine through the first and second layer of raised fillers to the base fabric to present a specifically designed pattern; cutting off the threads in the crevice in-between the first and second layer of raised fillers; and taking away the remaining second layer of raised filler such that the surface stub threads will form a brush-type embroidery due to the second layer's being removed by force and the surface stub threads' being concomitantly combed by the second layer of raised filler to give the appearance of erect brush bristles.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A brush-type embroidery process, including the following steps: 
 (a) placing a first layer of raised filler and a second layer of raised filler on a base fabric with the first layer on the top of the second layer, the fillers cover an area greater than that of the integral pattern to be embroidered;    (b) embroidering by threaded needle(s) of a computerized embroidering machine through the first and second layer of raised fillers to the base fabric to present a specifically designed pattern;    (c) cutting off the threads in the crevice in-between the first and second layer of raised fillers; and    (d) taking away the remaining second layer of raised filler such that the surface stub threads will form a brush-type embroidery due to the second layer's being removed by force and the surface stub threads' being concomitantly combed by the second layer of raised filler to appear the effect of erect brush bristles.    
     
     
         2 . The brush-type embroidery process according to  claim 1 , wherein the first layer of raised filler and second layer of raised filler (interlayer) can be made of EVA material.  
     
     
         3 . The brush-type embroidery process according to  claim 1 , wherein the first layer of raised filler and second layer of raised filler (interlayer) can be made of foam sheet materials.  
     
     
         4 . The brush-type embroidery process according to  claim 1 , wherein the layer of raised fillers used in step (a) can be selected from a variety range of thickness of 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 mm and/or any measurement in between these depending on the need in process.  
     
     
         5 . The brush-type embroidery process according to  claim 1 , wherein during the step (a), to prevent the embroidering threads from sinking too deep inside of the first layer of raised fillers, a lining material such as a non-woven fabric may be additionally placed on the surface of the first layer of raised filler for sustaining purposes.  
     
     
         6 . The brush-type embroidery process according to  claim 1 , wherein during the step (b), a paper underlayer can be additionally provided beneath the base fabric to make the embroidering threads tied up firmly.  
     
     
         7 . The brush-type embroidery process according to  claim 1 , wherein during the step (c), the threads in the crevice in-between the first and second layer of raised fillers can be cut off by a knife.  
     
     
         8 . The brush-type embroidery process according to  claim 1 , wherein after accomplishing the step (c), appropriate applicable resin (such as polyvinyl white resin) may be applied to the threads beneath the base fabric and dried up for setting purposes.  
     
     
         9 . The brush-type embroidery process according to  claim 1 , wherein after accomplishing the step (c), resin may be applied to the threads beneath the base fabric and a fabric lining may be further adhered onto the threads beneath the base fabric for setting purposes.  
     
     
         10 . The brush-type embroidery process according to  claim 1 , wherein after accomplishing the step (c), a self-adhesive lining fabric lining may be adhered to the undersurface of the threads beneath the base fabric.  
     
     
         11 . The brush-type embroidery process according to  claim 1 , wherein during the step (a), each of the first and second layer of raised fillers may be an inclined or curved board having an uneven height.  
     
     
         12 . The brush-type embroidery process according to  claim 1 , wherein during the step (c), the threads on the surface of the first layer of raised filler may be cut or ground off by manual or electric cutters or sanders.  
     
     
         13 . The brush-type embroidery process according to  claim 1  or  5 , wherein during the step (c), the threads on the surface of the lining material may be cut or ground off by manual/electric cutters or sanders.  
     
     
         14 . A brush-type embroidery process, including the following steps: 
 (a) placing a sheet of raised filler on a base fabric, the raised filler covers an area larger than that of the integral pattern to be embroidered;    (b) embroidering by threaded needle(s) of a computerized embroidering machine through the raised filler to the base fabric to present a specifically designed pattern;    (c) cutting off the threads on the raised filler; and    (d) taking away the raised filler such that the surface stub threads will form a brush-type embroidery due to the raised filler's being removed and the surface stub threads' being concomitantly combed by the raised filler to appear the effect of erect brush bristles.
