The printing station is located either in line and preferably upstream of the quilting station, with a conveyor ( 520 ) extending through each of the stations to convey a web of quilting material through the machine, or is off of the quilting line such that the material with a pre-applied pattern thereon is transferred, preferably in web form, to the line of the second station for the application of a pattern in registration with the first applied pattern. At the quilting station, registration longitudinal and transverse registration is measured and skewing or rotation of the material is determined. Opposite transverse sides of the material are differently adjusted to orient and register the material. A master batch controller ( 90, 135, 235, 335, 435, 535 ) assures that the proper combinations of printed and quilted patterns are combined to allow small quantities of different quilted products to be produced automatically along a material web. Ticking is preprinted with a plurality of different patterns, organized and communicated by the computer so that a print head can scan the material and print different patterns of different panels ( 32 ) across the width of a web. Identifying data ( 40 ) for matching the panels of a mattress product can be provided in data files printed on the fabric. Cutting and slitting of the panels from each other and the quilting and combining of the panels for assembly of a mattress product can be carried out manually or automatically using the data.

Printing of pattern designs with computer controlled pattern dyeing device

A plurality of jet gun bars are spaced apart along the path of travel of a textile material and responsive to pattern data to form patterns on the material. Each gun bar stores and supplies different color dyestuff to color the material. A computer, on each periodic request, supplies pattern data to a predetermined number of gun bars, thereby providing dyestuff to different pattern lines for each request. During a change from printing one pattern to printing another different pattern, for each such request the computer provides data for the other pattern to a first predetermined number of gun bars and data for the one pattern to a second predetermined number of gun bars subsequent to the first number, thereby simultaneously completing the printing of the one pattern and starting the printing of the other pattern.

Data loading and distributing process and apparatus for control of a patterning process

System for assigning discrete time periods for dye applicators in a textile dyeing apparatus

A control system for a textile dying apparatus processes and distributes digitally encoded pattern information. A substrate is moved on a path along which the surface of the substrate comes into operative range of a plurality of arrays arranged along the path of the substrate. Each of the arrays has a plurality of individual dye applicators capable of selectively projecting a stream of dye onto a predetermined portion of the substrate corresponding to a pattern element in a pattern composed of a pattern element matrix with a plurality of pattern elements in each of a plurality of pattern rows. Each pattern element is associated with a visually distinct pattern area. The dye applicators project dye for a time period determined by the pattern information. The method first determines a set of initial values. From the initial values it generates a firing command matrix having, for each dye applicator in each array, a firing command sequence corresponding to the pattern element to which that dye applicator may apply dye in each pattern row. Finally, the method allocates, for simultaneous transmission to each dye applicator in each array, the firing command sequence in the firing command matrix corresponding to the pattern element in the pattern row to be applied to the predetermined portion of the substrate that is passing within operative range of the dye applicator at the time of transmission. <IMAGE>
