Light reflecting coating application - by heating plastic foil carrying glass beads in adhesive layer under vacuum

Umbrellas, made of a light reflecting material, make a pedestrian carrying one, even when folded up, clearly visible to any car driver in the dark. A carrier foil, e.g. PVC, is coated with minute 30-40 mu) glass beads, half coated with a reflecting Al layer by using a fusible adhesive. Shapes (trianges, circules) are cut from this and applied to the umbrella material. When this is heated briefly in a vacuum chamber, the carrier foil patterns form a lasting bond with the umbrella material. This makes the umbrellas washable and the reflective particles cannot crumble away even after repeated folding and unfolding of the umbrella.

A fabric sheet is embossed with a pattern using an embossing die pair. A mesh interfacing sheet has resin elements fused to it in the same pattern by a similar embossing die pair. When the resin elements are in a pattern of singular, scattered motifs, the mesh interfacing sheet is cut in such a manner that all of the resin elements within the mesh interfacing piece are whole, and no resin elements touch or are close to the edges of the cut sheet. In the case of a continuous pattern, the closest distance between an edge of the mesh interfacing sheet and the final fabric pattern piece will be at least 0.5 inch. The cut mesh interfacing piece is aligned and fused with the embossed fabric piece, and the composite fabric piece is cut to make a final pattern piece. This method produces final pattern pieces that do not have resin material running into the portions that will be sewn to other fabric pieces. These final pattern pieces have a marginal area around the peripheral edges where there is no resin-filled elements and where a seam may be sewn. Thus, there will be no sewing of a seam through any of the resin-filled elements. As a result, pieces with raised embossing elements may be sewn to other pieces to construct a garment which appears to have continuous raised embossing elements. 1. A method for making an embossed pattern piece intended to be sewn into a garment or part of a garment , comprising the steps of:1) pressing a flexible material piece with a first embossing die pair having a punch component and a matrix component to form convex/concave elements in the flexible material piece, wherein the embossing die pair contains a pattern of singular, scattered motifs;2) adding resin material to substantially fill the hollow elements of a matrix component of a second embossing die pair having the same pattern as the first ...
