METHOD AND DEVICE FOR FLOCKING PILE

PURPOSE:To retard the curling of hair even if a pressure is exerted on the surface of the obtained suede product, by supplying cut piles which are dispersed and scattered in air by compressed air, uniformly sprinkling the piles over the surface of a base material in random directions and adhering the piles to the surface. CONSTITUTION:An inlet for the base material 2 and an outlet for the base material are provided to the main device body 4 having a closed space. Piles are supplied by a pile feeder 24 into the main device body 4. The piles are dispersed and scattered in the main device body by the compressed air supplied from supply parts 10 and 11. The compressed air is discharged from the discharge part 13 provided with a filter 12, and surplus piles scattered by compressed air are recirculated to the feeder 24 by pile circulating systems 14 and 15. By this method, the supplied cut piles are dispersed and scattered in air by compressed air, sprinkled over the substrate surface in random directions, and adhered to the surface. As a result, a flocked article having the warmness and softness of the fiber is obtained.
