Classes 100(1) and 100(2) [Also in Group XIII] A method of imparting decorative patterns to textile materials comprises applying patterns to the materials in a continuous manner from at least one transfer in the form of a continuous web by the application of heat and pressure to the transfer or transfers while in contact with the textile material. As shown a web of tubular material 43 (Fig. 6) is drawn from a roll 44 over a stretcher device 46 by electrically heated rollers 15, 16 which are spring biased towards each other. Around the rollers 15, 16 are guided webs bearing transfer patterns in thermoplastic or thermosetting inks. The transfer webs are drawn from rollers 25, 26, 27, 28 mounted on the machine in transversely staggered relationship, the web passing over rollers 21, 22, 23, 24 to ensure maximum contact with electrically heated rollers 15, 16. The reels of transfers 25-28 (Fig. 5), are mounted on metal plugs 56 having pins 55, the plugs being inserted in the ends of the reels. The pins 55 engage in slots 57 formed in strips 58 which have further slots 59 for engagement with screw-threaded rods 60 mounted transversely across the machine frame. Nuts 61 are provided so that the strips 58 may be treated in any desired transverse position. The electrically heated rollers as 15 (Fig. 4), are rollers with tubular ends running in bearings 39, 40 mounted in slides 35, 36. Passing through the rollers are rods 49 supported by brackets 50 secured to the machine frame. Each rod 49 carries heating elements 52 supplied from a lead 53. The roller 15 is driven by a pulley 7 the drive being transmitted to the roller 16 by a gear 41 meshing with a similar gear on the end of roller 16.
