A method of manufacturing building-wall flexible cladding (12) for a wall of a building so that a cladding outer surface of the building-wall flexible cladding (12) matches or substantially matches a textured wall surface of the wall of the building. This is first achieved by selecting the wall to be modelled (S101) and forming an impression of the wall (S102). An absorbent flexible substrate (18) is provided (S103), and a wet mixture (24) created (S105) and applied to the substrate (18, S106) to form one or more tiles (24a). The wet mixture (24) is textured by applying the impression so that the cladding outer surface corresponds or substantially corresponds to the said textured wall surface (S108). Finally, the textured wet mixture is cured (S109).

The invention relates to a multilayered composite film made of plastic and in the form of a surface coating for an article, wherein the composite film is at least partly transparent, i.e. is transparent in partial regions, has at least one outer transparent top layer which is optionally provided with a transparent coating, and has, on the rear side of the top layer, one or more further transparent plastic layers and also a transparent carrier layer, wherein arranged inside the layer composite is an opaque layer which is in the form of a sheet-like masking or diaphragm provided with openings and is transparent only in the openings of the masking or diaphragm, wherein the opaque layer adjoins the rear side of the top layer in the direction of the carrier layer, wherein the base material of the opaque layer is the same as that of the top layer.

A method and apparatus for printing on an article are disclosed. An embodiment of a method may include the generation of a virtual mask that can designate areas for printing and/or designate areas to exclude from printing. A method may include utilization of the virtual mask during either 2D or 3D printing such that a print design is printed in areas designated for printing by the virtual mask.

This invention provides a silicone-coated fabric for airbags in which creases can be easily formed by applying heat and pressure, and that can be stored compactly. More specifically, the invention provides a silicone-coated fabric comprising a silicone-based resin coated on one surface of a synthetic fiber woven fabric, and a thermoplastic resin adhering to a non-silicone coated surface, which is not coated with the silicone-based resin, wherein the adhesive strength between the non-silicone coated surfaces is 0.01 to 100 N/cm.

The invention relates to a textile sheet product. According to the invention, said textile sheet product is characterized by a plurality of coating elements, which are arranged on a surface of a textile substrate layer of the sheet product in such a way that only part of the surface of the substrate layer is covered by the coating elements. The coating elements are made of a material that substantially is a mixture of a polymer material, preferably a prepolymer that can be crosslinked to form a thermoset, and a filler in the form of inorganic and/or metal particles. In a method according to the invention for producing a textile sheet product, a textile substrate layer and a coating material are provided. In order to form coating elements, a plurality of portions of the coating material are applied to a surface of the substrate layer. The portions of the coating material are arranged on the surface in such a way that the portions do not overlap, and only part of the surface of the substrate layer is covered by the coating material. Subsequently, the coating material is fixed, whereby a plurality of solid coating elements is formed on the substrate layer.

The present disclosure relates to a multilayer synthetic leather, at least comprising a textile arrangement; and a polyurethane based foam; wherein the polyurethane-based foam is partially fixed to the textile arrangement using a first fixing layer such that the first fixing layer has fixing areas formed by a fixing agent and free areas free from the fixing agent in the same plane.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing non-slip socks, which arranges and presses a fabric to which a grapping member is bonded at the inside of the sock and then arranges and presses the fabric to which the grapping member is bonded at the outside of the sock. Here, accuracy of positions of the grapping members at the inside and the outside of the sock may increase by using a unit for guiding a position of the fabric, and productivity may improve.

A shoe comprises an upper portion, a sole, and a sheet of material. The upper portion is configured to receive a foot of a user. The sole is attached to the upper portion. The sheet of material is coupled to the sole. The material includes a substrate and one or more movable projections. The one or more movable projections are configured to extend from the substrate. The one or more movable projections are configured to move between a first orientation and a second orientation relative to the substrate, in response to the sole of the shoe moving between a generally flat configuration and a generally flexed configuration. The movable projections can have a triangular shape, a concave shape, a convex shape, a rectangular shape, or a barbed shape; and can be arranged in a one-direction pattern, a three-column pattern, a half pattern, a 16x2 pattern, or a checkerboard pattern.

A printable fabric can include a blockout fabric and from 1 gsm to 6 gsm of a discontinuous crosslinked polymer network on an outermost surface of the blockout fabric. The blockout fabric can include an inner fabric layer having a first side and a second side, wherein the inner fabric layer includes from 80 wt % to 100 wt % dark fibers; a first outer fabric layer attached to the first side and including from 80 wt % to 100 wt % light fibers; and a second outer fabric layer attached to the second side and including from 80 wt % to 100 wt % light fibers.
