Abstract

A process for fixing several textile thicknesses along a line, and particularly an edge of a textile article, of the type by which two stitched sewing threads are used, namely the lower and the upper is provided. One of the threads changes state at a first predetermined temperature. A glue for thermogluing the thicknesses is provided. The glue acts at a second predetermined temperature. The state changing thread melts at a first temperature that is lower than the second temperature. The other thread is eliminated after the state changing thread has melted. This results in a perfectly placed seamless assembly.

Claims (23)

1. A process for fixing a first textile and a second textile along a line, comprising:

placing a film of thermogluing material between the first and second textiles;

sewing of the first and second textiles and said film of thermogluing material together with a first thread and a second thread;

heating to a first predetermined temperature to melt said first thread;

heating to a second predetermined temperature to activate said film of thermogluing material; and

removing said second thread.

2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein said second thread is a needle thread and said first thread is a bobbin thread.

3. The process according to claim 2 , wherein said bobbin thread comprises a hot melt material.

4. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the first textile comprises a first ribbon.

5. The process according to claim 4 , further comprising placing said first ribbon on the second textile so that said first ribbon overlaps the second textile.

6. The process according to claim 4 , wherein the second textile comprises a second ribbon, and wherein said first and second ribbons comprise the same material.

7. The process according to claim 1 , wherein said heating to a first predetermined temperature comprises melting said first thread so as to attach said film of thermogluing material to the first and second textiles.

8. The process according to claim 1 , wherein said film of thermogluing material is perforated.

9. The process according to claim 2 , wherein sewing further comprises forming a criss-cross pattern on a side of the first textile with said needle thread and said bobbin thread.

10. A process for fixing a first textile to a second textile, comprising:

placing a film of thermogluing material between of the first and second textiles;

securing the first and second textiles and said film of thermogluing material together with a needle thread and a bobbin thread;

heating to a first predetermined temperature to melt said bobbin thread so that a melted portion of said bobbin thread holds said film of thermogluing material and the first and second textiles in a predermined position with respect to one another; and

heating to a second predetermined temperature to activate said film of thermogluing material so that the first textile is fixed to the second textile.

11. The process according to claim 10 , further comprising removing said needle thread.

12. The process according to claim 10 , wherein said bobbin thread comprises a hot melt material.

13. The process according to claim 10 , wherein the first textile and/or the second textile comprise a ribbon material.

14. The process according to claim 10 , wherein securing the first and second textiles and said film of thermogluing material together with said needle thread and said bobbin thread comprises sewing said needle thread and said bobbin thread so that a criss-cross pattern is formed on a side of the first textile.
