CPC Definition - Subclass D06Q
This place covers:
The decoration of textile materials by chemical action or by the fixation of particulate on the textile surface.
This place does not cover:
Textile threads, filaments, yarns or tow, glued on macromolecular material |
Attention is drawn to the following places, which may be of interest for search:
Metallising the entire surface of textiles | |
Dyeing or printing |
An overlapping might occur with processes for decorating in general any surface which are covered by B44C, B44D and B44F.
An overlapping might also occur with the dyeing of textile materials D06P and the chemical treatment of textile materials D06M.
An overlapping might also occur with D06C 23/00 which is covering more mechanical aspects for making patterns or designs on fabrics.
Treatment of selected parts of textile materials is classified in group D06B 11/00.
Attention is drawn to the following places, which may be of interest for search:
Trimmings, ornaments for clothes | |
Trimmings in general | |
Reserving parts of the material before dyeing or printing textiles |
In case of overlapping, it is recommended to classify in as much as possible groups, i.e. in all the relevant groups.
In case several treatment are combined or made applied successively, it is recommended to allocate a class for each treatment.
This place covers:
The swelling or the partial dissolution or melting of fibres to make patterns, the treatment of fibres by chemical means to make them translucent, the production of so called "lace" by chemical means.
All the treatment are chemical treatments.
An overlapping might occur with D04C 1/04, covering carbonised or like lace.
Attention is drawn to the following places, which may be of interest for search:
Lace in general, carbonised lace |
This place covers:
The metallisation of textile materials, only for decorative purposes.
An overlapping might occur with D06M 11/83 which is covering the metallisation of textile materials in general, but not for decorative purposes.
Attention is drawn to the following places, which may be of interest for search:
Transfer or metal particles | |
Metallisation in general | |
Printed circuits boards |
With regard to metallisation of textile surfaces it is recommended to also classify in D06M 11/83, as the same process could also be used to produce metallised textile materials but with another functionality than decorative purposes.
This place covers:
The decoration of pile fabrics like carpets or sponge towels by locally treating them with chemical compositions.
There might be an overlapping with D06N dealing with the coating of textile substrates with macromolecular materials, e.g. the backing of pile fabrics to make carpets.
Attention is drawn to the following places, which may be of interest for search:
Non-woven pile fabrics | |
Making pile fabrics |
In case the pile fabric is locally modified by chemical treatment, it is recommended to also classify in D06Q 1/02.
This place covers:
The decoration of textile materials by fixation of mechanical effects by chemical means.
There might be an overlapping with D06M 11/84, D06M 13/52, D06M 13/525, D06M 15/70 and D06M 15/705. All these groups are dealing with the combination of chemical and mechanical treatments like embossing, calendering or pressing.
This place covers:
The fixation of decorative particulate materials like glass beads, glass particles, gem stones , glitters, plastic particles, feathers, mica, fibres etc for decorative purposes generally with the aid of an adhesive composition but not necessary.
The flocking of textile materials when flock fibres are directly deposited onto the surface of the textile materials.
This place does not cover:
Attention is drawn to the following places, which may be of interest for search:
Process for flocking in general by pulverisation | |
Process for flocking in general by other mean than pulverisation | |
Adhesive compositions | |
Non-woven pile fabrics which may be obtained by flocking. |
The fixation of metal particles should be classified in D06Q 1/04.
This place covers:
The transfer of the decorative material or the transfer of the adhesive composition to the textile.
This place does not cover:
The transfer printing of textile materials |
Attention is drawn to the following places, which may be of interest for search:
Adhesive compositions |
This place covers:
The transfer of fibres or adhesives for fibres to the textile, e.g. the flocking of textile when the flock or the adhesive are first deposited on an intermediate support before their application to the textile surface.
