1.  The Invention

 

Title The method of felting wool with the use of ultrasound.

The problem the inventor(s) wanted to solve

Elaboration of the method of felting wool fibers with the use of ultrasounds.

Description.

The invention is based on felting wool material using an acoustic ultrasound wave as a mechanical agent. In this method the material to be felted is placed between two steel plates where one at least one is connected with exciters of ultrasound waves. Both plates are simultaneously pressed together with the force dependent on the density of the felted material where the force is determined  empirically. The ultrasound waves generated bath one or both plates create vibrations in the material fibers and the pressure and felting bath cause permanent fiber bonding.

Description of the invention and the schematic diagram..

Fields of application

Felting of wool products with small densities and strengths.

Advantages

Shorter felting time, control of the felting process, possibility of felting ready made goods due to the use of pressing during felting.
