ABSTRACT:
A fabric or leather backing is employed for mounting and supporting a three-dimensional decoration composed of material such as Latex, plastic, rubber or the like. The decoration terminates at its backside of rear with a continuous edge on which an attachment flange is provided followed by placing a first bead of flowable, bondable or adhesive material thereon optionally followed by placing a second bead when the first bead has somewhat cured. The first and/or second bead is impregnated into the fabric or leather backing. Curing occurs within a specified period of time at a specified temperature range. Bonding of the decoration is complete after adhesive curing.
For vinyl or other plastic material, no adhesive is used. The plastic material that the decoration is made of becomes the adhesive through a melting process. The melting point of vinyl and many other plastics are less than the burning or damaging point of the material a garment is made of such as cotton. A decoration is made out of vinyl-type material with a flange at its rear, which is used for the attachment to the fabric. The decoration is placed on top of the material with a heating element under the material. The plastic flange is partially melted and forms an adhesive with the fibers of the material; thereby bonding the plastic decoration to the material.
