3. PREAMBLE
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which is to be performed.

Field of the Invention
The present Filed of Invention relates to processes which are used for coating atomized Photoluminescent pigment on Stitched and Unstitched fabric substrate made from cotton, polyester, satin, rayon etc.
Background of Art
Currently Photoluminescent loom or thread is knitted to make the fabric which can have a Photoluminescent effect. But this processes is very expensive as it requires specially made to order loom or thread which is made by Photoluminescent pigment furthermore the knitting has to be done in large quantities this limits the design of the fabric and Photoluminescent color options for the fabric.
Due to above reason commercially viable Photoluminescent fabric and its end byproducts are not popular in the market.
Disclosure of Invention
Summary of the Invention:
The primary objective of these processes is to create commercially viable Fabric/Stitched Fabric in desired end product form with Photoluminescent effect.
The processes described in this patent uses atomized Photoluminescent pigment and special fixtures to coat fabric or stitched fabric substrate.

By using this processes the various types of Fabric/Stitched fabric substrate like cotton, polyester, satin, rayon etc can be coated with Photoluminescent pigment without limitation of minimum production qty thereby allowing the production in various combinations of Photoluminescent color, base Fabric/stitched fabric substrate, different designs of stitched fabric end products etc.
This processes will solve the problem in conventional processes where high cost, high order qty and limitations of color, fabric selection for design of end byproducts have limited the use of Photoluminiscent Fabrics products in the market.
Detailed Description of the Invention:
The object and advantages of the processes given in the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed steps:
First Step
Creation of Homogenous mixture of Photoluminiscent Pigment and suitable binder:
A homogenous mixture of pigment and suitable binder is required so that the a evenly spread
Coating of pigment can be achieved on the fabric.
The Photoluminiscent pigment found have higher density and molecular attractions due to which they collude and settle down in Water or binder mixture.

To overcome this problem a design of mixer is made as shown in Fig 01.
The mixer consist of primarily a conical container 2 and drive mechanism 1 which rotates the churning blade 3 both the conical action and churning of the blades 3 creates continuous movement and does not allow the pigment particles to settle down to further insure that homogenous mixture is created by infusion of compressed air 9 which is pumped in, air bubbles further entrap and lift pigment particles and ensure that solution is homogenous.
Methods of Coating Atomized Photoluminescent pigment on Fabric /Stitched Fabric Substrate:
Method 1 (As shown in fig 2) ;
Stepl:
Is to mount the fabric or stitched fabric dress 11 on the frame using clipsl4 with elastic bands 15.
This will ensure that the fabric/stitched fabric 11 remains stretched all the time.
The Frame 12 and the clips 14 must be designed in such a way that it can accommodate different type and different sizes of Stitched dress substrate. Further the design of the clipsl4 with elastic cords 15 should be such that it does not damage the fabric/stitched fabric 11.
Further the frame 12 is designed in such a way that it slotsl3 which enables adjusting the size the of the frame to accommodate various sizes and shapes of dresses 11.

Step2:
A Homogenous solution of Photoluminescent pigment of desired color and suitable binder are prepared as shown Fig 1.
Step3:
Atomization of the particles can be done by using compressed air paint gun in which the homogenous solution prepared in step2 is sprayed and coating of thickness of 10 -50 microns (depending upon requirement) is coated on the fabric/Stitched fabric substrate.
While coating cares needs to be taken in ensuring that all required areas of the Fabric 11 are covered and coating is uniformly done.
The residual circulating solution from the gun can be circulated back in the mixer 11 through residual pipe 8 to make the fluid circuit a closed type a shown in fig 01
Step 4:
After coating is done the fabric/stitched fabricll substrate with or without the frame 12 is kept in oven with temperature range of 80-150 deg for 5-15 min for drying and binder to stabilize.
Step5:
After drying the Fabric/Stitched fabric 11 substrate is given a gentle wash with water to wash of extra or losses pigments and is again dried natural or by other means.
Step6:

The coated Fabric/Stitched Fabric is allowed to absorb light for suitable amount of time and is then inspected in dark room for faulty areas if there are any uncoated areas or uneven brightness spots then they are again sprayed with solution prepared in step 2 of method 1 with spray guns or spray bottles.
After the Inspection the fabric is ready for final packing.
Method 2 (As shown in fig 03):
Stepl:
Is to mount the fabric or stitched fabric dress 11 on the magnetic board 16 frame using magnetic clamp 17 . This will ensure that the fabric/stitched fabric 11 remains stretched all the time.
The magnetic board 16 must be designed in such a way that it can accommodate different type and different sizes of Stitched dress substrate. Further the magnetic clamp is mounted below the first layer of Fabricll so that complete frontal area of the Fabric 11 is covered.
Step2:
A Homogenous solution of Photoluminescent pigment of desired color and suitable binder
are prepared as shown Fig 1.
Step3:
Atomization of the particles can be done by using compressed air paint gun in which the homogenous solution prepared in step2 is sprayed and coating of thickness of 10 -50 microns (depending upon requirement) is coated on the fabric/Stitched fabric substrate.

While coating cares needs to be taken in ensuring that all required areas of the Fabric 11 are covered and coating is uniformly done.
The residual circulating solution from the gun can be circulated back in the mixer 11 through residual pipe 8 to make the fluid circuit a closed type a shown in fig 01
Step 4:
After coating is done the fabric/stitched fabricll substrate is kept in oven with temperature range of 80-150 deg for 5-15 min for drying and binder to stabilize.
Step5:
After drying the Fabric/Stitched fabric 11 substrate is given a gentle wash with water to wash of extra or losses pigments and is again dried natural or by other means.
Step6:
The coated Fabric/Stitched Fabric is allowed to absorb light for suitable amount of time and is then inspected in dark room for faulty areas if there are any uncoated areas or uneven brightness spots then they are again sprayed with solution prepared in step 2 of method 2 with spray guns or spray bottles.
After the Inspection the fabric is ready for final packing.

4. Process as per method 1 & method 2 where coating is done with homogenous solution of Photoluminescent pigment on Fabric/Stitched fabric substrate which is followed by heat treatment of binder which is followed by washing for removal of extra or unbounded pigment and final Inspection in dark room.

5. Use of Atomization of homogenous mixture on fabric/stitched fabric substrate to form a even
well bounded coat such that the Photoluminescent pigment is evenly spread on fabric in required density and is strongly held by binder due bonding with threads of Fabric/ Stitched Fabric.
