CPC Definition - Subclass D06Q

Last Updated Version: 2020.02
DECORATING TEXTILES (textile threads, filaments, yarns or tow, glued on macromolecular material D06N 7/00)
Definition statement

This place covers:

The decoration of textile materials by chemical action or by the fixation of particulate on the textile surface.

Relationships with other classification places

This subclass does not cover treatment of textiles by purely mechanical means, which is covered by subclasses D06B - D06J.

This place does not cover:

Textile threads, filaments, yarns or tow, glued on macromolecular material

D06N 7/00

Informative references

Attention is drawn to the following places, which may be of interest for search:

Metallising the entire surface of textiles

D06M 11/83

Dyeing or printing

D06P

Decorating textiles
Relationships with other classification places

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.

Reserving parts of the material before dyeing or printing textiles

D06P 5/12

Special rules of classification

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.

In case a decorating treatment is carried out in combination with a dyeing or printing process, it is recommended to also allocate the relevant classes in D06P in addition to the D06Q classes.

Producing patterns by locally destroying or modifying the fibres of a web by chemical actions, e.g. making translucent
Definition statement

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.

Relationships with other classification places

An overlapping might occur with D04C 1/04, covering carbonised or like lace.

Special rules of classification

In case of overlapping with D04C 1/04, it is recommended to also classify in D06Q 1/02.

by metallising (transfer of metal particles D06Q 1/12)
Definition statement

This place covers:

The metallisation of textile materials, only for decorative purposes.

Relationships with other classification places

An overlapping might occur with D06M 11/83 which is covering the metallisation of textile materials in general, but not for decorative purposes.

H05K

Special rules of classification

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.

by local treatment of pile fabrics with chemical means
Definition statement

This place covers:

The decoration of pile fabrics like carpets or sponge towels by locally treating them with chemical compositions.

Relationships with other classification places

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.

In case the pile fabric is locally modified by chemical treatment, it is recommended to also classify in D06Q 1/02.

by fixation of mechanical effects, e.g. calendering, embossing or Chintz effects, using chemical means
Definition statement

This place covers:

The decoration of textile materials by fixation of mechanical effects by chemical means.

Relationships with other classification places

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.

by treatment with, or fixation of, a particulate material, e.g. mica, glass beads (by metallising D06Q 1/04; by transferring D06Q 1/12)
Definition statement

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.
