present invention that a binder material can be either incorporated as a fusible fiber in the formation of the precursor nonwoven web or as a liquid fiber adhesive applied after imaged fabric formation the binder material will further improve the durability or otherwise provide enhanced cleaning performance of the resultant imaged nonwoven fabric during use 0029 fig1 depicts the means for imparting the three dimensional quality during the manufacture of the nonwoven fabric the image transfer device shown as imaging drum 18 can be selected from a broad variety of three dimensional image types exemplary fig2 4 and 5 are three dimensional images of the u201c nub u201d type fibrous nubs are formed during the process of entangling on the imaging drum 18 these nubs extending out of the planar background of the resulting fabric these fibrous nubs act as the high points and resulting surface contact fig6 and 8 are examples of the u201c geodesic u201d type of images in this image type regular blocks of entangled constituent fibers extended out of the planar background the fibrous blocks creating high points that are particular effective at providing air passageways parallel to the substrate surface due to the flexibility inherent to the fabrication of the image on the image transfer device variations in three dimensional image including multi planar images variations in image juxtaposition and the ability to create complex images having no discontinuities allow for the creation of profiles in nonwoven fabrics.
