all of the fibers of the web have been formed by cross lapping a carded web so that the fibers are oriented at an angle relative to the machine direction of the resultant web u s pat no 5 475 903 hereby incorporated by reference illustrates a web drafting apparatus 0016 fig1 illustrates a hydroentangling apparatus for forming the compound imaged nonwoven fabrics in accordance with the present invention the apparatus includes a first foraminous forming surface in the form of belt 10 upon which the precursor web p is positioned for pre entangling by entangling manifold 12 so as to impart the initial three dimensional image pre entangling of the precursor web which hereby imparts a first image is subsequently effected by movement of the web p sequentially over a second image transfer device such as drum 14 having a foraminous forming surface with entangling manifold 16 effecting entanglement and imparting a second three dimensional image into the web further entanglement of the web is effected on the foraminous forming surface of a drum 18 by entanglement manifold 20 with the web subsequently passed over successive foraminous drums 20 for successive entangling treatment by entangling manifolds 24 24 u2032 the entangling apparatus of fig1 further includes a three dimensional imaging drum 24 comprising a three dimensional image transfer device for effecting imaging of the now entangled precursor web which is comprised of at least one three dimensional image the image transfer device includes a moveable imaging surface which moves relative to.
