Summary:Apparatus for depositing a fluid material along crease lines 4 of a garment 2, including at least first and second cartridges 10 in which fluid is held and then dispensed through an aperture 14, the cartridges being located on mounting means (22, fig. 1b) and held spaced apart with parallel longitudinal axes. In a second aspect the nozzles are arranged to dispense fluid simultaneously, e.g. to apply to both creases of a pair of trousers in order to save time. In a third aspect the deposited fluid is urged out by an additional pressurised fluid (for example compressed air) and the apparatus further comprises a support base 6 with grooves 8 in which the creases sit in order to apply the resinous fluid. Preferably some relative movement is possible between the cartridges to account for minor variations in the crease/groove but the cartridges are resiliently biased back to their original spacing, which is the same as the spacing of the grooves. The apparatus may comprise a handle (122, fig. 6) such that it can be used by hand rather than in an industrial setting.
