Abstract:
The present invention concerns textile fabrics for clothing, manufactured using the traditional technique of orthogonal weaving, with yarns having different yarn count in the warp and/or in the weft.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for weaving a tissue containing at least partly glass-fibres such as warp yarns and/or weft yarns which are treated in such a way that they enable light to be diffused substentially in a perpendicular direction with respect to the longitudinal axis thereof and at least to the section thereof arranged on the external side of the tissue. The inventive method is characterised in that it comprises a Jacquard pattern weaving forming a matrix for separating and identifying the feeding ends of a predetermined number of glass fibres which are rearranged in bundles and connected to the same light source. The tissue produced according said method is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A textile (310) made at least in part with conductive yarns (12) for the purpose of generating heat from an electrical power source. The textile (310) has conducting yarns (12) or "heaters", with conductivity and spacing tailored to the electrical source to be used and the heat to be generated. The heater yarns have a positive temperature coefficient whereby the resistance of the yarn increases with an increase in temperature and decrease with a decrease in temperature. "Leads", such as conductive yarns (12) can be used to supply electricity to the heater yarns. A coating to the textile can electrically insulate the textile as well as provide protection to the textile during activities such as laundering and use.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a pleated product capable of partially pleating a fabric so that boundaries between pleat portions and non-pleat portions can be conspicuous and a fabric for the pleated product used for the method. In this method, a part of the fabric for the pleated product (1) in which one of warp (2) and weft (3) is formed of easy-to-pleat yarn and the other formed of hard-to-pleat yarn is folded along a folding line (4) tilted relative to the warp (2) and the weft (3), the fabric (1) is pleated up to the folding line (4) in the passing direction of the warp (2) or the weft (3), and the fabric (1) is unfolded and washed. Effective pleats are formed only in the passing direction of the easy-to-pleat yarn on a plane on one side of the folded portion and not formed in the passing direction of the hard-to-pleat yarn on a plane on the other side of the folded portion. The pleats in the passing direction of the hard-to-pleat yarn are eliminated by a washing step to form a non-pleat portion (5b), and the pleats formed on the passing direction of the easy-to-pleat yarn form a pleat portion (5a) in which the pleat lines are firmly shaped up to the folding line.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a stem fiber fabric and the method for making the same, which is characterized in that the fabric is composed of the following raw materials of 10-100% by weight of stem fibers and 0-90% by weight of textile fibers, and is formed by the processes of filtering raw material, feeding into a feeding and converting device, twisting, cone winding, heat setting, and weaving. The fabric solves the problems that the down can not be processed by the conventional techniques of carding, doubling, and drafting, and can act as stuffing material for down coats, down quilts, down mattresses and other beddings only in the form of batting , thus resulting in a low grade and low utilization of the down, so the stem fiber spinning and weaving are realized. The new family in the fabric field is suitable for making coats, socks, quilts, mattresses and other beddings for thermal protection.
Abstract:
A blister fabric (740) of a knit or woven construction may be needle punched to produce internal connections of filaments or fibers (741, 746) from yarns extending into, and/or between, the yarns of an adjacent layer. Interconnections of fibers among separate layers are produced by needles which enter a first layer and then carry fibers from the first layer to a second adjacent layer within the blister of the fabric. Such interconnected fibers which bridge or span multiple layers in the fabric serve to strengthen the blister fabric, making the fabric more resistant to abrasive forces.
Abstract:
The present invention provides fabrics that have unique chemical, electrical, and thermal properties. The fabrics comprise layers of yams woven together wherein the yams further comprise carbon nanotube fibers. These carbon nanotube fibers may be either single-walled or multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The use of carbon nanotube fibers allows the fabrics to insulate, semi-conduct or super-conduct electrical charges. Additionally, the thermal properties of carbon nanotubes allow thermal energy to flow efficiently between the fabric and a heat sink or source. Additional yams of materials other than carbon nanotubes can be integrated or woven into the fabric to provide other unique properties for the fabric. These fabrics can be layered to form unique garments or structures.
Abstract:
An allergen-barrier fabric includes a tightly-constructed fabric substrate, woven from 0 to 45% continuous synthetic filament yarns and 55 to 100% natural or synthetic spun yams. The fabric substrate is finished to produce a fabric with a mean pore size of 4 to 10 microns, an air permeability of 0.5 - 25 cfm, a mean fabric flexibility of 0,5 to 6.5 grams (bending resistance), and a moisture vapor permeability in excess of 800 g/m 2 /24 hours. This fabric provides a barrier to mite-induced allergen particles. Various additional finishes can be included on the fabric. For example, an antimicrobial finish may be provided on the fabric to extend fabric wearlife by providing protection against mold and mildew. As another alternative, a fluorochemical finish can be provided to extend fabric wearlife by providing protection against fluid stains.
