摘要:
A method of manufacturing support garments for human extremities, and the garments so produced. A support garment form is cut from a sheet of warp-knit power fabric, the fabric having a lengthwise (machine) dimension of greatest stretch and power, and a filling dimension (the cross-machine direction) in which the stretch is incidental (i.e., about 250%/80% or at least 2/1) and the sheet being orientated during cutting so that the lengthwise dimension of the sheet extends circumferentially in the final garment produced. The edges of the garment formed are seamed to produce the final support garment, the seam extending along the dimension of elongation of the extremity on which the support garment fits. The garment is preferably dimensioned so that the compression provided by the garment is greatest at the portion of the garment disposed most remote from the human torso along the human extremity on which it is disposed, the compression continuously gradually decreasing from the most remote portion of the extremity toward the torso. Tricot and raschel warp-knit power fabrics are preferred.

A method for producing conventionally usable, stable, preshrunk and crimped yarn from greige self-crimping bicomponent or biconstituent yarn. The method employs a knit-de-knit procedure to impart a so-called mechanical crimp in the self-crimping yarn as that yarn is subjected to an initial heat treatment. The knit-de-knit process has been modified in order to knit the knit-de-knit tubular sleeve more loosely and to obtain a crimp rate per thread line inch within a predetermined range. The knit tubular sleeve is collected in the form of a fabric roll, the internal diameter of which is controlled so that during heating the yarn crimp can develop uniformly. The yarn produced thereby can be used to produce "to size" greige fabric or garments which exhibit better snag or pick resistance than such fabrics or garments produced from conventional greige yarn. These fabrics or garments can thereafter be subjected to normal finishing procedures.
摘要:
A method, system, and attachment for sorting articles, such as laundry or the like whereby each article includes as a part thereof a quantity of each of a number of different materials of the type which each produce secondary radiation at a characteristic energy level when x-ray, gamma or other radiation impinges thereon, the combination of materials forming a code uniquely identifing the article. Each article is passed through a pneumatic tube or on a conveyor line substantially one at a time past a source of radiation and a multi-channel energy level detector which produces an electrical output signal indicating the article, and also indicating when two or more combination codes are being simultaneously passed. The articles are then diverted in accordance with the electrical signal.

A tufted pile fabric for use indoors or outdoors as a substantially permanent floor covering. The tufted pile fabric is made entirely from man-made or synthetic materials and includes a synthetic plastic primary backing, and a synthetic plastic secondary backing, laminated together by a hot melt adhesive to form a relatively rigid impervious sheet. The structure is then provided with a plurality of perforations through the substantially impervious sheet comprising the secondary backing, the hot melt adhesive and the primary backing to give the fabric a softer hand and breathability. The tufted pile fabric may then be adhesively secured to a floor structure by a water based adhesive, inert to the primary and secondary backings and hot melt adhesive, with the water evaporating through the perforations to set the adhesive and thereby avoid puckers and edge rippling due to unbonding the pile fabric from the floor structure.

Carboxy substituted aromatic chromophores are reactively linked to fibers containing alcoholic hydroxyl groups, amino groups or thiol groups, such as cellulosic fibers, with the linkage produced in the presence of a cyanamide compound, such as cyanamide or dicyandiamide.

A dye of the formula: ##STR1## and the alkali metal and ammonium salts thereof are disclosed as novel compositions of matter useful in reactive dyeing of cellulose fibers to give bright red dyeings which exhibit good lightfastness and color strength.
