    摘要: A device for manufacturing a weave, including a winder for reeling the manufactured weave to a rotating reel, wire spools arranged to release longitudinal wires to said winder, a wire spool carrier comprising a wheel and a slit extending through the wheel from a centre of the wire spool carrier to the circumference, an additional wire spool releasably attached to the wire spool carrier and arranged to release a crossing wire, and an actuator configured to move the wire spool carrier between the longitudinal wires such that the additional wire spool in turns moves to each longitudinal wire to a position where the respective longitudinal wire is located in said slit at which stage the wheel rotates around said respective longitudinal wire before moving towards a following longitudinal wire in such way that a predetermined path of the crossing wire from the additional wire spool forms the weave with the longitudinal wires from the wire spools.

    摘要: A composite structural component including a braided material embedded in a resin matrix. the braided material with multiple braided components formed of continuous tows and connected by one or more intersections are described. Each of the multiple braided components is formed by sets of tows. Each set of tows includes a respective plurality of tows, which are substantially adjacent and parallel to each other at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the braided material. Each set of tows is further composed of multiple subsets of tows. The subsets of tows separate at the intersections and combine with different subsets of tows in adjacent components of the multiple braided components.

    摘要: An article of footwear includes a midsole component and a seamless braided upper having a bottom peripheral portion connected to the midsole component. The seamless braided upper extends from a forefoot region to a heel region and from a lateral side to a medial side of the article of footwear. The bottom peripheral portion defines a bottom opening in the seamless braided upper, wherein the bottom peripheral portion extends along the forefoot region, the lateral side, the heel region, and the medial side of the article of footwear.

    摘要: A stretchable watch band can include braided strands that provide a comfortable fit around the wrist of the user. The watch band can stretch and conform to the user based on the elasticity within each strand and based on the ability of the strands to move relative to each other. End sections of the watch band can include attachment elements that securely connect the watch band to a housing of the watch. The end sections can be configured to releasable connect to the housing in a manner that is reliable and easy for a user. Additionally, the watch band can provide a smooth transition from the size and/or shape of the housing to a size and/or shape of a continuous section of the watch band. Additionally, the watch band can conceal portions thereof other than the braided strands when connected to the housing of the watch.

    摘要: A wearable hat/head garment which can be made up of many braided facets of materials. The process of the flip action, braided materials are stitched together in a circular direction at or to the degrees of 0 to 90 degree angles. The 45-degree angle produces a roll motion, which allows the braids to change the position in which they are. To include the design has an opening at the top and bottom, which give an automatic versatility in styles once flipped upside down and inside out. These hats are created in array of colors and not limited to future colors, fabrics and trims. The hat/head garment collapses into a flat position for storage.
