Abstract:
An interlocking tab of a zipper includes engaging teeth and a cloth tape. The cloth tape includes a sewing part joined with the engaging teeth at the lateral side of the engaging teeth, and a stretch yarn woven part located away the sewing part enabling the cloth tape to be stretched to form a curve.
Abstract:
A composite substrate (10) is prepared for reinforcing a bituminous roofing material by securing together a carrier web (12) with a first set (14) of fiberglass rovings bundles and a second set (16) of fiberglass rovings bundles. The carrier web will have a pair of opposed planar surfaces. The web will define a machine direction and a cross machine direction for the substrate, with the first and second sets of rovings bundles each positioned in parallel relationship, with the longitudinal axes defined by the individual rovings of the two sets being in non-parallel relationship to each other when viewed normal to the plane of the web. The bundle sets are maintained in the spaced apart parallel relationships and the non-parallel angular relationship by the adhesive, stitching or other conventional method of securing which holds the substrate together. If a stitching machine is used, the preferred yarn (18) would be a polyester yarn. The preferred web is a woven polyester mat and the preferred rovings bundles will be 1800 yield or heavier. After preparation, this substrate is dipped in molten bituminous material to provide a web of reinforced roofing material in which the substrate is embedded in a continuous matrix of the bitumen.
Abstract:
A belt is provided in which no deviation of pattern is generated in the warp yarn and weft yarn despite its low weft yarn density and flexibility, provides stability in attaching various elements and fits to an object. The belt is woven with warp yarn and weft yarn, wherein said belt is sectioned to an element attaching region and a tape proper region in a width direction. In the tape proper region, a loop is formed with weft yarns running throughout substantially an entire width of the belt and that loop is caught with a loop formed by other weft yarns arranged in parallel.
Abstract:
A woven fabric, in particular a label, having a region formed from a ground weave which defines a background, with the region including an array of spaced apart dots formed by yarns exposed on the surface of the ground weave, and with the array of spaced apart dots collectively defining a machine-readable code.
Abstract:
A thin and light webbing having a high strength per warp yarn unit, maintaining abrasion resistance, and using, as a warp yarn, a very strong polyester multifilament yarn for a seat belt made by fine single-yarn fibers. A yarn obtained by performing a twisting process of a high degree of twist is used as a warp yarn. The polyester multifilament yarn of fine single-fibers is essential to be woven at the maximum stretch ratio in a yarn making process to obtain a very-strong polyester fiber for a seat belt. A multifilament yarn and/or a monofilament yarn of polyester is/are used as weft yarns. By making the weft yarns and warp yarns cross each other so as to be woven in a belt like configuration, a webbing having a very high strength per unit of warp yarns, using low-cost base yarns, and maintaining abrasion resistance is obtained.
Abstract:
A synthetic fiber capable of absorbing and disabsorbing moisture comprising a component capable of absorbing and disabsorbing moisture and a fiber-forming polymer. The fiber of the present invention has a moisture absorption of 1.5% or more when it is allowed to reach a moisture equilibrium under the circumstance of 25° C.×60%RH and then is allowed to stand for 30 min. under the circumstance of 34° C.×90%RH, and has a moisture disabsorption of 2% or more when it is allowed to reach a moisture equilibrium under the circumstance of 34° C.×90%RH and then is allowed to stand for 30 min. under the circumstance of 25° C.×60%RH. The fiber also has a value of −1 to 5 in terms of b value in the CIE-LAB color system when it is allowed to stand for 30 days.
Abstract:
A textile material in sheet form consisting of a warp and weft fabric produced by rovings of continuous technical filaments (for example, glass, carbon, or aramide filaments) without torsion is disclosed. The textile material may be produced according to a plain weave or derivative thereof, for example, the density of the warp threads (C) and the weft threads (T) may be balanced. The warp threads(C) or weft threads (T) are weakened or cut individually at predetermined intervals without any noticeable deterioration in the characteristics of the weft or warp threads located beneath the weakened or cut area. The areas in which a series of threads of the fabric (C) or (T) are weakened or cut may be produced with a lateral and vertical thread course between two consecutive threads.
Abstract:
A process and system for printing a pattern onto a set of warp yarns which are then woven into a fabric. Specifically, the fabric is woven so that the printed pattern is viewable from at least one side of the fabric. In accordance with the present invention, the printed pattern is applied to the warp yarns using a digital printing device, such as an ink jet print device.
