Publication number: 20240108089Abstract: A method of forming an insulated composite fabric including attaching an insulating-filler fabric layer to an outer fabric layer, where the insulating-filler fabric layer is a textile fabric with at least one raised surface on the fabric. One side of the insulating-filler layer has a first surface with relatively high pile, including regions of no pile or relatively low pile interspersed among regions of relatively high pile and the other side of the insulating-filler layer has a second surface with relatively high pile, including regions of no pile or relatively low pile interspersed among regions of relatively high pile. The method further contains coupling at least one of a fleece and velour that is respectively lower than the relatively high pile of the first surface or the relatively high pile of the second surface to at least one of the first surface and the second surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Moshe Rock, James Zeiba, Gadalia Vainer, Jane Hunter, Charles Haryslak, David Costello, Shawn Flavin, Marcus Webster

Publication number: 20150104604Abstract: Among other things, the disclosure features an insulated composite fabric (120) including an inner fabric layer (121), an outer fabric layer (122), and an insulating-filler fabric layer (123) enclosed between the inner and outer fabric layers. The insulating-filler fabric layer is a textile fabric with a raised surface (133) on at least one side of the fabric and includes multicomponent fibers (1050) formed of at least a first polymer (1051) and a second polymer (1052) disposed in side-by-side relationship. The first and second polymer exhibit differential thermal elongation or contraction, causing the multicomponent fibers to bend or curl and reversibly recover in response to changes in temperature, adjusting insulation performance of the textile fabric in response to ambient conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2013Publication date: April 16, 2015Inventors: Moshe Rock, Gadalia Vainer, Jane Hunter, David Costello
