Publication number: 20020049020Abstract: A water-vapor-permeable, watertight, heat-reflecting flat composite is made by a process of combining a metal layer and a nonporous, water-vapor-permeable, watertight, hydrophilic flat substrate. The process includes at least the three steps of (1) selecting the substrate, (2) pre-cleaning the substrate, and (3) applying the substrate to the metal layer. Such a composite offers protection from heat loss, infrared-based detection, ultraviolet radiation, electro-smog, and static electricity.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2001Publication date: April 25, 2002Applicant: Sympatex Technologies GmbHInventors: Henricus J.M.

Patent number: 6338887Abstract: A reinforcing web constituted by substantially parallel and spaced-apart warp threads and by pairs of reinforcing threads, each shaped in the form of successive half-loops alternating in a weft direction. The successive half-loops of the reinforcing threads in each pair extend in opposite directions, and the pairs of threads are spaced apart from one another in such manner that the half-loops of the threads corresponding to two successive pairs overlap and together define closed loops which are set by means of flexible binding stitches formed in the overlap zones between the two half-loops and the warp threads. At least some of the reinforcing threads are constituted by metal tows. The reinforcing web is suitable for application to the seats of public transport vehicles.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2000Date of Patent: January 15, 2002Assignee: Hexcel Fabrics (Societe Anonyme)Inventor: Pierre Derud

Patent number: 6194332Abstract: A composite textile fabric for removing moisture away from the skin is provided. The composite fabric includes a first fabric layer comprising either a polyester, acrylic or nylon material which is naturally, or has been rendered, hydrophilic and a second fabric layer incorporating either a moisture-absorbent material such as cotton, or a synthetic yarn which has been rendered hydrophilic, or a combination thereof. The first and second fabric layers are formed concurrently by knitting a plaited construction. The second fabric layer is exclusively blended with treated synthetic fibers having anti-microbial properties. An elastomeric yarn material may be added to both layers so that the composite fabric is stretchable.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1998Date of Patent: February 27, 2001Assignee: Malden Mills Industries, Inc.Inventors: Moshe Rock, Douglas Lumb, William K.

Patent number: 6189157Abstract: A fabric, which can be used more especially as a pierce-proof fabric but also as a decorative fabric, includes a plurality of interconnected scales, which have bores to connect them to one another, and into which connecting members extend. The connecting members are directly formed on the scales. Because the scales overlap one another in the manner of roof tiles (form an imbrication) and because, in order to make a flat connection, the scale itself in the fabric overlaps at least two adjacent scales and is overlapped by at least two additional adjacent scales, the fabric can also meet increased safety requirements in an advantageous manner.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1999Date of Patent: February 20, 2001Assignee: Ziegler Mechanische Werkstatt, Metallgewebe und Arbeitsschutz GmbHInventor: Bruno Ziegler

Patent number: 6180545Abstract: A reflecting warp-knit slide fastener tape is knitted with several kinds of knitting patterns. A marginal portion onto which fastener elements are attached extends along one longitudinal edge of the tape. The marginal portion is formed by tricot-stitch yarns, weft-inlaid yarns, and chain-stitch yarns which prevent the marginal portion from stretching. In the web portion, in addition to the tricot-stitch yarns and the weft-inlaid yarns one or more reflective members, which is in the form of a strip of retroreflective or light-reserve reflective film, are knitted in between wales contiguous to the marginal portion. The reflective members are sandwiched between the weft-inlaid and tricot-stitch yarns. The tricot-stitch yarns are transparent synthetic fiber yarns in order not to obstruct the reflecting feature of the reflective members.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 1998Date of Patent: January 30, 2001Assignee: YKK CorporationInventors: Sadaji Okeya, Hideyuki Matsushima, Yoshio Matsuda

Patent number: 6045926Abstract: The invention relates to a textile fabric comprising bundles of metal filaments obtained by bundled drawing whereby the bundles in the sheet consist of filaments running substantially parallel and whereby the fabric has a thickness of preferably less than 1 mm. The fabric is obtained by processing a number of drawn composite wires, in which the bundled metal filaments are embedded in a composite matrix, into a fabric by weaving, knitting or braiding and subsequently removing the composite matrix from the fabric. The fabric can also contain plain wires besides the metal filament bundles.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 1998Date of Patent: April 4, 2000Assignee: N.V.

Patent number: 5981066Abstract: Applications of a metallized textile. The textile is activated by precipitating noble metal nucleation sites on the fibers of the textile. Immersing the activated textile in a suitably prepared solution of a metal cation, and adding a reducing agent, leads to the formation of a metal plating tightly and intimately bonded to the fibers of the textile. Exposure of the metallized textile to air oxidizes the surface of the metal plating. Applications of the metallized textile include acaricides, fungicides, bactericides, armor, electrodes, anti-static devices, RF shielding, and radar reflectors.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 1996Date of Patent: November 9, 1999Assignee: MTC Ltd.Inventor: Jeffrey Gabbay

Patent number: 5965223Abstract: The present invention is a composite layered protective fabric having an outer primary layer composed of an abrasive material and an inner primary layer composed of an inherently cut-resistant material positioned below the outer primary layer and when assembled into a garment is positioned proximate to the wearer's skin. In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a secondary layer is added to the inner and outer layer framework. The secondary layer is composed of a material that provides additional protection against potential threats other than cuts, that increases comfort or that improves aesthetics. The invented composite fabric is continuously manufactured in a one-step process which plates the layers of yarn. Thus formed, the invented composite fabric can be formed into cut-resistant apparel and articles that provide a high level of protection against sharp objects.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 1997Date of Patent: October 12, 1999Assignee: World Fibers, Inc.Inventors: Mark A.
