  • Composite crimped yarn and woven fabric
    Patent number: 5459991
    Abstract: A composite crimped yarn comprising: at least two kinds of multifilament yarns, one of them being comprised of a crimped conjugate multifilament yarn comprising two kinds of polyester polymers different from each other in the heat shrinkability and positioned as a major component of the inner layer of the composite crimped yarn, the other of them being comprised of a crimped multifilament yarn of a single synthetic polymer and positioned as a major component in the outer layer of the composite crimped yarn. In the above, the length of the crimped multifilament yarn is 5 to 35% larger than that of the crimped conjugate multifilament yarn, part of the crimped multifilament yarn being migrated to the crimped conjugate multifilament yarn disposed in the inner layer and part of the crimped conjugate multifilament yarn being migrated to the crimped multifilament yarn disposed in the outer layer.

  • Latent looped yarn, a fabric made of the same, and a method for manufacturing the latent looped yarn
    Patent number: 5102735
    Abstract: This invention relates to a latent looped yarn having loops produced by an eddy current treatment and once potentialized therein before a weaving operation and revealed in a fabric, after the yarns are woven therein at least as warp yarns, by heat treatment, to give the fabric a spunlike handling and high yarn density. This invention also provides a manufacturing method for producing the latent looped yarn and high density spunlike fabrics utilizing the latent looped yarn.
