  • Multi-component yarn and making the same
    Patent number: 6341483
    Abstract: A non-metallic cut resistant combined yarn that can be combined with other yarns to form a composite yarn. The combined yarn includes at least one non-metallic strand of an inherently cut-resistant material and at least one non-metallic strand of a non-cut resistant material or fiberglass. The two strands are air interlaced with each other so as to form attachment points intermittently along the lengths of the strands. At least one or the other of the strands is a multi-filament strand. A composite yarn may be formed by wrapping at least one cover strand wrapped about the combined yarn in a first direction. A second cover strand may be wrapped about the combined yarn in a second direction opposite the first direction.
