Patent number: 7579045Abstract: A method of forming a composite fabric article includes interlacing yarns including multi-filament fibers to form a fabric body of knit construction, and forming a raised or fleece region upon an inner surface of the fabric body. The method also includes applying a non-continuous coating consisting of discrete coating segments of coating material upon yarn fibers at an outer surface of the fabric body to bind individual yarn fibers together in bound groupings and to enhance abrasion resistance of the outer surface. The non-continuous coating is applied such that the coating is without substantial effect on hand tactile and breathability of the knit construction of the fabric body.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2005Date of Patent: August 25, 2009Assignee: MMI-IPCO, LLCInventors: Moshe Rock, Douglas Lumb, Charles Haryslak, Gadalia Vainer

Publication number: 20060068155Abstract: A fabric article of knitted or woven construction with multi-filament, interlaced yarns has at least one pile or raised or fleece region on its inner surface and at least one discontinuous coating region of binder material on its outer surface. The binder material provides improved durability against pilling and fraying without substantial adverse effect on characteristics of the base fabric. The same or different binders and/or the same or different densities of binders may be applied to one or more selected regions of the fabric surface using engineered printing technology, the binder regions resisting napping to create predetermined non-raised or non-fleece regions of contrasting thermal insulation and/or breatheability conforming to needs of underlying corresponding regions of the wearer's body. Methods of forming the fabric articles are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2005Publication date: March 30, 2006Inventors: Moshe Rock, Douglas Lumb, Charles Haryslak, Gadalia Vainer
