  • Non-woven composite
    Patent number: 7709405
    Abstract: A non-woven material including first effect fibers, first binder fibers, second binder fibers, and optionally second effect fibers. The non-woven material has a first planar zone and a second planar zone. The first planar zone includes a greater concentration of first effect fibers and first binder fibers. The second planar zone includes a greater concentration of second effect fibers and second binder fibers. The first planar zone can include a first surface skin associated with the first planar zone on the exterior of the non-woven material, and a second surface skin associated with the second planar zone on the exterior of the non-woven material. The non-woven material has a woven, knitted, or non-woven layer added on either one or both sides of the non-woven material.

  • Shelving system
    Publication number: 20070241072
    Abstract: A shelving system comprises a plurality of vertical supports, one or more horizontal supports attached to a respective vertical support, and a shelving substrate attached to the horizontal supports. The horizontal supports can be adapted to extend from a folded or partially extended position to a fully extended, horizontal position and can comprise a proximal support arm attached to a vertical support and a distal support arm pivotally attached to the proximal support arm. To retain the proximal support arm and the distal support arm in the fully extended, horizontal position, the horizontal supports can comprise a catch assembly. The shelving substrate can be a textile material, such as a weft inserted, warp knit textile material comprising elastomeric yarns.
