  • Patent number: 6537640
    Abstract: Provided is a pile fabric in which non-twist interlaced yarns composed of non-torque or low-torque polyester multi-filaments having a torque of 0 or 100 turns/meter or less are laid out in a flattened state as both warp and weft yarns constituting a ground portion of the pile fabric, which has no thick feel of the ground, excellent in formability and sewing property, and also makes it possible to form a short pile length (less than 1.5 mm). Further, diverse pile fabrics such as velvet-like, amundsen-like, astrakhan-like and suede-like fabrics, are also realized by specifying the fineness of the constituent filaments and the yarn form of the pile yarn.

  • Patent number: 4332585
    Abstract: A synthetic fur closely resembling a natural fur comprises relatively long and thick guard hair-like raised synthetic fibers, each having a transverse cross-section wherein at least one constricted part is formed, and underfur-like raised synthetic fibers, each having a rate of dissolution in a solvent or of hydrolysis with a hydrolyzing agent higher than that of said guard hair-like raised fibers, and a length and fineness less than those of said guard hair-like raised fibers. The synthetic fur is prepared by applying a viscous treating liquid containing a solvent or hydrolyzing agent to a raised surface of a fabric comprising relatively thick raised synthetic fibers, each having a transverse cross-section wherein at least one constricted part is formed, and relatively fine raised synthetic fibers, each having a rate of dissolution in the solvent or of hydrolysis with the hydrolyzing agent higher than that of said relatively thick raised fibers.
