Diffractive and retroreflective textile fabrics, methods of making same, and articles made therefrom
Patent number: 6764744Abstract: A composite fabric structure having unique visual and physical properties is described. The composite fabric includes a textile fabric layer having a visual surface and a rear surface. A layer of diffractive or retroreflective material is secured beneath the textile fabric layer, either directly or beneath a layer of substantially transparent material. The textile fabric layer is of an open or semi-transparent construction, so that light can pass through it to reach the layer of diffractive or retroreflective material and be reflected back through the layer of textile fabric, to provide a unique appearance to its visual surface. Because fabric constructions can be provided which are extremely conspicuous, they have particular utility in the formation of safety equipment and automobile components. Furthermore, the fabrics have high durability, improved hand, and in many embodiments can be stretched as well as molded.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 1999Date of Patent: July 20, 2004Assignee: Milliken & CompanyInventors: Roy Phillip DeMott, Myra L. Cook, Alfred R. DeAngelis -

Patent number: 6294486Abstract: This invention relates to adhesion promotion compositions which provide excellent adhesive characteristics between rubber latices and flexible textile substrates. Such compositions comprise specific mixtures of capped isocyanates which react strongly and thoroughly with rubber latices to promote the adhesion of such latices to textile substrates. Such rubber latices provide the ability to increase the stretch characteristics of the target textile substrate while simultaneously permitting retention of a certain degree of rigidity. Such rubber/textile composites are useful within waistbands as they retain their stretch and rigidity very well even after repeated dry cleanings.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 1999Date of Patent: September 25, 2001Assignee: Milliken & CompanyInventor: Roy Phillip DeMott
