Abstract: A window-screen-cleaning fabric comprises a base cloth and a plurality of fibers comprising (A) a crimped fiber and (B) a flat fiber. In the fabric, the crimped fibers and the flat fibers are raised from a first surface of the base cloth, and the height of the flat fibers from the first surface of the base cloth is greater than that of the crimped fibers from the first surface of the base cloth.

Abstract: A novel porous fibrous structure containing from 10 to 100% by weight of wet heat bonding fibers, having cellular cavities in the fibrous structure of the fibers, in which a plurality of indefinite cellular cavities are present independently or in a state of partially connected in the inside of the fibrous structure, at least a portion of the fibers constituting the fibrous structure is heat bonding by the wet heat bonding fibers, and a process for producing such porous fibrous structure.

Abstract: A paint roller comprises a liquid-impermeable tubular core member 6 with an engaging element 9 having a male structure of a separable fastener and a height of 0.3 to 4.0 mm on a surface thereof, and a cover member 8 with a female structure and a loop on the inner surface capable of male-female engaging with the engaging element on the surface of the core member. The density of the engaging element on the surface of the core member is 30 to 150/cm2. Thus, in such paint roller, when the cover member becomes dirty, damaged, or worn, the cover member can be exchanged to a new cover member. Such that, a roller body is repeatedly usable, and the paint roller can provide a good painted surface. Moreover, there is also provided an effect roller in which a painting pattern can be changed optionally.

Abstract: A sliver-knit material causing less buckling fatigue or deformation during compression and improved with shedding, in which a pile thread contains 30% or more of staple fibers having steric crimps, and a dense layer (Bo) and a bulky layer (Su) on the side of the upper layer in contact with the dense layer (Bo) are formed, where the ratio of height between the dense layer (Bo) and the bulky layer (Su) in the sliver-knit material is from 2:5 to 1:1, and at least a portion of fibers present in the dense layer (Bo) are folded back.

Abstract: Provided is an inexpensive roller brush for painting, which has good paint holdability and good paint releasability and of which the brush face is smooth and homogeneous. Using the roller brush, the painted face is good and its quality is high. The roller brush is fabricated by covering a paint-impervious roll core with a paint holder of a fibrous circular material that contains conjugate fibers comprising a high-melting-point polymer component A and a low-melting-point polymer component B. In this, the fibrous circular material contains thermal-fusing conjugate fibers and at least a part of the fibers are fused to form a porous structure.

Abstract: A female member of a Hook-and-Loop fastener made of double knit goods, in which a pile is provided at least in a portion on one side A of the double knit goods. The pile contains a crimped yarn, the percentage crimp (K.sub.1) of which is not more than 15%, the single fiber fineness of filaments composing the yarn is not less than 3 denier; and the yarn is knitted together with the yarn composing the other side B of the double knit goods only on one side A.
