DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTWith reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
The present invention, the 2×2 twill bedding system 10 is comprised of a plurality of components. Such components in their broadest context include 2×2 twill weave sheeting fabric having warp yarn and weft yarn, the warp yarn and the weft yarn being a cross weave of cotton or cotton blend with any cellulosic fibre and polyester.
In the preferred embodiment, bedding 10 is characterized by anti-wrinkle capabilities, increased softness and durability/long life, usable both ways with front and back color the same, and decreased cost. The bedding is fabricated of 2×2 twill weave sheeting. The bedding includes one, two, or four pillow cases 12, a top sheet 14, and a fitted sheet 16.
The 2×2 twill weave sheeting has cotton warp yarn 18 or any cotton blend with cellulosic fibre with a denier of 8 D to 300 D with 8 filament to 288 filament thread count. The cotton warp yarn has a thread count of 20 s to 80 s. The cotton warp yarn is a rich chief value cotton, CVC, with a 51 percent minimum of cotton or cotton cellulosic fibre and a 49 percent maximum of polyester/filament yarn, or polyester spun yarn, or polyester cotton spun yarn.
The 2×2 twill weave sheeting has polyester weft yarn 20 with a denier of 8 D to 300 D. The polyester weft yarn is polyester filament, low intermingle. The polyester weft yarn is 14 filaments to 288 filament thread count.
The 2×2 twill weave sheeting has 130 to 2000 threads per square inch. The 2×2 twill weave sheeting has a weight of 80 to 240 grams per square inch.
The cotton warp yarn or cotton blend with cellulosic fibre with the polyester weft yarn are in a cross weave, 2/2, 2 over and 2 under. The warp and weft, which are preferably cotton and polyester, can also be interchanged to polyester warp and cotton weft.
In alternate embodiments, the fabric is formed as a pillowcase, a top sheet, or a fitted sheet. In another alternate embodiment, the bedding includes pillowcases, a top sheet and a fitted sheet.
In a primary alternate embodiment, the cross weave 20 is 2/2, 2 over and 2 under. In a first alternate embodiment, the cross weave 100 is 1/2, 1 over and 2 under. In a second alternate embodiment, the cross weave 200 is 1/4, 1 over and 4 under.
The present invention is 2×2 twill sheeting manufactured into fine products including luxury 2×2 twill bed sheets, fitted sheets and pillow cases. Such products are characterized by 2×2 twill weave construction 2/2, 2 up, 2 down, of a high thread count of at least about 130 threads per square inch to 2000 threads per square inch. Prior art 2×2 twill sheets were either from 100 percent cotton or cotton or cotton blend with cellulosic fibre or cotton with polyester filament yarn/polyester or spun yarn/polyester or cotton spun yarn or cotton blend with any cellulosic fibre. The sheeting of the present invention is chief value cotton, CVC that is predominant cotton with the cotton comprising a minimum of 51 percent over polyester filament yarn/polyester spun yarn/polyester cotton spun yarn which will be a maximum 49 percent. The cotton yarn count can vary from 20 s to 80 s thread count and polyester filament yarn/polyester or spun yarn/polyester cotton splun yard which can vary from 8 D up to 300 D with 8 filaments to 288 filament thread count.
The polyester fibers were included in the prior art cotton 2×2 twill because of the cost of the polyester yarn and cotton cellulosic fibre blended which was much cheaper than the cotton yarn. Hence, a product with polyester will be cheaper for the consumer, value for money in the hands of the consumer.
The polyester-cotton fabric of the present invention gives wrinkle resistance. Moreover, polyester yarn is known for its durability adding to the tensile strength, durability, dimensional stability, wear and tear performance of the fabric of the present invention thereby making it more attractive for the consumer.
Sheeting fabrics suitable for use in the present invention are of a plain weave construction with a thread count of at least about 130 threads per inch up to 2000 threads per inch. Cotton yarn count from 20 s to 80 s with 8 denier to 300 denier with 8 filaments to 288 threads count, and typically have a weight range of about 80 grams per square meter to 240 grams per square meter. They are generally of a substantially balanced construction. The 2×2 twill weave is a closed construction and is balanced with warp and weft compactness in fabric.
The sheeting fabric in accordance with the present invention comprises a woven 2×2 twill sheeting fabric having a uniform woven fabric construction of at least 130 thread count per inch up to 2000 threads per inch throughout both the sheet areas and the heavier areas. The core spun yarns has a yarn count of about 20 s to 80 s in cotton and 8 D to 300 D of filament polyester/polyester spun yarn/polyester cotton spun yarn.
2×2 twill sheeting fabric can be formed of a single common color, or different colors, or of multiple colors by incorporating into the print, in addition to the oxidizing agent, suitable disperse dyestuffs which sublime into polyester core component. Polyester dyed is in disperse dying and cotton in reactive dying to match both components of fabric and the print will be in pigment dyes.
Cotton yarn will be from 30 s to 80 s yarn count made from either carded/combed/compact or Egyptian/pima/supima cotton.
2×2 twill fabric is woven with warp cotton yarn 100 percent Cotton/Egyptian, Cotton/Pima/Supima cotton or any cotton yarn blended with cellulosic fibre and weft polyester filament yarn/polyester spun/yarn/polyester cotton spun yarn. In the alternative, it can be either way with warp polyester filament, yarn/polyester spun yarn/polyester cotton spun yarn and weft cotton yarn 100 percent cotton/Egyptian cotton/pima/supima cotton or blend with any cellulosic fibre or cotton blended with any cellulosic fibre. Thus the cotton can be in blend or mixing cotton with bamboo, tencel or any other cellulosic fiber.
We have added with polyester filament yarn, polyester spun yarn and polyester cotton spun yarn. The polyester filament yarn may also be CVC.
As to the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
