  • Patent number: 10000870
    Abstract: A conductive line stitching method is disclosed, wherein a metal line is arranged in a protection layer to form a conductive line, which is subjected to the steps of forming conductive line, laying cloth, performing stitching, combining a device, and connecting conductive line to have the conductive line located in a stitching area to carry out a subsequent operation for connection with a device, thereby achieving an effect of being processed with a one-time process and concealing the conductive line facilitated on smart clothes.

  • Patent number: 8316785
    Abstract: A flat seam construction made up of a number of sequentially formed stitches and formed on a portion of one or more stitchable materials is disclosed. Each stitch has two outer threads, formed into first and second outer thread loops, and at least one inner thread, formed into at least one inner thread loop. Each of the inner and outer thread loops transversely penetrate the one or more stitchable materials. Each of the inner and outer thread loops have a bight portion engaging a bottom surface of the one or more stitchable materials. At least one looper thread is formed on the bottom surface, and arranged such that, the at least one looper thread passes between the bottom surface and at least one of the bight portions. At least one decorative thread is visible on a top surface of the seam construction.

  • Publication number: 20080078315
    Abstract: A graphic for application to a textile is disclosed. The graphic includes a front surface configured to be viewable when the graphic is applied to the textile. The graphic further includes a back surface opposite the front surface and configured to contact the textile. The graphic further includes an attachment mechanism, other than stitching, that attaches the graphic to the textile. The graphic also includes a simulated stitching pattern “etched” onto the front surface of the graphic extending around a perimeter of the graphic and includes projections simulating stitch ends.

  • Patent number: 5950553
    Abstract: An automotive seat assembly comprising a trim cover material having a top surface and a bottom surface with a peripheral edge portion extending along one side thereof. A continuous stitching material passes through and between a number of apertures along the trim cover to form a first seam along the top surface and a second seam along the bottom surface. A drawstring cord is overlaid along the top surface of the trim cover between the first seam and the edge portion. The stitching material loops around a continuous first enclosure material to pull the first enclosure material against the cord and the top surface of the trim cover. Similarly, the stitching material loops around the second enclosure material to pull the second enclosure material against the bottom surface of the trim cover.

  • Patent number: 4981095
    Abstract: This invention relates to decorative ribbons, and to methods and machines for making them. More specifically, the invention relates to fabric ribbons that are edged with wire and trimmed with an overlay of decorative thread.According to the invention, a run of fabric ribbon is simultaneously edged with wire and tightly bound with a binding filament (such as monofilament) and a trim filament (such as decorative thread). This is done in a single operation. The result is a unique ribbon construction, which has many desirable properties. The new ribbons are flexible, but will retain their shape when bent, twisted or tied into a desired configuration. They are elegantly simple in design and provide a novel streamlined finished product with components that are firmly bound together. The ribbons provide an improved edge and trimming where the wire meets the fabric.

  • Patent number: 4606290
    Abstract: The process for the manufacture of a wool fabric to be used as a mattress cover comprises four steps in succession, that is a loosening step, a shearing step, a moistening step and a pressing step, and further trimming steps for applying elements of electrically conductive material to said fabric as well as at least a shunt for grounding the same elements.The wool fabric 16 thus obtained comprises wool yarns having a substantially reduced length and sticking fast to the weft of the fabric itself, as well as elements 104, 106 of electrically conductive material and at least a shunt 108 for grounding the elements 104, 106 and adapted to allow the electrostatic energy to be discharged from a sleeping person.
