Patent number: 4506611Abstract: Three-dimensional thick fabrics are made from a laminate of fabric plies by first inserting pointed rods through the laminate to form rows of holes after which needles are reciprocated through the different holes to pull loops of various yarns through the holes. The loops of yarns in adjacent holes are interlocked to hold the plies together. A guide releasably clamped to each yarn controls tension in the yarn while a doffing point is employed to insure that the needle passes through a loop just formed when penetrating the next hole to insure interlock of the loops. Hollow circular objects are formed by winding a length of fabric a selected number of times around a form, following which the pointed rods are used to form holes in the resulting laminate with the needles and yarns being used to form the interlocking loops through the thickness of the laminate.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1981Date of Patent: March 26, 1985Assignee: HitcoInventors: Leon Parker, Arthur R.

Patent number: 4372998Abstract: A heat adhesive tape comprising a tape main body of heat-resistant woven or knitted fabric and a heat adhesive thread of thermoplastic resin provided at each side of the main body on one surface thereof. To form a finished hem on trousers, skirts or the like, the tape is placed on the main body of the hem portion and on a folded-back portion of the hem portion and then heat-pressed as by ironing. The heat adhesive thread is woven or knitted into the main body zigzag in a staggered or wavy form or in the form of a series of turns and is thereby made almost free of shrinkage longitudinally of the tape when heat-pressed. A thermoplastic resin thread meltable at a lower temperature than the adhesive thread and fastening the thread to the main body at its furrow portions melts before the adhesive thread during heat pressing so as not to permit the adhesive thread to exert a shrinkage force on the main body also widthwise thereof when the tape is heat-pressed.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1980Date of Patent: February 8, 1983Assignee: Shimada Shoji Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yukio Shimada
