Chenille Patents (Class 139/393)
  • Patent number: 10036220
    Abstract: A deflector assembly includes an upper deflector arranged within a main bore of a wellbore, the upper deflector having a guide spring. The guide spring includes a ramped surface. A lower deflector is arranged within the main bore, the lower deflector defining a first conduit and a second conduit. One of the first and second conduits is in communication with a lower portion of the main bore and another of the first and second conduits is in communication with a lateral bore. The upper and lower deflectors are configured to direct a bullnose assembly into either the lateral bore or the lower portion of the main bore based on a size of a bullnose tip of the bullnose assembly.

  • Patent number: 8561651
    Abstract: A fabric, a fabric manufacturing method and a vehicle seat are provided. The fabric has one surface and an opposite surface, and includes a constituent yarn having at least an elastic yarn; and a chenille yarn having a core yarn and a pile yarn. At least one kind of yarn of the constituent yarn is shaped in a waveform as seen from a sectional direction of the fabric. The core yarn is located closer to the opposite surface than an imaginary line, the imaginary line being formed by connecting each of peaks of mountain portions of the waveform in the one surface.

  • Patent number: 8142872
    Abstract: Vehicular upholstery fabric is woven by using chenille yarn and multi-fiber yarn for weft yarns. The weaving interval between chenille yarns is set up less than the apparent thickness of the chenille yarn, which is specified as an observed value of the thickness. The apparent thickness of the multi-fiber yarn is less than one-fifth of the apparent thickness of the chenille yarn. There are tight portions where a great number of warp yarns passes over the chenille yarn, and rough portions, where a small number of warp yarns passes over the chenille yarn that is formed on the surface of fabric. PPT-fibers are used for the pile of the chenille yarn and the warp yarn.

  • Patent number: 6935382
    Abstract: A woven exercise rug having contours on the exercise surface for the purpose of reducing the chance of a user slipping during exercise is disclosed. The woven characteristic of the exercise rug provides for some moisture absorption and the contours provide additional gripping for the user of the rug to help reduce the chance of slipping due to moisture accumulation on the rug, due, for example, to perspiration. The contours of the rug may be provided by supplementary wefts or warps in the weave of the rug which are not required for the structural stability of the rug.

  • Patent number: 4517715
    Abstract: An improved chenille woven or knitted fabric utilizing at least a chenille yarn composed of synthetic fibers, wherein raised fibers forming a raised fiber portion of the chenille yarn are composed of ultra-fine fibers having a fineness smaller than 0.9 denier and the rising angle .alpha. between the axis of the raised fibers and the longitudinal axis of the chenille yarn is not larger than 50.degree..This chenille woven or knitted fabric has a very smooth surface touch and a silk-like high-grade luster. Since almost no raised fine fibers are removed, this fabric is excellent in durability.
