  • Patent number: 10160124
    Abstract: Scissors include first and second body portions, and a pivot support portion that supports the first and second body portions. The scissors further include a movable transmission member attached to a handle of the first body portion, a spring provided between the handle of the first body portion and the movable transmission member, and rows of teeth configured to transmit urging force from the spring to the second body portion through the movable transmission member. The pivot support portion has a pivot and a pivot hole that enables the first and second body portions to be assembled and disassembled. The rows of teeth are provided on the movable transmission member and a handle of the second body portion, and can be attached to or detached from each other when assembling and disassembling the first and second body portions.

  • Patent number: 8678044
    Abstract: A mostly cotton yarn terry cloth product is provided with borders having high content polyester yarns. The polyester borders are more rugged, and thus aid in preventing fraying and failure along the edges. In addition, reinforcing ribs, also formed from yarns have a high polyester content, may be provided that extend from a border on one side of the terry cloth product to a border on the other side. This feature anchors the borders in place, limiting failure at the juncture of the border and the adjacent cotton.

  • Patent number: 7172802
    Abstract: Window coverings are formed of woven fabrics of acrylic yarns to provide minimal degradation of the window covering due to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and to minimize damage to interior furnishings within a building at which the window coverings are applied. The window coverings are preferably formed of panels of pigmented acrylic yarn having a yarn number of about 24, 2 ply and a weave density of about 29 ends per inch of warp threads and 24 picks per inch of weft threads with about 0.063 inch square openings between the thread rows. UV blocking for A and B wavelength ranges may be on the order of 69 to 78 percent.

  • Patent number: 7086424
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method and to a system for weaving fabrics with two useable sides (W1), (W2), in which per operating cycle one weft thread (6) is inserted, and in which each fabric comprises a first figure warp thread (1) and a second figure warp thread (2) that, in a number of operating cycles, are positioned together alternately above and below the weft insertion level, so that, at both fabric sides, these figure warp threads (1), (2) are bound over the same weft threads (6), while running above one another, and in which the mutual position (upper or lower position) taken up by the first figure warp thread (1) and the second figure warp thread (2) in each fabric (W1), (W2) during the weaving process is determined selectively according to a previously defined figure pattern, preferably by positioning the first (1) and second figure warp threads (2) in a first shed (I) at a first level (POS.

  • Patent number: 6832633
    Abstract: There is provided a high density woven fabric wherein air permeability under 50 kPa differential pressure is 2.5 L/cm2/min. or less, and air permeability index (50 kPa) calculated by the formula 1 is 1.2 or more. Air permeability index (50 kPa)=(Log (Q (55 kPa))−Log (Q (45 kPa)))/(Log 55−Log 45)  (Formula 1) Air permeability under Q(55 kPa):55 kPa differential pressure is (1/cm2/min.); and Air permeability under Q(45 kPa):45 kPa differential pressure is (1/cm2/min.).

  • Patent number: 6734125
    Abstract: A woven textile fabric is disclosed which is formed of synthetic yarns of at least two different deniers to which a solid polymeric film is laminated. An adhesive polymeric coating is provided for adhering the solid polymeric film to the woven textile fabric. The combination of yarns of different deniers provides a superior adhesion surface for the polymeric film. The yarns and the polymeric coating are preselected respectively in deniers and thicknesses so as to render the fabric substantially impermeable to fluid under pressure, while maintaining superb packageability and anti-blocking properties for use in vehicle occupant restraint systems. An air bag incorporating the woven textile fabric of the invention and having two outer surfaces and pre-configured air holding cavities woven therein to which a solid polymeric film is bonded for receiving and containing fluid under pressure for use in a vehicle air restraint system is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6296022
    Abstract: A woven fabric, in particular a label, having a region formed from a ground weave which defines a background, with the region including an array of spaced apart dots formed by yarns exposed on the surface of the ground weave, and with the array of spaced apart dots collectively defining a machine-readable code.

  • Patent number: 5758697
    Abstract: A weaving method that imparts a 1/f fluctuation to the weave pattern. Adjacent and different numbered groups of different yarns, for example black yarn and white yarns, are alternately arranged in contiguous reed dents. The sequential number which is associated with each group manifests a series of numbers which effect the 1/f fluctuation. Following separation of the warp yarns into two sets by raising and lowering of healds to form a shed and passage of weft yarns therethrough, a woven fabric with a stripped 1/f fluctuation in the warp direction is created.

  • Patent number: 5560401
    Abstract: A fabric having two images on a front surface thereof. The images are defined by a plurality of parallels, alternating, upper pairs and lower pairs of weft yarns. The upper pairs forming ridges defining the images and the lower pairs forming valleys between each adjacent pair of ridges. A first of the two images being visible when viewing the front surface at an angle from a first direction and substantially invisible when viewing the front surface at angle from a second direction. A second of the two images being visible when viewing the front surface from the second direction and substantially invisible from the first direction. The invention also provides a process for producing the fabric.

  • Patent number: 5054524
    Abstract: A solid-color weave pattern belt comprising a weave in which warps are arranged at such a high density that wefts are substantially hidden behind the warps. The weave comprises a 2/2 twill weave having four warp threading phases with warp threading arrangement units selected from three kinds of units formed by omitting one to three warp threading phases from the four warp threading phases. A plurality of at least one warp threading arrangement units are successively adjacent to each other, thereby forming an uneven weave pattern of wefts substantially hidden behind the warps on the surface of the belt.
