Publication number: 20140141677Abstract: A non-woven fabric includes a filament fiber web and a composite fiber web that is entangled with the filament fiber web and that includes composite staple fibers and cellulose fibers. The composite staple fibers and the cellulose fibers are fusion-bonded together. A method of fabricating a non-woven fabric includes: (a) air laying and thermally treating composite staple fibers and cellulose fibers so as to form a composite fiber web, the composite staple fibers and the cellulose fibers in the composite fiber web being fusion-bonded together, and (b) disposing the composite fiber web between two filament fiber webs followed by subjecting to water-jet treatment such that the composite fiber web and the filament fiber webs are entangled with each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2013Publication date: May 22, 2014Applicant: KANG NA HSIUNG ENTERPRISE CO., LTD.Inventors: Jung-Chi Tai, Ho-Hsi Yang, Chien-Chung Su

Patent number: 8689413Abstract: A flame resistant fabric with better tear strength and specifically a flame resistant fabric with tear strength flame resistant 100% cotton yarn are provided. The 100% cotton yarn is produced using a combination of compact spinning technology and gassing and/or singeing process performed in tandem, the yarn is weaved into fabric by pre-established process and the fabric is flame retardant finished by using chemicals and lubricants by pre-established process to form the flame resistant fabric with better tear strength. Also, a method of manufacturing the flame resistant cotton fabric that has a better tear strength after fire resistant treatments provided. Advantageously, the flame resistant fabric is affordable, light weight and has better tensile and tear strength.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Inventor: Manikam Ramaswami

Publication number: 20140082905Abstract: A weaving method of a three-dimensional vamp includes the steps of: weaving yarn by a warp-knitting machine to form a top vamp by a first part needle bar of the warp-knitting machine which is interactively woven with a bottom vamp formed by a second part needle bar of the warp-knitting machine so as to form a tube-shaped fabric; cutting the tube-shaped fabric to form a sock-shaped fabric; disposing the sock-shaped fabric on a shoe last; and heating the sock-shaped fabric to tighten the sock-shaped fabric in order to seal the shoe last and consequently obtain the three-dimensional vamp. The heat shrinkable and irreversible properties of a high shrinkage yarn or hot melt yarn are used to seal the sock-shaped fabric with the shoe last, thereby achieving the substantial physical properties. The turner cost and the fabric flotsam can be reduced by the process of manufacturing the integrally formed vamp.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2012Publication date: March 27, 2014Applicant: LONG JOHN TSUNG RIGHT INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.Inventor: Wen-Tsao Wen
