A textile with first grouping of yarns separated from a second grouping of yarns, and displacement yarns disposed between the first grouping of yarns and the second grouping of yarns such that the displacement yarns progress in a sinusoidal manner to alternately contact the adjacent displacement yarn.

A filament is made by curling a ribbon of suitable material transversely of its elongation, and drawing the curled ribbon. The resulting filament has a cross section resembling a tight spiral and may be hollow or solid. Thermoplastics may be used as the ribbon material. An apparatus and a method are disclosed for making this filament. This invention relates to filaments and methods and apparatus for making them.

Disclosed is a textile fabric having a backing material unsuitable for heat transfer printing and a surface material that is suitable for heat transfer printing.

A textile prosthesis comprising a unitary body of predetermined shape having structural integrity, the body including at least one anchorage body portion for attachment to an anatomical body part, the body being composed of a combination of binding yarns and tensile load bearing filaments, the binding yarns being located at least in the or in each of said anchorage body portions and being interconnected to one another by sewn stitches, the tensile load bearing filaments being located inbetween s...

A textile component includes a pocket or channel woven directly into the textile using a jacquard weaving method. The textile component may be used in a variety of applications for attachment to an article. A pattern may be woven into the textile, and a pocket may be woven into the textile for receiving an insert. The textile may also include one or more channels for attaching the textile to an article. The channels slide over support elements on the article. In addition, a cut line may be woven...

A textile product having arginine impared thereto; a process for producing the product; and a method for the pretreatment of a textile product. The textile product compensates for the water-retaining function of the horny layer and enhances metabolism. It hence has the effect of keeping the skin normal.

A textile duct for an air circulation system, the duct having an inner gas-permeable layer and an outer gas-impervious layer, and one or more spaces therebetween. An air circulation system having one or more ducts and one or more air treatment units and/or air handling units. The ducts are formed from laminates suitable for forming a duct for an air circulation system, the laminate has an inner gas-permeable layer and an outer gas-impervious layer, and one or more spaces therebetween.

A textile tubing comprises inner and outer coatings, and a material made of warp and weft threads manufactured from high tensile strength and high modular strength fibers (high performance fibers) disposed between the coatings. The warp threads are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the tubing and the weft threads are arranged in the circumferential direction of the tubing. The inner and outer coatings are made of a thermolastic synthetic material. The weft thread width is at least 8,000 ...

A textile substrate for seat covering contains about 50 wt % of wool and about 50 wt % of viscose rayon. The substrate can be made exclusively of wool and viscose rayon, but can also contain other constituents such as metal threads and plastic fibers, such as polyesters. The substrate can be formed as a woven fabric, for example, which comprises in the warp a mixed yarn of 30 to 70 wt % of wool and 30 to 70 wt % of viscose rayon and in the weft a mixed yarn of 30 to 70 wt % of wool and 30 to 70 ...

A textile made at least in part with conductive yarns for the purpose of generating heat from an electrical power source. The textile has conducting yarns, or "heaters", with conductivity and spacing tailored to the electrical source to be used and the heat to be generated. The heater yarns have a positive temperature coefficient whereby the resistance of the yarn increases with an increase in temperature and decreases with a decrease in temperature. "Leads", such as conductive yarns, can be use...
