Abstract:
This invention relates to an elastic yarn an elastomeric core, and a substantially inextensible yarn made of linen and/or ramie and/or hemp helically wound about the elastomeric core at a predetermined number of windings per length unit of elastic yarn, wherein, for each metric count Nm, the number of windings is set between two values indicated by two curves (12, 13) which can be expressed according to exponential laws, for example, with the same exponent, i.e. according to equations of the form T=K (1000Nm) 0,327 with K between 20 and 50. In particular, an intermediate curve 11 is such that, by choosing for a given metric count a number of windings proximate to curve 11, this best feature balance is obtained. The elastic yarn according to the invention provides elasticized fabrics a better surface regularity than well -know elasticized fabrics.
Abstract:
A variety of embodiments are disclosed, in both apparatus and method form, that relate to the use of fabric material in the manufacture of an air bag deployment system. In addition, fabric weakening is disclosed according to a technique that does not result in physical alteration of the fabric. This invention therefore includes an air bag cover for an air bag safety system for a vehicle comprising a fabric outer layer having a frontside and a backside and a substrate containing an opening wherein the opening has a periphery. The substrate is preferably formed by low pressure molding, wherein the fabric outer layer overlies the opening in the substrate, and wherein the fabric outer layer is weakened at a location that is adjacent or overlies the substrate opening periphery.

Abstract:
A flat structure, in particular a floor covering, has a covering layer (1) with fibers which can be needled, a support layer (3) and a core layer (2). The three layers are sewn together by means of fibers (1a) taken from the covering layer (1). The core layer is made of agglomerated, solid polyvinyl chloride material and of a PVC binder mass or plastisol paste. The fibers (1a) are fixedly bound in all three layers (1, 2, 3).
Abstract:
Described herein are spun yarns, core spun yarns, and fabrics such as denim fabrics made thereof that contain recycled cotton fibers and recycled para-aramid fibers. The combination of fibers in the yarns and fabrics provide desirable properties such as increased tear strength, breaking strength, and abrasion resistance compared to yams and fabrics made of 100 wt% cotton.
