Abstract:
A COMPOSITE SHEET SUBSTANCE HAVING THE SIMILAR APPEARANCE AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES TO THE GENUINE LEATHER IS MANUFACTURED BY MEANS OF USNG FIBROUS MATERIAL COMPOSED OF A PLURALITY OF FINE FIBERS OR FLAMENT AND AN ELASTIC POLYMER SURROUNDING THE FINE FIBERS. A BONDED FIBROUS MATERIAL COMPOSED OF FIBROUS COMPONENT (A COMPONENT) CONTAINING A PLURALITY OF FINE FIBERS OF FILAMENTS AND ANOTHER COMPONENT OF BONDING AGENT (B COMPONENT) BOUND THE ABOVE-MENTIONED FINE FIBERS OR FILAMENTS IN A BUNDLE. FUTHER A SHEET COMPOSED OF THE BONDED FIBROUS MATERIAL IS MADE. THE A COMPONENT HAS DIFFERENT DISSOLVING PROPERTY BY SOLVENT FROM THE B COMPONENT. NEXT THE ABOVE-MENTIONED SHEET IS INVOLVED WITH A POLYMER (C COMPONENT) HAVING A DIFFERENT SOLVENT DISSOLVING PROPERTY FROM THE A AND B COMPONENTS. THE B COMPONENT IS TAKEN OUT FROM THE PRODUCT OF THE INVOLVING TREATMENT BY MEANS OF DISSOLVING INTO A SOLVENT HAVING PARTICULAR ABILITY FOR DISSOLVING THE B COMPONENT ONLY. NEXT A SUBSTANCE MAINLY COMPOSED OF AN ELASTIC POLYMER (D COMPONENT) IS IMPREGNATED INTO THE SHEET AFTER TAKING OUT THE B COMPONETNT, FUTHER THE C COMPONENT IS TAKEN OUT FROM THE SHEET BY MEANS OF DISSOLVING INTO A SOLVENT HAVING PARTICULAR ABILITY FOR ONLY DISSOLVING THE C COMPONENT AFTER THE ABOVEMENTIONED IMPREGNATING TREATMENT, AND FINALLY THE COMPOSITE SHEET SUBSTANCE OF THE PURPOSE IS PRODUCED. IN THE ABOVEMENTIONED MANUFACTURING STEPS, THE SIMILAR RESULTS CAN BE OBTAINED BY APPLYING THE DIFFERENT COMBINATION OF THE STEPS TO THE GENUINE LEATHER, IN OTHER WORDS THE OPERATIING ORDER OF THE TAKING OUT OPERATION OF THE B COMPONENT AND THE IMPREGNATION OPERATION OF THE ELASTIC POLYMER (D COMPONENT) CAN BE CHANGED.
Abstract:
AN ARTIFICIAL LEATHER HAVING AN INTERNAL CONFIGURATION MADE UP OF THREE DIMENSIONALLY INTERLACED BUNDLES OF EXTREMELY FINE SYNTHETIC FIBERS SANDWICHED BY A HIGH POLYMERIC SUBSTANCE LAYER OF SUEDE TOUCH AND RAISED SURFACE OF VELOURS TOUCH, AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SUCH LEATHER FROM ONE OR MORE WEBBY MASSES OF ISLANDS-SEACOMBINATION TYPE FILAMENTARY FIBERS THROUGH APPLICATION OF NEEDLE PUNCHING, IMPREGNATION WITH TEMPORARY BINDER, REMOVAL OF THE SEA COMPONENT, IMPREGNATION WITH ELASTIC SUBSTANCE, REMOVAL OF THE TEMPORARY BINDER, FORMATION OF THE ADDITIONAL SYNTHETIC SURFACE LAYER AND RAISING OF ONE SURFACE OF THE THUS OBTAINED FIBROUS SHEET.
Abstract:
A suede-like raised woven fabric having raised fibers on the surface thereof; consisting mainly of a yarn or thread which consists of a bundle of extra-fine fibers (the monofilament denier of which is 0.0001 - 0.4 d). The preparation of the fabric comprises weaving, using as weft said yarn and using as warp a yarn having a coil-like crimp or a coil-like potential crimp capacity, in the organization of the woven fabric except for the raised portion, which consists of an elastic polymer dispersed and adhered in a fibrous state, and/or as fine pieces of film throughout the said fabric. Said fabric has a high density of suede-like naps, has excellent pilling resistance and, wrinkle resistance, feel, and is suitable for apparel.
Abstract:
A synthetic filament and a yarn composed thereof wherein the filament comprises at least two different incompatible synthetic linear high polymers, one being distributed as islands in the sea of the other polymer element when seen in cross-section, each island being continuous along the axis of the filament and being characterized by their uniformity in cross-sectional dimension in any cross-section of the filament.
Abstract:
Preparing suede-like leather sheet materials by passing a napped sheet with a fluid through a venturi-nozzle having a predetermined inner area. The sheet has naps of superfine denier fiber at least on one surface, and comprises (a) a non-woven fabric made up to 0.01-0.3 denier superfine staple fibers of breaking strength below 3 grams and an elongation at break of 60180 percent and (b) a polyurethane elastomer obtained by reacting a diol mixture by weight of about 20-40 parts of polycaprolactone diol of a molecular weight of about 1000-3000 and about 60-80 parts of polytetramethyleneetherglycol of a molecular weight of about 1000-3000 with an organic diisocyanate and a diamine chain extender.
Abstract:
A needle, needle punching machine and process are provided for producing a needle felted fabric that is useful for producing artificial leather. In the needled fabric some of the fibers are displaced by needles and caused to penetrate through others of the fibers; at least 60 percent of the fibers which penetrate do so either individually or as a group of 2 or 3 fibers.

Abstract:
A spinning apparatus valuable for obtaining uniform ''''islandsin-a-sea'''' type composite filaments comprises a uniting chamber comprising a funnel-shaped space having a converging angle of at most 75*. The apparatus may further include means for supplying the sea constituent polymeric liquid into a central portion and an outside portion of the uniting chamber, and means for incorporating the island constituent polymeric liquid with the sea constituent polymeric liquid in an eccentric manner. These means are effective for maintaining the ''''islands-in-asea'''' type composite stream in the uniting chamber at a favorable equilibrated condition for a long spinning period.
Abstract:
AN IMPORVED METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING FIBROUS CONFIGURATION USED FOR ARTIFICIAL LEATHER OR THE LIKE BY FORMING A WEB MAINLY COMPOSED OF A PLURALITY OF HIGHLY ORIENTED FIBROUS COMPOSITES CONTAINING AT LEAST TWO DIFFERENT COMPONENTS, FORMING A FELT FROM THE WEB BY ENTANGLING THE PLURALITY OF HIGHLY ORIENTED FIBROUS COMPOSITE, TREATING THE WEB WITH ELASTIC MATERIALS AND ELIMINATING AT LEAST ONE OF THE COMPONENT WITH SUITABLE SOLVENT.
