Protective fabric and apparel systems

A multi-layer protective fabric includes an inner layer, an middle layer, and an outer wicking layer. The outer fabric layer includes an inside layer of hydrophobic material, an outside layer of hydrophilic material, and an intermediate layer of hydrophobic monofilament yarns extending between and knitted together with the outside and inside layers, and promotes wicking of moisture from a wearer's skin to the outer layer. The multi-layer protective fabric middle layer includes a porous, cushioning material. The multi-layer protective fabric inner layer includes a cushioning, abrasion-resistant material, such as doeskin. Articles of apparel, for example cycling shorts, can include such a multi-layer protective fabric either alone or in combination with other moisture-managing, cushioning fabrics. Such protective fabric and apparel systems provide improved removal of moisture from skin, reduction of contact stress, and decrease in abrasion.

Step and lift refuse liner removal system

A step and lift refuse liner removal system is disclosed, consisting of a conventional refuse container main housing. A conventional refuse liner rests on a support plate, located inside the main housing, above the bottom of the main housing. Air holes in the support plate facilitate air flow throughout the main housing, thus reducing the vacuum between the refuse liner and the side walls of the main housing. A dual fulcrum and curved lever system permits the operator to lift the support plate by pressing down on a foot bar located outside the main housing near the ground. As such, the present invention facilitates the easy and effortless removal of a conventional refuse liner. A set of foot pads are provided to enable the operator to restrict the movement of the main housing relative to the ground.

Radio frequency textile drying machine

A textile drying machine comprises a tank for receiving textiles with a spindle inside the tank for supporting the textiles, and a solid-state radio frequency generator. The generator is connected to the spindle and the tank is earthed so that when the generator is operated an oscillating electric field is generated between the spindle and the tank, and hence applied to textiles on the spindle. The electric field heats water molecules in the textiles by molecular vibration so that evaporation occurs, and the water vapor is removed from the tank by an extractor fan. The machine may also be used to dye the textiles prior to drying, thus providing an integrated dyeing / drying machine.
