Benefits of technology

This patent describes a soft fabric that is made using a base yarn for support and a surface yarn that has been napped. The base yarn is a full drawn polyester yarn, while the surface yarn is a drawn texture polyester yarn. The fabric is constructed by weaving the base and surface yarns using a warp knit process. The fabric can also be heated and dyed. The technical effect is the creation of a soft touch fabric that provides both support and a napped surface.

Problems solved by technology

The conventional fabric product has been prone to shrinkage and wrinkling.

Embodiment Construction

[0007]According to certain embodiments, a fabric that is soft to the touch is made using an underlying base yarn to provide skeletal support, and a surface yarn that has been subjected to a napping process. The base yarn is a full drawn polyester yarn (also known as filament yarn). A non-limiting example of a suitable base yarn is a multifilament full drawn polyester yarn FDY 54D / 24F (54 dernier / 24 filament).

[0008]According to certain embodiments, the surface yarn is a drawn texture polyester yarn DTY 75D / 144F. Both the base yarn and the surface yarn is made using polyester pre-oriented yarn or partially oriented yarn that is warp spun at high speed.

[0009]According to certain embodiments, the drawn texture polyester yarn (DTY) is a false twisted texture yarn, also known as a low stretch yarn is manufactured using Barmag and thermal mechanical treatment advanced elasticizing equipment. The false twisted drawn texture polyester yarn is “false twisted” by combining two yarns with a deg...

Abstract

A method of constructing a warp knit fabric is disclosed. The warp knit fabric is constructed using polyester yarn for both the base yarn and the surface yarn. The resulting warp knit fabric is napped on the top side of the fabric to form a fabric that is soft to the touch.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention is directed to fabric construction, and more specifically to aspects of constructing fabric that feels soft to the touch.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The standard and traditional cotton fabric is created by weaving a tightly spun cotton yarn with a soft twist cotton yarn. When woven, this allows soft twist yarns to be held in place by tightly spun warp yarns. The conventional fabric product has been prone to shrinkage and wrinkling. It is an object of the present invention to provide a stable fabric product that does not shrink or wrinkle, and is soft to the touch.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS[0003]FIG. 1 is a top view of an embodiment of the invention.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]A fabric that is soft to the touch is made using an underlying base yarn to provide skeletal support, and a surface yarn that has been subjected to a napping process. The base yarn is a full drawn polyester yarn (also known as filament ya...
