Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing technology, and in particular to a moisture-wicking and moisture-wicking fabric and clothing. Background Technology

[0002] In modern society, with increased health awareness and growing demand for exercise, the requirements for clothing comfort have significantly increased. Especially during exercise, fitness activities, yoga, in high-temperature environments, or prolonged wear, the human skin continuously releases moisture through sweat evaporation and involuntary perspiration, causing the humidity inside clothing to rise rapidly. If the clothing fabric cannot absorb and release this moisture in time, it will not only cause a sticky feeling on the skin but may also lead to bacterial growth in the damp environment, resulting in skin itching, allergies, and other problems.

[0003] In existing technologies, clothing fabrics with moisture-wicking properties mainly rely on the physical properties of a single fiber material or simple structural design. For example, cotton fibers are used as clothing fabrics, taking advantage of their strong moisture absorption to quickly absorb moisture exhaled by the body. Alternatively, polyester fibers are used as clothing fabrics, utilizing their quick-drying properties to reduce the stickiness of the fabric to the body.

[0004] However, cotton fibers dry slowly after absorbing moisture, which can make the wearer feel sticky; while synthetic fibers such as polyester have good quick-drying properties, their moisture absorption capacity is weak, making it difficult to meet the comfort needs of the body after continuous perspiration. In view of this, there is an urgent need for a fabric that can balance quick moisture absorption and dryness and breathability. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a moisture-wicking and breathable fabric and garment to achieve the effect of rapid sweat wicking and keeping the wearer dry and breathable.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a moisture-wicking and moisture-wicking fabric, comprising:

[0007] A skin-friendly layer, the skin-friendly layer comprising a first yarn, the first yarn being composed of a first hydrophobic fiber;

[0008] A surface layer is disposed on the surface of the skin-friendly layer, the surface layer comprising a second yarn, the second yarn being composed of a blend of moisture-absorbing fibers and a second hydrophobic fiber;

[0009] The skin-friendly layer has a porous structure to form moisture transport channels that extend to the surface layer.

[0010] Optionally, the porous structure is one of a mesh structure, a bird's eye structure, a terry loop structure, or a honeycomb structure.

[0011] Optionally, the first hydrophobic fiber includes at least one of polypropylene fiber and polyethylene fiber.

[0012] Optionally, the second hydrophobic fiber includes at least one of polyester fiber, polypropylene fiber, and nylon fiber, and the moisture-absorbing fiber includes at least one of wool fiber, viscose fiber, and cupro fiber.

[0013] Optionally, the skin-friendly layer further includes a third yarn, which is woven in a loop with the first yarn, and the third yarn is composed of a third hydrophobic fiber.

[0014] Optionally, the third hydrophobic fiber includes at least one of polyester fiber, polypropylene fiber, polyethylene fiber, and nylon fiber.

[0015] Optionally, the surface layer further includes a fourth yarn, which is woven in a loop with the second yarn, and the fourth yarn is composed of a fourth hydrophobic fiber.

[0016] Optionally, the fourth hydrophobic fiber includes at least one of polyester fiber, polypropylene fiber, and nylon fiber.

[0017] Optionally, the yarn fineness of the skin-friendly layer is 30-200D;

[0019] Optionally, the weight of the moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric is 100-250 g / m².

[0020] Optionally, the skin-friendly layer and the surface layer are fixedly connected by a weaving or interlacing process.

[0021] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a garment comprising the aforementioned moisture-wicking and moisture-wicking fabric.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0023] This application provides a moisture-wicking and breathable fabric and garment. By configuring the first yarn as being composed of a first hydrophobic fiber, the skin-friendly layer composed of the first yarn has hydrophobic properties. When human skin continuously comes into contact with the skin-friendly layer through sweat evaporation and gaseous excretion (hereinafter referred to as moisture), the hydrophobicity of the skin-friendly layer can prevent moisture retention. At the same time, the moisture transport channels formed by the porous structure of the skin-friendly layer allow moisture to pass through quickly, enabling moisture to be rapidly discharged from the human skin to the surface, keeping the skin-friendly layer in contact with the human body dry and breathable. By configuring the second yarn as being composed of a blend of moisture-wicking fiber and a second hydrophobic fiber, the moisture-wicking properties of the moisture-wicking fiber are used to quickly absorb moisture from the skin-friendly layer to the surface, and the hydrophobic properties of the second hydrophobic fiber are used to accelerate the diffusion of moisture to the external environment, achieving rapid moisture release to the environment outside the fabric, i.e., rapid moisture release. Through the synergistic action of the skin-friendly layer and the surface layer, moisture is prevented from lingering in either the skin-friendly layer or the surface layer, thus keeping the skin dry and reducing stickiness and stuffiness during exercise, high temperatures, and other scenarios.

[0033] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0034] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0035] In existing technologies, single-fiber materials (such as cotton) have strong moisture absorption but slow drying speed, while synthetic fibers (such as polyester) are quick-drying but have poor moisture absorption, making it difficult to achieve a balance between moisture absorption and release. For example, cotton fibers tend to stick to the skin after absorbing moisture, while polyester, although quick-drying, has insufficient moisture absorption capacity, causing wearers to feel stuffy during exercise. In high-temperature or high-intensity sports scenarios, existing fabrics do not release moisture quickly enough after absorption, leading to moisture retention and causing stickiness and skin problems.

[0036] This application provides a moisture-wicking and breathable fabric and garment that, through layered structural design and synergistic optimization of fiber materials, achieves a comprehensive improvement in the performance of moisture absorption, moisture release, and dryness and breathability, solving the problem that existing garment fabrics cannot simultaneously achieve rapid moisture absorption and dryness and breathability.

[0037] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this application provides a moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric in a first aspect, the fabric comprising a skin-friendly layer 100 and a surface layer 200. The skin-friendly layer 100 includes a first yarn 110, which is composed of a first hydrophobic fiber. The surface layer 200 is fixed to the surface of the skin-friendly layer 100 and includes a second yarn 210, which is composed of a blend of moisture-wicking fiber and a second hydrophobic fiber. The skin-friendly layer 100 has a porous structure to form moisture transport channels extending to the surface layer 200.

[0039] In the above technical solution, "skin-friendly" refers to the fabric layer that directly contacts the skin. The moisture transport channel refers to the physical channel through which moisture migrates from the skin-friendly layer 100 to the surface layer 200, formed by the pores in the porous structure of the skin-friendly layer 100. By setting the first yarn 110 to be composed of a first hydrophobic fiber, the skin-friendly layer 100 composed of the first yarn 110 has hydrophobic properties. When human skin continuously comes into contact with the skin-friendly layer 100 through sweat evaporation and gaseous excretion (hereinafter referred to as moisture), the hydrophobicity of the skin-friendly layer 100 can prevent moisture retention. At the same time, the moisture transport channel formed by the porous structure of the skin-friendly layer 100 allows moisture to pass through quickly, enabling moisture to be rapidly conducted from the human skin to the surface layer 200, keeping the skin-friendly layer 100 in contact with the human body dry and breathable. By configuring the second yarn 210 as a blend of moisture-absorbing fibers and a second hydrophobic fiber, the moisture-absorbing fibers quickly draw moisture from the skin-friendly layer 100 into the surface layer 200, while the hydrophobic fibers accelerate the diffusion of moisture to the external environment, thus achieving rapid moisture release. The combination of the skin-friendly layer 100 and the surface layer 200 prevents moisture from accumulating in either layer, keeping the skin dry and reducing stickiness and stuffiness during activities such as sports and high temperatures.

[0040] In some alternative embodiments, the porous structure is one of a mesh structure, a bird's-eye structure, a terry loop structure, or a honeycomb structure.

[0041] Understandable, such as Figure 5 As shown, a mesh structure refers to a fabric structure with regularly spaced pores formed through a weaving process. Because... Figure 2 As shown, a terry loop structure refers to a fabric structure with ring-shaped protrusions on the surface, formed through a weaving process, and is a single-sided or double-sided terry loop woven from ground yarns and loop yarns. A honeycomb structure refers to a fabric structure with hexagonal pores resembling a honeycomb, formed through a weaving process; for example, hexagonal pores formed by three interlaced yarns. A bird's-eye structure refers to a fabric structure with fine pores on the surface, formed through a weaving process; for example, circular or elliptical pores formed by two interlaced yarns.

[0042] Mesh, bird's-eye, terry, or honeycomb structures are all loose, porous structures that can form the aforementioned moisture transport channels through capillary action, accelerating moisture removal. For example, the terry structure increases surface area through annular protrusions, using capillary action to quickly remove moisture from the skin surface to the surface layer 200. The mesh structure forms interconnected paths through regular pores, enhancing the lateral diffusion of moisture and quickly removing it from the skin surface to the surface layer 200. The hexagonal pores of the honeycomb structure provide uniform moisture transport paths, quickly removing moisture from the skin surface to the surface layer 200. The fine pores of the bird's-eye structure improve localized moisture removal efficiency, enabling moisture to be quickly removed from the skin surface to the surface layer 200.

[0043] In some alternative embodiments, the first hydrophobic fiber includes at least one of polypropylene fiber and polyethylene fiber.

[0044] It is understood that polypropylene fiber is a synthetic fiber made from polypropylene, and polyethylene fiber is a synthetic fiber made from polyethylene. Both polypropylene and polyethylene fibers have low moisture absorption and high hydrophobicity. The skin-friendly layer 100 made from polypropylene and / or polyethylene fibers can prevent moisture retention. Furthermore, the loose structure of polypropylene fibers can form more capillary channels, i.e., more moisture transport channels, accelerating moisture removal. Polyethylene fibers, with their smooth surface, can reduce moisture adsorption and accelerate moisture removal.

[0045] It should be noted that when the first yarn 110 contains both polyethylene fiber and polypropylene fiber, the polyethylene fiber and polypropylene fiber can be twisted to form the first yarn 110.

[0046] In some alternative embodiments, the second hydrophobic fiber includes at least one of polyester fiber, polypropylene fiber, and nylon fiber, and the moisture-absorbing fiber includes at least one of wool fiber, viscose fiber, and cupro fiber.

[0047] Polyester fiber is the commercial name for polyester fiber, a synthetic fiber produced by the melt spinning process of polycondensation of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. Nylon fiber is produced by the polymerization of caprolactam or adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine to obtain nylon 6 or nylon 66 in a saline solution. Then, through a series of processing steps, such as spinning, stretching, and heat setting, the final synthetic fiber is produced. Polyester, polypropylene, and nylon fibers all have high hydrophobicity. Wool fiber refers to natural protein fiber made from wool. Viscose fiber is a regenerated cellulose fiber made from natural cellulose extracted from plants such as wood and bamboo. Cuprammonium fiber refers to a regenerated cellulose fiber made by dissolving natural cellulose from plants such as wood and cotton in a cuprammonium solution. Cuprammonium fiber has a smoother feel and better drape than viscose fiber. Wool, viscose, and cuprammonium fibers all have high hydrophilicity and high moisture absorption. Therefore, by weaving the second yarn 210, which is made by blending the second hydrophobic fiber with the moisture-absorbing fiber, into the surface layer 200, the moisture transmitted by the skin-friendly layer 100 can be quickly absorbed by the moisture-absorbing fibers in the surface layer 200 when it reaches the surface layer 200, keeping the skin-friendly layer 100 and the skin dry. At the same time, the second hydrophobic fiber can reduce the adhesion of moisture and accelerate the outward diffusion of moisture, so that the moisture absorption-storage-release cycle can be realized under the synergistic effect of the second hydrophobic fiber and the moisture-absorbing fiber, thereby improving the moisture absorption, moisture release and dryness and breathability of the fabric.

[0048] It should be noted that when the second hydrophobic fiber includes two or more of polyester, polypropylene, and nylon fibers, it can be manufactured by twisting. For example, when the second hydrophobic fiber includes both polyester and polypropylene fibers, the polypropylene and polyester fibers can be twisted to form a second hydrophobic fiber containing both polyester and polypropylene fibers. Similarly, when the moisture-absorbing fiber includes two or more of wool, viscose, and cupro fibers, it can be manufactured by twisting. For example, when the moisture-absorbing fiber includes both wool and cupro fibers, the wool and cupro fibers can be twisted to form a moisture-absorbing fiber containing both wool and cupro fibers.

[0049] In some alternative embodiments, the skin-friendly layer 100 further includes a third yarn 120, which is woven in a loop with the first yarn 110, and the third yarn 120 is made of a third hydrophobic fiber.

[0050] The third yarn 120, composed of a third hydrophobic fiber, is incorporated, allowing the skin-friendly layer 100 to be woven from two different hydrophobic yarns in a cyclic manner, thereby obtaining the properties of two different hydrophobic fibers. For example, the first hydrophobic fiber may be polypropylene fiber, and the third hydrophobic fiber may be polyethylene fiber. Both polypropylene and polyethylene fibers have high hydrophobicity, and polyethylene fiber has higher strength than polypropylene fiber. Therefore, when the skin-friendly layer 100 is woven from polyethylene and polypropylene yarns in a cyclic manner, higher abrasion resistance and tear resistance can be achieved.

[0051] In some alternative embodiments, the third hydrophobic fiber includes at least one of polyester fiber, polypropylene fiber, polyethylene fiber, and nylon fiber.

[0052] It should be noted that when the third hydrophobic fiber includes two or more of polyester fibers, polypropylene fibers, polyethylene fibers, and nylon fibers, the third hydrophobic fiber can be made by twisting. For example, when the third fiber includes both polyester fibers and polypropylene fibers, the polyester fibers and polypropylene fibers can be twisted to form a third hydrophobic fiber containing both polyester fibers and polypropylene fibers.

[0053] In some alternative embodiments, the surface layer 200 further includes a fourth yarn 220, which is woven in a loop with the second yarn 210, and the fourth yarn 220 is composed of a fourth hydrophobic fiber.

[0054] A fourth yarn 220 is provided, and the fourth yarn 220 and the second yarn 210 are woven together to form the surface layer 200, so that the proportion of hydrophobic fibers in the surface layer 200 is higher, thereby further enhancing the connectivity of the moisture transmission channel and reducing the retention of moisture in the surface layer 200.

[0055] In some alternative embodiments, the fourth hydrophobic fiber includes at least one of polyester fiber, polypropylene fiber, and nylon fiber.

[0056] The fourth hydrophobic fiber, made of polyester, polypropylene and nylon fibers, has high hydrophobicity, which can increase the proportion of hydrophobic fibers in the surface layer 200 and reduce the retention of moisture in the thin layer.

[0057] Alternatively, in the fabric manufacturing process, the second and fourth hydrophobic fibers can be made of the same hydrophobic fiber; for example, both the second and fourth hydrophobic fibers can be made of polyester, polypropylene, or nylon. Other alternatively, the second and fourth hydrophobic fibers can be made of different hydrophobic fibers; for example, the second hydrophobic fiber can be made of polyester, and the fourth hydrophobic fiber can be made of nylon.

[0058] In some alternative embodiments, the yarn fineness of the skin-friendly layer 100 is 30D-200D. The yarn fineness of the surface layer 200 is 30D-150D, or the yarn count of the surface layer 200 is 10S-50S.

[0059] It is understandable that the yarn in the skin-friendly layer 100 refers to the first yarn 110. The yarn in the surface layer 200 refers to the second yarn 210, or the second yarn 210 and the fourth yarn 220.

[0060] In the skin-friendly layer 100, the larger the fineness value of the first yarn 110, the coarser the first yarn 110, resulting in larger pores between the first yarns 110 and better breathability. However, the increased pores between the first yarns 110 reduce the capillary effect, hindering the skin-friendly layer 100's ability to effectively transfer moisture to the surface layer 200. Consequently, moisture cannot be quickly absorbed from the skin surface, preventing the skin-friendly layer from keeping the skin dry. Therefore, adjusting the fineness of the first yarn 110 in the skin-friendly layer 100 optimizes the balance between capillary effect and breathability. In this embodiment, 30-200D yarn is used as the skin-friendly layer 100, which can take into account both the capillary effect and breathability of the skin-friendly layer 100. This allows the skin-friendly layer 100 to have sufficient capillary effect to quickly remove sweat from the skin surface and keep the skin dry, while also having enough pores to ensure suitable breathability.

[0061] In the surface layer 200, the smaller the yarn fineness, the finer the yarn, and the larger the specific surface area of ​​the yarn per unit area of ​​the fabric. This provides a larger evaporation area for moisture, enabling rapid vaporization and quick dehumidification of the surface layer 200. However, the even finer second yarn 210 can form even smaller capillary channels. When moisture is drawn into these capillary channels, it is firmly locked within them, increasing the energy required for this locked moisture to migrate into the air, thus affecting the evaporation efficiency. Therefore, this embodiment uses 30-150D yarn, which can form a larger evaporation area for rapid moisture absorption in the surface layer 200, while avoiding the formation of tiny capillary channels that could hinder moisture migration to the surface of the surface layer 200, thus enabling rapid evaporation and dehumidification.

[0062] In the surface layer 200, the higher the yarn count, the higher the density of the surface layer 200 woven by the second yarn 210, resulting in a faster moisture absorption rate and better moisture absorption. However, the increased density of the surface layer 200 makes it more compact, hindering moisture dissipation and slowing down the rate of moisture release, thus reducing its moisture release effect. In this embodiment, a 10-50S yarn is used as the second yarn 210 of the surface layer 200, which balances both moisture absorption and release performance, allowing the surface layer 200 to quickly absorb and release moisture.

[0063] In some alternative implementations, the weight of the moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric is 100-250 g / m².

[0064] It is understandable that a higher fabric weight per square meter (g / m²) results in greater fabric thickness and durability. However, greater fabric thickness leads to a slower drying rate, i.e., a slower moisture wicking speed, and also reduces breathability to some extent. Therefore, this embodiment sets the weight of the moisture-wicking fabric to 100-250 g / m², thus balancing fabric durability, moisture wicking speed, and breathability.

[0065] In some alternative embodiments, the skin-friendly layer 100 and the surface layer 200 are fixedly connected by an interlacing or weaving process.

[0066] It can be understood that the weaving process refers to the process of directly weaving the first yarn 110 of the skin-friendly layer 100 and the second yarn 210 of the surface layer 200 on a loom to form a fabric, and simultaneously weaving the skin-friendly layer 100 and the surface layer 200 during the weaving process. The skin-friendly layer 100 and the surface layer 200 are connected into a whole by weaving at specific positions using knotted weft yarns. In this way, compared with the moisture-wicking fabric formed by bonding the skin-friendly layer 100 and the surface layer 200 together using an adhesive composite process, the connection structure between the surface layer 200 and the skin-friendly layer 100 in the moisture-wicking fabric woven using the weaving process is more stable and less prone to delamination. Meanwhile, because the weaving process directly connects the skin-friendly layer 100 and the surface layer 200 through yarn, the moisture transmission channels on the skin-friendly layer 100 can better connect with the surface layer 200. This allows moisture on the skin surface to quickly reach the surface layer 200 through the moisture transmission channels, resulting in a better drying effect. It also shortens the time for moisture to evaporate into the air, thus improving the fabric's moisture absorption and release efficiency.

[0067] It should be noted that when using a knitting process, and the skin-friendly layer is 100% terry cloth, such as Figure 2As shown, because the number of loop yarns (first yarn 110 and / or third yarn 120) constituting the loop structure is small, and all loop yarns are connected to the yarns of the surface layer 200 (second yarn 210 and / or fourth yarn 220), when the structure of the skin-friendly layer 100 is viewed from the direction of the skin-friendly layer 100 toward the surface layer 200, the second yarn 210 and / or fourth yarn 220 located on the surface layer 200 will be exposed. When a knitting process is used, and the skin-friendly layer 100 has a mesh structure, such as Figure 4 As shown, in Figure 4 In areas with larger pores, the yarns of the skin-friendly layer 100 (first yarn 110 and / or third yarn 120) sink into the surface layer 200 as connecting lines, connecting with the yarns of the surface layer 200 (second yarn 210 and / or fourth yarn 220). In areas without pores, the yarns of the inner layers are interlocked.

[0068] Interlacing refers to the process of forming a fabric by vertically interlacing warp and weft yarns. Taking the skin-friendly layer 100, which includes a first yarn 110, and the outer layer 200, which includes a second yarn 210, as an example, when using interlacing to weave a moisture-wicking and dry-resistant fabric, both the inner warp and inner weft yarns are the first yarn 110, which are interlaced on the loom to form the skin-friendly layer 100; both the outer warp and outer weft yarns are the second yarn 210, which are interlaced on the loom to form the outer layer 200; and at the points where the outer layer 200 and the inner layer need to be connected, the second yarn 210 (outer warp or outer weft yarn) of the outer layer 200 or the first yarn 110 (inner weft or inner warp yarn) of the skin-friendly layer 100 shuttles through the outer layer 200 and the skin-friendly layer 100 at specific points and interlaces together to form a strong knot, thereby fixing the skin-friendly layer 100 and the outer layer 200 together to form a moisture-wicking and dry-resistant fabric. This technique can be applied to various types of fabrics, including but not limited to silk, cotton, linen, and wool. Interweaving techniques can produce fabrics with different textures and appearances depending on the weaving method and structure. For example, plain weave, twill weave, and satin weave are three basic interweaving structures, which can create a wide variety of textiles by changing the interweaving pattern of the warp and weft threads.

[0069] Of course, when the skin-friendly layer 100 includes a first yarn 110 and a third yarn 120 and is interwoven, one of the inner warp yarn and the inner weft yarn can be the first yarn 110, and the other can be the third yarn 120. When the outer layer 200 includes a second yarn 210 and a fourth yarn 220 and is interwoven, one of the outer warp yarn and the outer weft yarn can be the second yarn 210, and the other can be the fourth yarn 220.

[0082] The method for testing hygroscopic properties is as follows:

[0083] First, take a portion of the fabric as a sample, put the sample into a weighing bottle, and measure its initial mass (ocean-dry mass).

[0084] Secondly, the sample was allowed to absorb moisture at 40°C and 90% RH, and the mass of the sample was measured after a period of moisture absorption.

[0085] Furthermore, the sample was dehumidified at 20°C and 65%RH, and the sample mass was measured after a certain period of dehumidification.

[0086] Finally, the initial mass is compared with the mass at each time point to calculate the moisture absorption rate (%).

[0087] The test method for water absorption and quick drying is as follows:

[0088] The water absorption performance was tested according to JIS L 1907 (drip method), and the quick-drying performance was tested according to the diffusivity residual moisture content (%).

[0089] The following are the test results of the moisture absorption and release performance test and the water absorption and quick-drying test of Examples 1-5 above:

[0090] Example Moisture absorption rate (%) after 4 hours of moisture absorption Moisture absorption rate (%) after 4 hours of moisture release Water absorption (S) Residual moisture percentage after 30 minutes (%) 1 8.2 5.9 1 26.4 2 7.8 5.0 1 20.3 3 7.3 5.5 1 25.1 4 7.5 4.6 1 23.5 5 7.6 4.8 1 22.5

[0091] In a second aspect, this application provides a garment comprising the aforementioned moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric. It is understood that garments made using the aforementioned moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric possess all the effects of such fabrics; further details will not be elaborated upon here.

[0092] It should be noted that the embodiments referred to in the specification, such as "one embodiment," "embodiment," "exemplary embodiment," and "some embodiments," may include specific features, structures, or characteristics, but not every embodiment necessarily includes that specific feature, structure, or characteristic. Furthermore, such phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Moreover, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments, whether explicitly described or not, is within the knowledge scope of those skilled in the art.

[0093] Generally speaking, terms should be understood at least in part by their use in context. For example, the term “one or more” as used in the text can be used, at least in part, to describe any feature, structure, or characteristic of the meaning of the singular, or a combination of features, structures, or characteristics of the meaning of the plural, depending on the context.

[0094] It should be readily understood that the terms “on,” “above,” and “on top of” in this application should be interpreted in the broadest possible sense, such that “on” means not only “directly on something” but also “on something” with an intermediate feature or layer therebetween, and that “above” or “on top of” means not only “on something” but also “on something” without an intermediate feature or layer therebetween (i.e., directly on something).

[0095] Furthermore, for ease of explanation, spatially relative terms such as "below," "below," "under," "above," and "above" may be used to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to other elements or features as shown in the figures. Spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation other than those shown in the figures. The device may have other orientations (rotated 90° or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptive terms used herein may be interpreted accordingly.

[0096] Finally, it should be noted that other embodiments of this utility model will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the utility model disclosed herein. This utility model is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this utility model that follow the general principles of this utility model and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein, and is not limited to the precise structures described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this utility model is limited only by the appended claims.
