Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional textile products face challenges in balancing elasticity, ventilation, and durability, particularly in warm weather, as they often compromise on comfort and durability due to the use of materials like Lycra and Rayon, which are not suitable for sultry conditions and lack the necessary toughness.

Innovation Solution

A textile with a basic cloth and a warp yarn layer featuring elastic warp yarns crisscrossed with yarns, providing improved elasticity and ventilation through a special weave structure that includes a plurality of elastic warp yarns and twines, which are parallel and interwoven to enhance flexibility and durability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If conventional elastic materials like Lycra and Rayon are used to make textile flexible, then elasticity is improved, but ventilation property and comfort deteriorate because these polymer materials must be designed as multi-slit to absorb moisture and sweat

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveelasticityVSAvoidventilation property
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines elastic yarns with breathable fabric materials to create a composite textile structure. The elastic yarns provide the necessary flexibility and stretch, while the breathable fabric components maintain ventilation properties by allowing air and moisture passage, thus resolving the contradiction between elasticity and ventilation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies elasticity locally through elastic yarns integrated into specific regions of the textile rather than using entirely elastic polymer materials throughout. This localized approach allows the textile to have elastic properties where needed while maintaining breathable, non-polymer regions for moisture absorption and ventilation, improving both comfort and airflow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Object-affected harmful factors

If Non-woven fabric is used to improve comfort, elastic and ventilation property, then ventilation and comfort are improved, but strength and durability worsen because it is not tough and would be destroyed easily cause in snag or tear

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveventilation propertyVSAvoiddurability
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a composite structure combining non-woven breathable fabric with woven elastic yarns. The non-woven fabric provides ventilation and comfort properties, while the woven elastic yarns contribute tensile strength and resistance to snags and tears. This composite approach allows the textile to simultaneously achieve both breathability and durability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The textile is segmented into different functional components: non-woven breathable zones for ventilation and comfort, and woven elastic yarn structures for strength and durability. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specialized function without compromising the other, with the elastic yarns providing structural integrity to the otherwise delicate non-woven fabric.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Quantity of substance

If multi-slit structure is designed in polymer materials to absorb moisture and sweat, then moisture absorption is improved, but ventilation property worsens because polymer materials are not applicable for this function

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemoisture absorptionVSAvoidventilation property
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces elastic yarns as an intermediary element between the polymer material and the breathable fabric. These elastic yarns serve as a bridge that allows moisture to be absorbed and transported while maintaining ventilation channels, enabling the polymer-based elastic component to work harmoniously with breathable materials rather than blocking airflow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The invention disclosed a textile with elasticity. The textile with elasticity includes a plurality of elastic weft units and a plurality of elastic warp yarns of a warp yarn layer. These weft units include a plurality of weft yarns. The warp yarn layer penetrates through gaps formed by the weft units. The warp yarns and the weft yarns all have elasticity. The warp yarn has a twines, wherein each of the twines ties the warp yarn for binding these warp yarns located at the gap. Therefore, the textile with elasticity has good stretching ability and air permeability, and provides comfortable wearing feel by means of yarns wrapped on the weft yarns.
