Multi-layer Woven Bag Using Dual-loom Technology
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional textile construction methods, such as stitching, lead to seams that can rip with heavy or repetitive use, limiting the lifespan of textile structures and being labor-intensive.
Innovation Solution
The use of dual-loom technology to create multi-layer woven fabrics, where different discrete layers are woven continuously, minimizing the need for sewing and enhancing durability and reducing manufacturing costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional stitching methods are used to construct textile structures, then assembly is straightforward, but the seams can rip or separate with heavy or repetitive use, limiting the lifespan of the structure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple textile layers into a single integrated woven structure using dual-loom technology. Instead of stitching separate panels together, the invention weaves multiple layers simultaneously at the loom, creating a unified fabric where layers are interlocked through the weaving process itself. This eliminates the need for separate stitching operations and creates seams that are as strong as the surrounding fabric.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention performs the joining action during the weaving process itself rather than as a subsequent step. By incorporating multiple layers into the weaving process from the beginning, the structural integrity is built into the fabric as it is created. The layers are interlocked through the weaving process before the fabric is even cut or assembled into final products, preventing seam failure before it can occur.
2Productivity
If traditional stitching methods are used to assemble textile panels, then the construction process is well-established, but it is labor-intensive and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The dual-loom technology enables continuous weaving of multiple layers in a single uninterrupted process. Unlike traditional methods that require cutting, stitching, and assembling separate panels, this invention continuously weaves the entire multi-layer structure in one operation. The looms operate simultaneously to produce integrated fabric panels that can be directly used in final products, eliminating multiple discrete manufacturing steps.
3Reliability
If multiple discrete layers are woven continuously using dual-loom technology, then the need for sewing is minimized and durability is enhanced, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the weaving process into independent but coordinated operations using separate looms for different layers. Each loom can be controlled independently to create specific layer configurations, and the layers are then combined in the final fabric structure. This segmentation allows for flexible production of different multi-layer configurations while maintaining the benefits of continuous weaving and integrated construction.

AI summary
Woven textile structures constructed using dual-loom technology are provided. Filaments are woven in such a way as to create a first set of different discrete layers of the same fabric in some regions of the textile and a second set of discrete layers of the same fabric at other regions of the same textile. The different layers are used to construct various textile structures such as a woven bag.
