Multilayer Composite Cloth with Embedded Elastic Enhancement Strip
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current stretch cloths provide uniform elasticity, which limits their ability to offer targeted binding or support to specific muscle areas or joints, and external elastic enhancement strips can affect the texture, break easily, and hide patterns, reducing their utility and aesthetic appeal.
Innovation Solution
A multilayer composite cloth structure with an elastic enhancement strip hidden between two-way or four-way stretch cloths, using polymer materials like TPE, PU, or silica gel, distributed in a preset pattern to provide varying elasticity and scalability without affecting the surface appearance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If external elastic enhancement strips are integrated on the preset area of stretch cloth, then different areas of stretch cloth can generate different elasticity and scalability, but the elastic enhancement strip will affect the texture of cloth, break or fall off due to external frictions, and reduce the variability, utility and beauty
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic enhancement strip is embedded within the layered structure of the stretch cloth, nesting the functional element inside the fabric matrix rather than attaching it externally. This embedding protects the elastic strip from external friction and mechanical damage while maintaining its elasticity-enhancing function in specific areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic enhancement strip is combined with the stretch cloth layers to form an integrated composite structure. The strip is positioned between layers and secured through the layer assembly, merging the elastic function with the fabric structure to prevent separation while maintaining differential elasticity across different areas.
2Adaptability or versatility
If external elastic enhancement strips are integrated on the preset area of stretch cloth, then different areas of stretch cloth can generate different elasticity and scalability, but the elastic enhancement strip will affect the texture of cloth and hide patterns, reducing the variability, utility and beauty
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic enhancement strip is nested within the layered fabric structure, concealing it from external view. The multiple layers of stretch cloth cover the embedded strip, allowing the fabric's surface patterns and texture to remain visible and intact while the elastic function operates beneath the surface.
3Ease of manufacture
If single artificial elastic fiber or nylon is used to make stretch cloth, then the manufacturing process is simple, but single and uniform elasticity will generate when the same stretch cloth is stretched from any direction, and local areas will not generate different elasticity
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic enhancement strip is positioned in specific preset areas between the stretch cloth layers, creating local variations in elasticity. This allows different regions of the fabric to exhibit different elastic properties while maintaining a relatively simple manufacturing process of layer assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The uniform stretch cloth layers are combined with localized elastic enhancement strips to create a composite structure that maintains manufacturing simplicity through layer assembly while achieving differential elasticity in specific areas through the strategically placed enhancement strips.

AI summary
A multilayer composite cloth with different flexibility and scalability can be used in wearing articles. The multilayer composite cloth has at least two surface-overlaid stretch cloths to present a multilayer composite structure. An elastic enhancement strip is bound between the two stretch cloths and corresponds to local area of the two stretch cloths, enabling the distribution area of the elastic enhancement strip to generate different elasticity. The elastic enhancement strip is hidden between the stretch cloths but does not appear on the surface of the composite co-structure cloth, thus enabling the composite co-structure cloth to present one cloth pattern with different elasticity and scalability. This cloth used in wearing articles will provide binding, support or bracing to muscles or joints maintain aesthetics of wearing articles and achieve the goals of protection, reducing injury probability, slimming and beauty.
