Provided are an apparatus for manufacturing a textile grid with increased adhesion and a method thereof capable of integrating the textile grid with a concrete structure by increasing the adhesion of the textile grid when the concrete structure is built, repaired, or reinforced, increasing structural safety and durability of the concrete structure, increasing a working speed by coating a surface of the textile grid with an abrasive material powder that is a surface coating material in an automatic series of processes immediately after the textile grid is manufactured, and increasing coating performance by automatically inspecting and adjusting the amount of the coating material applied to the surface of the textile grid using a camera.

Disclosed is a shoe upper with an illuminating logo. The upper includes a main body part, a logo part, and a lighting unit, in which the logo part for illumination may be formed integrally with the upper, providing the upper with an illumination feature. In this way, the upper with an illuminating logo can be manufactured with a reduced amount of time, leading to an improved manufacturing efficiency. In addition, the logo part is much less likely to come off and there is no need for an adhesive or bonding, creating an aesthetically attractive appearance from outside.

Embodiments of a leno weave mesh of the present invention generally include a plurality of high-temperature weft yarns, high-temperature warp yarns, and low melting point warp yarns; wherein each low melting point warp yarn is intertwined with a high-temperature warp yarn, each intertwined pair of warp yarns is positioned such that the low melting point warp yarn and high-temperature warp yarn are disposed alternatingly on either side of the woven mesh at intersections of the weft and warp yarns, and the woven mesh is heated whereby the surfaces of the low melting point warp yarns adhere to the surface of the high-temperature warp yarns and said high-temperature weft yarns at contact points there between. An intumescent coating system employing embodiments of the mesh, and a method of providing thermal protection to a substrate utilizing the intumescent coating system, are also provided.

An article of footwear includes a sole and an upper. The upper includes a leno woven fabric having a continuous leno weave pattern of a plurality of warp yarns extending in a longitudinal direction and a plurality of weft yarns extending in a transverse direction. The leno woven fabric includes zones having different stretch characteristics.

To provide a gauze woven fabric which has excellent opaqueness, moisture retention properties, water absorbency and comfort for skin while maintaining light weight and air permeability which are characteristic properties of gauze woven fabrics. Warps are supplied from a first beam, and wefts are then drawn across the warps to form a tight layer A. Warps are supplied from a second beam that has a higher supply speed than that of the first beam, and wefts are then drawn across the warps to form a loosened layer B. Subsequently, knotting points for connecting the layer A to the layer B regularly are formed.

The present invention provides a fabric comprising or consisting of: a first yarn comprising a fiber blend of modal and polyester; a second yarn comprising spandex; and a third yarn comprising polyester. The polyester in the fiber blend may have a cross-section such as X-shape, M-shape, I-shape, honeycomb-shape, Y-shape, U-shape or O-shape that creates a plurality of spaces along the length of the first yarn that facilitate a capillary action. The modal in the fiber blend may have a cross-section that is substantially rectangular.

Provided is a multiple gauze fabric having excellent friction strength while maintaining skin feel like twistless yarn fabric. The multiple gauze fabric is constituted from a first gauze structure as a front surface, a second gauze structure as a back surface, and a third gauze structure as an intermediate layer. The first gauze structure is formed using a first twisted yarn as a warp, and using a second twisted yarn as a weft. The second gauze structure is formed using a third twisted yarn as a weft, and a fourth twisted yarn as a warp. The third gauze structure is formed using a fifth twisted yarn as a warp, and a sixth twisted yarn as a weft. The twist coefficient of second and fourth twisted yarn is 3.0 or less. The twist coefficient of first, third, fifth and sixth twisted yarn is 3.3 or more.

A gauze fabric having good touch feeling and capable of being sewn. The gauze fabric includes surface layer, back layer, and at least one middle layer, wherein the surface layer is composed of non-twisted yarns, wherein the back layer is composed of non-twisted yarns, wherein the at least one middle layer is composed of twisted yarns, and wherein the surface layer and the back layer are directly and/or indirectly joined together.
