The invention describes a seat belt (10) for a motor vehicle comprising a webbing (12) that includes plural layers (26, 28, 30) at least one layer (26) of which comprises an electric heating element (26). The invention further describes a method for manufacturing such seat belt (10).

The present invention forms meshes between intersections of synthetic fiber cords while the synthetic fiber cords having a form in which a plurality of synthetic fiber filaments are plied and twisted is crossed in a knotless type, wherein a diameter (d) of the synthetic fiber cord satisfies the Equation (I), a maximum distance (DI) between the intersections adjacent to each other satisfies the Equation (II), and a minimum distance (D2) between the intersections adjacent to each other satisfies the Equation (III).

Since the present invention is made lightweight with a lower areal density than a conventional protective net for sports and increases rate of hole size with a small diameter of the synthetic fiber cord constituting the protective net, the present invention improves resistance against wind during manufacture of a protective net structure, and has excellent mechanical properties and thus provides excellent resistance against impact applied when a ball flies and bumps. Consequently, the present invention minimizes damage and extends a replacement cycle.

Further, the present invention improves visibility with the high rate of hole size, and also improves stability by effectively preventing penetration of the ball between the meshes.

Further, the present invention is easily mounted in the protective net structure and provides excellent flame retardancy and weather resistance.

The invention addresses the problem of providing a cloth, a multilayered cloth, and a textile product, which have flame retardancy and heat insulation and develop a relief structure when exposed to flame or heat. As a means for resolution, a cloth characterized in that a yarn A having a high thermal shrinkage rate and a yarn B having a low thermal shrinkage rate are alternately arranged in the warp direction or weft direction is obtained, then, as necessary, a multilayered cloth is obtained using the cloth as an intermediate layer, and further, as necessary, a textile product is formed using the multilayered cloth.

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.

A yarn is disclosed, which includes a blend of: 33-75 wt. % of a flame resistant fiber having a limit of oxygen index of 43%, a thermal conductivity of 0.0063 watt/meter/K and a moisture regain of 12%; 10-40 wt. % of an aramid fiber; and up to 36% of a wearability enhancing fiber selected from the group consisting of wool, flame resistant rayon and lyocell, wherein the yarn is free of thermoplastics and is sufficiently flame resistant such that a fabric consisting of the yarn is effective to limit a body burn percentage resulting from 4 seconds of flame exposure to less than 35% as measured by ASTM F1930. Fabrics and garments including the inventive yarn are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a fabric containing a modacrylic fiber A and a cellulosic fiber, wherein the modacrylic fiber A contains an infrared absorber inside the fiber, and the fabric is dyed with at least a yellow cationic dye, a yellow reactive dye, and a yellow disperse dye. The fabric can be produced by dyeing a fabric containing a modacrylic fiber A and a cellulosic fiber with a cationic dye, a reactive dye, and a disperse dye to exhibit a fluorescent yellow color. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a fabric with excellent arc resistance and visibility, a method for producing the same, and a clothing item using the same.
