An integrally woven manifold is disclosed including a primary portion having a primary lumen disposed therein, a secondary portion branching off the primary portion, the secondary portion having a secondary lumen disposed therein in fluid communication with the primary lumen, and a first transitional portion connecting the primary portion to the secondary portion, the first transitional portion having a first aperture through which the secondary lumen fluidly communicates with the primary lumen. The primary portion has a first weave pattern, the secondary portion has at least a second weave pattern, and the first transitional portion is free of punctures, cuts, and bursts. A method for forming the integrally woven manifold is disclosed including continuously interlacing warp and weft to form the primary portion, intermittently interlacing the warp and the weft to form the secondary portion, and disengaging and reengaging the warp and the weft to form the first transitional portion.

The application relates to the technical field of wiring accessories, in particular to a protective tube. The protective tube includes a tube wall and fluffy warp yarns, wherein the tube wall forms a pipeline for a cable to be threaded therein and includes cross-woven first warp yarns and first weft yarns; the fluffy warp yarns are on an inner surface of the tube wall and are fluffier than the first warp yarns, the fluffy warp yarns are cross-woven with the first weft yarns and form a plurality of intersections with the first weft yarns, and each of the fluffy warp yarns spans a plurality of the first weft yarns between two adjacent intersections. When the protective tube is subjected to external impact, the tube wall with stronger hardness can protect the cable; moreover, the fluffy warp yarn reduce the friction between the protective tube and the cable.

A wrappable, corrugated woven sleeve and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes a wall having opposite edges wrapped about a central axis into overlapping relation with one another. The wall has a plurality of layers overlying one another. Each layer includes warp yarns extending generally parallel to the central axis woven with fill yarns extending generally transversely to the warp yarns. Each layer includes a plurality of annular first bands and a plurality of annular second bands alternating with one another along the length of the wall. The first bands of each layer include monofilament weft yarn and multifilament weft yarn and the second bands of each layer include only one of monofilament weft yarn or multifilament weft yarn. The first bands overlie one another to form peaks and the second bands B overlie one another to form valleys, such that the wall has a corrugated contour.

Textile balloon catheters, textile sleeves useful in balloon catheters, and methods of making balloon catheters are described. An example catheter includes an elongate shaft and a balloon movable between uninflated and inflated configurations, and a textile sleeve secured to the balloon. The textile sleeve has a plurality of warp threads and at least one weft thread extending circumferentially around the balloon. Circumferential loops in the portion of the textile sleeve that is secured to the body of the balloon are larger in diameter than circumferential loops in the portion of the textile sleeve that is secured to one or more of the proximal neck, distal neck, proximal cone and distal cone portions of the balloon.

Woven irrigation tubing comprises a woven, extrusion coated & laminated tube formed of a high density polyethylene (HDPE) outer layer, a low density polyethylene (LDPE) middle layer and a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) inner layer. The finished tubing is treated for ultraviolet resistance. The tubing is tied off at a distal end with a proximal end connected to a pressurized irrigation source. Watering holes are created in the tubing at spaced intervals and the resulting water streams are directed into parallel plowed furrows. The tubing is completely recyclable. The tubing is formed by manufacturing tape for the woven outer tubing cover, stretching the tape along its length to strengthen it, weaving the outer layer from the tape, flattening the woven outer layer, extrusion coating each surface of the outer layer with LDPE, laminating the LLDPE inner layer to the LDPE, reversing and winding the tubing for storage and distribution.

A loosening prevention lace which overcomes the problems where the lace is slackened or undone upon the lace being tied up through the eyelets for fastening the shoes, garment and as such and which brings unforeseen effect on design or appearance as well. The loosening prevention lace is provided by weaving one picot forming linear body or a plurality of picot forming linear bodies into a tubular woven fabric in a warp yarn direction thereof and protruding one picot forming linear body or a plurality of picot forming linear bodies from a surface of the tubular woven fabric with a certain interval over a longitudinal direction of the tubular fabric in a loop form.
