An elastic band may include an elastic weaving body, and a three-dimensional protruding surface is knitted on a front surface of the elastic weaving body while a flat plush surface is knitted on a rear surface thereof. The three-dimensional protruding surface comprises a plurality protruding portions separated with the same interval. When the elastic band is in use, the protruding portions not only can improve the friction coefficient of the surface so as to avoid the elastic band from loosen, but also can be used as ribs on the elastic weaving body to prevent the elastic band from being folded and to keep the elastic band smooth. Also, the three-dimensional protruding surface and the flat plush surface can provide extra soft touch for skin and have the effect of reducing pressure, which greatly improves comfort to wear.

This disclosure generally relates to a hammock strap. The hammock strap includes an elongated length of strap material that is separated into a first strap and a second strap. The first strap and the second strap are woven together at one or more separation points to form eyelets between the first strap and the second strap.

A fiber structure body is a multi-layered fabric. The multi-layered fabric includes first yarn layers including first yarns, and second yarn layers including second yarns that intersect with the first yarns. The first yarn layers and the second yarn layers are stacked on top of each other and bound by binder yarns. The fiber structure body includes a main body in which all yarn layers are bounded by the binder yarns, and a branch portion continuous with the main body and including a first formation and a second formation. A main axis of each of closest second yarns closest to a branching boundary line among the second yarns of the main body is parallel to the branching boundary line. The branching boundary line extends along a location from which the first formation and the second formation of the branch portion start branching out.

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.

Fabric may be woven using a needle weaving machine. The needle weaving machine may have three weft fiber needles and two hooks for holding weft fibers from the weft fiber needles. One of the weft fiber needles may provide weft fibers to multiple hooks when weaving fabric with warp fibers held in a V-shaped profile. An electronic device may have a rectangular footprint with four curved corners. A length of fabric may be woven to form a case having four curved corners that match the four curved corners of the electronic device. The case may have a C-shaped profile with parallel upper and lower fabric portions coupled by a sidewall. Short rows of weft fiber may be used around the corners of the case to ensure that the upper and lower portions of the fabric lie flush with planar front and rear surfaces of the electronic device.

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for forming three-dimensional woven preforms that can be curved and have continuous fibers in the direction of curvature. Also disclosed are woven preforms formed thereby.
