A textile sheet element having selectively applied arrays of surface projection elements defining raised zones across an active surface for cleaning and/or personal care, The textile sheet element is adapted for use by itself and/or for attachment to a user manipulated support with or without a handle such as a mop head or the like.

The invention relates to a plush pile knitted product and a knitting machine for the production thereof. Said knitted product comprises knitting threads (9), weft threads (10, 11), and front (14) and rear (12) plush threads, whereas the rear plush threads (12) are cut off at given intervals (a) to form plush pile on the front surface of the product. Said knitting machine comprises a housing (26). On the housing (26), over the entire length of the machine multiple closing safety plates (23) that can move vertically, and push plates (22) for pressing the weft threads (10 and 11) are mounted. Each rear plush plate (8) comprises a cutting disc (27) to cut the rear plush threads (12). Each of the threads (9,14,10,11,12) is fed in using a separate step motor (25).

The present invention provides a mop cleaning cloth and a method for manufacturing the same. The mop cleaning cloth comprises, sequentially from bottom to top, a base cloth layer, a water-absorption layer and a dirt removal layer. The dirt removal layer is formed by high terry fabrics and low terry fabrics. The ratio of the terry height of the high terry fabrics to the terry height of the low terry fabrics is 1.1-5:1. The high terry fabrics have a terry height of 2-20 mm and low terry fabrics have a terry height of 1-10 mm. The water-absorption layer is formed by a water-absorption fabric made from water-absorption fibers. The base cloth layer is formed by a terry fabric. The manufacturing method is simple, and the mop cleaning cloth is easy to manufacture and has the advantages of being small in resistance, high in water absorptivity and dirt collection and removal capacity, and the like.

A method of forming a three-dimensional conductive patch, the three-dimensional conductive patch forming a base layer coupled to one or more loop sections extending transverse o the base layer is disclosed. The method comprising forming the base fabric surface by interlacing a plurality of fibres including non-conductive fibres; forming a first segment including conductive fibres as a first portion of the three-dimensional conductive patch by interlacing a plurality of the conductive fibres transverse to the base fabric surface, the first portion interlaced with a first base fibre of the base fabric surface at one end and in a direction to an apex distanced from the base surface layer at another end of the first segment; and forming a second segment as a second portion of the three-dimensional conductive patch by interlacing a plurality of fibres including the conductive fibres extending in a direction from the apex to a second base fibre of the base surface layer; wherein the second portion is positioned relative to the first portion via the first base fibre and the second base fibre such that the first and second portions form a loop extending from the base fabric surface, the loop having the apex spaced apart from the base fabric surface, the first portion, the second portion and the base fabric surface integral with each other.

A fabric assembly includes a knitted fabric and a filament. The knitted fabric is adapted to move between a stretched state extended along a direction of an applied force, and a relaxed state. The filament is disposed in the knitted fabric, and includes a plurality of loops longitudinally spaced apart from one-another. Each loop of the plurality of loops are adapted to project outward from the knitted fabric when in the stretched state, and substantially retract into the knitted fabric when in the relaxed state.

An article of apparel and method of making the article of apparel for a wearer is disclosed herein. In at least one embodiment, the article of apparel comprises a fabric defining a first, inner surface facing the wearer, and a second, outer surface opposite the first surface. A plurality of compression areas are formed along the inner fabric surface, each compression area comprising compressed yarns. A sealing agent effective to reduce the air permeability of the fabric is applied to each compression area. The sealing agent secures the yarns in a compressed state.

A method of manufacturing a flexible grinding product comprises the steps: a) preparing an open cloth of knitted or woven fabric; b) applying a coating to one surface of the cloth, wherein the coated surface of the cloth has one or more flat portions; c) applying a grinding agent to the coated surface of the cloth. Further, a flexible grinding product has an open cloth, wherein a surface of the cloth is provided with a coating such that the coated surface has one or more flat areas which are at least partially provided with a grinding agent.

A composite loop face fabric which incorporates a multi-bar stitch-bonded construction and related fastening system. A yarn system forms an arrangement of surface loops extending in stitched relation through a composite nonwoven substrate incorporating one or more layers of melt blown nonwoven fibrous material in sandwiched relation to one or more layers of spunbond nonwoven fibrous material. Multiple layers of melt blown nonwoven material and/or spunbond nonwoven material may be used if desired.
