The present disclosure provides cover systems for covering components of a cabin interior of a vehicle, such as an automobile, a train car, a bus, a boat, or an aircraft, among others. For instance, the cover systems may cover one or more of a seat and a floor, among others, of the cabin interior. The fabric cover systems may absorb or partially absorb one or more of low-frequency sounds, such as low-frequency noise emitted by an engine, and high-frequency sounds, among others. The fabric cover systems may absorb or partially absorb odor molecules. The fabric covering systems may include multiple layers. For instance, one of the layers may include activated carbon fibers. The activated carbon fibers may absorb or partially absorb one or more of sounds, liquids, and odors, among others.

An assembly is described for chairs, armchairs, sofas and the like, comprising a knitted artefact (1) and sliders (12). The artefact (1) comprises a multilayer and two ends (11) of tubular shape for fixing the multilayer, wherein the multilayer comprises a knitted fabric front layer (2) and a knitted fabric rear layer (3) fixed to sliders (12) of the artefact (1) at said two ends (11). The artefact (1) further comprises heat-shrinking yarns (5) associated with the multilayer, wherein the heat-shrinking yarns (5) are fixed with a series of connection points (7) spaced apart to the sliders (12) so as to develop in weft between the two ends (11) of the artefact (1).

A yarn may include at least one filament formed from a polymer composition comprising: a polymer at an amount ranging from 95 wt % to 99.99 wt %; a carbon-based nanomaterial at an amount ranging from 0.01 wt % to 5 wt %. A method may include melt spinning a polymer composition to produce a yarn, where the polymer composition includes a polymer at an amount ranging from 95 wt % to 99.99 wt %; a carbon-based nanomaterial at an amount ranging from 0.01 wt % to 5 wt %.

The invention provides a flame retardant material comprising a substrate, an optionally corona-treated coating on the substrate, the coating comprising a polyolefin composition comprising a) an ethylene based plastomer with a density in the range of 0.857 to 0.915 g/cm.sup.3 and an MFR.sub.2 in the range 0.5-30 g/10 min; b) a propylene based plastomer with a density in the range of 0.860 to 0.910 g/cm.sup.3 and an MFR.sub.2 in the range 0.01-30 g/10 min; and c) a flame retardant, a primer layer on top of the coating and a lacquer topcoat.

This system is directed to a computerized system for development of textiles with modified physical properties through stitching and can include a set of non-transitory computer readable instructions configured for: receiving a design pattern representing desired physical properties of a textile having a higher stiffness area and a lower stiffness area; developing a contiguous stitching pattern constrained by a pattern perimeter boundary and having a continuous stitching path, developing a first stiffness area within the contiguous stitching pattern having a first area of density, developing a second stiffness area within the contiguous stitching pattern having a second area of density wherein the first area of density has more stitch density than the second area of density, and transmitting the contiguous stitching pattern to an embroidery machine configured to provide a textile having the contiguous stitching pattern incorporating into the textile.

A warp-knitted capacitive touch sensor system includes conductive and non-conductive yarns using interlooped stitches that are interlaced, intertwined, and/or spliced into a single conductive pathway having only two connection points to the electronic interface device, across a desired width or length of the textile material.

A woven textile includes, in at least one of the warp or weft directions, non-flocked yarns and flocked yarns. The flocked yarns include a support yarn having a core covered with an adhesive layer. The support yarn has a base diameter. Protruding filaments provide the flocked yarns with an apparent diameter. The non-flocked yarns have a diameter which is smaller than the apparent diameter and larger than the base diameter of the flocked yarns.

A recyclable cooling fabric is provided. The recyclable cooling fabric includes a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first surface and the second surface include a plurality of face yarns. The plurality of face yarns includes polyethylene, nylon, and recycled polyester. A plurality of inlay yarns is disposed between the first surface and the second surface. Methods of manufacturing the recyclable cooling fabric, and mattresses utilizing the recyclable cooling fabric as mattress ticking are also provided.

A knitted spacer fabric has a first warp-knitted layer having wales running in a production direction and rows of stitches extending in a transverse direction, a second warp-knitted layer also having wales running in a production direction and rows of stitches extending in a transverse direction. Spacer yarns connect the knitted layers, and at least one of the knitted layers are composed of nonconductive yarns and conductive yarns. The conductive yarns are incorporated into the one knitted layer in some areas in a functional region extending in a production direction and resting on the respective knitted layer in a connection region that extends over a plurality of rows of stitches as a float stitch.

Fabric for a modular chair suitable for defining a surface in use and for supporting a user when seated on the chair, and a perimeter area defined by edges of the surface. The fabric includes, at the surface, a periodic weave, the base of which includes at least one main filament, inside of which at least one secondary filament is also inserted, arranged in a weft along a predetermined trajectory. The main filament and the secondary filament are mutually and tightly attached at the perimeter area. The fabric includes at least one spool defining a long element trapped inside part of the fabric along the perimeter area wherein the weaving of the main filament creates a tubular shape suitable for housing the spool, and the secondary filament at least partially wraps the spool to mutually block the main filament and the secondary filament at the spool.
