A method for producing a luggage compartment covering for vehicles may provide for a textile fabric having at least one two-component yarn having a first component and a second component. The method may also provide for thermally treating the fabric such that the first component of the two-component yarn at least partially melts while the second component remains in a solid state of aggregation. A luggage compartment covering for vehicles made by the method is also provided.

The invention lies in the technical field of the textile industry and relates to a textile carrier material for adhesive tapes having a formed tear-off edge, which can be used in the automotive industry for wrapping cable sets, elongate material and lines. The problem addressed by the invention is to provide a textile carrier material for adhesive tapes having improved longitudinal strength while having improved manual tearability and stitch run stop. The problem is solved by a textile carrier material which has at least one areal region with longitudinal strength and a transverse tear-off region in the form of a tear-off edge, wherein the areal region with longitudinal strength has longitudinal stitches, produced by means of pillar stitching, of one or more consolidation threads, and wherein the transverse tear-off region has been formed at least by one or more consolidation threads formed with at least one lateral offset stitch, which are arranged at an angle of 1° to 90° to the consolidation threads arranged in a longitudinally oriented manner.

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 %.

There is provided a skin member having an improved appearance in a state of being attached to a base material. Skin member 12 includes a plurality of base fabrics 18, primary sewing section 20 which joins terminal portions of base fabric 18 and at least a part of which is disposed in a curved shape, secondary sewing section 22 which joins sewing region 21 of the terminal portion of each of base fabrics 18 by primary sewing section 20 to a surface of each of base fabrics 18 on a base material side, and pinking section 25 which is cut out in a zigzag shape on an end edge of sewing region 21 of base fabric 18 having a large curvature of primary sewing section 20, among the base fabrics. In pinking section 25, at least zigzag tip portions 25a and 25b are formed in an arc shape.

A self-wrapping protective textile sleeve and method of construction is provided. The sleeve includes a braided, tubular wall having opposite free edges extending lengthwise between opposite ends. The wall has a first state with a decreased length, increased cross-sectional area and a second state with an increased length, decreased cross-sectional area, as viewed in cross-section taken generally transversely to a central longitudinal axis. The wall further includes braided, heat-set yarns imparting a bias on the wall, wherein the bias causes the wall to self-wrap into a tubular configuration and to remain substantially in the first and second states absent some externally applied force.

A fabric made of interwoven twines, wherein, in each case, two yarns are twisted together to form a twine and at least one of the yarns contains polyester staple fibers and cellulosic staple fibers of the types lyocell, viscose and/or modal, the share of cellulosic staple fibers in the fabric ranging from 10% by weight to 90% by weight. The fabric according to the invention is characterized in that the fabric or, respectively, those of the yarns contained therein which contain polyester staple fibers and cellulosic staple fibers as well as the twines produced therefrom comply with two relationships from which the suitability of the fabric for applications in automobiles, particularly in automobile seats, results.

A surface skin with which a foamed body is integrally foam-molded and which covers the foamed body includes: a plurality of surface skin members; a first thread passing through at least a part of a needle hole extended through the surface skin members so as to sew the surface skin members together; and a second thread inter-looping or interlacing with the first thread so as to sew the surface skin members together in cooperation with the first thread. The first thread is threaded through an eye of a needle. The second thread is formed by warp weaving or braiding polyester or nylon fiber pieces and is stretchable enough to fill in the needle hole.

The present invention provides a sheet structure comprising a carrier layer and a foamed cover layer which contains polyvinyl chloride, lignocellulosic based components and hollow microspheres, and a method for producing the sheet structure. The sheet structure can be used as an artificial leather, e.g. for flexible automotive interiors.

Disclosed are a polyester hollow fiber with excellent sound absorption and a method of manufacturing the same. The polyester hollow fiber may have a hollow ratio of about 27% to 35% compared to the cross-sectional area, and the value of the following equation (1) may be about 1.5 or greater, and the hollow in the cross-section preferably may be a three-lobed type and preferably may correspond to the following equation (1).

[00001]$\begin{array}{cc}\frac{P}{\sqrt{4\Pi A}}& \left(1\right)\end{array}$

In the above equation (1), A is the cross-sectional area (μm.sup.2) of the fiber, and P is the length (μm) around the cross-section of the fiber.

A protective textile sleeve and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes a circumferentially continuous wall extending lengthwise along a longitudinal axis between opposite ends. The wall has a first section formed from a non-heat-shrinkable, non-elastic yarn and a second section formed from one of a heat-shrinkable or elastic yarn. The first section extends lengthwise between the opposite ends and spans (X) degrees about the circumference of the wall between opposite lengthwise extending edges while in an unshrunken or stretch. The second section extends lengthwise between the opposite ends and spans (360-X) degrees about the circumference of the wall. The heat-shrikable or elastic yarn of the second section extends continuously as an uninterupted yarn between the opposite edges of the first section.
