A knitted component comprises plush loops created with an inlaid yarn. A first surface of the knitted component includes a first yarn formed with a first stitch sequence that includes a quantity of knit stitches and a quantity of missed stitches. The second surface includes a second yarn formed with a second stitch sequence that includes a quantity of tuck stitches and a quantity of missed stitches. A third yarn is inlaid between two needle beds knitting the first and second yarns, and while the third yarn is inlaid, tuck stitches of the second yarn created with the previous pass of the carriage are transferred from one needle bed to another. Loops formed by the third yarn are locked into place by the transferred tuck stitches. The knitted component may be incorporated into an article of footwear. A method of manufacturing the knitted component is also described herein.

A lightweight, breathable, translucent and high-strength upper formed from a half-gauge knit, at least in part from a high tenacity yarn and a fusible yarn, is described. The upper may include a knit heel structure. Methods of manufacture, including exposing the upper to steam while in a tensioned state to at least partially melt the fusible yarn to adjacent yarns is also described. Subsequent cooling of the fusible yarn retains the upper in a stretched condition.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for producing and using a plaited fabric comprising a low-melt yarn for adhering the fabric without a glue adhesive. According to one embodiment, a knitted fabric can comprise a first polymeric yarn of a first material, the first polymeric yarn forming a base of the knitted fabric, and a second polymeric yarn of a second material. The second material can be different from the first material and can have a lower melting temperature than the first material. The first polymeric yarn can be knitted with the second polymeric yarn to form the fabric. Upon an application of heat to the knitted fabric, the second polymeric yarn can form an adhesive and cohesive mechanical attachment to itself and form a tight-knit structural bond within the fabric without the use of a glue adhesive.

Various textile materials and method of manufacturing the same are provide. A method of single layer garment includes providing a single layer of textile material with low melt yarn. The method also includes forming the structure of the single layer of textile 5 material using selective heating to provide material support. The textile material are formed via at least one of a molding machine or a robotic hot air machine.

A warp knit component that includes a first front weft inlaid yarn that extends through one or more loops in a first warp knit course, and after extending through the one or more loops, the first front weft inlaid yarn extends as a float positioned on a technical face or front side of the warp knit component. After extending as the float, the first front weft inlaid yarn extends through one or more loops in a second warp knit course that is offset in the material flow direction from the first warp knit course. Using floats facilitates the advancement of the first front weft inlaid yarn in the material flow direction.

An apparatus for making nonwoven has a spinning device for spinning continuous filaments and moving the spun filaments in a vertical travel direction along a vertical travel path and a mesh belt below the spinning device, traveling in a horizontal direction, and having a multiplicity of vertically throughgoing openings distributed generally uniformly over its surface and of which a portion are plugged. A cooler and a stretcher are provided along the path downstream of the spinning device and above the belt for cooling and stretching the filaments and depositing the cooled and stretched filaments at a predetermined deposition location on the belt. A blower underneath the belt at the deposition location aspirates air through the openings and thereby holds the deposited filaments down on the belt.

A method of producing a component for an article of footwear or apparel or a sporting goods accessory. The method of producing a component includes forming at least a first layer by braiding a first braided tube. Braiding may be performed with an empty braiding center. The method further includes arranging the first layer on a form.

The present invention relates to false eyelashes (1), comprising: a plurality of discrete eyelash fibers (10); and a baseline (20) extending across the plurality of eyelash fibers (10) and linking the plurality of eyelash fibers (10) in parallel or substantially parallel with one another. The baseline (20) is formed of a solidified raw resin (20′). The solidified raw resin (20′) forming the baseline (20) at least partially covers the proximal ends of the plurality of eyelash fibers (10), thereby linking the plurality of eyelash fibers (10) with one another. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such false eyelashes (1) by sandwiching the plurality of eyelash fibers (10) between lower and upper molds (100, 200) and filling a raw resin (20′) of the baseline (20) in a molten state into a narrow passage (300) defined between the lower and upper molds (100, 200).

A thermoplastic polyurethane coated yarn having excellent adhesive strength in which hydrophobic nano-silica is mixed. The nano-silica is contained in the range of 0.2-5 parts per hundred resin (phr) and the nano-silica having a primary particle size of in a range of 1-100 nm. The thermoplastic polyurethane coating yarn mixed with the hydrophobic nano-silica of the present invention is uniformly coated with a thermoplastic polyurethane resin containing nano-silica containing a hydrophobic functional group on the surface of the core yarn, whereby the core yarn is biased to one side. Since no coating or uncoating occurs, the product quality and productivity are excellent, in addition to excellent durability and wear resistance of the thermoplastic polyurethane, mechanical strength and chemical resistance are improved.

The present invention provides a knitted fabric with leather fibers comprising a ground yarn layer and a face yarn layer directly connected with the ground yarn layer through double knitting. The ground yarn layer includes a plurality of first yarn loops, each of the first yarn loops is formed by a plurality of ground yarns. The face yarn layer includes a plurality of second yarn loops, each of the second yarn loops is formed by at least one face yarn attached with the leather fibers obtained from a piece of leather by a pulverization operation. A course ratio of the face yarn layer to the ground yarn layer is in a range between 1:1.25 and 1:4. Accordingly, the invention provides an innovative knitted fabric and solves the problem that the leather cannot be recycled after being discarded.
