A textile device for measuring the electrophysiological activity of a subject including at least one element for measuring the electrophysiological activity of the subject and a textile structure made by knitting including at least two conducting rows separated by a plurality of insulating rows; in which the at least one element for measuring of the electrophysiological activity the subject is connected to the surface of the textile structure intended to be in contact with the skin of the subject.

A cut resistant fabric and a method of manufacturing a cut resistant fiber is disclosed herein. The fabric comprises a Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) material and a sheet shaped wollastonite filler. The sheet shaped wollastonite filler is treated with a coupling agent and mixed with the UHMWPE material. A thickness of the sheet shaped wollastonite filler is less than 10 micrometers (m). The method comprises providing the sheet shaped wollastonite filler having a thickness of less than 10 m and treating the sheet shaped wollastonite filler with a coupling agent at a first predefined temperature to obtain a uniform solution. The method further comprises mixing the uniform solution with a fiber solution comprising UHMWPE resin at a second predefined temperature.

Embodiments of fiber surface finish enhanced flocked surface impact force absorbing structure include a plurality of flock fibers disposed on a substrate, a surface coating applied to the plurality of flock fibers, and in another embodiment, a divider fabric bonded to the tops of flock fibers.

A garment may include a first woven component, a second woven component, a space between the first and second woven components defining a channel filled with a fill material, and a third woven component extending such that the first and second woven components are woven together where there is no channel. The channel may be filled with a filler material. Multiple channels may be provided such that they form a zoned pattern in the garment.

A baseball cap with knitted and air permeable seamless crown formed as a one whole piece, having the crown and a peak; the crown has a dome shape, and is knitted by blended use of polyester yarn and shaping filaments; two sides of an interior side of the crown are each provided with several partial binding off regions; a circular sweatband is provided near a lower edge of an inner wall of the interior side of the crown.

A braided article of headgear and a hat form are disclosed. In one embodiment, the hat form has a double crown portion and a double bill portion. The braided article comprises a braided construction with at least one strand that extends continuously from a right portion of the crown to a left portion of the crown. The braided article may include a single layer or a double layer construction comprising an inner braid layer and an outer braid layer.

A wearable hat/head garment which can be made up of many braided facets of materials. The process of the flip action, braided materials are stitched together in a circular direction at or to the degrees of 0 to 90 degree angles. The 45-degree angle produces a roll motion, which allows the braids to change the position in which they are. To include the design has an opening at the top and bottom, which give an automatic versatility in styles once flipped upside down and inside out. These hats are created in array of colors and not limited to future colors, fabrics and trims. The hat/head garment collapses into a flat position for storage.

The present invention generally relates to the production of knitted caps that are lightweight and breathable. Generally, the manufacturing process for producing the knitted caps involves: (1) applying a continuous wax coating onto a polyester yarn; (2) twisting the yarn with one or more additional yarns to produce a twisted yarn; (3) knitting the twisted yarn into a knitted article; (4) sewing the knitted article into a headwear body; and (5) finishing the headwear body to form the headwear article. The resulting headwear articles can be in the form of caps that exhibit superior breathability and moisture wicking capabilities.

A neck gaiter comprising a knit body having a densely knit portion, a loosely knit portion, and a seamless transition from the densely knit portion to the loosely knit portion. A method of manufacturing a neck gaiter that includes knitting a knit body having a densely knit portion that seamlessly transitions into a loosely knit portion to form a breathable region.

Nonwoven fabrics having liquid barrier properties are provided. The nonwoven fabrics may include one or more nonwoven layers, in which one or more of the nonwoven layers may include a liquid-barrier-enhancing-additive (LBEA) comprising an amide. The nonwoven fabrics may be suitable for use in a wide variety of liquid barrier applications, including facemasks, surgical gowns, surgical drapes, lab coats, and barrier components of absorbent articles (e.g., barrier leg cuffs).
