A three-dimensional interlayer composite carpet that can be washed without deformation is provided in the present invention, which includes a surface layer, a three-dimensional interlayer, and an anti-slip layer. The three-dimensional interlayer is composed of an upper knitted fabric layer, a lower knitted fabric layer, and a composite filament connecting layer arranged vertically in the middle and connecting the upper layer and the lower layer. The three-dimensional interlayer composite carpet adopting a composite filament connecting structure of the present invention has strong supporting force and high extensibility, and can be repeatedly folded for more than 1000 times. The washing shrinkage of 10 washings does not exceed 2%, and the composite carpet will not be deformed under long-term squeezing, heat, and moisture.

A method for producing a knitted fabric part which is knitted from at least one thread and which in one or a plurality of regions on the knitted fabric external side and/or the knitted fabric internal side is equipped with a coating, wherein, for configuring the coating, a material comprising free-flowing particles is applied in the region to the knitted fabric, said material subsequently being melted or fused by heating, whereupon the material is cooled while forming the coating.

An insulating garment for use as thermal and moist repellent barrier in a firefighter bunker gear is disclosed, the garment being adapted to be worn by a firefighter under a bunker gear. The garment being made from a fire-resistant insulating fabric comprising: a first woven or knitted fire-resistant fabric layer; a second woven or knitted fire-resistant fabric layer; and at least one monofilament yarn interconnecting the first and second layers, thereby creating an insulating space between the layers. Each monofilament yarn is made of a material having a compressive strength from about 0.5 to about 2.5 cN.Math.cm/cm.sup.2 and a resilience superiors or equals to about 25% to maintain the insulating space between the layers and therefore thermal and moist insulation. Preferably, the material further has a high melting point and/or high transition temperatures. The material of the monofilament yarn may comprise polyphenylene sulphide (PPS), polyetheretherketone (PEEK) or Polyetherimide (ULTEM™).

The present invention relates to a prosthetic fabric (5) comprising an arrangement (2) of yarns that define at least first and second opposite faces (2a, 2b) for said fabric, said fabric comprising on at least said first face, one or more barbs (3) that protrude outwards relative to said first face, said fabric being covered, at least partly, on said second face with a microporous layer made of a bioresorbable material, said barbs being covered with a coating made of a water-soluble material. The invention also relates to a process for obtaining such a fabric and to prostheses obtained from such a fabric.

A knitted semi-finished product for manufacturing stockings, footwear and gloves, comprises: a main waterproofed portion configured to contain a user's foot or hand. The main waterproofed portion comprises an outer knitted portion and an inner waterproofing portion configured to prevent the passage of liquids from the outside to the inside of the semi-finished product. An auxiliary knitted portion is connected to the outer portion and delimits an opening configured to receive the user's foot or hand. A ring-shaped portion belonging to the auxiliary knitted portion and directly connected to the outer knitted portion has a lower hydrophilic characteristic than a hydrophilic characteristic of the outer knitted portion, so as to stop or at least slow down the capillarity rise of the water absorbed by the outer knitted portion.

An article of footwear may have a knitted component with an overfoot portion and an underfoot portion. At least one sole structure may be secured to the underfoot portion of the knitted component. A first surface of the underfoot portion, facing away from the at least one sole structure, may be formed as a first knit layer of the knitted component. A second layer of the knitted component, located between the first knit layer and the sole structure, may include a first thermoplastic material having a first melting temperature. A third layer, located between the second layer and the sole structure, may include a second thermoplastic material having a second melting temperature, where the second thermoplastic material is different than the first thermoplastic material. A transition region may be located between the second layer and the third layer.

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.

A cover material for a vehicle seat provides favorable touch while utilizing the texture of a leather material. A cover material for a vehicle seat includes: a leather portion made of natural leather or artificial leather; and a mesh fabric portion bonded to the back side of the leather portion.

A fabric made of yarns interlooping with each other or passing through an inner layer at looping intervals. The fabric is embossed with a micro-pattern extending into the yarns or into a layer underneath the fabric. The micro-pattern contains a pre-defined pattern of a plurality of binding points attaching the yarns to the inner layer or to the added underlayer. This micro-pattern has an inter-point spacing between adjacent binding points that is less than the interlooping intervals. The fabric can also be embossed with a macro-pattern separate from and coarser than the micro-pattern. The macro-pattern establishes a desired aesthetic in the fabric, and the micro-pattern does not interfere with the desired aesthetic.
