A garment that includes one or more grip elements is disclosed. The grip elements, as disposed on a garment, may enable enhanced frictional forces between the garment and an object, such as exercise equipment, with which the garment may make contact. The grip elements may be composite structures disposed on one or more surfaces of the garment and may include an elastomeric and/or rubbery material with grit materials, such as sand, alumina, silicon carbide, or the like, embedded therein. The grit material may be at least partially exposed at the surface of the grip elements and may enhance gripping forces when the grip elements are wet, such as with sweat, compared to grip elements formed by only elastomeric materials. Grip elements may be formed on various portions of a garment separately and then those portions may be attached to each other to form the garment with grip elements.

The invention involves the technical field of daily necessities, and in particular, relates to an easy-to-clean waterproof and breathable bib fabric, a preparation method, and a bib. A layer structure of the bib fabric is as follows: a hydrophobic and oleophobic surface layer, a polyurethane waterproof layer, an antibacterial and antistatic layer, and a woven layer. The hydrophobic and oleophobic surface layer has waterproof and breathable properties, is not easy to be adhered to by dirt, and is easy to clean. The polyurethane waterproof layer keeps liquids from penetrating the fabric, and the porous structure also allows for breathability. The antibacterial and antistatic layer can remove the static electricity generated by the fabric, protect the polyurethane waterproof layer from being decomposed by molds, inhibit the growth of bacteria inside the woven layer, and produce antibacterial and deodorizing effects. Further, a bib using the fabric and a preparation method are provided.

A system, method, and foot cover for preventing slippage. The foot cover includes a stretchable lattice configured to be worn over a foot of a user. The stretchable lattice defines a plurality of openings providing ventilation to the foot of the user. A first end of the stretchable lattice encloses toes of the foot of the user. An opening of the stretchable lattice defines an opening for receiving the foot of the user.

A mount for a device configured to monitor the movements or other activities of patient. Aspects include a monitoring unit and base, where the base may further include a pad with one or more pins extending into the base. The pad may be positioned inside a garment worn by a patient, the pins passing through the garment and electrically connecting to circuits in the fabric of the garment (e.g. a sock worn by the patient). The circuits may include sensors which are response to changes in pressure caused by patient movement. Output from the sensors may be carried by the circuits in the garment to the pins in the pad, and from there through the garment and into the base and the monitoring unit for processing and reporting to caregivers as needed.

An interwoven material. More particularly, the interwoven material includes a first fabric and a second fabric. The first and second fabric are interwoven. The interwoven material includes a first column of interwoven material, a second column of interwoven material, and a third column of interwoven material. Also, there is a first row of interwoven material, a second row of interwoven material, and a third row of interwoven material. The second fabric is under the first fabric in the first row in the first columns; and the second fabric is over the first fabric in the first row in the second column.

A waterproof sock cover apparatus for keeping feet warm and dry in any boot includes a sock body having a foot portion and a cuff portion. The foot portion is configured to receive a user's foot wearing a standard sock and the cuff portion is configured to extend above the standard sock and below a user's knee. The sock body comprises a breathable and soft inner layer, an insulating medial layer continuously disposed around the inner layer, and a waterproof outer layer continuously disposed around the medial layer. A sole is coupled to a bottom side of the foot portion. An elastic band is coupled to the sock body within an upper perimeter of the cuff portion. The elastic band and the surrounding sock body define an elasticized collar configured to secure a user's leg. The sock body is configured to be worn within a boot.

Disclosed is underwear with the function of preventing the garment from shifting, the underwear having a waist opening, two leg openings, a crotch, and a waist ring belt adjacent the waist opening. The main feature is that the waist ring belt includes first and second belt parts, and a pre-fold line between the first and second belt parts, so that the first belt part can be selectively folded and abutted against the outside of the second belt part. The outside of at least one of the belt parts has a frictional anti-slip component. Due to the different folding states of the first belt part, the frictional anti-slip component can be formed in a hidden or exposed state. In the exposed state, the anti-slip component abuts against the garment at the outside of the waist ring belt. In this state, the frictional anti-slip component produces friction to prevent shifting.

Aspects herein are directed to an upper-body garment having a collar construction formed from a back collar panel and at least one front collar panel, where each of the back collar panel at the front collar panel comprise terminal ends. The terminal ends of the front collar panel and the back collar panel are in an overlapping relationship at a first side and a second side of a neck opening of the upper-body garment. The terminal ends of the front collar panel are detached from the terminal ends of the back collar panel to provide enhanced stretch at the lateral sides of the neck opening when donning and doffing the upper-body garment.

The present disclosure provides articles of manufacture with improved moisture control as well as methods of making such articles. In some embodiments, provided herein the article has a fabric with an outer hydrophobic surface and an inner surface with hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions where the hydrophilic regions can form a pattern, allowing moisture to collect and move through the pattern, and the hydrophobic regions prevent the whole inner surface from becoming moist and the outer hydrophobic regions does not show moisture. The fabric may be used to make garments. The entire inner surface of the garment may be patterned with hydrophilic patterns for partial absorption, and the entire outer surface of the garment is hydrophobic, thereby preventing perspiration from being seen from outside of the garment. Further provided herein are methods of making fabrics with improved moisture control including by printing or knitting.

Disclosed is a one-time wearable brassier for supporting and lifting sagging breast. The one-time wearable brassier includes a first layer, an adhesive layer and a removable second layer. The adhesive layer comprising adhesives adheres the first layer to the breast. The removable second layer covers the adhesive layer. The removable second layer protects the adhesive from dying until the user is ready to apply the first layer along with the adhesive layer to the breast. The first layer is having a pear shaped stretchable woven fabric. The first layer is having a curvy top end, a flat base, a central portion to cover the breast, a curved left bottom edge, a curved right bottom edge, a tapered left side extending from the curved left bottom edge up to the curvy top end, and a right side extending from the curved right bottom edge up to the curvy top end. The length of flat base is greater than the curvy top end. A user lifts the sagging breast to paste the curved left bottom edge beneath left edge of the breast and further pastes the curved right bottom edge beneath right edge of the breast. Further, the user pastes the central portion of the first layer up to center of the breast and then the user stretches the curvy top end of the first layer up to chest such that the central portion covers the breast while maintaining firmness of the breast in upright position.
