A waistband for a garment includes a bandroll having an absorption layer and a wicking layer. The wicking layer controls stretch properties of the absorption layer. The waistband comprises a second material and wherein a shrinkage of a material substrate of the bandroll substantially matches a shrinkage of the second material.

A filtration mask protects the wearer against airborne hazards. The mask is reusable and may be used in a number of configurations. The mask includes filters located to the side and beneath the line of sight of the wearer. The filters may be tailored to the use and type of environmental hazard.

A CPR manikin mock clothing accessory including a front panel, a back panel connected to the front panel and having an anti-slip feature, wherein the mock clothing accessory is constructed such that when it is placed upon a CPR manikin, the front panel at least partially covers a chest surface of the CPR manikin, the back panel at least partially covers a back surface of the CPR manikin, and the anti-slip feature is constructed to engage a surface the CPR manikin is positioned upon and to resist movement of the CPR manikin upon that surface during use.

A piece of smart fabric for recognizing an object or a touch gesture includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer has multiple resistive sensors and multiple capacitive sensors. Each resistive sensor corresponds to each capacitive sensor. Each capacitive sensor includes a first piece of conductive fabric and a second piece of conductive fabric, and each resistive sensor includes a piece of pressure sensing fabric sandwiched between the first piece of conductive fabric and the second piece of conductive fabric of the corresponding capacitive sensor. The second layer has multiple inductive sensors and multiple NFC sensors. Each of the multiple inductive sensors corresponds to each of the NFC sensors. Each inductive sensor and its corresponding NFC sensor share a same coil.

The present invention discloses a rubber strip compression garment fabric and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of compression garment fabrics. The rubber strip compression garment fabric is compounded by an antibacterial and mite-proof elastic fabric and rubber strips. The antibacterial and mite-proof elastic fabric includes the following raw material components in percentage by weight: 75% of nylon fiber, 18% of lycra fiber, 2% of carbon fiber and 5% of antibacterial and mite-proof PET fiber; the antibacterial and mite-proof PET fiber includes the following raw material components in percentage by weight: 1-5% of an antibacterial and mite-proof agent and 95-99% of PET. The rubber strip compression garment fabric provided by the present invention is breathable, quick-drying, moisture-absorbing and sweat-releasing, strong in wear resistance, and antibacterial and mite-proof, and can make limbs flexibly stretch and provide strong supporting pressure.

A garment panel includes a material that is configured to attach to an internal surface of a garment to form the garment panel, and that includes a front surface and a rear surface; and an opening in the material to permit genitalia of a user to be inserted through the opening and remain disposed in a space formed between the internal surface of the garment and the front surface of the material.

A mask insert and mask system for improving breathing during exertion are disclosed. A mask adjunct device allows for better ventilatory airflow to a masked user especially when moisture causes the mask to collapse against the face reducing airflow. The mask adjunct device is insertable under a face mask to provide a rigid structure defining non-collapsible space between the face and the outer mask. The mask adjunct device comprises a sidewall component comprising openings for air flow and a face engaging component for engaging the user's face. An outer wall component rigidly connects the sidewall component opposite the face engaging component to create the non-collapsible space. The system further comprises an outer face mask for positioning over the mask adjunct device.

An arm sleeve with a translucent window includes an arm sleeve garment, a wrist opening, and a translucent panel. The arm sleeve garment includes a hand section, a wrist section, and a forearm section. The hand section is terminally connected to the wrist section. The forearm section is terminally connected to the wrist section, opposite of the hand section. The wrist opening is integrated into the wrist section as the wrist opening can be positioned on a posterior panel of the wrist section, an anterior panel of the wrist section, or around the wrist section. The translucent panel is perimetrically connected to the wrist section about the wrist opening, wherein the translucent panel enables operation of a wrist wearable computing device.

A fog preventing barrier for a respiratory mask is disclosed. The barrier has a flexible elongated infill layer and a mask hanger. The mask hanger is connected to the infill layer to removably connect the infill layer to a mask where the infill layer closes a mask-to-face gap at a top of the mask when worn by a wearer. The barrier may have an adhesive layer attached to the infill layer instead of or in addition to a mask hanger for removably attaching the infill layer across a wearer's nose. The barrier may have a conforming strip connected to the infill layer and bendable to conform to a conforming shape about a nose and cheeks of a wearer to hold the infill layer in the conforming shape.

Embodiments provide methods of disassembling an apparel product. The methods include exposing an adhesive of the apparel product to a composition having an acidic pH. The adhesive is disposed at least partially between a major component and a minor component of the apparel product. The adhesive includes a material having a boronate ester bond. The major component forms a base portion of the apparel product and is configured to be supported and worn at least partially over a portion of a wearer. The minor component forms a secondary portion configured to be coupled to the major component with the adhesive. The methods include separating the major component from the minor component adjoined by the adhesive.
