A laminated acoustic absorption member that includes at least a first fiber layer and a second fiber layer, as well as at least one substrate layer present between the first fiber layer and the second fiber layer, wherein: the first fiber layer has an average flow pore diameter of 0.5-10 μm and a basis weight of 0.1-200 g/m.sup.2; the second fiber layer has an average flow pore diameter of 0.5-10 μm, the average flow pore diameter of the second fiber layer being equal to or less than that of the first fiber layer, and also has a basis weight of 0.1-200 g/m.sup.2; the substrate layer has an air permeability of 40 cc/cm.sup.2.Math.s or greater as measured by the Frazier method, and a basis weight of 1-700 g/m.sup.2; and the first fiber layer and the second fiber layer are disposed on a sound-incidence side and a sound-transmission side, respectively.

An interior material of a vehicle includes: a fabric layer made of a tricoat fabric, a foam layer disposed on a lower surface of the fabric layer, and an antifouling layer disposed at least between an upper surface of the fabric layer or the fabric layer and the foam layer. The tricoat fabric includes a combination of at least one of a polyurethane yarn, a high-elongation polyester yarn, or a polyester yarn.

Provided herein are products, methods, and kits, for use in regulating the temperature of an object. The present invention relates to thermal insulating liners for regulating the temperature of perishable goods or temperature sensitive products. The thermal insulating liners generally may be dimensioned to fit within a container. The thermal insulating liners may be quickly collapsed and reconstructed to improve stackability and diminish the amount of space required to store the thermal insulating liners prior to use.

A method of making a composite elastic laminate is provided where an elastic layer is stretched in the machine-direction and while in a stretched state is fed into a grooved-roll assembly, together with outer facing layers, for imparting simultaneous cross-direction stretching forces to the superposed layers. The bi-directional stretching forces causes the elastic layer to tear and/or rupture allowing the laminate to be bonded in areas where the elastic layer has been displaced. Upon relaxation, a composite elastic laminate is provided having excellent breathability and elastic properties.

An elastic laminate is provided including outer facing layers of a fabric and, located between the outer facing layers, a series of individual, spaced apart strips of elastic film extending continuously along the direction of elasticity. The film strips are formed by a controlled tearing of a continuous film while the film is biaxially stretched and bonded to the fabric facings. The fabric facings have gathers formed therein that allow the elastic laminate to stretch at least to the extent that the gathers can be pulled flat.

A surface covered with a non-transparent light transmissive opaque membrane having an A side facing the surface and a B side facing an open environment. The membrane comprises a top cross-linked polyurethane layer, a foamed polyvinyl chloride (PVC) layer, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) knit fabric layer. A light source and an input means for controlling the light source are disposed between the surface and the membrane. The input means comprising touch sensor switch or capacitive sensor is capable of being operated by touching the B side of the membrane to turn the light source on and off such that the light transmits through the membrane and can be viewed from the open environment.

The present invention relates to a multi-layered elastic air-permeable material structure, including an elastic cloth and an elastic film, wherein the elastic cloth is constituted of polylactic acid, has a plurality of penetrating air vents, and has a weft-direction stretchability. The elastic film is constituted of a thermoplastic elastomer material, and it also has a plurality of penetrating air vents. An upper surface of the elastic film is entirely or partially adhered to a lower surface of the elastic cloth. In particular, the elastic film has an air permeability of 17-25 cc/sec per square centimeter, and the multi-layered elastic air-permeable material structure has an air permeability of 7-10 cc/sec per square centimeter. The present invention has the advantages of weft-direction stretchability and air permeability and is suitable for applying to close-fitting clothing or diapers to improve comfort and prevent sultriness and moisture.

This disclosure relates to a sewing process of a breathable, reusable, and leak-proof garment multilayered-lining having absorbent, antimicrobial, waterproofing, and steam dispersion functions. Such lining aims at preventing body fluids such as sweat, blood, vaginal fluids, menstrual fluid, urine, breast milk, or post-surgical fluids from leaking. Such a lining provides the absorbent, antimicrobial, waterproofing, and steam dispersion functions. The lining may be sewed or adhered to the garment piece including: men's and women's underwear, shorts, short pants, skirts, pants, bras, shirts, T-shirts, jumpsuits, body shapers, dresses, men's and women's nightwear, etc. The sewing process creates channels for the liquid and creates a non-linear U-shaped structure on the lining to prevent leakage from the sides. The disclosed lining also has a reduced number of layers on its sides due to one of its layers being smaller in width than the other layers, making the coating thinner for the wearer.

An adaptive textile that includes a plurality of a first fiber having a first expansion coefficient and a plurality of a second fiber having a second expansion coefficient. There is a difference between the expansion coefficient of the first fiber and the expansion coefficient of the second fiber; at least one of the first or second fibers is a twisted coil actuator; and linear displacement of the twisted coil actuator causes the adaptive textile to bend.
