Provided is cloth that is excellent in dust protection and liquid protection with a first outermost layer of a layered nonwoven fabric containing a predetermined amount of an antistatic agent relative to the entire layer, a second outermost layer of the layered nonwoven fabric containing a predetermined amount or less of an antistatic agent relative to the entire layer, where a joint region includes a seam allowance located on the inner side of the cloth and a tape member, and the seam allowance is covered with the tape member, where at least both end portions of the tape member in a short-side direction are fixed to the second outermost layer, and water pressure resistance (A) of the layered nonwoven fabric is in a predetermined range, and a ratio of water pressure resistance (B) of the joint region to the water pressure resistance (A) is in a predetermined range.

A textile layered construction has a textile outer layer, a textile inner layer and an absorbing component, whereby line-shaped connections between the outer layer and the inner layer are designed as a laser welded joint, forming chambers fillable with insulating material between the welded joints. At least one line-shaped welded joint connection includes an interruption separating the line-shaped welded joint connection into two line-shaped welded joint connection parts.

A swimsuit is disclosed herein comprising a bust portion, and a bottom portion including a waist portion configured to surround a torso, with an inner fabric layer including an interior surface and an exterior surface, and an outer fabric layer including an interior surface and an exterior surface, a left leg opening defined by a lower left edge portion, and a right leg opening defined by a lower right edge portion. The lower left edge portion and lower right edge portion are raw cut and are bonded with a bonding layer between the interior surface of the inner layer and the interior surface of the exterior layer. A first positioning strip is formed on the exterior surface of the inner fabric layer along an edge portion of at least one of the bust portion and the bottom portion. Corresponding methods also are disclosed.

A system for automated manufacturing of apparel that includes a fabric dispenser operable to dispense a first web of fabric and a second web of fabric, the first web of fabric forming a front of an apparel and the second web of fabric forming a back of the apparel. The system includes an adhesive dispenser configured to apply discrete non-contiguous adhesive masses to the first web of fabric. The system includes one or more presses operable to join the first web and the second web along the side seams and shoulder seams of the apparel. The system further includes a cutting tool operable to make partial cuts to the first web of fabric along lines corresponding to a neck hole, bottom hem, and arm holes of the apparel located on the first web of fabric, the cutting tool further configured to cut the apparel out of a joined first web and second web of fabric by cutting along the side seams of the first web of fabric and the second web of fabric and cutting the bottom hem, the neck hole, and the arm holes on the second web of fabric.

A swimsuit is disclosed herein comprising a bust portion, and a bottom portion including a waist portion configured to surround a torso, with an inner fabric layer including an interior surface and an exterior surface, and an outer fabric layer including an interior surface and an exterior surface, a left leg opening defined by a lower left edge portion, and a right leg opening defined by a lower right edge portion. The lower left edge portion and lower right edge portion are raw cut and are bonded with a bonding layer between the interior surface of the inner layer and the interior surface of the exterior layer. A first positioning strip is formed on the exterior surface of the inner fabric layer along an edge portion of at least one of the bust portion and the bottom portion. Corresponding methods also are disclosed.

A system for automated manufacturing of apparel that includes a fabric dispenser operable to dispense fabric. The system includes an adhesive dispenser configured to apply discrete non-contiguous adhesive masses to a first portion of the fabric. The discrete non-contiguous adhesive masses are deposited along a trajectory corresponding to seams of a first part of an apparel. The system includes one or more presses operable to join the first part of the apparel and a second part of the apparel along the seams. The system includes an energy source distinct from the one or more presses, wherein the energy source provides energy to cure the discrete non-contiguous adhesive masses. The system further includes a cutting tool operable to make cuts to the fabric along lines corresponding to features of the apparel.

A yarn or thread may include a plurality of substantially aligned filaments, with at least ninety-five percent of a material of the filaments being a thermoplastic polymer material. Various woven textiles and knitted textiles may be formed from the yarn or thread. The woven textiles or knitted textiles may be thermal bonded to other elements to form seams. A strand that is at least partially formed from a thermoplastic polymer material may extend through the seam, and the strand may be thermal bonded at the seam. The woven textiles or knitted textiles may be shaped or molded, incorporated into products, and recycled to form other products.
