This invention relates to a face mask (100, 200, 300) comprising a central area (40), comprising a fabric material (45), an elastic area (20), extending laterally at least partially from the central area (40) and comprising an elastic material (15), and being connected to the central area (40) at an interface section (30). Further, the elastic area (20) comprises an adhesive (11) provided on a bottom surface (12) of the elastic material (15) along at least a portion of a periphery of the face mask (100, 200, 300), forming an adhesive sealing profile (10). A space between the intersection section (30) and the sealing profile (10) comprising the elastic material (15) is an intermediate elastic area (25).

A textile laminate includes a first side, a second side, and a plurality of spaced apart marks formed on the first side. The plurality of marks formed on the first side impart a roughened, uneven surface along the second side that corresponds with the first side, and a surface roughness of the second side varies based upon a degree of stretch applied to the textile laminate.

A glove comprising a glove body suitable to surround a user's hand and fingers, wherein the glove provides a snug, comfortable fit is provided. The gloves of the present disclosure advantageously provide minimized friction upon donning the glove by a user. Methods of making the glove as well as methods of using the glove are also provided.

Aspects herein are directed to a composite nonwoven textile that includes non-linear entangled seams and method and systems for producing the same. The composite nonwoven textile includes at least a first nonwoven layer, a second layer, and a fill material positioned between the first nonwoven layer and the second layer. When the composite nonwoven textile is formed into a garment, the regions between the non-linear entangled seams may help store and retain heat to provide insulation, and the non-linear entangled seams may help prevent shifting or drift of the fill material.

A fashion system including a shaped garment comprising a base material and a removable drape is provided herein. The removable drape may be attached to the base material such that corresponding shapes of the base material and the removable drape cooperate to hold the removable drape in place. The base material may be formed using a geometric cutting technique and the removable drape may be formed using a thermoforming technique to create a complementary drape system.

A garment may be summarized as including: at least one non-toxic elastomeric sheet, at least one non-toxic textile sheet, and stitches that physically couple the non-toxic elastomeric sheet(s) with the non-toxic textile sheet(s). The garment may exclude all metals and toxic materials. The garment may be a foundation garment, for example a brassiere. In a brassiere the non-toxic elastomeric sheet(s) and the non-toxic textile sheet(s) form a front bust portion and a band, the front bust portion which includes at least one panel sized and dimensioned to retain a pair of breasts when the brassiere is worn, and the band which physically couples opposed laterally spaced apart ends of the front bust portion together when the brassiere is worn. The brassiere can have distinct cups, or may not have distinct cups, for instance a sports bra style. The garment can hold, or include, a prosthetic.

Provided are a method of collectively preparing moisture-permeable waterproof clothing and clothing prepared thereby. The method includes a step of cutting a fabric substrate and a film into a plurality of pieces, wherein the plurality of pieces includes at least a first and second group, wherein the first group includes a first substrate and film, and the second group includes a second substrate and film; a step of forming a first laminate by processing the first group; a step of forming a second laminate by processing the second group; a step of forming a seam by connecting the first and second substrate; a step of covering a seam area with the second film and then covering the second film with the first film; and a step of finally laminating the first and the second laminate along with the seam.

A single use disposable glove utilizing the cutting and sealing process. The top and bottom panels of the glove are produced from an extrusion process made from a variety of thermoplastic elastomers containing styrenic block copolymer (SBC). The glove made from this process is form fitting, has less than 20% deformation after 100% stretch for 10 second. The suitable SBC materials are selected from the group consisting of SIS, SBS, SEBS, SEPS, SEEPS, and combinations thereof.

The present invention relates to an electrically heated wearable belt and method for applying heat to a part of a user’s body for reducing fat and weight by facilitating generation of sweat. The belt is flexible, foldable, and insulating and includes a heating element in the form of flexible metal strips that receive electrical power from a rechargeable battery. The battery is positioned inside a pocket of the belt and is coupled to the heating element through a connector. The heating element may provide a uniform heating or differential heating to the skin of the user where the belt is worn. The belt has a fastening mechanism for securing the belt and can be applied to the abdomen, hips, thighs, and more of the user.

A material for reducing exposure to ionizing radiation. One exemplary embodiment comprises a felt layer; a foil layer; a first adhesive film layer disposed between the outer felt layer and the foil layer; a radiation shield layer; a second adhesive film layer disposed between the foil layer and radiation shield layer; and a foam layer disposed on the surface of the radiation shield layer opposite the second adhesive film layer. The material may be installed in commercial aircraft, corporate aircraft, flight suits, helmets, military uniforms, rotary aircraft, spacecraft, and the like. For example, the material disclosed herein may be provided as a headliner in an aircraft, or alternatively may be used to line the entire interior of an aircraft. In one or more embodiments, the material may be secured to a surface using a hook and loop attachment mechanism.
