A welder's garment assembly for protecting a welder from heat and electricity includes a garment that can be worn by a user. The garment is comprised of a pair of insulating layers that are sandwiched between a pair of covering layers. Each of the insulating layers is comprised of an energy absorbing material to protect the user during welding. A respective one of the covering layers is comprised of a resilient material to protect the insulating layers from abrasion. Furthermore, a respective one of the covering layers is comprised of a deformable material for enhancing comfort for wearing the garment.

The invention addresses the problem of providing a cloth and a protective product, which are excellent not only in flame retardancy but also in protection performance against electric arcs, and can further be provided with any color appearance. As a means for resolution, in a cloth including a flame-retardant fiber, a UV absorber or carbon particles are contained in the cloth, and the cloth is configured to have a lightness index L-value of 25 or more.

A garment for measuring biological information equipped with an electrode and wiring, with which noise can be prevented from being mixed in to the biological electric signals to be read, and with which a wearer feels less discomfort, even under dry condition while the garment is worn. Static electrical charge generated while the garment is worn is suppressed to decrease the noise in the biological electric signals to be read by selecting a combination of electrically insulating materials constituting the garment that have smaller gap of frictional electrostatic voltage, as well as using the electrode and wiring that are stretchy and have high conductivity even when being stretched to reduce discomfort while the garment is worn.

A wearable power generation device, wearable clothes capable of generating power, and a power generation method are provided. The wearable power generation device includes at least one magnet unit, at least one electromagnetic induction unit, and at least an energy storage unit electrically connected to the at least one electromagnetic induction unit. The magnet unit and the electromagnetic induction unit are respectively disposed to be worn on different parts of an animal body. During movement of the animal body, the magnetic flux passing through the electromagnetic induction unit is changed to generate an induction current by changing the relative position of the magnet unit and the electromagnetic unit. The energy storage unit is configured to convert the induction current generated by the electromagnetic induction unit into electric energy for storage.

An intimate blend of staple fibers, and a yarn, fabric, and article of clothing providing surprising arc performance and coloration capability, comprising a mixture of a first staple fiber made from a flame resistant polymer that retains at least 90 percent of its weight when heated to 425 degrees Celsius at a rate of 10 degrees per minute and comprises 0.5 to 20 weight percent discrete homogeneously dispersed carbon particles; and either (a) a second staple fiber from a flame resistant polymer being free of discrete carbon particles and having an L* lightness coordinate of 70 or greater and being capable of accepting a dye or coloration, or (b) a second staple fiber blend being free of discrete carbon particles and comprising at least one second staple fiber from a flame resistant polymer and having an L* lightness coordinate of 70 or greater and being capable of accepting a dye or coloration; the mixture having a total content of 0.5 to 3 weight percent discrete carbon particles.

A method for producing a protective glove comprises preheating a dipping mold and fitting a knitted glove onto the dipping mold. The dipping mold with the knitted glove is immersed in a saline solution. The dipping mold with the knitted glove is then removed from the saline solution and dried. The dipping mold with the knitted glove is then immersed into a foamed latex compound with carbon fibers having a diameter between 2 μm to 25 μm. The dipping mold with the knitted glove is then removed from the latex compound and dried. The dipping mold with the knitted glove is then immersed in a water bath and then dried at a temperature between 100° C. to 130° C. before removing the finished glove from the dipping mold.
