A fabric woven by imitating warp knitting, which includes first warps, second warps, first wefts, and second wefts; the first warps and the first wefts are interlaced to form the face of the fabric, and the second warps and the second wefts are interlaced to form the back of the fabric; and 7 to 15 weft interlacing points are arranged between each two adjacent groups of warp interlacing points on the second warps. The fabric woven by imitating warp knitting in the present invention has not only the appearance style of woven fabrics but also the characteristics of good air permeability and good hand feel of warp-knitted fabrics.

A multi-layer ballistic woven fabric, including an upper woven layer having upper warp yarns and upper weft yarns that are interwoven together to form the upper woven layer. The multi-layer ballistic woven fabric also includes a lower woven layer having lower warp yarns and lower weft yarns that are interwoven together, and a plurality of securing yarns, each securing yarn interwoven with at least some of the upper yarns and some of the lower yarns so as to secure the upper and lower woven layers together. At least one of the securing yarns is woven underneath a first lower weft yarn, then above a second upper weft yarn adjacent the first lower weft yarn, then underneath a third lower weft yarn adjacent the second upper weft yarn and then above a fourth upper weft yarn adjacent the third lower weft yarn. The multi-layer ballistic woven fabric is formed by interweaving the securing yarns with the warp yarns and weft yarns as the upper woven layer and lower woven layer are made.

The present embodiments provide a woven element having a first plurality of warp threads extending in a first direction and integrated into a first surface on a front side of the woven element. The woven element may have a second plurality of warp threads extending in the first direction, where the second plurality of warp threads is integrated into a second surface on a back side of the woven element. A first weft thread may extend in a second direction, where a first portion of the first weft thread is positioned in front of at least one warp thread of the first plurality of warp threads to form at least a portion of a graphic image on the front surface. A second portion of the first weft thread may extend between the first plurality of warp threads and the second plurality of warp threads.

A woven geotextile fabric utilizes a plurality of yarns including machine direction field yarns, cross machine direction field yarns, machine direction rib yarns, and cross machine direction rib yarns. The plurality of yarns is integrally woven together. The machine direction rib yarns and the cross machine direction rib yarns cooperatively define an integrated geotextile grid integrally within the woven geotextile fabric. The machine direction field yarns and the cross machine direction field yarns cooperatively define fabric areas in a field of the integrated geotextile grid generally between the machine direction rib yarns and the cross machine direction rib yarns.

A component for a vehicle interior is disclosed. The component may comprise an airbag door hinge coupled with an airbag door and a load-bearing component surrounding the door. The airbag door hinge may comprise a fabric layer configured to extend during deployment of an airbag. The fabric layer may comprise a mesh comprising a first segment of yarns and a second segment of yarns. The mesh may comprise a grid comprising multiple first segments and multiple second segments. Density of the first segment of yarns may differ from density of the second segment of yarns. The grid may comprise a first row of first segments spaced from one another by openings and a second row of second segments adjacent one another. The grid may comprise a third row of first segments spaced from one another by openings. The second row may separate the first and third rows.

Sediment-control fences designed to withstand hydrostatic forces associated with elevated backwater against the fence are disclosed. The fences are made of anisotropic fabric having different mechanical properties such as strength and stiffness in the machine direction versus the transverse direction. The anisotropic fabric may include fibrillated yarns in one direction and monofilaments in another direction. The sediment-control fences may be used without the necessity of wire or chain-link backed supports that are conventionally used to resist structural failure due to hydraulic overtopping of the fences.

Provided is a composite material for vehicles capable of substantially preventing the occurrence of wrinkles caused by ease stitching. This composite material for vehicles is a layered product of a skin material and a polyurethane foam sheet. The skin material has a play structure which, when the composite material for vehicles is stitched, allows the skin material to follow deformation caused by the stitching with a smooth state of a surface of the skin material maintained. The skin material is a woven fabric including warp yarns and weft yarns. The warp yarns and/or the weft yarns include two or more types of yarns having different total finenesses, and form the play structure.
