A cut, slash and/or abrasion resistant shaped knit garment having both high cut resistance and preferably light fabric weight, a cut resistance of at least 1500 (as measured by ASTM-F1790-2005) and preferably a fabric weight of no more than 27.9 ounces/square yard (OPSY).

Cut, slash and/or abrasion resistant protective fabric and lightweight shaped knit garment made therefrom

A cut, slash and/or abrasion resistant fabric is provided having both high cut resistance and light fabric weight, preferably a cut resistance of at least 500 (as measured by ASTM-F1790-04) and a fabric weight of no more than 27.9 ounces/square yard (OPSY), which can be prepared, if desired, by shaped knitting into a shaped fabric panel, which is used to prepare cut, slash and/or abrasion resistant garments or coverings.

Cut, slash and/or abrasion resistant protective fabric and lightweight protective garment made therefrom

The present invention relates to a cut and/or abrasion resistant garment that is lightweight, has improved comfort, flexibility and pliability, and is particularly suitable for use as hosiery products such as stockings, pantyhose and tights, or for protective coverings for the arms of the wearer.

Lightweight, cut and/or abrasion resistant garments, and related protective wear

A modular protective garment includes first and second protective components. The first protective component is configured to protect a portion of a body of a wearer of the garment. The first protective component includes a fabric made from a composite material, the fabric permitting air and water vapor to flow therethrough and being light-weight. The second protective component is also configured to protect a portion of the body of the wearer. A connector releasably attaches the first and second components.

Modular cut and abrasion resistant protective garment and protective garment system

A process for providing antimicrobial properties to a composite item, such as a composite yarn, composite fabric or composite article, is provided involving the steps of immersing the composite item in a aqueous bath containing an organic antimicrobial agent, separating the immersed composite item from the bath and drying the separated composite item, and the antimicrobial composite items provided therefrom.

Method for providing antimicrobial composite yarns, composite fabrics and articles made therefrom

A blended yarn is provided having at least one component fiber type being made of stretch broken fibers, preferably of a stretch broken high performance fiber, along with multi-end yarns containing the blended yarn, composite yarns having at least one component being the blended yarn, and articles made from the blended, multi-end or composite yarn.

High performance fiber blend and products made therefrom

A combined yarn is provided containing a metallic strand and a non-metallic strand, wherein the metallic and non-metallic strands are combined by air interlacing the filaments or fibers of the non-metallic strand at intermittent points along their length, so that the metallic strand is encased in the non-metallic strand at least at some of the intermittent points; a composite yarn incorporating the combined yarn as at least one component, and articles and/or garments made from the combined yarn or composite yarn, and methods for the production of the combined and composite yarns.

Multi-component yarn, method of making and method of using the same

A composite heat resistant sewing thread comprising a core form of at least one strand of a yarn having an elongation, at least one bottom cover wrapped around the core in a first direction at a rate sufficient to provide substantially complete coverage of the core, at least one outer cover wrapped around the at least one bottom cover, at least one bonding agent, and a lubricant.

Fire-resistant sewing yarn and the products made therefrom

A lightweight composite cut-resistant yarn having a core that includes at least one fiberglass strand and at least one wire strand, a sheath strand of high performance yarn wrapped around the core, and at least one non-metallic, non-high performance cover strand wrapped around the core and core sheath.

Lightweight composite yarn

A cut-resistant combined yarn is described that includes a wire component. Kinking and knotting of the wire component resulting from stretching of the wire component during knitting is avoided by encasing the wire component within a cut resistant combined yarn that has a higher stretch resistance than the wire component. The combined yarn includes at least one strand of stainless steel, at first non-metallic strand of an inherently cut-resistant material, and a second non-metallic strand of a cut resistant material, a non-cut resistant material or fiberglass. The non-metallic strands are air interlaced with each other to form intermittent attachment areas along the lengths of the strands. At least one or the other of the strands is a multi-filament strand. During air interlacing operation, the two non-metallic strands encase the stainless steel strand in the non-metallic strands at least in some of the zones. A composite yarn may be formed by wrapping at least one cover strand wrapped about the combined yarn in a first direction. A second cover strand may be wrapped about the combined yarn in a second direction opposite the first direction.

Multi-component yarn and method of making the same

A knit article having an edge portion subject to raveling including a plurality of knitting courses in said edge portion. Each of the edge portion knitting courses is knitted with at least one strand of a heat fusible yarn, the heat fusible yarn including: i. at least one low melt fiber strand; and ii. at least one additional strand. The low melt fiber strand and the other strand are combined by air interlacing to create a single combined strand and to expose a sufficient amount of the one low melt fiber strand to facilitate a bond to an adjacent yarn strand.

Knit article having ravel-resistant edge portion and composite yarn for making ravel-resistant knit article

A composite cut-resistant yarn having a fiberglass and wire component a fiberglass core strand having a denier of between about 100 and about 1200 at least a first wire strand wrapped the fiberglass core strand in a first wire strand direction and at least a first non-metallic non-high performance fiber cover strand wrapped around the first wire strand in a first cover strand direction. The yarn does not include high performance constituents, yet is comparable in cut-resistance characteristics.

Wire wrapped composite yarn

A non-metallic multipart yarn component for use in combination with other yarn strands to make a cut resistant composite yarn. The multipart yarn component includes at least one non-metallic strand comprised of an inherently cut-resistant material and at least one non-metallic strand comprised of a non-cut resistant material. The two strands are air interlaced with each other so as to form attachment points intermittently along the lengths of the strands. At least one or the other of the strands is a multi filament strand. The invention may further include at least one cover strand wrapped about the air interlaced cut resistant and non-cut resistant strands in a first direction. A second cover strand may be provided wrapped about the first cover strand in a second direction opposite that of the first cover strand.
