Title: Susumu Tomioka: Innovator in Non-Woven Fabric Technology

Introduction

Susumu Tomioka is a prominent inventor based in Shiga, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of non-woven fabric technology, holding a total of 8 patents. His innovative work focuses on enhancing the properties and production processes of non-woven fabrics.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is for a reinforced non-woven fabric. This invention provides a reinforced non-woven fabric comprising a web that contains at least 15% by weight of composite fiber. The composite fiber is composed of a low-melting component and a high-melting component, with the low-melting component forming part of the external fiber surface. The fabric features first reinforcing fibers arranged obliquely to the lengthwise direction of the web, and second reinforcing fibers that cross with the first for a symmetric arrangement. These fibers are bonded through heat fusion, creating a diamond pattern embedded in the non-woven fabric.

Another notable patent is a process for producing a non-woven fabric of hot-melt-adhered composite fibers. This process aims to create a high-strength, lightweight fabric with a soft feel. It involves forming a web of fiber aggregates consisting of sheath and core type composite fibers and heat-treating the web at specific temperatures to stabilize its form through hot-melt adhesion.
