This
week I will focus on issued patents.
Below is a summary of selected patents that have been recently issued in
textile related classification codes:
Micro-optic security device:
A
micro-optic security device that employs one or more planar arrangements of
stitched icons and that projects at any given viewing angle one or more
synthetically magnified images. The synthetically magnified image constitutes
either a single or multipart images that optionally changes to a different
images as the security device is tilted, or as the viewing angle changes. Patent:
8739711. Inventor:
Cote. Assignee: Crane Security Technology, Inc.
Method for operating a chain stitch sewing machine and chain
stitch sewing machine: A chain stitch sewing
machine with a pair of sewing members comprising a needle which pierces a
sewing material and a gripper below the sewing material rest which can be moved
along a movement path, where an upper thread is guided with the needle through
the sewing material resting on the sewing material rest, which is linked to a
lower thread. Patent: 8739714. Inventor:
Klapp. Assignee: Nahmaschinenfabrik Emil Stutznacker Gmbh &
Co. Kg
Dyeing agent and use for same:
A
dyeing agent comprising a modified enzyme obtained by adding positive charge
(through an amine) to an enzyme selected from the group consisting of an
oxidase enzyme including: EC 1.10.3.1,
EC 1.10.3.2, EC 1.3.3.5, EC 1.10.3.4, EC 1.10.3.3, and EC 1.14.18.1. Enzymes
functions can be found here. A process for dyeing using the dyeing agent
is also provided. Patent: 8740994. Inventor:
Hirose and Sato. Assignee: Amano Enzyme Inc.
Optical brighteners and compositions comprising the same: Compounds which are suitable for use as
optical brighteners. In particular, the invention provides novel compounds that
are derivatives of 4,4′-diaminostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid or
4,4′-diaminostilbene-2,2′-dicarboxylic acid.
Patent: 8740997. Inventor: Mahaffey, et.al. Assignee:
Milliken & Company.
Garment with non-penetrating touch-sensitive features: A glove that has conductive members that
enable the wearer to interact with an electronic device having a
capacitive-type touch-sensing interface.
Patent: 8739315. Inventor:
Baacke. Assignee: JMI Sportswear PTE, Ltd.
Method for reduced encrustation of textiles using a polymer
comprising maleic acid, vinyl acetate, and alkyl acrylate: A laundry detergent composition including an
alkalinity source, at least one nonionic surfactant and a polymer comprising
maleic acid, vinyl acetate and alkyl acrylate monomers. The alkalinity source
is present in an amount between about 1% and about 75% by weight of the laundry
detergent composition and includes at least one member selected from alkali
metal hydroxides, carbonates, and bicarbonates. The polymer comprising maleic acid,
vinyl acetate and alkyl acrylate monomers is present in an amount equal to or
greater than about 0.5% by weight of the laundry detergent composition. Patent:
8740993. Inventor:
Christensen, et.al.
Assignee: Ecolab USA, Inc.
Sublimation embroidery: A colored embroidered
pattern is formed on a fabric by positioning a stabilizer prior to the
embroidery process on the top surface of the fabric. The stabilizer extends
beyond at least a portion of the embroidered pattern such that it blocks
sublimating dyes from binding to the fabric during the sublimation
process. Patent: 8739715. Inventor:
Cohen. Not assigned.
Afterclearing agents: A composition
comprising: 1) a polymer of an
ethylenically un-saturated nitrogen linked to a heterocyclic compound; and, 2)
a polyethyleneimine that is suitable for afterclearing a printed or dyed
textile material including cotton fibres dyed or printed with reactive
dyes. Patent: 8740992. Inventor:
Prozzo, et.al. Assignee: Huntsman International LLC
Apparel with reduced drag coefficient: An athletic garment with a panel designed to reduce frictional
and pressure drag around an appendage of an athlete competing in a high-speed
event, such as running and cycling. The panel is positioned to encircle the
appendage, and is provided with regions having different surface textures. The
leading edge of the panel includes a texture designed to enhance the laminar
boundary layer, while the adjacent portion of the panel includes a texture
intended to trip the boundary layer to turbulent flow. The drag-reducing panel
may be the cuff of a sock, a sleeve, wristband, or headband. Patent:
8745769. Inventor:
Wright, et.al. Assignee: Nike, Inc.
Concealed smartphone pocket:
A concealed safety
pocket in a garment for securely carrying a smart phone. The safety pocket
provides a separate storage place for carrying a smart phone where it can be
found and accessed quickly and can be easily heard and answered. The safety
pocket attaches to a waistband and an open side seam, the closure of the pocket
completing the side seam. Patent: 8745767. Inventor:
Moghaddas. Not Assigned.
Concealed
smartphone pocket:
Split
Sole Footwear: A shoe made with a split sole that allows the
shoe to be folded for packing.
Patent: 8745893. Inventor:
Gavrieli and Gavrieli.
Assignee: Gavrieli Brands LLC.
Wire profile for card clothing:
A wire profile made of
a rib portion and a plurality of teeth. The teeth have a back slope like a
backbone and a front slope in direct contact with fiber. The back slope has a
tangent forming a hack angle with the rib portion, and the front slope is
divided into at least two segments, a tip segment converging with the back
slope serving to penetrate between fibers, and an undercut segment that retains
the fibers. Patent: 8745826. Inventor:
Vangheluwe, et. al. Assignee: Nv Bekaert Sa, Bekaert Carding Solutions Nv
