Abstract

Abstract Team lattice fibers are disclosed. These fibers consists of two or more axial members connected by transverse bridges. The bridges may be separate components or may be formed by undulations in a linear member joined to one or more other members at points of contact or intersection. The purpose of the present invention is to separate the variables of fiber characteristics between the components of the fiber of the present invention. Another purpose of the invention is to produce fibers commanding exceptionally large bulk. A further purpose of the invention is to obtain control of the structure of the virtual space of the fiber and fabrics formed from the fiber. Another purpose of the present invention is to utilize textile wastes such as fiber fines by incorporating these into the engineered fibers of the present invention. A further object of the invention is to produce fibers with controlled stiffness.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 90 words
A composite textile filament comprising at least two synthetic or natural textile filaments selected from the group consisting of polyesters, polyamides, polyimides, rayon, acetate, rayon triacetate, cellulose, acrylics, polyolefins, polyvinyl derivatives, protein-based polymers, glass, cotton, flax, ramie, wool and animal hair extending side by side in the axial direction, said filaments being joined by a series of individual transverse textile fibers selected from the group consisting of textile fines, cotton linters and silk rod which join said filaments extending side by side in the axial direction into said composite filament.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 90 words
A composite textile filament comprising at least two synthetic or natural textile filaments selected from the group consisting of polyesters, polyamides, polyimides, rayon, acetate, rayon triacetate, cellulose, acrylics, polyolefins, polyvinyl derivatives, protein-based polymers, glass, cotton, flax, ramie, wool and animal hair extending side by side in the axial direction, said filaments being joined by a series of individual transverse textile fibers selected from the group consisting of textile fines, cotton linters and silk rod which join said filaments extending side by side in the axial direction into said composite filament.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 13 words
A composite textile filament according to claim 1 which is of indefinite length.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 46 words
A composite textile filament according to claim 1 comprising at least three of said synthetic or natural textile filaments extending side by side in the axial direction, said filaments being joined together by series of said individual transverse textile fibers in a three-dimensional non-planar geometrical arrangement.
