Abstract
An article of manufacture for warming human extremities via graduated thermal insulation with a blanket comprised of concentrations of and transitions to and from concentrations of various types of woven thread fabric or non-woven fabric, having various properties of thermal insulation.
Claims13
A fabric for providing varying energy properties along its length, comprising:
- a woven pattern having a plurality of fibers;
- at least one of the plurality of fibers having a fiber length, a fiber diameter and an energy property, said energy property being graded along the length of the fiber itself.
A thread for use in fabric, comprising:
- at least one fiber having a fiber length, a fiber diameter and an energy property, a change in said energy property of said fiber exhibited along the length of the fiber itself;
- and
- wherein said change in said energy property comprises a graduation from a first energy property to a second energy property between portions of the length of the fiber itself.
A fabric comprising:
- a plurality of fibers joined together to form a span of fabric;
- at least one of the plurality of fibers having a fiber length, a fiber diameter and an energy property, a change in said energy property being graded along the length of the fiber itself;
- and
- wherein said change in said energy property comprises a graduation of said energy property occurring over the length of the at least one of the plurality of fibers between portions of said span of fabric.
1 more element
A thread for use in fabric, comprising:
- a length having first and second portions, a diameter and an energy property;
- a linearly graduated increase in a number of fibers in the thread, said linearly graduated increase in the number of fibers occurring between said first and second portions along the length of the thread whereby said energy property of said thread is graded along the length of the thread itself.
