Abstract
A garment may include a first woven component, a second woven component, a space between the first and second woven components defining a channel filled with a fill material, and a third woven component extending such that the first and second woven components are woven together where there is no channel. The channel may be filled with a filler material. Multiple channels may be provided such that they form a zoned pattern in the garment.
Claims20
A zoned garment, comprising:
- a first woven component;
- a second woven component;
- a space between the first and second woven components defining a channel configured to be filled with a fill material;
- and
- a third woven component extending such that the first and second woven components are woven together where there is no channel.
2 more elements
A zoned fabric, comprising:
- a first woven component formed substantially parallel to a shuttle direction of a loom;
- a second woven component formed substantially parallel to a shuttle direction of a loom;
- a space between the first and second woven components defining a channel extending generally parallel to a shuttle direction of a loom and extending along a plane of the fabric, the channel configured to be filled with a fill material;
- and
- a third woven component extending such that the first and second woven components are woven together at edges of the channel.
2 more elements
A method of making a zoned fabric, comprising:
- weaving a first fabric component extending substantially parallel to a shuttle direction of a loom;
- weaving a second fabric component extending substantially parallel to a shuttle direction of a loom and spaced from the first fabric component and defining a channel extending generally parallel to a shuttle direction of a loom and extending along a plane of the fabric;
- weaving a third woven component extending such that the first and second woven components are woven together at edges of the channel.
