Abstract
Improved yarn for manufacturing artificial fur, having underfur and guard hairs. The guard hairs have a multiplicity of staple fibers having tapered ends. The underfur fibers are shorter and of less denier. The guard hairs and underfur fibers are relatively longitudinally slidable to separate at least some of the fibers from others of the fibers. Temporary binding means may be connected to maintain the respective fibers in continuity and resistant to longitudinal sliding separation during one or more fabrication operations. Inactivation of the binding means breaks the continuity of said pile fibers whereupon at least some of the fibers may be longitudinally slidingly separated without being broken.
Claims31
A yarn for use in manufacturing artifical fur having underfur and guard hairs comprising:
- (a) a multiplicity of staple fibers having tapered ends, said fibers being of a denier and length useful to form guard hairs of the artificial fur,
- (b) blended with fibers (a) a multiplicity of at least one kind of fibers selected from the group consisting of (I) a staple fiber which is shorter and of less denier than said fibers (a) and being of a denier and length useful to form underfur of the artificial fur, and a fiber which is of less denier than said fibers and which has the capability of being easily cut into a staple fiber which is shorter than said fibers, and which is of a denier and length useful to form underfur of the artificial fur, said fibers (a) and (b) being relatively longitudinally slidable to separate at least some of the fibers from others of the fibers, and
- (c) temporary binding means connected to said fibers (a) and (b) to maintain them in continuity and resistant to longitudinal sliding separation during fabrication, whereby upon breaking or releasing the temporary binding means at least some of said fibers (a) and (b) may be longitudinally slidingly separated without being broken.
