Abstract
An improved non-metallic yarn, fabric and protective garment made from such yarn, where the yarn, fabric and garment exhibit increased cut resistance, flexibility, pliability and softness. The yarn is non-metallic and includes a core made of fiber and a covering wrapped around the core. At least one of the strands of the core is fiberglass, the non-fiberglass strands are preferably nylon, extended chain polyethylene, aramid or polyester.
Claims11
A non-metallic composite cut-resistant yarn for use in making strong flexible cut-resistant products comprising:
- (a) a non-metallic core including at least one strand of fiberglass, said at least one strand having a denier in the range of 375-1,000 and being substantially parallel to and untwisted with another strand in said core;
- (b) a non-metallic covering wrapped on said core, said covering including at least tow strands unbraided and spirally wrapped in opposite directions relative to each other around the core, said composite cut-resistant yarn having a composite denier between about 2,000 and about 5,000;
- (c) said two strands in said covering being spirally wrapped about said core at the rate of 8-12 turns per inch;
- whereby said composite yarn may be formed into fabric on conventional knitting or weaving machines.
A composite, cut-resistant yarn for use in making strong, flexible products comprising:
- (a) a non-metallic core including one strand of fiberglass having a denier in the range of 375-1,000 and another strand formed of an extended chain polyethylene;
- (b) a non-metallic covering wrapped on said core, said covering including two fiber strands wrapped in opposite directions relative to each other around the core, one of said wrapping strands being formed of extended chain polyethylene and the other wrapping strand being formed of polyester, the composite cut-resistant yarn having a composite denier between about 2,000 and about 5,000;
- (c) said two fiber strands being spirally wrapped about said core at the rate of 8-12 turns per inch;
- (d) whereby said composite yarn may be formed into fabric on conventional knitting or weaving machines.
