Abstract
Composite yarns having a total diameter of less than about 0.017 inch are formed with one or more core strands, each having a denier in the range of 100-300, preferably 150-300; a first covering strand of stainless steel wire having a diameter of from 0.0015 to 0.0030 inch; and a second covering formed of one or more strands which may be selected from the same material and range of sizes as the core strands.
Claims32
A composite, cut-resistant yarn comprising
- (a) a core formed of at least one yarn strand having a denier of from about 100 to about 300;
- (b) an outer covering formed of at least one yarn strand having a denier of from about 100 to about 300;
- (c) an inner covering strand of stainless steel wire having a diameter of from about 0.0015 to about 0.0030 inch;
- and
- (d) the diameter of the combination of said core strand and said inner and outer covering strands being no greater than 0.017 inch.
A protective garment knitted from a composite, cut-resistant yarn, said yarn comprising:
- (a) a core formed of at least one yarn strand having a denier of from about 100 to about 300;
- (b) an outer covering formed of at least one yarn strand having a denier of from about 100 to about 300;
- (c) an inner covering strand of stainless steel wire having a diameter of from about 0.0015 to about 0.0030 inch;
- and
- (d) the diameter of the combination of said core strand and said inner and outer covering strands being no greater than 0.017 inch.
A composite, cut-resistant yarn having a diameter of less than 0.017 inch, whereby said yarn is knittable on a 13 gauge knitting machine comprising
- (a) a core having at least one strand having a denier of from about 100 to about 300;
- (b) an outer covering having at least one strand having a denier in the range of from about 100 to about 300;

- (c) an inner covering strand of stainless steel wire having a diameter of from about 0.0015 to about 0.0030 inch.
A knitted, cut and puncture resistant, glove liner suitable of the type to be worn beneath latex gloves, said glove liner being formed from a composite yarn comprising:
- (a) a core having at least one strand having a denier of from about 100 to about 300;
- (b) an outer covering having at least one strand having a denier of from about 100 to about 300;
- and
- (c) an inner covering strand of wire having a diameter of from about 0.0015 to about 0.0030 inch, said composite yarn having a total diameter of less than about 0.0017 inch.
A composite, cut-resistant yarn comprising:
- (a) a core formed of at least one yarn strand having a denier of from about 100 to about 300;
- (b) an outer covering formed of at least one yarn strand having a denier of from about 100 to about 300;
- (c) a single inner covering strand of stainless steel wire having a diameter of from about 0.0015 to about 0.0030 inch;
- and
- (d) the diameter of the combination of said core strand and said inner and outer covering strands being no greater than 0.017 inch.
A protective garment knitted from a composite, cut-resistant yarn, said yarn comprising:
- (a) a core formed of at least one yarn strand having a denier of from about 100 to about 300;
