Abstract
The invention features a lining material for footwear. The material includes a non-woven felt including up to 80% by weight of grooved or multi-lobed cross section transport fibers and the remainder of thermally bondable fibers arranged to secure the transport fibers against abrasion and excessive mechanical stretch presented during incorporation of the lining material into a product during that product's manufacture.
Claims8
A lining material for footwear, the material comprising a non-woven felt including up to 80% by weight of grooved or multi-lobed cross section transport fibres and the remainder thermally bondable fibres arranged to secure said transport fibres against abrasion and excessive mechanical stretch presented during incorporation of such lining material into a product during that product's manufacture.
A lining material as claimed in any preceding claim in which the lining material has a density in the range 150-160 kg per cubic meter or a weight in the range of 100-400 gsm.
A lining material having a composition, by weight percentage, of 70% 3.3 decitex 4DG fibres (grooved cross-section polyester fibres designed to transport liquids by wicking and capillary action) blended with 30% 2.5 decitex polypropylene fibres to give a weight of 250 grammes per square meter (gsm) with a gauge of 1.6 mm.
