Abstract
A composite textile fabric includes a composite layer of a hydrophobic material and a layer of a hydrophilic material knitted or otherwise formed together. The composite layer has an upper surface of small exposed areas of the hydrophilic material covering a total area about 25% of the overall area of the upper surface. The composite layer provides one way liquid transport for moisture, extending from the upper surface towards a lower surface of the composite layer.
Claims8
A composite textile fabric comprising a generally uniform single fabric layer consisting of a hydrophobic material and a hydrophilic material, the single fabric layer including an inner exposed surface of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials that is predominantly the hydrophobic material, and an outer surface of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials that is predominantly the hydrophilic material, the fabric providing a one-way liquid transport system, transporting liquid away from the inner surface towards the outer surface.
A diaper comprising an inner layer of a fabric comprising a generally uniform single fabric layer consisting of a hydrophobic material and hydrophilic material, the single fabric layer including an inner exposed surface of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials that is predominantly the hydrophobic material and an outer surface of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials that is predominantly the hydrophilic material, the fabric providing a one-way liquid transport system, transporting liquid away from the inner surface towards the outer surface, a middle layer of a treated cotton fabric, and an outer layer of a waterproof material.
