Abstract
Creating textile product by utilizing a three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system as the infrastructure for weaving simultaneous independent fabric layers in conjunction with weaving connectors between and among the layers.
Claims10
A process for weaving textile product utilizing independent layers of fabrics woven with a plurality of warp yarn and fill yarn connectors created with a plurality of warp yarns positioned in vertically shifted arrays comprising the steps of:
- a. weaving at least two mutually adjacent fabric layers formed in the x, y plane of a 3 dimensional coordinate system, and
- b. weaving of mutually adjacent fabric layers simultaneously on the loom, and
- c. placing each successive adjacent fabric layer in the z direction of the 3 dimensional coordinate system, and
- d. shifting vertically, each successive fabric layer into a non-aligned array, and
- e. interlacing a plurality of fill and warp yarns alternately between and among the adjacent fabrics layers, whereby a connection is formed between and among the fabric layers.
