Claims14
A material comprising a woven fabric, the fabric being stretchable in a single direction, that direction being the weft direction of the woven fabric and being non stretchable in the warp direction of the woven fabric in applicational use of the fabric, the material construction enabling the material to recover generally to its original shape after stretch, the material consisting of non elastomeric yarn in the warp direction of the woven fabric and comprising elastomeric yarn in the weft direction of the woven fabric.
A material comprising:
- a woven fabric having warp and weft directions of weave, the fabric being stretchable in the weft direction of the weave and being non stretchable in the warp direction of the weave in applicational use of the woven fabric, the material formed from elastomeric yarn in the weft direction of weave and consisting of non elastomeric yarn in the warp direction of weave, the material having a first and a second side, and a layer of stretchable adhesive positioned on at least one of the first and second sides of the fabric, wherein the woven fabric comprises twill weave and wherein the material and the adhesive returns to their original shape after a stretching force is applied.
A woven fabric having a warp direction and a weft direction comprising:
- a plurality of threads of non elastomeric yarn in the warp, the non elastomeric yarn consisting essentially of all the yarn in the warp;
- and
- a plurality of threads of elastomeric yarn in the weft, the elastomeric yarn consisting of all the yarn in the weft, the woven fabric being stretchable in the weft direction and being non stretchable in the warp direction in applied use of the fabric, the fabric having uniform single plane surfaces.
