SYNTHETIC FABRIC HAVING SLIP RESISTANT PROPERTIES AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240018784 titled 'SYNTHETIC FABRIC HAVING SLIP RESISTANT PROPERTIES AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a synthetic nonwoven fabric that has bonded fibers forming channels surrounding unbonded fibers forming raised slip-resistant spots. The fabric is made by extruding hot polymer through a spinneret die onto a moving belt to form a sheet of random fibers. This sheet then undergoes a calendering process between a pair of heated rollers, one of which has a plurality of cavities defined in its surface. The resulting fabric can be laminated and combined with other layers to create a slip-resistant end product.

  • The fabric is made by extruding hot polymer through a spinneret die onto a moving belt.
  • The sheet of random fibers is then calendered between heated rollers, one of which has cavities on its surface.
  • The resulting fabric has bonded fibers forming channels and unbonded fibers forming raised slip-resistant spots.
  • The fabric can be laminated and combined with other layers to create an end product with slip-resistant properties.

Potential Applications:

  • Flooring materials for homes, offices, and public spaces.
  • Non-slip mats for bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas prone to wetness.
  • Safety equipment such as gloves, shoes, and protective clothing.
  • Upholstery and seating materials for vehicles and furniture.

Problems Solved:

  • Slips and falls on slippery surfaces.
  • Lack of slip-resistant options in various industries.
  • Need for improved safety in wet or hazardous environments.
  • Limited availability of slip-resistant materials for different applications.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced safety by providing slip-resistant properties.
  • Versatile and customizable fabric that can be laminated and combined with other layers.
  • Durable and long-lasting material.
  • Can be used in various industries and applications.
  • Provides a cost-effective solution for slip resistance.


Original Abstract Submitted

a synthetic nonwoven fabric having bonded fibers forming channels surrounding unbonded fibers forming raised slip resistant spots. the fabric is made by extruding hot polymer through a spinneret die onto a moving belt to form a sheet of random fibers, which sheet undergoes a calendering process between a pair of heated rollers, one of which rollers having a plurality of cavities defined in its surface. the resulting fabric can be laminated and otherwise combined with other layers as desired to provide an end product having good slip resistant properties.
