Three-dimensional channeled fabric structure for garments and/or footwear

Abstract

A fabric structure includes a first layer, a second layer, and a spacing layer that interconnects the first layer and the second layer, wherein, the interconnecting of the first layer, second layer, and third layer forms a plurality of channels.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a fabric structure, such as a three-dimensional knitted or woven spacer fabric for footwear and outerwear. Background technique [0002] Prior art footwear and outerwear spacer fabrics are generally composed of non-monolithic composite fabrics applied with a laminate material that serves as a moisture barrier to hinder the transportation and evaporation of moisture. Such prior art spacer fabrics designed for footwear and outerwear generally do not allow the air flow effect used for moisture movement in the fabric and improved comfort. These spacer fabrics are usually used as a moisture barrier, hindering the transportation and evaporation of moisture. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a fabric that overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages. [0003] In addition, nowadays people wear clothes and shoes to protect their body parts against weather factors, such as snow, rain, wind, and especially cold, to achieve "thermal...

Problems solved by technology

This solution has the following disadvantages: in fact, due to the structural complexity of the garment, the production and assembly costs are high, and the final product obtained with this known technology proves to be heavy and rigid

This solution has the disadvantage that the outer layer proves to be hydrophilic and therefore does not allow a continuous and linear discharge of vapors to the outside and thus creates condensation on the inside of the garment

[0012] Regarding this latter problem, patents EP0979893B1, EP0756030B1, EP1369515B1, EP1586684B1 and EP1586685B1 are known; the knitted fabrics described in this prior art, although capable of being processed to increase thermal insulation, do not allow sweat in liquid phase to escape from the garment. transfers the inner surface of the first inner layer to the outside (lateral breathability) or defines the passage of sweat in the gas phase from the first inner layer to the outside (longitudinal breathability)
