Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a textile fabric that includes a percentage of synthetic materials with cotton to enhance its strength while maintaining flexibility. The fabric is thin and light but stronger and equally absorbent as conventional cotton fabrics used for martial arts textrettes. The fabric can be woven or knitted and can include KEVLAR yarn to provide resistance to tearing and tearing over cotton alone. The fabric includes a percentage of weight for cotton yarns and may also include spun or filament yarns in the weave of cotton yarns. A new mode of the fabric includes a second yarn that is formed of SPECTRA fiber, a patented fiber sold by DUPONT.

Problems solved by technology

Further, in day to day use for practice, thin cotton fabrics have a tendency to wear prematurely due to the constant tugging from practice sessions, and impacts and friction from hitting a mat when thrown.
While “cotton like” fabrics with more strength have been tried in the past, such fabrics are generally formed of polyester material which retains heat and participants wearing such garments lose the cooling qualities of cotton during the exertion of training and competition.

Embodiment Construction

[0029]Now referring to the drawings in FIGS. 1-5, wherein similar components are identified by like reference numerals, in all modes whether woven or knitted, there is included a first yarn 12 formed of cotton, and a second yarn formed of a synthetic or engineered material which imparts strength to the woven material.

[0030]As depicted in FIG. 2, which shows one mode of weaving of both the first yarn 12 and second yarn 14, the first yarn 12 is preferably in both the warp and weft of the formed fabric. The second yarn 14, may be included only in the warp direction W or only the weft or fill direction F, or the second yarn may be included to run both directions which has shown to yield better resistance to tearing and abrasion.

[0031]As noted in all modes of the textile fabric herein, the percentage of first yarn 12 formed of cotton is substantially 60-70% of the total weight of the woven or knitted fabric in all modes of woven or knitted fabric. The second yarn 14 formed of the materia...

Abstract

The disclosed device relates to woven or knitted textile fabric for employment in martial arts clothing, such as fabric used for manufacture of gis and kimonos for karate and of Brazilian jiu jitsu. The textile fabric is formed of two different types of yarn. The first yarn is comprised of a strong material such as KEVLAR and the second is comprised of cotton.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 353,258, filed on Jun. 22, 2016, which is included herein in its entirety by this reference thereto.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present device relates generally to clothing and uniforms. More particularly, the disclosed device relates to woven or knitted textile fabric for employment in martial arts clothing, such as fabric used for manufacture of gis and kimonos for karate and of Brazilian jiu jitsu.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]A martial arts gi or kimono, such as those used in karate or jiu jitsu is generally formed of cut portions of textile material which are sewn to a uniform worn by students and participants in the many types of martial art sports. Because of the nature of martial arts training and competition such as karate or Brazilian jiu jitsu, which can include striking, kicking, and grappling and tossing the opponent to the mat, the gi undergoes constant stress.[0004]Grappli...
