Definitions

  • the present invention relates to breathable articles, and more particularly articles that in use are disposed at least intermittently between a part of a body of a person or animal and a surface (which may optionally be perforated).
  • Such articles may, for example, include facing, cushioning and lining articles permanently or releasably affixed to any surface, or for wearing or locating between a person or animal and any surface; e.g. apparel of all types (e.g. watersports apparel), parts of wheelchairs, facing, cushioning and lining for seats of all types (e.g.
  • the articles may also include medical and veterinary dressings, which may for example be held onto the body by an overlying cover member or by winding the dressing onto itself around the part of the body.
  • the word "article” used herein includes portions of articles.
  • the invention also relates to breathable fabrics from which such articles (and others) can be manufactured.
  • a disadvantage of known breathable fabrics lies in the fact that the breathing action can be inhibited if an article made from the fabric is disposed between a part of a body of a person or animal and a surface.
  • the disadvantage is particularly serious if the surface is hard and/or unperforated and/or if there is a positive external pressure on the article, for example from the weight of the person or animal or from the surface being held tightly against the article.
  • an article comprising a sheet having first and second major faces directed respectively to first and second sides of the article and adapted to be disposed at least intermittently in use between, to the first side, a part of a person or animal and, to the second side, a surface, the sheet being formed of a substantially impermeable material having perforations provided therethrough, characterised in that there is further provided a plurality of spacer members which project from at least one of the said major faces of the sheet between perforations of the sheet for spacing the sheet from the said part of the person or animal, from the said surface, or from both of these, whereby in use between both the surface and the part of a person or animal the article is breathable to restrict discomfort to the person or animal.
  • Such an article will generally, although not necessarily always, be in sheet form, i.e. with no additional non-sheet component parts.
  • a breathable fabric for use particularly, but not exclusively, in manufacturing an article according to the first aspect of the present invention
  • the fabric comprising a sheet having first and second major faces and formed of a substantially impermeable material having perforations provided therethrough, characterised in that there is further provided a plurality of spacer members which project from at least one of the major faces of the sheet between perforations of the sheet for spacing the sheet in use from a part of a person or animal, from a surface, or from both of these on opposite major faces of the sheet.
  • the fabric will typically be cut to the desired shape, and any desired additional component parts of the article attached or formed, to prepare the finished breathable article.
  • the spacer members project from at least the second major face of the sheet (optionally from only the second major face of the sheet) for spacing the sheet from the said surface.
  • the spacer members may project from at least the first major face of the sheet (optionally from only the first major face of the sheet) for spacing the sheet from the person or animal.
  • the sheet further includes a hollow depression or chamber provided in the first major face of the sheet in the region of each perforation.
  • a hollow depression or chamber provided in the first major face of the sheet in the region of each perforation.
  • one depression or chamber may be associated with more than one perforation.
  • the cross-dimension of the depression or chamber may, for example, be in the range of about 0.4 mm to about 50 mm, more typically about 0.4 mm to about 30 mm.
  • the surface density of depressions or chambers on the sheet may be up to about
  • 500,000 m 2 for example between about 200 and about 500,000 m 2 .
  • the size and surface density of depressions or chambers can be chosen by one or ordinary skill in the art, according to the breathability properties required. For example, a surface density of over 100,000 small depressions or chambers per m 2 , with associated perforations typically having a cross-dimension of less than about 0.1 mm, e.g. possibly as low as about 0.01 mm, may be useful for specialised articles such as medical or veterinary dressings or other coverings.
  • the thickness of the sheet may be chosen to suit the desired application of the article.
  • the thickness may be from 0.5-100 mm, e.g. less than about 50 mm, particularly from 1-30 mm, most particularly from about 3 to about 15 mm.
  • the perforations may be of any convenient or advantageous shape, e.g. circular, slit-like or elliptical, when viewed along their lengths, and suitably have a cross-dimension up to about 5 mm (e.g. from about 0.01 mm to about 5 mm).
  • the perforations are suitably about the size of a pin-prick, e.g. about 0.2 to about 2 mm in diameter.
  • the centres of adjacent perforations may suitably be up to about 100 mm, e.g. up to approximately 30 mm, apart and the perforations may, for example, be arranged in a repeating diamond pattern or other repeating pattern across the sheet.
  • fabric used herein includes a fabric portion
  • sheet includes a sheet portion
  • the spacer members may, for example, project from the sheet by a distance which is substantially constant across at least the majority of the relevant major face of the sheet, so that the article conforms in use to the shape of the person or animal or the surface.
  • the spacer members may be of variable length in the direction away from the sheet, for example to accommodate specific contours of the surface or the person or animal's body.
  • the spacer members may be discontinuous or continuous. They may suitably comprise ribs or discrete or point projections extending from the sheet.
  • the spacer members may, for example, be attached to the sheet or may be integral with the sheet.
  • the substantially impermeable sheet may be a unitary sheet or a laminate, and is preferably elastomeric.
  • the component(s) may be foamed or unfoamed. If foamed, the foam structure can be closed-cell or open-cell. While an open-cell foam will normally have some inherent permeability, such a foam is still understood to be "substantially impermeable" in the context of the present invention if the presence of perforations makes a recognisable improvement to breathability.
  • Suitable elastomeric materials include synthetic and natural rubbers, for example neoprene rubber, and/or synthetic polymers of all types. In the case of a laminate, different materials may if desired be used for different lamina.
  • the sheet is preferably a sheet of the general STOMATEX type described above.
  • the second major face of the sheet is provided with dome projections in the region of each perforation, corresponding with the hollow chambers of the first major face of the sheet.
  • the domes flex as the pressure changes take place in the chamber, and this flexing assists in the removal of moist air away from the person's skin adjacent the first major face of the sheet.
  • the spacer members are adapted to maintain the domes spaced from the surface and thereby to prevent inhibition of the flexing action during normal use.
  • the spacer members preferably project from the second major face of the sheet by an amount which is substantially the same across at least the majority of the second major face of the sheet, so that the article conforms in use to the shape of the surface.
  • the spacer members are preferably of sufficient resilience that the perforations of the sheet remain open to the second side of the article during normal use, i.e. so that the second side of the article is not normally pressed against the surface.
  • the spacer members may suitably comprise a network of ribs extending across substantially all of at least one side of the article or fabric, the ribs thereby providing walls beside each dome projection of the second major face of the sheet. If desired, the air space thereby defined over the dome projections can be covered by an air-permeable sheet cover member extending between the ribs and secured (e.g. sealed) thereto.
  • an air-permeable sheet cover member may be a water-absorbent cloth or other fabric, e.g. of hydrophilic fibres such as high-wicking microfibres, particularly polyesters.
  • a cover member provides a high wicking action which absorbs moisture passing out through the perforations of the sheet from the first to the second major face of the sheet. In this way, the surface against which the article is located can be maintained as dry as possible.
  • the air-permeable sheet cover member may, for example, be a waterproof but vapour-permeable membrane. Still further, such a waterproof but vapour-permeable membrane may be used together with a water-absorbent fabric, e.g.
  • Such a composite may be a laminate with the different layers being bonded together in conventional manner.
  • the surface against which the article of the present invention can rest may be rigid or flexible, perforated or unperforated, permeable or impermeable.
  • the article of the present invention can also be wound around a part (e.g. a limb) of a person or animal's body, in which case the "surface" will be that portion of the article which is wound over the portion of the article adjacent the person or animal's body, i.e. the article (e.g. a bandage) will be wound over itself.
  • the article of the present invention may, for example, take the form of the following facing, cushioning and lining articles permanently or releasably affixed to any surface, or for wearing or locating between a person or animal and any surface:
  • the fabric portions of wheelchairs e.g. the seat, back and armrest portions
  • boot and shoe insoles and linings in which case the surface is the interior surface of the boot or shoe;
  • the article of the present invention may also take the form of medical or veterinary dressings, which may for example be held onto the body by an overlying member (optionally with or without a contact adhesive between the dressing and the skin of the person or animal) or by winding the dressing onto itself around a part of the body (e.g. a limb).
  • an overlying member optionally with or without a contact adhesive between the dressing and the skin of the person or animal
  • winding the dressing onto itself around a part of the body e.g. a limb
  • the spacer members When the spacer members are provided with an air permeable, hydrophilic fibre, absorbent sheet cover member, enclosing an air space over the dome projections of the second major face of the sheet, condensed sweat will be absorbed into the fibres of the absorbent cover member. Sweat may not pass back through the perforations after condensation. Even when the sweat is still vaporous in the air space over a dome projection, it will not return to the chambers of the first major face of the sheet due to the positive thermal and diffusion gradient from the first to the second major face of the sheet.
  • the perforations and associated chambers are suitably of sufficient size and spacing apart to permit the natural biological functions of the user's skin to continue substantially unhindered over a desired period of time, while permitting a controlled (but not excessive) retention of the user's body heat.
  • the components of the article or fabric should be non-toxic, non-irritant and comfortable to wear (in the sense of lightweight, flexible and soft to the touch), as well as being resistant to attack and degradation from all natural by-products of the user's body (e.g. sweat, blood, tissue fluid, urine, pus, and gases such as carbon dioxide).
  • the article will provide substantial protection to the wearer from cold or other external hazards (e.g. water, chemicals, bacteria, air etc), while permitting an enhanced air-exchange efficiency as soon as high levels of wearer activity arise, which cause the perforations to open due to flexing of the article and/or the higher temperatures and pressures within the chambers of the sheet.
  • the perforations may conveniently be interspersed with smaller numbers of other types of perforation according to the present invention and/or other (e.g. conventional) perforations.
  • the perforations open when the vapour pressure of moisture in the chamber(s) reaches saturated vapour pressure.
  • the article's properties can be adjusted to suit the intended use.
  • the article can be made to respond in its "breathability" to variations in external conditions and or in the user's biological functions, so that to some extent such articles can self-regulate their "breathability” and hence automatically control the environment next to the wearer's skin within a pre-set temperature range.
  • the fabric and articles made therefrom may be manufactured according to conventional methods.
  • a foamed or unfoamed elastomeric sheet can be press- formed, e.g. by thermoformation under pressure, or vacuum-formed, to provide the required chambers, domes and space members and the sheet can be perforated by pins to provide the perforations.
  • the perforation of the sheet can be simultaneous with the press-forming or vacuum-forming or at a different time from the press- forming or vacuum-forming.
  • the spacer members can be laminated to the remainder of the sheet. This will be appropriate when the resilience of the spacer members must be different from that of the perforated portion of the article.
  • a first sheet portion of a first elastomeric material may be press-formed or vacuum-formed to provide the required chambers and domes and the sheet can be perforated by pins to provide the perforations.
  • the perforations of the sheet can be simultaneous with the press-forming or vacuum-forming or at a different time from the press-forming or vacuum-forming.
  • a second sheet portion of a second elastomeric material (typically different from the first elastomeric material) can have relatively large holes punched through it, which are large enough to comfortably receive the domes projecting from the first sheet portion.
  • the two sheet portions can be laminated together in this configuration, whereby the second sheet portion provides the space members according to the present invention.
  • additional permeable layers are to be laminated or bonded to the fabric, e.g. across the spacer members to enclosed an air space above the domes to the second major face of the sheet, this lamination or bonding may be achieved in conventional manner, using known materials and methods.
  • the articles according to the present invention is formed from the fabric by any suitable means, e.g. cutting, pressing and/or stamping, and any desired additional elements conventional to articles of the desired type may be incorporated to form the finished article.
  • any suitable means e.g. cutting, pressing and/or stamping, and any desired additional elements conventional to articles of the desired type may be incorporated to form the finished article.
  • any suitable means e.g. cutting, pressing and/or stamping, and any desired additional elements conventional to articles of the desired type may be incorporated to form the finished article.
  • any suitable means e.g. cutting, pressing and/or stamping, and any desired additional elements conventional to articles of the desired type may be incorporated to form the finished article.
  • no or very little processing is required after the fabric has been cut, pressed or stamped to shape.
  • the present invention goes at least some way to providing a simple, inexpensive, comfortable, insulating, washable and effective facing, cushioning or lining system for wearing or locating between a person or animal and an outer covering, thereby addressing the problems described above in the introduction.

  • the second major face 3 of the sheet is provided with dome projections 8, one in the region of each perforation 6, so that a perforation also coincides with the apex of each dome.
  • the arrangement permits air passing from the first to the second side of the fabric to accumulate in a chamber 7 under increased pressure prior to passing out through the perforation 6 to the second side of the fabric.
  • the elastomeric sheet can flex, both under the effect of the pressure changes and as a result of mechanical bending. These flexing movements contribute to a positive pumping effect which causes an efficient transfer of moisture-laden air through the fabric from its first to its second side.
  • a plurality of spacer members in the form of ribs 9 which project from the second major face 3 of the sheet between the perforations 6 and serve to space an article made from the fabric from the surface 5, whereby the flexing action can continue unhindered, even if the person's weight tends to squash the article 1 against the surface 5.

In many cases, however, simple facing, cushioning or lining articles will require no or very little processing after the fabric has been cut, pressed or stamped to shape.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un article respirant, par exemple un pansement médical ou un article de parement, de rembourrage ou de doublure, pour habiller une personne ou à placer entre une personne et la surface d'un (I) habit ou d'un vêtement, d'une (ii) chaise, d'une (iii) chaise roulante, d'un (iv) couvre-chef, de (v) chaussures, de (vi) protège-corps, de pare-balles et boucliers, de (vii) literie, de (viii) revêtements de sièges, ou d'(ix)articles orthopédiques. Ledit article est constitué d'une feuille de tissu élastomère (par exemple du Néoprène en mousse) (1). Ladite feuille a une première (2) et une seconde grandes faces avec de petits trous en tête d'épingle (6) ménagés dans les centres de dépressions ou chambres (7) superficielles de la première grande face (2) et correspondant à des projections bombées (8) de la seconde grande face. La feuille de tissu, telle qu'illustrée, sera précisément coupée selon la forme désirée pour constituer l'article respirant fini. Entre les trous (6), plusieurs éléments d'espacement sont présentés sous la forme d'un réseau de nervures continues (9) qui saillent de la seconde grande face et servent, en utilisation, à écarter la feuille de tissu de la surface de façon à maintenir la respirabilité par ventilation à travers les dépressions/chambres (7) et les trous (6). Les nervures (9) peuvent avoir un élément de couverture de feuille perméable à l'air (non montré) fixé aux nervures, s'étendant entre des nervures adjacentes pour enfermer un espace d'air entre les nervures. L'invention traite enfin du tissu respirant correspondant qui permet de fabriquer les articles respirants précités (et d'autres).
