Description of the Invention (丨) Invention Back. Quantity 1. Field of Invention The present invention relates to a non-woven fabric including curved fibers. Within 45 degrees of the extension axis. The present invention is for use in non-woven fabrics used in institutional fixation, filtration applications, and with diagonal lines. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing such a nonwoven fabric. .2. The fibers are already being used in institutional fixing applications according to conventional instructions, typically referred to as "hook and loop" systems. The fiber includes products sold under the trademark Velcr0 ™. In the fixing system of the hook and the coil, a fiber containing a hook shape is mechanically fixed to another fiber containing the coil by inserting the hook into the coil. The coil in the conventional technology includes a shaft handle ( stem) and a loop of wire loop, the shaft shank protrudes upward from the fiber surface and the ring-shaped coil is attached to the shaft shank. The combination of the shaft shank and the coil is similar to the shape of a magnifying glass with a cylindrical handle The conventional technique is expensive to manufacture a hook and reed system. The clamping force of the system is limited by the size of the reed opening. The air filtration system includes a filter medium, which must have sufficient porosity This allows air to pass through the filter medium to block unwanted substances. This type of filter is generally made of fiberglass. This type of filter has limited use and applications with low pressure drop. Another disadvantage of filter media is that once the filter fiber is fully loaded, it will stop effectively blocking specific substances.

It includes a mechanical direction axis and an axis that defines the direction of the minimum initial tensile modulus. Ω, hereafter referred to as the "minimum tensile modulus axis". The initial tensile modulus is defined by the slope of the stress-strain curve of the nonwoven over the range of the curve with the elastic properties of the nonwoven material. Known For the technology that is common in the conventional technology, when the stress increases, the slope of the stress-strain curve will eventually increase 'and pass the slope defined by the initial tensile modulus. The machine direction axis is when Kunming is manufacturing non-woven fabrics. The direction of travel of the non-woven plane is defined.
