When the present utility model is applied to the shoulder straps of underwear, it can effectively relieve the stress on the skin generated by the fabric straps and increase comfort of underwear; when applied to the underwear wire casing, it can not only greatly increase anti-bursting strength, but also relieve the stress on female breasts generated by wire with formed cushion, thus preventing uncomfortable stress on the points of contact on skin after wearing said underwear. Impressions on the skin can be avoided and the comfort and safety of underwear can be improved.

Description

    CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
  • This application claims benefit from U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/239,463, filed Sep. 3, 2009.
  • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present utility model relates to the technical field of fabric straps. Particularly to a new fabric strap with a multi-layer structure.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Presently, fabric straps are widely used in the textile industry and daily life, specifically in the garment industry. For example, fabric straps are essential accessories for underwear. In recent years, dramatic improvements have been made in the design and appearance of fabric straps. In order to make fabric straps more beautiful, patterns, decorations and color designs are changing with each passing day, yet less improvement has been made in the structure and function of fabric straps. Taking underwear straps as an example, one sees that most regular-sized underwear adopt narrow fabric straps as their shoulder straps to make the appearance look more exquisite. But for developed females, in order to keep the figure, the underwear straps need to bear large amounts of tension. Narrow straps will press hardly against the shoulders, thus causing discomfort for the wearer. In addition, it is easy for the narrow straps to generate impressions on the skin. Due to these problems, the present method is to connect a length of softer, thicker and wider fabric strap at the shoulder position of the shoulder strap through sewing, so as to satisfy the function required. However, it has complicated working procedures and leads to low work efficiency, which hinders automated production. Moreover, due to the present stitching position, the fabric strap affects the integral aesthetics and can cause skin allergies, red impressions or uncomfortable feelings, etc. due to friction. Another example is underwear wire casing. At present, two types of steel casing straps for underwear are available in the market: those that contain hot-melt yarn and those that do not contain any hot-melt yarn. The steel casing straps without the hot-melt element are structurally loose and prone to perforation. The steel casing straps with hot-melt yarn in the weft, which during the drying process are hot-melt and adhered to the cross-points of other yarn within the fabric, have an enhanced strength to effectively prevent the steel wire from perforating. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,071,578 discloses a tubular fabric with a hot-melt yarn, which is hot-melt to form a barrier on the inner wall of the tubular fabric to prevent perforation by steel wire, yet has complicated working procedures and high costs. In addition, the steel casing strap for underwear has a double-layer tubular structure with uniform thickness and would form a layer of hard film after the hot-melt yarn is heated. After the underwear wire is embedded, it will form a hard embossment, create uncomfortable stress and generate impressions when the embossment touches the wearer's skin, which provides a poor level of wearing comfort.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The utility model aims to provide a new fabric strap with a multi-layer structure, to improve upon the limitations of present technology. The multi-layer structure of the present utility model can form a cushion with erect fine hairs, which can relieve the pressure on the skin caused by the fabric strap and steel casing, making the underwear more comfortable. Meanwhile, proneness to penetration from steel wired casing can be reduced. The steel casing with the present structure, not only contains no hot-melt yarn, but also has incredible anti-bursting strength far more than the steel casing fabric containing hot-melt yarn, which can reduce the cost and simplify production process.
