Definitions
- the general object of this invention is to provide a method for the production of disposable garments having a principal tubular torso portion and an integral tubular appendage portion in a simple and economical manner so that the garments may be disposed of without laundering after they have become soiled.
- the present invention provides for the first time a seamless garment having a principal tubular body portion and an integral tubular appendage portion, the garment being formed of a layer of fibers in random distribution and with at least some of the fibers in the layer being bonded together.
- the process for producing such disposable garments comprises, in general, dispersing fibers in an air stream,
- the apparatus in general, comprises a chamber, means to disperse fibers in an air stream in the chamber, a collector having substantially the shape of the desired garment and means to bond the fibers together in the deposited or collected fiber layer.
- the collector is porous and means are provided to apply suction to one surface of the collector whereby the fibers are deposited on the other surface.
- the collector is so formed that the fibers are collected on the inside of a hollow porous collector and the shaped fiber layer is separated from and removed from the collector by stripping and withdrawing the article from the inside of the collector.
- FIGURE 1 is a side elevational view, partly in section, of one form of apparatus for making disposable garments in accordance with this invention
- FIGURE 2 is an elevational view of one form of garmerit produced by the use of apparatus as illustrated in FIGURE 1;
- FIGURE 3 is a side elevational view, partly in section, of an inverted embodiment of apparatus for forming garments in accordance with this invention
- FIGURE 4 is an elevational view of a finished garment formed with the apparatus illustrated in FIGURE 3;
- FIGURE 5 is a perspective view of a further embodiment of the disposable garments of this invention having textile fabric reinforcements
- FIGURE 6 is a sectional view at an enlarged scale of a portion of the garment shown in FIGURE 5 illustrating one method of applying textile fabiic inserts to the garment;
- FIGURE 7 is a perspective view showing a further embodiment of disposable garments having reinforcements and having drawstring inserts.
- FIGURE 8 is a perspective view of a further embodiment of the disposable garments wherein some of the integral appendage portions or sections are provided with closed ends.
- any desired fibers may be utilized.
- the particular fibers selected will depend largely upon the specific garment and its intended uses and the relative cost of the fiber.
- asbestos fibers may be utilized in providing aprons, jackets, trousers and the like where the garments would be used by firefighters, metal Workers and the like.
- other natural fibers and synthetic fibers alone or in admixture may be employed.
- the garment is preferably formed of a mixture of short fibers and long fibers.
- the relative proportions of the short fibers and long fibers may be varied, or the garment may be formed by first depositing a thin layer of long fibers, then a layer of short fibers followed by another layer of long fibers.
- one type of fiber may first be collected or deposited to form a thin mat, then the other type of fiber introduced along with the first type and finally introducing only the second type of fiber so that the finished product has external surfaces formed of the individual types of fibers.
- long fibers designates textile making fibers capable of being carded and the term short fibers designates non-textile making fibers having a length less than about one-half inch and including pap'ermaking fibers.
- the short fibers can be wood fibers, before or after beating, kapok, asbestos, glass fibers and organic plastic fibers of less than one-half inch in length, wool waste and noils and the like, all of which are normally not useful for making conventional woven or knitted garments.
- the fibers in the product are preferably bonded together at least where the fibers cross each other.
- the garment fibers may be adhesive bonded or fiber bonded. This bonding may be effected by spraying a suitable adhesive onto the web after the garment has been formed or an adhesive may be sprayed into the stream of airborne fibers as they pass toward the collector.
- the garment is made of a mixture of non-binder fibers and binder fibers, that is, at least some of the fibers are potentially adhesive.
- the binder fibers may be adhesively tacky when they are deposited on the collector or they may be rendered tacky or adhesive by a suitable treatment with a solvent or heat with or without pressure. Such fibers are termed potentially adhesive.
- the binder or potentially adhesive fibers may be formed of any fiber-forming substance which may be rendered adhesive, that is, sticky, cementitious, agglutinous or tacky by heating to temperatures elevated with respect to normal or atmospheric temperatures or by treatment with a solvent or both.
- Fiber-forming substances satisfactory for the purposes of this invention are substances such as polymers which may be formed into fibers from a flowable condition, that is, from a plastic or molten state or from a solution such as cellulose derivatives, resins or elastomers.
- the cellulose derivatives include organic solvent soluble cellulose esters such as cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate-butyrate and the like and organic solvent soluble cellulose ethers and the like.
- Resins which are satisfactory for forming the potentially adhesive fibers include inexpensive natural resins such as shellac, dammar and the like, and synthetic resins formed by the polymerization of various organic compounds such as coumarone, indene, vinyl, styrene, sterol aldehyde, furfural, ketones urea, thiourea, phenol-aldehyde resins, either alone or modified with oils, urea-aldehyde resins, polyhydric alcohol-polybasic acid resins (Dacron), drying oil-modified alkyd resins, resins formed from acrylic acid, its homologues and their derivatives, resins formed from dicarboxylic acids and diamines (nylon type); natural and synthetic rubber or rubber substitutes such as polymerized butadiene, olefine polysulfides, isobutylene polymers, chloroprene polymers; copolymers such as copolymers of a vinyl halide and vinyl acetate, or a vinyl
- the non-binder or non-adhesive fibers may be natural fibers and fibers formed of synthetic resins which are not rendered adhesive when the potentially adhesive fibers are rendered adhesive and include asbestos, wood fibers, cotton, flax, jute, sisal, kapok, wool, hair, silk and the like, cellulosic fibers such as formed from cellulose hydrate, cellulose esters, cellulose ester-ethers, mixed cellulose ethers, cellulose hydroxyalkyl ethers, cellulose carboxyalkyl ethers, cellulose ether-xanthates, cellulose xantho-fatty acids, cellulose thiourethanes, fibers formed from alginic acid, gelatine, casein, and the like, and also fibers and filaments made by slitting, cutting or shredding non-fibrous films such as waste cellophane.
- the character and quality of the non-woven fabric forming the garment may be varied by varying the nature of the short fibers and the long fibers.
- short fibers which are non-binder or non-adhesive in admixture with long fibers which are potentially adhesive, a nonboardy soft pliable garment results.
- short fibers of a binder or adhesive nature and long fibers which are non-adhesive the fabric is relatively stilf although it is still flexible.
- a relatively stiff fabric results which may be of extremely low cost.
- the wear-resistance of the fabric may be increased.
- a mixture of fibers is employed consisting of a major proportion of short fibers, e.g., from about 50% to about 95% by weight, and a minor proportion of long fibers, e.g., from about 5% to about 50%, the long fibers preferably being potentially adhesive and serving to bond the fibers in the garment.
- the apparatus shown in FIGURE 1 includes a chamber 10 wherein the fibers 11 are dispersed in an air stream moving axially of the chamber.
- the air stream may be provided by a suitable blower 12 and the fibers may be dispersed in the air stream by introducing them into the blower or through a separate conduit. If desired, some of the fibers may be formed within the chamber.
- a suitable fiber-forming device may be of the form shown in the copending application of Paul C. Watson, Serial No. 400,304, filed December 24, 1953 now abandoned.
- a fiber-forming liquid is extruded through a tube 13 positioned coaxially within a high velocity gas stream supplied through nozzle 14 by means of a suitable blower 15. The liquid is dispersed into a multiplicity of fine tacky fibers 11b which float up and mix with the blown fibers 11.
- a removable mold 16 At the opposite end of chamber 10, there is positioned a removable mold 16.
- the mold comprises an outer impermeable shell 17 and an internal foraminous or porous collector shell 18 spaced from the outer shell 17 and having substantially the desired configuration of the garment.
- the collector for a T-shirt would have a principal tubular body or torso-receiving portion T and integral tubular appendages or arm-receiving portions A.
- the collector may have an impervious Portion 19 and likewise at the ends 20 of the arm portions the collector may be formed of an impermeable material.
- the collector is positioned in spaced relationship within the impervious outer casing 17, the casing being preferably provided with a plurality of ducts 21 through which the gas may be exhausted from the chamber.
- both the mold and the chamber may be provided with mating flanges 22 and 23. Since the sprayed fibers 1111 are tacky at the time when the fiber mixture is deposited on the mold, they bond the other fibers and enable the garment to be removed from the mold in one piece.
- the fibers are all preformed fibers such as rayon staple fibers introduced into the chamber as through blower 12, they are carried from the point of introduction to the collector by the air stream and become intermingled and are deposited on the collector in a random distribution. After a layer of the desired thickness is collected on the collector surface, a suitable binding or adhesive material may be introduced as through atomizers 24 and 25, the air flow through the chamber and through the collector surface being maintained during the atomizing period.
- the collected fibrous layer may be bonded into a unitary struc ture by introducing hot gas or by introducing steam through atomizers 24 and 25 to raise the temperature sufficiently high to cause the thermoplastic fibers to become tacky and then introducing cooler air to set the thermoplastic fibers.
- the fibers may be rendered adhesive by a solvent, vapors of the solvent may be supplied through the atomizers 24 and 25 followed by flushing with air to deactivate and reset the adhesive fibers. Thereafter, the mold 16 may be separated from the chamber and the fibrous article or garment is stripped from the collector 18 internally of the mold.
- the garment as produced by this apparatus and utilizing any of the bonding methods is shown in FIGURE 2.
- the garment comprises a main hollow or tubular body or torso-receiving portion 26 and integral hollow or tubular appendage or sleeve or arm-receiving sections 27.
- the torso-receiving portion has at one end a neck portion adapted to encompass the wearers neck and the armreceiving sections or sleeves extend in a generally downward direction along the torso-receiving portion from a position adjacent the neck portion, the axes of the armreceiving sections forming acute angles with the axis of the torso-receiving portion.
- the length of the torso portion and the lengths of the sleeve portions may be of any desired size.
- a cord 28 may be laid around the neck portion or may be secured adjacent the neck portion and the neck portion turned down upon itself to enclose the cord and therby provide a drawstring.
- the cord may be adhered by adhesive or by thermally bonding the layers of garment.
- the back portion may be slit and tie cords 29 secured along the slit to provide a jacket or gown for use by surgeons, nurses, waitresses, etc.
- the fiber-forming device 32 includes a hollow disc secured to a tubular shaft 33 and having a series of spaced orifices in its outer peripheral surface and means (not shown) for rotating the disc at a high velocity.
- a fiber-forming plastic in liquid state is supplied to the hollow disc through the tubular shaft and the plastic is thrown through the orifices by centrifugal force to form fibers which are carried downwardly in the tower by a gas stream.
- a mold 34 which comprises an outer impervious shell -35 provided with gas exhaust conduits 36 and an internal foraminous or porous collector shell 37.
- the collector shell in this instance, may be in the form of a turtle-neck sweater and may be shaped as illustrated. After the fiber layer deposited on the collector shell is of a desired thickness, the fibers in the layer are bonded together as described hereinabove. The mold is thereafter separated from the chamber and the garment is stripped from the collector surface. This apparatus may be inverted if desired.
- the lower marginal portion of the torso section 38 may be folded upwardly and a cord placed within the fold before the edge is bonded to the torso portion to form a drawstring 39.
- the neck portion may, if desired, be slit and a portion folded downwardly as shown to form a collar 40.
- the marginal portions 41 of the sleeves 42 may be turned upwardly to reinforce the open ends of the sleeve. Because of the non-woven structure, the fibrous sheet has limited stretchability. It is necessary to form the seamless body or torso portion of sufficient width to allow the garment to be slipped over the shoul-,
- the drawstring at the lower portion or, if desired, a drawstring attached higher up on the torso section may be provided to gather in the fullness at the wearers waist.
- the garment as illustrated in FIGURE 5 includes woven fabric reinforcement sections such for example as collar and cuff members, and knee, elbow or foot portions. Portions of the garment may be reinforced by applying textile portions, which may be of relatively open mesh, to the web during formation of the garment on the collector so that the open mesh textile is embedded in the web layer. Where the open mesh fabric is embedded in the web layer, it becomes an integral part of the web and the fibers on each surface of the fabric become bonded to the fabric and bonded to each other through the openings in the fabric.
- textile portions which may be of relatively open mesh
- the area adjacent the elbow portion 43 of the shirt 44 may be provided with a woven textile reinforcement.
- the textile may be secured to the garment by means of a suitable adhesive, or, where the garment includes thermoplastic fibers, the textile may be secured to the garment by a hot pressing operation whereby the thermoplastic fibers become tacky and upon cooling bind the textile to the fibrous web.
- the textile reinforcement may be sewn to the garment.
- the cuff portions 45 may be secured to the sleeve in the same manner.
- the cuff and collar portions may be formed of a loosely woven or woven mesh section 46 and a closely woven portion 47.
- the open mesh portion 46 may be embedded in the fibrous web as shown in FIGURE 6 and bonded to the fibrous web by the use of an adhesive or by the use of adhesive fibers in the non- Woven garment. Application of heat and pressure activates the adhesive material or adhesive fibers and joins the cuff portion to the garment to form a unitary assembly.
- a pocket 48 may be secured to the garment by adhesively mounting the pocket on the garment along the sides and bottom of the pocket section.
- the pocket section may be formed of a woven fabric if desired.
- the upper marginal portion of the pocket section is preferably turned downwardly over a cord 49, the ends of which are adhesively or thermally bonded to the garment as a reinforcing means.
- the reinforcing fabric may be applied to the initially collected fibers. For example, after the thickness of the collected fibrous web is about one-half that of the desired thickness, the introduction of the fibers into the chamber may be arrested and the reinforcing woven fabric applied at the desired areas. The fibers are then introduced into the chamber and collected over the reinforcing fabric portions until the desired thickness of fiber layer has been collected. After removal of the garment from the mold, it may be subjected to a suitable heating and pressing operation to bind the fibers to the reinforcing fabric.
- the garment is provided with reinforcements at the ends of the sleeves and at the neck portion which are most likely to obtain strains which might tear the garment. Simultaneously, the ap pearance is enhanced by the tailored cuffs and collar.
- FIGURE 7 there is illustrated an undergarment, such as drawers, panties or the like.
- the marginal portions 51 of the leg members 52 of the drawers 50 are preferably folded back upon themselves to form a hem and a cord or layer 53 is positioned under the fold or within the hem.
- the marginal portions are then adhesively or thermally bonded to the leg members.
- Such structure is well suited to reinforce these leg openings which might be subjected to suificient strains to cause the garment to tear.
- the folded marginal portions may be secured to the leg members and the openings reinformed by sewing.
- the upper end of the drawers should be of sufficient size to pass the wearers hips.
- the upper marginal portion 54 is folded downwardly upon the torso portion of the garment and a drawstring 55 is positioned under the fold before the marginal portion is adhesively secured to the torso portion.
- the seat section of the garment and where the garment is formed with leg portions which extend to the wearers ankles, the knee portion, or the entire garment may be surfaced with or reinforced with a woven fabric or with a continuous film of plastic material, such as a vinylite resin sheet.
- FIGURE 8 there is illustrated a further form of garment which may be formed in accordance with the present invention, namely, a childs sleeping garment.
- the garment is formed with a torso portion 56 and integral leg appendages 57 and arm appendages 58.
- the neck portion is preferably provided with a drawstring 59 of the same type as described hereinbefore. If desired,
- the ends ofthe arm appendages may be cut adjacent the ends as shown by the dotted lines 60.
- Portions of the garment may be reinforced with woven fabric or a continuous film of plastic material as described hereinabove.
