Definitions

  • an economic process for gathering a fabric which comprises attaching a heat recoverable material which is elastomeric in its heat stable form to a portion of the fabric and heating the material to cause it to recover and gather the fabric.
  • a gathered fabric comprising a heat recovered elastomeric material.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide disposable garments having elastic portions capable of accommodating a variety of sizes.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view, partly in section, of a garment sleeve having an attached band of heat shrinkable elastomeric material.
  • FIG. 2 is a view of the sleeve shown in FIG. 1 after recovery of the material.
  • FIG. 3 is a pictorial view of a hospital gown whose cuffs have been gathered according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a hospital gown whose sleeves have not been gathered by the invention.
  • an elastomeric material is a substance that can be stretched at room temperature to at least about twice its length and which after removal of the stretching load will immediately return to approximately its original length.
  • the material may be rendered heat recoverable by any of the methods known for imparting this property.
  • the material may be formed into an article having an original configuration, then deformed at an elevated temperature, and subsequently cooled while maintaining the deforming force. Such an article will retain its new configuration until it is again heated to an elevated temperature. Upon heating to the temperature of recovery, the material recovers to its previously held, heat stable configuration.
  • the heat recoverable material can be applied to the fabric by any conventional means, for example by using contact cements, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and heat sealing provided of course that the temperature required for heat sealing is lower than that of the recovery, or provided that recovery is prevented during the application. It is however within the scope of the invention to apply and recover in one step so long as the adhesion between the fabric and the material is sufficiently strong immediately after application to enable the material to carry the fabric with it during recovery. Where sewing can be employed, the recoverable material can be sewn to the fabric without need for the simultaneous application of tension necessary with conventional elastic elements used in garment manufacture. Of course, the particular preferred method will depend both on the material and the nature of the fabric to which it is being applied.
  • the shape of the heat recoverable material varies with the particular application. For example, if a sleeve of a garment is to have an elastic wristband, then a piece of recoverable material may be applied to the inside or the outside of the sleeve.
  • the piece may be a strip or an endless band. If, for example, a garment is simply to be shaped by gathering a small portion of the fabric, a shrinkable strip may be applied to an appropriate portion of the garment.
  • a band may be made by expanding tubing, for example, as described in the abovementioned US. Patents, and cutting off suitably sized lengths of the expanded tubing.
  • a strip may be formed from, for example, tubing or sheet.
  • the material may be covered, either by the fabric itself or by other covering materials, to enhance the appearance of the garment.
  • the band to tighten a wristband may be applied to the inside of the sleeve a short distance from the end of the sleeve, and part of the end region turned in to form a hem containing the recoverable band.
  • the material may be caused to recover by many of the commonly used methods for recovery of such materials, such as by use of a hot-air gun, an iron, or an oven.
  • materials suitable for use in the invention are those containing elastomeric regions and nonelastomeric regions. It is believed that, below a transition temperature of the nonelastomeric regions, the elastomeric regions can be held in a deformed state (such as that achieved by imparting heat recoverability to the material) by the nonelastomeric regions while still allowing the gross material to display elastomeric properties. Above the transition temperature, e.g., a glass transition or crystalline melting point, the nonelastomeric regions have insufficient strength to maintain the deformation.
  • each terminal A block is formed from the same monomer or monomers.
  • each end block A has an average molecular weight of 2,000 to 100,000 (preferably 5,00050,000) and has a glass transition above about 25 C. (preferably above 50 C.
  • the center block B has an average molecular weight of 25,000 to 1,000,000 (preferably 50,000 to 500,000) and a glass transition temperature below 10 C. (preferably below C. and more preferably below 25 C.).
  • the difference in glass transition temperatures of the end and center blocks is at least 40 C., and preferably above 100 C.
  • the end blocks together advantageously constitute to 50 percent (preferably to 40 percent) by weight of the polymer.
  • Preferred for block B are polymers of aliphatic conjugated dienes, e.g., isoprene, methyl isoprene, butadiene homopolymers and styrene/butadiene and butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymers.
  • Preferred for blocks A are polymers of styrene'type monomers, e.g., styrene itself, methyl styrene and chlorostyrene.
  • a preferred copolymer is one in which B represents an elastomeric polyisoprene block while each A represents a polystyrene block.
  • the polymers are preferably cross-linked by conventional techniques, e.g., by ir radiation or by chemical cross-linking agents, prior to impartation of heat recoverability.
  • the polymers can contain any of the usual additives, e.g., fillers, antioxidants, flame retardants, pigments, so long as such additives do not unduly interfere with the elastomeric properties of the material.
  • additives e.g., fillers, antioxidants, flame retardants, pigments
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 depict hospital gowns generally indicated at l.
  • the gowns are preferably of the disposable variety and manufactured from nonwoven fabric.
  • the sleeves 2 of the gowns are not shaped in any way and hence do not taper toward the wrists. Instead, such gowns have large diameter cuffs, as shown at 3. Those cuffs constitute a danger, as they may drag surgical instrument trays, tables, and other surfaces.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a sleeve 2 ofa gown of the type illustrated in FIG. 4 to the inside of the cuff 3 of which has been attached a band 4 of heat shrinkable elastomeric material.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a sleeve 2 ofa gown of the type illustrated in FIG. 4 to the inside of the cuff 3 of which has been attached a band 4 of heat shrinkable elastomeric material.
  • FIG. 2 shows the same sleeve after recovery of the band 4 by heating, while FIG. 3 shows at 5 the effect on the gown 1.
  • the head band of the cap, waist, and cuffs (particularly for clean room use) of such garments can be gathered by the application of this invention.
  • EXAMPLE 1 A styrene/butadiene block copolymer sample (Kraton 3125, available from the Shell Oil Co.) is formed into a slab. The slab was 3 inches X 5 inches 0.020 inches. It was then irradiated in a 1 MeV beam to a dose of 15 Mrad and expanded at 1 10 C. so that the 5-inch length became 15 inches, i.e., an expansion of 3X, and cooled while maintaining it expanded. The slab was cut in the expansion direction into strips 0.25 inches wide. Using a contact cement (Roberts' Anchor Weld 0308) one strip was bonded to each cuff ofa nonwoven fabric (du Pont Tyvek) disposable garment.
  • Kelon 3125 available from the Shell Oil Co.
  • the sleeve section was then heated to C., when the strip recovered to its original length and gathered the cuff.
  • the cuff was found to be elastically deformable, i.e., it could be readily stretched to allow a hand to pass through it and thereafter form a snug fit around the wrist.
  • the properties of Kraton 3 are described in Shell Chemical Company Technical Bulletin SCR 68-193.
  • Example 2 A strip of Thermofit SFR tubing, 2 inches long, 025 inches diameter and 0.020 inch wall thickness was irradiated to a dose of 20 Mrad in a 1 MeV beam.
  • Thermofit is a trademark of Raychem Corporation.
  • the material is a blend of a silicone rubber with a thermoplastic material, the blend being elastomeric and capable of having heat recoverability imparted to it.
  • the tubing was heated to C. in an oven, stretched to 4 inch in length, and cooled to room temperature, while maintaining that length. It was then attached, with General Electric Silicone Contact Cement 516 to Kimlon, a cellulosic nonwoven fabric manufactured by Kimberly-Clark Corporation. Reheating to 150 C. caused the tubing to shrink, resulting in a gathered material which was elastically stretchable.
  • Example 3 A strip of Neoprene HC, 6 inch X 0.25 inch X 0.020 inch was irradiated as described in example 2 and similarly stretched to 12 inches at 75 C. The cooled, elongated strip was attached to Kimlon with a contact cement (Roberts Anchor-Weld 0308). Reheating to 75 C. resulted in an elastic-gathered fabric article.
  • Example 4 Example 3 was repeated, with the change that Vistalon 3708, an ethylene-propylene elastomer manufactured by Enjay Corporation (Standard Oil of New Jersey) was expanded at 100 C.
  • the adhesive used was General Electric Silicone Contact Cement 576. Reheating the assembly to 100 C. produced an elastic-gathered article.
  • a shaped element gathered in at least one region at tached to a heat shrunk material selected from the group of materials which are elastomeric following heat recovery from a dimensionally heat unstable state to a dimensionally heat stable state.
  • a garment attached in at least one region to a heat shrinkable material, which material is selected from the group of materials which are elastomeric following heat recovery from a dimensionally heat unstable state to a dimensionally heat stable state.
