Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a flame resistant three layer, double-knit or woven fabric, which has particular application in the formation of mattresses and its foundations.
  • chemically treated fabrics will self-extinguish and exhibit limited melt behavior when a flame is removed, they typically form brittle chars, shrink and crack open after exposure to a direct flame allowing the underlying materials to ignite.
  • Another disadvantage of chemically treated fabrics are that they are not considered durable in that they can lose their flame retardant properties if exposed to water and it is also possible that the fire retardant chemical can migrate over time, causing a loss in flame resistant performance.
  • Some of the flame barrier fabrics currently being used with the goal to pass the more stringent open flame tests, such as TB129, TB133 and TB603 include:
  • a woven polymer coated 100% fiberglass flame barrier (Sandel® Fabric, Sandel International Inc.) 2) A woven or knit core-spun yarn based flame barrier where natural and/or synthetic fibers are wrapped around a multifilament glass and/or a spun p-aramid core yarn and then optionally treated with fire retardant chemicals and/or a coating of thermoplastic polyvinyl halide composition, such as polyvinyl chloride (Firegard® Seating Barriers, Intek; Firegard® Brand Products, Chiquola Fabrics, LLC, Alessandra flame resistant barrier cloth, McKinnon-Land, LLC)
  • thermoplastic polyvinyl halide composition such as polyvinyl chloride (Firegard® Seating Barriers, Intek; Firegard® Brand Products, Chiquola Fabrics, LLC, Alessandra flame resistant barrier cloth, McKinnon-Land, LLC)
  • a nonwoven flame resistant highloft barrier made from blends of inherently flame resistant or chemically treated fibers and fibers containing halogenated monomers (ProtechTM flame resistant Highloft, Carpenter Co., Fire Resistant High Loft,
  • Natural fiber wrapped core-spun yarn fabrics require additional fire retardant chemical treatments and/or coatings of a thermoplastic polyvinyl halide composition, such as polyvinyl chloride to be effective in passing the more stringent open-flame tests. This negatively impacts the workplace by having to handle these chemicals and increases the exposure of chemicals to the consumer who uses the composite article.
  • Hydroentangled nonwoven spunlace flame barriers containing significant amounts of p-aramid fibers, which impart a yellow color to the flame barrier and negatively effect the look of the composite article, especially when used directly under white or light-colored decorative upholstery and/or mattress ticking fabrics and are negatively affected by UV light. They also are difficult to cut when manufacturing the quilt panels of mattresses or the upholstering apiece of furniture.
  • the term "flame resistant” means a product which helps to reduce the level of flammability of the final article to the point at which it is able to pass a large open flame composite type flammability test, such as: California Test Bulletin 129 (TB129) or California Test Bulletin 603 (TB603) for mattresses and foundations and California Test Bulletin 133 (TB 133) for upholstered furniture.
  • the flame resistant matelasse fabric allows for the continued use of conventional fill materials such as polyester fiberfill and polyurethane foams, while still passing these stringent large open flame tests. It is understood by someone skilled in the art that flame resistant matelasse fabrics of different constructions then mentioned specifically in this invention, can be designed and produced to pass less stringent open flame tests such California's Revised Test Bulletin 117 (TBl 17 - draft 02/02 version) and British Standard 5852, etc.
  • the invention relates to the use of a flame resistant three-layer double-knit fabric, also know as a matelasse fabric.
  • the top layer is of standard non-flame resistant face yarn
  • the middle layer is of flame resistant filler yarn
  • the bottom layer is of flame resistant core wrap spun yarn.
  • This flame resistant matelasse fabric can be used to protect a mattress, foundation, upholstery cushion, pillow, office panel, mattress pad, pillow, comforter, transportation seat or any other article requiring flame resistant protection.
  • a matelasse fabric is formed by circular double knitting a flame resistant core spun yarn into the bottom portion of the fabric, utilizing a heavy cotton count flame resistant filler yarns for the middle layer and using conventional non-flame resistant yarns for the top layer.
  • the invention has particular applicability in the formation of flame resistant mattresses and foundations that require passage of large open flame tests such as California's Test Bulletin 603, CPSCs 16 CFR part 1633, and Test Bulletin 129 and in the formation of flame resistant upholstered furniture that requires passage of California's Test Bulletin 133 or British Standard 5852 using the crib 5 ignition source or higher.
  • three different types of spun yarns are manufactured, which are knit into a three-layer matelasse fabric.
  • the top layer of the matelasse fabric is comprised of standard non-flame resistant face yarns, such as those made from cotton, rayon, lyocell, polyesters, acrylic, nylons, wool, silk, mohair, cashmere, kenaf, jute, sisal, polyolefins, cellulose acetates, triacetate andpolylactides or any combination thereof. Normally these yarns are spun into 20/1 - 36/1 cotton count range.
  • the middle layer is comprised of flame resistant filler yarns, such as those made from fiber blends of polyester/modacrylic, cotton/modacrylic, acrylic/modacrylic, rayon/modacrylic, lyocell/modacrylic or nylon/modacrylic, etc.
  • Modacrylic fibers are flame resistant acrylic fibers as is known in the industry.
  • Chloropolymeric fibers such as polyvinylchloride fibers can also be substituted for the modacrylic fiber in the fiber blends used to make these filler yarns. Normally the filler yarns are heavy spun yarns in the 2/1 - 6/1 cotton count range.
  • the bottom layer is comprised of flame resistant core wrap spun yarns, in the 10/1 - 26/1 cotton count range, such as ALESSANDRA (McKinnon-Land LLC), a nylon and glass core wrap spun yarn, or FIREGARD (Springs Industries), a glass core wrap spun yarn. These three yarn types are brought together on a circular double knit machine to form the matelasse fabric.
  • a flame resistant corespun yarn (ALESS ANDRA, by McKinnon Land LLC) is produced on a Murata air-jet spinning frame, consisting of a dual core of continuous filament fiberglass and continuous nylon yarn wrapped with a triblend sliver of modacrylic (PROTEX-W, Kaneka Corporation), melamine (BASOFIL, by Basofil Fibers LLC) and polyester staple fibers to form a corespun yarn with a yarn cotton count of 14/1.
  • This core spun yarn is then double knit, in a three-layer construction, as the bottom layer of the matelasse fabric.
  • a filler yarn consisting of a blend of 25% (PROTEX-W, Kaneka Corporation) /
  • polyester standard staple fiber with a cotton count of 2/1 is utilized as the middle layer of the matelasse fabric.
  • the three yarns described above are brought together on a circular double knit machine to form a 14 ounce per square yard matelasse knit fabric.
  • the matelasse knit fabric as described above, is quilted, with layers of polyurethane foam and polyester fiber, as a mattress ticking panel and border with standard mattress quilting machines.

Abstract

L'invention concerne l'utilisation d'un tissu du type trois couches double maille, ou d'un tissu tissé ignifuge, connu également sous la désignation de tissu matelassé. La couche supérieure est en fils d'endroit non ignifugeants, la couche intermédiaire est en fils de charge ignifuges et la couche de base est en filés formant une enveloppe centrale ignifuge. Ce tissu matelassé ignifuge peut être utilisé pour protéger un matelas, un socle de lit, une alèse, un oreiller, un édredon, un coussin d'ameublement, une cloison de bureau, un siège de transport, ou tout autre article nécessitant une protection ignifuge. Dans l'invention, un tissu matelassé est formé par tricotage double circulaire, ou tissage d'un filé central ignifuge, dans la portion formant la base du tissu, et en utilisant, pour la couche intermédiaire, des fils de charge ignifuges, de numérotage coton épais et, pour la couche supérieure, des fils non-ignifugeants conventionnels. L'invention trouve une application particulière dans la formation de matelas et de socles de lits ignifuges, satisfaisant aux tests à grandes flammes nues, tels que spécifiés dans CPSC 16 CFR part 1633, California's Test Bulletin 603 et Test Bulletin 129, ainsi que dans la formation de meubles rembourrés ignifuges satisfaisant aux tests spécifiés dans California's test Bulletin 133 ou British Standard 5852 avec utilisation de la source d'allumage 5, ou plus, pour lit d'enfant.
