Definitions
- the present disclosure generally relates to cooling materials, and more particularly to materials having cooling effects. Methods of manufacture are included
- Sleep is critical for people to feel and perform their best, in every aspect of their lives. Sleep is an essential path to better health and reaching personal goals. Indeed, sleep affects everything from the ability to commit new information to memory to weight gain. It is therefore essential for people to use bedding that suit both their personal sleep preference and body type in order to achieve comfortable, restful sleep.
- Selecting the appropriate type of bedding is an important aspect in achieving proper sleep. For example, selecting a pillow, mattress, mattress topper, etc. that is cool to the touch can greatly affect how comfortable a user is when they sleep. Indeed, materials that are cool to the touch may prevent the user from overheating while he or she is sleeping and/or can create a comfortable environment to allow the user to fall asleep more quickly. However, conventional materials used to make bedding are not cool to the touch, thus causing the sleeper discomfort, which can prevent restful sleep. This disclosure describes an improvement over these prior art technologies.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Sleep is critical for people to feel and perform their best, in every aspect of their lives. Sleep is an essential path to better health and reaching personal goals. Indeed, sleep affects everything from the ability to commit new information to memory to weight gain. It is therefore essential for people to use bedding that suit both their personal sleep preference and body type in order to achieve comfortable, restful sleep.
[0003] Selecting the appropriate type of bedding is an important aspect in achieving proper sleep. For example, selecting a pillow, mattress, mattress topper, etc. that is cool to the touch can greatly affect how comfortable a user is when they sleep. Indeed, materials that are cool to the touch may prevent the user from overheating while he or she is sleeping and/or can create a comfortable environment to allow the user to fall asleep more quickly. However, conventional materials used to make bedding are not cool to the touch, thus causing the sleeper discomfort, which can prevent restful sleep. This disclosure describes an improvement over these prior art technologies.
SUMMARY
[0004] In one embodiment, in accordance with the principles of the present disclosure, a cooling material is provided that includes opposite top and bottom surfaces and a central portion positioned between the top and botom surfaces. The top surface comprises
a first fiber. The bottom surface comprises a second fiber. The middle portion comprises the first and second fibers and a third fiber.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0011] The exemplary embodiments of cooling materials and methods of making cooling materials are discussed in terms of cooling materials for use in bedding, such as, for example, pillows, mattresses, mattress toppers, etc. The present disclosure may be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description of the disclosure. It is to be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the specific devices, methods, conditions or parameters described and/or shown herein, and that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments by way of example only and is not intended to be limiting of the claimed disclosure.
[0012] Also, as used in the specification and including the appended claims, the singular forms“a,”“an,” and“the” include the plural, and reference to a particular numerical value includes at least that particular value, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Ranges may be expressed herein as from“about” or “approximately” one particular value and/or to “about” or“approximately” another particular value. When such a range is expressed, another embodiment includes from the one particular value and/or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent“about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms another embodiment. It is also understood that all spatial references, such as, for example, horizontal, vertical, top, upper, lower, bottom, left and right, are for illustrative purposes only and can be varied within the scope of the disclosure. For example, the references“upper” and“lower” are relative and used only in the context to the other and are not necessarily“superior and“inferior”.
[0013] The following discussion includes a description of cooing material 10 The components of material 10 can be fabricated from materials including polymers and/or composites, depending on the particular application. For example, material 10 can be fabricated from materials such as fabrics or textiles, paper or cardboard, cellulosic-based materials, biodegradable materials, plastics and other polymers, semi-rigid and rigid materials. Material 10 may also be fabricated from a heterogeneous material such as a combination of two or more of the above-described materials. Material 10 and/or components of material 10 can be extruded, molded, injection molded, cast, pressed and/or machined.
[0014] Material 10 comprises a yarn that is extruded through spinnerets by adding flakes or pellets of a cooling substance, such as, for example, mica to flakes or pellets of raw material(s). Mica is the name of potassium, magnesium, iron, aluminum, lithium and other family layered silicate minerals. It is widely distributed on the earth and is one of the familiar minerals in daily life. It has stable chemical property and good thermal conductivity, water absorption, adsorption property. Due to the thermal conductivity of 0.03, its transfer rate is 5 times higher than the polyester. Mica’s excellent thermal conductivity is mainly due to its layer structure. It has been found that good heat conducting mica fiber textiles can rapidly transferred body heat
to the outside of fabric, and it is very suitable for spring and summer cooling product. Other cooling minerals e.g. cooling Jade can also be added. The flakes or pellets of the cooling substance are melted together with the flakes or pellets of the raw material(s) and as the filaments come out of the spinneret, they are cooled. The cooling process solidifies them and turns them into filaments. In some embodiments, the raw material(s) is/are rayon, nylon and/or polyester. In some embodiments, the raw materiai(s) is/are uncrimped rayon filaments, uncrimped nylon filaments and/or uncrimped polyester filaments. For example, in one embodiment, material 10 includes a“cooling nylon” yarn wherein flakes or pellets of mica are added to flakes or pellets of nylon. The mica flakes or pellets are melted with the flakes or pellets of nylon to form a composition that is extruded through a spinneret to form the cooling nylon yarn as described above.
[0015] In one embodiment, material 10 comprises a“cooling rayon” yam wherein flakes or pellets of mica are added to flakes or pellets of rayon. The mica flakes or pellets are melted with the flakes or pellets of rayon to form a composition that is extruded through a spinneret to form the cooling rayon yarn containing up to about 60% by weight of mica flakes or pellets. In alternative embodiments of the rayon composition of the present invention comprises about 0.1 % to about 50% by weight of mica flakes or pellets, about 0.1 % to about 45% by weight of mica flakes or pellets, about 0.1 % to about 40% by weight of mica flakes or pellets, about 0.1 % to about 35% by weight of mica flakes or pellets, about 0.1 % to about 30% by weight of mica flakes or pellets, about 0.1 % to about 25% by weight of mica flakes or pellets, about 0.1 % to about 20% by weight of mica flakes or pellets, about 0.1 % to about 15% by weight of mica flakes or pellets; about 0.1 % to about 10% by weight of mica flakes or pellets; about 0.1 % to about 5% by weight of mica flakes or pellets, about 0.1 % to about 2% by weight of mica flakes or pellets or any combinations thereof.
[0016] In one embodiment, material 10 comprises a“cooling polyester” yarn wherein flakes or pellets of mica are added to flakes or pellets of polyester. The mica flakes or pellets are melted with the flakes or pellets of polyester to form a composition that is extruded through a spinneret to form the cooling polyester yarn thread once cooled. The mica flakes or pellets are melted with polyester to form a
composition that is extruded through a spinneret to form the cooling polyester yarn containing up to about 60% by weight of mica flakes or pellets. In alternative embodiments of the polyester composition of the present invention comprises about 0.1 % to about 50% by weight of mica flakes or pellets, about 0.1 % to about 45% by weight of mica flakes or pellets, about 0.1 % to about 40% by weight of mica flakes or pellets, about 0.1 % to about 35% by weight of mica flakes or pellets, about 0.1 % to about 30% by weight of mica flakes or pellets, about 0.1 % to about 25% by weight of mica flakes or pellets, about 0.1% to about 20% by weight of mica flakes or pellets, about 0.1 % to about 15% by weight of mica flakes or pellets; about 0.1 % to about 10% by weight of mica flakes or pellets; about 0.1 % to about 5% by weight of mica flakes or pellets, about 0.1 % to about 2% by weight of mica flakes or pellets or any combinations thereof.
[0017] In some embodiments, material 10 includes a yarn comprising 100% cooling nylon. In some embodiments, material 10 includes a yarn comprising 100% cooling rayon. In some embodiments, material 10 includes a yarn comprising 100% cooling polyester.
[0018] It is envisioned that the yarns that make up material 10 may be of different sizes and/or may comprise different numbers of filaments. For example, material 10 may include a yarn comprising denier from about 1 D to about 200D and/or may include between about 10 and 200 filaments. In some embodiments, material 10 may include a yarn comprising 75D/72F wicking polyester (75 Denier with 72 filaments) Wicking polyester is designed to pull sweat and moisture away from skin toward the outside of fabric in order to evaporate quicker. Synthetics like polyester are hydrophobic, meaning the fabric doesn’t like moisture or sweat. Wicking polyester has a special cross-section and a large surface area, which picks up moisture and carries it away from your body, spreading it out, to evaporate easily on the outside of the fabric. They also have a capillary action that moves moisture from areas of high concentration to low concentration. Once the moisture reaches the outside of the fabric, it evaporates, or moves on to the next layer to start the process anew. So, you stay cool and dry. In some embodiments, material 10 may include a yarn comprising 40D/34F cooling nylon (40 Denier with 34 filaments). In some embodiments, material 10 may include a yarn o
comprising 85% polyester and 35% nylon wherein material 10 comprises 75D/72F wicking polyester (75 Denier with 72 filaments) and 4QD/34F cooling nylon (40 Denier with 34 filaments). In some embodiments, material 10 may include a yarn comprising 70D/88F cooling nylon (70 Denier with 68 filaments). In some embodiments, material 10 may include a yarn comprising 52% polyester and 48% nylon wherein material 10 comprises 75D/72F wicking polyester (75 Denier with 72 filaments) and 70D/68F cooling nylon (70 Denier with 68 filaments). In some embodiments, material 10 may include a yarn comprising two plies of 4GD/34F cooling nylon (40 Denier with 34 filaments).
[0019] A plied yarn is one where multiple strands of yarn— already spun yarn— are put together and twisted in the opposite direction from that in which they were first twisted. This gives the yarn much more strength, durability and consistency than is seen in a singles yarn. A 2-ply yarn has two strands; a 3-ply yarn has three strands etc. You can have a very bulky two-ply yarn or an extremely thin four-ply yarn depending on how the individual singles were produced. In some embodiments, material 10 may include a yarn comprising 48% polyester and 52% nylon wherein material 10 comprises 75D/72F wicking polyester (75 Denier with 72 filaments) and two plies of 40D/34F cooling nylon (40 Denier with 34 filaments). In some embodiments, material 10 may include a yarn comprising 75D/72F cooling polyester (75 Denier with 72 filaments).

140D/136F cooling nylon (140 Denier with 136 filaments). This is done just to achieve different levels of cooling. If we don’t want fabric to be 100% cooling then we can blend it with non-cooling yarns. In some embodiments, material 10 may include a yarn comprising 24% polyester and 76% nylon wherein material 10 comprises 145D/14QF cooling polyester (145 Denier with 140 filaments), nylon and 150D/144F cooling nylon (150 Denier with 144 filaments).

In some embodiments, material 10 may include a yarn comprising 100% 15GD/144F cooling polyester (150 Denier with 144 filaments).
[0023] It is envisioned that the yarns that make up material 10 may have different densities. For example, material 10 may have an average density between about 0.1 % and about 5.0%. In some embodiments, material 10 has an average density between about 0.5% and about 1.6%. In some embodiments, material 10 has an average density of 1.1 %.

[0027] In some embodiments, the yarns that make up material 10 may are knitted to form material 10. For example, material 10 may be formed using a weft knitting method, such as, for example, a circular knitting technique. The yarns are run in wales and courses wherein the wales are perpendicular to the course of the yarn. In some embodiments, material 10 has about 20 to about 60 wales per inch and about 35 to about 75 courses per inch. In some embodiments, material 10 has about 30 to about 50 wales per inch and about 45 to about 65 courses per inch. In some embodiments, material 10 has 40 wales per inch and 55 courses per inch.
[0028] Material 10 comprises a top surface 12 and an opposite bottom surface 14 A central portion 16 is positioned between surfaces 12, 14 Surface 12 comprises a fiber 18, surface comprises a fiber 20, and portion 16 comprises fibers 18, 20 and a fiber 22. At least one of fibers 18, 20 includes a material, such as, for example, one or more of the cooling materials discussed herein. In some embodiments, at least one of fibers 18, 20 includes nylon, rayon and/or polyester. In some embodiments, at least one of fibers 18, 20 includes cooling nylon, cooling rayon and/or cooling polyester. Fiber 22 is configured to maintain fibers 18, 20 such that a user’s skin will only contact fiber 18 and/or fiber 20 when the user touches material 10. That is, the users skin will not directly contact fiber 22 when the user touches material 10.
[0029] In some embodiments, fiber 18 and/or fiber 20 may comprise a material, such as, for example, rayon, nylon and/or polyester that is cool to the touch such that when the user touches material 10 fiber 18 and/or fiber 20 will provide a cooling effect. In some embodiments, fiber 18 and/or fiber 20 may comprise a material, such as, for example, cooling rayon, cooling nylon and/or cooling polyester that is cool to the touch such that when the user touches material 10 fiber 18 and/or fiber 20 will provide a cooling effect. In some embodiments, fiber 22 is the same as at least one of fibers 18, 20. For example, fiber 22 may be made from the same or similar materials as at least one of fibers 18, 20.

EXAMPLE 1
[0637] The maximum level of the contact heat flow q-max (W/cm2) of various yams was determined to assess the suitability of such yarns for use in cooling materials, such as, for example, cooling material 10. The q-max for each yarn was determined by measuring the peak value of heat current immediately after the heat stored on a pure copper plate (area: 9cm2, weight: 9.79g) travels to a specimen when the plate touches the surface of the specimen. The q-max for each yarn tested is shown in FIG. 3. As shown in FIG. 5, a range of yarns were looked at in order to decide which yam will be most suitable for as a suitable cooling fabric. Yarns were shortlisted based of their Qmax properties and melange effect.
[0638] While it was expected that yarns that include blends of only cooling nylon, cooling rayon and/or cooling polyester would have higher q-max scores than yarns that include blends of cooling nylon, cooling rayon and/or cooling polyester
and nylon, rayon and/or polyester, as shown in FIG. 3, the yarn that included cooling rayon and nylon had a higher q-max score than the yarn that included cooling rayon and cooling nylon (0.359/0.301 and 0.33/0.29).
EXAMPLE 2
[0039] The melange effect of various yarns was determined to assess the suitability of such yarns for use in cooling materials, such as, for example, cooling material 10. In some examples, the melange effect is a color effect achieved by cross dyeing fabric made from more than one type of fiber. The process involving dipping the fabric into several different dye baths specifically chosen for their affinity to the fibers so that each fiber type will only absorb certain dyes. In order to create melange yarn, the fiber is usually dyed before spinning. The melange effect for each yam tested is shown in FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. 4, yarns that include blends of only cooling nylon, cooling rayon and/or cooling polyester have an uneven melange effect and yarns that include blends of cooling nylon, cooling rayon and/or cooling polyester and nylon, rayon and/or polyester have an even melange effect. In that yarns that include blends of cooling nylon, cooling rayon and/or cooling polyester and nylon, rayon and/or polyester have an even melange effect and have q-max scores that are higher than yarns that include blends of only cooling nylon, cooling rayon and/or cooling polyester (and have an uneven melange effect), it may be preferable to use yarns that include blends of cooling nylon, cooling rayon and/or cooling polyester and nylon, rayon and/or polyester over yarns that include blends of only cooling nylon, cooling rayon and/or cooling polyester for use in a cooling material, such as, for example, cooling material 10, since such yarns have been shown to demonstrate superior q-max scores and melange effects.
