Such fibers are generally purchased in bales, which are placed in a picker and sent to the carting machine after the fibers are separated. As soon as the web or fabric is formed, it is then joined by one or more of several known bonding methods. When this bonding method is a powder bonding method, the powder adhesive is dispersed throughout the web or the fabric, and then the fabric and the adhesive are generally heated by hot air to activate the powder adhesive. Another suitable bonding method is a pattern bonding method, in which heat calender rolls or ultrasonic bonding devices are used to bond the fibers together in a generally local bonding pattern, but the fabric can be bonded over its entire surface if desired. Another suitable and well known binding method is the air binding method, which is particularly suitable when using bicomponent staple fibers.

Preferred fabric web 614 is a nonwoven fabric, but any disposable or washable fabric may be used. (See discussion below.) The web of web 614 is typically unrolled from a roll or other source (not shown).

The web of web 614 preferably gives the wearer a soft and soft feel. In addition, the materials described below that can form the web 614 of the fabric can be used as the material for forming the inner surface 611 and the outer surface 612 of the multilayer laminated web 614 of the fabric.

The web 614 of the fabric may be any suitable material described above for the web 15 of the fabric.

The web 614 of the fabric may consist of a single spunbond polypropylene nonwoven web having a basis weight of about 0.5 oz / yd ² (17 gsm) to about 1.5 oz / yd ² (51 gsm). In this construction garment 610, the web of web 614 preferably comprises a material having a basis weight of about 0.5 oz / yd ² (17 gsm) to about 1.5 oz / yd ² (51 gsm). Lower or higher basis weights may be used for other areas of the garment 610, such as sleeves 651 and 653, cuffs 660 and 662, and collars 669. Since garment 610 is typically intended for workwear, web 614 of fabric, or portions thereof, may be made from a certain basis weight of material that is wear resistant.

For embodiments where the web 614 of the fabric is a multilayer stack, both the outer surface 612 and the inner surface 611 preferably give the wearer a soft and soft feel. It is also possible to form the material of the inner surface 611 using the materials described below that can form the outer surface 612.

The outer surface 612 can be any suitable corrugated material described above with respect to the outer surface 13.

In addition, the outer surface 612 can be derived from a spunbond web. In a preferred embodiment, the outer surface 612 is a stack (SMS) of spunbond polypropylene nonwovens, meltblown polypropylene nonwovens and spunbond polypropylene nonwovens. The total basis weight is about 0.4 to about 1.0 osy (preferably 0.6 osy) and is made from about 86% spunbond nonwoven and 14% meltblown nonwoven. Pigments such as titanium dioxide can be incorporated into the outer surface 612 and the inner surface 611. Such spunbond meltblown nonwoven laminates are available from Kimberley-Clark Corporation, Roswell, GA. The basis weight of the SMS material may vary from about 0.4 to about 1.0 osy.

The inner surface 611 can be any soft and flexible sheet as described above for the inner surface 11.

The outer surface 612 and the inner surface 611 may further be dyed, colored or printed in any suitable color. Preferably, the inner surface 611 is dyed, colored or printed with a material that either irritates the wearer's skin or does not bleed onto the wearer's skin.

The web 614 of the fabric includes a pair of opposing web side edges 635 and 636. A repeating series of openings 645 are cut in the web 614 of the fabric by a die cutter 613 (see FIG. 50). The position of the opening 645 in the web 614 of the fabric corresponds to the arm openings 647 and 649 of the finished garment 610. The opening 645 may be manufactured by a die cutting process, an ultrasonic process, or any other suitable method of process. The material removed from the opening 645 may be removed by any method known in the art, preferably by a vacuum source (not shown).

The openings 645 can vary in size and shape, such as slits, circles, ovals, triangles, squares, rectangles, polyhedrons, asymmetries, or irregularities. The pattern of the openings 645 is limited only by the minimum amount and fashion of the web 614 of fabric that must maintain sufficient integrity to withstand the remaining steps or processes of the manufacturing method. Arm openings 647 and 649 can vary in size and shape, such as slits, circles, ovals, triangles, squares, rectangles, polyhedrons, asymmetries, or irregularities. The pattern of the arm openings 647 and 649 is limited only by the minimum amount and fashion of the web 614 of the fabric that must maintain sufficient integrity to withstand the remaining steps or processes of the manufacturing method.

The web 614 of fabric is cut into individual garment dimension pieces 615 by a die cutter 613. The web side edges 635 and 636 of the web 614 of the fabric become the garment lower edges 622 and 628 of the individual garment dimension pieces 615, respectively. The web side edges 635 and 636 can typically be the garment lower edges 622 and 628 respectively in the finished garment 610, but the fabric is removed from the web side edges 635 and 636 or the web side edges ( It is to be understood that it can be added to 635 and 636 to produce respective garment lower edges 622 and 628 in the finished garment 610. The piece side edges 627 and 629 of the individual garment dimension pieces 615 become the garment side edges 620 and 625 and the garment side edges 621 and 626, respectively, in the finished garment 610. The garment side edges 620 and 625 and the garment side edges 621 and 626 formed by the cutting process have openings 645 cut in the garment side edges 620 and 625 and the garment side edges 621 and 626 respectively. It is positioned to create arm opening edges 648 and 650. 50 shows a die cutter 613 for cutting the web 614 of fabric into individual garment dimension pieces 615 and openings 645, but these processes are performed by separate apparatus at different stages of the manufacturing method. It should be understood that it can be.

In some embodiments of the invention, the web 614 of the fabric is cut into individual garment dimension pieces 615 prior to performing the process to create the arm openings 647 and 649. (See FIGS. 60, 63 and 64) A pair of opposing recesses 644 and 646 are cut at the garment side edges 620 and 625 and the garment side edges 621 and 626 of the individual garment dimension pieces 615, respectively. The locations of the opposing recesses 644 and 646 correspond to the arm openings 647 and 649 defined by the arm opening edges 648 and 650 of the finished garment 610, respectively. Opposing recesses 644 and 646 may be manufactured by a die cutting process, an ultrasonic process, or any other suitable process. The material removed from the opposing recesses 644 and 646 can be removed by any method known in the art, preferably by a vacuum source (not shown).

Opposing recesses 644 and 646 can vary in size and shape, such as slits, circles, ovals, triangles, squares, rectangles, polyhedrons, asymmetries, or irregularities. The pattern of opposing recesses 644 and 646 is limited only by the minimum amount and fashion of the web 614 of the fabric that must maintain sufficient integrity to withstand the remaining steps or processes of the manufacturing method. The arm openings 647 and 649, alternatively the opposing recesses 644 and 646, may or may not be similar in shape, structure, size, or the like in the finished garment 610.

In some embodiments, the process of cutting opposing recesses 644 and 646 (or, alternatively, opening 645) in individual garment dimension pieces 615 (or web 614 of the fabric) can be eliminated. The pattern of the garment 610 is limited only by the minimum amount and fashion of the individual garment dimension piece 615 (or the web 614 of the fabric) that must maintain sufficient integrity to withstand the remaining processes or steps of the manufacturing method. Thus, a process is required to cut opposing recesses 644 and 646 (or openings 645) in garment side edges 620 and 625 and garment side edges 621 and 626 (or web 614 of fabric). The garment 610 can simply be devised so that it does not. As discussed above, arm openings 647 and 649 may be created by not attaching portions of garment side edges 620 and 625 and garment side edges 621 and 626, respectively.

A repeating series of openings 664 are cut in the web 614 of the fabric by a die cutter 613. The position of the opening 664 corresponds to the neck opening 665 in the finished garment 610. The opening 664 can be made by a die cutting process, an ultrasonic process, or any other suitable method of process. 50 shows a die cutter 613 for cutting the opening 664 and the opening 645, but these cutting processes (also cutting the opposing recesses 644 and 646) are different steps of the manufacturing method. It should be understood that the process can be performed by a separate device. The material removed from the opening 664 can be removed by any method known in the art, preferably by a vacuum source (not shown). The openings 664 can vary in size and shape, such as slits, circles, ovals, triangles, squares, rectangles, polyhedrons, asymmetries, or irregularities. The pattern of the openings 664 is limited only by the minimal amount and fashion of the web 614 of fabric that must maintain sufficient integrity to withstand the remaining steps or processes of the manufacturing method.

In a typical garment 610 the opening 664 is centered between a pair of opposing arm openings 647 and 649 (or, alternatively, a pair of opposing recesses 644 and 646), but a pair of arm openings 647 And 649) (or, alternatively, the location of the openings 664 relative to the pair of opposing recesses 644 and 646) should only be sufficient to maintain the integrity of the fabric to withstand the remaining steps or processes of the manufacturing method ( 614) (or, alternatively, only a minimal amount and fashion of individual garment dimension pieces 615). For example, the position of the opening 664 between the pair of opposing arm openings 647 and 649 can be located symmetrically or asymmetrically.

The web 614 of the fabric each contains at least one opening 664, a pair of arm openings 647 and 649, a pair of opposing web side edges 635 and 636 and opposing garment distal ends 639 and 640. Individual garment dimension pieces are cut by die cutter 613 into pieces 615. The position of the opposing web side edges 635 and 636 of the web 614 of the fabric (or, alternatively, the individual garment dimensional pieces 615) is determined by the garment lower edge 622 of the front panel 618 in the finished garment 610. ) And lower garment edge 628 of rear panel 624. The web side edges 635 and 636 of the web 614 of fabric (or, alternatively, the individual garment dimension pieces 615) may typically be the garment lower edges 622 and 628 in the finished garment 610. The fabric is removed from the web side edges 635 and 636 of the web 614 (or, alternatively, the individual garment dimension pieces 615) of the fabric or added to the web side edges 635 and 636 to complete the garment ( It is to be understood that the garment lower edges 622 and 628 can be created at 610. Opposing garment distal ends 639 and 640 are adjacent to garment lower edge 622 of front panel 618 and garment lower edge 628 of rear panel 624 in the finished garment 610.

Each individual garment dimension piece 615 of the web 614 of fabric is typically conveyed by a vacuum screen, belt, or conveyor to go through a hem waiting, folding and fastening process (not shown). The folding process is preferably carried out by tuckers and folders and any other known means. Individual garment dimension pieces 615 of the web 614 of fabric are folded by a folder 619 such that the garment side edge 620 of the front panel 618 is folded or the garment side edge 625 of the rear panel 624. Opposing garment distal ends 639 and 640 are joined to contact with. The garment side edge 621 of the front panel 618 is folded or in contact with the garment side edge 626 of the rear panel 624.

The occlusion of the garment side edge 620 and the garment side edge 625 and the garment side edge 621 and the garment side edge 626 form garment side seams 631 and 632 of the garment 610, respectively. It may be desirable to rearrange (or reorient) the individual garment dimension pieces 615 of the web 614 of the fabric to facilitate engagement of the garment side seams 631 and 632 of the garment 610. The redirection process is preferably carried out by turn rolls and turn tables and any other known means. Individual garment dimension pieces 615 of the web 614 of the fabric may be 90 degrees reoriented (not shown).

In various embodiments of the invention, one or both of the garment side seams 631 and 632 may be comprised of non-refastenable seams or refastenable seams. Any excess material of the web 614 of the fabric can be removed from the edges of the garment side seams 631 and 632 to clean and smooth the garment side seams 631 and 632. Non-refastenable garment side seams 631 and 632 may be formed by any suitable means such as ultrasonic closure, adhesive bonding, tape, heat closure, sewing, or any fastening method known in the art. (Sewing device 884 is shown in Figure 50.) Non-refastenable garment side seams 631 and 632 may be configured continuously or intermittently.
