Abstract

A method includes drawing each multiple partially oriented polyester yarn from a corresponding supply package to form an oriented polyester yarn as a single multi-filament polyester weft yarn, inserting the multi-filament polyester weft yarn during a single pick insertion event of a pick insertion apparatus of a loom apparatus through winding the multi-filament polyester weft yarn on a single-pick yarn package, and conveying at least two of the multi-filament polyester weft yarn across a warp shed of the loom apparatus through a set of warp yarns in the single pick insertion event to form an incremental length of a woven textile fabric having a first surface with a majority of ends of the warp yarns and a second surface with a majority of picks of the multi-filament polyester weft yarn thereon. The method also includes solely abrading the second surface to provide for comfort to a user during contact therewith.

Claims (43)

1. A method of a woven textile fabric comprising:

drawing each of multiple partially oriented polyester yarns from a corresponding supply package to form an oriented polyester yarn therefrom as a single multi-filament polyester weft yarn;

inserting the multi-filament polyester weft yarn during a single pick insertion event of a pick insertion apparatus of a loom apparatus through winding the multi-filament polyester weft yarn on a single-pick yarn package, the pick insertion apparatus being at least one of an air jet pick insertion apparatus and a rapier pick insertion apparatus;

conveying, through the pick insertion apparatus, at least two of the multi-filament polyester weft yarn across a warp shed of the loom apparatus through a set of warp yarns in the single pick insertion event of the pick insertion apparatus to form an incremental length of the woven textile fabric having a first surface with a majority of ends of the warp yarns thereon and a second surface with a majority of picks of the multi-filament polyester weft yarn thereon; and

solely abrading the second surface of the woven textile fabric to provide for comfort to a user of the woven textile fabric during contact of the user with the second surface of the woven textile fabric.

2. The method of claim 1 , comprising solely abrading the second surface of the woven textile fabric through at least one of: peaching and sueding.

3. The method of claim 1 , comprising the warp yarns being made of a cotton material.

4. The method of claim 1 :

comprising the multi-filament polyester weft yarn having 10 to 30 filaments therein.

5. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

the woven textile fabric having a minimum tensile strength in a warp direction of 17 kilograms to 65 kilograms, and

the woven textile fabric having a minimum tensile strength in a weft direction of 11.5 kilograms to 100 kilograms.

6. The method of claim 1 , comprising the woven textile fabric having a warp-to-fill ratio of 1:2 to 1:4.

7. The method of claim 1 , comprising the multi-filament polyester weft yarn having a denier of one of: 15 to 35, 20 to 25 and 20 to 65.

8. A system comprising:

a textile fabric weaving apparatus comprising:

a multi-pick yarn package; and

a loom apparatus comprising a pick insertion apparatus and a warp shed,

wherein the loom apparatus receives a multi-filament polyester weft yarn inserted during a single pick insertion event of the pick insertion apparatus through the pick insertion apparatus winding the multi-filament polyester weft yarn on a single-pick yarn package, each of multiple partially oriented polyester yarns being drawn from a corresponding supply package to form an oriented polyester yarn therefrom as the multi-filament polyester weft yarn, and the pick insertion apparatus being at least one of an air jet pick insertion apparatus and a rapier pick insertion apparatus, and

wherein the pick insertion apparatus conveys at least two of the multi-filament polyester weft yarn across the warp shed through a set of warp yarns in the single pick insertion event of the pick insertion apparatus to form an incremental length of the woven textile fabric having a first surface with a majority of ends of the warp yarns thereon and a second surface with a majority of picks of the multi-filament polyester weft yarn thereon; and

an abrading mechanism solely abrading the second surface of the woven textile fabric to provide for comfort to a user of the woven textile fabric during contact of the user with the second surface of the woven textile fabric.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the abrading mechanism solely abrades the second surface of the woven textile fabric through at least one of: peaching and sueding.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the warp yarns are made of a cotton material.

11. The system of claim 8 :

wherein the multi-filament polyester weft yarn has 10 to 30 filaments therein.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein:

the woven textile fabric has a minimum tensile strength in a warp direction of 17 kilograms to 65 kilograms, and

the woven textile fabric has a minimum tensile strength in a weft direction of 11.5 kilograms to 100 kilograms.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the woven textile fabric has a warp-to-fill ratio of 1:2 to 1:4.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the multi-filament polyester weft yarn has a denier of one of: 15 to 35, 20 to 25 and 20 to 65.

15. A method of a woven textile fabric comprising:

drawing each of multiple partially oriented polyester yarns from a corresponding supply package to form an oriented polyester yarn therefrom as a single multi-filament polyester weft yarn;

inserting the multi-filament polyester weft yarn during a single pick insertion event of a pick insertion apparatus of a loom apparatus through winding the multi-filament polyester weft yarn on a single-pick yarn package, the pick insertion apparatus being at least one of an air jet pick insertion apparatus and a rapier pick insertion apparatus;

conveying, through the pick insertion apparatus, at least two of the multi-filament polyester weft yarn across a warp shed of the loom apparatus through a set of cotton warp yarns in the single pick insertion event of the pick insertion apparatus to form an incremental length of the woven textile fabric having a first surface with a majority of ends of the cotton warp yarns thereon and a second surface with a majority of picks of the multi-filament polyester weft yarn thereon; and

solely abrading the second surface of the woven textile fabric to provide for comfort to a user of the woven textile fabric during contact of the user with the second surface of the woven textile fabric.

16. The method of claim 15 , comprising solely abrading the second surface of the woven textile fabric through at least one of: peaching and sueding.

17. The method of claim 15 :

comprising the multi-filament polyester weft yarn having 10 to 30 filaments therein.

18. The method of claim 15 , comprising:

the woven textile fabric having a minimum tensile strength in a warp direction of 17 kilograms to 65 kilograms, and

the woven textile fabric having a minimum tensile strength in a weft direction of 11.5 kilograms to 100 kilograms.

19. The method of claim 15 , comprising the woven textile fabric having a warp-to-fill ratio of 1:2 to 1:4.

20. The method of claim 15 , comprising the multi-filament polyester weft yarn having a denier of one of: 15 to 35, 20 to 25 and 20 to 65.
