LIGHT WOVEN SHEET
A woven sheet that is lightweight and breathable, while also being a durable, long-lasting type. The lightweight woven sheet comprises a dynamic grid construction that allows moisture vapor to escape while preserving durability of the sheet. The sheet includes a first section including a first type of weave having a first grid pattern and a second section including a second type of grid having a second grid pattern. The first weave is an open-weave, which makes the sheet breathable and lowers the overall weight of the sheet, while the second weave is a plain weave that provides durability to the overall sheet.
1 . A woven sheet comprising,
a first section comprising a first weave having a first grid pattern; and
a second section comprising a second weave having a second grid pattern, the second section is coupled to the first section;
wherein an area of first section is greater than an area of the second section;
wherein the first grid pattern is less dense than the second grid pattern;
wherein the first weave contributes most to an air permeability characteristic of the woven sheet; and
wherein the second weave contributes most to a durability characteristic of the woven sheet.
2 . The woven sheet of claim 1 , wherein the second weave is a plain weave.
3 . The woven sheet of claim 2 , wherein the second grid pattern is a 1-by-1 grid pattern.
4 . The woven sheet of claim 1 , wherein the first weave is a dobby weave.
5 . The woven sheet of claim 4 , wherein the first pattern is a 2-by-2 grid pattern.
6 . The woven sheet of claim 1 , wherein the air permeability characteristic of the first section is about 304 cubic feet per minute or greater.
7 . The woven sheet of claim 1 , wherein a weight characteristic of the woven sheet is about 85 grams per square meter or less.
8 . The woven sheet of claim 1 , wherein the first section comprises a first geometric pattern and a second geometric pattern.
9 . The woven sheet of claim 1 , wherein the first section and the second section are directly connected.
10 . The woven sheet of claim 1 , wherein the first section and the second section comprise a lyocell fiber.
11 . A woven sheet comprising:
a first section having a 2-by-2 dobby weave; and
a second section having a 1-by-1 plain weave, the first section contacting the second section,
wherein an area of first section is greater than an area of the second section; and
wherein the first section and the second section both comprise a lyocell fiber.
12 . A method of making a woven sheet, the method comprising the steps of:
weaving a first section using a first weave having a first grid pattern; and
weaving a second section using a second weave having a second grid pattern, the second section coupled to the first section;
wherein an area of first section is greater than an area of the second section;
wherein the first grid pattern is less dense than the second grid pattern;
wherein the first weave contributes most to an air permeability characteristic of the woven sheet; and
wherein the second weave contributes most to a durability characteristic of the woven sheet.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the second weave is a plain weave.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the second grid pattern is a 1-by-1 grid pattern.
15 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the first weave is a dobby weave.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the first pattern is a 2-by-2 grid pattern.
17 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the air permeability characteristic is equal or greater than about 304 cubic feet per minute.
18 . The method of claim 12 , wherein a weight characteristic of the woven sheet is equal or less than about 85 grams per square meter.
19 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the first section comprises a first geometric pattern and a second geometric pattern.
20 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the first section and the second section are connected directly.
21 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the first section and the second section comprise a lyocell fiber.
