Abstract

The present invention provides a layered product, which, when processed into a textile product by sewing, fusing, or the like, overcomes such a practical restriction that a knit must be used on the side to be subjected to a sealing treatment, makes the sealing treatment easier, has intact appearance and touch feeling, and is lightweight. The layered product comprises a flexible film and a woven fabric layered thereon at the side to be subjected to the sealing treatment in processing the layered product into the textile product. The layered product has a total cover factor (CF total ) from 700 to 1400, calculated from the cover factors of the warp and the weft constituting the woven fabric. CF total =CF m +CF t CF m : cover factor of warps CF t : cover factor of wefts

Claims (53)

1. A layered textile product comprising:

a flexible film;

a woven fabric laminated on the flexible film; and

a sealing tape comprising a hot melt resin on a surface of said woven fabric, said sealing tape covering a sewn portion of said layered textile product,

wherein said hot melt resin is impregnated into said surface of said woven fabric, and

wherein the woven fabric has a total cover factor (CF total ) from 700 to 1300, calculated from the cover factors of the warp and the weft constituting the woven fabric, according to the following formula:

CF total =CF m +CF t

CF m =√{square root over (F m )}×D m and

CF t =√{square root over (F t )}×D t , wherein

CF m : cover factor of the warp

CF t : cover factor of the weft

F m : fineness of the warp (dtex)

F t : fineness of the weft (dtex)

D m : density of the warp (counts/2.54 cm) and

D t : density of the weft (counts/2.54 cm).

2. The layered product according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the cover factor of the warp (CF m ) and the cover factor of the weft (CF t ) is in a range from 300 to 800.

3. The layered product according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the warp and the weft constituting the woven fabric is made of two or more filaments.

4. The layered product according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the warp and the weft constituting the woven fabric is a long-fiber.

5. The layered product according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the warp and the weft constituting the woven fabric is a textured yarn.

6. The layered product according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible film is a waterproof film.

7. The layered product according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible film is a waterproof and moisture-permeable film.

8. The layered product according to claim 7 , wherein the waterproof and moisture-permeable film is a porous film consisting of a hydrophobic resin.

9. The layered product according to claim 8 , wherein the porous film consisting of the hydrophobic resin has a hydrophilic resin layer on a side to which the woven fabric is laminated.

10. The layered product according to claim 9 , wherein the porous film consisting of the hydrophobic resin is a porous polytetrafluoroethylene film.

11. The layered product according to claim 9 , wherein the flexible film further comprises a cloth laminated on the side opposite to the side on which the woven fabric is laminated.

12. The layered product according to claim 8 , wherein the porous film consisting of the hydrophobic resin is a porous polytetrafluoroethylene film.

13. The layered product according to claim 12 , wherein the flexible film further comprises a cloth laminated on the side opposite to the side on which the woven fabric is laminated.

14. The layered product according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible film further comprises a cloth laminated on the side opposite to the side on which the woven fabric is laminated.

15. The layered product according to claim 1 , wherein a fineness of the filament is not more than 12 dtex.

16. The layered product according to claim 1 , wherein the woven fabric has a plain weave construction.

17. The layered product according to claim 1 , further comprising a cloth on said flexible film on a side opposing said woven fabric.

18. The layered textile product according to claim 1 , wherein fibers constituting said woven fabric are selected from the group consisting of natural fibers, synthetic fibers and combinations thereof.

19. The layered textile product according to claim 1 , wherein fibers constituting said woven fabric are synthetic fibers selected from polyamide fibers, polyester fibers, acrylic fibers, ceramic fibers, and metal fibers.

20. The layered textile product according to claim 1 , wherein the woven fabric has a construction selected from the group consisting of a twill weave, a satin weave, a plain weave and a rip-stop weave.

21. The layered textile product according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the warp and the weft constituting the woven fabric is made of two or more filaments and the fineness of said filaments is at least 5 dtex.

22. A layered textile product comprising:

a flexible film;

a woven fabric laminated on the flexible film; and

a sealing tape comprising a hot melt resin on a surface of said woven fabric, said sealing tape covering a sewn portion of said layered textile product,

wherein said hot melt resin is impregnated into said surface of said woven fabric,

wherein the woven fabric has a total cover factor (CF total ) from 700 to 1300, calculated from the cover factors of the warp and the weft constituting the woven fabric, according to the following formula:

CF total =CF m +CF t

CF m =√{square root over (F m )}×D m and

CF t =√{square root over (F t )}×D t , wherein

CF m : cover factor of the warp

CF t : cover factor of the weft

F m : fineness of the warp (dtex)

F t : fineness of the weft (dtex)

D m : density of the warp (counts/2.54 cm) and

D t : density of the weft (counts/2.54 cm),

wherein at least one of the warp and the weft constituting the woven fabric is made of two or more filaments and the fineness of the filament is at least 5 dtex,

wherein the woven fabric has a construction selected from the group consisting of a twill weave, a satin weave, a plain weave and a rip-stop weave.

23. The layered textile product according to claim 22 , wherein at least one of the warp and the weft constituting the woven fabric is a textured yarn.
