Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a natural, regenerated, sustainable fabric and more particularly pertains to a natural, regenerated, sustainable fabric and method of production that allows making home textile products of a fabric that is natural, regenerated, and sustainable.


Description of the Prior Art

The use of fabrics and methods of producing fabrics of known designs and configurations is known in the prior art. More specifically, fabrics and methods of producing fabrics of known designs and configurations previously devised and utilized for the purpose of making home textile products are known to consist basically of familiar, expected, and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which has been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.


While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, they do not describe a natural, regenerated, sustainable fabric and method of production that allows making home textile products of a fabric that is natural, regenerated, and sustainable.


In this respect, the natural, regenerated, sustainable fabric according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus and method primarily developed for a the production of a natural, regenerated, sustainable fabric that allows making home textile products of a fabric that is natural, regenerated, and sustainable.


Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing need for a new and improved natural, regenerated, sustainable fabric which can be used for the production of a natural, regenerated, sustainable fabric and method of production that allows making home textile products of a fabric that is natural, regenerated, and sustainable. In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the disadvantages inherent in the known types of fabrics and methods of producing fabrics of known designs and configurations now present in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved natural, regenerated, sustainable fabric. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved natural, regenerated, sustainable fabric and method which has all the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.


To attain this, from a broad perspective, the present invention essentially comprises a natural, regenerated, sustainable fabric fabricated of a primary yarn and a secondary yarn. The primary yarn is twisted from shredded recycled jeans and natural fibres. The secondary yarn includes natural fibres. The primary and secondary yarns are woven to constitute a warp yarn and a weft yarn of the fabric. The method of producing the fabric includes the steps of: shredding post consumer used jeans into fibre, blending the shredded post consumer jeans fibre with either dobe dyed or undyed natural fibre, the fibre selected from the class of fibres including Tencel®, cotton, and viscose; spinning yarn from this blended fibre into a single yarn; weaving fabric from the blended yarn with other natural yarn into fabric; washing the fabric to remove impurities and treating and recycling the water; and using the fabric to make textile products.


There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims attached.


In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIG. 1 thereof, the preferred embodiment of the new and improved natural, regenerated, sustainable fabric embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.


The present invention, the natural, regenerated, sustainable fabric 10 is comprised of a plurality of components. Such components in their broadest context include a primary yarn and a secondary yarn woven to constitute a warp yarn and a weft yarn of the fabric. Such components are individually configured and correlated with respect to each other so as to attain the desired objective.


From a specific perspective, the invention of the present application is a fabric 10 for use in making home textile products. The products include bedding 30, pillows, throws, curtains 32, kitchen fabrics, and the like. The fabric is natural, regenerated, and sustainable. The fabric is fabricated of a primary yarn 16 and a secondary yarn. The primary yarn is twisted from shredded recycled jeans 18 and natural fibres 20. The secondary yarn includes natural fibres. The primary yarn and the secondary yarn are woven of a warp yarn 14 and weft yarn 12. The weft yarn is a blended yarn twisted from a threaded recycled yarn 18 and natural fibres 20. The primary yarn originated from shredded recycled pre-twisted jeans 22 and natural fibres. The secondary yarn is formed of natural fibres. The natural fibres are chosen from the class of natural fibres including cotton, Tencel®, viscose, and blends thereof. The warp yarn is formed of a natural fibre. The natural fibre is chosen from the class of natural fibres including cotton, Tencel®, viscose, and blends thereof. The natural fibres of the weft yarn are dobe dyed 26 during the twisting of the primary yarn and the secondary yarn. The shredded recycled jeans in the primary yarn are from 8 ne and 40 ne. The shredded recycled jeans in the primary yarn are from 15 percent and 40 percent of the primary yarn.


The present invention includes a method of creating a fabric woven of a warp yarn and weft yarn. The method includes the following steps. The first step is shredding post consumer used jeans into fibre. The next step is blending the shredded post consumer jeans fibre with either dobe dyed or undyed natural fibre. The fibre is selected from the class of fibres including Tencel®, cotton, and viscose. The next step is spinning yarn from this blended fibre into a single yarn. The next step is weaving fabric from the blended yarn with other natural yard into fabric. The next step is washing the fabric to remove impurities and treating and recycling the water. The final step is using the fabric to make textile products.


As to the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided.


With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.


Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
