2. Moulded Zippers These zippers of the teeth are produced by injection moulding using high grade engineering plastic materials. 3. Metal Zippers The teeth of the zippers are stamped out of metal strips such as brass, aluminum, bronze or nickel silver alloys. The constructions of metal zippers are shown in Figure 13.6. Fig. 13.6 Construction of a typical stamped Metal Teeth (Source: www.ansun.com) 4. Innovative Zippers Due to the specific performances of textile and clothing, requirement of specialty zippers are also necessary to meet the functional performance of the garements. As a result, innovations were made to produce novel types of zippers. Few of the innovative zippers are given below. • Flame-resistant zippers • Airtight …show more content…
Weaving of textile fabric – The cotton or some other blended yarn in warp and weft are used for weaving a narrow fabric with a high speed needle loom t produce a woven edge braiding. Before the complete edge braiding of zipper must be through weaving, cutting and winding processes. Zipper chain forming – The resin (if it is polyester) is fed into the injection moulding machine to form a zigzag line. Zipper slide head and end stopper – metal or aluminium alloy is fed into the die casting machine to produce a slider and end stopper with required size and shapes. Sawing and Fitting – The textile fabric and zipper chain are attached together by means of sawing machine. Then the slider, top and bottom stopper of zipper are fitted and …show more content…

It could be manufactured from an extensive variety of materials, such as natural materials like antler, bone, horn, vegetable ivory, ivory, shell, and wood; or synthetics like celluloid, bakelite, glass, metal and plastic. Hard plastic is the most common material for manufacturing of buttons (Carr & Latham 2006). 13.1.2.1 Types of buttons • Shank buttons have a small ring or a bar with a hole known as shank projecting from the back of the button, through which sewing thread is sewn to join the button as shown in Figure
...he forge. The other half had the ends of each link flattened and then had holes punched in them. As the mail shirt was assembled a punched ring was linked to four of the welded rings, a rivet was put through the hole to close the link. Finally the whole mail shirt was likely to have been 'oil tempered' to make it stronger and give a small degree of rust-proofing.
Through out the ages some of the most impressive feats of blanket weaving has been produced by the Navajo people. One of the most beautiful styles that the Navajo created are the "chief blankets". These blankets have played a extremely important role in the survival of their people with the coming of Western society and are still continued to be made to this day
The attire of the period had variants sometimes when it came to age, social class, economic position, and even job placement. These factors made a difference in style of clothing, style of sleeves, choice of fabric, and amount of fabric used in a garment. A rich woman might buy very expensive brocade for her dress where a poorer woman might simply buy a singular colored wool or cotton. When the war arrived, cotton and silk increased, making it harder to obtain (Mitchell 4). It was these fabrics; wool, silk, muslin, linen, etc., that made the weight of the whole outfit so heavy and awkward.
Finally, the third change involves the utility uniform itself, also known as “cammies”, giving it a complete makeover. The current cammie design for all branches of the Armed Forces is over twenty years old. The textile industry has made many advances in the production of clothing providing more comfort and durability. Revolutionary advances within the clothing industry, Velcro and zippers, are being tested on the new cammie uniform.
Bulletproof clothing is the most interesting thing I have ever seen in my life. There is not really a problem of bulletproof clothing besides it is very expensive to make it. It is very expensive just because of the materials. The materials are spider-silk, vectran and Kevlar. The history of bulletproof has been worn for thousands of years. Even the medieval Europe worn body armor. By the 1500’s, they changed the development of cannons and guns. Bulletproof in the encyclopedia means the protection of bullets, knives and puncture wounds. They have made antiballistic protective clothing. The material of it is single layer or multilayer package. The bulletproof clothing basically looks like a very strong net.

Silk can be produced from other insects but moth caterpillars are the main contributor to the textile manufacturing of silk since they create a much smoother and finer fabric (Silk History, n.d.). The cocoons are raised by the farmer and are delivered to the factory, or filature, where the silk is unwound from the cocoons and the threads are collected into coils. When the filature receives the cocoons they must sort them according to color, size, shape, and texture. They then put t...

Weaving is a common thread among cultures around the world. Weaving is a way of producing cloth or textile. Today we have machines that weave large-scale textiles at cheap prices. Production of cloth by hand is rarely engaged in today’s Westernized societies. Not many people are thinking about how the fibers are actually constructed to make their clothes. However, in other cultures across the world the tradition of weaving still exists. By comparing three cultures that continue weaving as a part of their tradition we can see similarities and the differences between them. The reasons that each culture still weaves vary, as do the methods and materials. The desired characteristics of the cloth also vary around the world as each culture values different aesthetics.

The story behind the birth of jeans emerges from an interesting collaboration between an innovative tailor and a bright businessman. In 1853, Levi Strauss established a whole dry goods business in San Francisco, selling clothing and many other products to small general stores all through the west of America. One of many regular costumers was Jacob Davis, a tailor in Reno Nevada, who used to purchase his work material from the whole sale house of Levi Strauss & Co. At some point, Davis invented the process to rivet the pocket corners on men’s pants to make them stronger. Having earned great success, Davis decides to write to Levi Strauss, suggesting that they jointly apply for a patent; and Levi agreed. Consequently, in 1873, Levi Strauss & Jacob Davis are granted a patent on the process of riveting pants by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on May 20. It is patent number 139,121 and this is the invention of the blue jeans.
INTRODUCTION: As a retail major at Florida State, I have been able to learn a lot about my love for fashion. One thing that is true about me is that I love to understand the origins behind different subjects, whether that is my family or, in this case, piece of clothing. Perfectly tying those two worlds together, I am going to be talking about the origins of denim jeans. First I will go over the history, then I will go over how jeans became popular, and lastly I will talk
Due to James Kay’s invention of the flying shuttle, there was a great imbalance in the 1730’s between weavers and spinners. Kay made it possible for weavers to quickly produce the amount of fabric that was demanded, but the spinners were still unable to make thread t...
First of all, the fibres can classified as natural or man-made fibres. Natural fibres are those obtained from the natural resources on the environment, whereas the man-made fibres could be synthetic or regenerated fibres. Synthetic fibres are completely made from chemicals while regenerated fibres are those originally from natural resources unsuitable to be used as fibres directly, processed chemically to be changed into textile fibres. In this assignment, we will study on the general textile manufacturing processes as listed below. Then, it is hoped that the knowledge on general process could help us understand more on the industry as well to relate it with the environment.
From 2005 the textile segment has been made up of 2 companies, transforming raw materials into fabrics, from spinning to finishing and ennobling. Handicraft product quality and technological research development characterize this business segment which works with internationally recognized names of the apparel and fashion industry.
