Engineered shoe or apparel

This invention describes a specialized fabric component for items like shoes or clothing. It's made from two distinct layers, both created by braiding yarns together. The first layer is a tube-like braid, and the second layer is also braided, but uses a stiffer type of yarn than the first layer.

Why it matters: Since 2022, improvements in automated braiding machinery and the availability of diverse performance yarns have likely made it more practical to precisely manufacture these multi-layered components with specific elastic properties.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedBraiding machinery, specific yarn properties, forming process
