FABRIC MATERIAL
First Claim
1. A fabric material, comprising:
- a plurality of strands of a warp yarn positioned in a warp direction;
a plurality of strands of a first filling yarn positioned in a filling direction, each of said plurality of strands of said first filling yarn being impregnated by silver ions; and
a plurality of strands of a second filling yarn positioned in said filling direction each of said plurality of strands of said second filling yarn being impregnated by copper ions,wherein said plurality of strands of said warp yarn are woven with said plurality of strands of said first filling yarn and said plurality of strands of said second filling yarn to form a face side and a back side opposite said face side, andwherein each of said plurality of stands of said first filling yarn and each of said plurality of strands of said second filling yarn are woven alternately relative to one another with said plurality of strands of said warp yarn in said filling direction.

Abstract
A fabric material including a plurality of strands of a warp yarn positioned in a warp direction, a plurality of strands of a first filling yarn positioned in a filling direction, each being impregnated by silver ions, and a plurality of strands of a second filling yarn positioned in the filling direction, each being impregnated by copper ions. The strands of said warp yarn are woven with those of the first and second filling yarns to form a face side and a back side, and the strands of the first and second filling yarns are woven alternately relative to one another with the strands of said warp yarn in said filling direction. The fabric material may be a satin, plain or twill pattern, and can be used as a bed sheet having a low coefficient of friction, wickability, absorbency, and “cool to the touch” properties.

17. A method for making a fabric material, comprising the steps of:
-
weaving a plurality of strands of a warp yarn in a warp direction with a plurality of strands of a first filling yarn impregnated with silver ions in a filling direction and a plurality of strands of a second filling yarn impregnated with copper ions in said filling direction, wherein each of said plurality of stands of said first filling yarn and each of said plurality of strands of said second filling yarn are alternately woven with said plurality of strands of said warp yarn in said filling direction; scouring said fabric material to remove external matter; conditioning said fabric material in order to soften it; drying said fabric material; and calendaring said fabric material to smoothen it. - View Dependent Claims (18)
