GARMENT AND COVER COMBINATION TO AID IN USER MOBILITY

摘要

A combination of a machine knit first layer and a weave fabric second layer for reducing friction between the layers is provided. The machine knit first layer comprises an upper surface with a first vector and a lower surface with a second vector or it comprises an asperities vector and the weave fabric second layer has an upper surface having a long vector or an asperities vector and a short vector, and a lower surface. The upper or lower surface of the first layer is for contact with the upper surface of the second layer, and the orientation of the first or second vectors or the asperities vector relative to the long vector or asperities vector control the friction between the first and second layer, such that in use, the layers are oriented such that friction is reduced between the layers or friction is selectively reduced for only one of lateral or longitudinal movement.

1. A low friction combination comprising a garment and a sheet including a layer of a weave fabric, the garment comprising a machine knit fabric having a surface with a first vector or an asperities vector, the weave fabric comprising a surface having a long vector and a short vector, or an asperities vector, wherein at least a portion of the surface of the machine knit and a portion of the sheet are aligned at a vector angle of about 45 degrees to about 135 degrees to reduce friction between the garment and the sheet and a remainder of the sheet is aligned to increase friction between the garment and the sheet.
