METHOD FOR MOLDING LOFTED MATERIAL WITH LAMINATED SUPPORT LAYER AND GARMENT MADE

摘要

A method for molding a lofted assembly having a lofted material and a laminated nylon support material the garment produced are provided. The meth od includes the steps of positioning a support fabric on a lofted material; laminating the support fabric to the lofted material to form a lofted assembly; positioning the lofted assembly in a molding apparatus having at least a first mold and a second mold, closing together the first mold and th e second mold thereby sandwiching the lofted assembly therebetween and while maintaining a uniform preset gap between said first mold and the second mold so that the inherent loft characteristics of the lofted assembly are substantially preserved.
