Dynamic Materials Integrated Into Articles For Adjustable Physical Dimensional Characteristics
US Patent:
2014005, Feb 27, 2014
Filed:
Aug 27, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/011221
Inventors:
Patrick Williams - Beaverton OR, US
Assignee:
Nike, Inc. - Beaverton OR
International Classification:
A41D 1/00
US Classification:
2 69
Abstract:
Aspects of the present invention relate to systems and methods of integrating dynamic materials into articles for adjustable physical characteristics (e.g., aesthetic, functional). For example, in response to a human's body heat, a dynamic material may change shape to allow additional permeability in an article of clothing. Similarly, in response to the presence of moisture, an article of clothing may close a vent to prevent the introduction of rain into an internal portion of the article. The shape changing material may change shape that merely affects a feature formed by the shape changing material. Additionally, it is contemplated that the shape changing material may change shape that affects a geometric structure of the article as a whole (e.g., protrusions, dimples, vents, etc.).

Environmentally Responsive Fibers And Garments
US Patent:
2013034, Dec 26, 2013
Filed:
Jun 22, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/531151
Inventors:
Patrick Williams - Beaverton OR, US
Assignee:
Nike, Inc. - Beaverton OR
International Classification:
D01F 8/14, A41D 13/00, D03D 15/00
US Classification:
442196, 428373, 264103
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a dynamic fiber capable of changing in response to external stimuli. The fiber in accordance with the present invention undergoes a radial symmetric change. The fiber in accordance with the present invention may be heat sensitive, moisture sensitive, magnetic field sensitive, electromagnetic field sensitive, etc. Fibers in accordance with the present invention may be incorporated into yarns that may be knitted or woven into textiles/fabrics. Garments or other articles of manufacture may be formed from textiles/fabrics incorporating dynamic fibers, permitting the properties of garments to alter in response to environmental conditions.
