International Classification:

A41D 106

US Classification:

2227

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a continuous process for the manufacture of a shorts garment from four single layer webs of fabric, each web having two side edges. Two of the four webs are aligned in a side by side orientation. The side edges of the two webs are bonded together, defining a first composite web. The remaining two webs are aligned in a side by side orientation. The side edges of the two remaining webs are bonded together, defining a second composite web. The first and second composite webs are aligned together in a face to face orientation, defining an arrangement having two layers of fabric and two top side edges and two bottom side edges. The composite webs are intermittently bonded in an alternating orientation near the center of the webs. The interior portion of fabric is removed, defining a cavity. One pair of side edges are folded and bonded together.

International Classification:

A61B 900
B32B 3108

US Classification:

11247506

Abstract:

A method for producing a pant-type garment in which a first substantially rectangular fabric layer is placed on top of a second substantially rectangular fabric layer. The first substantially rectangular fabric layer is joined to the second substantially rectangular fabric layer, forming a multi-layer fabric. A crescent-shaped cutout section is cutout from the opposed multi-layer fabric edges of the multi-layer fabric, forming opposed tabs at each end of the opposed multi-layer fabric having a first tab and a second tab. The multi-layer fabric is cut transversely in half, forming two multi-layer fabric halves. Each of the multi-layer halves is folded longitudinally and the first tab and the second tab on one side of each of the multi-layer fabric halves is joined to the corresponding first tab and second tab on the opposed side of each respective multi-layer fabric half, forming two outside-in pant-like garments.
