Abstract

Garments and garment parts having soil and stain resistant and/or release properties, and methods for producing the same. An interlining of a garment is treated with a stain-resistant and/or stain-release coating and is located between two layers of the garment fabric. The interlining effectively repels soil and stains so that they are not trapped between the layers of the collar. The interlining also allows any soil and stains that do get absorbed by the interlining to be easily released when the garment is washed, thereby preventing “ring around the collar” (as well as stains in other areas) from forming on the garment.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A garment comprising an interlining located between two layers of fabric, wherein the interlining comprises a stain-resistant or stain-release coating.  
   
   
       2 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the stain-resistant or stain-release coating comprises a fluorinated polymer.  
   
   
       3 . The garment of  claim 2 , wherein the fluorinated polymer comprises Teflon™.  
   
   
       4 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the interlining is woven between the two layers of fabric.  
   
   
       5 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the interlining is fused between the two layers of fabric with an adhesive.  
   
   
       6 . The garment of  claim 5 , wherein the adhesive comprises a polyethylene adhesive.  
   
   
       7 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the garment comprises a neck band, collar, placket or cuff of a shirt or a waist band, lining or cuff of a trouser.  
   
   
       8 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the fabric comprises cotton, polyester, rayon, or combinations thereof.  
   
   
       9 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the interlining comprises a woven or non-woven material.  
   
   
       10 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the interlining comprises cotton, polyester, rayon, wood pulp, fiber mesh, or combinations thereof.  
   
   
       11 . A method for producing a garment having stain-resistant or stain-release properties comprising inserting an interlining between two layers of fabric, wherein the interlining comprises a stain-resistant or stain-release coating.  
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the stain-resistant or stain-release coating comprises a fluorinated polymer.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the fluorinated polymer comprises Teflon™.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the interlining is woven between the two layers of fabric.  
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the interlining is fused between the two layers of fabric with an adhesive.  
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the adhesive comprises a polyethylene adhesive.  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the garment comprises a neck band, collar, placket or cuff of a shirt or a waist band, lining or cuff of a trouser.  
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the fabric comprises cotton, polyester, rayon, or combinations thereof.  
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the interlining comprises a woven or non-woven material.  
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the interlining comprises cotton, polyester, rayon, wood pulp, fiber mesh, or combinations thereof.
