Insulated Garment Fabric Device

Abstract

The present invention relates generally to the field of garment fabrics. More specifically, the present invention relates to an insulated garment fabric device comprised of a front layer, a rear layer and a middle layer between the front and rear layer. The front and rear layers are preferably manufactured from a fabric material. The middle layer is preferably manufactured from an insulated material such as, but not limited to, biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate or heat conducting-foil. The front and rear layers may further be comprised of indicia and may be infused with a plurality of compounds. In addition, the device is comprised of a method of manufacture and use, wherein the device can be used to make garments and other objects such as, but not limited to: blankets.

         8 . The insulated garment fabric device of  claim 5 , wherein each of the front layer and the rear layer are waterproof. 
     
     
         9 . The insulated garment fabric device of  claim 5 , wherein the front layer and the rear layer are infused with at least one of a moisturizer, an anti-bacterial compound and a sunscreen. 
     
     
         10 . The insulated garment fabric device of  claim 5 , wherein the insulated material of the middle layer is manufactured from a group consisting of a biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate, a heat conducting-foil, a thermal insulation, a wool, a natural fiber, a natural down, a synthetic down or a plastic material. 
     
     
         11 . The insulated garment fabric device of  claim 5 , wherein the fastener secures the middle layer to each of the front layer and the rear layer. 
     
     
         12 . The insulated garment fabric device of  claim 5 , wherein the fastener secures the front layer to the rear layer. 
     
     
         13 . The insulated garment fabric device of  claim 5 , wherein the fastener is a select one of a hook and loop fastener, a snap-button fastener, an adhesive fastener, a tie fastener and a stitch fastener. 
     
     
         14 . The insulated garment fabric device of  claim 5 , wherein the front layer is comprised of a first indicia. 
     
     
         15 . The insulated garment fabric device of  claim 5 , wherein the rear layer is comprised of a second indicia. 
     
     
         16 . A method of manufacturing an insulated garment fabric device, the method comprising the steps of:
 positioning a middle layer between a front layer and a rear layer;   securing the front layer to the rear layer via a fastener; and   using the middle layer, the front layer and the rear layer to create the insulated garment fabric device.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16  further comprising a step of using the fastener to secure the middle layer to each of the front layer and the rear layer.
