MINERAL COMPOUND COMPOSITE TEXTILE MATERIAL AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE

Abstract: A composite fiber (12) made from natural and/or synthetic fibers having mineral compounds (14) such as gemstones, colors and wavelengths, piezoelectric crystals and magnets whereby fabrics (10) can be placed against the body, such as the longitudinal lines of acupuncture points call meridian, the chakra system and/or circulator systems for the purpose of transporting and channeling energy. The methods of combining the gemstones with the natural/synthetic fibers include encasing the mineral compounds within the natural/synthetic fibers by bonding the mineral compounds to the natural/synthetic fibers or laminating the mineral compound or compounds to the natural/synthetic fibers.

Description: MINERAL COMPOUND COMPOSITE TEXTILE MATERIAL AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE Description Technical Field The present invention relates generally to composite threads and, more specifically, to imbuing fabrics or cloths with mineral compounds such as gemstones, colors and wavelengths, piezoelectric crystals and magnets whereby said fabrics can be placed against the longitudinal lines of acupuncture points of the human body called meridians and chakras for the purpose of channeling vibratory energetic reactions. Disclosure of the Invention A primary object of the present invention is to provide fabrics that can be used to make clothing or furniture coverings used by humans. Another object of the present invention is to provide fabrics such as cotton, wool, silk or manmade fibers having mineral compounds, gemstones, and/or magnets forming an integral part of said materials. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a fabric that can be used to place magnets, gemstones, colors and wavelengths and/or piezoelectric crystals against the human body, such as the longitudinal lines of acupuncture points called the meridians and /or chakra system. Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a composite fiber containing silica quartz crystals that have been faceted, crushed and/ or powdered. Another object of the present invention is to provide a composite fiber having natural fibers encompassing the crystal material. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a composite fiber having mineral compounds forming a sheath around natural and/or synthetic fibers. Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a composite fiber having mineral compounds speckled onto natural and/or synthetic fibers forming an integral part therewith. Additional objects of the present invention will appear as the description proceeds. Brief Description of the Drawings In order that the invention may be more fully understood, it will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: FIGURE 1 is a sectional view of a mineral compound encased fiber of the present invention; FIGURE 2 is a sectional view of the laminated fiber of the present invention; FIGURE 3 is a sectional view of the blended fiber of the present invention; FIGURE 4 is a flow chart of the manufacturing process for producing a composite fiber having a mineral compound core; FIGURE 5 is a flow chart of the manufacturing process for producing a composite fiber having a natural/synthetic fiber core; and FIGURE 6 is a flow chart of the manufacturing process for producing a composite fiber having mineral compounds and natural/synthetic fiber forming an integral part therewith. 10 mineral compound composite textile material 12 fiber 14 mineral compound 16 cohesive agent 18 fiber-encased mineral compound 19 mineral compound core 20 extrusion mixture 22 mineral compound laminated fiber 23 resin 24 fibrous core 26 composite fiber speckled with mineral compound Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment Turning now descriptively to the drawings, in which similar reference characters denote similar elements throughout the several views. With regard to the reference numerals used, the following numbering is used throughout the various drawing figures. Figure 1 is an illustration the mineral compound composite textile material 10 as a fiber-encased mineral compound 18 having mineral compounds 14 such as piezoelectric crystals, gemstones, colors and wavelengths and/or magnets encased within natural or synthetic fibers 12 such as cotton, wool , silk, hemp, jute, animal fur, or synthetic fibers. The yarn while having the outward feel and appearance of the exterior fibers would encase the properties of the enclosed minerals. The yarn can be used in weaving or knitting fabrics used in fashion wear or interior/exterior decor; Figure 2 is an illustration of a mineral compound composite textile material 10 as a mineral compound laminated fiber 22 manufactured having natural or synthetic fibers such as cotton, wool, silk, hemp, jute, animal fur, or synthetic fibers 12 encased within mineral compounds 14 such as piezoelectric crystals, gemstones, colors and wavelengths and/or magnets. The mineral compound laminated fiber 22 would have the appearance of the mineral compounds 14 while having the flexibility of the interior fibers 12. Figure 3 is an illustration of mineral compound composite textile material 10 as a composite fiber speckled with mineral compounds 26 dispersed within fibers 12. The processed mineral compound 26 has been blended with the cohesive agent 16 to form a slurry that was either applied to the fibers 12 or the fibers 12 had been bathed therein. Figure 4 is a flow chart of the manufacturing process for producing a fiber encased mineral compound 18. The fiber 12 is used to encase a mineral compound 14 that is combined with a cohesive agent 16 to create an extrudable mixture 20 which forms a mineral compound core 19. Figure 5 is a flow chart of the manufacturing process for producing a mineral compound laminated fiber 22. The mineral compound 14 is combined with a cohesive agent 16 to form a resin 23 that can be applied to the fibers 12 which then form a fibrous core 24. The resin 23 may include magnetic particles and/or piezoelectric crystals that are believed by many to have therapeutic properties. Figure 6 is a flow chart of the manufacturing process for producing a composite fiber speckled with one or more mineral compounds 26 wherein the mineral compound 14 is combined with a cohesive agent 16 to form a slurry that can be applied to fibers 12 or the fibers 12 could be run through a bath whereupon an amount of mineral compounds 14 will bond with the fibers 12. The slurry may include magnetic particles and/or piezoelectric crystals that are believed to have therapeutic properties.
