Patent ID: 11969040

Abstract:
A system for embroidering a flame-resistant emblem uses flame-resistant threads for both the primary thread and the bobbin thread, as well as any accompanying supplemental fabrics. The flame-resistant primary thread protects the embroidered portion of the underlying material from any direct flame exposure. The flame-resistant bobbin thread ensures that the embroidered pattern cannot fall off of a garment, further flameproofing both the garment and present invention. Furthermore, a backing may be provided as a mechanism for providing a stitchwork surface and for adding dimensionality to the pattern. The backing may also be made of fireproof threads. The apparatus may also be utilized for appending a flame-resistant patch or patches onto a garment. Such a mechanism allows for attachment of flame-resistant threadwork onto any clothing. The primary thread, bobbin thread, backing, and any other additional threads may utilize fire-resistant aramid fibers, which sufficiently fireproofs garments before deployment into potential fire exposure.
