Patent ID: 8230886

Claim:
A process for manufacturing a sweatband, the process comprising: providing at least a warp, at least a weft, and at least an elastic fiber, wherein the warp, the weft, and the elastic fiber are separate; the warp and the weft are non-elastic fibers; weaving the elastic fiber, the warp, and the weft together in a warp direction to form a first section having a first weaving density, wherein the elastic fiber weaved extends in the warp direction; weaving the elastic fiber, the warp and the weft together in the warp direction to form a second section having a second weaving density, wherein the elastic fiber weaved extends in the warp direction; separating the elastic fiber from the warp and the weft, and weaving the warp and the weft together in the warp direction to form a third section; rejoining the elastic fiber with the warp and the weft to form a fourth section after the third section is formed; cutting off the separated elastic fiber between the second section and the fourth section; and weaving the elastic fiber, the warp and the weft together in the warp direction to form a fifth section after the fourth section is formed; wherein the fifth section and the fourth section are different in weaving density; wherein the second weaving density of the second section is larger than the first weaving density of the first section, and the second section is connected between the first section and the third section in the warp direction without a sewing portion.
