Abstract

A blister or composite fabric formed from a double layer jersey knitted fabric, which is sewn with a needle to produce yarn-derived filaments and / or fiber interconnects extending in and / or between adjacent layer yarns .

Description

  The present invention relates to a fabric having interconnecting elements that help stabilize the fabric structure.

  Many methods have been used to stabilize the structure of knitted or woven fabrics. The coating has been applied to prevent the yarn from moving. However, the coating alone cannot give the fabric further desired properties. Recently, a process known as hydroentanglement has been used to stabilize woven fabrics. Hydroentanglement uses a fluid jet to force a fiber extending from the main body of a yarn to entangle with a fiber extending from the main body of another yarn.

  However, hydroentanglement can sometimes affect the aesthetics of the fabric due to the large number of free fibers necessary to create entanglement with a fluid jet. Accordingly, there is a need for fabrics that have been stabilized by other methods and for specific methods for stabilizing the fabrics.

(Detailed explanation)
Referring now to the drawings (particularly FIGS. 1-2), a blister fabric 10 illustrating one embodiment of the present invention is shown. The blister cloth 10 has alternating bands of blister bands 100 and base bands 200.

  Still referring to FIG. 2, the fibers forming one of the lower blister layer connections 131 originate from the yarns in the lower blister layer 110 and then protrude into the upper blister layer 120. The fibers derived from the lower blister layer 110 forming the lower blister layer connecting portion 131 are fixed by fibers or filaments in the main body of the yarn in the upper blister layer 120. The portion of the fibers forming the lower blister layer connection 131 is fixed between the fibers in the main body of the yarn in the upper blister layer 120. The main body is a group of fibers oriented in substantially the same direction as the yarn itself. Another portion of the fibers forming the lower blister layer connection 131 is fixed between the yarns of the upper blister layer 120 by the fibers in the main body of those yarns. The fibers forming one of the upper blister layer connections 132 originate from the yarns in the upper blister layer 120 and then protrude into the lower blister layer 110. The fibers derived from the upper blister layer 120 forming the upper layer connecting portion 132 are fixed by the fibers or filaments in the main body of the yarn in the lower blister layer 110.

Another portion of the fibers forming the upper blister layer connection 132 is secured between the yarns of the lower blister layer 110 by the fibers in the main body of those yarns. These types of connections are generally from one yarn to the outside, and at least partially radially extending from one yarn to the outside, as experienced in many hydroentanglement methods for treating fabrics. Contrast with the connection formed between the yarn and the layer by entanglement with the fibers extending in the direction of and at least partially in the radial direction.

  Many lower blister layer connections 131 and upper blister layer connections 132 are loops of fibers from each source layer that insert into the corresponding receiving layer. The fiber loop makes two connections, each connection being half of the loop originating in the same yarn and then protruding into the same receiving layer. In some examples, the upper blister layer connection 131 and / or the lower blister layer connection 132 may be formed by portions of fibers that bind to each origin yarn at only one end. In some further examples, the fibers forming the upper blister layer connection 131 or the lower blister layer connection 132 joined at only one end are hooked, bent or looped at the free end.

  Many first layer connections 26 and second layer connections 27 are loops of fibers from each origin layer that insert into the corresponding receiving layer. The fiber loop makes two connections, each connection being half of the loop originating from the same yarn and then protruding into the same receiving layer. In some examples, the first layer connection 26 and / or the second layer connection 27 may be formed by portions of fibers that bind to each origin yarn at only one end. In some further examples, the fibers forming the first layer connection 26 or the second layer connection 27 bonded at only one end are hooked, bent or looped at the free end. And can be further secured with a corresponding layer of fibers with which the connection is entangled.

  In one embodiment, the composite fabric or the strip of composite fabric incorporated in the present invention secures the first layer to the second layer, depending on the required stability and fabric structure, totaling at least 1 square inch. There are about 275 total connections per round (the sum of both connections originating from and received by a particular layer), with a maximum of about 520,000 total connections per square inch. In a preferred embodiment, there are about 350 total connections per square inch to about 1,050 total connections per square inch, more preferably about 750 total connections per square inch. Exists.

  In one embodiment, the yarn forming the first or second layer of the composite fabric incorporated in the present invention has a minimum of at least about 1.1 total connections per inch of yarn, at most, securing the yarn. There are approximately 1,650 total connections per inch of yarn.

  In one manufacturing method of the present invention, a fabric to be further processed is formed and then subjected to a needling process. In one embodiment, the fabric may be a blister fabric formed by standard knitting or weaving techniques of filament yarn. The blister fabric includes a region having two separate layers of knitted material and a region of double layer jersey knitting having a yarn from one of the two separate layers sandwiched between layers of double layer jersey knitted fabric . In another embodiment, the fabric to be processed is two layers to be joined in a subsequent processing. At least one layer in the multilayer fabric to be processed is a knitted fabric and both layers may be a knitted fabric. In a preferred embodiment, the yarn forming the fabric being processed is a filament yarn. However, it is contemplated that the yarns can include staple fibers or can be spun fiber yarns with or without filaments.

  The formed fabric to be processed is sent to a needling machine that stitches the fabric with a needle by inserting the needle bed into the fabric. Typically, a needling machine inserts a needle into the fabric and pulls out the needle in a direction generally perpendicular to the surface of the fabric. The backing plate provides support to the fabric on the opposite side of the needle bed and has an opening that allows the needle to pass completely through the fabric. The needle can be inserted and withdrawn on either side of the fabric or on both sides of the fabric. By inserting the needle from only one side, the connection occurs only on the side where the needle of the fabric to be processed is inserted. If more needle insertions are required per square area than can be provided by a single insertion of the needle bed, the needle bed can be inserted more than once into a particular area of the fabric, or multiple A needle bed can be used and inserted into the same area.

  In one embodiment, the needling machine provides a relative motion between the needle bed and the cloth in the linear direction (machine direction) as the cloth moves through, through and out of the machine. A needle is inserted into the fabric so that it does not occur or does not occur. The lack of relative linear motion between the needle bed and the fabric can be achieved by moving the needle bed in the direction in which the fabric is carried as the needle is inserted into and removed from the fabric. After the fabric is sewn with a needle, the backside coating can be applied to the fabric by various known methods, such as knife coating, foam coating, lamination, spray coating, or other similar methods.

  Referring now to FIG. 4, a partially enlarged view of one embodiment of a needle 400 used in the present invention is shown. Needle 400 has a sharp end 410 and a notch 420 along the length of needle 400. The sharp end 410 of the needle 400 allows the needle 400 to pass through the thread and fabric layers. The notch 420 of the needle 400 picks up or “hooks” the yarn fibers as the needle 400 passes through the yarn and fabric layers. As the needle 400 continues to pass through the adjacent yarn and / or fabric layer, the fibers previously hooked by the notch 420 of the needle 400 are moved into the main body and / or fabric layer of the adjacent yarn. The movement of the fiber by the needle 400 stretches or pulls the fiber from the originating thread. For fibers having a free end near the needle 400, the fiber is in the adjacent yarn and / or fabric layer until the free end of the fiber passes through the notch 420 or the needle 400 reaches the end of its movement. Go about the notch 420 of the needle 400 until it is in position. For other fibres, the fibres pass through adjacent yarns and / or layers until the needle 400 reaches the end of its movement, or the tension in the fibres frees the fibres from the notches 420, or the fibres tear. Pass through. The portion of the fiber that follows the needle and becomes free or tears away from the needle places that portion of the fiber in the adjacent yarn and / or layer.

  The result is a direct positive movement of the yarn fibers and / or filament portions into the main body of the adjacent yarn and / or the fabric layer. Here, the fibers and / or filaments form anchors directly in the main body and / or fabric layer of the adjacent yarn. The fibers and / or filaments remaining in adjacent yarns form a connection between fabric layers or yarns of fabric layers. In contrast, methods such as hydroentanglement cause the fiber to be external to the main body of the yarn and entangled with the fiber external to another yarn, giving a less direct connection between the two components. Furthermore, hydroentanglement has a limited ability to provide stability to the filament yarn fabric. This is because there is little or no free end of the filament that can be freed from the main body of the yarn and / or the fabric layer and entangled with the free ends of the filaments from other yarns and / or layers.

[Example 1]
The invention can be better understood with reference to the following examples. The fabric is a blister fabric formed from two 1/200/48 yarns of different colors for the base yarn and 2/150/50 yarns for the blister yarn. The blister fabric is formed with a two-bed rotary knitting machine having a knitting pattern as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. On the back side of the fabric, two different colors are produced using two base yarns, knitted into alternating courses. Each yarn has 18 courses per inch (combined to about 36 courses per inch) and about 13 wales per inch (combined to about 26 wales per inch). Blister yarn is not knitted on the back of the fabric. On the surface of the fabric in the blister band, the blister yarn forms a jersey knitted fabric having about 32 courses per inch and about 28 wales per inch. Also on the surface, but in the base region, the two base yarns are knitted into alternating courses. Each yarn has about 18.25 courses per inch (combined to give about 36.5 courses per inch) and about 14 wales per inch (combined to give about 28 wales per inch) .

Subsequently, the blister cloth was needling processed to form connection portions in the cloth. Using a Dilo Hyperpunch Double Needle Loom (Dilo Manufacturing Co.), the fabric was needled with a needling motion with little or no machine direction relative motion between the fabric and the needle bed. The needle bed contained a Groz-Beckert F222 needle, a triangular needle with 6 notches (2 per corner corner of the needle). The needle bed was inserted into the fabric for a time sufficient to allow about 900 needle insertions per square centimeter of fabric. This needling process has been found to result in about 350 connections per square inch of fabric in the blister band. This was about 1.4 connections per inch of yarn and about 0.022 connections per inch of filament. The needled fabric was then back coated with about 3 oz / yd ² latex.

  For samples that were not sewn with needles and samples that were sewn with needles, the surface of the fabric was subjected to a Taber fray test according to SAE J948 for 200 cycles using an H-18 wheel having a 1000 gram weight. For fabrics that were not sewn with a needle, the surface of the fabric received a rating of 3.0. For a cloth sewn with a needle, the surface of the cloth obtained a score of 3.5.
