Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tubular tape for clothing which is sewn to clothing such as brassieres and girdles with a wire or the like inserted inside.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to enhance the effect of underwear for shaping a body such as a bra, a girdle, and a corset, an elastic body such as a wire, a beard, a plastic, or the like is often used. For example, as a brassiere, as shown in FIG. 4, there are widely used brassiere types in which arc-shaped wires 2 are sewn into the lower edges of the left and right cups 1 and the cup 1 is lifted from below to adjust the shape of the chest. On the market.

To sew the wire 2 as described above, the wire 2 is inserted into a thin tubular tape, and when the cloth is sewn,
The tape is applied from the back side and the tape edge is sewn to the cloth. As the above-mentioned tubular tape, usually, a pile fabric and a tricot or taffeta fabric are overlapped, and the edges thereof are machined to form a double tubular shape. The double cylinder has a tricot or taffeta cloth on the inside and a pile cloth on the outside.

[0004]

However, there is a problem that the tubular tape requires a great deal of labor to sew it in a tubular shape. In addition, since the inner cloth and the outer cloth are sewn on only one side edge portion, and the double ring exists in a free state, the wire 2 is inserted during the insertion work.
There is also a problem that it is difficult to pass through the appropriate hollow portion, and the work efficiency is extremely poor. Further, in the double-tubular tape, the perforated edge is raised thickly (the seam allowance is folded inward), so that the tape is sluggish and the feeling of wearing deteriorates. In addition, by sewing this tubular tape to the outside of clothing, there is an attempt to produce an outer garment having a certain shape retention property and an interesting design, but since the appearance of the sewn edge is poor, Such outer garments were not available on the market.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and there is no need for sewing, the wire can be smoothly passed,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a tubular tape for clothing that looks good in appearance.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a highly shrinkable yarn having a shrinkage ratio of 40 to 95% in a non-shrinked state by knitting into a tubular shape and shrinking by heating or chemical treatment. A tubular tape formed by densifying the stitches, wherein a partial band-shaped region along the longitudinal direction of the tubular tape is formed by double knitting to be thick and the other portion is formed by single knitting. The first point is the tubular tape for clothing,
A high-shrinkage yarn having a shrinkage of 40 to 95% is knitted into a tubular shape in an unshrinked state to shrink by heating or chemical treatment to densify stitches, and the entire tubular tape is A second aspect of the present invention is a tubular tape for clothing, which is characterized in that it is formed in a thick cloth by double knitting.

[0007]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

First, a highly shrinkable yarn having a shrinkage of 40 to 95% is used in the tubular sleeve for clothing of the present invention. The high shrinkage yarn has a length of 40 by heating or chemical treatment.
Wooly nylon, nylon PO
Various high-shrink yarns made of Y, polyester POY, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene, polypropylene and the like can be mentioned. Further, high shrinkage yarns such as conjugate yarns obtained by combining nylon, polyester and the like can be given. And the thickness of the high shrinkage yarn used in the present invention is 80 to 2
50 denier is preferred.

The tubular tape for clothing of the present invention is obtained by knitting the above-described highly shrinkable yarn in a tubular shape in an unshrinked state, and then shrinking the yarn length by heating or chemical treatment to densify the stitches. . The heating temperature at the time of performing the above-mentioned heat treatment is set to about 60 to 120 ° C. In the case of performing the chemical treatment, the type of the chemical is appropriately selected according to the type of the high-shrink yarn. For example, cyclohexane is used. When knitting in the tubular shape, a portion along the longitudinal direction is double-knitted to form a partial strip-shaped region P along the tubular longitudinal direction in a thick fabric as shown in FIG. It is preferable.

It is usually preferable that the band-shaped region P is formed in a half circumference or in a portion slightly smaller than that. That is, by forming the belt-shaped region P that is partially thick,
This is because the thick portion has a function like a core and the wire insertion work is easy. When sewing a tubular tape with wires inserted into clothing such as brassieres, if the non-thick fabric is sewn by facing the fabric, the outer thick fabric will sufficiently protect the inner wire and overlap the fabric. Since the inner portion is not thick, there is an advantage that the wearing feeling is improved.

The tubular tape is preferably knitted by warp knitting. However, in the warp knitting machine used for this, when the band-shaped region P is formed by double knitting, the arrangement of the knitting needles (needle) needs to be specially set. That is, as shown in FIG.
The needles 10 to be double-knitted are arranged in two rows, and one row of needles (not shown) are arranged in symmetrical directions on opposite sides. Then, the yarn supplied from the upper guide bar 20 is chain-knitted by the needles 10, and at this time, weft insertion yarns (not shown) for connecting the chains Q are simultaneously knitted. In the case of ordinary single knitting, the weft insertion yarn moves in a wavy pattern as shown by a pattern 11 in the organization diagram of FIG.
Is set so as to connect mutually independent chains by intersecting with each other. However, when knitting the tubular tape of the present invention, together with the weft insertion yarn, the chain is moved back and forth to form two front and rear chains. A weft insertion yarn for connecting the Q is provided. Thereby, the double knitted portion is integrally knitted.

Moreover, the double-knitted portion and the single-knitted portion opposite to the double-knitted portion are connected at their both ends by further different weft insertion yarns, and are knitted as a whole in a tubular shape. To illustrate this schematically,
The result is as shown in FIG. In the figure, 13 is a chain extending in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, 14, 15 and 16 are weft insertion yarns for connecting the left and right chain 13 respectively, 17 is a weft insertion yarn for connecting the two chains 13 18 is a weft insertion yarn that connects the single knitting portion and the double knitting portion. Then, the central space portion R is a portion into which a wire or the like is inserted.

The thus obtained tubular tape is made by knitting highly shrinkable yarn and shrinking the yarn length by 40 to 95%, so that the stitches are very dense and strong. Therefore, when a wire or the like is inserted therein and used over time, the ability to protect the wire or the like is high, and the wire or the like is not exposed from inside due to fraying. In addition, unlike the conventional tape, the tubular tape does not need to be sewn on the cloth to form a tubular shape, and can be easily obtained by a knitting machine, so that a large labor saving can be achieved. Moreover, since the specific portion of the tubular tape is double-knitted and the other portion is single-knitted, the double-knitted portion acts like a core to insert a wire or the like. Easy to work. In addition, the edge of this tubular tape is not sewn up by sewing unlike conventional tape,
It has a clean appearance and looks good. Therefore, it can be used not only for underwear and the like, but also for sewing directly on the outer garment surface, and also for hats and shoes.

The tubular tape for clothing of the present invention is preferably formed by double knitting, although it is preferable that only the portion of the belt-like region P is doubled as described above. That is, in this case, the needles on the opposite side opposite to the two rows of needles shown in FIG. 2 are also arranged in two rows and knitted in the same manner as above. In this way, the tubular tubular tape for clothing, which is entirely doubled, does not need to be sewn on the cloth like the conventional tape, and a great labor saving can be achieved. Further, as described above, although it is slightly thicker than a single piece, it is simpler and more comfortable to wear and looks than a conventional product because there is no bulge at the edge.

Further, the tubular tape for clothing of the present invention does not necessarily have to be knitted by the above warp knitting, and a knitting method capable of knitting similar to the above can be used.

Next, examples will be described.

[0017]

Example 1 A knitting machine of warp knitting Russell (manufactured by Karl Mayer) was used, and a nylon yarn (100 denier,
Shrinkage 50%) and nylon wool yarn (100 denier,
A tubular tape intermediate product having a gauge of 14 and twelve stages was obtained by knitting at a knitting speed of 800 rpm using warp yarns and weft insertion yarns having a uniform shrinkage ratio of 50%. This was shrunk by heat treatment at 100 ° C. for 10 minutes to obtain a partially thick tubular tape as shown in FIG. The area shrinkage was 95%.

[0018]

Example 2 An intermediate tubular tape was obtained in the same manner as described above. This was immersed in cyclohexane for 3 minutes to shrink and then dried to obtain a partially thick tubular tape as shown in FIG. This had an area shrinkage of 93.3%.

The stainless steel wire (diameter: 1.5 m) was applied to the tubular tapes obtained in the above-mentioned Examples 1 and 2.
m) was inserted and sutured to a brassiere as shown in FIG. 4 and used, both were excellent in wearing feeling and could be used satisfactorily for a long period of time.

[0020]

As described above, since the tubular tape for clothing of the present invention is obtained by shrinking the knitted fabric formed by knitting the high shrinkage yarn, the stitches are extremely fine and durable. Therefore, even if a wire or the like is inserted therein and stitched to the garment and used for a long period of time, the wire or the like is not exposed from the inside due to wear. Further, since the above-mentioned tubular tape can be easily obtained by a knitting machine, it is possible to achieve great labor saving. Moreover, in the case where the specific portion is double-knitted and the other portion is single-knitted, the double-knitted portion acts like a core, and the work of inserting a wire or the like is easy. Further, the tubular sleeve for clothing of the present invention has a clean appearance and has a good appearance because the edge portion is not sewn up by sewing unlike the conventional tape. Therefore, it can be used not only for underwear and the like, but also for sewing directly on the outer garment surface, and also for hats and shoes.
