Description

Plush fabric and manufacturing method

The present invention relates to a method of making a pile fabric and a pile fabric.

Plush fabrics include towels. The warp yarns of the fabric are divided into two types, one of which is woven and the other of which is woven, and the warp of the woven loose side is loosened to form a loop. Since the plush system is in the form of a loop, there is a gap between the yarn and the yarn, so that a large amount of air can be accommodated with appropriate elasticity. When the pile is provided, the water absorption, heat retention, air permeability, hand feeling, and the like of the towel can be made good.

In the prior art, it has been disclosed that such a pile is used on a towel which is soft and fluffy (e.g., Patent Document 1).

However, the inventors are constantly striving for new developments in the towel industry. One of them is to review the water absorption, heat preservation, air permeability and hand feeling of the terry cloth so that the terry cloth can be used on the clothing. Terry cloth has been commercialized in terms of clothing, and further, the inventor wants to use it in clothing such as shirts.

In general, shirts and underwear, home clothes and pajamas fabrics, such as jersey, corduroy, knitted fabric, embossed fabrics, etc., as well as fine flat cloth, leno cloth, oxford cloth, twill cloth, satin cloth, flange Textile fabric such as flannel.

When using a plush fabric for clothing, general clothing fabric is required. The same degree of lightness and thinness.

However, in general, the terry cloth is more than 2 to 3 times the weight of the general clothing fabric, and the thickness is 5 to 10 times thick (see later). But clothing is the one who wears everyday. When the clothing is heavy, the weight becomes a burden, that is, the comfort and the wearing feeling cannot be maintained. Moreover, when used in clothing, it is required to be easily sewed. However, the fabric is thick but not easy to sew.

The way to solve the problems related to the weight and thickness of the plush cloth should be to reduce the height of the pile (to shorten the length of the pile, the meaning of the term will be described later). Plush (low) towels can be used as sports towels. The sports towel is intended to absorb sweat, so the required water absorption is not the extent of the towel that is intended to absorb the moisture at the end of the bath. On the other hand, it is light and thin, and it can be used in general when it is required to be portable.

[Previous Technical Literature] Patent literature

Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 8-013283

A fabric made of a thin material sports towel that is made with a focus on portability must be used for clothing without losing the feel of the towel. Although the hand feeling is a subjective factor, it is close to the ratio of the plush height to the plush diameter. That is, when the pile height is low, the rigidity of the pile is too strong, and there is a fear of a stiff feeling. Moreover, it is not suitable for wiping the sweat with a sports towel without feeling the degree of touch.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a pile fabric which can be kept light and thin to the same extent as a general clothing fabric, and which has water absorption, heat retention, air permeability, hand feeling, and the like, such as a terry cloth.

In order to solve the above problems, the pile fabric of the present invention is formed of a cotton yarn having a yarn of No. 50 or higher and a yarn of No. 100 or less, and a pile having a pile height of not more than mm.

The cotton yarn is preferably a yarn of No. 60 or higher and a No. 90 yarn.

Lower the pile height and use a fine yarn cotton yarn to make it thin and light.

Further, the density of the piles of the piles is 40 strands or more and 60 strands or less in the width direction of each of the piles, and it is preferably 18 strands or more and 22 strands or less in the weaving direction.

In this way, the advantages of the plush are not impaired.

In the above-mentioned plush cotton yarn, it is preferred that the water-soluble yarn is twisted in the opposite direction. That is, it is an intermediate product containing a water-soluble yarn.

Further, the above-mentioned pile is preferably formed by removing the water-soluble yarn which is twisted in the opposite direction from the cotton yarn.

Further, it is preferable that the water-soluble yarn is inserted into the cotton yarn in a range of 30% or more and 170% or less in the opposite direction with respect to the twisted yarn of the cotton yarn.

The water-soluble yarn forms a reinforcement when interlaced. Therefore, after the water-soluble yarn is removed, rumination occurs.

In order to solve the above problems, the method for manufacturing the pile fabric of the present invention is to make the water-soluble yarn in the opposite direction into the interlaced yarn in the cotton yarn below the No. 100 yarn and the No. 100 yarn, and then to interlace the yarn. The yarn is formed into a pile fabric having a pile height of less than 5 mm, and the water-soluble yarn is removed from the fabric.

The pile fabric of the present invention can maintain the lightness and thinness of the general clothing fabric to the same extent, and has the water absorption, heat preservation property, air permeability, hand feeling and the like of the towel cloth. As a result, the pile fabric of the present invention can be used for clothing.

[Fig. 1] shows a comparison with a comparative example.

~Structure summary~

In the present embodiment, the pile height is lower than that of a general terry cloth (Comparative Example 1, which will be described later in detail) (first structure). That is, the pile yarn (second structure) was formed by comparing the cotton yarn of Comparative Example 1 to the fine yarn. However, in Comparative Example 1, the density of the pile was high (third structure). In the cotton yarn, the water-soluble yarn is twisted in the opposite direction, and after interlacing, the water-soluble yarn is removed to cause rumination in the cotton yarn (fourth structure).

~The first structure (low plush) and its effect~

In general, the height of the pile of the terry cloth (Comparative Example 1) is about 5 to 12 mm, and is about 5 to 7 mm. This is because the higher the pile height, the more the water absorption and the hand feel.

On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, the pile was not made 5 mm, and the rigidity was too strong, so that a soft hand could not be obtained.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the pile height is 0.8 mm or more and less than 5 mm.

However, when it is more than 5 mm, as in the comparative example, the effects relating to lightness and thinness cannot be obtained. When the thickness is less than 0.8 mm, the effect (sucking property, heat retention property, air permeability, etc.) of the pile may not be obtained.

Under the above range, the effects related to lightness and thinness and the effects of the plush can be achieved. Moreover, the effect can be more sure if it is 1.5 mm or more and 3 mm or less.

When the fabric is light, the garment can be worn.

When the fabric is light, sewing is also easy.

~The second structure (fine yarn) and its effect~

In the pile yarn of Comparative Example 1, cotton yarn of the yarn No. 20 to No. 30 was used. However, when using double yarns, it is a yarn of No. 30 to No. 60. This is because the thicker the piled yarn, the higher the water absorption.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the yarn having a pile is a cotton yarn having a yarn of No. 50 or more and a yarn of No. 100 or less.

In the case of the yarn No. 50 (which is thicker than the No. 50 yarn), a significant difference was not obtained in Comparative Example 1 in terms of hand feeling. When the yarn exceeds 100 (smaller than the No. 100 yarn), sufficient heat retention and water absorption cannot be obtained. At the same time, it is preferable to use the number 100 yarn or less in terms of the interlacing ability.

Below the above range, the ratio of the diameter of the pile having a relatively plush height to the pile can be lowered. In this way, the fluff can be changed moderately when it comes into contact with the skin. Shape, so you can achieve a soft touch. On the other hand, sufficient heat retention and water absorption can be maintained.

When it is a fine yarn, it can be further lightweight.

Further, the effect can be more sure when the cotton yarn of the No. 60 yarn or more and the No. 90 yarn is used.

Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the yarn (warp and weft) used in the cloth structure is also used in a yarn of 30 to 50% finer than that of Comparative Example 1.

~ The third structure (high density) and its role ~

In Comparative Example 1, the number of piles per crepe was 32 to 33 strands in the relative width direction and 16 to 17 strands in the opposite direction. The density of the fabric is 40 to 33 strands per warp and 48 to 50 strands per weft.

When the second structure (fine yarn) is used in the pile density, the permeability can be made remarkable, and the pile retainability is also weak. Moreover, the strength of the fabric is also insufficient. The strength of sewing is also insufficient when sewing garments.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the number of piles per turn is 40 to 60 strands in the width direction, 18 to 22 strands in the woven direction, and the density of the fabric is 40 to 60 strands per warp. The latitude is 54 to 66 shares per raft.

The density of the pile is higher than that of the comparative example 1 and the density of the cloth structure is high. Even if the first structure and the second structure are used, the ratio of the weight of the piled yarn relative to the weight of the cloth can be maintained within a predetermined range. . As a result, the advantages of the plush fabric are not compromised.

On the other hand, as the density becomes higher, the weight reduction effect by the first structure and the second structure can be improved, and the weight reduction effect can be maintained as a whole.

Moreover, due to the high density, the retention of the pile, the strength of the cloth, and the sewing strength can be ensured.

~4th structure (water-soluble yarn and ruthenium) and its effect~

In the second structure (fine yarn), when the automatic spinning machine currently widely used is used, it is not possible to interlace at a high speed. That is, the strength of the yarn will be insufficient due to the excessive weaving of the yarn.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in the cotton yarn of the fine yarn, the water-soluble yarn is twisted in the opposite direction to form an interlaced yarn, and the interwoven yarn can form a pile fabric. Since the water-soluble yarn can reinforce the cotton yarn of the fine yarn, it can also be interwoven at a high speed by an automatic spinning machine which is widely used at present.

The water-soluble yarn is impregnated with cotton yarn in a range of 30% or more and 170% or less in the opposite direction. After interlacing, the water soluble yarn is removed from the fabric.

The water-soluble yarn crepe 30% means that the cotton yarn is twisted 100 times, and the water-soluble yarn is twisted 30 times.

As a result, in the cotton yarn after the water-soluble yarn is removed, the crepe of the original cotton yarn is generated, and the crepe is -70% or more and 70% or less.

Further, for example, when the water-soluble yarn is twisted in the opposite direction by 30% in the cotton yarn, the twisted yarn of the cotton yarn is 70% (= 100-30) after the water-soluble yarn is removed. When 170% of the water-soluble yarn is twisted in the opposite direction in the cotton yarn, the yarn of the cotton yarn is -70% (= 100-170) after the water-soluble yarn is removed. The crepe is a negative value, meaning that it is in the opposite direction to the crepe of the original cotton yarn.

By twisting the yarn, the crepe can be slowed down and the soft hand can be improved.

Further, when the water-soluble yarn crepe is less than 30%, there is a concern that a sufficient reinforcing effect cannot be obtained. Moreover, when the water-soluble yarn crepe exceeds 100%, the original cotton yarn is twisted in the opposite direction. Therefore, when the water-soluble yarn twisted yarn exceeds 170%, the effect of improving the soft hand feeling is insufficient.

~Check test~

This embodiment was compared with Comparative Example 1 (terry cloth) and Comparative Example 2 (general clothing fabric) to examine the effects of the present embodiment.

Fig. 1 is a conceptual diagram comparing Comparative Example 1 with this embodiment. The above figure is shown in Comparative Example 1, and the following figures show an embodiment.

In the first embodiment, the first embodiment and the second embodiment were tested. In Example 1 and Example 2, a pile having a pile height of 1.8 mm and a cotton yarn of No. 80 yarn was used, and the pile density was a structure of 47 strands/inch of yarn and 20 strands/inch of yarn. The crepe after raking in Example 1 was 70%, and the crepe after rumination in Example 2 was 0% (no crepe yarn).

Comparative Example 1 is a terry cloth used for a thin cloth towel or the like. Comparative Example 1-1, a pile having a pile height of 5.0 mm and a cotton yarn of No. 20 yarn, the pile density of which is a twist yarn of 32 strands/inch and a longitudinal yarn of 16 strands/inch. structure. Comparative Example 1-2, a pile yarn having a pile height of 7.0 mm and a cotton yarn of No. 30 yarn, and a pile yarn having a pile density of 33 strands/inch and a longitudinal yarn of 17 strands/inch. The structure.

Comparative Example 2 is a general fabric used in home clothes and pajamas.

In Comparative Example 2-1, it was a cotton jersey. Cotton flat knitting fabrics are generally used as materials for underwear and shirts. As a general clothing fabric, it has good air permeability and water absorption.

Comparative Example 2-2 is a cotton flat cloth. Cotton flat cloth, widely used for spring and summer clothing pajamas (trousers pajamas) and spring and summer clothing color collar shirt material. As a general clothing fabric, it is good in terms of lightness and thinness. Flat needle woven fabric.

Comparative Example 2-3 is a cotton flannel. Cotton flannel is widely used as the material for the autumn and winter clothes pajamas and autumn and winter clothing collar shirts. As a cloth for general clothing, it is good in terms of heat preservation.

The results of the comparison are shown in Table 1, and the following is a description of the comparison results.

Thickness of the fabric

When Comparative Example 1 was compared with Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 1 was thicker than Comparative Example 2 Up to 10 times. Therefore, Comparative Example 1 was not easily sewn. Comparative Example 1 could not be used on clothing.

On the other hand, in the first embodiment, the fabric can be made thinner. Although it is slightly thicker than Comparative Example 2, it is a thickness that can be easily sewn.

̇ lightweight aspect

In Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 1 was two to three times as large as Comparative Example 2. That is, in the case of Comparative Example 1, the weight became a burden and the wearability was insufficient.

On the other hand, in the first embodiment and the second configuration, the fabric can be made lighter.

When compared with Comparative Example 1 in this embodiment, the weight is about 50% or less. In addition, in the opinion survey of the needy person, the inventor has reduced the weight of 20% or more, and confirmed that there is a real feeling for weight reduction. Comparative Example 1 also has the characteristics of being thin and lightweight, but in the aspect of the present embodiment, the lightweight property is further improved. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is not only quantitatively lightweight, but also has a light weight. In particular, there is a significant difference in the sense of lightness among children, the elderly, and women who have little power.

When compared with Comparative Example 2 in this embodiment, it is the same as the lightest amount of Comparative Example 2-2. Compared with Comparative Example 2, in the present embodiment, the person in need also has a light real feeling.

Further, although the third structure has an effect of increasing the weight, the effect of reducing the weight of the first structure and the second structure is large, and the weight reduction effect can be maintained as a whole.

̇ hygroscopicity and water absorption

Generally, the water absorption of the towel is higher and the volume is higher. Therefore, in the review stage of the present invention, since the piled yarn is a fine yarn and the pile height is reduced to reduce the volume, there is a concern that the moisture absorption and the water absorption are reduced. However, in comparison with Comparative Example 1, this embodiment should be about the same level. Specifically, when compared with Comparative Example 1-1 whose purpose is to exhibit a water absorption function, the hygroscopicity and water absorption were slightly lower than Comparative Example 1-1. Considering that the weight ratio is 50% or less, it can be said that it is almost equivalent. Compared with Comparative Example 1-2, the hygroscopicity and water absorption were higher in this embodiment.

In the third embodiment, the ratio of the weight of the piled yarn to the weight of the cloth can be maintained within a predetermined range, so that the advantage of the pile fabric is maintained. As a result, it is hygroscopic and water absorbing.

In the present embodiment, compared with Comparative Example 2, it has a specific water absorption of 1.8 times to 3 times which is not obtained in general clothing fabric.

Ventilation

In the second embodiment, the second structure and the fourth structure can increase the gap between the piles. As a result, it has air permeability.

At the same time, the third structure can function to reduce the gap between the piles. However, since the effects of the second structure and the fourth structure are large, the air permeability can be maintained as a whole.

In the present embodiment, when compared with Comparative Example 1, the air permeability was better than that of Comparative Example 1-1, and the air permeability was close to that of Comparative Example 1-2. That is, the advantages of the plush fabric can be maintained.

In the present embodiment, when compared with Comparative Example 2, the air permeability of the comparative example 2-1 or more having the best air permeability was obtained.

̇Insulation

In general, the insulation of the plush fabric is larger and higher. Therefore, in the review stage of the present invention, since the piled yarn is a fine yarn and the volume is reduced by reducing the pile height, the heat retention should be sacrificed (reduced). However, in the present embodiment, compared with Comparative Example 1, the weight ratio was 50% or less, and the heat retention was reduced by only 15 to 35%. That is, the insulation of the plush fabric can be maintained.

In the third embodiment, the ratio of the weight of the piled yarn to the weight of the cloth can be maintained within a predetermined range, and the advantage of the pile fabric can be maintained. Therefore, as a result, it has heat absorbing properties.

In the present embodiment, compared with Comparative Example 2, it has heat retention properties equal to or higher than those of Comparative Example 2-3 in which the temperature absorption property is optimal.

̇ contact cold and cold feeling

Contact with cold temperature is a measure of the warmth of the fabric when it comes into contact with the skin. The larger the value, the greater the heat transfer from the skin to the fabric, and the feeling of coldness. Conversely, the smaller the value, the less heat is moved from the skin to the cloth without the icy feeling of contact with the skin. In general, when the difference between the two kinds of samples is 0.03 W/cm ² or less, it is judged that there is no intentional difference.

This embodiment is the same as Comparative Example 1-1 when compared with Comparative Example 1, and there is no extreme difference to Comparative Example 1-2. That is, the advantages of the plush fabric can be maintained.

In the present embodiment, when compared with Comparative Example 2, the heat transfer can be reduced by 4 to 50%, so that it is less likely to have a feeling of coldness when it comes into contact with the skin. Therefore, this embodiment has a special contact temperature feeling.

̇feeling

In the present embodiment, a soft hand can be obtained by the second structure and the fourth structure.

~ Summary of effects ~

In the present embodiment, it is possible to realize the lightness and thinness of the cloth of the general clothing (Comparative Example 2) to the same extent or more.

In the present embodiment, the general terry cloth (Comparative Example 1) can also achieve the same degree or the same degree of hygroscopicity, water absorption, air permeability, heat retention, contact temperature, and hand.

That is, this embodiment has various functions of lightness, thinness, moisture absorption, water absorption, air permeability, heat retention, contact temperature, and hand feeling required for a well-balanced garment. In other words, there is no so-called mutual compensation relationship that sacrifices another function because of a function improvement.

Therefore, when it is used in clothing, it can exhibit the comfort and wearability that has not been achieved so far. That is, in the summer, hygroscopicity, water absorption, and air permeability can be exerted, and the rise in body temperature and sweating can maintain the climate inside the clothes. Moreover, since it has a plush, the contact area with the skin is small, so that the stickiness due to sweating can be reduced. In the winter, it can maintain warmth and contact temperature, and it does not feel cold when it comes into contact with the skin, so it can maintain body temperature. At the same time, it can be lightweight regardless of the season.

Moreover, since it is easy to sew due to thinness, it also has sufficient pile retainability, cloth strength, and sewing strength. That is, the practicality is also high.

~Other structures~

However, due to the second structure and the fourth structure described above, there is also a concern that the pile may fall off.

However, when the cotton is decomposed, fibers of various lengths can be obtained. In general, the longer the fiber, the less the joint of the yarn, and the strength

In general, a cotton having an effective fiber length of 20 mm or more and 25 mm or less is used, and an average fiber length of the cotton yarn is 22 mm to 23 mm.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is preferable to form the cotton crepe having an effective fiber length of 30 mm or more and 42 mm or less. It is more preferable to form a cotton crepe having an effective fiber length of 34 mm or more and 42 mm or less.

The inventors of the present invention have obtained the strength that can withstand practical use after obtaining an effective fiber length of 30 mm or more through repeated inspection experiments, thereby suppressing the conclusion that the pile is peeled off. Further, when the effective fiber length is 34 mm or more, the strength of the actual use can be surely obtained without depending on the type of cotton.

On the other hand, the effective fiber length is 42 mm, which is generally the upper limit of the length of the cotton fiber. Although there are individual differences, it is not possible to obtain fibers having a length of more than 42 mm.

Thus, even if the above-described second structure and fourth configuration are employed, it is possible to suppress the pile from falling off.

<Supplementary matters>

~Supplement 1~

Generally speaking, in the towel industry, the more specific the sense of the towel, the more advanced the sense of preference. Moreover, the thicker the yarn, the more bulky it is. Therefore, the concern of the industry is which kind of coarse yarn is used. In the actual case of towel trading, the market price of towels is also determined by the weight of the unit. Therefore, the industry does not think that the fine yarn cotton yarn is used on the plush.

However, the present inventors can also use a terry cloth to review clothes such as shirts and the like in addition to bath products such as bathrobes. In that In the process, the focus is on the fine yarn.

That is, the present invention is aimed at a technical direction opposite to that of the industry, and therefore it is not easy for the person skilled in the art to think of it.

However, the towel is used more in the body after bathing. The industry in the clothing industry has not paid attention to the terry cloth. Therefore, this application provides clothing fabrics that are still available in the apparel industry.

~Supplement 2~

Light and thin, and the function of the plush, the opposite tendency. In the present embodiment, the balance of the above-described structures 1 to 4 is achieved in parallel.

The present inventors thought about the occurrence of the experimental results in repeated test experiments and found the balance of the above structures 1 to 4. That is, the practitioner of the present invention does not easily think of it.

~Supplement 3~

The fabric has a plush on both sides of the fabric, and the surface is covered with plush. The fabric has been woven, woven by hanging, etc., but the weight is heavy. In order to reduce the weight, the density is not increased, and it is not necessary to maintain the strength in the tissue other than the plush.

Moreover, the plush woven fabric has stretchability, and there is no tension in the fabric due to lack of directivity in the bottom structure, and the fabric is drooped due to the weight of the fabric when worn, and the pattern is lost. At the same time, because it is easy to stick to the skin, it has a close-fitting feeling, but there is a lack of ventilation and heat preservation.

Therefore, the inventors have thus focused on the stuffed fabric.

~Supplement 4~

In the description of this application, "short length is plus" is "low pile height" Said.

However, the piled yarn is extended between the weft threads, separated by two weft threads, and then returned between the weft threads. This forms a return line. Generally, the length of each pile of wool refers to the length of the yarn from the beginning (extension) to the end (return) of one pile of pile.

In addition, the "plush length" has the same meaning as the "plush height". However, due to the confusion with the "length of each pile of plush", this application is unified as "plush height".

Further, the pile is swelled in a loop shape and contracted by the yarn crepe, so that the measured value of the pile height is not fixed. On the other hand, the length of each of the piles is determined by the beating distance (Reed Loose) at the time of interlacing, and can be correctly set by the setting of the weaving machine. Therefore, it is convenient to use the height of the pile for each half of the length of the pile.

Industrial use possibility

The present invention is suitable for use in clothing such as shirts, home clothes, pajamas, and baby clothes. Can be used in such as collar shirts, half-length short-sleeved sweatshirts, pants, pajamas, home clothes, underwear and other clothing. Especially suitable for pants, pajamas, home clothes, underwear and so on.

In addition to being widely used as a material for clothing, it can be used for sewing products such as bed and furnishings, regardless of its use.
