DE2256297C3 - Terrycloth - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a terry cloth for drying or simultaneous drying and massaging the skin, with pile loops arranged on both sides, with the pile loops on one side forming threads from cotton yarns and the threads forming the pole pieces on the other side consist of a harder fiber material.

Terrycloth fabrics are particularly suitable for drying the surface of the shark because they are quick absorb large amounts of moisture. Therefore, terry towels are especially used after bathing Used to dry the skin.

A wide variety of massage aids are used to improve blood circulation in the skin tissue, for example Brushes or ribbons or gloves made from plastic threads.

The invention has for its object to make a Frol animal tissue in such a way that it is his It does justice to the task of drying damp skin and at the same time has a massage effect, by having an irritant effect on the skin when it dries, which increases the blood flow to the skin tissue is promoted.

It is already known (US-PS 384046), in a terry cloth for towels which the loop Jer ι inenen side forming poi threads from a die To form moisture highly absorbent fiber material and for the pile threads forming the loops on the other hand to provide a harder fiber material, which a corresponding to promote blood circulation Should irritate the skin when it is treated with the cloth. As a harder fiber material If flax fibers are to be used, the massage side of the cloth can only be effective Come into effect when the loops of the fabric ίο on this relevant side of the cloth stay dry because the fibers lose their properties and become soft when they absorb moisture, whereby there is no longer any effect.

In addition, it is already known (US-PS 1 080291) to produce terry cloth for bath towels, in which the base fabric consists of cotton threads, while the pile threads forming the loops should consist of silk combed yarn, which have the task of giving the skin a certain massage effect exercise. In this case, too, a massage effect while drying the skin do not occur, as the pile threads become soft as a result of the moisture absorption and the massage effect get lost. Thus, a bathtub designed in this way is Cloth can only be used for the intended purpose if it has remained dry on at least one side is.

The object of the invention is to create a terry fabric which is used to dry the skin of the ω user is used, either without a simultaneous massage effect or with such.

This object is achieved by the invention specified in claim 1.

The pile warp threads made of plastic form loops in the same way as the cotton pile warp threads have the same height as the loops of the cotton warp threads. This ensures that the harder, Existing plastic pile warp threads exert the desired massage effect, while the Cotton threads absorb moisture.

A particularly advantageous terry fabric according to the invention is constructed in such a way that the height of the Pole loops between 2.6 to 3.2 mm, in particular about 3.0 mm.

Vi The specific shape of the plastic pile warp threads drawn into the fabric ensures a good massage effect caused by them, which is based, among other things, on the fact that the loops of these pile warp threads protrude essentially at right angles from the base fabric and largely maintain this position even when the cloth is used. Due to their flat cross section which deviates from the circular shape, these threads take in Grundgewebc a fixed position, so that the loops can then less v> tilt slightly to the side.
