Abstract

A camisole garment (2) including an elastic system which is under tension and a ruffle which forms an edge (4) of the elastic structure whereby the curl-over of the structure is minimized during use. In addition, a continuous process for the manufacture of garments including sleeveless tops, shirts, or blouses.

Description

background the invention

This invention relates to elastic camisole garments, but especially not exclusively for use by bathers or swimmers are meant and refers to the species that are usually disposable and are primarily intended for children.

Disposable excrement retention items are currently available widely used in the field of adult care, Infants and children and generally have reusable ones Fabric item replaced. Disposable diapers, for example, cover you special needs and have become extremely popular. Disposable training pants also meet a special need and are very popular. However, if a child is taking a trip to a swimming pool or beach want to do, needed the child is an excretion retention piece for possible "events" during a such excursion as well as during of activities of the child or adult at the swimming pool or beach. As Disposable swimwear becomes part of a child's disposable girl's top Desired parent of the child or both.

To fit the child is a version of the Top one completely elastic structure that extends from just above the armpit to just above the Belly or down to the waist, as in the UK patent No. GB-486475.

A problem with the fit of the Elastic material occurs when it is made from an elastic blended fabric as in US Patent No. 4,606,964. The lower edge of the top tends to curl up and fold over. this leads to to an unsightly appearance, with the shirt garment tends to push up on the load.

This invention relates to a continuous process for the production of clothing, like sleeveless Tops, shirts and blouses designed for everyday wear, and in particular to a manufacturing process for camisole garments.

Manufacturers are constantly looking for new, affordable and fast-running continuous manufacturing processes cost-effective Clothing, both disposable and reusable garments for everyday wear Use. additionally consumers are interested in sportswear that is comfortable and relatively inexpensive especially if the garments are intended for children.

Previous procedures used in the Garment manufacturing applied, require pieces of tissue or the like Material that is cut to specific patterns. Then these Parts sewn together into garments in a multi-step process. such Procedures are labor intensive. The process speeds hang on the speed of the final sewing process.

Overview of the invention

Once the web or fabric is formed, it is bonded by one or more of numerous known bonding methods. One of these bonding methods is powder bonding, in which a powdered adhesive is distributed in the web or fabric and is then usually activated by warming the fabric and the adhesive with warm air. Another suitable bonding method is pattern bonding, which uses heated calender rolls or an ultrasonic bonding tool to normally bond the fibers to one another in a local bond pattern, the fabric also being able to be bonded over its entire surface if desired. Another suitable and well-known bonding method is through-air bonding, especially when two-component staple fibers are used.

The folding and realignment processes can be omitted if a resealable seam 42 in the garment 42 is included. There may be packaging reasons why these two steps are still performed.

Another embodiment of the present invention is a continuous process for the manufacture of a camisole garment (see 1 and 2 ) to wear on the body, containing an elastic top 10 with a body wrapping arrangement, an upper body opening 12 and a lower body opening 14 , each body opening 12 and 14 an edge 4 respectively. 6 that runs along its edge. The top 10 contains an outer wrapper 16 and a body side liner, both of which are essentially a series of body elastics 20 envelop. The top 10 contains a multi-layered web of fabric 3 ,

Both the outer wrapper 16 as well as the body side lining 18 are preferably cuddly and soft for the wearer. The following description of the materials that make up the outer wrapper 16 can also be applied to the material from which the body side liner is made 18 will be produced.

A repeating sequence of two openings 32 and 34 becomes from the relatively elastic range 22 of the fabric 3 preferably near the inelastic upper area 24 cut. The location of the openings 32 and 34 corresponds to the armholes 33 and 35 in the finished garment 2 , The top margins 36 and 38 of the openings 32 respectively. 34 can be 0.6 to 5 cm (0.25 to 2.0 inches) below the relatively inelastic edge area 24 are located.

The openings 32 and 34 can have different shapes as described above. The pattern is only due to the fashion and the minimal size of the fabric 3 limited, which must remain to provide sufficient strength to withstand the remaining steps or processes of the manufacturing process. The openings 32 and 34 can be produced by a stamping process, an ultrasound process or another suitable method. The top margins 38 and 38 of the openings 32 respectively. 34 can be at a distance of 6 to 13 cm (0.25 to 5.0 inches) from the top 4 away.

The top 10 contains two shoulder straps 26 and 28 who have favourited the camisole garment 2 hold in the right place. The shoulder straps 26 and 28 are made of tissue 3 made that is between the top edges 36 and 38 the armholes 32 and 34 and the top 4 located. The section of the fabric 3 is folded in such a way that the folded material 5 on the outside surface 37 of the finished garment 2 lies, with the outer wrapping 16 is folded back on itself, creating part of the body side lining 18 exposed and a neckline fold 40 is produced. In an alternative embodiment, the part of the fabric 3 folded so that the folded material 5 on the inner surface 39 of the finished garment 2 lies with the body side lining 18 is folded back on itself, creating part of the outer wrapper 16 is placed against the body of the wearer.

The neckline fold 40 is retained by the folded material 5 to the tissue 3 between the openings 32 and 34 is bonded, creating the shoulder straps 26 and 28 be generated. The bonding takes place in the form of a non-reclosable seam 42 , The non-reclosable seam 42 can by a suitable device, such as ultrasonic welding, gluing, heat welding or the like, as described above.

The mesh 3 is then cut into individual pieces of clothing size, each piece having two openings 32 and 34 , two shoulder straps 26 and 28 and two opposite end sections 48 and 50 contains. Every piece of the fabric 3 is typically transported through vacuum plates, belts, or conveyors through folding and realignment processes. The piece of tissue 3 is folded so that the opposite end portions 48 and 50 be brought together to form a body suture 42 train.

The piece of tissue 3 is realigned (or rearranged) to easily bond the body suture 42 to enable. The body seam 42 can be a non-resealable seam or a resealable seam. Any excess tissue 3 can from the edge 47 the body seam 42 be removed to the body suture 42 to shrink and smooth. The non-reclosable body seam 42 can be formed by suitable means such as ultrasonic welding, bonding, heat welding or the like as described above.

In other embodiments, the opposite end portions 48 and 50 of the top 10 on the top 10 are held together to form a reclosable seam 42 train. Resealable means for attaching the opposite end portions 46 and 50 of the top 10 include reclosable adhesive systems and locking systems 96 of a mechanical type. Mechanical fasteners include buttons, buttonholes, snaps, buckles, clips, hooks and eyes, end extensions, loops and the like, which are provided or arranged for this purpose in a certain type of complementary device or the outer wrapper 16 of the top 10 intervene.

In addition, elastic fasteners can also be used to better fit the shirt garment 2 sure. When the camisole garment 2 a reclosable body seam 42 contains the reclosable facilities on the fabric 3 arranged in convenient places before the fabric 3 cut into pieces of clothing size. The folding and realignment processes can be omitted if a resealable seam 42 in the garment 42 is included.

The mesh 3 of the top 10 preferably has tensile properties in a first direction so that it is capable of stretching about 10% to 500% and recovering to at least 55% of its strain when the tension is released. In general, it is desirable that the material of the top be different 10 stretches in the first direction between 50% and 300%, but preferably by at least 125%, and is deformed back to about 80% of its stretch when the tension is released.

As previously described, the top can 10 are made of a material that is capable of stretching in one direction or is capable of stretching in two substantially perpendicular directions. A suitable unidirectional material is described in U.S. Patent 4,720,415.

The unidirectional stretch material may be a composite material that contains at least one contractible web bonded to at least one stretched web. The elastic web can consist of an elastic film or fibrous elastic nonwoven webs, such as meltblown elastomer fiber webs. In one embodiment, the top includes 10 a stretch-bonded laminate consisting of a pre-stretched elastic meltblown inner layer sandwiched between and attached to two spunbonded polypropylene nonwoven webs, each web having a basis weight of about 0.4 g / m ² (0.4 osy). Suitable elastic materials are sold by the Shell Chemical Company of Houston, Texas under the trade name Kraton. Other suitable one-dimensionally extensible materials are described in U.S. Patents 4,606,964 issued August 19, 1986 to Widemann and 4,657,802 issued April 14, 1987 to Mormann.

Suitable two-dimensional stretchable materials for the body elastic 20 are described in U.S. Patents 5,114,781 and 5,116,662. A two-dimensionally stretchable material can consist of a composite material with a constrictable material and an elastic film, which can be formed by meltblowing or extrusion. Constrictable materials are those that can be narrowed in at least one dimension by applying tensile force in a direction perpendicular to the desired constriction direction and can include a spunbonded, meltblown, or bonded-carded web. The stretched constrictable constricted material can be connected to the stretched elastic film at spaced locations that are not linearly arranged.

Another two-dimensionally stretchable composite material can consist of one or more layers of a reversibly constricted material which is connected to one or more layers of an elastic film at spaced locations. Reversible necked materials are those that have been heat treated during necking to impart a memory effect to the material so that when a force is applied to the material to stretch it to its dimensions prior to necking, the treated necked Sections generally have their constricted dimensions when Take back the power.

The material preferably stretches only in the horizontal direction, that is, around the body. If the material in is elastic in both directions, it is desirable to stretch in the vertical direction to less than about 20% below normal Limit tensions.

Alternatively, the body elastics 20 be formed from a dry-spun, assembled, multifilament elastomer thread, which is sold under the trade name LYCRA by the company IE Du Pont de Nemours and Company. Furthermore, the elastics can consist of other typical elastics used in the manufacture of diapers, such as a thin band of elastic material, as described in U.S. Patent 4,940,464.

An elasticity can the material of the upper part 10 also be awarded in that a hot melt elastomeric adhesive between the outer envelope 16 and the body side liner 18 is extruded. Further elastic gathering devices are described in US Pat. 4,938,754 for Mesek and 4,388,075 for Mesek et al. described.

When forming the material of the top 10 can the body elastic 20 individually on one of the adjacent contractible layers (outer covering 16 or body side lining 18 ) and the other contractible web layer is applied over the elastics to bond the first layer. Alternatively, only a contractible layer, such as the outer wrapper, can be used 16 be used and the body elastics 20 on one side, preferably the body side, of the outer casing 16 be bonded. In such an embodiment, the body elastic lies horizontally 20 on one side of the outer wrapper 16 free.

example

The material used to achieve this example consists of a laminate with two surfaces of 20 g / m ² (0.6 osy) of a non-woven material that wraps 470 elastic Decitex LYCRA strands with about three strands per cm Width (7 strands per inch width) of the material are arranged. The elastic strands are glued together using an addition of 5 g / m ² . An elongation of 150% to 170% also acts on the elastic. The width of the finished laminate is 10 cm (4 inches), excluding added non-elastic crimp.

The ripple is on the edge of the material formed by removing the elastic strands and it the 2 fleece surfaces allowed to be glued together, followed by slitting to the desired one Width of the ripple he follows.

The nonwoven used in this case was a 20 g / m ² (0.6 osy) spunbond / meltblown / spunbond (SMS) laminate, although other nonwoven areas (ie 14 and 20 g / m ² (0.4 and 0.6 osy) spunbond) showed similar results. In addition, the decitex of the elastic strands and the distance, the adhesive additive and the percentage of stretching can also vary. The codes tested are as follows:
Code A: 10 cm (4.0``) SMS / elastic strand laminate without crimp
Code B: 10 cm (4.0``) SMS / elastic strand laminate with 0.6 cm (0.25 '') crimp
Code C: 10 cm (4.0``) SMS / elastic strand laminate with 1.3 cm (0.50 '') crimp
Code D: 10 cm (4.0``) SMS / elastic strand laminate with 1.9 cm (0.75 '') crimp
Code E: 10 cm (4.0``) SMS / elastic strand laminate with 2.5 cm (1.0 '') crimp (desired structure)
Code F: 13 cm (4.0``) SMS / elastic strand laminate without crimp (this
Code has been tested to eliminate the effect of sample width on the data)

Samples of each code are made at least 46 cm (18``) length (this leads to a trial length of 41 cm (16``), the approximate length of the for the Making a swimsuit top is required) and 2.5 cm (1 '') width on both Pages for cut the attachment to the test template. The middle of the width each sample is determined to be between the two outermost strands of the elastic strands and a line across the entire length drawn from the sample. The width of the crimp is in this measurement not included.

A piece of foam core or cork sheet at 0, 41, 51 and 55 cm (0 ", 16 ", 20" and 21.5 '') marked. The 51 cm and 55 cm (20 '' and 21.5 '') Represent markings the 41 cm (16``) of the sample, the is pulled to 25% or 35%, which is the typical stretch size, which the material has when worn by a normal child becomes.

Using a pen one end of the material is attached to the plate at the 0 cm (0 '') mark. Paying attention that this Material is laid out flat and straight, but does not experience any stretch, the Pen through the second end of the material in the plate at the 41 cm (16``) mark attached. Once the material is attached, the end of the material at the 41 cm (16 '') mark 51 cm (20``) stretched by the pen is pulled out of the plate and the pen is used to the material on the 51 cm (20 ") Draw marker. Existing wrinkles are in the area around the Smoothed pen, what the material is for five minutes smooth can.

After waiting five minutes becomes the strength the ripple the longitudinal edges of the Material measured. This will take the form of a template upside down U (about 5 cm (2.0 '') high and 15 cm (6.0 '') long) with a line that reaches the length after pulling on the center line of the template. If they are over the Sample is arranged, should be the center line of the template directly above the center line of the sample. In addition, the Edge of the template (beginning of the center line) exactly in the middle of the length of the Sample (a line drawn on the plate before the experiment to mark this point).

Ripple strength measurements are made by placing the U-shaped template over the sample such that the center line of the template is directly above the center line of the sample. As soon as the template is in the right place, measurements of the distance (in mm) from the center line to each edge of the material should be measured and recorded. If the material has crimped enough to cover the center line of the sample, the distance should be above the center line can also be added. In addition, it should also be noted whether the edge of the material has just curled or has started to fold. After recording the measurements, the results for the gathered material should be adjusted to take into account the width of the crimp. This is accomplished by subtracting the width of the crimp from the respective results of the crimped materials.

After the measurements at a 25% stretch the 55 cm (21.5 '') marking material is again used of the pen. The crimp measurements should be made as described above and recorded. The test results are shown in Table 1.
