Definitions

  • THIS INVENTION relates to towels or mats and it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved towel or mat which is durable, effective and can be effectively printed with a desired pattern or design.
  • a towel or mat comprising a combination of polyester and viscose fibres.
  • a towel or mat comprising a non-woven, stitch-bonded fabric.
  • a preferred form of towel embodying the invention comprises a non-­woven fabric which comprises a thin mat of fibres, preferably 50% polyester fibres and 50% viscose fibres which are held together by a succession of parallel seams of chain stitching extending across the fabric.
  • the polyester and viscose fibres, indicated at 10 and extending substantially horizontally in the drawing are held together by a series of parallel, closely spaced, vertical rows of chain stitching, indicated at 12, in an appropriate thread.
  • Each loop of chain stitching of each seam encompasses a narrow bundle of the fibres 10 of the mat, so that the fibres 10 and seams 12 effectively correspond with the warp and weft of a conventional woven fabric.
  • the fibre mat is about 1.5 mm thick
  • the stitch length is 2 mm
  • the transverse spacing between the parallel seams of stitching is 3.5 mm, but it will be appreciated that the invention is in no way limited to these dimensions.
  • the fabric is preferably formed by the method of British Patent No. 1268630 in the name of Cosmopolitan Textile Company Limited, in which process the stitches used for stitch bonding the fibres are locked by inter­engagement with loops of fibres drawn from the fibre mat being stitch bonded.
  • the fabric described may be screen printed with any desired pattern or design.
  • the fibres of the fabric are bonded together by particles of synthetic resin or the like binder.
  • resin or the like binder may be applied in liquid form, in the form of a spray, to the respective surface of the fabric at some stage prior to printing.
  • an appropriate fibre-bonding resin may be incorporated in the printing ink used for printing the fabric can be achieved by applying the ink to the fabric through the printing screen by spraying and by electrostatic polarisation of the ink being sprayed.
  • the last-­noted technique is particularly applicable where the "ink” used is adapted to present a metallic "gold” or “silver” appearance.
  • printing may be by printing blocks or plates rather than by screen.
  • the fabric particularly when resin treated as described, may with advantage be printed with reproduction of photographs or the like, using half-­tone screens or screen portions, or using half tone printing plates or blocks.
  • the necessary half-tone printing screens, plates or blocks are formed from corresponding photographic records produced by the method of British Patent No. 1540122 or British Patent No. 1588131, both in the name of Schafline Limited. "SCHAFLINE" is a Registered Trade Mark.
  • Towels made as described are particularly suited to use as bar towels.
  • Bar towels of the prior art have usually been made of terry towelling and because of the nap of the cloth, fine line design or patterning of such towels is impossible.
  • a bar towel manufactured as described above with reference to the drawing has been found to provide an ideal base for printing, for example by a screen printing technique and well defined fine line designs or patterns are obtainable without difficulty using this fabric.
  • a towel embodying the invention, made as described has been found to last longer, in comparable conditions of use, than a towel of terry towelling and yet has good liquid-­absorbing properties as the stitch bonded material readily soaks up liquid. This characteristic, coupled with its capacity for fine line printing design, which makes it ideal as a visual advertising medium, makes such a towel ideally suited as a bar towel.
  • the fabric used is not prone to unravelling or fraying along cut edges and so does not require to be hemmed along such edges. If desired, however, the edges of a towel thus made may be protected by overlock stitching.
  • towels embodying the invention are well suited for use as bar towels, when made in an appropriate size, towels made in the same manner will serve equally well as bathroom towels or beach or mats.
