Definitions

  • This invention concerns a method to produce a composite yarn consisting of textile threads and metallic wire and concerns also the composite yarn thus produced, as set forth in the respective main claims.
  • the composite yarn thus produced is employed in the manufacture of knitted underwear and outer knitted garments,, shirts, jeans, furnishing fabrics, curtains, blankets, carpets and other textile products.
  • the state of the art covers various types of composite yarns consisting of a metallic wire associated with one or more textile threads. These composite yarns are employed in the manufacture of fabrics, knitted goods, carpets, etc. which possess the properties of providing screening against electromagnetic waves or antistatic properties and earth the body of the person who wears clothes made with such fabrics.
  • these composite yarns are also employed in the production of fabrics that reduce physical pains associated with the breaking of bones inasmuch as they make normal the electrical charge of the body and reduce the differences of potential occurring in the body, for these differences of potential are the cause of pains due to the breaking of bones.
  • the philosophies which lead to the composite textile-metallic yarns are substantially two in number and affect the conformation of the metallic component.
  • a first philosophy provides for the use of segments of metallic wire which are assembled with the textile fibre component.
  • a second philosophy, from which this invention is derived, provides for the use of one or more continuous metallic wires.
  • the present invention is concerned with composite yarns employing continuous metallic wire.
  • the prior art document IT-BZ-92A000019 discloses a composite yarn in which at least two textile threads are wound on a taut metallic wire, which stays substantially straight substantially in the centre between the two textile threads.
  • This kind of yarn can be made only with a cording machine of the type used to produce cords or with a braiding machine.
  • Another method of the state of the art is to wind together textile threads and metallic wire, the metallic wire being alone by itself or combined with a textile filament; the composite yarn thus produced does not ensure that the metallic wire becomes located in a protected and covered position within the composite yarn, and this fact too creates problems of use of the metal and problems of allergy and of suitability to be worn.
  • EP-A-445872 describes a textile yarn composed of at least a metallic wire and at least a textile thread, where the purpose of the metallic wire is to increase the resistance of the composite yarn thus obtained, the composite yarn being used to produce articles of clothing which are particularly subject to stress, such as gloves and trousers.
  • the composite yarn produced according to EP'872 is intended for specific uses (the meat industry, the metal industry, the wood industry) where a particular resistance is required of the articles of clothing worn.
  • the metallic wire used in EP'872 serves to increase the resistance of the composite yarn and not to obtain an electromagnetic screening effect on the body of the person wearing the article of clothing obtained with the composite yarn.
  • the composite yarn as disclosed by EP'872 is obtained by twisting together a metallic wire with one or more textile threads, using traditional twisting methods (column 3, lines 1 and 2).
  • the metallic wire is not positioned straight and substantially central to the textile threads, thus remaining completely covered by them, it is wound in a spiral around them, creating problems of contact with the skin, possible allergic reactions, problems in dressing, injuries in the case of breakages, etc.
  • the presence of the metallic wire protruding from the composite yarn can create problems and possible breakages, and consequently the whole composite yarn may have to be discarded.
  • the method according to the invention enables a composite yarn to be produced from a continuous metallic wire and at least two textile threads, the textile threads having a fineness of between 5 and 142 tex (a metric number (Nm) between 7,000 and 200,000 metres per kilogram).
  • the continuous metallic wire has a diameter which may vary between 0.010 mm. and 0.100 mm., depending on the final method of use of the composite yarn.
  • the metal of which the metallic wire consists will be suitable for the end use of the textile product and therefore may be stainless steel, copper coated with silver and/or gold, aluminium which has been surface-passivated, etc.
  • the metallic wire may possibly be coated with a resin, which advantageously is of a conductive type.
  • the metallic wire is replaced by a metallic strap.
  • the metallic strap replacing the metallic wire has on one or both of its sides a protective adhering film of polyester, viscose or nylon.
  • the metallic wire or metallic strap has a cross-section of a polygonal shape.
  • the method according to the invention arranges for the metallic wire and textile threads to undergo a first coupling operation in which the threads and wire are united according to a desired reciprocal positioning.
  • the coupled threads and wire which have their axes substantially parallel and linear then undergo a twisting step in which the metallic wire and textile threads are bonded together by a number of required twists about the lengthwise axis of the resulting composite yarn.
  • the metallic wire coupled with two textile threads becomes located in a lateral position covered by the two coupled textile threads, so that the coupled metallic wire according to the invention is within the outer periphery of the finished yarn.
  • the properties of the metallic wire and textile threads employed and also the parameters of the twisting step vary according to the end use of the composite yarn according to the invention.
  • the reference number 10 in the attached figures denotes generally a method to produce a composite yarn 11 consisting of a metallic wire 12 and at least two textile threads 13.
  • the method 10 to produce a composite yarn 11 according to the invention includes a first coupling step 14 in which the continuous metallic wire 12 is caused to cooperate with at least two textile threads 13 so as to produce a coupled thread 15 that comprises at least two textile threads 13 and at least one metallic wire 12.
  • the coupling of the wire and threads takes place by first coupling the two textile threads and then by doubling the metallic wire with the coupled threads, taking care to place the metallic wire 12 between the two textile threads 13 in the first coupling step 14.
  • This coupling step 14 may be carried out with the common coupling machines employed in the traditional textile industry.
  • the coupling machines employed may be of the type with a thread-guide or of the type with a grooved roller.
  • the textile threads 13 or wire 12 are unwound by being drawn from a hank positioned on a stationary swift.
  • the invention arranges that in every successive step in the production of the composite yarn there is always unwinding from a hank positioned on a stationary swift.
  • the coupled thread 15 undergoes thereafter a twisting step 16, in which the metallic wire 12 and textile threads 13 forming the coupled thread 15 are bonded together by imparting a desired number of twists which wind the metallic wire 12 and threads 13 about the lengthwise axis of the composite yarn 11 thus produced.
  • This second twisting step 16 can be carried out with the common twisting machines employed in the traditional textile industry.
  • the metallic wire 12 has a diameter which may vary from 0.01 to 0.10 mm. depending on the end use of the composite yarn 11, while the textile threads 13 employed have a count of between 5 and 142 tex (metric number between 7.000 to 200.000 metres/kg.).
  • the number of twists imparted to the coupled thread 15 in the twisting step 16 will vary according to the end use of the composite yarn 11 and will generally range from 150 to 1000 twists per metre.
  • the metallic wire 12 and the textile threads 13 undergo the twisting step 16 and are therefore spirally arranged about an ideal axis.
  • the composite yarn 11 according to the invention consists of a metallic wire 12 coupled to and twisted with two textile threads 13
  • the metallic wire 12 becomes positioned in a lateral position in the zone of mutual support of the two textile threads 13.
  • the metallic wire 12 becomes located in particular in an internal recess within a substantially V-shaped space 17 created at the point of mutual contact of the two twisted textile threads 13 (see Fig.3).
  • This positioning entails protection of the metallic wire 12 by being covered by part of the two textile threads 13, which cover the metallic wire 12 at least partly.
  • the textile threads 13 create protective spines at the two sides of the metallic wire 12, so that the metallic wire 12 does not emerge from the spines of the textile threads 13.
  • the metallic wire 12 is sunk in the textile yarn which thus acts as a protection, insulation and elastic absorption of the mechanical tensions which may occur in the metallic wire 12.
  • a fabric made with the yarn according to the invention behaves, when in contact with the skin, like a normal textile fabric since the textile threads are the threads which come in contact with the skin, and at the same time behaves like a Faraday cage owing to the screening effect of the metallic wire.
  • the method according to the invention makes it also possible to employ as metallic wire 12 a copper wire with a coating of gold and/or silver.
  • the textile part of the fabric undergoes a required controlled shrinkage so that small segments of the metallic wire 12 may come to the surface; the shrinkage of the textile part may occur by washing the fabric for instance.
  • the metallic wire emerging in segments from the composite yarn 11 forming the fabric, comes into contact with the wearer's skin. This contact is sought for and desired since it enables the composite yarn 11 to act not only as a Faraday cage but also as a conductor, thus making uniform the electrical charges in the body of the person wearing the garment made with the composite yarn 11 according to the invention.
  • the composite yarn 11 according to the invention makes possible the attenuation of the differences of electrical potential created within the body and deemed to be the cause of pains associated with the breaking of bones.
