Abstract

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Textilware nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a textile product according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die EP-A2-0 238 950 beschreibt eine flächige Textilware als Warenbahn oder Formteil, das Polyamid-Polyester-Mischfilamentgarne mit großer Bruchkraftdehnung und großer Restdehnung besitzt, und welches für manche Anwendungszwecke im Automobilbereich eingesetzt wird, wie beispielsweise Himmelschalen, Türverkleidungen, Hutablagen oder Armaturentafeln, die durch Verpressen hergestellt werden, wobei die eingepressten Formen voll erhalten bleiben, was ein Verkleben des Textilgutes auf den Formteilen ohne störende elastische Spannung möglich machen soll. In dieser vorbekannten Druckschrift werden jedoch Textilbezüge für Kraftfahrzeugsitze oder Möbelsitze nicht beschrieben, an die besondere Anforderungen gestellt werden. Insbesondere hängt ihre Ansehnlichkeit und Lebensdauer von der Benutzung ab, die durch ein mehr oder weniger starkes Scheuern gekennzeichnet ist. Bei sogenannten Scheuerversuchen nach DIN EN ISO 12947 wurden mit vorbekannten Textilbezügen Scheuerwerte zwischen 25000 und 40000 Touren (Martindale Gerät) erzielt. Nachteilig macht sich insofern eine unzureichende Belastbarkeit bzw. Scheuerfestigkeit bei Textilwaren zur Herstellung von Sitzbezügen und Innenverkleidungen bemerkbar.EP-A2-0 238 950 describes a flat textile product as Web or molded part, the polyamide-polyester mixed filament yarn with great elongation at break and great Has residual elongation, and which for some applications is used in the automotive sector, such as sky cups, Door panels, hat racks or dashboards, which are produced by pressing, the pressed-in molds remain intact, which is a sticking of the textile goods on the molded parts without annoying elastic Should make tension possible. In this previously known However, printed textiles are textile covers for motor vehicle seats or furniture seats not described to the special Requirements are made. In particular, their prestige depends and lifespan based on use by a more or less strong abrasion is marked. In so-called abrasion tests according to DIN EN ISO 12947 with previously known textile covers, abrasion values between 25,000 and 40,000 tours (Martindale device) achieved. adversely Insufficient resilience or abrasion resistance in textile goods for the production of Seat covers and interior trim noticeable.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, hier Abhilfe zu schaffen und eine Textilware vorzusehen, die auch erhöhten Anforderungen gerecht wird und deshalb eine längere Lebensdauer von Textilbezügen bei ausgezeichneter Ansehnlichkeit beibehält.The invention is therefore based on the object, remedy here to create and provide a textile product that also meets increased requirements and therefore a longer one Lifespan of textile covers with excellent looks maintains.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die Textilware nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1, die gekennzeichnet ist durch eine auf einer Rundstrickmaschine hergestellte, bei 60° bis 65°C im Waschprozeß geschrumpfte Textilware, die eine Scheuertourenzahl > 50000 Touren nach DIN EN ISO 12947 aufweist. This task is solved by the textile goods after The preamble of claim 1, which is characterized by a made on a circular knitting machine, at 60 ° to 65 ° C in the washing process shrunk textile goods, the number of scrubbing > 50,000 tours according to DIN EN ISO 12947.

Die erfindungsgemäße erhebliche Steigerung der Scheuertourenzahl, die zu einer deutlich verbesserten erfindungsgemäßen Textilware führt, ist überraschenderweise auf die bei 60° bis 65°C geschrumpfte Textilware zurückzuführen, die ihre Länge beim Heisswaschprozeß verringert. Man kann davon ausgehen, daß hierdurch kleinere, engere Maschen an der Endware entstehen, welche der Scheuerung weit besser widerstehen, als die bisherigen größeren Maschen aus Normalgarn.The substantial increase in the number of scrubbing cycles according to the invention, to a significantly improved invention Textile goods is surprisingly leading to 60 ° to 65 ° C shrinked textile goods attributable to their Length in the hot washing process reduced. One can of it assume that this results in smaller, tighter stitches on the end product arise, which resist the abrasion far better, than the previous larger stitches made of normal yarn.

Das erfindungsgemäß eingesetzte Polyestergarn ist vom Typ PET oder PBT und kann auch in Kombination mit einem oder mehreren Normalgarnen eingesetzt werden. Scheuertourenzahlen von 50000 bis 65000 Touren und mehr nach der erwähnten DIN-Vorschrift können so erreicht werden.The polyester yarn used according to the invention is of the type PET or PBT and can also be used in combination with one or several normal yarns can be used. Scheuer Tour Numbers from 50,000 to 65,000 tours and more according to the aforementioned DIN regulation can be achieved in this way.

Durch die thermische Behandlung kann das Ausmaß der Schrumpfung beeinflußt werden, wobei höhere Temperaturen zu einer geringeren Schrumpfung führen, die durch eine chemische Strukturveränderung des polymeren Moleküls hervorgerufen wird.Thermal treatment can reduce the extent of shrinkage are influenced, with higher temperatures to a lower shrinkage caused by a chemical Structural change in the polymeric molecule becomes.

Während die eingangs genannte, vorbekannte Lehre flächige Textilware für das Verpressen auf Formteile einsetzt, bei denen bestimmte Dehnungswerte von besonderer Bedeutung sind, sind derartige Dehnungen bei der erfindungsgemäß eingesetzten, bei 60° bis 65°C im Waschprozeß geschrumpften Textilware von untergeordneter Bedeutung, während die Scheuertourenverbesserung aufgrund kleinerer, engerer Maschen die Besonderheit darstellt, da hier eine geringere Angriffsfläche beim Scheuern vorhanden ist, was eine deutliche Qualitätserhöhung mit sich bringt.While the previously known, flat teaching Uses textile goods for pressing onto molded parts, at where certain elongation values are of particular importance are such expansions in the case of the textile goods shrunk at 60 ° to 65 ° C in the washing process of minor importance while improving the scrubbing tour because of smaller, tighter meshes the specialty represents, since here a smaller attack surface when scrubbing is present, which is a significant increase in quality brings with it.

Während bei herkömmlichen Verfahren zur Schrumpfung im Wasserbad Temperaturen bis zu 40°C eingesetzt werden, wurde die erfindungsgemäß geschrumpfte Textilware demgegenüber bei 60° bis 65°C geschrumpft, wodurch das Garn zusammenspringt und eben schrumpft, jedoch noch "lebendig" bleibt.While with conventional processes for shrinking in a water bath Temperatures up to 40 ° C are used In contrast, textile goods shrunk according to the invention at 60 ° shrunk to 65 ° C, causing the yarn to collapse and just shrinks, but still remains "alive".

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Textilware, die auf einer Rundstrickmaschine hergestellt wird, sollte der Anteil des Polyestergarns der überwiegende Teil der Textilware sein, also das Grundgestrick bilden. Bezüglich des Gewichtes, der Breite, den Maschenreihen und Maschenstäbchen sind beim erfindungsgemäßen Textilbezug für den Fachmann noch folgende Angaben interessant: Gewicht Breite Maschenreihen Maschenstäbchen 233 gr/qm 160 170 100 oder 140 315 gr/qm 146 180 110 366 gr/qm 120 180 130 In the textile fabric according to the invention, which is produced on a circular knitting machine, the proportion of the polyester yarn should be the predominant part of the textile fabric, that is to say form the basic knitted fabric. Regarding the weight, the width, the rows of stitches and wales, the following details are interesting for the person skilled in the art in the textile cover according to the invention: Weight width courses wales 233 gr / sqm 160 170 100 or 140 315 gr / sqm 146 180 110 366 gr / sqm 120 180 130

Für den Fachmann dürfte es einleuchten, daß aus der erfindungsgemäßen Textilware ein Bezug oder dgl. für die unterschiedlichsten Anwendungszwecke gefertigt werden kann. Auch kann abschließend die erfindungsgemäße Textilware noch bei etwa 150°C endfixiert werden, wodurch die Schrumpfung weiter erhöht und die Ware planiert wird.It should be obvious to the person skilled in the art that from the invention Textile goods a cover or the like for the most varied Applications can be manufactured. Also can finally the textile goods according to the invention about 150 ° C can be final fixed, causing the shrinkage to continue is increased and the goods are leveled.
