Definitions
- the present invention relates to warp-stretch woven fabrics, particularly to twill fabrics comprising bare elastomeric ends.
- Warp-stretch fabrics are disclosed in Japanese Patent Applications JP47-021274 and JP3-287833, in which the elastomeric fibers providing the stretch have been covered with a non-elastomeric fiber such as a nylon or polyester to make a combination yarn, and then sizing, drying, and warping the combination yam before weaving. These preparation steps make the elastomeric fiber more costly.
- United States Patent 3,169,558 discloses fabrics in which the spandex is twisted before being woven in a leno construction to avoid elastomeric fiber slippage and to dose pinholes in the fabric.
- leno fabrics are generally too open-textured for use in apparel, and they are expensive.
- the present invention provides a warp-stretch twill fabric having a face side and a back side and comprising non-elastomeric ends and bare elastomeric ends wherein: a ratio of non-elastomeric ends to elastomeric ends is at least about 2:1; a ratio of non-elastomeric ends to elastomeric ends is no higher than about 6:1; an elastomeric end face exposure count of 2 is less frequent than once per 10 picks; and the elastomeric ends float over no more than 3 picks on the face side.
- Figures 1, 2, 3, 6, 6A, 7, 8, 10, and 15 through 20 illustrate weaving lift plans for fabrics of the invention.
- Figures 4, 5, 9, and 11 through 14 illustrate comparative weaving lift plans.
- This invention provides warp-stretch woven twill fabrics, including regular, herringbone, and pointed twills made from bare elastomeric ends that exhibit little or no grin-through.
- Regular twills can include 2/1, 1/2, 1/3, and 2/2 twills. Modified twills, in which additional lifts have been added to the plan, are also within the scope of the present invention. It was also surprising that such fabrics could be made with low slippage of the bare elastomeric ends, because it was believed that frequent weaving of the warp and weft fibers (ends and picks, respectively), a characteristic of plain wovens and similar constructions, was necessary to control slippage.
- bare elastomeric end means a warp-direction uncovered continuous filament (optionally a coalesced multifilament) or a plurality of filaments which, free of diluents, has a break elongation in excess of 100% independent of any crimp and which when stretched to iwice us le ⁇ gi ⁇ , ⁇ ei ⁇ rar one mi ⁇ uie, and then released, retracts to less than 1.5 times its original length within one minute of being released.
- Such filaments include, but are not limited to, rubber filament, spandex, biconstituent filament, and elastoester.
- "Spandex” means a manufactured filament in which the filament- forming substance is a long chain synthetic polymer comprised of at least 85% by weight of a segmented polyurethane.
- “Elastoester” means a manufactured filament in which the fiber forming substance is a long-chain synthetic polymer composed of at least 50% by weight of aliphatic polyether and at least 35% by weight of polyester.
- "Biconstituent filament” means a continuous filament comprising at least two polymers adhered to each other along the length of the filament, each polymer being in a different generic class, for example an elastomeric polyetheramide core and a poiyamide sheath with lobes or wings.
- Grin-through is a term used to describe the exposure, in a fabric, of bare elastomeric filaments to view. Grin-through can manifest itself as an undesirable glitter. If a choice must be made, low grin-through on the face side is more desirable than low grin-through on the back side.
- the twill fabric of the present invention comprises non-elastomeric ends and bare elastomeric ends.
- the picks can be elastomeric or non- elastomeric.
- the ends and picks can be one or more types of elastomeric and non-elastomeric yarns and filaments.
- the ratio of non-elastomeric to elastomeric ends is typically at least about 2:1 and generally no higher than about 6:1, preferably at least about 3:1 «and no higher than about 4:1.
- the ratio is too low, the elastomeric ends can be excessively exposed to the surface of the fabric, resulting in undesirable visual and tactile aesthetics.
- the fabric can have undesirably low stretch-and-recovery properties.
- the elastomeric ends float over no more than 3 picks on the face side of the fabric, preferably no more than 2 picks. It is preferred that the elastomeric ends also float over the picks on the back side for no more than 3 picks and more preferably for no more than 2 picks.
- Elastomeric end exposure count denotes the number of non- elastomeric ends adjacent to each elastomeric end which are on the opposite side of the pick yarn or continuous filament at a given pick, compared to the elastomeric end. The count can be for the face or the back of the fabric, depending on whether the elastomeric end is on the face or the back at the pick in question, and can have integral values of zero, one, or two.
- the elastomeric end face exposure count is considered, and similarly for the back.
- four non-elastomeric ends are shown in a 2/2 twill pattern into which one bare elastomeric yarn end has been woven.
- "H” indicates a non-elastomeric ('hard') end
- "E” indicates a bare elastomeric end.
- "EC” is an abbreviation for exposure count, "F” for face side, and "B” for back side.
- a filled square indicates a non-elastomeric end passing over a pick
- an empty square indicates a non-elastomeric end passing under a pick
- an "X" indicates a bare elastomeric end passing over a pick
- an "O” indicates a bare elastomeric end passing under a pick.
- the numbers indicate the elastomeric end exposure count for each pick. At the first pick of the pattern repeat, the bare elastomeric end is on the face side of the fabric, and one adjacent non-elastomeric end is on the back side of the fabric, so the elastomeric end face exposure count for that pick is one.
- the bare elastomeric end is on the back, and both adjacent non-elastomeric ends are on the front, so the back exposure count is two.
- the bare elastomeric end is on the face and one adjacent non-elastomeric end is on the back, so the elastomeric end face exposure count for that pick is one.
- the elastomeric end is on the back, as are both adjacent non-elastomeric ends, so the elastomeric end back exposure count is zero.
- the fabric of the invention has an elastomeric end face exposure count of two less frequently than once every 10 picks.
- the fabric preferably has a face exposure count no higher than one in a pattern repeat, and more preferably a face exposure count of zero in a pattern repeat.
- a face exposure count no higher than one in a pattern repeat, and more preferably a face exposure count of zero in a pattern repeat.
- at least one adjacent non-elastomeric end float over at least 2 picks on the face side.
- the face exposure count is two at a frequency higher than once per 10 picks, grin-through of the bare elastomeric filament on the face can be unacceptably high, especially when the elastomeric end floats over 2 or 3 picks.
- the fabric have an elastomeric end back exposure count no higher than one.
- Figures exemplify weaving lift plans, and each represents a single pattern repeat.
- Figure 1 has been described elsewhere herein. Characteristics of fabrics made using the plans of Figures 2, 3, 4, and 5, which are lift plans for 2/2 twills in which the elastomeric end is variously woven, are given in the Examples. Characteristics of fabrics made using the plans of Figures 6, 6A, 7, 8, and 9, which are lift plans for 3/1 twills (a 1/3 twill in the case of Figure 9) in which the elastomeric end is variously woven, are also given in the Examples.
- Figure 10 is a lift plan for a 1/2/2/3 twill, further described in Example 9.
- Figures 11 , 12, 13, and 14 are comparative plans for plain and weft rib fabrics, into which an elastomeric end has been woven; characteristics of fabrics made following these lift plans are also further described in the Examples.
- Figure 15 is a lift plan of a 2/1 twill of the invention in which the lifts of the three bare elastomeric ends in the repeat are not offset from each other.
- Each of the three bare elastomeric ends in the repeat which are denoted ⁇ 1", "E2", and “E3" has a different exposure count pattern, in which "F1” denotes the elastomeric end face exposure count and "Bl” denotes the elastomeric end back exposure count for the first elastomeric end "E1", and so on.
- the ratio of non-elastomeric ends to elastomeric ends is 2:1, the highest elastomeric end face exposure count is one, the elastomeric ends float over a maximum of two picks on the face side and one pick on the back side, and the maximum pick float is four.
- Figure 16 is a lift plan for a modified 3/1 twill of the invention in which the lifts of the bare elastomeric ends are offset within the repeat. All the bare elastomeric end exposure counts are zero in this fabric, the ratio of non-elastomeric to bare elastomeric ends is 4:1, the elastomeric ends float over a maximum of three picks, and the maximum pick float is five.
- Figure 17 is a lift plan for a 2/2 twill of the invention in which the ratio of non-elastomeric to bare elastomeric ends is 4:1, an elastomeric end face exposure count of 2 occurs only once every 12 picks, and the elastomeric ends float over up to two picks.
- Figure 18 is a lift plan for a modified 2/1 twill of the invention in which the ratio of non-elastomeric to bare elastomeric ends is 5:1 , the highest elastomeric end face exposure count is zero, the elastomeric ends 'float' over one pick on the face side, and the highest pick float is five.
- Figure 19 is a lift plan for a 2/2 herringbone twill of the invention in which the ratio of non-elastomeric to bare elastomeric ends is 4:1 , the highest elastomeric end face exposure count is one, the elastomeric ends 'float' over one pick on the face side, the maximum pick face float is three, and, when the elastomeric end is on the face side, at least one adjacent non- elastomeric end floats over two picks.
- Figure 20 is a lift plan for a 2/2 pointed twill of the invention in which the ratio of non-elastomeric to bare elastomeric ends is 3:1, the highest elastomeric end face exposure count is one, the elastomeric ends float over no more than 2 picks, the maximum pick face float is three, and, when the elastomeric end is on the face side, at least one adjacent non- elastomeric end floats over two picks.
- the fabric of the invention when finished, preferably has at least about 15% and less than about 50% warp-stretch.
- Fabric having less than about 15% wa ⁇ -stretch can have inadequate stretch and recovery, and fabric having more than about 50% wa ⁇ -stretch can have low recovery upon stretching or washing.
- Fabric stretch can be adjusted by changing the details of construction, for example pick density, and/or the dyeing and finishing conditions, for example heat-setting.
- the fabric of the invention can have single-directional (warp) stretch or bi-directional (warp and weft) stretch. In bi-directional stretch fabrics, the weft direction stretch is also preferably at least about 15%.
- the fabrics can be about 1-10 wt%, typically about 1.5 -5 wt% elastomeric ends, based on the total weight of the fabric. It as unexpected to find that non-elastomeric ends adjacent to elastomeric ends need not be woven opposite to the elastomeric ends to restrict slippage of the elastomeric ends. If necessary, however, various optional measures can be taken to control such slippage.
- Such measures include increasing such 'opposite' weaving of an elastomeric end and one of the adjacent non-elastomeric ends, weaving the elastomeric ends 1/1 with respect to the picks, heat-setting the fabric at any point in its processing before it is cut into garment-sized pieces, using a lower elastomeric filament denier, and reducing elastomeric end draft during weaving (without reducing it so much that the weaving process is compromised or the stretch in the final fabric is excessively reduced).
- Such measures can also be used to improve the flatness of the fabric, especially when the elastomeric ends float over 2 or 3 picks.
- non-elastomeric ends or picks there is no particular limitation on the nature of the non-elastomeric ends or picks, and poly(hexamethylene adipamide) fibers, polycaprolactam fibers, poly(ethylene terephthalate) fibers, poly(trimethylene terephthalate) fibers, cotton, wool, linen, rayon, acetate, lyocell, and the like can be used in either or both the warp and weft.
- non-elastomeric fibers are used which can withstand relatively high heat-set temperature
- conventional spandex can be used, for example Lycra ® T-162C or T-902C.
- Spandex with a higher heat-set efficiency can also be used, for example as disclosed in United States Patents 5,981,686 and 5,948,875, and United States Patent Application S/N 09/790422.
- the spandex have a heat-set efficiency at approximately 175°-190°C of ⁇ 80%, as measured by 1) mounting the spandex on a 10-cm frame, 2) stretching the spandex 1.5X, 3) placing the frame and spandex horizontally in an oven preheated to 175°-190°C for 120 seconds, 4) allowing the spandex to relax and the frame to cool to room temperature, 5) immersing the frame and spandex in a boiling water solution containing nonionic detergent for 60 min, 6) placing the frame and spandex in boiling water at pH5 for 30 min, 7) drying the spandex at room temperature, 8) measuring the length of the spandex, and 9) calculating the heat set efficiency
- HSE% heat-set length - original length x 100 stretched length - original length
- the elastomeric filament In order for the elastomeric filament better to withstand the high friction environment of the loom shed, it is preferred that its linear density be about 40-260 denier (44-289 dtex), more preferably 70-180 denier (77- 200 decitex).
- a number of precautions can be taken, especially when weaving the elastomer with a high friction staple yarn such as cotton or wool.
- a high friction staple yarn such as cotton or wool.
- the ' elastomeric ends be drawn in at the first shaft so they experience as little up/down motion as possible and that as many as possible of the elastomeric ends in each dent be positioned next to the reed wire of the loom.
- cotton is used in making the fabric of the present invention, it can be advantageous to reduce levels of cotton fly, which can settle on the bare elastomeric filaments.
- vacuum manifolds can be used at the ends and across the width of the shed, under and over the warp threadsheets.
- the path of the bare elastomeric ends from the guide roller bar of the loom to the beat-up position be substantially horizontal and without unnecessary directional changes and that the elastomeric ends be fed to the loom at a substantially constant draft and speed by using a braking device controlled in common with the loom takeup.
- the let-off means used to provide the elastomeric warps from the beams can be either "negative” (using a brake to control the speed at which the threadsheet is pulled into the loom by the fabric takeup) or "positive” (using a motor-driven beam rotating at constant speed to control the threadsheet, as described in United States Patent 6,216,747).
- Tension is applied to the elastomeric wa ⁇ threadsheets between the beam and the loom, and the elastomeric fibers are stretched 10% to 60% of their elongation at break, for example 1.5X to 6X.
- 140 denier T162C Lycra ® spandex can be stretched 1.5X, 2.0X and 2.5X when tensions of 4 gram/end, 7 gram/end and 12 gram/end are applied, respectively.
- samples 60 cm long and 6.5 cm wide were cut from the fabric at least 10 cm from the selvage.
- Three samples were cut for each direction (wa ⁇ and/or weft) that was to be tested, and the samples were selected from different parts of the fabric to minimize the possibility that two samples might contain the same yams.
- the long direction corresponded to the stretch direction to be tested.
- Each sample was unraveled to 5 cm width, removing about the same number of yarns on each side.
- One end of each sample was folded back on itself to form a loop, a seam was sewn across the width of the specimen to secure the loop, and a 0.65 cm notch was cut into the loop.
- One beam was prepared with 150 denier/50 textured filament poly(ethylene terephthalate) fiber (from Unifi) at 88 ends/inch and 5544 total ends.
- Type 162C Lycra ® spandex at 22 ends/inch and 462 ends per beam (1386 ends total) were ganged together. The ratio of non-elastomeric ends to elastomeric ends was 4:1. Unless otherwise noted, 7g/end tension was applied to the spandex ends.
- a full-width comb was used on the spandex let-off to resist entanglement among the ends, and a cylindrical steel bar (optionally sprayed with silicone lubricant) was placed across the loom between the non-elastomeric yam and spandex threadsheets just before they entered the shed.
- the spandex was drawn into the first harness, and each repeat pattern corresponded to one dent.
- the weft yarns were woven at 478 picks/minute.
- Each greige fabric in the Examples was finished by first passing it under low tension through hot water three times at 160°F, 180°F and 202°F (71 °C, 82°C, 94°C, respectively).
- Fabrics containing only synthetic fibers were de-sized and pre-scoured with 6 wt% Synthazyme ® (a starch- hydrolyzing enzyme from Dooley Chemicals LLC), 1 wt% Lubit ® 64 (nonionic lubricant from Sybron, Inc.), and 0.5 wt% Merpol ® LFH (surfactant, a registered trademark of E.
