Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a knitted blanket provided with a pile on one side, and more particularly, it is capable of forming a faint and soft open-worked dyeing pattern that is light and soft. The present invention relates to a knitted blanket capable of giving a refreshing impression and a method for producing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, as a knitted blanket having a pile on one side represented by a Meyer blanket or the like, in many cases, a pile on which a variety of dyeing patterns are formed by printing on the pile is marketed. I have. The dyed design given to such a pile is an important component that affects the design quality, quality, and the like as a blanket.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional knitted blanket, when printing is performed on the pile, it is natural that the printing is performed from the pile surface side where the pile exists. Since the dyed pattern is formed on the pile tip or the entire pile by printing from the pile surface side, there are the following problems.

[0004] That is, the conventional knitted blanket has a clear dyeing pattern with a clear outline and a clear color boundary, since a dyeing pattern is formed at least at the tip of the pile. However, such a clear dyed pattern was not always suitable in relation to the use of the blanket. For example, in a mild spring and autumn season, a sharp dyed pattern may give a user a hot impression, and particularly in a summer season in which a cool feeling is required, a clear dyed pattern can meet such a user's request. It was not something.

[0005] Further, in the conventional knitted blanket, since the dye is applied to at least the tip of the pile as described above, there is a problem that the attached dye deteriorates the feel and feel. That is, the texture before dyeing, the touch cannot be maintained as it is, and therefore, the excellent texture,
The touch could not be secured.

Further, since a dye which is a chemical substance is applied to the tip of the pile which comes into direct contact with human skin, etc.,
It was not always preferable in terms of safety and health.

[0007] In addition, the conventional knitted blanket has a problem that the volume of the pile is reduced.

The present invention has been made in view of such a technical background, and is capable of improving the safety and hygiene in addition to being excellent in texture, providing a sufficient sense of volume, and fading lightly. It is an object of the present invention to provide a knitted blanket capable of forming a soft, openwork-like delicate dyeing pattern and giving a refreshing impression, and a method for producing the same.

[0009]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present inventor has conducted intensive studies and found that the pile knitted fabric has
Instead of printing from the pile side as in the past,
By performing the printing process from the non-pile surface side, the pile root can be dyed at the pile root without dyeing the pile tip, and the pile root can be seen through the pile yarns. The dyed pattern becomes a fascinating, openwork-like appearance, and thus can give a strong refreshing impression, and since the dye is not applied to the pile tip, an excellent texture can be secured.
It has been found that the improvement in safety and health can be achieved, and a sufficient sense of volume can be provided, and the present invention has been completed.

That is, in the knitted blanket according to the present invention, in a pile knitted fabric in which a pile is provided on only one side and fluff is formed by the pile, the pile tip is dyed by printing from the non-pile side. A dye pattern is applied to the pile root without being performed, so that the dye pattern at the root can be seen through the pile yarns.

The pattern is formed by dyeing the pile base at the opposite side by printing from the non-pile surface side, that is, the print dye penetrates into the pile base through the base knitting structure. Since the root portion is dyed and dyed through such an infiltration process, the dyeing pattern itself at the pile root portion is vague, to constitute a pattern having a unique blurred atmosphere. Become. In addition, since the dyed pattern at the base of the pile is seen through the pile yarns, the pattern can be made to be a light and soft-looking watermark-like pattern, and a refreshing impression can be given. In this manner, the dyed design having a sense of depth, which has not been seen in the conventional knitted blanket, is formed by seeing through the space between the pile yarns. As described above, the dyed pattern at the base of the pile, which itself has a unique atmosphere of a blurred shape, can be made to have a faint, watermark-like interest by being further visible through the pile yarns. An unprecedented novel design is formed, and the design can be significantly improved, and the added value as a blanket can be significantly enhanced. Furthermore, since a refreshing impression and a cool feeling can be given by forming such a watermark-like pattern, for example, spring and autumn items,
Even summer items can be made sufficiently suitable to meet the needs of the user.

Further, since the tip of the pile is not dyed, the texture and feel are not reduced, and the original excellent texture and feel are secured. In addition, since the dye is not attached to the tip of the pile, direct contact of the dye, which is a chemical substance, with a human body such as skin can be significantly reduced, and the safety and health can be improved. In addition, the volume of the pile is sufficiently secured.

[0013] Further, the method for producing a knitted blanket according to the present invention is characterized in that printing is performed from the non-pile surface side of a pile knitted fabric in which a pile made of fibers that are dyeable to a dye used for printing is provided on only one surface. In this method, the pile root is selectively dyed without dyeing the pile tip by the printing.

Since the printing is performed from the non-pile surface side, selective dyeing can be performed in which the pile root is dyed without dyeing the pile tip. Moreover,
It does not require special complicated steps to perform selective dyeing, but simply prints from the non-pile side, so that productivity can be increased and production can be performed at low cost. it can. In addition, the dyeing pattern is formed by the dyeing process, in which the dye is wrapped around the pile base through the ground knitting structure and penetrates by dyeing to dye the pile base. It has a peculiar, blurred and unique atmosphere.
Since the knitted blanket manufactured by this manufacturing method is the knitted blanket according to the above-described invention, it has a novel design that gives a refreshing impression by forming a light, soft, open-looking quaint dyeing pattern. It will be. In addition, since the pile tip is not dyed, a knitted blanket having an excellent texture, a sufficient volume feeling, and an improvement in safety and hygiene can be manufactured.

As the pile knitted fabric, pile yarns made of fibers that are dyeable to dyes used for printing are knitted into the ground knitted structure at predetermined intervals by a double Russell knitting machine. It is preferable to use a pile knitted fabric in which the rising areas are arranged in a dispersed state. Since the non-starting area of the pile yarn group is provided, it is possible to promote the printing dye to wrap around the pile root side through the area, and thereby the pile root through the ground knitting structure of the printing dye. It is possible to sufficiently permeate the part. Further, since the non-starting area is given priority to the wraparound of the printing dye to the pile base in this manner, the pattern near the non-starting area is assumed to have a greater depth than the pattern in the starting area. This makes it possible to form a watermark-like design with a more three-dimensional appearance and depth. Furthermore, since the non-startup area is provided in the ground knitting structure,
In addition to being excellent in air permeability, the amount of pile yarn used is reduced, so that the weight can be reduced as compared with a conventional blanket having a pile on the entire surface, and the cost can be reduced. In addition, since the non-starting regions are arranged in a dispersed state, the texture (tactile sensation) as a blanket can be made softer and better.

It is preferable that the area ratio of the rising region of the pile yarn group to the ground knitting structure is 10 to 90%. By setting the ratio in such a range, it is possible to form a lighter and softer-looking dyed dyed pattern. At the same time, a feeling of depth can be further provided.

It is desirable to use polyester fibers as the fibers constituting the ground knitting structure, use acrylic fibers as the fibers constituting the pile yarn, and use disperse dyes as the printing dye. In general, disperse dyes are used for light-color dyeing of acrylic fibers, so that the dyed pattern can be made lighter and softer. In addition, since the base knitting structure is made of polyester fiber which has high dyeing properties with respect to the disperse dye, the base knitting structure can be printed well, and thus the pile base,
Both dyeing of the ground knitted tissue can be performed simultaneously, and the production efficiency is excellent. Furthermore, since the stained pattern of the ground knitting structure, particularly the dyed pattern of the non-starting region in the ground knitting structure, is also seen through the pile yarn groups, the dyed pattern of the pile root portion is further combined with the dyed pattern. It can be a watermark-like design with a feeling and three-dimensional feeling.

Another preferred pile knitted fabric is a pile knitted fabric in which one to six piles are woven in the wale direction with respect to the ground yarn of the ground knitting structure. The dyeing of the printing dye to the pile root side can be promoted through the part having no pile existing in 1 to 6 lines, so that the penetration of the printing dye into the pile root through the ground knitting structure is sufficient. And the pile root can be dyed more reliably.

In the pile knitted fabric of the latter form, it is desirable to use polyester fibers as the fibers constituting the ground knitting structure, use acrylic fibers as the fibers constituting the pile yarn, and use disperse dyes as the printing dye. . In general, disperse dyes are used for light-color dyeing of acrylic fibers, so that the dyed pattern can be made lighter and softer. In addition, since the base knit structure is made of polyester fiber having high dyeability to the disperse dye, the base knit structure can be printed well. And the stained pattern of the ground knitting structure, particularly the dyed pattern of the pile-free portion in the ground knitted structure is also seen through the pile yarns, so that the dyed pattern of the pile root portion is further combined with the dyed pattern of the pile knitting. It can be a watermark-like design with a feeling and three-dimensional feeling.

[0020]

Next, an embodiment of a knitted blanket according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the knitted blanket (1) shown in FIGS.
(3) is a pile yarn (fluff).

This knitted blanket (1) is a Meyer blanket, in which pile yarn groups are woven on the ground knitting structure (2) every other length and width in a grid, and the pile yarn group rising area (1) is formed.
The blanket cloth (6) is sewn to the periphery of a blanket cloth (4) in which the non-starting area (11) and the non-rise area (11) are arranged in a mutually dispersed state. 3) is formed, the pile tip (7) is not dyed, and a dye pattern is provided on the pile root (6), and the dye pattern of the pile root (6) is not dyed. The formation was made by printing from the non-pile side.

Each grid unit in the blanket cloth (4) has a substantially square shape extending over several courses (horizontal) and several wales (vertical) of the ground knitting structure.
The pile yarn groups are woven every other, and the rising regions (10) of the pile yarn groups are formed in a dispersed state with respect to the ground knitting structure. The fluff (3) is formed by the fluffing treatment or the like of the pile yarn, and the fluff (3) in the rising area (10) imparts heat retention as the blanket (1).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the non-rise region (11) includes a ground region (11a) consisting only of a ground knitting structure (2) where no pile yarn is woven, and a ground knitting structure (11). 2) The plane knitting regions (11b) in which pile yarns are knitted in a plane are alternately arranged in both the vertical and horizontal directions, and the former ground region (11a) is mesh-shaped, Can easily pass through, and excellent air permeability can be imparted as the blanket (1).

As described above, the denser fluff (3) in the rising area (10) provides heat insulation, while the ground area (11a) provides better air permeability. As a whole, it is possible to secure a suitable heat retaining property that does not suffer from heat, and at the same time, it is possible to secure excellent air permeability, and it is suitable for spring and autumn items and summer items. The plane knitting region (11b) has a pile yarn knitted in a plane on the mesh-like ground knitting structure (2), and thus is just intermediate between the rising region (10) and the ground region (11a). It has performance (moderate heat retention and air permeability), and by appropriately setting the formation ratio of the plane knitting region (11b) in the non-starting region (11), without changing the design as a blanket, A blanket (1) having desired functions (heat insulation, air permeability) can be obtained. Of course, the entire non-rise area (11) may be configured to be the ground area (11a), or the non-rise area (11) may be configured.
May be configured as a flat knitting area (11b).

In addition, since the non-starting area (11) is provided, the amount of pile yarn used is reduced as compared with the case where the pile layer is formed on the entire ground knitting structure.
There is an advantage that the weight can be reduced and the cost can be reduced. In addition, the non-startup area (1
Since 1) and the rising area (10) are arranged in a mutually dispersed state, the texture (tactile sensation) as a blanket can be made soft and good.

On the other hand, with regard to the stained pattern, the pile tip (7) is not dyed and the dyed pattern is applied to the pile base (6). Since the pile yarn is fluffed, a part of the fluff (3) is covered with a gap at an upper position of the non-raised region (11). Since the dyed pattern (6a) of the pile base (6) is to be seen from the space, that is, from the gap between the fluffs (3), the dyed pattern (6a) becomes pale and watermark-like, and A fresh impression can be given, and it also has a sense of depth.

Further, the dyeing pattern (6
The formation of a) is performed by printing from the non-pile surface side, that is, through a permeation diffusion process in which the printing dye permeates the pile root (6) through the ground knitted structure (2). The dyed pattern at the base of the pile (6
a) The pattern itself has a blurry, blurred and unique atmosphere. In this way, the dye pattern at the base of the pile, which has a unique atmosphere that is dim in itself, is seen through the pile yarns. Is constituted. A refreshing impression and a cool feeling can be given by forming such a watermark-like dyeing pattern, and thus, for example, a spring-autumn item or a summer item can be sufficiently matched to the user's requirements.

Furthermore, since the pile tip (7) is not dyed, the dyeing does not lower the texture and the touch, so that the original excellent texture and touch can be secured. In addition, since a dye, which is a chemical substance, is not applied to the tip of the pile (7) that comes into direct contact with human skin or the like, safety and health can be improved. In addition, a sufficient volume feeling of the pile can be ensured.

The knitted blanket is a Meyer blanket,
It can be manufactured using a double Russell knitting machine as in the conventional case. That is, while knitting two ground knitting structures,
The pile yarn is knitted so as to be laid between the ground knitting structures, and the pile yarn is cut off (center cut) in the middle to divide the pile yarn into two pile knitted fabrics, and the pile yarn is subjected to hair treatment. However, in order to arrange the rising regions (10) of the pile yarn groups in a dispersed state with respect to the ground knitting structure (2), the pile yarns are formed in the ground knitting structure (2) during the knitting. What is necessary is just to set it so that several courses and several wales may be laid vertically and horizontally at every several courses and several wales.

More specifically, in the double Russell knitting machine shown in FIG. 9, needles (6F) and (6B) arranged along the needle beds (5) and (5) are guided by guides (7). Weft (insertion yarn) (L ₁ ), warp (chain yarn)
(L ₂ ), pile yarn (L ₃ ) (L ₄ ), warp (L ₅ ),
Supplying the weft (L ₆ ), the weft (L ₁ ) and the warp (L ₂ )
While front ground knitted tissue (2F), organizes the rear side of the ground knitted tissue (2B) by warp (L ₅₎ and the weft (L ₆₎ by the pile yarn (L ₃₎ (L ₄₎ both land Knitting organization (2F)
(2B) The knitting is performed by knitting between the two piles. At the time of these knittings, one pile yarn (L ₃ ) has a width of several wales, every several courses, and has a double knitting structure (2F) (2F).
B) The knitting between the spaces and the flat knitting along the warp (L ₂ ) in the front ground knitting structure (2F) are alternately performed, and the other pile yarn (L ₄ ) is the pile yarn (L ₄ ). ₃ )
In the row next to the row in which the knitting is performed, the yarn between the two ground knitting structures (2F) and (2B) is laid every several courses with the width of several wales and the warp (L ₅ ) to the rear side knitting structure (2B) ) Are alternately performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, the pile yarn (L ₄ ) is hooked to the plane knitted portion (11) of the row where the pile yarn (L ₃ ) is knitted.
Perform at a position adjacent to b). That knitting by shifting one pitch so as not adjacent to the other pile yarn (L ₃₎ of the multiplied I portions (rising region) (10). By cutting the middle (M) of the piles (L ₃ ) and (L ₄ ) wound by the cutter (8) while performing such knitting, two pile knitted fabrics are obtained. FIG. 10 shows a knitting structure diagram for the above knitting. In FIGS. 7 and 8, for simplicity of illustration, the grid unit of the ground knitting structure (2) is assumed to cover three courses and three wales.
These numerical values can be set variously, and are usually about 5 courses and 5 wales. The gauge number of the double Russell knitting machine is usually about 14 to 20 gauge / inch.

In the above, as a fiber constituting the pile yarn, a fiber which is dyeable with respect to a dye used in later printing is used. As fibers constituting the ground knitting structure (2),
It may be either dyeable or non-dyeable to the printing dye, but it is preferable to use a dyeing dye. If the dyeing property is adopted, a dyed pattern can be formed on the ground knitted tissue (2). As for the dyeing pattern,
This is because the appearance can be seen through the pile yarn groups, and in combination with the dyed pattern (6a) of the pile root portion (6), a watermark-like pattern having a more depth and three-dimensional appearance can be obtained. . In addition, the combination of the unevenness due to the rising and non-rising regions and the formation of such a watermark-like design with a three-dimensional effect forms an unprecedented novel design.

The dyes used for printing include, for example, disperse dyes, cationic dyes, acid dyes and the like. Further, the fiber constituting the pile yarn is not particularly limited,
For example, acrylic fiber, cotton fiber, rayon fiber, wool fiber, polyester fiber and the like can be mentioned. The fiber constituting the ground yarn is not particularly limited, but examples include polyester fiber, nylon fiber, rayon fiber and the like.

For example, when a disperse dye is used as the printing dye, it is preferable to use polyester fiber as the fiber constituting the ground knitting structure (2) and acrylic fiber as the fiber constituting the pile yarn. Generally, the disperse dye is used for light-color dyeing of acrylic fiber, so that the dyed pattern (6a) at the base of the pile (6) can be made lighter and softer, so that the refreshing impression and coolness can be further improved. Can be given. In addition, since the ground knitting structure (2) is made of polyester fiber having a high dyeing property with respect to the disperse dye, the ground knitting structure (2) can be dyed favorably and evenly. Polyester fibers also have the advantages of being inexpensive and having excellent strength.

The pile yarn group rising area (10)
Is preferably 10 to 90%. If it is less than 10%, the print dye is likely to be excessively wrapped around the pile surface side, and the pile tip (7) tends to be printed, making it difficult to form a watermark-like pattern with a sense of depth. Not preferred.
On the other hand, when it exceeds 90%, the pile root of the printing dye (6)
Is not preferable because it is difficult to form a desired stained pattern on the root (6) due to insufficient wraparound. Among them, the area ratio is more preferably 30 to 70%. If the content is less than 30%, the appearance of the ground knitted structure (2) becomes easy.

The knitting form of the warp yarn and the weft in the ground knitting structure (2) is not particularly limited to that of the above-described embodiment, but various structure forms can be adopted.

Next, the pile knitted fabric in which the pile yarn group rising areas (10) are arranged in a dispersed state is subjected to a printing process for forming a dyed pattern, but the printing process is not performed. It is applied from the pile surface side (the back side of the ground knitting structure (2)). By printing from the non-pile surface side, only the pile root (6) can be selectively dyed without dyeing the pile tip (7). Since the pattern is formed through a permeation and diffusion process in which the printing dye penetrates into the pile root (6) through the ground knitted structure (2), the dye pattern (6a) at the pile root is formed. ) The pattern itself can have a blurry, blurred and unique atmosphere. Thus, the dyed pattern at the base of the pile, which has a unique atmosphere that is dim in itself (6a)
However, since the appearance is seen through the pile yarns, the effects of both can be combined to form a fascinating and interesting novel dyed design with a lighter watermark.

The printing method is not particularly limited.
For example, a screen printing method, a roller printing method and the like can be mentioned. For example, as a screen printing machine, an automatic screen printing machine manufactured by Zimmer (models FM2-28, FM2-5)
When 8) is used, it is preferable to set the magnet pressure to 4 to 6 (scale) from the viewpoint of surely and evenly dyeing the pile root (6). In addition, this automatic screen printing machine (model FM2-28, FM2
No. -58) is configured such that the roller squeegee rotates while being attracted downward by the magnetic force of the magnet.

As the dye liquid used for the screen printing, a printing paste is usually used in combination, and examples of such a printing paste include guar gum paste and sodium alginate paste.

Next, the knitted blanket (1) of the present invention can be obtained by forming fluff (3) on the pile yarn. For example, the ground knitting structure (2) of the pile knitted fabric is subjected to a raising process, and the pile in the rising region (10) is subjected to a bristle treatment to form fluffs of pile yarn. Of course, the fluff may be formed only in the pile in the rising area (10).

The above-mentioned manufacturing method is only a preferred example, and the knitted blanket (1) of the present invention is not particularly limited to the one manufactured by such a method.

Next, a knitted blanket according to another embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, this knitted blanket (1) is also a Meyer blanket and has a ground knitting structure (2).
A blanket cloth (4) formed by knitting a pile of 1 to 6 jumps in the wale direction with respect to the ground yarn, and a rim cloth (6) is sewn around the periphery of the blanket cloth (4). 3) is formed, and the pile tip (7) is formed.
Is a dyed pattern applied to the pile root (6) without being dyed, and the dyed pattern (6a) of the pile root (6) is formed by printing from the non-pile surface side. It was done. Above all, it is desirable that the pile is knitted with one to three jumps in the wale direction with respect to the ground yarn of the ground knitting structure (2). If the number is more than three, the appearance of the ground knitted structure (2) tends to be unfavorable. In addition, what was shown in FIG. 6 is "1 planting pile, 2 jumping."
For example, "two piles, two piles" or "three piles, one pile"
Needless to say, it may be.

The pile is 1 to 1 in the wale direction with respect to the ground yarn.
The blanket fabric (4) knitted with six jumps can be knitted using a known means such as a double Russell knitting machine.

In the latter embodiment, the pile density is preferably 9 courses to 29 courses. If the number of courses is less than 9 courses, the wraparound of the printing dye to the pile surface side tends to be excessive, and the pile tip (7) tends to be printed, making it difficult to form a design having a watermark-like depth feeling. Not preferred. On the other hand, if the length exceeds 29 courses, the dyeing of the printing dye to the pile root (6) becomes insufficient and it becomes difficult to form a desired dyeing pattern on the root (6), which is not preferable. In the case of one blanket (not a combined blanket), the pile density is 15
More preferably, it is set to 25 courses.

Further, in the latter embodiment, as a fiber constituting the pile yarn, a fiber which is dyeable with respect to a dye used for printing is used. The fibers constituting the ground knitting structure (2) may be either dyeable or non-dyeable to the printing dye, but it is preferable to use a dyeable dye. If the dyeing property is adopted, a dyed pattern can be formed on the ground knitted tissue (2).
In particular, the stained pattern at the pile-free part in the ground knitting structure (2) is also seen through the pile yarns, so that the dyed pattern (6a) at the pile root (6) is further combined with a sense of depth. This is because a watermark-like design having a three-dimensional effect can be obtained.

The dyes used for printing, the fibers constituting the pile yarn, and the fibers constituting the ground yarn can be the same as those described above.

For example, when a disperse dye is used as the printing dye, it is preferable to use a polyester fiber as a fiber constituting the ground knitting structure (2) and an acrylic fiber as a fiber constituting the pile yarn. Generally, the disperse dye is used for light-color dyeing of acrylic fiber, so that the dyed pattern (6a) at the base of the pile (6) can be made lighter and softer, so that the refreshing impression and coolness can be further improved. Can be given. In addition, since the ground knitting structure (2) is made of polyester fiber having a high dyeing property with respect to the disperse dye, the ground knitting structure (2) can be dyed favorably and evenly. Polyester fibers also have the advantages of being inexpensive and having excellent strength.

Next, the blanket cloth (4) is subjected to printing processing for forming a dyed pattern, and the printing processing is performed in the same manner as described above on the non-pile surface side (the ground knitted rough area (2)). Back side)
Apply from. By printing from the non-pile surface side, only the pile root (6) can be selectively dyed without dyeing the pile tip (7). Regarding the printing method and the printing paste to be contained in the dye solution, the same can be said for the above. Then, the pile yarn is fluffed (3)
The knitted blanket (1) can be obtained by forming

The knitted blanket (1) of the present invention is designed to have a faint, soft and open appearance.
By printing from the non-pile surface side, the pile tip (7) is not dyed and the dye pattern is given to the pile root (6). However, the above effect of the present invention is impaired. If not, for example, the pile tip (7) may be configured to have a uniform light color (white, white, light color, etc.), or may be partially or dottedly dyed in the pile tip (7). May be applied.

In each of the above embodiments, the double-sided blanket is formed by raising both sides of the ground knitted fabric (2). However, a single-sided blanket may be formed by raising only one side.

Further, in each of the above embodiments, one pile knitted fabric is used. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to such a configuration.
A configuration in which two blanket fabrics are overlapped with each other, that is, a configuration in which two blanket fabrics are overlapped on the back surface (non-pile surface) may be used (combination blanket).

In each of the above embodiments, the form is a Meyer blanket. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to this, and is applicable to any knitted blanket having a pile provided on one side. can do.

Example 6 A Mayer blanket was obtained in the same manner as in Example 5, except that wool yarn of # 48 double yarn was used as the pile yarn.

In any of the above-mentioned Meyer blankets, the blurred dyed pattern at the pile root is seen through the pile yarns to give a faint, soft and open-looking design, and is refreshing. I was impressed. Furthermore, it was excellent in texture and touch, and had sufficient volume.

As described above, in the knitted blanket according to the present invention, the dyeing pattern at the root of the pile, which has a unique blurred atmosphere by the printing from the non-pile surface side, is formed between the pile yarns. The appearance can be seen through, so that the stained pattern can be made pale, soft and open-minded with a sense of depth, giving a refreshing impression and coolness. Even summer products can be made sufficiently suitable to meet the requirements of the user.

In addition, since the pile tip is not dyed, it is excellent in texture and touch, has sufficient volume, and can be improved in terms of safety and health.

Further, according to the method for producing a knitted blanket of the present invention, since printing is performed from the non-pile surface side, the pile root can be dyed with high selectivity without dyeing the pile tip. In addition, since such selective dyeing can be performed simply by printing from the non-pile surface side without requiring a special complicated process, productivity can be remarkably improved, and thus low cost can be achieved. Can be manufactured. Since the dyestuff undergoes a permeation and diffusion process in which the dye wraps around the pile base through the ground knitting structure by printing, the dyed pattern itself at the pile base can be made to have a unique blurred atmosphere, and the pattern is piled. By appearing through the space between the yarns, it becomes pale and soft with a watermark-like depth feeling, and finally a refreshing impression,
It can give a cool feeling. In addition, the obtained knitted blanket is not dyed at the pile tip, so that it is excellent in texture and touch, has a sufficient voluminous feel, and is also excellent in terms of safety and health.

As a pile knitted fabric, pile yarns made of fibers that are dyeable to dyes used for printing are knitted into the ground knitted structure at predetermined intervals by a double Russell knitting machine, and a pile yarn group is set up. In the case of using a pile knitted fabric in which the regions are arranged in a dispersed state, the printing dye can be sufficiently penetrated into the pile base, and a watermark-like pattern having a more three-dimensional appearance and depth can be formed. be able to. Furthermore, since the non-starting area of the pile yarn group is provided, the air permeability is excellent, and the weight and cost can be reduced. In addition, since the non-starting regions are arranged in a dispersed state, the texture can be further softened and improved.

When the area ratio of the rising area of the pile yarn group to the ground knitting structure is 10 to 90%, it is possible to form a thinner and softer watermark-like dyed design and to give a more depth feeling. be able to.

When polyester fibers are used as the fibers constituting the ground knitting structure, acrylic fibers are used as the fibers constituting the pile yarn, and when a disperse dye is used as the printing dye, the dye pattern at the base of the pile is further improved. It can be light and soft, and it can form a dyed pattern on the ground knitting structure. Since the appearance is seen through the gap, coupled with the dyeing pattern of the pile root, a sense of depth,
A watermark-like design with a three-dimensional effect can be obtained.

In the case of using a pile knitted fabric in which piles are woven in the wale direction by 1 to 6 jumps with respect to the ground yarn of the ground knitting structure, as the pile knitted fabric, the printing dye is applied to the pile base. Permeation can be sufficiently performed, and the pile root can be dyed more reliably.

When polyester fibers are used as the fibers constituting the ground knitting structure, while acrylic fibers are used as the fibers constituting the pile yarns, and when a disperse dye is used as the printing dye, the dye pattern at the base of the pile is further improved. It can be light and soft, and it can form a dyed pattern on the ground knitting structure. Since the appearance is seen through the gap, coupled with the dyeing pattern of the pile root, a sense of depth,
A watermark-like design with a three-dimensional effect can be obtained.
