Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cleaning cloth used, for example, as a bath towel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Towels used for washing a body in a bathroom at home include a towel made of a synthetic fiber material such as nylon, cotton, silk, and hair, rather than a pile of towels that wipes off sweat. For example, bath towels made of natural fiber materials such as those described above are increasingly used. However, in the case of towels made of synthetic fiber materials such as nylon, foaming is good, cleaning is excellent, and there is an advantage that while the foam is good, the towel itself can be washed in a short time after use, In the case of a person who damages the skin, has darkened skin, has atopic dermatitis, or has weak skin, eczema and the like may be worsened.

On the other hand, in the case of a pile towel made of a natural fiber material, it is gentler to the skin and can be used by people with weak skin, compared to a bath towel made of a synthetic fiber material. As it is inferior in cleaning performance, foaming after cleaning is poor and it is difficult to dry,
There is a problem that mold tends to occur. On the other hand, a bath towel made of a knitted cotton thread has good foaming as compared with that of a piled fabric, but is not suitable for babies and women with weak skin.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of such circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning cloth which is good in foaming and foam removal, is easy to dry, and is gentle on skin and the like.

[0005]

In order to achieve such an object, the cleaning cloth according to the present invention is formed of a fiber material containing at least rayon fiber.

The cleaning cloth of the present invention comprises a base cloth portion and a rayon fiber material portion, wherein the rayon fiber material constituting the rayon fiber material portion is a fiber material forming the base cloth portion. It is preferable to adopt a configuration that is knitted together with the above. The fiber material constituting the base fabric portion is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon, and natural fibers such as cotton and hemp.

The ratio of the rayon fiber material in the cleaning cloth is preferably 60% by weight or more. For example, when the base fabric portion is made of a polyester fiber material, it is 80% by weight.
The above is preferred. The rayon fiber material is not particularly limited, but preferably has a thickness of 300D to 5000D.

In order to further improve the foaming property and elasticity, it is preferable to use a flat yarn folded in the width direction as the rayon fiber material. Above all, it is more preferable to use one that has been matte-treated using paraffin or the like during production.

The use of the cleaning fabric is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a body towel, a polisher towel, a beauty towel, a brushing towel, a wash towel, a dishwashing cloth, and a sponge.

[0010] The form of the fabric is not particularly limited, but it may be a woven fabric (Hatch weave, leno weave, plain weave, towel cloth,
Other), knitting (circular knitting, warp knitting, other knits),
Non-woven fabric, sponge and the like can be mentioned. The shape of the cleaning fabric of the present invention may be the shape of a sheet-like fabric itself, or may be sewn into a bag shape and used as a sponge shape made of synthetic resin in the bag.

[0011]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
explain in detail. 1 and 2 show one embodiment of the cleaning cloth according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, this cleaning cloth 1 is
A base fabric portion 2 is formed by warp knitting polyester fiber yarns, and a rayon fiber material portion 3 knitted at the same time as the base fabric portion 2 is knitted. The rayon fiber material part 3 is shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the flat yarn 31 is formed by using a yarn in a state where the flat yarn 31 is folded in a substantially arcuate cross section in the width direction thereof. The flat yarn 31 has a large number of grooves (or ridges) 32 extending in the longitudinal direction on the surface thereof.

As described above, since the cleaning cloth 1 is provided with the rayon fiber material portion 3, the hard rayon fiber material portion 3 swells when wet with water so that it swells and becomes soft and elastic when wet. Become. Therefore, when a bather cleans his / her body, the bather feels good and does not hurt the skin even when used by people with weak skin such as babies and women.

[0014] Rayon fiber dries faster than cotton or the like. Therefore, the drying speed of the cleaning cloth 1 itself is increased, and the occurrence of mold and the like can be prevented as much as possible. Furthermore, since the rayon fiber material portion 3 is formed using the yarn obtained by folding the flat yarn 31, air enters between the folded portions of the flat yarn 31, so that the foaming is better and the foam is better.

The cleaning cloth according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the rayon fiber material portion 3 is formed by knitting the folded flat yarn 31 into a pulse wave shape in the width direction of the cleaning cloth 1, but the lattice shape or the sea cucumber wall shape is used. It may be made to be knitted. Further, in the above embodiment, the flat yarn 31 is knitted in a state of being folded in four in the width direction, but may be three or less, or may be five or more. Further, hollow rayon fiber or the like may be used instead of the flat yarn.

[0016]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail.

Example 1 A knitting machine is used to knit a base fabric by warp knitting using a polyester yarn (300 denier), and a rayon flat yarn (40 manufactured by Asahi Kasei Corporation)
00D / 1, matte ribbon straw tie flat yarn brand name Lafite) in the width direction as shown in FIG.
In a state of being folded into a substantially arcuate shape in four folds, it was knitted into a pulsed waveform as shown in FIG. 1 to obtain a bath towel as a cleaning cloth.

The cleaning cloth obtained in Example 1 above, a commercially available 100% cotton bath towel (Comparative Example 1), nylon 1
About 00% bath towel (Comparative Example 2),
The foam-removing property, feeling upon use, and drying speed were examined. The results are shown in Table 1.

As for the foaming property, a new solid soap (trade name: Kao Corporation, white) was rubbed by hand three times per 100 cm ^{2 of} each towel wet with hot water of 40 ° C. After applying the soap, it was visually examined how many times each towel was rubbed before foaming. The results were expressed as an average value of 10 times each. Regarding the foam removal property, in the state where the towel used in the above foaming property test was rubbed 5 times with a wash basin filled with 5 liters of water, how many times the water had to be replaced until the water was no longer cloudy. Examined. The results were expressed as an average value of 10 times each.

As for the feeling of use, on 10 monitors,
The number of people who felt discomfort on their skin as a result of having them use it with soap applied was examined. As for the drying speed, each towel was once wet with water, dehydrated in a centrifugal dehydration washing machine for 1 minute, and then suspended in a room kept at room temperature of 20 ° C.
The time to a dry hand was measured.

[0021]

[Table 1]

As shown in Table 1 above, according to the cleaning cloth of the present invention, the drying speed is inferior to that of the conventional nylon cloth, but the drying speed is higher than that of the cotton-only cloth, and the feeling of use is poor. Are better. Moreover, the foaming property and the foam removing property are also
Although it is slightly inferior to that of nylon, it is clearly understood that it is considerably better than that of cotton.

[0023]

As described above, the cleaning cloth according to the present invention has good foaming and good foam removal. Moreover, since the rayon fiber material is a constituent element, the rayon fiber material swells when wet with water, and the elasticity of the entire fabric is increased and the fabric is softened. Therefore,
Not only can the amount of detergent and the like be reduced, but also the washing time of the fabric itself can be shortened, and even a person with weak skin can use it with confidence without damaging the skin.

In particular, when flat yarns are used in the width direction as described in claim 3, the strength of the fabric is improved, and air enters between the folded portions and foaming is improved.
