TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cleaning cloth used as, for example, a bath towel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In each household, as a washing cloth used for washing the body in the bathroom, a bath towel made of pile cloth that wipes sweat or a towel made of cloth without pile (for example, knitted fabric) Is used.

These bath towels are made of synthetic fiber materials such as nylon, natural fiber materials such as cotton, silk and wool, and recycled fiber materials such as rayon.

[0004]

However, in the case of a bath towel woven or knitted with a synthetic fiber thread such as nylon, the bath towel has good foaming and defoaming, and the towel itself after use is not easily washed and dried. Although it has the advantage of requiring less time, there is a problem in that it is difficult to remove dirt that has entered the pores of the skin, especially fine dirt on the skin surface such as the face surface.

A bath towel woven or knitted with natural fiber yarns or recycled fiber yarns is gentler to the skin than a bath towel made of synthetic fiber material. There is a problem that fine dirt on the skin surface such as dirt in pores cannot be removed sufficiently.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is intended to exhibit a function as an ordinary washing cloth (for example, a function to remove rough dirt on the entire skin surface). An object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning cloth that can be used in two ways, that is, it can exhibit the function of removing fine dirt on the surface of the skin.

A synthetic fiber material having a fineness of 0.00001 to 1.2 denier, which is formed by using a fiber material including a fiber material (hereinafter referred to as an ultrafine fiber), and the other surface of the cloth is used on one surface. The structure is made of different fiber materials.

The fine fiber has a fineness of 0.00001.
It is preferable to set it to about 0.7 denier.

As the material of the ultrafine fibers, polyester,
Examples include synthetic fibers that can be melt-spun, such as nylon and acrylic.

The ultrafine fibers are preferably composed of sea-island type composite fibers or split type split fibers composed of two components. In particular, when the peelable split fibers are used, irregularities are formed on the surface of the ultrafine fibers, so that the dirt adsorbability is improved.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the cleaning cloth according to the first aspect, the cloth is composed of a knitted fabric, and the knitted fabric is a knitted fabric on one surface of the base cloth portion and the base cloth portion. The pattern thread is incorporated in the exposed state in the
Consisting of yarns containing synthetic fibers of ~ 1.2 denier,
The base cloth part was knitted with a thread made of a fiber material different from the pattern thread.

Examples of the knitted fabric include knitted fabric by warp knitting and knitted fabric by flat knitting. In the present invention, preferably, the base cloth portion is knitted by warp knitting, and the pattern cloth is incorporated into the stitch of the base cloth portion so that the pattern thread is exposed on one surface of the base cloth portion to form a cleaning cloth. (For example, jacquard Russell knitting) is preferable.

The pattern yarn is made by bundling a large number of ultrafine fiber filaments having a thickness of several microns (thinness 0.00001 to 0.12 denier) and having a predetermined thickness (for example, about 0.5 m).
m).

The invention according to claim 3 is the cleaning cloth according to claim 1 or 2, wherein 0.00001
A fiber material different from the synthetic fiber material having a fineness of 1.2 denier is preferably a natural fiber material.

[0017]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of a cleaning cloth according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The cleaning cloth of the present embodiment is mainly used as a bath towel. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a cleaning cloth according to the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cleaning cloth 1 is composed of a knitted fabric knitted by warp knitting, and a base cloth portion 2 formed by warp knitting a cotton thread and At the same time as knitting the base cloth portion 2, it is composed of a handle thread 3 incorporated in the base cloth portion 2.

The base cloth portion 2 is a chain knitting portion 4 which is independently knitted in rows in the wale direction (longitudinal direction in FIG. 1).
And a yarn removing section 5 for connecting these chain knitting sections 4.

The yarn removing section 5 corresponds to one yarn removing thread for each wale in one course, and the five yarn removing sections 5 of the chain knitting section 4 are directed in one direction of the course (lateral direction in FIG. 1). After inserting into the stitch, move to the next course (upper course) and fold back in the direction opposite to the course direction to insert the 5 stitches of the chain knitting part 4 of the same wale, and move to the next course. By repeating the operation of inserting the five stitches of the chain knitting portion 4 of the same wale, the yarns are knitted in a meandering manner, and the yarns are overlapped. Then, by knitting these drawn yarns into the chain knitting portion 4, the chain knitting portion 4 is connected and the knitted fabric is knitted.

The yarns for knitting the base cloth portion 2 may be any yarns such as cotton yarns, hemp yarns, silk yarns, rayon yarns, acrylic yarns, nylon yarns and polyester yarns, but are made of a fiber material of a material different from that of the pattern yarn 3. Use thread. For the base cloth portion 2, it is preferable to use natural fibers such as cotton yarn, and by using the natural fibers, when used as a bath towel, it is kind to the skin and the surface of the skin is not easily scratched.

As for the thickness of the yarn, for example, in the case of cotton yarn, it is preferable to use a yarn having a thinner yarn thickness than the handle yarn 3, such as a 20th yarn single yarn and a 16th yarn twin yarn.

As shown in FIG. 1, the handle thread 3 is formed by making a thread in a meandering manner with respect to one chain knitting portion 4 in the stitch on the surface of the chain knitting portion 4 where the loop is not formed. By incorporating a pattern thread into the cloth portion 2, a wavy line pattern extending in the wale direction is formed.

In the present embodiment, the pattern thread 3 is incorporated into one wale for the 6 chain knitting portions 4 continuous in the course direction, and one pattern thread 4 is incorporated into one wale.
With regard to the 6 chain knitting parts 4 continuous in the next course direction, the two knitting yarns 3 are assembled in one wale in a meandering manner while intersecting the two knitting yarns 3, and the 1 wale chain knitting part 4 is set to With respect to the six chain knitting portions 4 continuous in the direction, the operation of incorporating one handle yarn 3 into one wale is repeated, and the handle yarn 3 is incorporated into the base cloth portion 2.

In this embodiment, the color of the thread of the base cloth portion 2 and the color of the thread of the pattern thread 3 are made different, so that one surface of the base cloth portion 2 is With respect to the color of the base of the base cloth portion 2, the thread of the pattern thread 3 appears in a wavy shape and a loop shape (a loop-shaped pattern is formed by intersecting the waves),
Moreover, six wavy patterns and six loop-shaped patterns appear alternately. For example, colored threads such as pink and blue are used for the base cloth portion 2, and white threads are used for the pattern thread 3.

Further, the handle thread 3 has 0.00001-1.
2 denier fine synthetic fiber, preferably 0.000
A filament yarn made of ultrafine fibers having a fineness of 01 to 0.7 denier or synthetic fibers made of ultrafine fibers is used, and a large number of bundled filaments (for example, 3
A patterned yarn 3 having a denier of 00 is formed.

The ultrafine fibers are preferably composed of split fibers, and in this embodiment, one spun filament is split into 11 to obtain ultrafine fibers.

In this embodiment, the pattern thread 3 is formed by bundling 112 undivided filaments into one thread. Therefore, the handle yarn 3 is formed into 1232 filament yarn yarns by dividing the undivided filament into eleven.

The material of the ultrafine fibers is polyester,
Nylon, acrylic, etc. may be mentioned, and the ultrafine fibers composed of one component or the ultrafine fibers composed of two components may be used.
In this embodiment, 75% polyester and 25% nylon
A split fiber consisting of two components divided into the following ratios is used.

In the present embodiment, in order to form a pattern on the base cloth portion 2, the handle thread 3 is thicker than one thread (cotton thread) used for the base cloth portion 2 (for example, a thread). 300 denier) is used.

In the cleaning cloth 1 of the present embodiment having the above-mentioned structure, the pattern thread 3 is exposed on one surface of the cloth and the base cloth portion 2 is exposed.
Since it is incorporated in the fabric, the material of one surface of the fabric can be made different from the material of the other surface.

As a result, for example, when washing the body, the whole body can be cleaned by washing the whole body with the other surface composed of the cotton thread. Then, by washing the body and the face with the surface of one of the patterns, the fine dirt remaining on the skin surface can be adsorbed to the ultrafine fibers of the pattern thread 3 to sufficiently remove the dirt on the skin surface. .

In the present embodiment, since the base cloth portion 2 is knitted with the cotton thread, it is gentle to the skin and the surface of the skin is not easily damaged when the whole body is washed. Further, since the handle yarn 3 on the handle surface is made of ultrafine fibers, the fibers are fine even though they are synthetic fibers, so that they are gentle on the skin and can remove fine dirt.

The base cloth portion 2 may be made of synthetic fiber material such as nylon, which is not a natural fiber such as cotton thread, and is not an ultrafine fiber. When a synthetic fiber such as nylon is used as the yarn for knitting the base cloth portion 2, the foaming of the cloth is good and the cloth is easily dried.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the jacquard russell knitting of warp knitting is performed, the pattern is formed on one surface of the cloth by the pattern thread 3 made of the ultrafine fibers, so that the pattern surface has the ultrafine fibers. It becomes clear that the surface is used, and the user can easily discriminate which surface is composed of the ultrafine fibers, which is easy to use.

Further, since the warp knitting is performed by the jacquard russel knitting, even when the yarn made of the ultrafine fibers is incorporated into one side of the cloth, the yarn made of the ultrafine fibers is incorporated in the knitted fabric while forming the pattern. You can improve the appearance because you can go out.

The cleaning cloth according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, not only warp knitting,
The knitted fabric is knitted into a tubular shape by weft knitting. This tubular knitted fabric is made by knitting the circumferential half of the cylinder with ultrafine fibers and the other half with other fiber materials. The washing cloth may be stitched so as to form a double structure in which the surface knitted with and the surface knitted with other fibers are formed to form one cleaning cloth.

By warp knitting or weft knitting,
A tubular knitted fabric, half of which in the circumferential direction is knitted with ultrafine fibers, is knitted, and a sponge having flat portions on the upper and lower sides is inserted into the knitted fabric cylinder. The cleaning cloth may be formed by making the surfaces knitted in step 1 face each other and the surfaces knitted by another fiber material of the knitted surface to face the other flat surface portion of the sponge.

Further, the cleaning cloth according to the present invention is not limited to the knitted fabric, and may be a woven woven fabric. When a woven fabric is used, the woven fabric is woven with a multiple woven structure and one of the The outer surface weaving is woven with threads made of synthetic fibers with a fineness of 0.00001 to 1.2 denier, and the other outermost surface weaving is woven with threads of a material different from the fiber material used for the one side weaving. It is preferable to configure the cleaning cloth as described above.

[0040]

The cleaning cloth of the present invention has one surface formed of a fiber material containing a synthetic fiber material having a fineness of 0.00001 to 1.2 denier, and the other surface of the cloth. Since the composition is made of a fiber material different from the synthetic fiber material having a fineness of 0.00001 to 1.2 denier used on one side, when the body is washed, the whole body is washed on the other side. As a result, the dirt of the whole body can be removed. Then, by washing the body on one side, the fine dirt left on the skin surface can be adsorbed to the ultrafine synthetic fibers to sufficiently remove the dirt on the skin surface.

Further, the cleaning cloth is composed of a knitted fabric, and the knitted fabric is composed of a base fabric portion and a pattern yarn that is exposedly incorporated into the stitches on one surface of the base fabric portion, and the pattern yarn is 0.00001 to 1.
It consists of a thread containing synthetic fibers with a fineness of 2 denier, and the base cloth part is knitted with a thread made of a fiber material different from the pattern thread.
Since it can be made into a cloth-like cleaning cloth, it is easy to clean the body,
In particular, when knitting with a warp knit, it is possible to provide a washing cloth having a stable shape even with coarse knitting, and to sufficiently wash off fine dirt on the skin surface.

Moreover, by using a natural fiber material which is different from the synthetic fiber material having a fineness of 0.00001 to 1.2 denier as the natural fiber material, it is possible to wash the skin gently and also to wash off fine dirt on the skin sufficiently. .
