Description

[0001]
[Industrial applications]
The present invention relates to a method for producing horsehair fabric. According to the present invention, it is possible to manufacture a horsehair woven fabric in which both the warp and the weft comprise horsehair (tail hair).
[0002]
[Prior art]
Rigid horsehair is used for interlining of clothes. On the other hand, since it is impossible to spin horse hairs, which are bristles, the horse hair is often used as a weft (see Patent Document 1 and the like). In addition, an example of using a blended yarn for warp has been proposed (see Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, etc.).
Also, refer to Patent Document 4 as an invention related to this case.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Since the horsehair fabric formed by the conventional method was not a 100% horsehair product, the gloss and texture unique to horsehair could not be completely reflected on the fabric.
Thus, the present inventors have intensively studied to obtain a woven fabric composed of 100% horsehair.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention makes it possible to form a woven fabric made of 100% horsehair, and woven a plurality of horsehairs using horsehair which is connected in a length direction thereof by temporary fastening means;
Removing the temporary fixing means from the fabric formed in the weaving step;
It is a manufacturing method of the horsehair textile characterized by including.
[0006]
Hereinafter, each element of the present invention will be described in detail.
(Horse wool)
In this invention, horse hair refers to the tail hair of a horse. A horse hair bundle having a uniform length is prepared, and horse hair is taken out of the horse hair bundle one by one and connected in the length direction to form one horse hair. To connect the horse hair, a temporary fixing means is used. This temporary fastening means is removed after the woven fabric. This is because if the woven fabric has the temporary fixing means, it is difficult for the woven fabric to have the original gloss and texture of horse hair.
In order to connect the horse hair in the length direction, it is preferable that adjacent horse hairs are overlapped and both are fixed (temporarily fixed) at least at the overlapping portion. Although it is theoretically possible to fix the end faces of thin horsehair, it is not suitable for industrial production of horsehair because it requires a lot of work.
It is preferable that the horse hairs adjacent to each other have different crack directions. Here, the tear refers to the unevenness of the horse hair in the minute saw blade state in a certain direction, and by staggering the direction of the slit, the unevenness of the saw blade state meshes and the connection of the adjacent horse hair is stabilized. .
[0007]
(Temporary fixing means)
A temporary fastening thread can be used as temporary fastening means for temporarily fastening adjacent horse hairs, that is, the first horse hair and the second horse hair. By wrapping the temporary fastening thread around the horsehair, the horsehair is restrained to form one long horsehair thread. By winding the temporary fixing yarn around at least the overlapping portions of the adjacent horsehairs, the adjacent horsehairs can be stably connected to form the horsehair.
By forming a sheath layer as a temporary fixing means at least at an overlapping portion of adjacent horse hairs, the horse hairs can be connected to each other. The sheath layer is a sheath-like layer that entirely or partially surrounds horse hair, and can be formed by spraying, coating, dipping, or the like on the horse hair.
[0008]
After the woven fabric, the temporary fixing means is removed. This allows the fabric to be practically made of horsehair only. Of course, the present invention does not exclude mixing other fibers into the fabric.
The temporary fastening thread and the sheath layer used as the temporary fastening means are preferably formed of a soluble material. It is preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the number of steps that the temporary fixing thread and the adhesive layer are dissolved in the washing liquid in the washing step of the fabric, but a step of dissolving them can be provided separately.
The material for forming the temporary fastening thread and the sheath layer is not particularly limited as long as the material can be decomposed and / or removed without affecting the horse hair.
[0009]
When the temporary fixing means is removed, for example, horse hair may be disturbed at a portion where the horse hair is overlapped in the horse wool, and it is preferable to trim the hair flap. Trimming can be performed using, for example, an electric shaver for humans.
[0010]
Although horse wool obtained by connecting horse wool has a large thickness, the horse wool can be handled in the same manner as a normal yarn, so that the woven fabric and the temporary fastening means are removed using this horse wool. At this time, a woven fabric composed of 100% horsehair can be obtained by using the horsehair as both the warp and the weft. It is also possible to use the horsehair yarn for the warp or the weft and hemp yarn or cotton yarn for the other yarns.
[0011]
【Example】
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
{Circle around (1)} Horse hair washing Horse hair (about 50 cm) collected from a horse is sorted by color and washed. In the washing, dirt attached to horse hair is washed one by one with water, shampooed, rinsed and treated. The above is done manually.
{Circle around (2)} Quality Inspection The washed horse hair is sorted by length and aligned so that the horse hair flows in a certain direction by the touch of a finger, that is, so that the split in the horse hair is in a certain direction. After that, each of them is visually inspected for damage, split ends, insect bites, color, luster, thickness, etc., through light. Horse hair that passes such a rigorous manual inspection weighs about 30 g from a single horse.
[0012]
(3) Sterilize horse hair that has passed the sterilization test. Sterilization is carried out by immersing in a salt or the like for about 5 to 100 days. The period of soaking is appropriately adjusted according to the amount of fat contained in horse hair. This soaking not only sterilizes and disinfects the horse hair, but also deodorizes the horse hair. After that, dry the sun for about one week.
[0013]
(4) Making horse wool The sterilized and disinfected horse hair is bundled with the direction of the cleft aligned for each color. After a certain amount of horsehair bundles of the same color are collected, the horsehair is spun.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a spinning process. As shown in FIG. 1, bundles 1 and 3 of horse hair of the same color are prepared, and the direction of each rip is reversed. Reference numeral 5 denotes a horse bristle aligning device that connects horse bristle in the length direction thereof, and includes a leading portion 7 and a restraining portion 9. The introduction portion 7 is opened in a fan direction, and guides the tip of the rigid horsehair to the constraint portion 9. The restraining portion 9 is formed with a hole or a groove enough to allow two horse hairs to pass therethrough, and the first horse hair 1-1 introduced first in the restraining portion 9 and the second horse introduced later. The hair 3-1 is overlapped. The first horse hair 1-1 is connected to the previous horse hair by the temporary fastening thread 11 and forms a part of the horse hair 14. The horse yarn 14 moves as the bobbin 15 is wound. The second horse hair 3-1 is inserted into the introduction portion 7 and overlaps with the first horse hair 1-1 in the restraining portion 9. At this time, the first horse hair 1-1 and the second horse hair 3-1 are different in the direction of the split, so that the saw-toothed irregularities forming each split mesh with each other. Accordingly, the second horse hair 3-1 also moves outward from the restraining portion 9 following the movement of the first horse hair 1-1. The operator sequentially inserts the horse hair into the introduction section 7 so that the overlapping portion of the horse hair is 3 to 8 cm, preferably about 5 cm.
[0014]
Reference numeral 13 denotes a device for winding the temporary fastening yarn 11. The rotor 12 rotates around the outlet of the restraining portion 9 of the horse bristle aligning device 5 and winds the temporary fixing yarn 11 around the aligned horse bristle yarn row. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the temporary fixing thread 11 is entirely wound around the horsehair, but as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the temporary fixing thread 11 is wound at least on the overlapping portion of the horsehair. You can turn it.
The temporary fixing yarn is made of synthetic fiber, and in this example, a material that can be dissolved with a cleaning solution at about 170 ° C. was used.
The horsehair thus connected in the longitudinal direction is wound around the bobbin 15 as the horsehair 14.
[0015]
{Circle around (5)} Weaving work Since the horsehair has tension, the horsehair 14 is immersed in hot water and softened and woven. It is preferable to use a wooden loom called a high loom for the weaving operation. This is because the tension of the horse wool can be absorbed and reduced as much as possible and the wear resistance is excellent.
The weaving method is not particularly limited, but in this example, flying weaving using 2 to 6 horsehair yarns at random as the warp was adopted so that the gloss and texture of the horsehair could be expressed to the maximum. Of course, horsehair is also used for the warp.
[0016]
(6) Sorting work The woven fabric is transferred to sorting work. In this arrangement work, the cloth is first immersed in a washing bath to remove dirt attached in the weaving work and to dissolve and remove the temporary fixing yarn. This cleaning bath uses a solvent-based cleaning liquid at about 170 ° C. Then, wash with water and dry.
During this washing, the horse hair expands and contracts, and the restraint by the temporary fastening thread is released. Therefore, after washing and drying are completed, the keratosis is trimmed. Although an electric shaver for humans is used in this embodiment, razors, scissors, and the like can be used.
[0017]
Since the provisional fastening yarn is removed by this rearranging operation, the restraint of each horsehair constituting the horsehair is released. However, since horsehair has rigidity, in a woven state, each horsehair is tightly entangled with a weft (warp) if it is a warp (weft) and restrains each other, and does not fall off from the fabric.
[0018]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the horsehair fabric manufacturing method of the present invention, horsehair is formed by connecting horsehair in the length direction by the temporary fixing means, and the fabric is woven using the horsehair. Thereafter, by removing the temporary fastening means from the fabric, it becomes possible to produce a fabric consisting essentially of 100% horsehair.
