Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a towel fabric having a dense base texture to give the appearance of a high-quality towel and, nevertheless, having excellent water absorption and enabling easy and quick washing and drying. <P>SOLUTION: The towel fabric has loops 2a of a pile yarn 2 intertwisted to a base fabric 1 of a woven fabric composed of warps 1a and wefts 1b in a manner to expose the loops 2a to both faces or a single face of the base fabric 1. The loops are arranged at a section separated from each section 1c partitioned with the warp 1a and the weft 1b of the base fabric interposing at least one section. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a towel fabric, and more particularly to a towel fabric having the appearance of a high-quality towel packed with a pile density, yet having excellent water absorption and easy drying.

  Conventionally, there are various types of towel fabrics (see, for example, Patent Document 1). As shown in FIG. 6, the towel fabric is intertwined with a base fabric 1 made of warp yarns 1a and weft yarns 1b. It is generally recognized that the one packed with the density of the wanna 2a made of the yarn 2 is a high-class product.

  However, this luxury towel fabric packed with density is inferior in water absorption because the surface is densely covered with Wanna and the base is hidden, and towels for wiping off water such as bath towels and face towels. When used as a fabric, it looks good as a towel, but it contains a contradiction that water droplets adhering to the body and face cannot be wiped off comfortably.

  In addition, when washing, since the wrinkle density that is intertwined with the base is clogged, the towel contains a lot of water, so much water and time are required for rinsing, and the washed towel is dehydrated and dried. It took a very long time and was heavy and contained a lot of water, so it was not easy to hang towels.

JP 2004-131910 A (pages 1 to 4, FIGS. 1 to 4)

  The present invention has made it possible to provide a towel fabric that is excellent in water absorption while maintaining the appearance of a high-quality towel and that can be easily dried during washing.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a towel fabric according to the present invention is a towel fabric formed by entanglement with a base fabric of warp and weft so that a wreath of pile yarn appears on both sides or one side of the base fabric. The wanna is configured to be arranged so that at least one section or more is opened with respect to each section partitioned by the warp and the weft of the base fabric.

  Further, the wanna is configured so that each of the sections divided by the warp and weft of the base material is at least one section apart from the section in which the wanna formed by the adjacent pile yarn appears. The section where the wanna appear and the section that does not appear are arranged in a checkered pattern.

  According to the towel fabric of the present invention, at least one section is separated from each section partitioned by warp and weft of the base, and the section where the wanna appears and the section where the wanna appear do not appear as a checkered pattern. As a high-grade towel, the base material (fabric) is not easily deformed, so even if it is densely woven with the density of the warp and weft, it is between the wrinkles of adjacent pile yarns. Since there is a little space, water can be quickly absorbed into the base through this space, so it can be used comfortably as a towel fabric for wiping off water such as bath towels and face towels.

  Also, the pile yarns are regularly arranged in each section in a checkered pattern, so that the pile yarns are appropriately thinned out, like a cheap towel fabric, or have a rough density. Unlike the ones woven in, the pile yarns are neatly arranged on the base ground, so it looks good, and even when touching the hands and skin, a soft feel is obtained, a kind of unique texture Products made of towel fabric can be manufactured. In addition, since half of the wheels are piled up with pile yarn, the appearance is good and the amount of pile yarn used is relatively small, and it can be manufactured lightly and inexpensively.

  In addition, when washing, there is a space between the two pile yarns adjacent to each other, so even if the towel is immersed in the water of the laundry layer, the water of the laundry layer is good, and the water of the laundry layer is drained. Since it does not hold much water, it can reduce detergent and washing water, and even when dewatering the washed towel, there is a little space between the piles of adjacent pile yarn, so water draining is also good, therefore The drying time can be shortened and the operation can be easily performed when drying by natural drying or drying.

  And even when this towel fabric is used in commercial products such as bath towels and face towels used in accommodation facilities such as hotels, it has the appearance of luxury towels and still has excellent water absorption. In addition, it is easy to dry, saves the washing water required for washing, and also shortens the drying time, so it is a towel fabric that can save on utility costs and contribute to resource saving, and also pile yarn Because the number of wanna by half is half, its own weight is light and delivery and collection work to each room can be done easily. Therefore, it is suitable for use in the hotel industry where there are many inside and outside.

  Furthermore, the process for forming the wanna does not require a significant change from the process of manufacturing a conventional towel fabric, so basically, the production of a new towel fabric can be carried out using the conventional towel fabric production line. There is also an advantage that it can be performed and the industrial applicability is extremely high.

Hereinafter, the towel fabric of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an example of a towel fabric in which a knitted fabric 2a made of pile yarn 2 is provided on both sides of a base fabric 1, and a margin fabric 3 is wound around the periphery of the base fabric 1 and stitched with a sewing thread 4. In the meantime, the peripheral edge part is prevented from being broken.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the base fabric 1 is woven with warps 1a and wefts 1b. For example, the base 1 is parallel to the wefts 1b with respect to the sections 1c defined by the warps 1a and the wefts 1b. In this way, the pile yarn 2 is entangled to form the wanna 2a.

  Therefore, in the towel fabric of the present invention, at least one section is left for each section 1c partitioned by the warp 1a and the weft 1b (one section is opened in the embodiment of FIG. 3), and the pile yarn 2 Are intertwined so that loop-like fuzz, that is, wanna 2a, is formed on both sides of the base 1.

  In the present embodiment, the adjacent pile yarns 2 are formed so as to be shifted by one section with respect to the longitudinal direction of the pile yarn 2. Therefore, the arrangement of the yarns 2a by the pile yarn 2, that is, As shown in FIG. 4, the sections where the wanna appear and the sections where the wanna appear do not have a so-called checkered pattern in which one section is opened with respect to each section 1c. In FIG. 4, black circles schematically indicate portions where wanna appear, and white circles indicate portions where wana does not appear.

  In the above-described embodiment, the wanna 2a is formed on both the upper and lower (front and back) surfaces of the base 1, but the wanna may be formed only on one surface as shown in FIG.

  Although not shown in the embodiment, in the case where the warp 1a and the weft 1b are made large and the base 1 is made firmer, the number of compartments to be opened for each compartment 1c is set. In some cases, for example, two or three sections are increased.

  Further, in the above-described anti-unwinding treatment with the towel shown in FIG. 1, although not shown in the embodiment, the peripheral edge of the base 1 is folded twice on one side and the folded portion is overlapped with the sewing thread 4. In some cases, the base 1 may be sewn (trimmed).
