Description

  The present invention relates to a woven fabric and a loom, and more particularly to a woven fabric using a strip-shaped face material as a vertical line and a devised loom for easily manufacturing the woven fabric.

Fabrics using metal wires have been widely used as functional materials for general industries such as kitchen supplies and drainage equipment, but not for general industrial use. The development of applications is required.
Therefore, it is being sought whether it can be used for decorative purposes.
As an example, the present inventor previously created a light interference pattern, that is, a moiré pattern by superimposing a plurality of wire meshes, but in order to establish a way of use as a decorative material, There is a need for further enrichment.
Other applications are also being explored.

  Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is devised for easily producing a novel composite fabric and its fabric that have not been conventionally obtained by weaving various strip-shaped face materials together with a metal wire. The purpose is to provide a loom.

  The invention of claim 1 is characterized in that a strip-shaped surface material and one or more metal wires disposed between the strip-shaped surface materials are vertical lines, another metal wire material is a horizontal line, and the vertical lines are It is a woven fabric formed by weaving the horizontal lines.

  The invention of claim 2 is the woven fabric according to claim 1, characterized in that the wire is crimped.

  The invention according to claim 3 is the woven fabric according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the horizontal line is a flat line.

  The invention of claim 4 is the woven fabric according to claim 3, wherein the flat line is work-hardened.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the woven fabric according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the strip-shaped face material is a wire mesh material.

  The invention of claim 6 is a loom for weaving the woven fabric according to any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein the ridge for the strip-shaped face material as a vertical line has a plate shape as a whole, With respect to the upper and lower mounting parts in which the upper and lower saddle holding rails are inserted, the holding part in which the horizontal oblong hole is inserted through which the belt-like surface material in the middle is inserted is bent, and the plate of the holding part The loom is characterized in that the surface is oriented substantially parallel to the heel holding rail.

According to the woven fabric of the present invention, the strip-shaped surface material is used as a vertical line, and is woven together with another metal wire material, which is a novel and novel composite woven fabric that has never existed by the weaving of the strip-shaped surface material. . Therefore, not only can it be used as a decoration as it is, but also the band-shaped face material can have a function as a drawing unit.
In addition, according to the devised loom of the present invention, the above-described novel fabric can be easily manufactured.

A fabric 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The woven fabric 1 is plain woven, and the vertical lines 3 and the horizontal lines 11 cross each other one by one while maintaining a constant interval.
The vertical line 3 is composed of a stainless steel wire 5 and a metal mesh material 9 as a metal belt.
The wire 5 is a flat wire having a rectangular cross section, and its long side faces the up and down direction and intersects the horizontal line 11. This flat wire is drawn and hardened in advance. In addition, a crimp 7 (waveform bend) is attached to a portion where the horizontal lines 11 intersect. The metal mesh material 9 is a fine metal mesh material made of aluminum mesh.
The vertical line 3 is configured by arranging three wire rods 5 between the wire mesh members 9.
The horizontal line 11 is composed of the same wire as the above-described wire 5 of the vertical line 3. The three wires 11 as the horizontal lines form one set, and the one set is arranged at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction.

In the woven fabric 1, a wire mesh material 9 is used as the vertical line 3. Conventionally, the wire rod and the wire mesh are different materials, and it has not been considered to use the wire mesh as a vertical line of the fabric. Also, there was no loom that could weave a wire mesh.
However, when weaving the loom (so-called ornament) so as to be able to weave a wire mesh, weaving was able to produce a fabric 1 as shown in FIG.
The raw edge of the wire netting material 9 is sharp and dangerous, but since the fabric 1 is arranged between the wire rods 5, it is not necessary to perform edge processing.
Furthermore, since the metal mesh material 9 as a face material is woven into the woven fabric 1, the shape of the woven fabric 1 is stably maintained. Therefore, the entire area of the fabric 1 can be increased.

  Since the vertical wire 5 and the horizontal wire 11 are respectively provided with crimps 7 and 13 at the intersecting portions, the vertical wire 5 and the horizontal wire 11 are firmly woven together. Therefore, even if the metal mesh material 9 is partially used as the vertical line, the texture is correctly maintained.

  In addition, since a horizontal wire is used as the horizontal wire 11, the clearance between the horizontal wires 11 sandwiching the wire mesh material 9 can be adjusted to a desired accuracy by adjusting the thickness of the flat wire and the crimp depth. Can be adjusted. For this reason, the flat wire mesh material 9 is sandwiched as it is in the clearance adjusted in accordance with the thickness of the wire mesh material 9, and the wire mesh material 9 is hardly uneven in the vertical direction. Further, the horizontal line 11 is in surface contact with the wire mesh material 9. Therefore, the wire mesh material 9 is woven more stably.

The woven fabric 1 is composed of a novel combination of dissimilar materials such as a wire netting material 9 and wire rods 5 and 11, and is novel and excellent in decorativeness. Furthermore, since the woven fabric 1 cannot be seen through the use of the metal mesh material 9 having a fine mesh, when the woven fabric 1 is disposed in front, the inner side of the woven fabric 1 can be concealed, which is also useful in that respect.
The flat line is easier to block the field of view than the round line and is not affected by the background. Moreover, the flat line is lighter than the round line. Therefore, the use of a flat wire is also preferable for decorative purposes.
In consideration of the above, in the woven fabric 1, a flat wire is also used as the vertical wire 5.

FIG. 2 shows an example of use of the fabric 1 as an interior decoration material. In this example, the fabrics 1 are suspended from the ceiling 15 in a state where a plurality of the fabrics 1 are arranged in parallel, and a plurality of lighting fixtures 17 are arranged on both sides thereof.
In this usage example, the fabric 1 gives a modern atmosphere to the room.

Next, the loom 19 for weaving the fabric 1 will be described.
The loom 19 itself has basically the same structure as an ordinary metal wire loom, and is drawn out in a state where a number of vertical lines 5 are arranged in parallel.
The vertical lines 5 are divided into two groups every other line, and each group is set by being passed through a pair of front and rear eyelid (decoration) groups 21 and 23, respectively.
When weaving is started, as shown in FIG. 3, the pair of ridge groups 21 and 23 are moved up and down in opposite directions to form an opening between the vertical lines 5. The horizontal line 11 is passed through the opening, and is woven between the vertical line groups by the ridges 49. Next, the pair of scissors groups 21 and 23 are moved up and down in opposite directions to form the next opening between the vertical lines 5. The horizontal line 11 is passed through the opening, and is woven between the vertical line groups by the ridges 49. By repeating this, the horizontal line 11 is woven into the vertical line 5.

As shown in FIG. 4, the ridge group 21 (or 23) is composed of a ridge 25 for the wire 5 and a ridge 31 for the wire mesh material 9, and the space between the ridges 31 in accordance with the parallel of the wire 5 and the wire mesh material 9. Three cages 25 are arranged in the box.
The rod 25 for the wire 5 has a rod shape, rail insertion holes 27 are formed in the vicinity of the upper and lower ends thereof, and a wire insertion hole 29 is formed in the middle.

As shown in detail in FIG. 5, the gutter 31 for the wire netting material 9 has a thin plate shape as a whole.
In the intermediate holding portion 33, two thin plates 35, 35 are vertically spaced, and two connecting rods 37 are spanned between both side edges of the upper and lower thin plates 35, 35, respectively. The upper and lower ends thereof are integrally formed by welding to the thin plates 35 and 35. A portion surrounded by the upper and lower thin plates 35, 35 and the connecting rods 37 on both sides is a wire mesh material insertion hole 39. The wire mesh material insertion hole 39 has a horizontally long rectangle.
A mounting portion 41 having a narrow width is attached by welding to sandwich the wide holding portion 33 so as to be integrated. Rail insertion holes 43 are formed in the vicinity of the upper and lower ends of the attachment portion 41.

The plate surface of the mounting portion 41 is bent three times in the middle as shown by the solid line 45 in the figure, and is oriented in the same direction as the plate surface of the holding portion 33 on the holding portion 33 side, but is inserted into the rail. The portion where the hole 43 is formed intersects the plate surface of the holding portion 33 substantially perpendicularly.
Therefore, in the state in which the upper and lower hook holding rails 47 are inserted into the upper and lower rail insertion holes 43, the hooks 31 for the metal mesh material 9 are oriented substantially parallel to the hook holding rails 47. is doing.

The vertical line 3 is drawn out from a roll (not shown) so as to intersect the heel holding rail 47 perpendicularly.
In the rod 25 for the wire 5, the cross-section of the wire 5 is small even if the crossing angle between the formation surface of the wire insertion hole 29 and the alignment direction of the vertical lines 3 is somewhat shifted from 90 degrees. If a certain amount of margin is provided, the wire 5 is smoothly drawn forward from the wire insertion hole 29.
However, since the wire mesh material 9 is a planar material, if the crossing angle between the forming surface of the wire mesh material insertion hole 39 of the flange 31 and the alignment direction of the vertical lines 3 is shifted to the same extent as the wire material 5, the wire mesh material 9 becomes the wire mesh material. In order to be pulled out from the insertion hole 39 in the forward direction, the lateral width of the wire mesh material insertion hole 39 is set to be quite long, and the wire mesh material 9 is inserted into the wire mesh material insertion hole 39 inclined with respect to the width direction. The drawn wire mesh material 9 is easily offset.
On the other hand, in the actual cage 31, the formation surface of the wire mesh material insertion hole 39, that is, the plate surface of the holding portion 33 is oriented substantially parallel to the rod holding rail 47. And the crossing angle between the vertical line 3 and the alignment direction of the wire mesh material 9 is approximately 90 degrees.
Accordingly, the wire mesh material 9 is smoothly drawn forward from the wire mesh material insertion hole 39.

  Furthermore, if the wire 5 of the vertical line 3 is soft, it will twist when it is pulled out in the forward direction. At that time, if the wire 5 is a round wire, even if it is twisted, the direction of the wire cross section with respect to the horizontal line 11 does not change, but in the case of a flat wire, the direction of the cross section changes. Therefore, although it cannot be woven as it is, it is not twisted because it is used as the flat wire and the wire 5 which are pulled and work hardened in this embodiment.

FIG. 6 is an example of a material prepared for weaving with the loom 19.
When weaving on the loom 19, the length of the vertical line to be prepared is the length required for the product plus a certain amount of plus, but the plus is cut and discarded later.
Therefore, if the plus portion is constituted by a relatively inexpensive plate material 51, and the wire mesh material 9 temporarily fixed to the wire mesh material 9 is used as a vertical line, and the plate material 51 is cut and separated after the weaving is finished, the wire mesh material 9 is not wasted.

FIG. 7 shows another example of the fabric 53.
In this fabric 53, another wire mesh material 55 is further woven as a horizontal line in the fabric 1 of FIG. A relatively long crimp 57 corresponding to the width of the wire mesh material 55 is attached to the wire 5 of the vertical wires 3 that sandwich the wire mesh material 55 from above to interweave the wire mesh material 55.
Thus, a metal strip-shaped surface material can also be used as a horizontal line. If comprised in this way, the light interference pattern by the overlap of textile materials can be produced.

FIG. 8 shows a woven fabric 59 manufactured using an organic EL (element) 61 as a strip-shaped face material. After the organic EL 61 is woven together with the metal wire 63 into a woven fabric 59, voltage applying means and the like are attached.
If the organic EL is used for the strip-shaped face material in this way, the fabric 59 can be used as an image screen, so that an image can be enjoyed by a passerby by being attached to the indoor wall 65 of a commercial facility.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the specific configuration of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and even if there is a design change within a scope not departing from the gist of the present invention. Included in the invention.
In other words, the types of the wire rod and the strip-shaped surface material are not particularly limited, and those conventionally used or devised in the future can be arbitrarily used.
For example, the strip-shaped face material is not limited to a metal material, and may be a resin or other material, for example, an organic EL or a solar cell as described above.
In addition, even when a wire mesh material is used as one of the strip-shaped face materials, various materials such as a coarse mesh, a fine mesh, a colored moon, and an embossed one can be used together. An enormous number of combinations are possible with the wire.

The fabric of the present invention is a novel and novel composite fabric, and has the potential to expand the use of the fabric using metal wires infinitely.
Furthermore, the woven fabric of the present invention can be woven using a conventional loom for metal wire by devising the shape of the ridge.
