DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a woven fabric having radiation and heat retention properties and further having deodorant and antibacterial properties.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, with regard to the heat retaining property of textiles, the main technique has been to deal with the quality and weaving method of the fibers used as the material of the textiles. Kneaded materials have been used, and have come to be used for underwear, socks, bedding, and the like.

[0003] More specifically, fibers having a radiation characteristic by mixing natural minerals and metal oxides into fibers are often found. For example, natural stones such as tourmaline and further purified metal oxides are blended. Some woven fabrics, such as hand-woven and knitted fabrics, which are kneaded into fibers and found in underwear and bedding, use this as a fabric for underwear, socks and bedding. In addition, although undergarments having a mesh structure have conventionally existed, the purpose is to form a space between the underwear and the underwear to create a temperature space close to body temperature.

[0004]

However, recently, underwear, socks, belly bands, supporters, and the like have been used in addition to the basic functions of hygiene and heat retention of the skin, and have recently been deodorized and treated against bacteria (antibacterial properties). Is required. That need is being addressed with the advent of fibers having the aforementioned radiation properties. However, at present, medical treatments that actively utilize the conventional heat retaining function, such as improvement of blood circulation (blood flow) and treatment of various diseases by direct far-infrared rays, are currently being introduced. However, conventional fibers having radiation characteristics are said to have better heat retention characteristics than ordinary fibers due to their characteristics, but the effect is extremely small. In addition, conventional products utilize characteristics such as antibacterial properties, deodorizing properties, and thermal insulation properties by utilizing the radiation properties of natural stones, and there is no attention to ensuring appropriate moisture in the epidermis of the human body. .

An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the conventional fibers and to provide a new woven fabric which further improves the heat retaining property of natural stones and has high ventilation.

[0006]

0% by weight, 30 to 60% by weight of silica, 20 to 50% by weight of the sum of serpentine and amphibolite, and further, the woven fabric has a mesh space of 0.5 to 16 mm ^2. -It is convenient to provide heat retention and deodorant / antibacterial properties.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will be further described with reference to a preferred embodiment. The fiber which is the basis of the fabric of the present invention is not particularly limited, but is, for example, rayon or polyester. Natural stones kneaded into the fiber include tourmaline, silica that supplements its radiation characteristics, and fine powder of serpentine and amphibolite that ensure antibacterial properties. In addition, animal protein fibers represented by chinon obtained from milk or silk fibers are woven to ensure heat retention and moisture retention. Further, the composition of the above-mentioned natural stone is limited so as to obtain a more preferable effect. Moreover, as a woven fabric, the mesh is in a certain range to further improve the heat retention.

According to the present invention, the heat retaining effect is remarkably improved by utilizing the radiation properties of natural stones, woven specific animal fibers in order to secure heat retention and moisture retention, and further forming a network structure fiber. In particular, it exhibits excellent properties in the clothing and medical fields.

The tourmaline, tourmaline, is an aerated mineral and has a pyroelectric effect, generating positive and negative currents. This weak current acts on the body to promote metabolism. Tourmaline has two effects, a negative ion effect and a far-infrared effect. The negative ion activates cells, and the far-infrared rays heat the body, improve blood circulation, and activate metabolism. This has the power to remove the feeling of fatigue and radiate energy to regenerate weakened cells. The present invention focuses on this point. That is, the human body emits heat and far-infrared energy, but tourmaline once absorbs the energy and converts it into negative ions and far-infrared rays to return to the human body. Therefore, the cells are activated, and the energy of the human body increases.

Human blood is weakly alkaline, and negative ions act gently on the body, changing the body to a weakly alkaline property. That is, it is said that negative ions are absorbed from the respiratory and skin surfaces and enter the body, thereby purifying blood and the like. Tourmaline is also characterized by this point.

[0013] Silica is used in combination with this tourmaline, which is a substance that generates a lot of far-infrared rays and has a high energy-emissivity, and has a very excellent deodorizing effect due to the decomposition of silica stone and the like. When it touches the skin, it promotes blood circulation not only in the part touched but also in a wide area.

The woven fabric is mixed with serpentine and amphibolite to impart antibacterial properties. The chemical component magnesium of serpentine has excellent antibacterial properties and a high emissivity of far infrared rays. For this reason, by touching the serpentine, the cells of the microorganism are changed to bring about an antibacterial effect. In addition, as described above, silica stone or the like contained in serpentine has a decomposing effect on odors, and thus has a deodorizing effect. Further, amphibole is excellent in far-infrared radiation and has an action of altering the cells of microorganisms that cause odor, so that it is also excellent in deodorizing effect.

Chinon is an animal protein fiber containing milk protein as a main component, has the same nucleus as human skin cells, has excellent heat retention, moisture retention, absorbability, and has excellent antibacterial properties against mold. . The chinon fiber emits far infrared rays and negative ions, and has an antibacterial effect and a deodorizing effect. On the other hand, silk is also excellent in heat retention, moisture retention and absorption, and is also excellent in radiation of far infrared rays.

[0016]

The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples. Rayon fiber was used as a fiber for fabric, and 20% by weight of tourmaline, 50% by weight of silica, a total of 30% by weight of serpentine and amphibolite were mixed and kneaded into the rayon fiber. The amount incorporated into the fibers is 5% by weight. In addition, in order to ensure heat retention and moisture retention, fibers made of chinon extracted from milk components, and cotton fibers, respectively, were also used.
%, 40%, and 40%, were formed into yarns, which were formed into a knit weave having elasticity by forming a mesh space of 1 mm ² .

A belly-wrap was prepared using the woven fabric. The warming effect was examined by actually using this belly band. The measurement was done by non-contact temperature measurement (National Cardiovascular Center).
The temperature distribution is shown in FIGS.

FIG. 1 shows the temperature distribution when using a belly-wound in which nothing is kneaded, and it can be seen that the effect is small. On the other hand, FIG. 2 shows that the woven fabric obtained by the present invention is a belly-wrap, and the temperature distribution shows that the effect of using the belly-wrap is remarkable, and that the temperature rises from the neck to the shoulder besides the abdomen. . This is due to the combination of the radiation properties as well as the heat insulating chinon fibers and the network structure. This is because an appropriate mesh space is formed, so that a space of approximately the same temperature as the body temperature is formed, and the fibers constituting the mesh are in frictional contact with each other at their intersections to increase radiation characteristics and generate ions. It is presumed that the blood flow has improved. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the blackest part of the belly band, neck, and lower part of the armpit has a temperature of about 34 ° C. or higher, the surrounding white part is about 32.5 ° C., and the other parts are 32 ° C. It is the part below ° C.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show the results of far-infrared measurement of tourmaline and silica. In the case of tourmaline, the emissivity is about 85%, whereas in the case of silica, it is 90 to 95%. The emissivity is excellent.

The antibacterial properties of serpentine are as shown in Table 1. In addition, the antibacterial effect test was performed by a halo test. The cells are S. cerevisiae. Aureus, initial bacterial count 35,000 /
ml. As shown in Table 1, in the case of serpentine compared to tourmaline (red and black), the number of cells after 24 hours is remarkably reduced, indicating that the antibacterial effect is excellent.
