Description

  The present invention relates to a cloth-cut circular knit fabric for supporters.

  Traditionally, movement disorders of joints such as knees, elbows, wrists, and ankles are often caused by bruises, sprains, arthritis, meniscal injuries, rheumatism, etc., but there is a biased load on these impaired joints And pain is added to the affected area and it causes great pain. In such a case, a method has been adopted in which the joint part is pressed and restrained by a joint supporter to suppress the movement of the joint and alleviate the occurrence of pain. As a joint supporter for fixing the joint part for such a purpose, there is a knee joint supporter formed of a circular knitted knitted fabric knitted with rubber yarn and provided with an opening through which the kneecap portion is exposed (described below) Conventionally, various structures have been proposed.

JP 7-148199 A

  However, the above-described supporter is manufactured exclusively for each part such as the knee, elbow, wrist, and ankle. For example, it is impossible to attach the knee supporter to the wrist from the viewpoint of size. In addition, when using such a supporter dedicated to each part, the thickness of each knee, elbow, wrist, ankle, etc. is unique to each individual, and is further required depending on the degree of damage to the joint. Although the stretchers, breathability, fabric thickness, fabric width dimensions, and the like of the supporters vary, there are currently no supporters that can cope with these.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and can be attached to each joint site, and easily adjusts required stretchability, breathability, fabric thickness, fabric width dimensions, and the like. An object is to provide a fabric for a supporter and a cloth cut circular knitted fabric for a supporter.

  In order to achieve the above object, a support fabric according to the present invention is a fabric woven or knitted with a composite yarn composed of a synthetic fiber and a thermoplastic elastic fiber, and the thermoplastic elastic fiber of the composite yarn is The structure is heat-sealed by heat treatment.

  In the above configuration, the composite yarn and the natural fiber yarn are reversibly knitted so that the natural fiber yarn appears on one side of the fabric and the composite yarn mainly appears on the other side.

  Further, the supporter fabric-cut circular knitted fabric according to the present invention is formed in a predetermined size capable of cutting a plurality of supporter fabrics having the above-described configurations.

  The support fabric according to the present invention is a fabric woven or knitted with a composite yarn composed of synthetic fiber and thermoplastic elastic fiber, and the thermoplastic elastic fiber of the composite yarn is heat-sealed by heat treatment. Therefore, even if the cut portion is kept cut by fusing the fibers together, it is difficult to fray, so that it is possible to save the trouble of finishing the cut portion. In addition, the stretchability and stretch recovery properties are high, and excellent stretchability and stretch recovery properties can be maintained even when the tissue is fixed by heat fusion.

Further, when the composite yarn and the natural fiber yarn are reversibly knitted so that the natural fiber yarn appears on one side of the fabric and the composite yarn mainly appears on the other side, the stretchability is high. It is also soft and comfortable to wear and feel.

And since the cloth cut circular knitted fabric for supporters according to the present invention is formed in a predetermined size capable of cutting a plurality of supporter cloths, it can be attached to each joint part and required stretchability, dimensions In addition, a plurality of supporter fabrics whose air permeability and the like can be easily adjusted can be cut.

  The best embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiment described below is merely an example embodying the present invention, and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a supporter cut circular knitted fabric according to an embodiment of the present invention. A, B, and C indicated by broken lines are for supporters from a supporter cut circular knitted fabric S. This is a reference example when cutting fabric.

  The support fabrics A, B, and C according to this embodiment are fabrics woven or knitted with composite yarns composed of synthetic fibers and thermoplastic elastic fibers, and the thermoplastic elastic fibers of the composite yarns are It is heat-sealed by heat treatment. The supporter fabrics A, B, and C are obtained by cutting the supporter fabric-cut circular knitted fabric S having a predetermined size capable of cutting a plurality of parts into a desired shape and size. It is done.

  Examples of the synthetic fibers constituting the composite yarn include nylon fibers and polyester fibers.

  Further, as the thermoplastic elastic fiber, generally known thermoplastic elastic fiber can be used, but typically, polyurethane elastic fiber can be used. As the polyurethane elastic fiber, any of a dry spinning method, a melt spinning method, and a wet spinning method can be used, but those having excellent heat-fusibility and excellent heat resistance and strength retention are preferable. A commercially available thermoplastic elastic fiber may be used, for example, polyurethane elastic fiber 78 dtex manufactured by Nisshinbo Industries, Inc., Mobilon R type yarn, or the like may be used.

  Examples of the composite yarn composed of such a synthetic fiber and a thermoplastic elastic fiber include a single covering yarn of a thermoplastic elastic fiber and a synthetic fiber.

Such a fabric made of composite yarn may be produced by either knitting or knitting, but is preferably produced by knitting from the viewpoint of stretchability and flexibility. And about the knitting machine in the case of manufacturing the fabric cut circular knitted fabric for supporters by knitting, a normal knitting machine used for creating a knitted fabric can be used, and at least a pair of front and back needle beds are provided. A method of knitting a knitted fabric with a flat knitting machine or a method of knitting a knitted fabric with a circular knitting machine and arranging it into a fabric may be used, and a knitted fabric can be created according to a conventional method. .

  The knitting method is not particularly limited, but reversible knitting, which is a two-layer knitting that is easy to manufacture, is preferable. By knitting with such a multi-layer structure, a natural fiber yarn can appear on one side of the fabric and a composite yarn can appear mainly on the other side. As a result, the natural fiber yarn can appear on one side that touches the skin, and the composite yarn can appear mainly on the other side that does not touch the skin. Therefore, rough skin caused by the synthetic fiber can be prevented.

  The natural fiber yarn used for knitting the two-layer structure is not particularly limited. For example, in addition to pure natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, wool and silk, regenerated fibers such as rayon, cupra and polynosic, acetate, etc. Any yarn such as semi-regenerated fiber can be used.

  More specifically, a knitting structure shown in FIG. 2 can be given as a knitting method when knitting a supporter's cloth-cut circular knitted fabric with a circular knitting machine. In the figure, 1 is a composite yarn, 2 is a natural fiber yarn, 3 is a dial needle, and 4 is a cylinder needle. In this way, one natural fiber yarn is knitted into the knitted fabric of two composite yarns, and the thermoplastic elastic fibers are melted by heat treatment during dyeing, pre-setting, and final setting. The fibers are fused at the intersection of the fibers or the polyurethane elastic fiber and the synthetic fiber, and the yarn of the composite yarn or the natural fiber yarn is fixed, so that it becomes difficult to fray. Furthermore, it is possible to obtain a knitted fabric that is unlikely to undergo deformation, misalignment, softness, run, densen, curl and slip-in.

  As the heat treatment condition, either a dry heat set or a wet heat set may be adopted, and the heat treatment may be performed by a method other than the set. The treatment temperature is preferably 90 to 100 ° C., and the time is preferably 20 to 30 minutes or more.

  When cutting the supporter fabrics A, B, C from the supporter fabric cut circular knitted fabric S, it is used by freely cutting the length and width required for each part such as knee, elbow, wrist, ankle and the like. Thereby, it is possible to obtain a supporter having a desired length and width according to the thicknesses of knees, elbows, wrists, ankles and the like that are unique to each individual. In addition, since the support fabric is cut to a predetermined size and then wound around the affected area, the support fabric A and B that has been wound around the knee can be worn even when the knee support is worn on the wrist. It can be wound around the wrist and can be freely mounted regardless of the dimensions.

  Further, the cut supporter fabric is wound tightly when firm fixation is required depending on the degree of damage of the joint, and loosely wound when relatively mild or long-term use is required. The wearer adjusts freely, such as turning. Then, the winding end ends of the support fabrics A and B are fixed with an adhesive tape, a stopper with a nail-like metal member, a cloth nail-like stop member fixed by sewing, or the like. Further, it may be sandwiched between the wound supporter and the bare skin. Thereby, a fastener becomes unnecessary.

  When the fabric is a knitted fabric, a tubular knitted fabric having a predetermined diameter can be cut parallel to the wale direction as indicated by a broken line C in FIG. 1 and used as a tubular supporter as it is. This eliminates the need for a fastener. Further, it may be cut and used so as to be elongated in the wale direction as indicated by a broken line in FIG. 1 or in the course direction as indicated by A.

  As described above, the support fabrics A, B, and C have high extensibility and elongation recovery properties, and can maintain excellent elongation properties and elongation recovery properties even when the tissue is fixed by heat fusion. Moreover, since natural fiber yarn is used as the back yarn, it has high extensibility, is soft, and is excellent in comfort and touch. Further, by fusing the fibers together, fraying or the like does not occur even if the cut portion is left cut, so that it is possible to save the trouble of finishing the cut portion.

It is a perspective view of the cloth cutting circular knit knit fabric for supporters concerning one embodiment of the present invention. It is a figure which shows the knitting method of the said cloth cutting circular knit knit fabric for supporters.
