Description

  The present invention relates to a towel with high stretchability. More specifically, the present invention relates to a towel that wipes off moisture adhering to the body or head after bathing or washing hair.

  The invention of a bath towel formed so as to expand and contract in accordance with the size of the user's body by knitting into a cylindrical shape and inserting elastic yarns (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2), and the shape of the head There is an idea of a towel cap (Patent Document 3) and a hair-wrapped towel formed in a substantially triangular shape (Patent Document 4).

  A bath towel or towel may be wrapped around the body or head after bathing, but the towels do not expand or contract because the water-absorbent fibers used in the towel are generally not elastic.

Only with the frictional force of these non-stretchable towels, the towel cannot be stably maintained and can easily be removed from the body and head. It was especially difficult for women with long and long hair.
It is troublesome to rewind a loose towel many times and it is uncomfortable if it is tightly wound so that it does not come off.

  On the other hand, there are towels attached with fasteners such as buttons and strings in order to prevent slippage, but this takes time to manufacture and leads to cost increase. Also, it is troublesome to stop the fasteners one by one.

  In order to eliminate such inconvenience, the towel of Patent Document 1 is knitted into a cylindrical shape, and elastic yarn is inserted throughout and formed to be stretchable corresponding to the circumference of the body. -Shaped double pile fabric is formed in a cap shape.

  The towel described in Patent Document 2 is also formed in a cylindrical shape, and elastic yarns that expand and contract in the circumferential direction are arranged in a bellows shape.

  Since these towels are stretchable, they are less likely to slip when worn on the body or head, but they are thick and difficult to wash and dry because they are knitted into a cylindrical shape.

  Further, the hair-wrapped towel described in Patent Document 4 is formed in a substantially triangular shape along the head in advance, and an elastic member such as rubber is provided at a predetermined location to provide elasticity, and the towel end after winding There is a doorway to insert the.

Making a towel like a turban or hat like this is cumbersome and expensive.
Installation takes time and effort.

  In view of this, an object of the present application is to provide a towel having an excellent stretchability that is a normal towel shape and that does not slip even when wrapped around the body or head.

  The base fabric is knitted with pile knitting while forming irregularities on the surface by jumping and knitting high shrinkage yarns at the chain knots of the weft and weft insertion yarns with a warp knitting machine, and at the same time with a separate rubber The elastic yarn is knitted at a predetermined interval and greatly expanded and contracted in a bellows shape in the width direction of the towel.

  Since the towel of the present application uses an original fabric knitted in a concavo-convex shape, when the towel is wound and stacked, the fabrics are locked with each other and are difficult to slip. In addition, the air layer formed by the unevenness enhances the heat retaining properties of the towel, and thus has a function of preventing the body and hair after the bath from cooling.

  Due to the unevenness of the surface of the towel, it becomes air-containing foaming and foaming, and it is a towel for rubbing that has a skin friction effect.

  Since the piles are knitted as towels, when the piles are intertwined and wound around the head, it is difficult to unwind without special locking means. Therefore, it is not necessary to wind tightly in order to prevent the towel from being unwound and dislocated, and it is excellent in wearability and does not leave a wound mark on the body or hair.

  Since the elastic yarn such as rubber yarn is knitted directly and gathered in the entire width direction of the towel, the towel fabric expands and contracts almost twice as much. Therefore, it is easy to use and easy to adjust to a desired size by freely expanding and contracting according to the body and head while being free size. In addition, it is convenient to carry because it folds small.

  There is no need to form a triangle for the head or to attach a button, string or the like as a locking means. In addition, since the machine knitting is automatically performed using a conventional warp knitting machine, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  Next, an optimum embodiment of the invention described in claim 1 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a knitting organization chart of towels knitted using the warp knitting machine of the present application.

  The ground structure 1 is knitted so as to form a pile with a chain knitting yarn 2 made of cotton yarn and an insertion yarn 3 connecting the chain knitting yarn 2. Here, the high-shrinkage elastic yarn 4 such as polyurethane-based elastic fiber is floated and knitted at a certain interval in both latitude and longitude, and the elastic yarn 4 contracts to form a towel having fine irregularities formed on the surface.

By weaving yarn that stretches directly into the fabric and imparting irregularities to the fabric itself, when the towel is wrapped around the body or head, the irregularities increase the frictional resistance and prevent slipping and slipping of the stacked fabric is there.

  In addition, the fine unevenness generated on the entire towel stretches the towel in the vertical direction, resulting in a light and smooth finish.

  In this embodiment, a non-twisted yarn with little twist is used for the cotton yarn. Usually, the cotton yarn used for towels is one that contains a lot of twists, and on the other hand, the surface is smooth and smooth.

  On the other hand, the untwisted yarn is soft to the touch, but the contact resistance increases because there is no twist.

  In the present application, since we are knitting a pile as a towel material, even when knitted into a bath towel and wrapped around the body, or even when formed into a normal towel size and wrapped around the head after washing the hair in a turban style, In addition to the friction of the piles, the piles are entangled with each other, and the wound state can be maintained by these synergistic effects.

  In addition, untwisted yarn is excellent in moisture, moisture diffusion and water absorption and drying due to less twisting, so it quickly absorbs moisture from the body and hair after bathing and swimming, and also has a short drying time after washing. .

  In addition, if the surface of the non-twisted yarn is covered with polyester having moisture diffusibility, the fluff of the yarn can be prevented, but the type of yarn used for the towel of the present application is not limited to the yarn listed in the embodiment. Any yarn that has a general water absorbency as a towel material can be used. The thickness of the towel can be adjusted by changing the height of the irregularities on the surface by adjusting the distance between the guides for guiding the highly shrinkable elastic yarn 4.

And the yarn introduction of the _rubber thread at the same time as the ground structure organized to further use a different reed, is to impart a stretch to the toweling. The number and interval of rubber threads can be changed at any time depending on the size of the towel.
The finished towel 6 has a three-dimensional shape that contracts in a bellows shape due to the contraction of the rubber thread 5 in a normal state, but since it extends well in the width direction by about 2 times, it can be easily wound around the body and head shape. It can be turned on.

  Further, the synergistic effect of the high frictional resistance of the yarn and the unevenness of the towel fabric surface prevents the towel from floating and makes it difficult to unwind.

  Since a warp knitting machine having an effective width of about 3 m is used, towels of various sizes such as general bath towels and face towels can be manufactured. In addition, it can be applied to towels of a wide variety of sizes and types, ranging from square towels used for baby bathing to towels used in summer.

  This application can be used for bath towels and towels of normal size. Since it is excellent in elasticity, it is highly useful as a towel that is wrapped around the body and head after bathing. Since it is knitted using a warp knitting machine, it can be produced as a continuous product with a maximum width of 3 m from a product with a narrow width, so it can be applied to bedding such as towels.
