Description

  The present invention relates to a towel made of pile knitted fabric.

For towels used in shampoos and hair dyes at barbers and beauty shops, black or dark towels that are not noticeable and have a high-class feel are preferred because dirt from hair dyes adheres to them.
However, in order to remove stains, the towels used above are subject to fading and deterioration due to repeated washing using an oxidized bleach. This is because towel materials are generally made of cotton, and dyeing is performed with reactive dyes.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a high fastness towel that does not show fading or fading even when it is repeatedly washed.

As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the inventors have completed the present invention. That is, this invention consists of the following structures.
(1) A towel in which a ground yarn and a pile yarn are combined, and the pile yarn protrudes in a loop shape from one or both sides of the ground structure formed by the ground yarn to form a pile, and the pile yarn has a colorant It is composed of original fibers contained in the range of 0.5 to 5.0% by mass with respect to the total amount, the average count is 6 to 60 Ne (Ne: British cotton count), and 2. 5 to 10 times in length, and the ground yarn does not contain a colorant and / or contains non-original fibers containing less than 0.5% by mass of the colorant based on the total amount. Is a high fastness towel characterized by being 6 to 42 Ne.
(2) The high fastness towel according to (1), wherein the base yarn is a dyed or undyed cotton yarn.
(3) The high fastness towel according to the above (1) or (2), which is a pile woven fabric, and has a fabric coverage (cover factor) WCF of 20 or more and 45 or less.
Textile coverage: WCF = WCF1 + WCF2
WCF1 = Warp density Dt (2.5cm) / √ Warp count Nt
WCF2 = Weft density Dy (line / 2.54cm) / √ Weft count Ny
(4) The high fastness towel according to (1) or (2), wherein the towel is a pile knitted fabric and the knitted fabric coverage (cover factor) KCF of the knitted fabric represented by the following formula is 15 or more and 30 or less.
Knitting coverage: KCF = KCF1 + KCF2
KCF1 = Number of wales Dw (book / 2.54cm) / √ Knitting count Nk
KCF2 = number of courses Dc (2.5cm) / √ Knitting count Nk

According to the present invention, the pile protruding from the ground structure is composed of the original fibers, and thus has high fastness. Therefore, even when repeated washing with a detergent and a bleach that has a deodorizing effect on dark towels used at barbers and beauty shops, discoloration, discoloration, and fading of the surface pile were conspicuous. There is almost no deterioration. Further, since the original fiber is a chemical fiber, there is an effect that the phenomenon of washing and hardening which is peculiar to cotton hardly occurs.
In addition, if the ground yarn is made of cotton, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, pile weaving and pile knitting are easier than those of colored chemical fibers, and water absorption is superior. is there.

It is sectional drawing of the high fastness towel in one Embodiment of this invention. It is an external view which shows the high fastness towel which concerns on other embodiment of this invention.

[One Embodiment of the Invention]
Hereinafter, a high fastness towel 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The high fastness towel 1 shown in FIG. 1 consists of a pile fabric.

  This high fastness towel 1 is composed of a ground warp yarn 2 and a ground weft yarn 3 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as ground yarns 2 and 3) and a pile yarn 4, and is formed on one side of the ground texture formed by the ground warp yarn 2 and the ground weft yarn 3. The pile yarn 4 protrudes in a loop shape to form a pile, and is composed of two ground warp yarns 2, three ground weft yarns 3, and one pile yarn 4 as a unit.

The length of the pile yarn 4 is 2.5 to 10 times the length of the ground warp yarn 2 and may be appropriately selected depending on the intended use of the high fastness towel 1. If the length of the pile yarn 4 is within the above range, the high fastness towel 1 in which one side of the ground texture is covered with a pile can be obtained.
Moreover, the pile may be formed in the whole surface of a ground organization, and may be formed in a part of ground organization.

The high fastness towel 1 has a fabric coverage (cover factor) WCF of a fabric (ground texture) represented by the following formula, preferably 20 or more and 45 or less, more preferably 25 or more and 40 or less. When the cover factor of the ground structure is within the above range, the strength required for the towel and the occurrence of seam breakage can be further suppressed, and the high fastness towel 1 with a better texture can be obtained.
Textile coverage: WCF = WCF1 + WCF2
WCF1 = Warp Density Dt (Book / 2.54cm) / √ Warp Count Nt
WCF2 = Weft density Dy (2.5mm / 2.54cm) / √ Weft count Ny

<Pile yarn 4>
The pile yarn 4 is composed of an original fiber containing a colorant. Thereby, it can be set as the high fastness towel 1 which has high fastness. Furthermore, the original fiber is hard to become hard because the phenomenon of washing and hardening unique to cotton does not occur.

  The average count of the pile yarn 4 is 6 to 60 Ne, and may be appropriately selected depending on the intended use of the high fastness towel 1. Ne indicates British cotton count. The average count is an average value obtained by averaging the counts of the pile yarns 4 used.

The type of the pile yarn 4 may be appropriately selected according to the intended use of the high fastness towel 1, and examples thereof include filament yarn and spun yarn.
Filament yarn is, for example, a melt-spinning melt-spinning apparatus in which chemical fibers are mixed so that the content of the colorant is 0.5 to 5.0% by mass with respect to the total amount of the original fibers. It is obtained by spinning and drawing using The spun yarn can be obtained, for example, by twisting the short fibers of the original fibers by aligning them in a uniform thickness in a spinning process. The staple fibers of the original fibers can be obtained by, for example, drawing the obtained filament yarn and then applying crimps, and further cutting it to a necessary length.

  The primary fiber constituting the pile yarn 4 is colored in a state in which a colorant (pigment particle) that is insoluble in water, oil, alcohol or the like and has a particle size much larger than that of the dye is dispersed inside the chemical fiber. It is what.

Examples of chemical fibers include synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, and vinylon; regenerated fibers such as rayon, modal, cupra, and lyocell; and semi-synthetic fibers such as diacetate and triacetate. Polyester and rayon blends are preferred in terms of maintaining softness, quick drying, and appropriate water absorption.
Examples of the colorant include inorganic pigments such as carbon black, titanium oxide, dial, ultramarine blue, and organic pigments such as phthalocyanine, polyazo, anthraquinone, and perylene.

  The original fiber is 0.5 to 5.0% by mass with respect to the total amount of the original fiber, and preferably 1.5 to 3.0% by mass in order to obtain a preferable color density as a dark color. % Content is good. When the content of the colorant is within the above range, sufficient color development and color density are imparted to the original fiber, and smooth spinning is facilitated. The chemical fibers containing the colorant in a proportion of less than 0.5% by mass with respect to the total amount of the original fibers are included in the non-original fibers as described later.

  In order to produce an original fiber, a colorant may be added in an arbitrary process from the polymerization stage of chemical fiber to spinning, and is added after the completion of polymerization from the viewpoint of handling of facilities such as contamination and control. Is preferred. As the addition method, a master batch method is preferable depending on the stability during melt spinning and the handling property of the colorant.

<Ground yarn 2, 3>
The base yarns 2 and 3 include non-primitive fibers that do not contain a colorant and / or contain the colorant in an amount of less than 0.5% by mass based on the total amount.

  The average yarn count of the ground yarns 2 and 3 is 6 to 42 Ne, and may be appropriately selected depending on the intended use of the high fastness towel 1. The average yarn count of the ground yarns 2 and 3 is an average value obtained by averaging the yarn yarns 2 and 3 used.

  The base yarns 2 and 3 may be dyed by a conventional method by appropriately selecting known dyes such as reactive dyes, vat dyes, and disperse dyes according to the material of the non-primitive fibers.

  The types of the ground yarns 2 and 3 may be appropriately selected according to the use application of the towel 1, and examples thereof include filament yarns, spun yarns, and blended yarns.

  As non-primitive fibers, for example, other than fibers such as cotton, hemp, flax, hemp, hemp, wool, mohair, rabbit silk, wild silk, etc. The chemical fiber similar to what was illustrated is mentioned. Especially, it is preferable that it is a fiber which can provide water absorption to the obtained ground structure, and cotton is specifically preferable.

  In the ground yarns 2 and 3, the non-primarily attached fibers are preferably used in an amount of 30% by mass or more, more preferably 100% by mass, based on the total amount of the ground yarns 2 and 3. In the case where the non-original fiber is less than 100% by mass, the base yarns 2 and 3 may be used together with the original fiber. For example, the base warp yarn 2 is a non-original fiber and the weft yarn 3 is an original fiber. May be.

The high fastness towel 1 is set with the ground yarns 2 and 3 and the pile yarn 4 on the towel loom according to a conventional method, and on the towel loom, the three motions of the opening motion, the weft insertion motion and the hammering motion are coordinated. A device for sending out the warp yarn 2 and the pile yarn 4, a device for winding up the woven fabric, and a device for supplying and exchanging the weft yarn 3 are woven together.
If the ground yarn of the high fastness towel 1 is made of cotton, the production of the high fastness towel 1 will be set and adjusted in the towel loom rather than making a towel made only of yarns made of the original fibers. Is easy and hassle-free.
