Description

  The present invention relates to a rug that can secure good water absorption while securing good water absorption while being used around a water supply facility such as a kitchen or the vicinity of a washstand.

  In many cases, rugs are used by laying around water facilities, and high water absorption is required. For this reason, if the rug itself is made of fibers with high water absorption, it will immediately absorb moisture, but if you continue to use it repeatedly, the rug that gets wet due to water absorption will come into direct contact with the human body. With an unpleasant touch.

  In addition, when it was formed only from a material having high water absorption, there was a problem that the rug itself was not stretched or loosened, and the form was stable.

  On the other hand, a rug described in Patent Document 1 below has been proposed.

  The rug is formed using not only water-absorbing fibers but also water-repellent fibers having high water repellency. The structure is formed integrally by forming rectangular front and back layers using water-repellent fibers on the outer side and filling the inner space with a water-absorbing nonwoven fabric.

  With the above configuration, the inner nonwoven fabric actively absorbs unnecessary moisture through the outer front and back layers, and the front and back layers that are in direct contact with the human body have water repellency, so it is not sticky and maintains a good touch Can do.

However, the rug also has the following improvements.
Since the nonwoven fabric filled inside is covered with the front and back layers, it is difficult to remove moisture and the like that have penetrated at the same time as it absorbs moisture.

  In addition, since the rug has a complicated configuration such as a three-layer structure, it has an improvement in that the manufacturing cost is increased.

Utility Model Registration No. 3091640

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a rug that can be used in a sanitary manner while ensuring high water absorption and good touch.

The rug according to the present invention is a rug composed of a woven or knitted fabric or a non-woven fabric in a planar shape, and comprises a plurality of discrete parts having high water absorption on both front and back surfaces, and one side of the front and back surfaces. Is configured such that the proportion of the high water absorption portion relative to the entire surface is higher than the surface on the other side, and the portions other than the high water absorption portion on both the front and back surfaces are configured to have high water absorption. It is characterized by comprising a portion having a high water repellency and a lower water absorption than the portion .

  The rug includes not only mats and carpets, but also seat covers and table cloths.

Further, the rug may be formed by forming a rug body with a woven fabric, using a highly water-absorbing yarn for one of the warp and weft of the rug body, and using a highly water-repellent yarn for the other.

  By forming the rug with a woven fabric, a strong structure can be obtained. And since air permeability is securable, it is hygienic and can also provide favorable touch.

The rug may be constituted by a dobby woven fabric or a woven fabric obtained by structural deformation based on the structure of the dobby woven fabric.

In the rug, the warp is formed using a yarn having high water absorption, the weft is formed using a yarn having high water repellency, and the woof can be inserted horizontally in the thickness direction of the rug body. And the warp yarns forming the highly water-absorbing portions on each side in the thickness direction, and the warp yarns arranged in a straight line without the weft yarns being placed side by side, are alternately arranged in one direction. In the warp arranged in the wavy shape, three wefts and one weft are periodically inserted in the length direction, and a plurality of the warp arranged in the one direction are A feature is that each half is shifted to one side in the length direction by a half cycle.

If a rayon material is used among the yarns having high water absorption, very good water absorption can be ensured . In addition, examples of the high water-absorbing yarn include yarns formed using other water-absorbing fibers such as cotton, wool and hemp. Furthermore, the yarn having high water absorption may be a yarn having water absorption by performing a water absorption treatment to give affinity to a material having poor water absorption.

Further, in particular, among the yarns having high water repellency, when acrylic synthetic fiber is used, very good water repellency can be obtained. For other highly water-repellent threads, other water-repellent materials such as nylon and polyester may be used. For materials with poor water repellency, for example, a water-repellent agent such as fluorine may be coated. A water repellent treatment may be performed.

  A planar nonwoven fabric may be used for the highly water-absorbing yarn, and the nonwoven fabric may be folded into a width constituting a line width and formed into a thread shape.

  Since the thread | yarn which takes the said structure does not have the site | part twisted in the length direction, it can ensure water absorption in all the parts of a length direction. In particular, if a non-woven fabric formed of a rayon material is used, very good water absorption can be secured.

  The rug according to the present invention has a configuration in which one surface has water absorption and the other surface has water repellency. For this reason, especially when the rug is laid so that the surface having water repellency is on the upper surface side, the adhering moisture is not directly absorbed on the upper surface side of the rug, and the other surface side having water absorption or the inner side It penetrates from the upper surface side and can absorb moisture at these sites.

  Therefore, even if the rug is used repeatedly, the surface of the rug can be maintained comfortably because it can always be maintained in a dry and good touch.

  Furthermore, when using a high water-absorbing yarn for either the warp or the weft and using the highly water-repellent yarn for the other and forming the rug integrally with the woven fabric, the rug only ensures water absorption. In addition, the shape of the rug itself can be maintained by the yarn having high water repellency.

  In particular, if the woven fabric is a dobby woven fabric or a configuration in which the structure is deformed based on the structure of the dobby woven fabric, for example, a nonwoven fabric is filled into a woven or knitted fabric configured in a bag shape to form a three-layer structure. As described above, it is possible to construct a rug having a water-absorbing property with a dry surface as described above. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can also be reduced.

  In addition, the rug made of such a woven fabric can be configured to have an uneven shape on the surface having water absorption, and thus air permeability can be ensured. For this reason, when the rug is laid so that the surface having water repellency is on the upper surface side, moisture is actively absorbed, but it does not continue to retain water, and even if it is laid on the floor, it dries immediately and is hygienic. is there.

  Thus, the rug made of the woven fabric can be used by appropriately selecting the surface to be used according to the application.

  In addition, when the woven fabric is formed using a rayon material for the yarn having high water absorption and using acrylic synthetic fiber for the yarn having high water repellency, the rug has both water absorption and water repellency. Can be configured.

  When a sheet-like nonwoven fabric is used for the highly water-absorbing yarn, and the nonwoven fabric is folded into a width constituting a line width and shaped into a yarn shape, the yarn does not twist like a twisted yarn. It is possible to ensure good water absorption in the entire yarn without causing unevenness in water absorption in each part in the length direction.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The mat in this embodiment has one surface formed with high water absorption and the other surface formed with high water repellency.
Here, the surface having high water repellency on both sides of the mat is set as the X plane, and the surface having high water absorption is set as the Y plane.

1 and 2 are views showing the X-plane side and the Y-plane side as the upper surface side, respectively.
Further, in the weft constituting the mat 10, a single yarn is formed using acrylic synthetic fiber having high water repellency as a main raw material, and a twisted yarn (fastened yarn) obtained by twisting the single yarn is formed. And, it has a high water repellency.

  On the other hand, for the warp, a strip-shaped nonwoven fabric made of a rayon material having high water absorption is used as the main raw material. Further, the belt-like non-woven fabric is folded in a bellows shape while ensuring the width constituting the warp, and the cross-section is polymerized so that the cross-section is about 10 times the cross-section of the weft. ing. In this way, the warp is formed using a material having high water absorption, and does not form a twisted part in each part in the length direction like a fastening thread, so it is very good in all parts in the length direction. Absorbability can be ensured.

  And although the mat 10 in this embodiment is formed using the above-mentioned weft and warp, it is comprised by the change weave which changed the structure | tissue based on the textile structure called a dobby fabric.

  In addition, in the peripheral part 4 of the mat 10 configured in the above-described rectangular shape, a warp and a weft are configured so as not to be unwound by forming a tuck ear or performing an edge processing.

  In addition, the woven fabric configured as described above forms a woven fabric structure, but for simplification, the same woven fabric as that of the present embodiment is configured by using warp yarns 3 and weft yarns 2 of the same material. The configuration of the mat 10 in this case will be described with reference to FIGS.

  3A shows a structure chart at one site on the X plane, and FIG. 4A shows a structure chart at one site on the Y plane.

  By the way, in this organization chart, when a woven fabric is formed, hatching is applied to the portion where warp yarn 3 appears outside of weft yarn 2, that is, on each side, at the intersection of warp yarn 3 and weft yarn 2. It is shown. That is, the hatched part indicates a part having high water absorption, and the plain part schematically indicates a part having high water repellency.

  As a specific configuration of the woven fabric or a manufacturing method thereof, the warp yarns 3a arranged in odd-numbered (odd-numbered rows) out of the warp yarns 3 arranged in a few thousand pieces should be capable of inserting the weft yarn 2 in the transverse direction. Each predetermined portion in the length direction is opened by a dobby loom so as to be distributed to the upper and lower sides and configured in a wave shape (see FIGS. 3 (e) and 4 (d)).

  Furthermore, the wavy warp yarns 3a arranged in odd numbers are formed in a zigzag in plan view by shifting the phase in the same direction by half a cycle every time (3a in FIG. 3D or FIG. 4). (See 3a in (e)).

  On the other hand, the even-numbered warp yarns 3b remain linear and are aligned in parallel with the odd-numbered warp yarns 3a arranged on both sides thereof.

  The plurality of warp yarns 3a, 3b,... Taking the above-mentioned form are basically inserted while the single weft yarn 2 is reciprocated. At this time, the weft thread 2 is inserted so that the weft threads 2b, 2d on the return path side are positioned on the Y surface side with respect to the weft threads 2a, 2c on the forward path side (in FIGS. 3 (d) and 4 (b)). As shown in the arrows), the weft thread 2 is gradually slid so as to form a mat surface.

For the odd-numbered warp yarns 3a, a total of three weft yarns 2 including one weft yarn 2a on the forward path side and two weft yarns 2b and 2d on the return path side are opened toward the X surface side. The fourth weft thread 2c that passes through the lacquer A and passes next is laterally inserted into the lacquer B that is opened on the Y surface side. Thereafter, the above operation is periodically repeated (see FIGS. 3E and 4D).

  On the other hand, the weft yarns 2a and 2c on the outward path side are arranged so as to be all located on the X plane side with respect to the even-numbered warp threads 3b, and the weft yarns 2b and 2d on the return path side are all placed so as to be located on the Y plane side. (See FIGS. 3B and 3D).

That is, the mat 10 configured by the weaving method is configured such that the X plane and the Y plane are opposite to each other from the organization charts shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 4 (a). I understand that. In other words, the ratio of the weft yarn 2 having high water repellency is larger on the X surface side than on the Y surface side. On the contrary, the warp yarn 3 having higher water absorption on the Y surface side compared with the X surface side. It can be seen that the percentage occupied by increases.
In addition, in any aspect, a specific portion is not highly biased by a highly water-absorbing portion or a highly water-repellent portion.

  The above is the configuration of the mat 10 when it is assumed that the warp yarn 3 and the weft yarn 2 are made of the same material and the same thickness.

  Furthermore, in actuality, the weft 2 and the warp 3 are formed of different materials and different thicknesses as described above, and in the woven fabric manufacturing process, every time the weft 2 is inserted into the warp 3 Then, a punching process is performed in which the weft yarn 2 just after being put in the side of the weft yarn 2 that has been put in first is packed.

Here, paying attention to the X plane side, the odd-numbered warp yarns are engaged with the weft yarns arranged on the mat 10. Even-numbered warp yarns are arranged on both sides without any gaps.
On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 5 (d) and 5 (c), when paying attention to the Y-plane side, the weft yarns 2b and 2d are engaged with the lacuna A in the warp yarns 3b arranged evenly. When seen in a plan view, it can be a wavy form.
Here, the specific form about the X surface of the mat | matte 10 is demonstrated using FIG. 5, FIG.
First, as shown in FIGS. 5 (b) and 6 (b), the warp yarns 3a arranged at odd numbers are engaged with the weft yarns 2a, 2c arranged on the mat 10. As shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 6 (a), a plurality of convex portions 15 are arranged in a discrete manner on the X surface of the mat 10 by the odd-numbered warp yarns 3a. Become. That is, the X surface of the mat 10 has an appropriate space (unevenness).

  Then, even-numbered warp yarns 3b are arranged on both sides of the odd-numbered warp yarns 3a without any gaps, and the even-numbered warp yarns 3b are as shown in FIGS. 5 (c) and 6 (b). In addition, the mat 10 is in the middle portion in the thickness direction relative to the odd-numbered warp yarns 3a.

Next, a specific form on the Y surface of the mat 10 will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIGS. 5B and 6B, the odd-numbered warp yarns 3a are engaged with the weft yarns 2b and 2d arranged on the X plane side.

  As a result, a plurality of convex portions 16 are arranged in a discrete manner on the surface of the Y plane as shown in FIGS. 5C and 6C. It is larger than 15, and the space | interval of the convex parts 16 becomes a form which appeared in the nectar on the surface narrowly mutually.

  However, the odd-numbered warp yarns 3a and the even-numbered warp yarns 3b take a form in which adjacent portions are shifted from each other in the vertical direction (see FIGS. 5B and 5C). (Unevenness) can be secured.

  As described above, the X surface and the Y surface of the mat 10 can be integrally formed as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, respectively, and can be formed with an aesthetically excellent appearance.

  Next, the action and effect of the mat 10 when, for example, a wet sole is grounded on the mat 10 laid so that the X-surface side adopting the above configuration becomes the upper surface side will be described.

  In the material having water repellency, the weft yarns 2a and 2c arranged on the X surface do not directly absorb moisture. Therefore, when the sole is grounded, most of the moisture penetrates into the inside. The permeated water is positively absorbed by the warps 3a and 3b arranged on the inside of the mat and on the Y surface side.

  And the water | moisture content which remained on the sole to some extent can be absorbed completely by the some convex part 15 in the warp 3a which appeared supplementarily. For this reason, the excess water | moisture content adhering to a user's sole can be removed completely.

  Moreover, since the weft yarns 2a and 2c having water repellency occupy a large proportion of the X surface of the mat, it can be always kept dry and smooth. Even if moisture is absorbed by the convex portion 15, the surface of the X surface has air permeability and can be dried in a short time.

  On the other hand, when the wet sole is grounded on the mat 10 laid with the Y surface as the upper surface, the water adhering to the sole can be actively absorbed by the convex portion 16 on the Y surface side. At the same time, the water adhering to the sole is absorbed by the even-numbered warp yarns 3b arranged inside the mat 10. Alternatively, it penetrates indirectly through the convex portion 16. For this reason, the surface of the Y surface of the mat 10 is not excessively wet.

  Furthermore, since the air permeability can be ensured by the uneven form on the surface of the Y surface, the surface of the Y surface can be kept dry and can be used with a good touch.

  As described above, the mat 10 can be used with either the X-plane or the Y-plane as the upper surface.

  Further, since the weft 2 having water repellency is arranged on the entire mat 10, the mat 10 can maintain its form even if the warp 3 sufficiently absorbs moisture.

  Further, the mat 10 adopting the above configuration is not a complicated configuration such as filling other fibers therein. Therefore, dirt does not accumulate inside, and air permeability can be secured, so that it is hygienic and can be used comfortably. Furthermore, since the configuration is simple, no manufacturing cost is required.

  In addition, even if the mat 10 is laid with the X-plane or the Y-plane as the bottom surface, the mat 10 slides even when used around a watering facility because a plurality of convex portions contact the grounding surface. There is nothing.

  In addition, the mat 10 may be formed by other weaving methods as long as the weaving method in which the X surface and the Y surface are not the same structure, such as double weaving, diagonal weaving, or Chagall weaving, As described above, the above-described various effects are exhibited most by forming the dobby weave by changing the weave and further using the warp 3 having water absorption and the weft 2 having water repellency. be able to.

  Further, the mat 10 in the present embodiment may be configured by mixing water-absorbing yarn and water-repellent yarn as the warp yarn 3 or the weft yarn 2 respectively.

  Furthermore, a material different from the materials described above may be used as the water-absorbing yarn or the water-repellent yarn.

  For example, in the case of the above-described warp yarn 3 having water absorption, other water-absorbing fibers having high water absorption such as cotton, wool, hemp, etc. may be used, although the water absorption is somewhat inferior to that of rayon. In addition, you may give water absorption by performing the water absorption process which gives affinity with respect to the raw material with poor water absorption.

  On the other hand, for the weft 2, acrylic fiber is used. Of course, other water-repellent materials such as nylon and polyester may be used. For materials having poor water repellency, for example, water such as fluorine is used. A water repellent treatment may be performed by coating a repellent agent.

  Further, with respect to the water absorption process or the water repellent process, after the mat 10 is configured, the process may be appropriately performed on the X surface or the Y surface of the mat 10.

  The fabric having the above configuration is not limited to being configured as the mat 10, but may be configured as a carpet, a table cloth, a cushion cover, a seat cover, or the like.

  Further, in the correspondence between the above-described embodiment and the configuration of the present invention, the mat 10 of this embodiment corresponds to the rug of the present invention, but the present invention is limited only to the configuration of the above-described embodiment. Instead, many embodiments can be obtained as described above.
