JP4385029B2 - Body towel and method of manufacturing body towel - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a body towel and a body towel manufacturing method, and more particularly to a body towel manufactured by a loom and a body towel manufacturing method.

As body towels used in bathrooms and the like, many woven or knitted strips using synthetic fibers are used.
Body towels made by weaving with a loom do not undulate and cannot maximize foaming, so use high-definition yarns and design twisted yarns as wefts when weaving to improve foaming and increase bulkiness. Yes.

  However, when high-definition yarn or design twisted yarn is used for the weft as described above, the weft flying resistance is high, so that a highly productive loom such as a water jet loom or air jet loom cannot be used. Therefore, there is a problem that the productivity is low because it is necessary to use a conventional saddle type or rapier type loom.

In addition, when using high-definition yarns and design twist yarns for wefts, high-definition yarns and design twist yarns are required in addition to ground forming weft yarns, which not only increases the cost, but also makes the structure complicated, resulting in productivity. There was also a problem of further lowering.

  The present invention has been proposed in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to produce a body towel with high productivity and good foaming at low cost.

Body towel according to the present invention in order to achieve the above object, a body towel interwoven with the warp and weft, e pull assortment a plurality of warp yarns made of the monofilament yarn every approximately equal intervals, the pull A towel material in which a plurality of aligned warps are repeatedly arranged with a space of a predetermined interval, a monofilament yarn is driven into the warp as a weft, and the portion of the weft where the space is provided becomes a crossover yarn There by being heat-treated, in which the weft yarn portion adapted to the cross-over yarn is the most important feature that protrudes is the bent to at least one of the front and back.

The method for manufacturing a body towel according to the present invention includes arranging a plurality of warp yarns composed of monofilament yarns fed from a warp beam at substantially equal intervals, and providing a plurality of warped yarns arranged at predetermined intervals. After forming a towel material in which the weft of the portion provided with the sky is a crossover yarn by forming monofilament yarn as the weft yarn to be driven into the opening in front of the reed The towel material was heat-treated to crimp or crimp the weft yarn so that the weft yarn used as the transition yarn protrudes in a loop shape on at least one of the front and back sides. Is the most important feature.

According to the present invention, a plurality of warp yarns obtained by arranging a plurality of warp yarns made of monofilament yarns at approximately equal intervals are repeatedly arranged in a state where a predetermined interval is provided, and the monofilament yarn is a weft yarn. The towel material in which the weft of the portion provided with the empty space becomes a transition yarn is heat-treated, so that the portion of the weft serving as the transition yarn is bent and projected on at least one of the front and back sides. Therefore, an uneven gap is formed on the surface of the body towel.
Since a large amount of air is taken in by these uneven portions, the bulkiness of the body towel is ensured, and there is an advantage that the body towel has good foaming and is comfortable to use.

  Also, body towels produced on looms use monofilament yarns with low flight resistance for wefts, so it is possible to use highly productive looms such as water jet looms, air jet looms, and gripper looms. There is also an advantage that body towels can be manufactured at low cost by mass production.

  In addition, an uneven gap is formed on the surface of the body towel by heat treatment of the weft so as to protrude from at least one of the front and back surfaces of the body towel. Therefore, there is an advantage that it is possible to eliminate the fact that the towel becomes hard due to clogging due to shrinkage of chemical fibers that are likely to occur due to high temperature or drying in the bathroom.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a body towel according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 generally indicates the body towel.
The body towel 1 is woven in a water jet loom using nylon filaments for the warp 2 and the weft 3, and is manufactured through a weaving process and a heat treatment process.

The weaving process will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 2, about 6,000 30-denier monofilament nylon yarns that become warp yarns 2 are wound around the warp beam 4 by a warping machine (not shown). The warp yarns 2 fed out from the thread are passed through the wire healds 5 for opening one by one, and then passed through the reed 6.
As shown in FIG. 3, a total of six warp yarns 2, that is, three yarns serving as upper yarns of the opening and three yarns serving as lower yarns, are inserted into the eye 7 of the heel 6.
After three such insertions of the six warps 2 are continued, the subsequent third is emptied, and further, three insertions of the six warps 2 through the first stitch 7 of the heel 6 are continued. Thereafter, this is repeated to conduct inspection.

Next, the weft 3 having a different fineness is driven into the opening by a water jet in the front part alternately opened by the vertical movement of the wire heald 5 to form the towel material 8.
When weft 3 is driven in, the material of weft 3 is a monofilament nylon thread, so there is little resistance at the time of flight due to fluff like cotton yarn or bulkiness like design twist yarn, not to mention water jet loom, It can be woven with a high productivity non-woven loom such as an air jet loom or gripper type. The woven towel material 8 is taken up by a take-up roller 9.

  The wetting pattern of the wefts 3 with different finenesses is as follows: A is a 300 denier crimp nylon yarn repeated 10 times in the same opening, and B is a 420 denier nylon yarn repeated 6 times in the same opening. As an example, A ・ A ・ A ・ A ・ B ・ A ・ A ・ A ・ A ・ B ・ A ・ A ・ A ・ A ・ B ・ B ・ B ・ A ・ B ・ B ・ B ・ A ・ B ・ B -Towel material is formed in a pattern that repeats B.

Thus, in the towel material 8 formed in the weaving process, as shown in the longitudinal sectional view showing the structure of FIG. The towel material 8 is dried and then processed in a heat treatment process.
When the towel material 8 is heat-treated in this heat treatment process, the entire towel material 8 contracts, and a firm fabric is formed in a portion other than the transition yarn X, and the transition yarn portion X of the weft yarn 3 is wrinkled. The body towel 1 is formed which is reduced or crimped and protrudes randomly on the front surface or the back surface of the towel material 8 to ensure bulkiness.

In addition, the manufacturing method of the body towel 1 and the body towel 1 according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described example. For example, when forming a hard body towel 1 or when forming a soft body towel 1. Can change the fineness of the warp 2 and the weft 3 to produce the desired hardness, or instead of this, or by changing the driving pattern of the weft 3 of different fineness together with this, The hardness of the towel can be changed.
Needless to say, the weft 3 and the warp 2 are not limited to nylon yarns, and the present invention can be implemented as long as they are monofilament yarns of synthetic fibers without fluff.

FIG. 2 is an overall perspective view of a body towel according to the present invention. These are side views which show the outline of the loom which manufactures the body towel which concerns on this invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a heel portion of a loom for producing a body towel according to the present invention. It is an organization chart of the body towel concerning the present invention.
