Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

(Industrial Application Field) The present invention has good water absorption and its water absorption action acts strongly toward the inner layer of the fiber cloth, thereby giving a good surface dry feeling even after water absorption. Due to these characteristics, the water-absorbent fiber cloth for clothing can absorb water adhering to the body surface and sweat even when sweating, giving less cold feeling to the user and always providing a desirable dry feeling on the surface of the cloth. This invention relates to a water-absorbent textile fabric for clothing that has advanced functional properties such as: The absorbent fiber cloth for clothing of the present invention can be effectively used for various purposes such as bathing-related products such as bathrobes and bath towels, and swimming gowns by taking advantage of the above-mentioned characteristics. It is something. (Prior Art) Conventional water-absorbing fabrics are generally fabrics using cotton yarn or cotton/polyester blend yarn. However, although these materials have excellent water absorbency, when they absorb moisture, the surface of the fabric becomes wet, and this state continues, so for example, if it is a bath towel or bathrobe, it will be used once. When you use it again after that, you cannot expect a comfortable feeling. Furthermore, these products also have problems such as slow drying speed during washing. On the other hand, as a fiber cloth with water-absorbing properties,
Knitted fabrics described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 60-14778, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 59-133688, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 59-204939 are known, but all of these fabrics absorb sweat from the human body and remove it from the skin. This relates to a knitted fabric intended for sports clothing that has an excellent ability to move from the surface to the outside and evaporate, and is used with one side of the fabric facing the outside and the other side facing the skin. If the above-mentioned bathrobes and bath towels are simply made from these knitted fabrics, one side of the fabric will not feel cold and the surface will feel dry, but the absorbed moisture will be unevenly distributed on the other side. On the other hand, there was a problem in that it gave a cold or wet feeling. In particular, it is desirable that bathrobes and bath towels have water-absorbing properties on their front and back surfaces, and that even when they absorb water, they do not feel cold or wet on both sides.
Furthermore, unlike the above-mentioned sports clothing, it cannot be expected that water will evaporate from one side during use, and it is desirable that the clothing has a certain level of water retention ability. (Problems to be solved by the invention) In view of the above-mentioned points, the purpose of the present invention is to improve the drawbacks of the conventional products as mentioned above, and to provide a product that has good water absorption properties and also has good water absorption properties. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new water-absorbent fiber cloth for clothing, which can exhibit a good surface dryness and can thus be comfortably used in bath-related products such as bathrobes and bath towels, and swimming gowns. be. (Means for Solving the Problems) The water-absorbent fiber cloth for clothing of the present invention that achieves the above-mentioned object has the following configuration. In other words, a fiber cloth having a property of having a specific directionality and allowing water to permeate from one surface side of the cloth to the other surface is connected to at least one other fiber cloth of the same type or another type on the water permeation direction side of the fiber cloth. This water-absorbent fiber cloth for clothing is characterized by being made of an integral composite. In addition, in the above-mentioned water-absorbent fiber cloth for clothing of the present invention, in particular, two fiber cloths having a specific directionality and having the property of allowing water to permeate from one surface side of the cloth to the other surface are used; A preferable example of the embodiment is a fiber cloth that is integrated into a composite material with its surfaces in the water permeation direction facing each other. (Function) Hereinafter, the water absorbent fiber cloth for clothing of the present invention will be explained in more detail based on the drawings and the like. As shown in the model structure in FIG. 1, the water-absorbent fiber cloth 1 for clothing of the present invention has a fiber cloth 2 having a specific directionality and a property of allowing water to permeate from one surface side of the cloth to the other side. , and is integrally composited with at least one other fiber cloth 3 on the water permeation direction side of the fiber cloth. Such another fiber cloth may be of the same kind as the fiber cloth 2 having the above-mentioned properties or of various kinds. In the figure, arrow A indicates the direction of water permeation through the fiber cloth 2. Here, in the present invention, "a fabric having a property of having a specific directionality and allowing water to permeate from one surface side of the fabric to the other side" refers to the fabric water absorption rate and the detected moisture ratio of the front and back sides as shown below. In the step of the measurement method, the amount of moisture detected on one side is greater than the amount of moisture detected on the other side, and it is obvious that within the same fabric test piece, A condition in which a large amount of moisture is unevenly distributed on one surface of the fabric, and almost no moisture is present on the other surface. In the present invention, the above-mentioned "fabric material having a property of having specific directionality and allowing water to permeate from one surface side of the fabric to the other surface" has a water absorption rate of 90% as defined below. It is best to use a material that meets the above criteria and has a detected moisture ratio of 3.0 or more on the front and back sides.
Furthermore, according to the findings of the present inventors, it is most desirable to use a material whose front and back detected moisture ratio is 5.0 or more. Furthermore, the direction from the side where almost no moisture is present to the side where moisture is unevenly distributed is the water permeation direction in the present invention. (1) Method for measuring fabric water absorption rate and moisture ratio detected on both sides: Standard temperature and humidity conditions (temperature 60℃, humidity 65%RH)
At the bottom, take a test piece with a width x length = 10 cm x 10 cm square, and on the other hand, prepare a blotting paper with a width x length = 10 cm x 10 cm square. Under standard temperature and humidity conditions, measure the weight of each of the two blotting papers and the weight of the test piece. Weight of test piece (g): F ₁ Weight of blotting paper (g): P ₁ , P ₂ Under standard temperature and humidity conditions, 1.0 cc of distilled water was dropped onto a glass plate, and on top of it, Place one side of the test piece in contact with the distilled water and leave it for 2 minutes. Then, the weight F ₂ (g) of the test piece is immediately measured. After that, a layer of blotting paper was placed on one surface and the other surface of the test piece, and a metal plate of the same size as the test piece was placed on another glass plate in a sanderch state with the test piece located in the middle layer. After applying a load of 5 g/cm ² to the entire body and leaving it for 1 minute, immediately check the weight (g) of the blotting paper.
Measure. The weight of the blotting paper whose origin is P ₁ (g): PW ₁ The weight of the blotting paper whose origin is P ₂ (g): PW ₂ From each weight obtained above, according to the following formula, the initial The water absorption rate of the fabric and the detected moisture ratio on the front and back sides are determined for the amount of water dripped (1 g). Fabric water absorption rate = {(F ₂ − F ₁ )/1} × 100 (%) When calculating the detected moisture ratio on both sides, calculate the water absorption weight of each blotting paper using the following formula, and calculate the water absorption of the blotting paper on the front side. Weight: PW ₁ - _{P 1} Water absorption weight of the blotting paper on one surface side: PW ₂ - P ₂ The larger value of these values is divided by the smaller value to calculate the detected moisture ratio on the front and back sides. be. In the above, each water absorption weight corresponds to the amount of water present on each surface of the fabric. In the above test, the number n is determined by the average value of five tests. In the present invention, the fiber cloth having the above-mentioned specific directionality and having the property of allowing water to permeate from one surface side to the other side is typically
Publication No. 14778, Publication No. 133688 of 1987, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 1987-133688
As described in Publication No. 59-204939, etc.
It is possible to use a fabric in which the distance between the constituent fibers on one side of the fiber cloth is different from the distance between the constituent fibers on the other side. For example, FIG. 4 shows that due to the difference in the distance between the constituent fibers on one surface and the distance between the constituent fibers on the other surface, the fabric has a specific directionality from one surface side to the other. FIG. 2 is a knitting structure diagram showing an example of a knitted fabric that is an embodiment of a fiber cloth that can have water permeable properties on the other side. In addition, there are also fiber cloths in which one side is made of highly hydrophilic fibers such as cotton and the other side is made of less hydrophilic fibers such as synthetic fibers, or fiber cloths made of synthetic fibers. It is also possible to use a fiber cloth that has been subjected to a hydrophilic treatment on only one side. Further, the fiber cloth may be a knitted fabric, a nonwoven fabric, or a combination thereof. In addition, by making the surface of a fiber cloth having a specific directionality and having the property of allowing water permeation from one surface side of the cloth to the other surface side to have an uneven structure, By maintaining partial contact with the skin surface, it is possible to more effectively prevent wet or cold sensations. In the present invention, the above-mentioned structure in the fiber cloth causes capillary phenomenon, and the moisture adhering to the body surface of the user and the perspiration are quickly absorbed and transferred to the cloth, which has good water absorption properties. In addition, its water absorbing action acts strongly toward the inner layer of the fiber fabric, thereby giving the wearer a good surface dry feeling even after water has been absorbed. Therefore, when the textile fabric of the present invention is made into clothing,
The surface opposite to the surface in the water permeation direction in a fiber cloth that has a specific directionality and has the property of allowing water to permeate from one surface of the cloth to the other surface (the surface indicated by 4 in FIG. 1)
However, the main idea is that it is configured to be worn with the skin side facing up. As shown in FIG. A sewing method such as quilting sewing of the overlapped materials, an adhesion method such as dot bonding with an appropriate adhesive, or an appropriate intertwining and unifying method can be employed. Moreover, FIGS. 2 and 3 are schematic side views showing other embodiments of the water-absorbent fiber cloth for clothing of the present invention, and FIG. According to the present invention, fiber cloths 2 and 2' having the property of allowing water to permeate from one surface of the cloth to the other surface are used, and the surfaces thereof in the water permeation direction are arranged so as to face each other to form an integral composite. This fiber cloth can exhibit good water absorbing properties on both the front and back sides. FIG. 3 shows that, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, there is an additional layer between two fiber cloths 2 and 2' having specific directionality and having the property of allowing water to permeate from one surface side of the cloth to the other surface side. Another fiber cloth 5 is interposed therebetween. And in this aspect,
The fiber cloth interposed in the middle layer may also be a fiber cloth that has a specific directionality and has the property of allowing water to permeate from one surface side of the cloth to the other surface side. In order to achieve all of the objectives such as water absorption, washability, and drying properties at a high level with the water-absorbent fiber cloth for clothing of this invention, it is necessary to have water permeation from one surface of the fabric to the other side in a specific direction. It is preferable that the fiber cloth having the properties obtained and the fiber cloth of the same type or other type are both made of synthetic fibers. Further, as the fiber cloth 3 in FIG. 1, a water-repellent cloth, a waterproof/breathable cloth, or a windproof cloth may be used. Coupled with the property of allowing water to permeate from one surface to the other, it is also possible to realize a fiber cloth that has two mutually contradictory functional properties: water repellency/waterproofness and water absorption. Since the fiber cloth of the present invention is intended for use in clothing, its basis weight is preferably within the range of 200 to 600 g/m ² . According to the findings of the present inventors, the basis weight of a fiber cloth that has a specific directionality and has the property of allowing water to permeate from one surface of the cloth to the other surface is
It seems to be better to have a weight within the range of 100 to 300 g/m ² , and the basis weight of the fiber cloth that is integrated with this to be within the range of 100 to 300 g/m ² , but it is specifically limited to this. It is not something that will be done. (Example) Hereinafter, the specific structure and effects of the water-absorbent fiber cloth for clothing of the present invention will be explained with reference to Examples. Example Using a double-sided circular knitting machine 24G, polyester crimped yarn 75D (denier) - 24F (filament ), and also yarn feeders 2, 4,
Polyester crimped yarn on 6, 8, 10, 12
A knitted fabric was prepared using 75D (denier) and 72F (filament), and after scouring, it was dyed in a bath containing a water-absorbing polyester resin and finished according to normal finishing conditions. The knitted fabric thus obtained has a basis weight of 145 g/ ^m2 , and due to the difference in single fiber fineness of the two types of yarn forming the knitted fabric, the constituent fibers in the yarn forming the front surface of the knitted fabric The spacing is larger than the spacing between constituent fibers in the yarn forming the back surface, and the back surface has an uneven structure. The fabric water absorption rate of this knitted fabric is 98%, and the detected moisture ratio between the front and back surfaces is (amount of moisture detected from the back side) / (amount of moisture detected from the front side) = 10.0
It clearly had the property of allowing water to permeate in a specific direction from the front side to the back side. Next, two pieces of this knitted fabric were stacked so that their back sides faced each other and integrated by quilting to obtain the fiber cloth of the present invention, and a bath towel was made using this fiber cloth. The results of evaluating the practical properties of such bath towels are shown in Table 1. Comparative Example 1 Using a 20G double-sided circular knitting machine, polyester crimped yarn 150D (denier)-48F was attached to yarn feeders 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 with a knitting structure as shown in Figure 4.
(filament), also yarn feeder 2,
A knitted fabric was prepared using polyester crimped yarn 150D (denier) - 144F (filament) for Nos. 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12, and finished in the same manner as in the above example. The knitted fabric thus obtained has a basis weight of 280 g/m ² , a fabric water absorption rate of 98%, and a moisture ratio detected from the front and back sides of (amount of moisture detected from the back side)/
(Amount of water detected from the front side) = 10.2, and it clearly had the property of allowing water to permeate in a specific direction from the front side to the back side. Next, the edges of this knitted fabric were sewn by linking to create a bath towel. The results of evaluating the practical properties of such bath towels are also shown in Table 1. Comparative Example 2 A commercially available bath towel made of cotton pile fabric was tested together with the example product of the present invention and one comparative example product,
evaluated. Such cotton pile fabric has a basis weight of 300
g/ ^m2 , the water absorption rate of the fabric is 95%, and the ratio of moisture detected on the front and back sides is (amount of moisture detected from the back side)/(amount of moisture detected from the front side) = 0.9. , it clearly did not have the property of being water permeable in a specific direction. The evaluation results for this bath towel are also as shown in Table 1. In addition, the practical characteristics were evaluated by soaking the above three types of bath towels in a water tank, soaking them sufficiently to absorb water, taking them out of the water tank, and dehydrating them for 1 minute in a commercially available washing machine. This is an observational evaluation of the wet feeling.

[Table] The bath towel of Comparative Example 1 was also evaluated as having poor flexibility and being unsuitable as a bath towel. (Effects of the invention) According to the invention as described above, even when water adheres to the wearer's body surface or he/she sweats,
It exhibits good water absorbency, and the water quickly moves from the surface of the textile fabric on the skin side to the inner layer of the fabric, so it can always give the wearer a good surface dry feeling and keep it dry. To provide a fiber cloth that can be used comfortably without giving a feeling of coldness or coldness. In addition, it can be said that the water-absorbent fiber cloth for clothing of the present invention in which synthetic fibers are used has better washability and drying properties than conventional cloth made of cotton. It can be said to be the most suitable fiber cloth material for bathrobes and bath towels, where cleanliness is particularly desired.
