Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a bulky pile fabric, rich in hygroscopicity with hardly any permanent set in fatigue and suitable as towels or bath mats by partially wrapping and twisting synthetic fiber filament having a specific size around the surface of spun yarn consisting essentially of hemp in parts of a specific area and using the resultant pile yarn. CONSTITUTION:A pile fabric is formed by wrapping and twisting synthetic fiber filament yarn having a thickness (about 20-30 denier) of <=1/10, based on that of spun yarn, consisting essentially of hemp around the surface of the aforementioned spun yarn in parts having a surface area of <=1/10 as large as that of the above-mentioned spun yarn (at 50-300 turns/m, preferably 100-200 turns/m wrapping and twisting density), forming pile yarn and using the resultant pile yarn.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a noil fabric used for towels and bath mats.

[Conventional technology]

Cotton fibers, which are highly hygroscopic, are used for the pile threads of commonly used towels and bath mats, and linen fibers, which are similarly cellulosic fibers, are rarely used; Rayon fibers and synthetic fibers are also rarely used.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Cotton fiber is thinner and softer than linen fiber, so it feels nice to the touch, but the pile it creates is weak and tends to stick.

In this respect, in order to make towels and bath mats with stiff piles that are less sticky and highly absorbent, it is desirable to use hemp fibers for the pile yarn, but since hemp fibers are too stiff compared to cotton, they tend to be bulky and open. It is difficult to spin with synthetic fibers or to blend with synthetic fibers to improve the texture.

In particular, even if an attempt is made to blend synthetic fibers with a very small blending ratio of 10% or less, the blending ratio will vary widely and it will be difficult to obtain a pile fabric in which the blending ratio of each pile is uniform.

However, the numerous fluffs of the rigid hemp fibers protruding from the surface of the replaced hemp yarn are rubbed by the heddles and reeds, making it even more fluffy, making it difficult to weave.In order to make it easier to weave, the hemp yarn is oiled. If it is made flexible, the process of cleaning the oil after weaving will be increased, resulting in higher costs.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to efficiently obtain pile fabrics made of hemp fibers, which are highly hygroscopic, have a high volume and are difficult to pile, and are suitable for use in towels and cloaks.

C Structure of the Invention] In the pile fabric 17 according to the present invention, the pile yarn 20 is #l formed by twisting the synthetic fiber filament yarn 16 on the surface of the hemp spun yarn 15 whose main material is hemp fiber 14, and The thickness (denier) of the yarn 16 is one-tenth or less of the thickness (denier) of the hemp spun yarn 15, and the filament yarn 16 is wound around a portion of the hemp spun yarn 15 that is less than or equal to tenth of the surface area of the hemp yarn 15. It is characterized by this.

"Hemp fiber j" means main fibers such as flax, hemp, ramie, jute, etc., and "[Hemp fiber 14 is the main material"] means hemp fibers such as rayon fiber and nylon fiber mixed in during the spinning process. This means that it is acceptable even if some fibers other than the above are included as impurities.

Since the thickness of commonly used pile yarn is generally 300 to 2000 deniers, the filament yarn 16 has a thickness of 10 to 5 denier.
Synthetic material of approximately 0 denier and generally 20-30 denier &&
A fiber filament yarn may be used.

The filament yarn 16 has a surface area of 10% of the surface area of the hemp yarn 15.
In order to wrap the area smaller than 1/2, the twist density should be set to 50
-300 twists/m, generally about 100 to 200 twists/m (twisting pinch about 5 to 10).

The warp threads 11 and weft threads 12 constituting the base fabric 18 may be made of fibers other than hemp, such as cotton, rayon, polyester, or other synthetic fibers.

(Effects of the Invention) The pile yarn 20 according to the present invention is made of hemp 1aiJ114 as the main material and contains a small amount of synthetic fiber 16, but this synthetic fiber 16 is not made by blending but is made from hemp spun yarn 15 as a filament yarn. Since it is wrapped around the material, its content does not vary even slightly, being 10% or less.

The hemp fibers @14 are rigid, and the hemp fibers 14 protrude like prickles from the surface of the hemp spun yarn 15 that bundles them, but in the present invention, since the filament yarn 16 is wrapped around the hemp spun yarn 15, the hemp fibers 14 are The fuzz 19 is suppressed, and the filament yarn 16
acts like a pickling agent, so the pile 13 is not rough and feels smooth to the touch, and even when it rubs against the heddles, reeds, ground warp threads 11, etc., it does not fuzz, making it easier to weave. Since there is no need to do this, a bulky open pile 13 can be formed, no oil agent is required to make the hemp spun yarn 15 flexible, and there is no inconvenience such as odor caused by residual oil agent.

The filament yarn 16 is as thin as 1/10 or less of the thickness of the hemp spun yarn 15, and has a surface area of 1/1 of the surface area of the hemp spun yarn 15.
Since it is wrapped around less than 1/0 of the area, the hemp fiber 14
The hygroscopicity and texture of the material are not impaired.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it has hygroscopicity, does not generate odor during use, is rigid and has a strong waist, does not easily get loose, has fluff of linen fibers that protrude, does not become rough, and opens bulky, and is smooth and refreshing to the touch. It is possible to efficiently obtain pile fabric 17 of hemp fiber which has a soft feel and is suitable for towels and bath cloaks.

In order to obtain pile fabric 17 with a soft texture using hemp fibers 14 like this, the thickness of filament yarn 16 should be about 20 to 30 denier, which is one-tenth or less of the thickness of hemp spun yarn 15. and make the winding density as coarse as possible, 150 times/
It is important to make the filament yarn 16 almost completely agitated and cover the surface of the hemp spun yarn 15 like a covered yarn so that the filament yarn 16 does not completely agitate and cover the surface of the hemp spun yarn 15 like a covered yarn. .

However, even if the filament yarn 16 is made thinner and twisted roughly on the surface of the hemp spun yarn 15, the ease of weaving of the pile yarn 2o produced by the present invention is not impaired thereby.

Furthermore, although FIG. 2 shows a single yarn 15 of burnt hemp spun yarn, the hemp spun yarn 15 may be a double yarn with first twist and second twist, or it may be a double yarn with first twist and second twist. It may be made by aligning several single yarns, and as long as the hemp spun yarn 15 is made by burning the spun wrap to give it the required tensile strength, it does not matter what form it takes. Does not affect utility.
