Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bath towel.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, bath towels made of cotton pile fabric are widely used. However, with a cotton towel, it is almost impossible to obtain the massage effect of removing dead skin cells, sebum and dirt, and rubbing the skin.

In consideration of these points, various bath towels that can provide a massage effect are commercially available. For example, a polyester knitted fabric with a sponge woven on it, and a bath towel for descaling, which is woven with synthetic fibers such as nylon to make it uneven, are commercially available.

Further, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-32383 discloses a bath towel in which spun yarn is twisted into a strong twist and the strong twist yarn is used as a net.

Further, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-43992 proposes a scrubbed towel in which spun yarn that has been wheelie processed is raschel-knitted.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Conventional commercially available rubbing bath towels, such as nylon towels, are hard and may scratch the skin if they are rubbed too hard. Absent. In addition, the bath towel containing the sponge is not so strong at the sponge part, so there is a risk that the part will be damaged quickly during use.

[0007] Further, in the case of the bath taol made of net cloth as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-32383, it takes time and labor to manufacture and the texture is not good. There is a lot of twisting of the thread and there are many intersections, so the texture is not good. Also, a Raschel machine such as Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-43992 does not have a voluminous feel, and it is difficult to obtain an appropriate texture.

[0008]

[The purpose of the device]

 The present invention aims to improve the conventional bath towel for friction as described above, and it has a feeling of sharpness (feeling to the skin), a feeling of volume (a feeling of swelling when held in hand) and a feeling of weight. The object of the present invention is to provide a bath towel that has a good (feeling of proper weight when it contains water), is suitable for rubbing, and has a good feeling of use.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, most of the bath towel is made of a leno weave, and the leno weave has one set of the ground warp and the leno warp, and the leno weave is a leno warp with respect to the ground warp in a set of adjacent warps. It is a gauze from the left and right, whose crossing directions are opposite, the ground warp and the entanglement warp have almost the same thickness, and the wefts have the same thickness as the ground warp and the entanglement warp or are thinner than them. The above object was achieved by a bath towel characterized in that the density of the entangled warp yarn was 5 to 12 yarns / inch and the weft yarn density was 5 to 15 yarns / inch, respectively.

[0010]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments. In the bath towel of the present invention, a thread thicker than the thread used in a normal cotton bath pile towel is used in order to make it difficult to tear even if the skin is rubbed. Moreover, even if such a thick thread is used, in order to reduce the weight when the towel is wet with water, the space between the threads is widened and the thread density is lowered to absorb water. The amount of water is reduced so that it does not become too heavy when used (that is, when rinsing or squeezing the taur, or after rubbing the skin after squeezing), it is light and easy to use.

Ordinary fabrics are made of warp yarns arranged in parallel and weft yarns intersecting each other at right angles. However, when the yarn density is low, the warp yarns and the weft yarns are easily displaced. Will end up.

Therefore, in the bath towel according to the present invention, a leno cloth is adopted to prevent the warp and the weft from being displaced, and most of the area of the towel is formed as a leno cloth. A leno weave is different from a normal weave, and as shown in FIG. 1, there are two types of warp, one type is a ground warp 1, and the other is a leno warp 2. One warp and one weft form a pair, and the entangled warp 2 changes its position for each one of the wefts 3 and intersects with the ground warp 1 to form a entanglement (intersection) between the wefts 3 and 3.

Tangle weave is known as gauze or gauze, and has been used for summer landfills, curtains, sieves, etc., but has never been used for bath towels. Yes.

[0014] Conventionally, gauze that has been used as a summer cloth or curtain has a woven structure as shown in Fig. 3. It has been found that by using such a fabric structure, a coarse fabric can be obtained, and the inventor of the present invention uses such a yarn thicker than the yarn used in the conventional cotton bath towel. I made a prototype of the organization. However, it was found that using the traditionally used leno weave as it is does not give a feeling of volume as a bath towel and is not suitable for rubbing, and it is necessary to improve it.

The applicant of the present invention further diligently studied by changing the fabric structure, the material of the yarn, the thickness of the yarn, and the yarn density. As a result, it is possible to obtain a bath towel, which is the object of the present invention, by making the woven fabric into left and right gauze fabrics, selecting the thickness of the yarn and adjusting the yarn density as in the present invention. did it.

As shown in the organization chart of FIG. 1, the entangled design according to the present invention is such that, in the warp of group A and the warp of group B, the crossing direction of the entangled warp 2 with respect to the ground warp 1 is left-right opposite. It is a gauze.

As the material of the yarn used in the present invention, hemp, cotton, silk, and synthetic fiber can be used. It is recommended to use hemp thread or strong twisted thread in order to have a sufficient crispness.

Regarding the thickness of the yarn, it is preferable that the ground warp 1 and the entangled warp 2 have approximately the same thickness. It is preferable that the weft yarn 3 has the same degree as the warp yarns 1 and 2 or is thinner than the warp yarns 1 and 2 because it has no stiffness. For example, if the weft thread 3 has a thickness of about 2/3 of the thickness of the warp threads 1 and 2, the weft thread 3 is less stiff than the warp threads 1 and 2, and as will be described later, the weft thread 3 is wavy by the warp threads 1 and 2, The fabric is fluffy.

In addition, in the gauze conventionally used for summer kimono fabric, the ground warp and the entangled warp are considered as one warp in one set, and the weft is as thick as the warp, that is, the ground warp. Alternatively, a doubled thickness is used for the entangled warp. On the other hand, in the present invention, the weft thread 3 has the same or smaller thickness as the ground warp thread 1 and the entanglement thread 2.

Regarding the thickness of the ground warp yarn 1 and the entangled warp yarn 2, for example, in the case of hemp yarn, hemp number 30 to 3 can be used in terms of single yarn, and about 10 is preferable. In the case of spinning of cotton or synthetic fiber, the warp yarns 1 and 2 can be used as cotton yarn counts 20 to 2 in terms of single yarn, and those of around 5 are preferable. In the case of silk and synthetic fiber filaments, those of 100 to 3000 denier can be used, and those of about 1000 denier are preferable.

As the material for the yarn, the warp yarns 1 and 2 and the weft yarn 3 may be the same or different materials may be used in combination.

The towel of the present invention has a larger weaving shrinkage in the width direction than ordinary woven fabrics, and when made into a product, the width is considerably narrower than the reed width on the loom. In the product, the warp density is 5 to 12 for each of the ground warp 1 and the entangled warp 2 per inch. For example, in the case of about 20 hemp yarns (10 yarns in terms of single yarn), about 6 to 7 yarns per inch are preferable. Fine count can increase thread density. The weft density is 5 to 15 yarns per inch. Even in this case, the fine count can increase the yarn density. That is, when the yarn is thick, the density is coarse, and when the yarn is thin, the yarn density is high. It is recommended that the warp density and the weft density be about the same, or that the weft density be higher.

In the present invention, since the warp threads are seen from the left and right, the weft thread 3 is pushed up and down by the force of the warp threads 1 and 2. This state will be described with reference to FIG. 2A and 2B represent the weft yarns 3 at the positions A and B in FIG. 1, respectively, and show the action state of the force of the warp yarn on the weft yarns.

In the warp yarns in the A-row, the weft yarns 3 are pushed down by the entangled warp yarns 2 and pushed up by the ground warp yarns 1. Further, in the warp yarns of the row B, a force of being pushed up by the ground warp yarns 1 and a pushing force by the entangled warp yarns 2 works. Therefore, the weft yarn 3 of A is in a state of wavy up and down. Therefore, between A and B (when viewed from left to right), the weft yarn 3 of A is pushed up by the ground warp yarns 1 and 1 of A and B. On the other hand, between B and A, the entangled warp yarns 2 push down the weft yarn 3 of B.

Looking at the weft thread 3 of the next row, in the warp thread of the row A, the force to push it up by the ground warp 1 acts on the weft thread 3 of the row 2, and the force pushed down by the entangled warp thread 2 acts. . In the warp yarns of row B, the entangled warp yarns 2 push down the weft yarns 3 and the ground warp yarns 1 push up. Therefore, between A and B, the double weft 3 is pushed down by the entangled warps 2 and 2, and between B and A the double weft 3 is pushed up by the ground warps 1 and 1.

Thus, the ground warp 1 always works to push the weft 3 upward, and the entangled warp 2 has a force to push down the weft 3. The force mainly acting on the weft 3 between the same warps, for example between A and B, is due to the ground warps 1 and 1 (a weft), or due to the entangled warps 2 and 2 ( Therefore, the weft yarns a and b are wavy upward or downward in opposite directions.

[0027] As a result, the weave yarn of the present invention has irregularities and bulges. If the warp density is too high, this bulge does not give a fluffy feeling, and if the warp density is too coarse, a fluffy feeling cannot be obtained.

The weft density and the warp density differ depending on the material of the yarn, and even if the yarn count is the same, the yarn may be different depending on the type, such as hemp-like heaviness and cotton-like weakness. preferable. In this case, cotton is softer and softer. Also, the strongly twisted yarn is more flexible, depending on the degree of twist of the yarn.

When the bath towel of the present invention is wetted with water, the wefts appear to shrink. This is because the warp swells when it is wet with water, the force of the warp is greater, and acts on the weft, causing the weft to have large irregularities and waviness, so that the warp shrinks in the lateral direction.

For this reason, when actually used, it is possible to obtain a larger volume feeling despite the fact that the yarn density is low and the weight is light.

It should be noted that the fabric woven by the inventor of the present invention as shown in FIG. 3 did not have such a swelling feeling. As shown in FIG. 4, for the weft, the ground warp 1 acts to lift the weft C between the warps CC, and the entanglement 2 pushes it down. However, since the same is true for any of the warp yarn CC, the weft yarn C is in a straight state. Further, the next weft yarn D is also pushed down by the entangled warp yarn 2 between C and C and pushed up by the ground warp yarn 1. In this way, the force in the opposite direction acts on the weft yarn D even between the adjacent warp yarns C-C. Therefore, the weft yarn D is in a straight state. In one row of warp threads C, one weft thread only slightly bends between the twine thread 2 and the ground warp thread 1, and does not bend between the warp threads and the warp threads. Therefore, such a conventional gauze fabric cannot be bulged.

In the present invention, most of the bath towels are gauze, but the ears and both ends may have other woven structure. Even with the same gauze, the warp density may be changed to make it denser at the ears and the like.

[0033]

Example 1 The left and right gauze cloths shown in FIG. 1 were prepared by using hemp yarn No. 20 twin yarn (No. 10 in terms of single yarn) as warp and three yarn No. 40 as weft (about No. 13 in terms of single yarn). Woven The ears were woven with the warp density more than doubled. In the woven product, the yarn densities other than the selvages were 7 warps (counted as one set of the ground warp and entangled warp as one set) and 10 wefts per inch. The width of this bath towel was 40.8 cm on the reed, but about 35 cm for the product. This product was fluffy and had a nice texture that was unique to hemp, so it had a nice texture. In addition, when this product was wet with water and actually used, it had moderate irritation to the skin and a good sense of massage. Foaming with soap was also good.

[0034]

Example 2 Left and right sides shown in FIG. 1 using No. 3 of 20 cotton (No. 6.6 in terms of single yarn) as warp and No. 3 No. 20 of cotton (6.6 in terms of single yarn) as weft. Woven in tangled gauze. The on-machine yarn density was 6 warp yarns (counted as a set of ground warp yarns and twined warp yarns as one set) per inch, and weft yarns 13 per inch. The ears were woven with the warp density more than doubled. The width of this bath towel was 44 cm on the reed, but about 29 cm for the product. The product was fluffy, soft to the touch and unique to cotton. In addition, when this product was wet with water and actually used, it had moderate irritation to the skin and a good feeling of massage, despite its soft texture. Foaming with soap was also good.

[0035]

[Effect of device]

 The bath towel of the present invention is light in weight and has a fluffy feel, and is easy to use as a bath towel. In addition, the bath towel of the present invention has unevenness due to the wefts, and the warp yarns are entangled and have an appropriate hardness, which is suitable for rubbing the skin, and has a very excellent feel. Good. The bath towel of the present invention is voluminous and has good soap foaming. Also, since the yarn density is low and the mesh is coarse, it dries quickly after use.
