JPH10117999A - Scrubbing brush - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To give a soft feeling to a product of a scrubbing brush and enhance its water absorbing and keeping characteristics by weaving or knitting threads consisting of a natural fiber or chemical fiber so that an underlay is prepared, entangling flat wire of metal (lamella thread) with a thread containing a good quantity of water so that a single piece of synthetic thread is produced, and weaving in this synthetic thread in such a way as entangled with the surface of the underlay. SOLUTION: An underlay 10 is formed from threads of a chemical fiber such as tetron, natural fiber such as cotton, etc., and a flat textile is prepared by using these threads as warps or wefts or by knitting them. The obtained flat textile is used as the underlay 10. Synthetic thread 2 is formed from synthesizing a thread made of a material containing a good quantity of water such as cotton and a flat wire of metal (lamella thread) prepared by evaporating a metal such as aluminum onto the surface of a film tape of a soft synthetic resin such as nylon and providing a metal film on the surface so that a single piece of thread is accomplished. The obtained synthetic thread 2 is woven into the surface of the underlay 10 or knit in so that a crude material for intended rubbing brush 20 is produced, and a core 3 of sponge is encapsulated in a sack 30 produced using this crude material of brush 20. Thus the intended brush is completed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scourer used for washing and polishing tableware and pots in a kitchen or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A so-called loose laminating yarn obtained by depositing or coating a metal such as aluminum on a synthetic resin film tape is knitted together with other fiber yarns or knitted into a net to form a scourer. No. 56-60
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-158 discloses a conventional method.

[0003]

However, in such a conventional scourer, since the lame yarn is weak in strength, it is very difficult to obtain a scoured fabric by knitting a plain weave or a net using a fiber yarn and a lame yarn. In addition, since the sole lame thread is exposed on the surface of the fabric, the softness and wetness of the fiber are destroyed and the function as a scourer is impaired. Yarn has a problem in terms of durability due to poor strength against pulling and severe friction, and has a problem of high cost and lack of practicality.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fiber yarn having good water content in addition to the softness of the fiber. By woven a base wire with a metal flat wire (lame yarn) entangled on the base, the softness of the fiber and the functionality of the scourer are enhanced by taking advantage of the water-containing properties, Compared with the lame thread alone, the strength against tension and severe friction is increased, the durability is improved, the manufacturing process is easy, the cost is also advantageous, and we will provide a cheap and practical scourer It is assumed that.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a scourer in the present invention forms a base 10 by weaving or knitting a fiber yarn 1a made of natural or chemical fiber, A thread 2a having a good wetness and a metal flat thread (lame thread) 2b entangled to form a single synthetic thread 2 is woven or knitted so as to be entangled with the surface of the base, thereby forming a scouring cloth 20. is there.

The scouring cloth 20 can be formed in a bag 30 and the sponge core 3 can be enclosed in the bag.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As a fiber yarn 1a for forming a base 10, a yarn made of synthetic fiber such as tetron or nylon or natural fiber such as cotton is used. Such a fiber yarn 1a is made into a warp or a weft, or into a knitting yarn, a plain woven fabric,
Alternatively, a net fabric having a knitting structure is formed, and this is used as the base 10.

The synthetic yarn 2 is formed by synthesizing a yarn 2a of a material having good water content such as rayon or cotton and a metal flat wire 2b to form one yarn. ) 2b
A thin film of metal such as aluminum or copper is deposited on the surface of a film tape of a soft synthetic resin such as nylon to form a thin film of metal.

A synthetic yarn 2 is formed by winding a metal flat wire (laminate yarn) 2b having a sufficiently large length around the yarn 2a having good water content.

When the synthetic yarn 2 is woven or knitted so as to penetrate the surface or both upper and lower surfaces of the base 10, the metal flat wire 2b of the synthetic yarn 2 forms a bent stitch. Is obtained.

The scouring dough 20 is formed into a desired size and folded in two or four to form a scourer or formed into a bag 30. The sponge core 3 can be sealed in the bag 30.

[0012]

When the tableware or the like is rubbed against the scouring dough 20, dirt is scraped off at the bent portion of the metal flat wire, but the metal flat wire is synthesized with the fiber yarn 1a having good water content. At the same time as the softness of the fiber, the water absorption and water retention capacity is increased, and the cleaning action and polishing action are enhanced.

Further, when the synthetic yarn 2 is pulled, the fiber yarn 1a such as rayon is not cut even if it is extended to near the limit point. At this time, even if the lame yarn is extended, no tension is applied at all. In addition, cutting due to tension is prevented.

[0014] Further, since the metal flat wire (lame yarn) is flat, it is difficult to form it into a woven fabric or a knitted product even if it is a single material or a synthetic yarn entangled with a fiber yarn, but the fiber yarn is woven or knitted in advance. Since the synthetic yarn 2 is woven into the surface of the base 10 later, the scouring cloth 20 can be easily formed.

[0015]

According to the present invention, as described above, the base 10 is formed by weaving or knitting the fiber yarn 1a made of a natural or chemical fiber, and the base 10 is provided with a flat yarn 2a having good water content. (Lame Yarn) Since the yarn 2b is entangled into one synthetic yarn 2 and is woven or knitted so as to be entangled with the surface of the base material, it becomes the scouring cloth 20. Since the expressed metal flat wire (lame yarn) is entangled around the entire length of the core with a well-watered fiber yarn as the core yarn, it gives a soft feeling in the hardness of the metal and Moisture absorption and water retention are increased, and there is an effect of enhancing a cleaning action and a polishing action. If the lame flat line is excessively stretched, no tension is applied to the fiber yarn even if only the lame flat line is stretched. Since no tension is applied, cutting is prevented, and durability is enhanced.

Furthermore, the above-mentioned scouring cloth is prepared by weaving or knitting a fiber yarn in advance by a usual method, and weaving or knitting a synthetic yarn in which a lame yarn is entangled on the surface of the yarn. In addition, the formation and production of scoured dough is simple and easy, and the cost is greatly reduced.
