Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to improving the appearance quality of embroidered products.

What is the embroidery product with improved appearance quality mentioned here?

This is a high-quality embroidery product that has a three-dimensional appearance on the embroidery surface, partially or completely covers the needle holes on the embroidery edges with napped fibers, and creates a continuous sense of unity with the embroidery line side force VUa base fabric.

More specifically, embroidery for clothing such as blazers, coats, dresses, etc., embroidery for decoration of wall materials, wall hangings, chair covers, cushion covers, cushions, etc., koto,
Surface decoration of musical instrument storage bags such as shamisen 9 shakuhachi, etc., back knots of doll cases, decorative shelves, etc., inner knots of precious metal boxes, jewelry boxes, etc., as well as album covers, book covers, shoes, bags, and hats. , 'Related to the improvement of embroidered products used in personal accessories such as gloves and neckties.

(Prior Art) Embroidery is incorporated into daily life as a means of decoration and identification, and the more elegant it is, the more luxurious it is and the more valuable it is.

There is hand embroidery, which is represented by 9 Japanese embroidery, as an elegant type of embroidery. However, because it is hand-processed, productivity is low.

The processing cost is high and skill is required to obtain good embroidery, and the production volume is small, making it unsuitable for mass production. Therefore, it is not cheap enough for the masses to easily obtain.

As embroidery that can be obtained at low cost, there is machine embroidery that is embroidered using a processing machine such as a headstand embroidery machine, a multihead embroidery machine, or a shift-free embroidery machine. Machine embroidery is cheap, but
Appearance quality is poor. In other words, the embroidery surface is flat and has a pastel-like appearance, and it does not have an elegant and luxurious feel.

The inventor of the present invention has carefully studied the factors that create an elegant appearance in embroidery processing, and found that conventional machine embroidery requires embroidery base fabric,
It was discovered that there were defects in the needle hole and the shape of the embroidered surface.

In other words, the main conventional base fabrics used in machine embroidery are:
Fabrics made of woven or knitted fabrics, raised fabrics based on these woven fabrics or silk fabrics, resin-coated fabrics, or felt.

Generally, felt is considered to be a base fabric that can be easily embroidered.

In other words, felt is bulky and the fibers that make up the felt are loosely bonded, so even if the embroidery machine thread increases the fiber density during the embroidery process, the fibers that make up the felt will be misaligned and the embroidery will fail. Almost no processing wrinkles occur.

However, the high bulkiness and the tendency of the fibers to shift do not have the effect of restoring the needle hole that occurs during the embroidery process, and the needle hole remains open, leaving an unnatural feeling on the embroidered surface.

Fabrics made of woven or knitted fabrics, or raised fabrics or resin-coated fabrics based on these woven or knitted fabrics, have a woven structure or knitted structure, so the degree of fiber fullness caused by the embroidery machine thread during the embroidery process may vary. When there is an increase in embroidery, it is regulated by the woven or knitted structure and prevents the fibers that make up the base fabric from shifting, resulting in a density difference between the embroidered area and its surroundings, which causes embroidery wrinkles and deteriorates the appearance quality. It's bad.

In addition, fabrics made of woven or knitted fabrics, or resin-coated fabrics based on these woven or knitted fabrics, like felt, have poor rebound resilience, and have the effect of returning the needle hole that occurs during the embroidery process to its original state. There is no.

The needle hole remains open, leaving an unnatural feeling on the embroidery surface.

Furthermore, raised fabrics made of fabrics made of woven or knitted fabrics do not have the effect of restoring needle holes themselves, but they can hide needle holes with the napped fibers, so they do not actually remove needle holes. There is no problem. However, the fibers used for velvet and the like usually have a fineness of 1 denier or more in order to maintain a good nap. Because the fibers are thick (1 denier or more) and the hair legs are short, they have a brush-like appearance.As a result, when embroidery is performed, the napped fibers stand between the stitches of the embroidery machine thread, making the embroidery surface uniform. It is not embroidered, and since the fibers are thick (1 denier or more), the number of napped fibers is relatively small, and the base layer is exposed near the edges of the embroidery process, resulting in poor appearance quality.

Conventionally used fabrics, raised fabrics, resin-coated fabrics, and felts lack rebound resilience, so it is not possible to add curvature in the length direction of the embroidery seam, and the embroidery surface is flat and has a paste-like appearance. It even looks like Chiyogami was cut and pasted onto cloth. Those skilled in the art know that the luxury of embroidery can be achieved by forming the embroidery surface three-dimensionally.

However, in order to create embroidery with a three-dimensional effect on a flat embroidery base fabric, many embroidery stitches are required, which results in a lot of embroidery machine thread passing through the embroidery base fabric, and the embroidery area and its surroundings. It is undesirable to widen the difference in the degree of fiber filling and cause significant embroidery wrinkles. In other words, when creating embroidery with a three-dimensional effect, the appearance quality deteriorates due to embroidery wrinkles, and this is a problem that has not yet been solved.

Embroidery is also used as a decoration and a means of identification.
The embroidered surface needs to stand out, so the greater the difference in gloss between the embroidery and the embroidery base fabric, the better. For this reason, rayon is widely used as embroidery machine thread to this day.

On the other hand, fabrics such as woven fabrics and knitted fabrics and felt used as embroidery base fabrics have fluff on their surfaces.

Most fibers have their side surfaces exposed on the surface of the base fabric and reflect light, reducing the difference in gloss from the embroidered surface.

The conspicuousness of the embroidered surface is reduced. Resin-coated cloth also reduces the conspicuousness of the embroidered surface due to the surface reflection of the coating agent. Additionally, raised fabrics, such as velvet, are known as fabrics that have low surface reflection of light. However, as mentioned above, it has the drawback of deteriorating the appearance quality during embroidery processing, and in reality, it cannot be put to practical use.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) It is an object of the present invention to solve the various drawbacks of the prior art, to provide a three-dimensional appearance to the embroidered surface, and to cover part or all of the needle holes on the edge of the embroidery with napped fibers. To provide a high-quality embroidery product whose concealed embroidery edge part forms a continuous sense of unity with the embroidery base fabric at a low cost by industrial production.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The embroidery product of the present invention that achieves the above object has the following configuration.

That is, 1) the present invention is an interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric structure consisting essentially of a base layer and a surface layer, and 2) the surface layer has a fineness of 0.01 to
The embroidery base fabric is an interlaced fiber non-woven fabric structure having napped fibers made of ultrafine fibers of 0.7 denier, and the base layer fibers are bonded by an elastic resin. This is an embroidery product in which the stitches are given curvature in the length direction and the needle holes of the stitches are covered with napped fibers.

The embroidery product of the present invention is characterized by having a new function in the embroidery base fabric, and more preferably, by having a new method of using the backing fabric, the embroidery surface has a three-dimensional effect.1. Part or all of the needle hole on the embroidery edge is covered with the napped fibers, so that the embroidery edge has a substantially continuous sense of unity.

The interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric structure used in the present invention is as follows.

It is substantially composed of a base layer part and a surface layer part, and the surface layer part is o, o.
It has a nap layer made of ultrafine fibers of i ~ 0.7 denier,
The base layer is made of an elastic resin, and is formed by bonding and fixing the intertwined points of the fibers constituting the interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric. These intertwined points move when an external force is applied due to the action of the elastic resin, and return to their original state when the external force is removed, and during this time the intertwined points of the bonded and fixed fibers are not destroyed.

It is important that the fibers constituting the napped layer of the surface layer are easily laid down by the stitches formed by the embroidery sewing thread when embroidery is performed. That is, when a plurality of embroidery sewing threads are sewn in parallel on the embroidery surface, it is undesirable for the napped fibers to protrude from the gaps between the arranged sewing threads, as this is extremely poor in appearance quality. In order to prevent the napped fibers from protruding from the gaps between the embroidery sewing threads, the napped fibers must have a fineness of 0.7 denier or less, be thin and flexible, and be curved in the longitudinal direction of the napped fibers. If the fineness of the napped fibers exceeds 0.7 denier, the napped fibers will lack flexibility, become straight, and the embroidery will not have a good quality appearance, and the napped fibers will protrude from the gaps between the sewing threads, which is undesirable. .

On the other hand, the napped fibers used in the present invention have the function of covering part or all of the needle holes on the embroidery edge in conjunction with the action of the base layer of the interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric structure. It is necessary for the napped fibers to stand up at the interface with the base layer of the interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric structure. Therefore, the hair fibers are required to have stiffness. Therefore, the fineness of the napped fibers is 0.
．． If the weight is less than 0.01 denier, appropriate lower back strength cannot be obtained.

Not suitable for embroidered products of the present invention.

That is, the napped fiber used in the present invention has a fineness of 0.01 to 0.
．． The napped fibers are in the range of 7 denier and are flexible and strong, and the napped fibers are curved to form the surface layer of the interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric. In addition, in order to maintain flexibility and further increase the strength of the waist, multiple ultra-fine fibers are bundled together, and these bundled fibers are made into one unit, just like a rice harvesting machine, so that the napped fibers are loosely connected to each other. It is also possible to entangle the hair and improve the state of piloerection.

The interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric structure used in the present invention is obtained by producing a known punched nonwoven fabric, impregnating the nonwoven fabric with an elastic resin, and bonding and fixing the intertwined points of the fibers constituting the entangled fiber nonwoven fabric. The interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric structure impregnated with an elastic resin is fluffed on the surface of the underarm woven fabric using a puff to create a surface layer that is essentially made of napped fibers and a base layer that has rebound resilience and is made by bonding and fixing the fibers. It is something that forms. The intertwined fiber nonwoven fabric structure is made up of a napped fiber layer and a base layer.

It is dyed in an appropriate color and used as an embroidery base fabric.

The fibers constituting the interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric structure may be synthetic fibers such as polyester or polyamide. Further, the fibers constituting the interlaced fiber nonwoven structure can be randomly intertwined, and if possible, a plurality of fibers can be randomly intertwined as one unit.

In other words, a composite fiber consisting of a plurality of island components such as polyester or polyamide and a sea component soluble in a solvent is prepared by dissolving the sea component and leaving only the island component after producing an interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric structure. .

It is an interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric in which a plurality of fibers are randomly intertwined as one unit.

Polystyrene is suitable as the sea component, and trichlene is suitable as the solvent.

The elastic resin for bonding and fixing the intertwined points of the fibers constituting the interlaced fiber nonwoven structure can be appropriately selected from polyurethane, hot melt type polyester resin, acrylic resin, butadiene rubber, natural rubber, and the like.

The configuration of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing an example of an embroidery base fabric used in the embroidery product of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway perspective view when an embroidery surface is formed using the embroidery base cloth used in the present invention. FIG. 3 is for explaining one effect of the embroidery product according to the present invention.
This is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view of the embroidery base fabric, and two napped fibers are shown for convenience. FIG. 3a shows the state before the embroidery stitches are formed, and FIGS. 3b and 3d both show the state after the stitches are formed. Figure 6 shows the case where no backing fabric is used.

Fig. 3 0 shows a case where a backing fabric is used, but the backing fabric does not contain heat-fusible synthetic resin dots, and Fig. 3 d shows a backing fabric containing heat-fusible synthetic resin dots. After embroidering the fabric, it is heated using a heating element such as an iron to melt the heat-sealing resin, and the backing fabric is bonded and integrated with the embroidery base fabric. Figure 4 shows a raised fabric that does not exhibit rebound resilience as a comparative example.

This shows the state in which the embroidery stitches have been formed, and the napped fibers are shown as 2 for convenience.
It is shown in the book.

As shown in FIG. 1, the base layer part 1 of the interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric structure consists of 9 fibers 2 constituting the interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric structure, 9 elastic resins 3, and intertwining points 4 of the fibers constituting the interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric structure.
It is made by bonding and fixing. The surface layer 5 of the interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric structure has napped fibers 6 made of ultrafine fibers of 0.01 to 0.7 deniers, and the interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric structure having such a structure is used as the embroidery base fabric 7. The napped fibers 6 are curved in the length direction.

The base layer part 1 of the embroidery base fabric 7 used in the embroidery product according to the present invention is made up of the bulkiness of the nonwoven fabric and the elasticity of the resin because the intertwining points 4 of the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric are bonded and fixed by the elastic resin 6. , it has repulsive elasticity just like a pneumatic rubber band, and as shown in Figure 3, the embroidery B base fabric 7 is constricted with the upper thread 8 and lower thread 9 of the embroidery sewing machine thread to create the embroidery stitch. 10, the needle holes 11, 117 become the center, and the embroidery base fabric 7 is depressed at the center of the needle holes 11, 117.
The embroidery base fabric 7 expands due to the increase in internal pressure due to the decrease in surrounding volume.
Upper thread of embroidery machine thread along with 8. Both bobbin thread 9 and embroidery base fabric 7
In response to the expansion of the embroidery stitches 10, a curvature is generated in the length direction of the embroidery stitches 10, forming a three-dimensional structure. In other words, by forming the embroidery stitches, the embroidery base fabric according to the embroidery of the present invention changes from the flat state shown in FIG. 3a before the embroidery stitches are formed to the uneven state shown in FIG. It is characterized by change.

Furthermore, the napped fibers 6 adjacent to the needle holes 11 and 117.

Due to the depression of the needle holes 11, 11/, the nape fibers 6 are inclined in the direction of the needle holes 11, 11/, and the napped fibers 6 are located above the needle holes.
It acts to cover up 1, 11/. However, when the embroidery surface 12 is formed using the embroidery base cloth 7 according to the present invention, the second
As shown in the figure, the needle hole at the edge of the embroidery is covered by the napped fibers B, and the needle thread 8 of the embroidery sewing thread is held as if floating between the napped fibers, and the needle thread 8 is held above the napped fibers 6 and the embroidery sewing thread. The boundary with the thread 8 lacks clarity, giving a visual sense of continuity and unity.

Figure 6 d shows that the curvature of the embroidery stitches has been made even sharper.
This is an example of the present invention that improves the three-dimensional effect.

It is well known to use a backing fabric during embroidery. FIG. 6 As already explained, since the embroidery base fabric 9 used in the embroidery product of the present invention has rebound resilience, the cross-sectional shape changes when embroidery stitches are formed on the embroidery base fabric. However, as shown in FIG. 3C, when the backing fabric 16 is simply overlapped with the embroidery base fabric 7 for embroidery.

The backing fabric 13 also changes as the embroidery base fabric 7 changes.

Base line 14 and needle hole 11° 11' on the lower thread 9 side of the embroidery machine thread
A gap 15, 15/ is formed between the periphery and the periphery.

However, the backing fabric containing heat-fusible synthetic resin dots is layered and embroidered with the resin dot side facing the embroidery base fabric, and after the embroidery process, the heat-fusible resin is melted using a heating element such as an iron. While pressing, press the backing fabric 13 onto the heat-sealing resin layer 1.
When the backing fabric 13 and the embroidery base fabric 7 are bonded and integrated with each other through the adhesive layer 6 and further cooled, the interface between the backing fabric 13 and the embroidery base fabric 7 solidifies into a flat plate shape as shown in FIG. 3D, and as shown in FIG. 3G. The voids 15, 15/ that would otherwise occur disappear. The eliminated void is transferred to the area around the needle hole 11 and 11 on the needle thread 8 side of the embroidery sewing machine thread. Therefore, the height difference between the troughs of the needle holes 11, 11/ and the middle part of the embroidery stitch 10 is further expanded, and the three-dimensional appearance of the embroidery stitch can be improved. The backing fabric used here only needs to have lower elongation than the embroidery base fabric and less shrinkage when exposed to heat.

Fig. 4 shows a vertical cross section of the embroidery base fabric when embroidery stitches are formed on a raised fabric that does not exhibit rebound resilience as a comparative example, but the embroidery base fabric 7' is simply the upper thread of the embroidery machine thread. 8' and bobbin thread 9', but the effect of imparting curvature to the embroidery sewing thread is not retained. Also, the napped fiber 6′
Since the direction of the raised hair does not change during the embroidery process, the needle hole cannot be covered up and the quality is poor.

(Effect of the invention) ■ Embroidery products with improved appearance quality according to the present invention.

The embroidery surface has a three-dimensional feel, part or all of the needle hole on the embroidery edge is covered with napped fibers, and the embroidery edge has a continuous sense of unity with the embroidery base fabric, giving it a high quality that cannot be obtained conventionally. It is an embroidered product. Moreover, it has the advantage that it can be provided at low cost through industrial production means.

■ Embroidery products with improved appearance quality according to the present invention.

Because the embroidery surface is structured three-dimensionally, the width of the embroidery surface differs depending on whether you look at it from the front or from the top, bottom, left, or right, and the reflection of light also changes accordingly9. This is an embroidered product with a new style that shows movement on the embroidered surface from an optical perspective.

■ The embroidery base fabric constituting the present invention has a base layer made of an intertwined fiber non-woven fabric structure containing an elastic resin.Since it has rebound resilience, it can create a three-dimensional effect from a flat embroidery base fabric without creating embroidery wrinkles. It has the advantage of being able to create certain embroideries.

■ The embroidery base fabric constituting the present invention has a fineness of 0.0 in one surface layer.
It has napped fibers made of ultrafine fibers of 1 to 0.7 deniers, and since the napped fibers are curved in the length direction, they are easily collapsed by the needle thread of the embroidery sewing thread when forming embroidery stitches. When multiple embroidery machine threads are sewn in parallel.

No napped fibers protrude from the gaps between the lined sewing threads, resulting in an extremely high quality appearance.

(2) The napped fibers used in the present invention can be constructed by bundling a plurality of ultra-fine fibers and using the bundled fibers as one unit, just like a rice harvesting machine.

The texture is soft, thick and high tension, and together with the embroidery machine thread that makes up the embroidery surface, it has the effect of creating an elegant feeling.

(2) The napped fibers used in the present invention can be constructed by bundling a plurality of ultra-fine fibers and using the bundled fibers as one unit, just like a rice harvesting machine.

The surface of the surface layer of the embroidery base fabric has an optically minute mottled pattern effect, that is, a mottling effect.

This effect is very similar to the fact that the fibers that make up Japanese paper are not uniformly dispersed, so parts of different luster and lightness are irregularly mixed together, giving it a unique and elegant appearance. However, the surface of the embroidery base fabric used in the embroidery product of the present invention has a mottle ring effect.

The ``rust'' effect traditionally achieved by writing with a brush on washi paper can be expressed using a different technique called embroidery.

Moreover, while Japanese paper is solid white, the embroidery base fabric used in the embroidery of the present invention can be dyed in any color such as pink or blue, and the color scheme can be freely changed by changing the color of the embroidery machine thread. To be able to do it.

It has the effect of expanding the traditional black and white "rust" field to the chromatic field.

(Example) The present invention will be explained in more detail below using examples.

Example 1 A nylon staple with a fineness of 0.7 denier and a fiber length of 68 mm was processed into a silundum web using a card machine, and the random web was stacked and fed to a needle punching machine.
000 times/1 nch" needle punching was performed to obtain an interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric structure. Next, the interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric structure was impregnated with polyurethane and coagulated to obtain a sheet-like product. The surface of this sheet-like material was The surface of the hair was bristled, and the raised side was brushed to make the hair uniform.After the hair was conditioned, it was dyed pink using an acid dye to obtain an embroidery base fabric with a thickness of 0.65 mm. Layer the line adhesive interlining with heat-sealed nylon resin dots attached to the bottom of the cloth as a backing fabric, set it in the embroidery frame, and use the Paldan embroidery machine Beat 101.
At a speed of 600 stitches per minute, she embroidered a waka poem in seventy-five keys, consisting of 13,500 stitches. The embroidery sewing thread used was black rayon thread, and its composition was 1200/1x2. The backing fabric side of the obtained embroidery was pressed with an iron at a temperature of 140° C., the heat-fusible nylon resin was melted, and the embroidery base fabric and the backing fabric were bonded together.

The embroidered characters have a three-dimensional feel, the needle holes at the edges of the embroidery are covered with napped fibers, and are virtually hidden to the extent that it is difficult to find the needle holes, and the embroidery stitches are floating between the napped fibers. It was in very good condition and of extremely high quality. Furthermore, the fabricated embroidery was framed and hung on a wall, and it was confirmed that it was suitable for interior decoration.

Example 2 Using 35 parts by weight of polyester as the island component and 65 parts by weight of polystyrene as the sea component, each filament contained 2 parts by weight.
A sea-island composite fiber consisting of 0 fibers was obtained. This composite fiber was processed into an interlaced fiber nonwoven/fabric structure in the same manner as in Example 1. The produced interlaced fiber nonwoven fabric was immersed in trichloride to dissolve the polystyrene and the single yarn denier was 0.012 d.
, fibers with a fiber bundle denier of 0.24 d were obtained. After dissolving the polystyrene, dye it using a disperse dye at high pressure of 160°C to a pale light blue color to obtain an embroidery base fabric with a thickness of 0.34mm.9 Heat-fusible nylon resin dots are attached to the underside of the embroidery base fabric. A nonwoven adhesive interlining mainly made of polyester was layered as a backing fabric, and the embroidery frame was set in an embroidery frame. As in Example 1, using the embroidery sewing machine Beat101 manufactured by Parudan, a Tanka poem consisting of 8150 stitches was embroidered at a speed of 600 stitches per minute. The sewing thread used was rayon thread, and five colors in the green family were used, and the colors were arranged to match the strength and weakness of the calligraphy. The sewing machine thread composition is 12 (jD/1x2). After embroidery processing,
In the same manner as in Example 1, the backing fabric side was pressed with an iron at a temperature of 140° C., the heat-fusible nylon resin was melted, and the embroidery base fabric and the backing fabric were bonded and integrated.

The embroidered characters have a three-dimensional effect as in Example 1, and the needle holes at the embroidery edges are covered with napped fibers.

Moreover, the embroidery stitches appeared to be floating between the napped fibers, and there was no reed or paste-like appearance, and the quality was extremely high.

Furthermore, the surrounding area of the embroidery has a setting effect created by ultra-fine fibers, creating a deep and natural expanse, so the embroidered letters are pushed to the front and have a three-dimensional effect. Furthermore, the color scheme of the embroidered letters enhances the three-dimensional effect. Furthermore, it is preferable to use the produced embroidery product on the back decoration of a doll case or the back of a decorative shelf to create a calm and elegant atmosphere.
