Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a knitted fabric for clothing, and more specifically, to a knitted fabric for clothing that has excellent sweat absorption properties, does not cause discomfort when sweating, and can quickly wick away sweat. .

Traditionally, when wearing underwear or sports shirts and sweating a lot, clothing that absorbs sweat is preferred, and cotton materials are often used. This cotton material absorbs sweat well, but the entire knitted fabric gets wet and the skin side also contains a lot of sweat.When you stop exercising and sweating stops, the heat generated from the body stops, and the absorbed sweat cools down to below body temperature over time. When this happens, you feel cold and often experience discomfort. In addition, knitted fabrics using cotton yarn on the back side and synthetic fiber yarns on the front side are known from Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 32-11784, etc.; however, since such knitted fabrics use synthetic fiber yarns on the front side, Although the overall wetness of the fabric is less than in the case described above, the perspiration rate from the knitted fabric is slow, which has the same drawbacks as above.

The present invention solves these conventional drawbacks, and its purpose is to provide comfortable clothing that can quickly wick away sweat and alleviate discomfort. The aim is to provide knitted fabrics for clothing that can be used in clothing.

That is, in the present invention, a convex portion consisting of multiple stitches is formed on one side of the knitted fabric using hydrophobic fiber yarn with a single yarn fineness of 1.5 denier or less, and the surface of the stitches on the other side is made up of 50% hydrophilic fibers. The gist of the present invention is a knitted fabric for clothing characterized by being knitted so as to occupy the above.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained using illustrated examples.

Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the knitted fabric of the present invention. It is a knitting diagram showing the knitting positions of the cylinder and dial. Numbers 1 to 32 in Figure 1 are yarn feeder numbers.
This corresponds to the knit position of the cylinder, and H and L represent the high butt needle and low butt needle of the dial needle, respectively, and these knit positions are shown in correspondence with the yarn feeder number. This is what I did.

In a double circular knitting machine, hydrophilic fiber or hydrophobic fiber yarn is fed to the first feeder 1, and single yarn fineness is fed to the second feeder 2 and third feeder 3.
A hydrophobic fiber yarn of 1.5 denier or less is fed, and further a hydrophilic fiber yarn is fed to the fourth feeder 4 for knitting, and in the same way, the first feeder is fed to the fifth feeder 5 to the eighth feeder 8, respectively. Yarns corresponding to the first to fourth feeders 4 are fed and knitted.
At this time, the yarn fed to the first feeder 1 is knitted by the cylinder needle and the high butt needle H of the dial needle, and the yarn fed to the second feeder 2 and the third feeder 3 is knitted by the cylinder needle and the high butt needle H of the dial needle. The yarn is knitted only by the needles, and the yarn fed to the fourth feeder 4 is knitted by the low-butt needle L of the dial needle. Furthermore, the yarn fed to the fifth feeder 5 is fed by a cylinder needle and a low butt needle L.
The threads of the sixth feeder 6 and the seventh feeder 7 are knitted in the same way as the second feeder 2 and the third feeder 3, and the threads of the eighth feeder 8 are knitted with high butt needles H. Similarly, from the ninth feeder 9 to the sixteenth feeder 16, the yarn fed, the high butt needle H of the dial needle, and the low butt needle L are fed in the same way as the first feeder 1 to the eighth feeder 8 described above. It is sufficient to perform knitting and knit the knitting position of the cylinder needles as shown in FIG. In this way, a knitted fabric having the structure shown in FIG. 1 is formed.

FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view taken along the line XX' in FIG. 1. A convex portion a formed by a plurality of continuous stitches made of hydrophobic fiber yarn is formed on one side of the knitted fabric, and the plurality of stitches forming the convex portion a are made of hydrophobic fiber yarn or The hydrophilic fibers are connected to the other side c by the connecting stitches b made of hydrophobic fiber threads, which are knitted so as to occupy 50% or more of the surface of the stitches. The convex portions a are feeders 2, 3, 6, 7 and feeder 1 in FIG. 1, respectively.
8, 19, 22, 23, . . . Similarly, the connecting stitches b are formed from yarns fed to feeders 9, 13, . . ., feeders 25, 29, respectively. Further, the other surface c is formed of the yarns fed to the feeders 4, 5, 12, 13, . . . feeders 20, 21, 28, 29.

As a method for making the hydrophilic fiber yarn occupy 50% or more of the surface of the stitch c, as explained in FIG. 1 and the illustrated example in FIG.
5, 9, 13... are fed with hydrophilic fiber yarns or hydrophobic fiber yarns, and feeders 4, 8, 12, 16
If you feed hydrophilic fiber yarn to ..., it will be 50.
% or more of hydrophilic fibers can be formed. In addition, the yarn to be fed to all the yarn to be knitted with the dial needle is a yarn containing 50% or more of hydrophilic fibers, such as a cotton-polyester blend yarn (50% of cotton
(including the above), hydrophilic fibers can occupy 50% or more of the surface of stitch c.

Using the above-mentioned knitted fabric, clothing is made with the side with the convex part a inside, and when such clothing is worn, the convex part a comes into contact with the skin, and sweat droplets continue through the convex part a. The sweat is absorbed by the stitches b and the other surface c located on the surface of the clothing, and the sweat is diffused on the other surface c, resulting in increased sweat evaporation and quick drying.

In this invention, as the stitches of the convex part, a hydrophobic fiber yarn with a single filament fineness of 1.5 denier or less is used, and when worn so that it is on the skin side, sweat will be removed during sweating. It can give the effect that water droplets are drawn up by capillary phenomenon, and since the part that comes into contact with the skin has a convex knitted surface, there are fewer contact points between the knitted fabric and the skin, and the fabric becomes sticky due to sweat. I feel less. The use of hydrophobic fiber yarn as the yarn forming the convex portion is because
This is to prevent water droplets from being retained on the part that comes into contact with the skin surface. Furthermore, the reason why the single yarn fineness is set to 1.5 denier or less is as follows. The part that touches the skin is knitted so that it has a convex shape, so in order to make the contact with the skin soft, it is 1.5
It is necessary to have a single yarn fineness of denier or less, but if the single yarn fineness is thicker than 1.5 denier, it will give a rough feeling when it comes into contact with the skin, increase skin irritation, and may damage the skin that releases sweat. There is. In addition, in order to provide the effect of quickly absorbing sweat droplets, the single yarn fineness must be 1.5 denier or less.

On the other hand, the stitches forming the side opposite to the side where the convex portion is formed are knitted so that the hydrophilic fibers occupy 50% or more of the surface of the stitches. If the yarn appearing on the surface of this stitch contains 50% or more of hydrophilic fibers, the sweat absorbed from the part that comes into contact with the skin will be absorbed by the hydrophilic fibers appearing on the surface of the stitch, causing a diffusion phenomenon. I'll wake you up. If more than 50% of the threads appearing on the surface of the stitches are made up of hydrophilic fibers, the effect will be seen, but if the hydrophilic fibers appear on the stitches at a ratio of less than 50%, they will not come into contact with the skin. Sweat that is absorbed from the stitches by capillary action is not sufficiently absorbed by the threads appearing on the surface of the stitches, and the diffusion of sweat on the surface of the stitches is low.Furthermore, the more sweat that comes out of the skin, the less effective it is. Become.

Examples of hydrophobic fibers include long and short fibers of synthetic fibers such as nylon and polyester, and examples of hydrophilic fibers include natural fibers such as cotton and regenerated cellulose fibers such as rayon.

In addition, by applying a small amount of water-repellent resin to the convex part, the effect of reducing the adhesion of sweat on the part that comes into contact with the skin may be added. The water absorption performance may be increased by performing a process that imparts water absorption performance, such as mercerization.

The knitted fabric of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, so when clothing is made and worn from such a knitted fabric, when sweat is generated, the sweat passes through the stitches that are always in contact with the skin, and the hydrophilic fibers are absorbed. Sweat migrates to the surface of the knitted fabric, which accounts for more than 50% of the sweat, and the side of the knitted fabric that comes into contact with the skin is always dry, and the sweat on the surface of the knitted fabric dries quickly due to a diffusion phenomenon, causing intermittent Even when sweating, there is an advantage in that the coldness and discomfort caused by sweat are considerable.

Next, the present invention will be specifically explained using examples.
