Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an instrument for removing pilling and the like generated on the surface of textile products during use.

Recently, the proportion of synthetic fiber products in textile products has been gradually increasing, but among them, fiber products made of polyester fibers and acrylic fibers are particularly prone to pilling, and their usage range is However, the reality is that no fundamental countermeasure has yet been established.

In addition, when it comes to pilling or pilling in textile products, even if the fiber material is the same, the occurrence of pilling differs depending on the place where it is worn or used, and the purpose of use has a large effect.

As described above, the performance disadvantages of various fibers and various problems in use have not yet been resolved, and therefore, efforts are being made to improve various fibers from the raw cotton to the product process. Measures taken at the stage of actual product use play an important role in maintaining the product's appearance and functionality.

On the other hand, when it comes to textile products, the occurrence of pilling reveals an unsightly appearance, and can even make it impossible to use the product, especially when worn for going out. Also, blankets,
When this occurs with textile products that come in direct contact with people's skin, such as futon sheets or underwear, the unsightly appearance of the product can significantly impede the feel of the textile product itself. The product value will drop significantly. Furthermore, the occurrence of pilling or pilling on the surface of the fabric is often unexpected when the product is new at the time of purchase, and when it occurs during use, it can cause deterioration in appearance. If this occurs relatively early on, it may disappoint consumers' expectations for the product and lead to a loss of trust in the product.

For this reason, conventional methods have been proposed in which the pilling generated on the surface of the fiber fabric is removed using a wire brush or the like, and a method in which this is partly mechanized. However, although all of these methods are aimed at removing pilling, they can significantly damage the product being treated, and the surface of the fabric varies depending on the blend of various fibers, purpose, and usage conditions, so it is necessary to take appropriate measures. was extremely difficult.

The inventors of the present invention arrived at the present invention as a result of intensive study on the above-mentioned drawbacks and problems.

As a result of considering the generation and disappearance process of pilling or pilling that occurs on the surface of the fabric, the inventors of the present invention found that the degree of damage to the fabric surface is small and that it is effective in removing pilling or pilling without difficulty. It was found that a hand-operated instrument with a hook member having an appropriate structure is suitable. and,
The effect of mere hooking not only damages the fabric, but also makes it impossible to process it in a way that is appropriate for each target product.Also, regarding the structure of the hooking member,
The gap between the blades is important, and it was found that a manual instrument having a blade that can perform a combing action, such as combing hair when using the blade, is suitable. That is, the upper part thereof is appropriately inclined, and the digging corner part and the root part of the pill etc. are inclined in the opposite direction to the digging corner part, and the extrusion corner part of the pill etc. A hand-operated instrument having a structure in which a curved blade body consisting of single blade pieces each having a comb section are continuously formed at equal or irregular intervals as appropriate, and is attached near the tip of a grip handle that can be easily grasped with one hand. be.

The present invention provides a pill removal tool that can easily remove pilling or pilling that impairs the value of textile products.

The structure of the pill remover according to the present invention will be explained based on the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the pill remover main body 1 has a gap 3, and
It consists of a blade 2 having a curved part 5 near the tip, and a grip handle 4 for attaching the blade 2, and the blade 2 has a tip that is flush with or slightly protrudes from the tip of the grip handle 4. In this state, it has a general configuration in which it is placed at the tip of the grip handle 4 and fixedly attached as one piece.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the blade body 2 has a gap 3, and has a curved portion 5 on the back side thereof, and when forming the blade body 2, , the blade piece 2a shown in FIGS. 2 and 5
This is done by arranging a large number of blades 2a in parallel and fitting the retaining plate 9 thereto to integrate the blade pieces 2a. That is, the blade piece 2a has a thinner wall thickness on the front side thereof, so that the stepped portion 7 is formed on the front side. The part has a circular arc part 8 directed toward the tip, and the lower part thereof has a curved part 5. Moreover, the upper part of the base part 10 of the blade piece 2a has a holding part. Board 9
A tapered notch 11 shaped to fit
The structure has been formed. Therefore, by arranging the blade pieces 2a so that the side surfaces of the base portions 10 of the blade pieces 2a are in contact with each other, and fitting the retaining plate 9 into the notch 11, the blade body 2 is formed as one piece. In this case, a gap 3 corresponding to the stepped portion 7 is formed at the tip of the blade 2.

As mentioned above, the blade 2 has a gap 3 at its tip, but the width of the gap 3 depends on the type of fabric from which pilling is to be removed. For example, for fabrics such as sheets, it is desirable to set the gap to around 0.1 mm, and for women's clothing such as rashers or flannel, the gap should be set to 0.2 mm. It is desirable that the gap be between 0.3mm and 0.4-0.5mm for blankets etc.
Experimental results showed that it is desirable to set it to about mm.

Regarding the shape of the tip of the blade body 2, the one shown in FIG. It is suitable for removing pilling that occurs, and what is shown in FIG. suitable for.

The grip handle 4 is as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3,
It is formed in a shape similar to the plectrum of a shamisen, and its corners are rounded, and when holding the grip handle 4 and pulling it toward you, the back side of the blade 2 against the fabric Angle is 50 degrees to 60 degrees
The tip is shaped diagonally downward so that the angle is about 100 degrees.

Although the blade body 2 and the grip handle 4 are constructed as described above, their attachment is performed as shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4.

That is, the grip handle 4 is formed by molding a synthetic resin with a mold. During the molding, the blade 2 is placed in advance at the end position within the cavity of the mold, and then, This is done by injecting synthetic resin, and as a result, the blade body 2 is fixedly attached to the grip handle 4 as one piece. The attachment position of the blade 2 to the grip handle 4 at the time of installation is such that the tip of the blade 2 and the tips of the corner parts 12 of the handle 4 are flush with each other, or Set the part so that it is slightly more protruding than that.

In order to use the pill remover main body 1 according to the present invention, hold the constriction of the handle 4 with your hand so that the back of the blade (curved part) of the blade 2 is 50° against the cloth to be treated. The action is to pull it toward you so that the angle is between 60 degrees and 60 degrees.

The pill remover main body 1 according to the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and can not only efficiently remove pilling or pilling that occurs in textile products, but also , uniforms, etc., chewing gum stuck to clothes, cigarette burn marks on carpets, etc., without damaging the fabric surface. These fabric surfaces can be properly tidyed up using a material. In other words, the pill remover according to the present invention has a blade having a curved part disposed at a lower position, and the upper part of the curved part has an appropriately inclined biting corner part and a root part with a biting angle. The hair is combed using a curved part in which blade pieces each having an extruded corner part inclined in the opposite direction to the other part and an arc-shaped comb part are continuously formed at equal or irregular intervals as appropriate. In this way, the comb performs a squeezing action to scoop up pilling, pilling, etc., and reliably bite it into the comb, thereby making it possible to remove it efficiently. Furthermore, if the tip of the blade is rounded, it is effective for removing pilling from sheets, etc., and damage to the fabric surface can be avoided. By appropriately selecting and using them, it is possible to maintain the appearance and functionality of textile products, which is extremely effective.
