Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a fabric for body friction. More specifically, the present invention relates to a body friction fabric made by weaving a relatively coarsely woven fabric with a chenille braided yarn having fluffy portions made of at least one type of coarse and hard fiber in the weft direction.

(Prior Art) Towels have been commonly referred to as bath cloths and have been closely related to our daily lives since ancient times. As for textiles, hand-woven, Nanako-ori, and Masu-ori textiles such as cotton and linen are often used.
When we talk about ordinary terry cloth, we are referring to bath cloth that is woven with loops on one or both sides, and is mainly woven with cotton threads in the warp.

Also, since ancient times, it has been called akasuri cloth or simply akasuri, and it has been used to scrub off dirt from the skin during bathing.
One that uses pumice, etc. is well known.

In recent years, the above-mentioned scouring cloths or bath shaving cloths made of polyamide synthetic fiber materials with relatively coarse mesh and high breathability have become widespread, and in today's health-oriented world, they are used not only for washing but also for moderate stimulation. It is said that it is used a lot in people's skin because it improves blood circulation by giving it to the skin, and it also has effects such as pine surge.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In the case of bath towels or scrubs made of the above-mentioned polyamide-based synthetic fiber materials, due to the properties of the semi-rigid constituent materials, they do not touch the skin as expected with ordinary cotton towels, etc. Provides friction and stimulation. on the other hand,
Nowadays, the trend towards natural fibers has become a hot topic, and there is also a strong need for the unique feel, friction, etc. of coarse, hard fibers such as conventional hemp fibers.

For this reason, scratch cloths made of woven or knitted fabrics such as hemp fibers have also been proposed. However, these woven and knitted fabrics are used as base fabrics to rub the back, etc.
When stimulating, the side portions of each constituent fiber come into contact with the skin, causing friction and irritation in some areas, such as the back.
It cannot be denied that the stimulation is weak and insufficient.

For this reason, the present invention was published in Utility Model Application No. 60-198959, using a crushed pile of loofah fibers to create a loofah fiber-embedded towel that gave the feel of a loofah fiber material. In addition to towels, Japanese Patent Application No. 76067/1983 proposes plant fiber flocked fabrics and methods for producing the same, which provide friction or stimulation such as a pine surge effect that improves blood circulation. However, when used for body friction, even stronger friction or stimulation may be required depending on the location, such as the back, and such needs are high.

On the other hand, the friction and contact action at the cut end of hard fibers such as everyday scrubbing brushes may be too strong against the skin, and may even cause irritation to the skin. In addition, the lathering properties of soaps, etc. are inferior, making them difficult to use.
Improvements were desired.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention was arrived at as a result of various studies in view of the above-mentioned difficulties in the conventional art. Incorporating a chenille thread-like braided yarn having a fluffy part made of coarse and hard fibers such as sisal, and protruding or lying down from both the front and back surfaces of the fabric, the cut edge part or side wall part of the fluffy part alone. Alternatively, it has been found that a combined frictional and stimulating effect can be obtained, and that the respective textures and textures of various fibers can be obtained as a fabric for body friction.

The present invention incorporates a chenille thread-like braided thread having a fluffy part made of at least one type of coarse hard fiber in the weft direction of a fabric woven with warp and weft threads such as cotton threads in a relatively coarse texture. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a fabric for body friction. Another object of the present invention is to industrially and easily obtain a body friction fabric that improves blood circulation in the skin and is excellent in pine surge effect and soap content.

(Embodiment and operation of the invention) An embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of the structure of the friction fabric according to the present invention, and FIGS. 2a, 2b, and 2c are explanatory views of the structure of the chenille thread-like braid according to the present invention.

In the figure, the fabric body 1 for body friction according to the present invention is woven by arranging and warping warp yarns 2 made of water-absorbing cotton threads, and organizing weft yarns 3 to form a texture 4 of the fabric body 1. It has a general structure in which chenille braided threads 5 having fluffy portions 8 as shown in FIGS. 2a, 2b, and 2c are inserted at appropriate intervals in the weft direction and are woven into a plain weave.

The above-mentioned chenille thread-like braided thread 5 according to the present invention is produced by the conventional method of manufacturing mall thread or chenille thread.
A core thread 7 is arranged in advance as a warp thread, and the weft direction of the plain weave fabric with gaps in the warp direction around the core thread 7 is composed of at least one kind of natural vegetable fibers such as jute 10 and sisal 11. The coarse hard fibers were inserted and cut in the warp direction at the midpoint of this gap, and the fiber bundles 6 in the weft direction, which were cut to a desired length by the core thread 7, were strung together in a series in the transverse direction. A braid having a chenille thread-like form is formed. Furthermore, it is also possible to form a thick braided yarn by applying single twist using a mall machine.

In this case, the focusing body 6 includes only the jute 11 as shown in FIG. 2a, and the jute 11 as shown in FIG. 2b.
and sisal 12 or juute 11
and sisal linen 12 and rayon thread 13, etc.
It can be formed from various fibers alone or mixed in appropriate proportions, and depending on the purpose, method of use, etc., for example, juute 20, sisal 2
0 and rayon thread 60.

As described above, the chenille yarn-like braided yarn 5 according to the present invention can be obtained by the same method as the conventional warped wooden molding or chenille yarn, but the fibers constituting the bundle 6 are made of coarse and hard plants such as sisal. In the case of fibers, it is difficult to cut them using a blade or the like, but they can be cut into desired lengths by using a hard cutting machine or the like.

In addition, well-known chenille yarns, fabrics, mall yarns, fabrics, etc. are required to have characteristics in their structure and appearance.
The fabric according to the present invention is required to prevent the fibers from falling off from the bundle 6 constituting the chenille braided yarn 5 even for use in body friction. For this reason, it is necessary to prevent the fibers constituting the chenille braided yarn 5 from slipping out, or to restrain the fibers with the core yarn 7 so that they do not fall off. It is also possible to apply any other fixing method.

The chenille thread-like braid 5 according to the present invention is made in this way, but when it is finished, the constituting bundle 6 of various fibers can be used to bundle straw, palm, etc. for scrubbing utensils. It has the appearance of a series of bundlers connected at appropriate intervals, and has a configuration in which the central portion of the bundle 6 is held between the core threads 7. Therefore, when the braided yarn 5 is driven in the weft direction of the fabric main body 1, the bundle 6 constituting the braided yarn 5 is surrounded by the bundle 6 on the linear axis of the braided yarn 5 with its central portion being held. The cut end surface part 9 and the side wall part 10 which spread irregularly radially outward and constitute the fluffy part 8 of the bundle 6 over both the front and back surfaces of the body friction fabric main body 1.
is formed as a protruding or collapsed state.

In addition, in the present invention, chenille thread-like braided yarn 5
In the same way as with conventional chenille fabrics, the patterns and designs appear exactly the same on both the front and back sides of the plain weave fabric, unlike when printing, etc. In this case, the cut end surface portion 9 and the side wall portion 10 of the bundle 6 constituting the fluffy portion 8 of the braided yarn 5 appear in substantially the same state on both the front and back surfaces of the fabric body 1. Therefore, when friction and stimulation are applied to the body by both cut end portions 9 and side wall portions 10 of the bundle of various fibers 6, which are formed in almost the same way on both the front and back surfaces, conventional This imparts the unique texture and frictional feel of coarse, hard fibers such as natural vegetable fibers, which have never been seen before.

In this manner, in the body friction fabric according to the present invention, both ends of the bundle 6 of various fibers constituting the chenille braided thread 5 that are driven in the weft direction are directed outward in substantially the same way on both the front and back sides. Since it appears as a protruding or collapsed state, it is characterized in that a combined friction and stimulation effect of the protruding cut surface end 9 of the bundle body 6 and/or the side wall part 10 in the collapsed state is imparted, and it has such a configuration. A body chafing fabric can be obtained.

Geography 4 of body friction fabric body 1 according to the present invention
It is suitable to use cotton yarn, which is highly water-absorbing and breathable, and hemp yarn, polyester yarn, and blended yarns thereof can also be used. Furthermore, in the case of applications such as towels, it is appropriate that the texture 4 has a coarse structure such as dobby weave. The braided yarn 5, which is made up of bundles 6 of coarse and hard fibers such as jute and sisal, which are driven in the weft direction, is floated and submerged in the weft direction at appropriate intervals to form a texture on both the front and back sides. Similarly, the cut end surface portion 9 or the side wall portion 10 of the bundle 6 of these fibers is formed in a laid-down state, and it is possible to impart the feel and feel of rough and hard natural fibers, etc. If necessary, the rayon thread or the like can be used in the bundle. By mixing it into the body 6, it is possible to adjust the roughness and hardness appropriately, and the roughness and stiffness of daily necessities like bundles is alleviated, and appropriate friction and irritation to the skin can be provided.

In the present invention, the fibers forming the bundle 6 can be either natural fibers or synthetic fibers, but suitable natural fibers include hard or soft vegetable fibers with coarse hardness, such as sisal hemp, manila hemp, etc. Leaf fibers such as juute, flax, ramie, hemp and other bast fibers, and palm and other fruit fibers are used. Further, a mixture of at least one of these can be used, and the fibers constituting the bundle 6 can be configured to have an appropriate mixing ratio as described above. The fiber length L of the fibers constituting the bundle 6 is suitably 4 mm to 20 mm.

(Effects of the invention) According to the invention, a chenille thread-like braided yarn having a fluffy part in which bundles made of coarse and hard vegetable fibers are connected in the lateral direction is woven in the weft direction of a coarse fabric, so that the front and back sides are almost the same. As the cut end of the bundle is made to protrude outward or to be raised in a collapsed state, it is possible to create friction with the rough hardness and flexibility of natural plant fibers, etc., which have never been seen before. , you can get stimulation. This improves the blood circulation of the skin and can be expected to have a pine surge effect.It not only functions as a conventional bath towel, but also has a striped pattern with the chenille thread braiding that gives it a rough and hard feel. It is easy to use and has an excellent effect on ingredients such as soap, making it suitable as a fabric for body friction.
