Description

REINFORCED BASE THEORY FOR A SHIRT NECK OR AN ANALOGUE PIECE The invention relates to reinforced basic fabrics, for shirt collars or similar parts; the application of. such, base fabrics, reinforced to a shirt collar or similar piece and, finally, to a method for producing such collars.

Fabric necks are already known, such as shirt collars, blouse collars or equivalent pieces, which include a tarpaulin.

The references include, for example, documents FR-A-2 570 577 and FR-A-2-609 873.

Conventionally, the tarps or pieces for reinforcing shirt collars are made of polyester, both woven and non-woven.

However, existing collars have a disadvantage in that the dimensional stability of the neck can not be perfectly ensured over time. In fact, after repeated washes of the shirt. and, therefore, of the neck, the stability provided by the reinforcing canvas of the neck deteriorates, leading to a modification of the measurement of the neck, which is particularly inconvenient. The measurement loss of the neck can be 1.5 or even 2.5 cm, if not more.

The reinforcement parts for the localized stiffener of fabrics (see FR-A-2 531 616), fusible canvas (see FR-A2 462 456) and, finally, fuse links in the form of woven weft fabrics (see FR-A-2 710 078) are also known in the art.

The chemical treatments of the base fabrics, which try to confer or improve the properties of resistance to wrinkles, are also known (see FR-A-2 727 136).

The problem at the root of the invention is to ensure the dimensional stability of a collar, or one. equivalent piece, considering, the regular maintenance of this garment, including repeated washing and ironing.

With this purpose, the invention implements a basic reinforcement fabric for shirt collars, or equivalent piece, in the form of a woven weft fabric comprising an insertion of reinforced and stabilizing strands, which extend in the direction of the weft. , between the crosses.

According to the invention, the reinforcing and stabilizing strands are rectilinear or substantially rectilinear and free, or substantially free, of crimping tension. These reinforcing and stabilizing strands are stabilized by heat.

Such reinforcing base fabric could also include an inserted, non-woven layer.

The reinforcing base fabric may also comprise an adhesive or fusible material, intended to ensure its subsequent association with the neck. Reinforcing and stabilizing strands consist of filaments or synthetic fibers.

According to another aspect, the invention relates to the application of such reinforcing base fabric to a sleeve collar or similar piece, as to improve its dimensional stability over time, particularly following repeated washing and ironing.

The dimensional stability of the neck can be improved in the longest direction, for example, the measurement of the neck of the user, or alternatively in the direction perpendicular to it.

According to a third aspect, the invention relates to a collar or equivalent piece, including one. or more piece of tea and cloth, reinforcing base associated with it, such as that described above.

The reinforcing base fabric can act as a canvas per se, or it can reinforce a canvas itself associated with the neck pieces.

The reinforcing base fabric, acting as canvas per se, includes a layer of adhesive or fusible material, to ensure its association with the neck pieces.

In the case where the reinforcing base fabric acts as a reinforcing tarpaulin, the reinforcement base fabric is associated with the tarpaulin, by thermal welding, simultaneously with the thermofusion of the tarpaulin.

Such a canvas is made of cotton or equivalent.

According to a first embodiment, the reinforcing and stabilizing strands of the reinforcing base fabric are arranged in the greater direction of the neck, for example, the measurement of the user's neck. In this case, the weft of the reinforcing base fabric extends in the direction of measurement of the wearer's neck.

According to a second embodiment, the reinforcing and stabilizing strands are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the greater direction of the neck. In this case, the weft of the reinforcing base fabric extends in a direction perpendicular to the measurement of the user's neck.

A neck as described above may include two pieces of fabric, upper and lower, respectively, assembled together, with the reinforcing base fabric inserted therebetween.

According to a fourth and final aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for manufacturing a neck as the aforementioned, which includes a step consisting in associating a reinforcing base fabric, such as that described above, with the pieces of fabric of the neck.

According to a first alternative embodiment, the reinforcing base fabric is associated with the pieces of fabric of the neck.

According to a second possible alternative embodiment, the reinforcing base fabric is first associated with a canvas and the canvas thus reinforced is then associated with the pieces of fabric forming the neck.

The additional features and advantages of the invention will be better understood by reading the following description, which is provided as an illustrative basis and with reference to the drawings included, in which: Figures 1 and 2 are schematic front views of two embodiments of the reinforcing base fabric, according to the invention; Figures 3 and 4 are two schematic front views, in a horizontal position, of a shirt collar or equivalent piece, including a reinforcing base fabric, as shown in Figure 1; Figures 5 and 6 are two schematic front views, in a horizontal position, of a shirt collar or equivalent piece, including a reinforcement fabric, as shown in Figure 2; Figure 7 is - an-in-view. partial * along line IV-IV of Figure 3.

The_. cloth_. base, reinforcer. 1 ^ - according- to. the invention consists of a woven weft fabric 2, comprising yarns of. warp 3-strands of. Weft - The woven weft fabric 2 further comprises reinforcing and stabilizing strands-5 ^ extending in. the direction of the warp between the crosses of the woven fabric 2 (Figures L and 2). Woven weft fabrics are known per se and will not be described in greater detail here.

The reinforcing strands, and stabilizers. 5 are arranged in each space between two adjacent intersections, or only in certain spaces, leaving the other spaces free of strand 5.

This provision is determined from. according to the reinforcing and stabilizing qualities in accordance with the base cloth 1 and the objectives of the specific application desired.

Simi larly, - the reinforced strands. and stabilizers 5 may be arranged in a regular or irregular manner, depending on the regions considered, the reinforcing and stabilizing strands themselves may be homogeneous or non-homogeneous in various regions of the base fabric.

For example, it is possible for the woven fabric to include strands 5 in each space between two adjacent intersections in certain regions and for the strands 5 to be, in certain spaces in other regions.

To completely fill its reinforcing function and, mainly, its stabilizing function, the strands 5 are arranged in a rectilinear form and are free, or substantially free, of curling tension.

This characteristic is obtained due to the fact that the strands 5 do not participate in the actual stitches and are not formed by the crossing of the threads of the warp 3 and the threads of the weft 4 of the woven fabric 2.

To increase the reinforcing qualities, the strands 5 themselves are stabilized by heat. This quality is obtained, preferably, without. add .una. Synthetic or chemical stabilizing resin. ' The strands 5 that can be used consist, for example, of filaments or synthetic fibers.

The dimensional stability of the strands 5, in the longitudinal direction, produces the stability of the base fabric 1 in the direction of the warp. This dimensional stability makes it possible to increase the dimensional stability of the neck of the sleeve or of an analogous part 6.

According to a possible embodiment, the base fabric 1 includes a fusible or adhesive material to ensure the subsequent association of the base fabric 1 with the collar 6, or possibly with an additional base fabric, such as a tarpaulin.

Depending on the implementation considered, the adhesive or fusible material can be arranged on only one side of the base fabric 1, or on both sides. This material can be arranged in a continuous layer or in points.

The methods that make it possible to arrange a fusible or adhesive material on a textile substrate are known per se and will not be described here. According to another possible embodiment, the base fabric 1 also includes an inserted, non-woven layer. Such a non-woven layer makes it possible to give the neck or analogous piece 6 a certain volume.

A base fabric 1, such as the one described, is particularly intended for a collar or similar piece 6, to improve its dimensional stability over time, after repeated washing and ironing.

In the embodiment shown, the neck 6 includes two pieces, the upper 7 and the lower 8, respectively, associated with each other and, between them, at least one base fabric 1 is inserted (Figure 7).

The pieces 7 and 8 are cut so that they comprise a part 9, called the neck band, intended to be associated adjacent to the main part of the garment and a wing 10.

The two parts 7, 8 are associated with one another, both by peripheral stitching and by thermofusion.

According to a first alternative embodiment, the desired dimensional stability corresponds to that of the largest direction of this piece, indicated as D in Figure 3, for example, in this case, the measurement of the neck of the user.

To ensure this stabilizing function, the base fabric 1 is arranged in the part 6, with the strands 5 arranged in the direction to be stabilized, for example, in the direction D. To allow a better understanding of the invention, in Figure 1 shows the base cloth 1 in position in which it will be associated with the collar of the shirt of Figure 3.

In the case of the application considered - shirt collar or equivalent - the strands 5 are arranged in the neck direction corresponding to the measurement of the user's neck.

According to a second embodiment, the desired dimensional stability corresponds to the direction perpendicular to the largest dimension of the neck (Figure 5).

In this case, to ensure its stabilizing function, the base fabric 1 is associated with the neck 6 in the position shown in Figure 2: the base fabric 1 is arranged in the piece 6 with the strands 5 arranged in the direction to be stabilized, in this case, the direction perpendicular to the address D.

According to the first possible modality, the base fabric acts as a canvas (Figures 3 and 5). In this case, the base fabric includes the cover of adhesive or fusible material.

According to another possible embodiment (Figures 4 and 6), the base fabric 1 is associated with the canvas 11, which in turn is associated with the pieces 7, 8.

In the latter case, the base cloth 1 is associated with the canvas 11 by thermal adhesion.

Such a canvas 11 can be made conventionally of cotton or equivalent.

Alternatively, the base fabric 1 can be applied as a reinforcement in a first layer of the same base fabric 1, attached to the neck fabric.

The method for achieving a neck such as that described above includes the step of associating a base fabric 1 with the pieces 7, 8.

Depending on the modality considered, the base fabric 1 is directly associated with the pieces 7, 8, or is directly associated directly with the canvas 11 which, thus reinforced, is then associated with the pieces 7, 8.
