Description

Abrasion resistant fabric Field of invention

The present invention relates to woven fabrics comprising high performance fibers and natural fibers. The invention also relates to the use of the fabric and to the use of articles comprising the fabric, such as clothing, sportswear, gloves, curtains, upholstery fabrics, floor coverings, and other such fabrics.

Background of the invention

Such fabrics are known from US 2007/0249250. US 2007/0249250 discloses a fabric comprising a weft yarn made of a cellulosic material and a warp yarn produced from a high performance fiber, at least 75% of which is covered by a covering comprising natural fibers. The fabric has a concentration gradient of the warp yarns in the thickness of the fabric, consisting of an outer portion that is primarily warp yarns and an inner portion that is primarily the weft yarn. The fabric according to US 2007/0249250 has good mechanical properties, in particular resistance to fire and to friction, but is also comfortable for wearing. US 2010/0075557 A1 discloses a woven fabric having a first surface and a second surface, the fabric comprising three warp threads which are interlaced with weft fibers. The first warp fibers may be aesthetic fibers, for example, natural fibers, cotton, wool, enamel, poly Melamine fibers, high modulus fibers; the second warp yarns may be performance fibers, for example, high molecular weight polyethylene, guanamine fibers, carbon fibers, fiberglass; the third fibers include those that provide comfort properties, such as cotton,嫘萦, wool, polyester, nylon. The weft yarns may be stretchable fibers and include Lycra® fibers, Spandex® fibers, Kevlar® fibers, high modulus polyethylene, wool, enamel, nylon wheels, and modified modeacrylic fibers.

However, prior art fabrics are difficult and expensive to manufacture because the warp yarns comprise a high performance fiber core and a spiral wrap (e.g., cotton) covering at least 75% of the surface of the core. The manufacture of such warp yarns is a labor intensive and expensive process. In addition, the covered yarn is less robust in use and exhibits loss of displacement or integrity of the spiral package, resulting in uneven appearance of the yarn and handling difficulties, resulting in lost production or reduced quality of the fabric.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a woven fabric that eliminates the above mentioned disadvantages and, in particular, is less susceptible to manufacturing loss or reduced quality while maintaining the wearing comfort of the fabric. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a woven fabric that can be manufactured from yarns that are more readily available due to less labor intensive and reduced manufacturing costs. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a fabric having improved friction characteristics and wearing comfort, or having an optimum balance between friction characteristics and wearing comfort, wherein the fabric is at a reduced cost and Manufacturing method complexity.

Summary of invention

Detailed description of the preferred embodiment

Warp yarns are here understood to be a large number of yarns having the same composition, and thus may be referred to as a warp system. Each warp yarn runs substantially longitudinally in the machine direction of the fabric. The fabric of the present invention has at least two warp yarns which are distinguished by the mutual position in the fabric. Such location within the fabric can be achieved by methods well known in the art. For example, the plurality of warp yarns may be supplied to the weaving method through the warp beam per warp beam, but may also be organized via a warp yarn having different warp yarns adjacent to each other. Provided by a shaft. The use of separate warp beams for different warp yarns can have the advantages of increased flexibility and improved weaving control. The placement of the warp yarns in the fabric is here understood to be the association of the relative position of the warp yarns A and the warp yarns B with the thickness of the fabric. In this regard, a fabric can be considered a three-dimensional article in which one dimension (thickness) is much smaller than the other two dimensions (length or warp direction and width or weft direction). In general, the length direction is limited only by the length of the warp yarns, and the width of a fabric is primarily limited by the number of individual warp yarns and the width of the weaving machine used. The position of the two warp yarns is defined by their position within the thickness of the fabric, and the thickness is bounded by an outer and an inner surface. "External" and "internal" are understood herein to mean that the fabric contains two distinguishable surfaces. The terms "external" and "internal" are not to be understood as a limiting feature, but rather to distinguish between the two different surfaces. In many applications of the fabric, the outer surface can be oriented toward the outer environment, and the inner surface can be oriented toward the body to be protected from, for example, rubbing. While this orientation may be preferred, the surfaces may also face in opposite directions for a particular use, or the fabric may be folded to form a double layer fabric having the same surface exposed to both sides while the other surfaces are oriented inwardly. each other.

Thus, an outer and inner layer is defined by the thickness of the fabric, wherein the outer layer comprises the outer surface and the inner layer comprises the inner surface. A layer is defined as a volume that extends substantially parallel to the opposing fabric layers and that has a thickness of 50% or less of the total thickness of the fabric.

In the context of the present application, the layer comprising the warp yarn A can be considered as the outer layer, and the layer comprising the warp yarn B can be considered as the inner portion. Floor.

The weft yarn is generally indicated as a yarn running in a cross direction transverse to the machine direction of the fabric. By a weaving sequence of the fabric, each weft yarn is repeatedly passed between two adjacent warp yarns, between the sides of the plane formed by the opposing warp yarns A or B, and each of which causes Interlacing or interconnecting between the warp yarns and the inner layer comprising the warp layers. The angle formed between the warp yarns and the weft yarn is preferably about 90°. The fabric may comprise a single weft yarn or a plurality of weft yarns having different compositions. The weft yarn in the fabric according to the invention may be a single weft yarn or a plurality of weft yarns. In the case where the fabric comprises a plurality of weft yarns, the yarns may have the same or different compositions.

The woven structure formed from the warp yarns and the weft yarns may be of a plurality of types depending on the number of warp and weft yarns used and the weaving sequence between the warp yarns and the weft yarns during the weaving process. . These different sequences are well known to those skilled in the art. By this weaving method, the weft yarns interlace the up to two warp yarns, A and B, thereby partially interconnecting the outer and inner layers each comprising the warp yarns A and B. This interwoven structure may also be referred to as a single layer fabric, even though the single layer may be composed of sublayers as described above.

Considering a woven structure comprising at most two warp yarns and a weft yarn can result in a rather complicated weave, which can be present for fabrics such as plain, twill and satin, once the interlacing characteristics through the weft yarn are neglected. Weaving, as well as other more complicated weaving. Thereby, the advantage of the woven structure of the fabric of the present invention is that the two surfaces of the fabric may have distinguishable or identical woven structures that are independently selected from the other surface. The woven structure is not possible for a fabric composed of only one warp yarn and one weft yarn.

A woven structure is typically characterized by a float, the length of the embossment, and the ratio of embossing. A portion of the embossed weft yarn is delimited by two consecutive points at which the weft yarns are interlaced by the virtual plane formed by the opposing warp yarns A or B. The length of the float represents the number of warp yarns between the two delimiting points through the float. Typically, the length of the embossing can be 1, 2 or 3, meaning that by passing between two adjacent warp yarns, the weft yarn passes through 1, 2 or 3 warp yarns before intersecting with the virtual plane formed by the warp yarns. The embossing ratio is the ratio of the weft yarns to the lengths of the woven fabrics on both sides of the woven plane formed by the warp yarns. Preferably, the woven structure of the outer layer has a embossing ratio of 3/1, 2/1 or 1/1, and optimally the embossing ratio is 3/1, resulting in a denim of the outer layer (Jeans )Exterior. The woven structure for the inner layer can be independently selected from the outer layer and optimized to improve friction resistance or wearing comfort. Depending on the warp yarn B and the composition of the weft yarn, the woven structure of the inner layer has a embossing ratio of 3/1, 2/1 or 1/1, and the embossing ratio is preferably 1/1.

"At least partially interconnected" means here that a weft yarn is preferably at most 4:1 by the ratio of the number of imaginary planes formed by the warp yarn A to the number of imaginary planes formed by the warp yarn B. Up to 3:1, better at most 2:1, and the best is at most 1:1. "At least partially interconnected" is also used interchangeably to mean "interconnect".

"Fiber" is herein understood to be an elongate body having a length, a width and a thickness which is much larger than the transverse dimension of its width and thickness. The term fiber also includes various embodiments, such as a filament Filament, ribbon, strip, tape, tape, and the like having a regular or irregular cross section. The fibers may have a continuous length, known in the art as filaments, or discontinuous lengths, known in the art as staple fibers. Natural fibers are usually short fibers but synthetic short fibers are commonly obtained by cutting or tensile fracture of long fibers of corresponding synthetic fibers. The fibers can have various cross-sections, for example, having a regular or irregular cross-section of a circle, a bean, an ellipse or a rectangle. The yarn used in the present invention is an elongated body comprising a plurality of fibers. Those skilled in the art will be able to distinguish between continuous filament yarns or spun yarns (also known as staple fibers) comprising a plurality of continuous long fibers and staple fibers or comprising shorter fibers.

Preferably, the warp yarn A comprises between 0.5 and 50% by weight of high performance fibers, more preferably between 1 and 20% by weight, even more preferably between 2 and 10% by weight of high performance fibers. A low amount of high performance fibers present in the warp yarn A improves the frictional resistance of the fabric of the present invention.

In a further embodiment, the high performance fiber present in warp yarn A is selected from the group consisting of high performance fibers of polyarmine fiber and polyolefin, preferably polyethylene and the most preferred UHMWPE fiber. It has been observed that when the woven warp yarn A comprises high-performance fibers, in particular high-performance aromatic polyamide or polyolefin fibers, more particularly poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) or super high Molecular weight polyethylene fibers, the weave has further improved friction resistance.

In a further preferred embodiment, the fabric of the present invention comprises warp yarn B comprising UHMWPE and weft yarns comprising aromatic polyamide fibers. It has surprisingly been found that this particular combination of high performance fibers in the individual weft yarns and warp yarns gives a balance between improved or optimized wearing comfort and frictional resistance of the fabric. Preferably, in this embodiment, the warp yarn A consists essentially of natural fibers, preferably cotton.

The fabric according to the present invention preferably comprises the warp yarn A consisting essentially of cotton, a warp yarn B consisting of a spun yarn and consisting essentially of UHMWPE staple fibers, and a weft yarn consisting essentially of continuous UHMWPE long fibers.

The yarns present in the fabric may each independently comprise at least one additive selected from the group consisting of pigments, dyes, flame retardants, antioxidants, and/or combinations thereof. As is often practiced in the art, in addition to the materials and technology options described above, such additives can be used to overcome the deficiencies of the woven fabric. Such additives can be used, for example, The impregnation or coating of the fibers, yarns or fabrics at different stages of the synthesis process is applied to the fabric, and to the synthetic fibers, etc., in the synthesis thereof. Such additives are well known in the art. Those skilled in the art can easily select any suitable combination of additives and additive levels without undue experimentation. The amount of the additive depends on its type and function. Typically, the content will be from 0 to 20% by weight based on the total composition of the fabric.
