Definitions

  • the invention applies to a woven, knitted or in other known way manu ⁇ factured cloth consisting of a textile skeleton and from it protruding pile or loops.
  • the cloth according to the Swedish laid open patent application No 451 426 has a crocheted skeleton made of artificial fibers and loops made of cotton thread at just one side.
  • the loops are located in more than one parallell rows with loop-free intermediate areas.
  • the aim of the intermediate loop-free areas are to make the cloth lighter, easier to handle and to increase its ability of sliding over the surfaces that are to be cleaned.
  • the cloth according to the Swedish laid open patent application No 431 158 is woven and has loops at both sides.
  • the layer of loops att the upper side is considerably tighter than at the lower side.
  • the inten ⁇ tion is that the cloth shall be used impregnated with a cleaning com ⁇ position at which the layer of loops at the upper side will serve as a reservoir for the cleaning composition.
  • This invention applies to a cleaning cloth intended to be used repea ⁇ tedly and consisting of a textile skeleton at one side provided with loops that kan be cut and form a pile.
  • loops will be used both for un-cut loops and pile.
  • the loops are located in more than one areas with loop-free intermediate areas.
  • the limits between the loop-covered and loop-free areas consist at least partly of curved lines, i.e. lines with a tangent which forms an along the cloth varying angle with the length-axis of the cloth.
  • curved lines is included the case where the lines bend in such a way that a more or less sharp angle is formed between the line branches.
  • the curved lines may have transversal waveform and limit parallell fields with constant width of loop-covered and not loop-covered areas. This is the most uncomplicated way of manufacturing.
  • Within the frame ⁇ work of the invention lies, however, to let the width of the fields vary and to let the limit lines of the fields consist of mixed wave ⁇ forms, where amplitude and/or wave length changes along the fields. Other possibilities are circles, helices etc.
  • Within the framework of the invention too is to let straight fields alternate with waveformed or in other ways curved fields.
  • a preferred use of the cloths according to the invention is as a cove ⁇ ring of mops and other similiar cleaning implements at which the cloth is arranged with the length-axis of the fields perpendicular to the pricipal direction of movement of the mop.
  • the coverings may be pre- oistened, eventually with simultaneous impregnation with a cleaning composition, moistened at the use or used dry for dusting off.
  • cloths according to the invention is as a hand or implement hold cloth for dusting and/or polishing eventually impregnated for increasing the dust sorption, antistat and/or po ⁇ lishing effect.
  • the loop-free fields form channels, which let the dirt distribute itself along the cloth. If the channels are principally perpendicular to the main direction of movement of the mop this redistribution is made impossible as the power that is caused by the friction of the dirt against the floor is directed at right angle against the row of loops and lacks lateral components.
  • Cleaning cloths according to the invention give a lateral power component, which makes the dirt partic ⁇ les move along the row of loops. This decreases the danger of break through and increases the probability that the dirt particles will be caught by and permanently kept by the thread loops until the cleaning cloth will be cleaned by washing or in other known ways.
  • the Swedish laid open patent application No 364 438 (14065/71) discri- bes a single use mop cloth consisting of a paper foundation with glued on coarse cotton threads which may have zigzag or waveform. This is however not a preferred pattern and there is nothing i the mentioned publication that could lead to the conclusion that the wave-form might contribute to any improvement of the cleaning efficiency.
  • This tendency is reinforced as one has to use twisted yarns to get enough fluffiness without reducing the strength too much.
  • the space between the yarn parts will form a transport channel for dirt across the yarn. In the case where the threads are straight this channel will be long and mainly side-directed. In the case of wave-formed threads the channel will be short and directed across the threads.
  • the cloth can be manufactured in many different ways. It is however preferred to produce it by weaving with the same technics which are used for making Vietnamese towel. Weaving gives a cloth that is light, strong, form-stable and easily handled and adop- table for different areas of use. The cloth can easily be folded over a plastic plate or another fitting mop-implement and be fixed by clips or in other known ways.
  • Another preferred method of manufacturing has been proposed relatively lately and shows features from the known technics of knitting and wea ⁇ ving. It can be described in the following way: columns of chain- stitches, which form loops too, are used as warp and kept together by transversal weft-threads. Cloths produced with this method shows the same advantages as woven towel cloths and can be produced in a more uncomplicated and economical way with bigger flexibility regarding choice of material, pattern etc.
  • the length and density of the loops may be varied within wide limits for instance from 1 to 20 mm preferably 2 to 10 mm length and from 5 to 40 loops per centimeter preferably 10 to 30 loops per centimeter.
  • the ratio between the areas of loop-covered and loop-free surfaces within the surface that is used for cleaning may vary from 9:1 to 1:9. However, for most purposes it is to be preferred that the part of loop-covered areas is the bigger one, ratios between 8:2 to 6:4 are preferred.
  • the cloth should be provided with a loop-free area with enough width outside the proper cleaning surface too to make it easy to fold over and fix to the intended cleaning implement.
  • the cleaning surface is defined as the area that are limited by the outside limit lines of the outermost loop-covered fields.
  • wave lines are used as pattern for the limiting lines their ampli ⁇ tude should not be too large.
  • the amplitude is less than the wavelength, as a rule less than half the wavelength and especially less than about a fourth of the wavelength.
  • the wave lines may run mainly parallell or be up to one half wavelength displaced in relation to each other.
  • fig. 1. is a computergenerated drawing of part of the cleaning sur ⁇ face of a cloth with five wave-formed, parallell, loop-covered fields with the same fibre material in all fields together with a section through the cleaning cloth along the line A - A
  • fig. 2 is a computergenerated drawing of part of the cleaning sur ⁇ face of a cloth with five wave-formed, loop-covered fields, disloca ⁇ ted half a wave-length in relation to each other,
  • fig. 3. is a computergenerated drawing of part of the cleaning sur ⁇ face of a cloth with five loop-covered fields limited by wave lines, which have been dislocated half a wavelength in relation to each other,
  • fig. 4. is a computergenerated drawing of part of the cleaning sur ⁇ face of a cloth with three loop-covered fields with loops with mainly dirt-catching a and limited by wave lines which have been dislocated half a wavelengh in relation to each other and two straight fields where the loops are made of material with mainly scouring effect together with a section along the line A - A through such a cleaning cloth.
  • the drawings show five loop-covered and four loop-free fields but the ⁇ se numbers may of course vary between wide limits for instance from 2 to 25 loop-covered fields and from 1 to 24 loop-free fields dependent upon among others the width of the cloth. It should, however, be observed that either the loop-covered or the loopfree fields should be too narrow as the danger of break through then increases.
  • a lower limit of about .5 centimeter respectively .1 centimeter is as a rule appropiate.
  • Usual dimensions appropriate for most areas of use are from 1 to 5 centimeter respectively from .5 to 2 centimeter.
  • the lower and upper limit applies mainly to the cases where the width of the loop-covered and/or the loop-free fields is varying along the cloth.
  • warp and weft may be varied. Natural fibres, especial ⁇ ly cotton, regenerated fibres and artificial fibres may be used. The same or different kinds of fibres may be used in warp and weft in dif ⁇ ferent parts of the cloth.
  • a preferred combination is warp, which also form loops, of textured synthetic fibres especially polyester fibres and weft of cotton.
  • both warp and weft are of the same kind of fibres for example cotton, regenerated or synthetic fibres.
  • fibres or fibre mixtures treated to give temporary or permanent antistatic properties for example MERAK- LON-fibres is recommended.
  • the warp threads are changed systemati ⁇ cally i such a way that one gets loop fields with pronounced dirt catching effect alternating with loop fields with mainly scouring effect.
  • An interesting variety of this is a scouring cloth with an uneven number for example five, longitudinal, wave formed loop fields, where the fields with uneven numbers have mainly dirt catching effect whereas the fields with even numbers have mainly scouring effect.
  • Scouring effect can be achieved for example by the use of more rigid fibres with larger cross section area and abrasive strength such as drawn monofilament fibres of nylon or other fiber materials with high wear strength and low water absorbtion.
  • the whole cloth may be one-coloured.
  • the production method makes i easy to vary colours and design. Beside decorative purposes this may with advantages be used as means to code the cloths for dif ⁇ ferent areas of use.

Abstract

Un torchon de nettoyage à usages multiples utile pour les nettoyages à l'eau, l'époussetage ou le polissage comprend un squelette de tissu ainsi qu'une pluralité de zones dotées de boucles ou poils en alternance avec des zones sans boucles. La matière fibreuse dans le squelette de tissu et les boucles comprennent les mêmes fibres ou des fibres différentes choisies parmi les fibres naturelles, régénérées et synthétiques. Lesdites fibres peuvent être antistatiques, traitées contre l'antistatique, ou imprégnées de compositions de nettoyage et/ou de compositions servant à améliorer l'absorption de la poussière et l'efficacité antistatique ainsi que le polissage. Les lignes limites entre les zones couvertes de boucles et les zones sans boucles sont courbes, au moins partiellement, c'est-à-dire que leur tangente forme sur le torchon un angle variant par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du torchon. Ledit torchon est caractérisé par une absorption de saleté accrue et par une réduction de la saleté restant après le nettoyage.
