Furniture fabric and a manufacturing method for yarn of furniture fabric

Abstract

Furniture fabric is made by weaving plural single-ply warp and fill, plural two-ply twisted warps and fills, plural warps and fills mixed with single-ply and two-ply, or two-ply warps and fills in the number of proportion X to Y, having multiple structures, various colors, stronger supportive force to bear heavy weight, and superior strength tension. And the manufacturing method of yarn of the furniture fabric includes the first step of making single-ply yarn, and the second step of twisting plural-ply yarn of the same material or single-ply yarn of different material into two-way-twisted compound yarn for producing such a furniture fabric, and the third step of weaving warp and fill by using such a yarn into various kinds of furniture fabric.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to furniture fabric and a manufacturing method of yarn of the furniture fabric, particularly to one made of compound yarns produced by a new method, which allows colorful designs, better tension strength, good supporting force to bear heavy weight, and with variously modified surface of PVC to augment comfortable feeling. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] As disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 4,996,100 titled “Fabric of mixed yarns” which is utilized in indoor and outdoor couches or furniture, almost applies the fabric interwoven of single-ply hard yarn with single-ply soft yarn. The soft yarn is made of acrylic fiber, polypropylene yarn, polyethylene and polyester, and the hard yarn is made of polyvinyl-chloride. [0003] The above-mentioned woven fabric is made of single-ply warp and fill, and such a fabric made of single-ply warp and fill has the following disadvantages. [0004] 1. Fabric made of single-ply hard yarn mixed with singl...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006] The purpose of the invention is to offer a new furniture fabric which provides superior supportive force for heavy weight and tension strength and still good softness, and a manufacturing method of such furniture fabric.

[0008] 1. The twisting technique of the furniture fabric in this invention is performed according to the physical principle that twisting with positive and negative force thus can prevent the flaw of curling and tangling of common yarn after twisting. The first step of making such yarn is to twist material into single-ply yarn, and the second step is to twist two or more single-ply yarns of the same or the different material into compound plural-ply yarn, therefore can overcome a drawback of common yarn that thermal shaping is mandatory prior to weaving.

[0010] 3. The furniture fabric is made, by weaving either the compound yarns twisted by double-ply warp and fill in both ways, or that twisted by single-ply warp and fill with double-ply warp and fill, or that twisted by single-ply warp and fill with the compound woven warp and fill, or the parallelly merged yarns according to preset ratios, which enables to have good variety of colors, better supportive force for heavy weight, and stronger tension strength.

Problems solved by technology

Fabric made of single-ply hard yarn mixed with single-ply soft warp and fill is less easily stained, but is not able to sustain heavy weight.

Fabric made of all soft single-ply warp and fill has enough softness, but limited variety of color and is void of good tension strength.
