Method for manufacturing three-dimensional fabric and three dimensional fabric using the same

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a three-dimensional fabric and a three-dimensional fabric using the same is provided. The method includes the steps of: selecting at least more than one yarn among nylon6, nylon66 and a super high tenacity yarn to be used as a warp yarn and a filling yarn; weaving the selected warp and filling yarns to produce a basis fabric with ripstops; inserting the basis fabric into a dyer and dyeing the basis fabric by providing a predetermined concentration of a dye at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined period, so that a special pattern and a color are expressed on the basis fabric because of a difference in density, material characteristics and thermal transformation temperatures between the warp yarn and the filling yarn; and drying the dyed basis fabric for a predetermined period at room temperature to make the ripstops, the pattern and the color clear without deformation.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a fabric, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional fabric on which various three-dimensional patterns and colors are presented by using a thermal transformation difference between yarns arising during a dyeing of a basis fabric woven with the yarns having a different density and material characteristic under a certain dyeing condition and to a three-dimensional fabric using the same. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Generally, one representative pleating process in a fabric woven with yarns like nylon proceeds with using a designated machine to give pleats to a dyed fabric. That is, for the pleating process, there are upper and lower rollers of which outer surfaces are shaped respectively in a positive pattern and a negative pattern and one of which is equipped with a heating device, and as a woven fabric passe...

Benefits of technology

[0010] An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional fabric improved on appearance and productivity by presenting various three-dimensional patterns and colors on a basis fabric based on a difference in thermal transformation of yarns arising in the course of dyeing the basis fabric woven with the yarns having a different density and material characteristic under a certain dyeing condition.

[0013] To achieve these objects and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, there is provided a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional fabric, including the steps of: selecting at least more than one yarn among nylon6, which is a typical type of nylon, nylon66, which is reinforced nylon, and a super high tenacity yarn to be used as a warp yarn and a filling yarn; weaving the selected warp and filling yarns to produce a basis fabric on which a plurality of ripstops are formed; inserting the woven basis fabric into a dyeing machine and dyeing the basis fabric by providing a predetermined concentration of a dye at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined period, so that a special pattern and a color are presented on the basis fabric because of a difference in density, material characteristic and thermal transformation temperature between the warp yarn and the filling yarn; and drying the dyed basis fabric for a predetermined period at room temperature to make the ripstops, the pattern and the color clear without being deformed.

[0015] In accordance with the present invention, based on a different density and thermal transformation temperature of each employed yarn, various patterns are naturally formed on a basis fabric during a dyeing process even without an additional mechanical process. This advanced manufacturing process provides quality-improved three-dimensional fabrics. Also, this simplified manufacturing process further provides an effect on easier workability and productivity of manufacturing the three-dimensional fabrics. Furthermore, under these effects, it is possible to reduce manufacturing costs, thereby providing high value-added three-dimensional fabrics with special patterns.

Problems solved by technology

However, since a specific pleating machine is necessary to produce the pleated fabric 105, the pleating process gets complicated and, workability and productivity of the pleating process are reduced.

Although there is an alternate method for giving pleats to the basis fabric 102 through dyeing and drying the basis fabric 102, the shape of the pleats 104 are not uniform, producing a poor appearance of the pleated fabric 105.

Also, the pleats 104 of the pleated fabric 105 produced by employing the pleating machine or other methods are monotonous or flat, and thus, it is limited to produce high-quality of fabrics.

Furthermore, since only one type of a fabric is manufactured under a certain condition and a processing method, the manufactured fabric is limitedly applied and productivity is reduced.

As a result, this conventional fabric manufacturing method and the fabric manufactured based on this method may not be sufficient to meet various demands of customers.
