Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing technology, and in particular to a moisture-wicking and breathable fabric and garment with controllable opening and closing direction. Background Technology

[0002] The moisture-wicking and breathability of clothing is an important indicator of its comfort and health benefits. Good moisture-wicking and breathability means that when the body sweats, the fabric can quickly absorb the sweat and transfer the water vapor to the outside of the fabric through micropores or other structures, preventing sweat from accumulating on the skin and thus keeping the skin dry and comfortable.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, a self-opening composite material is available, comprising a fabric layer 1', a cut 2', and a composite layer assembly 3'. The cut 2' and the composite layer assembly 3' are placed on the fabric layer 1'. The cut 2' is an arc and / or a V-shaped line. The composite layer assembly 3' includes a hydrophilic functional layer, a hydrophobic functional layer, and an adhesive film. The hydrophilic functional layer has a higher moisture absorption rate than ordinary materials, while the hydrophobic functional layer has a lower moisture absorption rate. The adhesive film is located between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic functional layers, thus bonding the composite layer assembly 3' together. The composite layer assembly 3' is positioned at the cut 2' and correspondingly covers region I on the fabric layer 1' located to the side of the cut 2', and may even further cover region II.

[0004] When the fabric layer 1' at position 3' of the composite layer group is in a dry environment, the cut 2' is closed. When the fabric layer 1' at position 3' of the composite layer group is in a humid environment, the hydrophilic functional layer in the composite layer group 3' absorbs moisture and expands and elongates, causing the cut 2' to open, increasing the contact area between the skin and the outside air, which is conducive to sweat evaporation and heat dissipation.

[0005] However, composite layer 3' covers the entire area I. Due to the shape of the hydrophilic functional layer within area I, the expansion force of this part of the hydrophilic functional layer is scattered and inconsistent after moisture absorption. This causes area I of fabric layer 1' to easily bulge into a semi-bowl shape when the cut 2' is opened, resulting in a poor appearance. When composite layer 3' further covers area II, area II of fabric layer 1' also exhibits unevenness after moisture absorption, affecting the appearance. This situation is particularly noticeable when the expansion force of the hydrophilic functional layer after moisture absorption is large. However, if the expansion force after moisture absorption is too small, it can easily lead to the failure of the cut to open, thus failing to achieve the purpose of breathability. The magnitude of the expansion force of the hydrophilic functional layer after moisture absorption is affected by its material and thickness. Therefore, to ensure the appearance and guarantee the cut function, the material selection range for the hydrophilic functional layer is relatively small, and the thickness requirement is relatively high when preparing this composite material.

[0006] In addition, the direction of the expansion force after moisture absorption is also affected. If the thickness of the hydrophilic functional layer is uneven, the direction of the opening of the corresponding fabric layer 1'Ⅰ area after moisture absorption is difficult to control, which can easily make the cuts look messy and irregular, resulting in a poor appearance. Therefore, the uniformity of the thickness of the hydrophilic functional layer is also required during manufacturing. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a moisture-wicking and breathable fabric and garment with controllable opening and closing direction, whose movable flaps can be lifted in a controllable direction and have a better appearance.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0009] A moisture-wicking and breathable fabric with controllable opening and closing direction includes a fabric base layer and a functional unit. The fabric base layer has a non-closed curved slit that penetrates the fabric base layer along its thickness direction, forming a movable flap. The movable flap has an interconnected movable edge and a fixed edge. The shape of the movable edge corresponds to the shape of the slit. The fixed edge connects the movable flap to the fabric base layer. One side of the movable flap is an adhesive surface, which has an adhesive area and a strip-shaped first non-adhesive area. The functional unit includes a functional adhesive layer, which is layered and bonded to the fabric base layer. The two layers have different moisture absorption and expansion rates. The functional adhesive layer is located on the same side as the adhesive surface and covers the adhesive area, while avoiding the slit and the first non-adhesive area.

[0010] Furthermore, at least two first adhesive-free areas are provided on the adhesive surface, and the first adhesive-free areas are arranged at intervals and have the same length direction.

[0011] Furthermore, the functional adhesive layer includes a strip-shaped outer edge, which is disposed along the movable edge within the adhesive area and / or along the fixed edge, with the end of the first adhesive-free area facing the outer edge.

[0012] Furthermore, the length direction of the first glue-free area intersects the length direction of the fixed side.

[0013] Furthermore, the side of the functional adhesive layer corresponding to the fixed edge is the connecting side, which is located on the active page or extends out of the active page; when the connecting side is located on the active page, a second adhesive-free area is formed between the connecting side and the fixed edge.

[0014] Furthermore, the distance L between the connecting side contour line and the fixed side is 0.5 to 1 mm.

[0015] Furthermore, the thickness of the functional adhesive layer is 0.13–0.17 mm.

[0016] Furthermore, the functional unit also includes an adhesive layer, which is located between the fabric base layer and the functional adhesive layer and avoids the cut seam. The shape of the adhesive layer is consistent with the shape of the functional adhesive layer, and the fabric base layer and the functional adhesive layer are bonded and fixed to each other through the adhesive layer.

[0017] A garment made of the aforementioned moisture-wicking and breathable fabric with controllable opening and closing direction.

[0018] Furthermore, the garment includes a hat body made of a moisture-wicking and breathable fabric with controllable opening and closing direction, and the slits are evenly distributed on the sides of the hat body.

[0019] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. This utility model sets a slit on the fabric base layer to form a movable flap, and sets a functional adhesive layer on the adhesive surface of the movable flap to control the opening and closing of the movable flap. The adhesive surface is provided with a strip-shaped first adhesive-free area. Through the first adhesive-free area, the adhesive force of the functional adhesive layers on both sides can be concentrated in the length direction of the first adhesive-free area, weakening the adhesive force in other directions, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the lifting and opening / closing direction of the movable flap, reducing the influence of factors such as the material and thickness uniformity of the functional adhesive layer on the lifting direction of the movable flap, and improving the appearance effect after moisture absorption.

[0021] 2. The lifting direction of the movable page in this utility model is controllable. Therefore, when the directions of each first adhesive-free area are consistent, even if the thickness of each functional adhesive layer is different or the thickness uniformity is insufficient, the lifting direction of the corresponding movable page is basically the same. This is beneficial to improving the neatness of the movable page lifting after moisture absorption, obtaining a better appearance effect, and also to reducing the manufacturing difficulty and requirements of the functional adhesive layer.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figure 2-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a moisture-wicking and breathable fabric with controllable opening and closing direction, including a fabric base layer 100 and a functional unit 200. The fabric base layer 100 has non-closed curved slits 110 such as arcs, U-shapes, and V-shapes, which penetrate the fabric base layer 100 along its thickness direction, thus forming a movable flap 120 and corresponding breathable slits on the fabric base layer 100. The movable flap 120 has interconnected movable edges 121 and fixed edges 122. The shape of the movable edge 121 corresponds to the shape of the slits 110, and the fixed edge 122 is the connecting edge between the movable flap 121 and the fabric base layer 100. One side of the movable flap 120 is an adhesive surface 123, which is divided into an adhesive area 1231 and a strip-shaped first non-adhesive area 1232.

[0038] Functional unit 200 includes a functional adhesive layer 210, which is stacked and bonded to the fabric base layer 100. The two layers have different moisture absorption and expansion rates; that is, the moisture absorption and expansion rate of the functional adhesive layer 210 is greater or less than that of the fabric base layer 100. The functional adhesive layer 210 is positioned corresponding to the position of the movable page 120 and is located on the same side as the adhesive surface 123. The functional adhesive layer 210 covers the adhesive area 1231 to drive the movable page 120 while avoiding the cut slit 110 to prevent affecting the opening and closing of the movable page 121. Furthermore, the functional adhesive layer 210 also avoids the first adhesive-free area 1232 to ensure that the first adhesive-free area 1232 does not contain the functional adhesive layer 210. In other words, within the adhesive surface 123, the shape of the adhesive area 1231 is consistent with the shape of the functional adhesive layer 210.

[0039] Multiple functional units 200 and one-to-one corresponding movable pages 120 are provided. In the non-moisture-absorbing state, the movable pages 120 flatten and close the breathable slits on the fabric base layer 100. In the moisture-absorbing state, due to the difference in the moisture absorption expansion rate between the functional adhesive layer 210 and the fabric base layer 100, their volumes change after moisture absorption, and the degree of change is different. Utilizing the volume difference between the two after moisture absorption, the movable pages 120 can be lifted to achieve the purpose of ventilation.

[0040] Because the adhesive surface 123 has a strip-shaped first adhesive-free area 1232, under the action of the first adhesive-free area 1232, the adhesive force of the functional adhesive layer 210 and its corresponding moisture absorption expansion force and shrinkage force after moisture dissipation can be concentrated in the length direction of the first adhesive-free area 1232, weakening the adhesive force in other directions. Based on this, after moisture absorption, the movable page 120 can be controlled and guided to lift along the length direction of the first adhesive-free area 1232, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the lifting and opening / closing direction of the movable page 120.

[0041] Since the lifting direction of the movable page 120 is mainly controlled by the first adhesive-free area 1232, even when the functional adhesive layer 210 has a large moisture absorption and expansion force due to thickness or material limitations, or when the thickness uniformity of the functional adhesive layer 210 is insufficient, the movable page 120 can still maintain a good appearance after moisture absorption. Therefore, the designed first adhesive-free area 1232 helps to reduce the influence of factors such as the material and thickness uniformity of the functional adhesive layer 210 on the lifting direction of the movable page 120, reduces the manufacturing difficulty and requirements of the functional adhesive layer 210, and broadens the selection of adhesive materials used in the functional adhesive layer 210.

[0042] like Figure 7As shown, at least two first adhesive-free areas 1232 are provided on the adhesive surface 123. The first adhesive-free areas 1232 are spaced apart and have the same length direction, which can concentrate the adhesive force in the same direction. In addition, when the length direction of the first adhesive-free areas 1232 of each movable page 120 is consistent, even if the thickness of the functional adhesive layer 210 in each functional unit 200 is different, the lifting direction of the corresponding movable page 120 is basically the same, which can make the movable pages 120 after moisture absorption more neatly arranged and obtain a better appearance.

[0043] Preferably, the length direction of the first adhesive-free area 1232 intersects with, or is even perpendicular to, the length direction of the fixed edge 122. The closer the two directions are to being perpendicular, the more beneficial it is to reduce the adhesive force required for the functional adhesive layer 210 to open and close the movable page 120, and the thinner the functional adhesive layer 210 becomes. In this embodiment, both the slit 110 and the functional adhesive layer 210 are symmetrically arranged with the perpendicular bisector of the fixed edge 122 as the center line, resulting in a more uniform force distribution on the movable page 120.

[0044] like Figure 8-9 As shown, the functional adhesive layer 210 includes a strip-shaped outer edge 211, which is disposed along the movable edge 121 within the adhesive area 1231 and / or along the fixed edge 122. Correspondingly, the end of the first adhesive-free area 1232 is directly opposite the outer edge 211. Since the position of the outer edge 211 corresponds to the end position of the first adhesive-free area 1232, the outer edge 211 can provide support, preventing the portion of the movable page 120 corresponding to the first adhesive-free area 1232 from curling up or being squeezed and wrinkled in directions other than the length direction of the first adhesive-free area 1232 after moisture absorption.

[0045] Define the side of the functional adhesive layer 210 corresponding to the fixing edge 122 as the connecting side 212, such as Figure 10 As shown, the connection side 212 is located on the active page 120, or as... Figure 11 The movable page 120 extends outwards as shown. When the connecting side 212 is located on the movable page 120, a second adhesive-free area 1233 is formed between the connecting side 212 and the fixed edge 122, making it easier for the movable page 120 to lift after absorbing moisture. When the connecting side 212 extends outwards from the movable page 120, the functional adhesive layer 210 provides stronger support, making it less likely for the movable page 120 to collapse after being lifted. In either case, the distance L between the outline of the connecting side 212 and the fixed edge 122 is set between 0.5 and 1 mm, preferably 1 mm.

[0046] In this embodiment, the functional adhesive layer 210 is made of PUR hot melt adhesive that absorbs moisture and expands, with a moisture absorption expansion rate greater than that of the fabric base layer 100. Its thickness is 0.13–0.17 mm, or 13–17 mils. Preferably, the thickness of the functional adhesive layer 210 is set to 15 mils to balance the fabric function and the wearing comfort of the finished garment, reduce the feeling of foreign objects when wearing it, and pass the washing test, showing that it is not easily detached after washing.

[0047] When other adhesives are used to make the functional adhesive layer 210, the aforementioned functional unit 200 also includes an adhesive layer 220. This adhesive layer 220 is located between the fabric base layer 100 and the functional adhesive layer 210, and avoids the cut 110 to prevent affecting the opening and closing of the movable page 120. The shape of the adhesive layer 220 is consistent with the shape of the functional adhesive layer 210, and the fabric base layer 100 and the functional adhesive layer 210 can be bonded and fixed together through this adhesive layer 220.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] Based on the above embodiment one, this utility model also discloses a garment made of the above-mentioned moisture-wicking and breathable fabric with controllable opening and closing direction.

[0050] To ensure the flap 120 opens outwards after moisture absorption, thus enabling breathability, the functional adhesive layer 210 is positioned on the side of the fabric base layer 100 facing the skin when its moisture absorption expansion rate is greater than that of the fabric base layer 100; conversely, it is positioned on the side of the fabric base layer 100 away from the skin when its moisture absorption expansion rate is less than that of the fabric base layer 100. In this embodiment, the functional adhesive layer 210 is positioned on the side of the fabric base layer 100 facing the skin to facilitate rapid moisture absorption and allow the flap 120 to open for breathability.

[0051] This garment can be a variety of products, including tops, pants, and hats. The aforementioned functional units 200 and movable pages 120 can be evenly distributed across the entire garment, or selectively located in areas prone to sweating, such as the chest, back, and armpits. Figure 12 As shown, when the garment is a hat, the garment includes a hat body 300 made of the aforementioned moisture-wicking and breathable fabric with controllable opening and closing direction, and the aforementioned slits 110 and corresponding functional units 200 are evenly distributed on the side of the hat body 300.

[0052] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
