Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile fabrics, specifically a pleated textile composite fabric. Background Technology
[0002] With the booming development of the textile industry, fabrics have increasingly influenced clothing trends, and their rich and varied textures have brought about revolutionary changes to traditional clothing design. Among the many fabric decoration techniques, pleats stand out for their unique artistic expression. Through the folds, wrinkles, pleats, and ripples of fabrics, pleats give clothing a strong sense of three-dimensionality and layering, sculpting the wearer's figure as if by magic. Pleats not only significantly enhance the aesthetic appeal of clothing but also cleverly create diverse dressing styles—whether elegant, avant-garde, or casual—becoming a key means of achieving diverse clothing styles.
[0003] However, despite the wide application of pleated fabrics, existing technologies still face numerous challenges in design and production. Currently available pleated textiles often feature relatively simple structures and arrangements of pleats. This homogeneous pleating style struggles to meet the growing demand for personalization, especially in high-end fashion and creative design. For example, traditional uniform or regular pleats often lack depth and variation in their three-dimensional effect, limiting designers' creativity in garment structure and visual impact. This limitation makes garments appear flat or lack dynamism from certain angles. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing pleated fabrics, such as simple structure, lack of three-dimensionality and layering, and to provide a pleated textile composite fabric with a unique structure, rich texture and dynamic visual effect.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A pleated textile composite fabric includes a main body layer on which multiple adjacent pleated units are distributed.
[0007] The fold unit includes a main fold band extending along the warp direction, and the fold unit also includes a first fold area and a second fold area distributed vertically.
[0008] The first folded area includes multiple straight guide lines arranged at intervals around the main folded band as the axis of symmetry;
[0009] The second folded area includes multiple tortuous, extending zigzag guide lines.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution: the main pleated belt is woven from a first shrink yarn, which includes multiple spirally wound polyester fibers.
[0011] As a further preferred technical solution: the first pleated area and the second pleated area are woven from a second shrink yarn, which includes multiple spirally wound polyester fibers and spandex fibers.
[0012] As a further preferred technical solution: the fineness of the first shrink yarn is 10-15 tex; the fineness of the second shrink yarn is 5-10 tex.
[0013] As another preferred technical solution: the straight guide line is inclined, and the angle between the straight guide line and the main pleated band is 35-75 degrees.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] Through the ingenious combination of the main pleat band, the first pleat area (straight guide line), and the second pleat area (zigzag guide line), more complex and varied pleated units are formed on the main layer. This design breaks away from the uniformity of traditional pleated fabrics. The main pleat band lays the foundation for the basic pleat shape, while the symmetrical straight guide lines of the first pleat area and the zigzag guide lines of the second pleat area create pleat effects with different textures. The combination of these three elements significantly enhances the overall three-dimensionality and layering of the fabric, allowing it to present rich textural variations from different angles.

[0028] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. To better illustrate this embodiment, some parts in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product.
[0029] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that certain well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the accompanying drawings. The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a pleated textile composite fabric, including a main layer 1. Multiple pleated units 2 are formed on the main layer 1 through a specific weaving process, arranged in a specific direction (such as the weft or warp) and adjacent to each other.
[0032] The core structure of each pleat unit 2 includes components along the warp direction of the fabric (e.g., Figure 1 The main pleat band 21 extends along the length of the fabric shown. The main pleat band 21 is the main part that constitutes the skeleton of the pleat unit 2. A first pleat area 22 and a second pleat area 23 are respectively distributed in the vertical direction of the main pleat band 21.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 The first fold area 22 is designed with multiple straight guide lines 221. These straight guide lines 221 are parallel to each other or arranged at regular intervals with the center line of the main fold band 21 as the axis of symmetry. The straight guide lines 221 can be parallel to the main fold band 21 or inclined at a specific angle α to the extension direction of the main fold band 21. In this preferred embodiment, the angle α ranges from 35 to 75 degrees. For example, α = 45° or α = 60° can be selected. Such an inclined arrangement can guide the formation of directional oblique folds, increasing the dynamic feel of the folds.
[0034] The second pleated area 23 contains multiple meandering zigzag guide lines 231. These zigzag guide lines 231 can be irregular wavy lines, zigzag lines, or other non-linear curves or combinations of zigzag segments. They contrast sharply with the straight guide lines 221 of the first pleated area 22, giving the fabric a freer and more varied pleated texture.
[0035] The main pleat band 21 is preferably woven from a first shrink yarn 31. This first shrink yarn 31 can, for example, be made from multiple polyester fibers 33 through a spiral winding process. Polyester fibers 33 themselves have a certain degree of heat shrinkage and will shrink during finishing processes (such as heat setting), thereby forming stable base pleats with a certain height or depth in the main pleat band 21 area. The fineness of the first shrink yarn 31 is preferably 10-15 tex, for example, 12 tex. A thicker yarn helps to form fuller and more supportive main pleats.
[0036] The first pleated area 22 and the second pleated area 23 are preferably woven from a second shrinkage yarn 32. This second shrinkage yarn 32 can be, for example, made by spirally winding multiple polyester fibers 33 and spandex fibers 34 together. The addition of spandex fibers 34 significantly improves the elastic recovery and shrinkage rate of the yarn. The fineness of the second shrinkage yarn 32 is preferably 5-10 tex, for example, 8 tex. The finer yarn combined with high shrinkage allows the first pleated area 22 and the second pleated area 23 to form finer, denser, or more varied pleats.
[0037] By using yarns with different shrinkage properties and fineness in different areas of the main body layer 1 (main pleat band 21, first pleat area 22, and second pleat area 23), and combining this with a pre-set weaving structure of straight guide lines 221 and zigzag guide lines 231, when the fabric undergoes finishing processes such as heat setting, the differential shrinkage of the different yarns leads to the formation of the desired pleated effect on the fabric surface, characterized by rich layers and a three-dimensional feel. The main pleat band 21 forms the main bulges or depressions, the first pleat area 22 forms relatively regular pleats guided by the straight guide lines 221, while the second pleat area 23 produces a more free and dynamic pleated texture due to the action of the zigzag guide lines 231.
[0038] This pleated textile composite fabric, through the aforementioned structural design, achieves a distinct primary and secondary, dynamic and static pleated effect on its surface. The main pleat band 21 provides the basic pleat framework, the straight guide lines 221 of the first pleat area 22 create orderly, symmetrical, or directional pleat textures, while the zigzag guide lines 231 of the second pleat area 23 introduce irregular and free pleat variations. This multi-layered and multi-form pleat combination greatly enhances the fabric's artistic expression and design space, satisfying the fashion industry's pursuit of individuality and innovation. It is particularly suitable for producing high-end fashion and creative garments that require strong visual effects and unique textures.
[0039] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
