Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to clothing, and more particularly to clothing made of stretchable fabric, having an opening through which a part of the body is inserted when worn, with a folded portion formed by folding a cut edge inward along a fold line along the cut edge, and an adhesive layer formed on the joining surface of the fabric constituting the folded portion. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 proposes a garment having raw cut openings composed of a knitted fabric in which heat-sealed elastic yarn and other yarns are knitted by plating knitting, and then heat-set processing is performed to melt the heat-sealed elastic yarn and impart an anti-raveling function.

[0003] A knitted fabric with the above-mentioned unraveling prevention function eliminates the need for post-processing to prevent unraveling around the edges, such as folding back the cut edges of the fabric and sewing them, or wrapping them in a separate piece of fabric such as tape and sewing them.

[0004] Patent Document 2 discloses a garment made of stretchable fabric and having an opening for passing a part of the wearer's body, the opening being constructed by folding the edge of the fabric in two, the edge of the fabric being secured to the main body of the fabric by dot-like adhesive applied in a single or double row along the edge of the fabric, a part of the opening being configured in a pattern with varying curvature, the row of adhesive applied on the edge side of the fabric being applied within 2 mm from the edge of the fabric, and the difference in the average spacing between adjacent adhesive applied in rows of 3 cm intervals at the part of the opening with the largest radius of curvature and the part of the opening with the smallest radius of curvature is within 15%.

[0005] According to the garment, by adjusting the spacing of the adhesive depending on the radius of curvature of the opening, even when the edge of the fabric that is concavely curved at the opening and has a portion with a different radius of curvature is folded in half and fixed using dots of adhesive, it is possible to prevent a decrease in adhesive strength and reduce poor appearance.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] JP 2005-113349 A [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2021-25157 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] The use of the knitted fabric disclosed in Patent Document 1 has the excellent effect of eliminating the need for post-processing to prevent fraying, but there is a risk that the aesthetic appearance of the cut edges will be marred by tiny frays that occur as the fabric is washed repeatedly.

[0008] According to the clothing disclosed in Patent Document 2, even if the fabric does not have an anti-fraying function, sewing to prevent fraying is not necessary on the cut edges, and the same stretchability can be ensured even at the openings as with elastic fabric, resulting in a comfortable garment. However, with repeated washing, the dot-shaped adhesive points will peel off, causing the openings to bulge in parts, and fraying may also occur from the folded-over edges of the fabric, which could impair the aesthetic appearance.

[0009] To provide a garment that can maintain good comfort and good appearance for a long period of time while preventing unraveling from cut edges without relying on sewing, regardless of whether it has an unraveling prevention function or not. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a first characteristic configuration of a garment according to the present invention is a garment made of stretchable fabric, which has an opening through which a part of the body is inserted when worn, and which has a folded portion in which the cut edge is folded inward at a fold line along the cut edge, and an adhesive layer is formed on the joining surface of the fabric that constitutes the folded portion, and which is made of adhesive applied along the cut edge in a continuous application pattern so that at least a portion of the adhesive layer is present in an area within 3 mm inward from the cut edge or the inner edge of the folded portion.

[0011] When adhesive is applied in a continuous pattern along the cut edge or the inner edge of the folded portion so that at least a portion of the folded portion of the cut edge is within 3 mm of the inner edge of the cut edge or the folded portion, the adhesive layer will not easily peel off and the cut edge will not fray even after repeated washing over a long period of time. The continuous application pattern is a concept that includes linear, wavy, or circular application patterns along the cut edge, excluding application patterns that are applied in discrete dots.

[0012] The second characteristic configuration has the same features as the first characteristic configuration described above, in that the coating pattern is a wavy or circular coating pattern with a line width of 0.5 to 2 mm and a repeat pitch of 3 to 5 mm regardless of the curvature of the cut edge that constitutes the opening, and the adhesive layer is formed by forming a penetration layer in which adhesive has penetrated into the fabric that constitutes the joining surface, and an intermediate layer consisting only of adhesive between the fabric, and the average thickness of the intermediate layer is set to 30 to 300 μm.

[0013] When the adhesive is applied along the cut edges in a wavy or circular pattern with a line width of 0.5 to 2 mm and a repeat pitch of 3 to 5 mm, and the intermediate layer is bonded to an average thickness of 30 to 300 μm, the adhesive layer does not easily peel off, and both sufficient adhesive strength and good stretchability can be secured, without causing a decrease in comfort. Moreover, the adhesive application process is simplified, realizing high production efficiency.

[0014] The term "wavy coating pattern" refers to a concept that includes linear waves such as triangular waves and sawtooth waves, as well as curved waves such as sine curves. A circular coating pattern refers to a spiral coating pattern or a circular or elliptical coating pattern that is partially overlapped.

[0015] The third characteristic configuration has, in addition to the second characteristic configuration described above, that the ratio ((D2+D3) / D1) of the average thickness (D2+D3) of the penetration layer to the average thickness (D1) of the intermediate layer is set to 0.5 to 9.

[0016] By setting the ratio of the average thickness of the intermediate layer to the average thickness of the permeation layer to 0.5 to 9, it is possible to reduce the feeling of tightness at the opening while ensuring sufficient adhesive strength, thereby ensuring good comfort.

[0017] The fourth characteristic configuration is that, in addition to the first characteristic configuration described above, the stretch fabric is composed of a fabric having a polyurethane mixing ratio of 30% or less to the ground yarn, and the coating pattern is composed of a linear coating pattern having a line width of 0.5 to 5 mm along the cut edge that forms the opening.

[0018] A simple application pattern in which adhesive is applied in a linear application pattern with a line width of 0.5 to 5 mm along the cut edge that constitutes the opening can realize high production efficiency, and can ensure both sufficient adhesive strength and good stretchability, making it widely applicable to stretch fabrics with a polyurethane blend ratio of 30% or less to the ground yarn. A linear application pattern refers to a coating pattern that is parallel to the cut edge of the stretch fabric, and if the cut edge is arc-shaped or curved, the concept includes a pattern in which the adhesive is applied in an arc-shaped or curved shape parallel to the cut edge, and is not necessarily limited to a geometric straight line.

[0019] The fifth characteristic configuration is, in addition to the fourth characteristic configuration described above, that the adhesive layer comprises a permeation layer in which the adhesive has permeated into the fabric constituting the joining surface, and an intermediate layer consisting only of adhesive is formed between the fabric, the intermediate layer has an average thickness of 50 to 250 μm, and the ratio ((D2+D3) / D1) of the average thickness (D1) of the intermediate layer to the average thickness (D2+D3) of the permeation layer is set to 0.3 to 9.

[0020] By setting the ratio of the average thickness of the intermediate layer to the average thickness of the permeation layer to 0.3 to 9, it is possible to reduce the feeling of tightness at the opening while ensuring sufficient adhesive strength, and to ensure good comfort.

[0021] A sixth characteristic feature of the present invention is that, in addition to any one of the first to fifth characteristic features described above, the folding line is set within a range of 4 to 30 mm from the cut edge.

[0022] If the folded portion is folded back within a range of 4 to 30 mm from the cut edge, no bulges or other defects that would detract from the appearance of the folded portion will occur.

[0023] A seventh characteristic feature of the present invention is that, in addition to any one of the first to fifth characteristic features described above, the adhesive is a hot melt adhesive.

[0024] By using a hot melt adhesive as the adhesive, the stretchable fabric can be bonded well.

[0025] The eighth characteristic configuration is that, in addition to any one of the first to fifth characteristic configurations described above, the folded portion is configured in three folds by folding the cut edge inward and folding the inner edge inward along a fold line along the cut edge.

[0026] By folding it in three, the cut edge of the fabric is inside the folded part, so the folded part has a neat appearance. In addition, the fabric is three-layered, so it has a firm texture. Effect of the Invention

[0027] As described above, according to the present invention, regardless of whether or not the garment has an anti-fraying function, it is possible to provide clothing that can maintain good comfort and appearance for a long period of time while preventing unraveling from the cut edges without relying on sewing processing.

[0029] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a garment according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1(a) and (b) show an example of a garment according to the present invention. The garment 1 is constructed using a circular knitting machine, with a front body 2 and a back body 3 made of a tubular, integrated stretchable fabric. The stretchable fabric is constructed of a circular knit fabric that is more stretchable in the width direction than in the length direction. The upper region of the circular knit fabric is cut into a predetermined shape to form a neck hole 4 and left and right arm hole parts 5. The neck hole part 4 and left and right arm hole parts 5 are formed by joining the shoulder parts 15 of the front body 2 and the back body 3.

[0030] The garment 1 is an undergarment made of a milling knitted fabric using cotton yarn, rayon yarn, synthetic yarn, and urethane yarn, and acrylic or nylon is used as the synthetic yarn. The fabric is not a knitted fabric that exhibits an unraveling prevention function by knitting heat-melting elastic yarn and other yarns by plating knitting and then heat setting processing as described in JP 2005-113349 A, but a fabric in which the yarn ends naturally unravel from the cut edge. However, the present invention can also be applied to knitted fabrics that exhibit the above-mentioned unraveling prevention function.

[0031] Opening 10 through which a part of the body is inserted when worn, in this example, neck hole 4 and left and right arm hole 5, has folded-back portion 13 formed by folding back cut edge 11 inward at folding line 12 along cut edge 11, and adhesive layer 14 is formed on the joining surface of fabric constituting folded-back portion 13. Opening 10 is not limited to neck hole 4 and arm hole 5, but may be any opening through which a part of the body is inserted when worn.

[0032] In the example shown in Fig. 1(a), a folded portion 13 is provided in the neck hole 4 and the left and right arm hole portions 5 as the opening 10, and in the example shown in Fig. 1(b), a folded portion 13 is provided in the neck hole 4 as the opening 10, and the base end edges 7 of the left and right sleeve portions 6 are joined with an adhesive to the edges of the arm hole portions 5. The adhesion between the sleeve portions 6 and the arm hole portions 5 is basically the same as the adhesive portion described below.

[0033] Fig. 2(a) shows a main part of the neckline 4 formed in the front body 2, and Fig. 2(b) shows an enlarged view of the neckline 4 before the cut edge 11 is folded back. The cut edge 11 is folded back inwards at the fold line 12 to form the folded back part 13 (see Fig. 1(a)). In Fig. 2(a), the cut edge 11 is shown by a dashed line, indicating that it is folded back to the back side of the fabric (skin side) and cannot be seen from the front side.

[0034] The fold line 12 is set to a first predetermined width d1, specifically, any width in the range of 4 to 30 mm, from the cut edge 11. The adhesive layer 14 (described in detail in FIG. 6(a)) is composed of adhesive applied in a continuous application pattern along the cut edge 11 in a band-shaped application region 14R having a second predetermined width d2, specifically, a width of 3 mm or less, inward from the cut edge 11.

[0035] In Fig. 2(b), the application area 14R is shown by hatching. Setting the first predetermined width d1 in the range of 4 to 30 mm can effectively prevent bulges and other defects that may detract from the appearance of the folded-back portion 13. If the first predetermined width d1 is set to less than 4 mm, there will be a problem of a lack of stability in quality, such as the ability to prevent unraveling, and if the first predetermined width d1 is set to more than 30 mm, there will be a problem of poor wearing comfort.

[0036] It is preferable that the adhesive applied to the application area 14R be in a single linear application pattern continuously applied along the cut edge 11, as shown in FIG. 3(a), or in a single wavy or circular application pattern continuously applied along the cut edge 11, as shown in FIG. 3(b). The entire adhesive application pattern may be included in the band-shaped application area 14R, as shown in FIG. 3(a), or only a portion of the adhesive application pattern, as shown in FIG. 3(b).

[0037] Continuous application means that the adhesive is applied to the substrate without leaving any uncoated areas, and does not include application patterns that are discontinuous along the application direction, such as dot-like application or intermittent application in dashed lines.

[0038] The term "linear coating pattern" refers to a coating pattern parallel to the cut edge 11 of the stretchable fabric, and if the cut edge 11 is arc-shaped or curved, the concept includes a pattern in which the coating is applied in an arc-shaped or curved shape parallel to the cut edge, and is not necessarily limited to a geometric straight line. The term "wavy coating pattern" refers to a coating pattern including coating in a direction intersecting the cut edge 11 of the stretchable fabric, and the concept includes linearly repeated waveforms such as triangular waves and sawtooth waves, and curved waveforms such as sine curves. The term "circular coating pattern" refers to a spiral coating pattern or a coating pattern of a perfect circle or ellipse, with parts overlapping.

[0039] FIG. 4(a) illustrates an example of a triangular waveform coating pattern including a sawtooth shape, FIG. 4(b) illustrates a sine wave coating pattern, and FIG. 4(c) illustrates a circular (spiral) coating pattern.

[0040] When the adhesive is applied in a linear continuous pattern, it is preferable that the line width is 0.5 to 5 mm. If the line width is less than 0.5 mm, the adhesive strength will be insufficient, and if the line width exceeds 5 mm, the adhesive part will be stiff, causing a taut feeling in the fabric and impairing the wearing comfort.

[0041] When the adhesive is continuously applied in a wavy or circular pattern, it is preferable that the adhesive is continuously applied in a wavy or circular pattern with a line width in the range of 0.5 to 2 mm, a repeat pitch ΔP in the range of 3 to 5 mm, and a pattern width W in the range of 3 to 6 mm. If the line width is less than 0.5 mm, the adhesive strength is insufficient, and if the line width is more than 2 mm, the adhesive part becomes stiff. If the repeat pitch ΔP is less than 3 mm, the stretchability of the fabric is hindered, and if the repeat pitch ΔP is more than 5 mm, the anti-fraying function of the cut edge is weakened and durability is lacking. If the pattern width W is less than 3 mm, the anti-fraying function of the cut edge is weakened and durability is lacking, and if the pattern width W is more than 6 mm, the appearance is affected.

[0042] When the adhesive layer is formed in such a coating pattern, both sufficient adhesive strength and good elasticity can be ensured, and the adhesive layer 14 does not peel off easily even over a long period of time even after repeated washing, and no fraying occurs at the cut edge 11.

[0043] Furthermore, it is preferable that the line width, repetition pitch ΔP, and pattern width W are maintained constant regardless of the curvature of the cut edge 11 that constitutes the opening 10. Even if the curvature of the folded portion 13 changes, the adhesive is continuously applied in a predetermined application pattern along the cut edge 11, so that adhesion can be achieved with sufficient strength without reducing comfort, and the adhesive application process is simplified, so that the production efficiency of the garment 1 is improved.

[0044] Other adhesive application patterns are shown in Fig. 4(d) to Fig. 4(f). As long as the adhesive application pattern has a line width in the range of 0.5 to 2 mm, a repeat pitch ΔP in the range of 3 to 5 mm, and a pattern width W in the range of 3 to 6 mm, an example in which the application pattern in Fig. 4(a) is configured in two rows as shown in Fig. 4(d) and an example in which the application pattern in Fig. 4(b) is configured in two rows as shown in Fig. 4(e) can be adopted. In this case, by applying the application pattern in each row with the phase of the application pattern inverted, it is possible to effectively suppress the decrease in the elasticity of the adhesive part and the occurrence of stiffness, while improving the unraveling prevention effect. The example in Fig. 4(f) is an application pattern in which the adhesive is applied in parallel along the cut edge 11 and in two rows.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 6(a), adhesive layer 14 is a joint formed by applying adhesive to the cut edge of the fabric constituting front body 2 or back body 3 and folding back the cut edge, forming a permeation layer 14A that has permeated both fabrics, and an intermediate layer 14B made only of adhesive between the two fabrics.

[0046] When the adhesive application pattern is a continuous wavy or circular application, the average thickness of the intermediate layer 14B is preferably 30 to 300 μm, and the ratio (D2+D3) / (D1) of the average thickness (D2+D3) of the penetration layer 14A to the average thickness (D1) of the intermediate layer 14B is preferably 0.5 to 9, and more preferably 1.6 to 6.

[0047] When the adhesive application pattern is a continuous linear application, the average thickness of the intermediate layer is preferably 50 to 250 μm, and the ratio (D2+D3) / (D1) of the average thickness (D2+D3) of the penetration layer 14A to the average thickness (D1) of the intermediate layer 14B is preferably 0.3 to 9.

[0048] By setting this value, it is possible to reduce the feeling of tightness at the opening 10 while ensuring sufficient adhesive strength at the joint, and to ensure a good fit while maintaining the stretch properties and texture of the fabric.

[0049] In either case, it is preferable that the ratio of the average thickness (D1) of the intermediate layer 14B to the thickness of the fabric overlapped by folding back at the fold line 12 (the thickness of two sheets of fabric) is in the range of 0.05 to 0.25, and the ratio of the average thickness (D2+D3) of the permeation layer 14A is in the range of 0.00005 to 0.4, and it is preferable that the permeation layer 14A permeates both fabrics evenly.

[0050] The average thickness (D2+D3) of the penetration layer 14A and the average thickness (D1) of the intermediate layer 14B are values ​​obtained by averaging the thicknesses of the penetration layer 14A and the intermediate layer 14B observed in an SEM photograph of a cross-section of the adhesive layer 14 measured at predetermined intervals along the cross-section.

[0051] As the adhesive, a hot melt adhesive, for example, a moisture-curing reactive hot melt adhesive, is suitably used. For example, liquid hot melt adhesive heated to 120°C is applied from a nozzle equipped with a gear pump to a band-shaped application area 14R (hatched area shown in Figure 2(b)) in the application pattern described above, and then the cut edge 11 is folded inward based on the fold line 12 and pressed at a predetermined pressure using a pressing tool adjusted to a predetermined temperature to form an adhesive layer 14.

[0052] Examples of thermoplastic resins used in adhesives include polyurethane-based hot melt resins, polyester-based hot melt resins, polyamide-based hot melt resins, EVA-based hot melt resins, polyolefin-based hot melt resins, styrene-based elastomer resins, moisture-curable hot melt resins, reactive hot melt resins, etc. Among these, moisture-curable hot melt resins are particularly preferred because they have high adhesive strength and can provide adhesion with excellent durability, and examples of such resins include TS-230 from 3M and TECHNOMELT PUR3460 from Henkel.

[0053] Figure 5(a) shows the folded portion 13 formed in the neck hole portion 4 and arm hole portion 5 of the front body 2, Figure 5(b) shows the folded portion 13 formed in the neck hole portion 4 and arm hole portion 5 of the back body 3, and Figure 5(c) shows the procedure for forming the neck hole portion 4 by bonding the shoulder portions 15 of the front body 2 and back body 3 together in the same bonding pattern as described above after the folded portion 13 has been formed.

[0054] The knitted fabrics to which the present invention is applicable include weft knitted fabrics such as flat knitted, rib knitted, purl knitted, smooth knitted, etc., and warp knitted fabrics such as Denbigh knitted, cord knitted, atlas knitted, etc. Circular knitted fabrics are included in the weft knitted fabrics.

[0055] The fibers constituting the knitted fabric are preferably natural fibers such as cotton yarn, and in addition to natural fibers, regenerated cellulose fibers such as cupra and viscose rayon, blended yarns with natural fibers, and synthetic fibers such as polyester can also be used. It is preferable to add polyurethane yarn to ensure sufficient stretchability of the fabric.

[0056] In the above explanation, the cut edge 11 is folded inwardly at the fold line 12 along the cut edge 11 to form the folded portion 13, as shown in FIG. 6(b), in a two-fold manner in which the cut edge 11 is simply folded inwardly once, but the manner of the folded portion 13 is not limited to this. It is also possible to adopt a three-fold manner in which the cut edge 11 is folded inwardly along the cut edge 11, so that the inner edge 11a is folded inwardly at a fold line along the cut edge, as shown in FIG. 6(c).

[0057] In this case, the first fold line is formed on the cut edge 11 side of the fold line 12 set within a range of 4 to 30 mm from the cut edge 11, and the adhesive layer is formed on the surface of the fabric. The adhesive layer is composed of adhesive applied along the cut edge in a continuous application pattern so that at least a part of the adhesive layer is present in an area within 3 mm inside the inner edge 11a of the fold. In other words, the adhesive layer need only be composed of adhesive applied along the cut edge in a continuous application pattern so that at least a portion of the adhesive layer is present in an area within 3 mm inside the cut edge 11 or the inner edge 11a of the folded portion.

[0058] When the three-folded mode is adopted, the cut edge 11 of the fabric is inside the folded-back portion 13, resulting in a neat appearance. In addition, since the fabric is three-layered, it has a firm texture, and is preferably adopted when a firm feel is desired.

[0059] Regardless of whether the folding mode shown in FIG. 6(b) or (c) is adopted, when it is necessary to increase the kickback characteristic or to increase the folding width, it is preferable to configure the application pattern in two rows as shown in FIG. 4(f).

[0060] When using a 100% cotton fabric that does not contain polyurethane thread, it is preferable to select a straight line as the application pattern of the adhesive layer, and it is preferable to select an adhesive with excellent stretchability properties. EXAMPLES

[0061] An embodiment will be described below. Test fabrics were knitted using 95% cotton yarn and 5% polyurethane yarn, or 100% cotton yarn. Adhesive was applied in two patterns, a straight-line application pattern and a triangular-wave application pattern as shown in Figure 3(a) or Figure 3(b), so that all or part of the adhesive was located in a band-shaped application area 3 mm from the cut edge. The fabric was then folded back at a 6 mm fold line and pressed under heat to form a joint, and the fabric was evaluated for fraying, sagging, adhesive strength, appearance, texture, and tautness.

[0062] The evaluation method is as follows. "Fraying": Check the fraying after 50 washes (thread length 3mm or less, appearance of fabric edge) The yarn end is rated as follows: 1mm or less ◎, 2mm or less 〇, 3mm or less △, 4mm or less ×, 4mm or more XX, and the degree of lifting of the fabric edge is evaluated in appearance. "Sagging": Demachia bending test (150% elongation, 1000 times, judged based on sagging rate of 15%) "Adhesive strength": JIS L 1086 "Appearance": Sensory evaluation (swelling of adhesive, transparency of adhesive, etc.) 5-point rating "Texture": Texture (discomfort compared to other parts) rated on a 5-point scale "Tightness": A cylindrical sample was stretched 150% on the backs of both hands 5 times, and the discomfort was evaluated on a 5-point scale

[0063] The adhesive was applied to the test substrate by extruding a liquid hot melt adhesive heated to 120°C through a nozzle equipped with a gear pump.

[0064] The adhesive was applied with different application patterns, line widths, and pitches, and the pressing conditions were varied to measure the thickness of the intermediate layer of the formed adhesive layer using SEM photographs. The evaluation results for each test fabric of Examples 1 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 are shown in Figure 7. Here, Examples 1 to 8, 10, and 11 have a folded-back portion 13 folded in two, Example 9 has a folded-back portion folded in three, and all Comparative Examples have a folded-back portion folded in two.

[0065] As shown in Figure 7, it was found that good results were obtained when the adhesive was continuously applied in a wave shape with a line width in the range of 0.5 to 2 mm, a repetition pitch ΔP of 3 to 5 mm, and a pattern width W of 3 to 6 mm, resulting in an average thickness of the intermediate layer of 30 to 300 μm, and when the adhesive was continuously applied in a linear shape with a line width in the range of 0.5 to 5 mm, resulting in an average thickness of the intermediate layer of 50 to 250 μm.

[0066] It was also confirmed that when the average thickness of the intermediate layer is appropriate, the fabric is sufficiently impregnated with the adhesive and undergoes cohesive failure, resulting in high adhesive strength and a good texture for the fabric; however, if the average thickness of the intermediate layer is too thick, the texture is impaired due to the unevenness and high rigidity of the fabric, and a tight feeling is likely to occur when stretched. In particular, when impregnation is insufficient, the interface is likely to peel off and the adhesive strength is low.

[0067] In the above explanation, women's underwear has been used as an example of clothing, but the present invention can be applied to various underwear regardless of gender or top and bottom clothing, and can also be applied to shirts, shorts, and other items other than underwear. [Industrial Applicability]

[0068] According to the garment of the present invention, regardless of whether the fabric itself has an anti-fraying function, it is possible to provide a garment that can maintain a good fit and appearance for a long period of time while preventing fraying from the cut edges without relying on sewing processing.
