Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an interior material for transportation equipment, which is made of fabric and is used for the interior of transportation equipment such as automobiles (vehicles), ships, and aircraft. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Interior materials for transportation equipment, such as automobiles (vehicles), ships, and aircraft, which are made of fabrics, have been proposed.

[0003] For example, the automobile interior material disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a pile fabric made of tricot knit fabric, and is characterized in that the pile is a cut pile made of composite fibers having a core-sheath structure with a normal polyester fiber material as the core and a cationic dyeable polyester fiber material as the sheath, and that the sheath part of the composite fibers that make up the pile structure is dyed a darker color than the core part.

[0004] In addition, the automobile seat cover of Patent Document 2 is characterized in that an elastic body made of urethane foam or the like is covered with a cotton material to form a core member of a predetermined size, and the core members are arranged in multiple parallel rows and covered and sewn on the front and back with decorative fabric that forms an outer covering, so that the multiple core members form independent cushion portions on the seating surface.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-268855 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3065125 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, the conventional automobile interior material shown in Patent Document 1 is made of pile fabric, which feels nice to the touch but is prone to pile shedding, posing a durability issue. Also, the automobile seat cover shown in Patent Document 2 forms a core member by covering an elastic body made of urethane foam or the like with a cotton material, and the front and back of the core member are covered and sewn with decorative fabric as outer coverings. However, because the cotton material is hollow fiber, it easily absorbs moisture, increasing its volume, and has the tendency to shrink when it dries, again posing a durability issue.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide an interior material for transportation equipment made of a fabric that is durable, yet soft to the touch and flexible. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The interior material for transportation equipment according to claim 1 is characterized in that the fabric is a woven fabric in which the warp threads are made of chemical fibers and the weft threads are made of fibers containing at least natural fibers.

[0009] The interior material for transportation equipment according to claim 2 has the same features as claim 1, and is characterized in that the weft is made of natural fiber and chemical fiber.

[0010] The interior material for transportation equipment according to claim 3 has the features of claim 2, and is characterized in that the weft yarn is made of a blend of natural fiber and chemical fiber.

[0011] The interior material for transportation equipment according to claim 4 has the same features as claim 2, and is characterized in that the weave of the fabric is a twill weave.

[0012] The interior material for transportation equipment according to claim 5 is characterized in that, in addition to the configuration of any one of claims 1 to 4, the natural fiber is silk. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to the interior material for transportation equipment of the present invention, the warp threads are made of chemical fibers, which gives the material durability, while the weft threads are made of natural fibers, which makes it possible to obtain a fabric that is soft to the touch and flexible, making it suitable for transportation equipment. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0014] [Figure 1] 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of an interior material for transportation equipment according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of an interior material for transportation equipment according to the present invention. The interior material for transportation equipment 1 is made of a fabric used for the interior of transportation equipment such as automobiles (vehicles), ships, and aircraft. The interior of transportation equipment can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as seats such as the driver's seat and passenger seats, and wall materials that form the surfaces of the interior walls, and is not limited to these uses. However, the interior material for transportation equipment 1 of the present invention is made of a fabric and is made of woven fibers.

[0016] The fabric 10 constituting the transportation equipment interior material 1 is a fabric woven with warp threads 20 and weft threads 30, with the warp threads 20 being synthetic fibers and the weft threads 30 being fibers containing at least natural fibers. Here, the phrase "weft threads 30 are made of fibers containing at least natural fibers" means that the weft threads 30 may be made of only natural fibers, or may be made of both natural fibers and synthetic fibers.

[0017] Regarding the configuration of the weft thread 30, it is possible to use threads of different fiber materials (for example, a natural fiber thread and a chemical fiber thread) for the weft thread 30, but it is also possible to use a blend of natural and chemical fibers for the weft thread 30.

[0018] The weave of the fabric 10 may also be a twill weave instead of a plain weave. For example, the fabric may be woven such that the warp threads 20 pass over two or three weft threads 30, and then pass under one weft thread 30 repeatedly.

[0019] The following describes specific types of fibers used for the warp threads 20 and the weft threads 30. First, the warp threads 20 are chemical fibers such as vinylon fibers, polyester fibers, PET fibers, and nylon fibers.

[0020] The natural fibers used for the weft threads 30 are natural fibers such as silk, cotton, etc. The chemical fibers used for the weft threads 30 are the same as the chemical fibers used for the warp threads 20.

[0021] The chemical fibers and natural fibers are not limited to virgin materials, but may be recycled materials that have been used for textiles. In particular, silk, which is a natural fiber, can be recycled silk from kimonos.

[0022] According to the interior material 1 for transportation equipment configured as described above, the warp threads 20 are made of chemical fibers, so the material is durable, while the weft threads 30 are made of natural fibers, so the fabric 10 is soft to the touch and flexible, making it suitable for transportation equipment.

[0023] The present invention allows various embodiments and modifications without departing from the broad spirit and scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the above-described embodiments are intended to explain the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. That is, the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, not the embodiments. Various modifications made within the scope of the claims and the meaning of the invention equivalent thereto are considered to be within the scope of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]

[0024] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an interior material for transportation equipment that is made of a fabric that is durable, yet soft and flexible to the touch. [Explanation of symbols]
