Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a toweling fabric with cut pile, and more particularly to a toweling fabric in which lame yarn is effectively arranged. [Background technology]

[0002] It is well known that woven fabrics primarily made of cotton yarn use lamé yarn in part to enhance their decorativeness, as shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2. For terry cloth, cotton is the primary raw material, and highly absorbent materials tend to be preferred. On the other hand, lamé yarn is typically made by vacuum-depositing aluminum or silver onto a polyester base film, which is then coated with resin. Compared to cotton yarn, it has a higher aspect ratio, a lower coefficient of friction, and is expensive. Furthermore, because lamé yarn has low absorbency, the absorbency of the entire terry cloth tends to decrease as the amount of lamé yarn used increases. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Registered Utility Model No. 3160179 [Patent Document 2] Registered Utility Model No. 3115576 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] To provide a towel fabric that allows a user to see lamé thread efficiently and that prevents a reduction in the decorative effect of the lamé thread even when the amount of lamé thread used is reduced. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention relates to an improvement in a terry cloth having cut pile protruding from at least the upper surface of the ground structure. The ground structure is a four-pick ground structure consisting of three-pick parallel weft yarns and lame yarns arranged parallel to these, and the lame yarns are arranged at least above the three-pick weft yarns, resulting in a three-dimensional ground structure. The warp yarns include warp yarns and pile yarns. A decorative area having cut pile formed by cutting the loop tips of the pile yarns is formed in all or part of the terry cloth. The decorative area is characterized in that the lame yarns arranged above the weft yarns are exposed upward between the cut pile yarns. In carrying out the present invention, the weft yarns may be thicker than the lame yarns. The fabric may also be characterized in that it comprises a front lame thread section in which the lame thread is arranged above the weft thread with three picks, and a back lame thread section in which the lame thread is arranged below the weft thread with three picks, and the decorative area is the front lame thread section, which is the area in which the cut pile is arranged. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] To provide a towel fabric that can efficiently show lamé threads to a user and can suppress a reduction in the decorative effect of the lamé threads even when the amount of the lamé threads used is reduced. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. [Overall structure]

[0009] The terry cloth shown in Figure 1 is a double-sided terry cloth with cut pile protruding from at least the entire surface of the ground weave. This terry cloth has a front lame thread portion FL and a back lame thread portion BL, and the front lame thread portion FL forms a decorative area D where the lame thread L can be seen between the cut pile. [Organization Overview]

[0010] This terry cloth is woven according to a standard method from pile fabric, and the ground weave uses three parallel weft yarns w1 to w3, plus a lame yarn L placed above or below them, for a total of four weft yarns. In contrast, the warp uses four warp yarns g1 to g4. Pile yarns p1 and p2 are woven as warp threads into the ground structure made up of these yarns, forming pile loops that protrude above and below (i.e., on the front and back). [About weft and warp threads g1 to g4]

[0011] Various yarns can be used for the weft yarns w1 to w3 and the warp yarns g1 to g4, such as cotton yarn, which is widely used in toweling. Of course, in addition to natural yarns such as cotton yarn, synthetic fiber yarns can also be used, and blends of these can also be used, and various forms can be used to add and improve various functions such as strength, water absorption, water retention, and light blocking properties. [About Lame Thread L]

[0012] The lame thread L is a long, filamentous body made by processing threads or films with decorative materials with high reflective properties such as metal foil, and enhances the decorative effect by allowing the viewer to see strong reflected light such as metallic reflection. The lame yarn L is arranged above or below the parallel weft yarns w1 to w3, so that the ground weave of this toweling fabric has a three-dimensional structure. The change in the vertical position of the lame thread L is realized by adjusting its relationship with the warp threads and the vertical position of the warp threads on the loom. The thickness of each thread can be changed in various ways, but since the lame thread L is arranged above and below the weft threads w1 to w3, it is preferable from the viewpoint of the stability of the structure that the weft threads w1 to w3 are thicker than the lame thread L. Specifically, the thickness of the weft threads w1 to w3 is 20 s ~15 s is appropriate, and if two-ply yarn is used, 20 s (40 / 2)~15 s A suitable thickness is (30 / 2). In contrast, a thickness of 100D to 160D for the lame yarn L is appropriate. In the ground weave, it is preferable that the lame yarn L be positioned so that it does not come into contact with the pile yarns p1 and p2. Because the pile yarns p1 and p2 are cut, care must be taken to prevent them from slipping out. However, the pile yarns p1 and p2 are securely held in place by being woven with weft yarns w1 to w3, such as cotton yarns, that have sufficient thickness. Meanwhile, the slippery lame yarn L, which has a small coefficient of friction, does not come into direct contact with the pile yarns p1 and p2, thereby preventing a decrease in the holding power of the pile yarns p1 and p2. Thus, the towel fabric according to this embodiment achieves effective decoration using a small amount of lame yarn L while maintaining the holding power of the pile yarns p1 and p2. [About pile yarns p1 and p2]

[0013] There are no particular restrictions on the pile yarns p1 and p2, and any yarns commonly used in terry cloth can be appropriately selected. Alternatively, yarns similar to the weft yarns w1 to w3 and warp yarns g1 to g4 described above can also be used.

[0014] These pile yarns p1 and p2 form pile loops above and below the ground fabric (or above in the case of single-sided pile) according to the standard method. After weaving, the ends of the loops are cut by shearing to form cut pile. Other Embodiments

[0015] 3 and 4 show toweling according to another embodiment. This example shows a patterned fabric, in which different colors are used for pile yarns p1 and p2. In this example, too, the decorative area D is formed by providing a surface lame yarn portion FL in which lame yarn L is placed on top of weft yarns w1 to w3, and the two types of pile yarns p1 and p2 used there create a more diverse pattern.

[0016] In this way, when implementing the present invention, various other decorative techniques can be used in combination, and printing may be performed after weaving.

[0017] As described above, the towel fabric according to the embodiment of the present invention has a three-dimensional ground structure in which lamé yarns are arranged at least above (selectively above and below) the three-pick weft yarns, and by forming cut pile, even if the amount of lamé yarn used is reduced, the decorative effect can be effectively conveyed to the user's visual sense, as shown in Figure 5. Moreover, because the cut pile is securely held in place by the ground structure, thread loss can be suppressed to the same extent as with regular cut pile. [Explanation of symbols]
