Textiles with reflective threads

Abstract

The objective is to provide a textile having reflective threads. [Solution] The invention comprises a textile having non-reflective threads that do not reflect light, and one or more reflective threads incorporated into the textile by methods such as weaving, sewing, machine sewing, embroidery, or jacquard weaving, exposed on at least one surface of the textile, having a color, which is the same color as, different from, or contrasting with the color of the textile. If the color of the reflective threads is the same color as the textile, the reflective threads are difficult to distinguish from the textile and appear as if they are hidden within the textile. If the color of the reflective threads is different from or contrasting with the color of the textile, the reflective threads are conspicuously visible on the textile. If a colored pattern on the textile consists of reflective and non-reflective threads of the same color, and the color of the pattern is different from the color of the textile, the reflective threads remain hidden within the textile.

Description

Technical Field

[0007] ,

[0001] The present invention relates to textiles, and more particularly to textiles having reflective yarns configured such that the reflective yarns are hidden in the textile or are color-contrasted with the textile.

Background Art

[0002] The inventor has made efforts to improve the safety of people at night or in dimly lit places, and has developed Patent Document 1 that provides a textile with safety features by incorporating reflective yarns into the textile, thereby imparting a reflective function to the clothing of the wearer.

[0003] By incorporating reflective yarns into the textile, the safety expected by the inventor can be surely achieved.

[0004] The reflective yarn has a glass microsphere and an aluminum coating layer, thereby presenting a silver appearance, and conventional reflective yarns do not have colors other than silver. However, since there are various colors in clothing, a color difference occurs between the color of the reflective yarn and the color of the clothing, and the reflective yarn is easily distinguishable on the clothing.

[0005] Also, in color science, in clothing design, a technique of making a specific pattern stand out by contrasting it with the background color of the clothing is adopted. However, since conventional reflective yarns are single-colored, they could not meet the design requirement of contrasting the color of the reflective yarn with the color of the clothing.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] The inventors of this invention devised this invention with the aim of further improving the perfection of the application of reflective yarn to textiles. One objective of this invention is to provide a textile having reflective yarn such that the reflective yarn is concealed within the textile and is only visible when it reflects light.

[0008] One object of the present invention is to provide a textile having reflective yarn, wherein the reflective yarn has a color and is configured to be the same color as, different from, or contrasting with the background color of the textile. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The textile having reflective yarn provided by the present invention is A textile comprising non-reflective yarn that does not reflect light and having at least one color, It includes one or more reflective threads incorporated into the textile by methods such as weaving, sewing, machine sewing, embroidery, or jacquard weaving, exposed on at least one surface of the textile, having any color other than silver, and being the same color, different color, or contrasting color of the textile.

[0010] Therefore, when the reflective yarn and the textile are the same color, it becomes difficult to distinguish the reflective yarn from the non-reflective yarn of the textile when the reflective yarn is not reflecting light, and the reflective yarn appears to be hidden within the textile. When the reflective yarn reflects light, it becomes possible to distinguish between the reflective yarn and the non-reflective yarn.

[0011] If the color of the reflective yarn is different from or contrasting with the color of the non-reflective yarn of the textile, the reflective yarn will be conspicuously visible on the textile. In particular, if the reflective yarn forms a pattern on the surface of the textile, the pattern will be even more conspicuously visible on the textile.

[0012] A textile having another reflective yarn provided by the present invention is, A textile comprising non-reflective yarn that does not reflect light and having at least one color, The textile is incorporated by methods such as weaving, sewing, machine sewing, embroidery, or jacquard weaving, and is exposed on at least one surface of the textile. It includes one or more reflective threads, each having a translucent, colored coating layer made of a resin material, which exhibits color when covered by the coating layer, and the color is the same color as, different from, or contrasting with the color of the textile.

[0013] Even if a colored pattern on a textile is formed using reflective and non-reflective threads of the same color, and the color of the pattern differs from the background color of the textile, the reflective threads will still be visible hidden within the textile, despite having a different color from the background color.

[0014] Preferably, the reflective yarn forms at least one pattern on at least one surface of the textile, and when the reflective yarn reflects light, the pattern is formed as a reflective pattern.

[0015] Preferably, the design consists of multiple reflective threads and multiple non-reflective threads, with one or more non-reflective threads placed between two adjacent reflective threads.

[0016] Preferably, the reflective threads and non-reflective threads constituting the design are the same color or different colors, so that the design is either monochromatic or multicolored.

[0017] Preferably, at least one pattern is formed on at least one surface of the textile, the pattern consists of reflective and non-reflective threads of the same color, and the color of the pattern is different from the background color of the textile.

[0018] Preferably, the coating layer is a resin containing silane.

[0019] Preferably, a transparent pigment is added to the resin of the coating layer.

[0020] Preferably, the reflective yarn includes a base material layer having two surfaces, at least one reflective member provided on at least one surface of the base material layer, and a coating layer covering the base material layer and the reflective member.

[0021] Preferably, the reflective member is a glass microsphere, and a reflective layer is provided on the surface of the glass microsphere.

[0022] The object, features, and effects of the present invention can be understood from the following description of the preferred embodiments and the drawings.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0024] The present invention relates to textiles having reflective yarns, which are woven fabrics made using fibers and yarns, but also include unwoven fabrics, such as nonwoven fabrics. The textiles of the present invention include reflective yarns and non-reflective yarns. Reflective yarns refer to various yarns, fibers, filaments, etc., that can be used for woven or nonwoven applications other than reflective yarns. As used herein, the term "yarn" means yarn, thread, fiber, filament, etc.

[0025] Referring to Figure 1, this is a photograph of the reflective yarn 10 used in the present invention (shown in black and white in this specification). The reflective yarn 10 is a thread-like material with a thin diameter. The diameter (width) of the reflective yarn 10 is 0.15 mm to 1 mm, preferably less than 0.5 mm, 0.2 to 0.5 mm, and particularly in the range of 0.25 to 0.38 mm. More preferably, it is in the range of 0.20 mm to 0.35 mm. The reflective yarn 10 is colored, becoming a colored reflective yarn. The reflective yarn 10 can be used as a textile weaving yarn, sewing yarn, machine thread, or embroidery thread for applications such as knitting, sewing, machine sewing, electronic embroidery, and jacquard weaving.

[0026] Figure 2 shows the structure of an embodiment of the reflective yarn 10 of the present invention. The reflective yarn 10 includes a base layer 12 having two surfaces (top and bottom surfaces shown in Figure 2) located opposite each other, a reflective member which is bonded to the two surfaces of the base layer 12 via two adhesive layers 16 to form two layers of glass microspheres, with the outer surfaces of the glass microspheres exposed from the adhesive layers 16, a plurality of glass microspheres 14, two reflective layers 18 provided on the inner surfaces of the two layers of glass microspheres 14, and a covering layer 20 which covers the entire outer surface of the reflective yarn 10, i.e., the top surface, bottom surface and two sides of the reflective yarn, and encloses the glass microspheres. The covering layer 20 is made of a resin material, has light transmittance, and can be any color such as black, red, blue, white, yellow, green, orange, brown, gray, purple, silver, etc., but is not limited to these. The covering layer 20 can be made in a light color or a dark color. The coating layer 20 is the outermost layer of the reflective yarn 10, and the color of the coating layer 20 is the same as the color of the reflective yarn 10.

[0027] The base layer 12 may be an elastic polymer or an inelastic polymer. If it is an elastic polymer, it can be selected from materials such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPE), polyurethane (PU), thermoplastic elastic material (TPU), thermoplastic rubber (TPR), or silicone, but is not limited to these. If it is an inelastic polymer, it can be selected from materials such as polyester, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC), stretched polypropylene (OPP), or nylon, but is not limited to these. The base layer 12 may be a fabric instead of a polymer.

[0028] The adhesive layer 16 is made of a resin material, and any resin used as an adhesive can be used as the material for the adhesive layer 16. Preferably, the adhesive layer 16 is a polyurethane adhesive or an acrylic acid adhesive.

[0029] The reflective layer 18 is made of aluminum or silver, but is not limited to these materials. A reflective layer 18 made of aluminum or silver has high reflectivity and can provide high-lumen reflected light. The reflective layer 18 may also be made of other materials, such as zinc sulfide.

[0030] The coating layer 20 may be a resin containing acrylic acid and silane, a resin containing thermoplastic polyurethane and silane, or a resin which is a mixture of acrylic acid, silane and thermoplastic polyurethane. The coating layer 20 can adhere well to both the adhesive layer 16 and the glass microspheres 14, so that the glass microspheres 14 are adhered to the adhesive layer 16 and covered with the coating layer 20 and do not easily fall off the reflective threads.

[0031] The resin components of the coating layer 20 include a pigment (e.g., transparent ink), an auxiliary agent (i.e., silane), a crosslinking agent (curing agent), a TPU resin, and an organic solvent (VOC). Alternatively, another component of the resin of the coating layer 20 includes a pigment, an auxiliary agent (i.e., silane), a crosslinking agent, an acrylic resin, and an organic solvent.

[0032] The resin component of the coating layer 20 includes silane and a pigment, wherein the pigment is a highly transparent dye or colorant, and the light shielding rate of the highly transparent pigment is low and does not obstruct light transmitted through the coating layer 20. The silane may be oil-based or water-based, and the transparent pigment is a highly transparent ink, which may be water-based or oil-based. The reflectance value of the reflective yarn 10 having the coating layer 20 of the present invention reaches 200 to 400 lumens.

[0033] Figure 3 shows the structure of another embodiment of the reflective yarn 10 of the present invention, which is the same structure as the reflective yarn 10 shown in Figure 2, and includes a base layer 12, two glass microsphere layers consisting of a plurality of glass microspheres 14, two adhesive layers 16, two reflective layers 18, and a coating layer 20. The plurality of glass microspheres 14 are each bonded to two surfaces of the base layer 12 via the two adhesive layers 16, and the coating layer 20 is the outermost layer of the reflective yarn, covering the entire reflective yarn. In the reflective yarn 10 of Figure 3, there is a gap 141 between two adjacent glass microspheres 14, and in the gap 141, the thickness 21 of the coating layer 20 is formed to be thicker than in other parts, so that the amount of ink in the coating layer that accumulates in the gap 141 increases, and the color tone of the reflective yarn 10 becomes clearer.

[0034] The reflective yarn 10 of the present invention can be used as a weaving yarn and can be used to form a textile together with a non-reflective yarn by knitting or weaving. It is also possible to form a textile, such as a nonwoven fabric, together with a non-reflective yarn by non-knitting or weaving methods. Furthermore, the reflective yarn 10 can be incorporated into a textile as a sewing or embroidery thread by methods such as sewing (hand sewing), machine sewing, electronic embroidery, or jacquard weaving.

[0035] (First Preferred Embodiment) Referring to Figure 4, this is a schematic cross-sectional view of a textile 30 according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the textile 30 is a fabric woven with non-reflective yarns 31 in the warp direction and non-reflective yarns 32 in the weft direction, and can be single-colored or multi-colored. The textiles (30, 30A~30N) disclosed in each embodiment of the present invention may be fabrics formed from various yarn materials. One or more reflective yarns 10 can be incorporated into the textile 30 as sewing threads or embroidery threads by sewing (hand sewing), machine sewing, or electronic embroidery, and each reflective yarn 10 is passed through the textile and has a line segment (part of the yarn) 11 exposed on the front side 34 of the textile 30. The reflective yarn also has a line segment exposed on the back side of the textile. The reflective yarns 10 may be colored the same color as the textile 30. Alternatively, it is preferable that the reflective yarn 10 is colored in a different color from the textile 30, so that the colors of the reflective yarn 10 and the textile 30 are in contrast.

[0036] (Second Preferred Embodiment) Figure 5 is a top view of a textile 30A according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention. A plurality of (e.g., 2 to 4) non-reflective threads 33 and at least one reflective thread 10 of the present invention are sewn onto the textile 30A. The reflective thread 10 is used as a weaving thread, is passed between the plurality of non-reflective threads 33, and is held down by the non-reflective threads 33. In this machine-stitched structure, the reflective thread 10 is called a "passing thread" (or "climbing thread"), is placed only on the front side (one surface) of the textile 30A, and does not pass through the inside of the textile. The color of the reflective thread 10 may be the same as or different from the color of the textile 30A and the non-reflective threads 33.

[0037] (Third Preferred Embodiment) Figure 6 is a top view of a textile 30B according to a third preferred embodiment of the present invention. One non-reflective yarn 33 and one reflective yarn 10 of the present invention are sewn to the textile 30B, and the reflective yarn 10 is used as a weaving thread and is held down by the non-reflective yarn 33 to be fixed to the front side of the textile 30B. The reflective yarn 10 is exposed on the front side of the textile 30B and does not pass through the inside of the textile. The color of the reflective yarn 10 may be the same as or different from the color of the textile 30B and the non-reflective yarn 33.

[0038] (Fourth Preferred Embodiment) Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of a textile 30C according to a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention. One or more reflective threads 10 are used as embroidery threads and electronically embroidered onto the textile 30C to form a reflective pattern on one surface of the textile by embroidering various shapes and designs. The color of the reflective threads 10 may be the same as or different from the color of the textile 30C.

[0039] The textile 30D shown in Figure 8 is a photograph of the actual textile 30A shown in Figure 5. Since textile 30D is black, and the reflective yarn 10 and non-reflective yarn are also black, it is not possible to distinguish between the reflective yarn and the non-reflective yarn in the normal state shown in Figure 8.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 9. When a flashlight or car headlights shine on the textile 30D, the reflective threads 10 on the textile reflect the light, making the reflective threads 10 identifiable, and the reflection by the reflective threads also functions as a safety warning.

[0041] The reflective yarn 10 of the present invention can be used as a weaving yarn and can be woven with non-reflective yarn to create textiles, such as cloth or webbing tape, using various knitting techniques or methods. Furthermore, it can be knitted as a jacquard weave on a fabric using computer knitting technology, and the jacquard pattern may consist of letters, symbols, or figures. The reflective yarn 10 of the present invention can also be used as an embroidery thread, and can be used to form embroidery patterns consisting of letters, symbols, or figures on a fabric.

[0042] Figure 10 is a photograph of a textile 30E, i.e., a zipper, according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. The zipper 30E comprises two pieces of fabric 36 and a plurality of teeth 35 provided on the two pieces of fabric 36. The fabric 36 is a webbing tape woven from black non-reflective yarn (black thread) and a plurality of reflective yarns 10 according to the present invention. In this embodiment, three reflective yarns 10 are woven into each piece of fabric 36, and each reflective yarn 10 has a line segment exposed on the front side of the fabric 36. These reflective yarns 10 are black reflective yarns, the same color as the non-reflective yarns. During the daytime or under normal conditions, the reflective yarns 10 cannot be identified from the appearance of the zipper 30E, and the reflective yarns 10 are integrated with the non-reflective yarns of the fabric 36 and hidden within the textile, making it difficult to distinguish between the reflective and non-reflective yarns. In this specification, when reflective yarn is described as "hidden" or "integrated" with a textile, it does not mean that the reflective yarn is placed within the textile, but rather that it is difficult to distinguish between reflective and non-reflective yarns from the appearance of the textile.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 11. When a strong light, such as that from a flashlight or car headlights, shines on the zipper 30E, the reflective layer (i.e., the glass microsphere layer) and the reflective layer 18 of the reflective thread 10 of the fabric 36 reflect the light, providing a safety effect through reflection, and at the same time, the reflective thread 10 becomes visible on the zipper 30E.

[0044] Figures 12 and 13 show application examples of the textile 30E of the present invention applied to an article. The zipper 30E in Figure 12 is sewn onto a black backpack 37, and the backpack 37 can be opened and closed via the zipper. In the non-reflective state shown in Figure 12, the reflective threads on the zipper 30E are not visible. In a dark place or at night, when light shines on the backpack 37, as shown in Figure 13, the reflective threads 10 on the zipper 30E reflect the light, providing a warning effect, and the reflective threads 10 can be identified by the reflected light.

[0045] (Fifth Preferred Embodiment) Figure 14 is a schematic diagram of the front side 34 of a textile 30F according to a fifth preferred embodiment of the present invention, showing how the reflective yarn 10 of the present invention forms a jacquard pattern 40 on the textile using computer jacquard technology. The jacquard pattern may be a design, lettering, or other style, and in this embodiment, the jacquard pattern is "R". Jacquard weaving is a weaving technique that creates a design (pattern) by weaving, and the jacquard pattern is formed by weaving yarns in different arrangements during weaving, and the design may be a pattern, lettering, figure, etc. A characteristic of jacquard weaving is that the textures of the front and back of the fabric are diametrically opposed. Therefore, it is understood that it is possible to form a design on both the front and back of the textile.

[0046] The textile 30F is woven with non-reflective yarn 38, and the yarns constituting the jacquard pattern 40 include the reflective yarn 10 of the present invention. The jacquard pattern 40 may also be woven with only the reflective yarn 10 of the present invention. In this embodiment, the jacquard pattern 40 is woven with a plurality of reflective yarns 10 and a plurality of non-reflective yarns 42, and each reflective yarn 10 has a plurality of line segments 11 exposed on the front side 34 of the textile 30F, with one or more non-reflective yarns 42 placed between two adjacent reflective yarns 10. This reduces the weight of the textile 30F and makes it possible to reduce costs by reducing the amount of reflective yarn 10 used. Good reflective performance can be maintained due to the visual effect of reflected light. When the reflective yarn 10 reflects light, reflection is formed as a whole jacquard pattern. As shown in Figure 14, three non-reflective threads 38 are woven between two reflective threads 10, and the weaving direction of the reflective threads 10 and the non-reflective threads 38 is the same, but is not limited to this.

[0047] Figure 15 is a photograph of a textile 30G according to another embodiment of the present invention. The textile 30G is a black webbing tape woven with black non-reflective yarn, and one or more jacquard patterns including the letters "SPORT" are woven into the webbing tape. The jacquard pattern 50 in Figure 15 is a single-color jacquard weave woven with black reflective yarn 10 that is exposed on the front side of the webbing tape. When not reflecting light, both the reflective yarn 10 and the non-reflective yarn 38 of the webbing tape 30G (Figure 14) are black, so the reflective yarn 10 and the jacquard pattern 50 cannot be distinguished from the appearance of the webbing tape 30G in Figure 15. The patterns 40 and 50 shown herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not limited thereto.

[0048] Referring to Figures 16 and 17, when a flashlight, car headlights, or similar light source is shone on the webbing tape 30G, the reflective threads 10 on the jacquard pattern 50 reflect the light, making the jacquard pattern 50:SPORT and the reflective threads 10 clearly visible. By reflecting light, the jacquard pattern forms a reflective pattern.

[0049] The photograph in Figure 18 shows a jacquard pattern 50 (the word "SPORT") woven with blue textile (webbing tape) 30H and reflective yarn 10 of the same color. Since both the reflective yarn 10 and the non-reflective yarn woven into the webbing tape 30H are blue, under normal conditions the reflective yarn 10 does not reflect light and becomes the same color as the non-reflective yarn of the webbing tape, making the reflective yarn 10 and the jacquard pattern 50 difficult to see.

[0050] When a flashlight, car headlights, or similar light source shines on the webbing tape 30H, the reflective threads 10 on the webbing tape 30C reflect the light, as shown in the photograph in Figure 19, forming a reflective jacquard pattern 50.

[0051] The photograph in Figure 20 shows four webbing tapes 30 (30I-30L). When light shines on these webbing tapes, the reflective threads 10 (10I-10L) within the jacquard pattern 50 (50I-50L) reflect the light. All four webbing tapes 30 are black webbing tapes woven with non-reflective black threads. The four jacquard patterns 50 each have a different color, with the rightmost jacquard pattern 50I being yellow, creating a clear color contrast with the color of the webbing tapes 30I. The jacquard pattern 50I is woven with yellow reflective threads 10I and yellow non-reflective threads 42I. When no light is shining on the jacquard pattern 50I, the reflective threads 10I do not reflect light, and it is impossible to distinguish between the reflective threads 10I and the non-reflective threads 42I of the same color. When light is shone upon it, the reflective threads 10 within the jacquard pattern 50I reflect the light.

[0052] The jacquard pattern 50J on the second webbing tape 30J from the right is woven with gray reflective yarn 10J and gray non-reflective yarn 42J. The jacquard pattern 50K on the second webbing tape 30K from the left is woven with blue reflective yarn 10K and blue non-reflective yarn 42K. The jacquard pattern 50L on the leftmost webbing tape 30L is woven with white reflective yarn 10L and white non-reflective yarn 42L. In all cases, when not reflecting light, the reflective yarns 10J, 10K, and 10L are fused into the jacquard patterns 50J, 50K, and 50L of the same color, making it difficult to see the reflective yarns.

[0053] In the four webbing tapes shown in Figure 20, the color of the jacquard pattern 50 is different from the color of the webbing tape 30, and the color of the reflective thread 10 is the same as the color of the jacquard pattern 50. In this embodiment, the color of the reflective thread 10 may be different from the color of the jacquard pattern 50 and the color of the webbing tape 30. In this way, the multi-color design of the webbing tape 30 enriches and diversifies the colors of the webbing tape 30 and improves its aesthetic appearance by adding color contrast.

[0054] The colored jacquard pattern 50 of each webbing tape 30 shown in Figure 20 is woven with 12 colored reflective threads 10 of the same color and several colored non-reflective threads 42, while the remaining part of the webbing tape 30 (the part without the jacquard pattern) is woven with threads of a different color. Although the color of the reflective threads is different from the color of the webbing tape, the reflective threads 10 are hidden within the textile 30 and the jacquard pattern, making the jacquard pattern and texture visible during the day, and the reflective threads 10 reflect light at night to provide safety protection.

[0055] Please refer to the photograph in Figure 21. This photograph shows the reverse sides of multiple textiles, including the reverse sides of two webbing tapes 30M and 30N, illuminated from a distance of approximately 10 meters. Because the jacquard pattern has the front and back patterns (textures) reversed, the reverse pattern (texture) 39 of the jacquard pattern "SPORT" does not reflect light on the reverse sides of webbing tapes 30M and 30N. On the other hand, in other locations, the reflective threads 10 are exposed on the reverse side of the webbing tape and reflect light. The reflective and non-reflective aspects of the webbing tape shown in Figure 21 are merely examples and are not limited to them.

[0056] The reflective yarn 10 of the present invention is not limited to silver, but can be manufactured in various colors and can be harmonized with the color of the textile. By blending the colored reflective yarn 10 with a textile of the same color, a subtle concealing effect can be created. By incorporating the colored reflective yarn 10 into a textile of a contrasting or different color, a color difference or color contrast can be created between the reflective yarn or a design made of reflective yarn and the textile, thereby creating a highlighting effect.
