Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a dish towel. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, dishcloths have been used as cleaning tools for wiping tableware, windows, furniture, floors, etc.; as cooking utensils for making soup stock by putting dried bonito flakes or the like in the internal space; as packaging materials for protecting items; and as body towels for wiping humans or animals.

[0003] Known examples of such cloths for such purposes include those formed by overlapping and sewing together multiple layers of mosquito net fabric (for example, Utility Model Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] Utility Model Registration No. 60-83488 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, the above-mentioned cloth towels have a problem in that there is a lower limit to the size of the cloth towels due to the performance of the loom (weaving machine) that produces the cloth towels, making it difficult to produce cloth towels that are compact in size.

[0006] In view of the above, the present invention aims to provide a cloth towel that is compact in size. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In the cloth of the present invention, at least a portion of the peripheral edge of the mosquito net fabric that is overlapped by folding the mosquito net fabric is sewn together.

[0008] The cloth of this invention makes it possible to produce compact cloths that were difficult to produce using conventional looms.

[0009] In the cloth of the above invention, It is preferable that the mosquito net fabric has linear symmetry with respect to a reference axis line, and at least a portion of the peripheral portion of the mosquito net fabric overlapped by folding it with the reference axis line as a folding line is sewn together.

[0010] According to the cloth of this invention, the mosquito net fabric is laminated evenly over the entire surface of the cloth, which improves the convenience of the cloth.

[0011] In the cloth of the above invention, It is preferred that only a portion of the periphery of the mosquito net fabric is sewn together to form the opening.

[0012] According to the cloth of this invention, for example, when the opening is adjusted to a size that allows a person's hand to enter, the user of the cloth can use the cloth with his / her hand inserted from the opening into the inside of the cloth. Therefore, for example, when the cloth is used as a cleaning tool, the user can wipe the object to be cleaned while firmly holding the cloth. In addition, it becomes easier to transmit an appropriate friction force to the object to be cleaned, improving cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, in terms of hygiene, it becomes easier for outside air to be taken into the inside of the cloth through the opening after use as a cleaning tool, improving the drying performance of the cloth and suppressing the proliferation of bacteria.

[0013] In the cloth of the above invention, The mosquito net fabric is preferably a laminate made up of a plurality of mosquito net fabrics.

[0014] According to the cloth of the present invention, it is possible to provide a cloth made of a multi-layer mosquito net fabric, which cannot be produced by conventional looms, and therefore the water absorbency and durability of the cloth can be improved. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0015] [Figure 1] 1 is a conceptual diagram showing one embodiment of the cloth of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing the mosquito net fabric used in the dishcloth of the present invention. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of a variation of the sewing points of the cloth of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing a cloth 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, the cloth 10 comprises a mosquito net fabric 11 and a stitching member 12 (shown by the broken line).

[0017] Here, the mosquito net fabric is a woven fabric in which a mesh structure is formed by crossing the warp and weft threads at a predetermined distance during weaving. The thread material for the mosquito net fabric can be cotton, hemp, rayon, or a blend of these materials.

[0018] In the cloth towel 10, at least a part of the peripheral portion of the overlapping mosquito net woven fabric 11 that is formed by folding the mosquito net woven fabric 11 is sewn together by a sewing member 12. At that time, the mosquito net woven fabric 11 may be folded once or may be folded twice or more.

[0019] This makes it possible to produce compact sized mosquito net fabric dishcloths, which was difficult to produce using conventional looms.

[0020] Dishcloths manufactured by conventional looms are generally available in sizes of 30 cm length x 30 cm width, but when trying to use such existing dishcloths for wiping tableware, for example, the dishcloths are folded twice into four in order to ensure absorbency, etc. On the other hand, with the dishcloth 10 of the present invention, the folding process can be omitted, improving time performance when wiping tableware.

[0021] 2, it is preferable that the mosquito net fabric 11 is symmetrical about the reference axis C. The mosquito net fabric 11 is folded with the reference axis C as the folding line 11A, and the cloth towel 10 is formed by folding the mosquito net fabric 11 with the reference axis C as the folding line 11A, and sewing together the peripheral portions of the overlapping mosquito net fabric 11.

[0022] As a result, the mosquito net fabric is laminated evenly over the entire surface of the cloth, improving the convenience of the cloth.

[0023] In addition, when the mosquito net fabric 11 is said to have line symmetry with respect to the reference axis C, this does not mean that the fabric has line symmetry in the strict mathematical sense, and deviations may occur.

[0024] Furthermore, the shape of the mosquito net woven fabric 11 is not limited to the square shown in FIG. 2, but may be a rectangle other than a square, a polygonal shape such as a triangle, a pentagon, or a hexagon, or a circle.

[0025] Furthermore, the number of mosquito net woven fabrics 11 used in the cloth 10 is not limited to one, and it is preferable to use a laminate in which a plurality of mosquito net woven fabrics are laminated as the mosquito net woven fabric 11. By using a laminate in which a plurality of mosquito net woven fabrics are laminated as the mosquito net woven fabric 11 in the cloth 10, it is possible to provide a cloth made of a number of layers of mosquito net woven fabric that cannot be produced by conventional looms.

[0026] When a cloth towel made of multiple layers of mosquito net fabric is manufactured using a conventional loom, the maximum number of layers of the mosquito net fabric is 7. On the other hand, if a cloth towel 10 uses a laminate as the mosquito net fabric 11, it is possible to provide a cloth towel 10 with 8 layers of mosquito net fabric by using 4 sheets of mosquito net fabric, which was previously impossible to manufacture.

[0027] By increasing the number of layers of the mosquito net fabric, the water absorbency and durability of the cloth towels can be improved compared to conventional cloth towels. Similarly, the cushioning and heat retention of the cloth towels are improved, so that when the cloth towels are used as packaging materials for protecting articles, the protective performance of the packaged items is improved.

[0028] When the mosquito net woven fabric 11 is a laminate in which a plurality of mosquito net woven fabrics are laminated, the materials of the mosquito net woven fabrics of each layer may be the same or different. For example, by using rayon as the material of the mosquito net woven fabric placed on the surface of the cloth towel 10 and cotton as the material of the mosquito net woven fabric placed on the inside of the cloth towel 10, the surface of the cloth towel 10 can be secured with gloss and dyeability by the rayon, while the inside of the cloth towel 10 can be secured with breathability and durability by the cotton.

[0029] The sewing portion where the mosquito net fabric 11 is sewn with the sewing member 12 may be at least a part of the opposing peripheral edges of the mosquito net fabric 11. In other words, the cloth 10 may be made by sewing at least a part of the opposing peripheral edges of the mosquito net fabric 11.

[0030] Here, the material of the thread used as the suture member 12 may be natural materials such as cotton, linen, silk, etc., synthetic materials such as polyester, nylon, rayon, polyurethane, etc., or a blended material made by mixing two or more natural and / or synthetic materials.

[0031] Fig. 3 shows an example (first cloth width 10A to eighth cloth width 10H) of variations in the sewing locations where the mosquito net woven fabric 11 is sewn together by the sewing member 12. Hereinafter, the upper portion of the first cloth width 10A to eighth cloth width 10H shown in Fig. 3 will be referred to as the upper side, the lower portion of the first cloth width 10A to eighth cloth width 10H shown in Fig. 3 will be referred to as the lower side, the rightward portion of the first cloth width 10A to eighth cloth width 10H shown in Fig. 3 will be referred to as the right side, and the leftward portion of the first cloth width 10A to eighth cloth width 10H shown in Fig. 3 will be referred to as the left side.

[0032] In the first cloth 10A, all of the opposing peripheral edges of the mosquito net fabric 11 are sewn together with the sewing member 12. That is, the first cloth 10A is sewn together with the sewing member 12 on the upper side, lower side, and left side.

[0033] As shown in the second cloth 10B, the third cloth 10C, the fourth cloth 10D, and the fifth cloth 10E, it is preferable that the cloth 10 has a portion of the opposing peripheral edge of the mosquito net woven fabric 11 sewn together with a sewing member 12, and that the cloth 10 has an opening 13 formed therein for inserting a hand into the inside of the cloth 10.

[0034] This allows the user to use the cloth 10 with their hand inserted inside the cloth 10 through the opening 13. Therefore, for example, when using the cloth as a cleaning tool, the user can wipe the surface of the object to be cleaned while firmly gripping the cloth 10. In addition, since an appropriate frictional force is easily transmitted to the object to be cleaned, cleaning efficiency is improved.

[0035] Furthermore, since outside air can easily be taken into the inside of the cloth 10 through the opening 13, the drying function of the cloth 10 is improved when it gets wet. Therefore, when the cloth 10 is used as a cleaning tool, the proliferation of bacteria and the like can be suppressed when the cloth gets wet. In other words, this is an advantageous form in terms of hygiene as well.

[0036] The stitching locations of the second cloth width 10B to the eighth cloth width 10H will be described in detail. The second cloth width 10B is sewn together at the top and left side with the stitching member 12. The third cloth width 10C is sewn together at the left side with the stitching member 12. The fourth cloth width 10D is sewn together at the top and bottom with the stitching member 12. The fifth cloth width 10E is sewn together at the top with the stitching member 12.

[0037] The sixth cloth towel 10F is sewn at the top, bottom, right side, and left side with a sewing member 12. In other words, the entire periphery of the periphery of the cloth towel 10 is sewn. This improves the durability of the cloth towel.

[0038] The seventh cloth 10G is sewn at the top, bottom, and along the left-right center of the cloth by the sewing member 12. The eighth cloth 10H is sewn at the top, bottom, left side, and along the up-down center of the cloth by the sewing member 12. In other words, the sewing points of the cloth of the present invention do not have to include the center part of the cloth.

[0039] As described above, according to the present invention, a cloth towel 10 having a compact size can be provided. [Explanation of symbols]
