Double-sided shirred printed towel fabric.

Abstract

To provide a double-sided shirred printed towel fabric that is prevented from becoming heavy and bulky and has good coloring. [Means for solving the problem] The fabric comprises a ground structure with ground yarns, and pile yarns rising from the ground structure to both the front and back surfaces 1 and 2. The pile yarns are cut piles that are shirred on both the front and back surfaces 1 and 2. Printing by inkjet or the like is applied to the cut piles on both the front and back surfaces 1 and 2, thereby providing a printed towel fabric in which both the front and back surfaces 1 and 2 are colored by printing.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to towelling, and more particularly to double-sided cut pile towelling. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, coloring towel fabrics was typically done by expressing woven patterns using yarn-dyed yarns, but today, patterns are also printed on towel products. However, when printing on the pile surface, unevenness in the print occurs depending on the pile orientation, and only low-resolution printing is possible. For this reason, as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3, in order to print patterns at high resolution, shirring is performed to cut the pile or the pile surface is raised before printing. Such printed towel fabrics are often printed on only one side; when printing on both sides, two pieces of towel fabric are glued or sewn together. While such double-layered towel fabrics have a heavy feel, they have the drawback of being heavy and bulky. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] The problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a double-sided shirred printed toweling fabric that is not heavy and bulky and has good coloring. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention provides a printed toweling fabric having a ground weave and pile yarns rising from the ground weave to both sides, and colored by printing. The pile yarns are cut pile yarns that are shirred on both sides. The coloring by printing is applied to the cut pile yarns on both sides. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] The present invention has made it possible to provide a double-sided shirred printed toweling fabric that is not heavy and bulky and has good coloring. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] 1A and 1B are front and back views of a cheering towel made of double-sided shirred printed towel fabric according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] (A) (B) Schematic diagram of a cross section of a main part of a towel cloth according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 shows the front and back surfaces 1 and 2 of a cheering towel using a double-sided shirred printed towel fabric according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 shows the same printed towel fabric. As shown in Fig. 2(A), this towel fabric is a so-called double-sided towel, with a ground structure 11 in which the base of pile yarns 21 are woven or knitted into ground yarns 10, and pile yarns 21 protruding from both the front and back surfaces of the ground structure 11. As shown in Fig. 2(B), the loops of pile yarns 21 have their tips cut by shirring to form cut pile 22.

[0009] In the figure, the structure of the ground fabric 11 is shown to be relatively simple, but it can be modified to have a more complex structure for various purposes, such as to give it a sense of weight or to prevent the cut pile 22 from coming loose.

[0010] Inkjet printing is applied to the shirred terry cloth on both the front and back surfaces 1 and 2. This printing is applied to the shirred cut pile 22 on both the front and back surfaces 1 and 2, and the design etc. can be freely determined as shown in Figure 1 without interfering with each other on either surface. The printing process can be exemplified by printing on the front surface 1, drying, printing on the back surface 2, steaming, and washing, but needless to say, is not limited to this.

[0011] The towel fabric of this embodiment can be used not only as a cheering towel as shown in Figure 1, but also as a towel for bathing or washing, as with regular towel fabric, and for a variety of other purposes, by cutting and processing the edges as appropriate, and can also be used as a towel handkerchief.
