Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a chambray-like knitted fabric with an excellent unique color effect.

Conventionally, in order to obtain a chambray-like knitted fabric, which has a special unique effect, two or more different colored yarns that are different from each other and are said to be hue-opposite are used in the knitting fabric, and they are twisted together. Some methods of processing, mixing with a fluid, blending fibers, or knitting them together (plating) can produce a special, unique effect.

In addition, there have been knitting structures in which the above-mentioned different colored yarns are arranged in a striped, lattice, etc. pattern to obtain the same effect.

However, these are all two-dimensional Chambray effects, and do not necessarily fully satisfy consumer tastes.

An object of the present invention is to further improve the conventional knitted fabric that only has a two-dimensional chambray effect, and to provide a knitted fabric that has a three-dimensional chambray effect.

That is, the present invention covers the surface of the knitted fabric with high piles or raised piles and low height piles or raised piles, and the high piles or raised piles and the low piles or raised piles are different from each other, and are different from each other in the course direction. , and the chambray-like knitted fabric is characterized in that each stitch is alternately arranged in the wale direction.

The present invention will be explained in detail below.

The knitted fabric of the present invention has its surface covered with tall piles or raised piles and short piles or raised piles. To obtain high pile or piloerection and low pile or piloerection,
One example is to use a sinker pile knitting machine capable of two-stage pile knitting to obtain a high pile and a low pile using a pile with a long loop length and a pile with a short loop length. There is a method of cutting it and making it stand up (velor).

Another example of using a pile knitting machine is to make a pile knitted fabric using yarn of a different color and with a difference in shrinkage, and then cut the tip of the pile to create a raised (velour) fabric.
There is a method in which the raised hair is heated and then heated to impart height to the raised hair.

In yet another example, a double-sided knitting machine first knits a yarn to be formed into a pile and a yarn consisting of soluble fibers in a conventional manner, and then dissolves and removes the soluble fibers to form a pile of soluble fibers. There is a method of forming the loops of the yarn fed as a pile. At this time, if the yarns that are to be used to form the pile have a difference in shrinkage rate, it is possible to form a high pile and a low pile.

In the knitted fabric of the present invention, the surface of the knitted fabric is covered with high piles or raised piles and low piles or raised piles as described above, but in this case, the high piles or raised piles and the low piles or raised piles are arranged in the course direction. , and arranged alternately in the wale direction.

FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing the arrangement of piles covering the surface of the knitted fabric of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, H indicates a high pile, L indicates a low pile, C indicates a course direction, and W indicates a wale direction. As is clear from FIG. 1, H and L are alternately arranged in the course direction, and are also alternately arranged in the wale direction. Furthermore, by cutting off the tip of the pile, high raised piles and low raised piles can be arranged alternately in both the course direction and the wale direction.

In this case, the difference in height between high piles or raised piles and low piles or raised piles is 2.5 of the distance between wales or courses of piles or raised piles.
It is preferable that it is within twice that. If this difference exceeds 2.5 times, the lower objects become shadows and the higher objects become difficult to see, impairing the effect of chambray.

Next, in the knitted fabric of the present invention, the high pile or raised pile and the low pile or raised pile must be different from each other.

The degree of different colors can be selected as appropriate, but of course, if the colors are hue-opposite to each other, the Chambray effect will be significant.

Since the present invention has such a configuration, it has a Chambray effect, and what is different from the conventional method is that a three-dimensional Chambray effect can be obtained.

In other words, with conventional chambray-like knitted fabrics, the same chambray effect could be obtained no matter which direction it was viewed from, but with the knitted fabric of the present invention, the angle changes when viewed from directly above, diagonally, etc. Since the pile or raised hair has different heights, an iridescent effect can be obtained, so to speak, a three-dimensional chambray effect can be obtained.

Furthermore, the yarn used for high pile or raised hair used in the knitted fabric of the present invention and the yarn used for low pile or raised hair are considerably thinner than the yarn that does not form pile or raised hair (ground yarn), and each of the three If there is a different color than the color, in addition to the Chambray effect caused by high and low colors,
Because the ground yarn is transparent, it creates a unique effect of three or more colors, creating a three-dimensional and complex chambray effect.

Examples will be explained below.

Example 1 A 28 gauge sinker pile knitting machine capable of knitting two laces and two stages of piles, using polyester fiber yarn (SD75 denier, 36 filaments) for high piles.
and rayon fiber yarn (SD75 denier, 24 filaments) for the low pile, while the high pile and low pile are 2.2 in height.
mm, and the low piles were arranged to have a height of 1.5 mm as shown in Figure 1. The thus obtained pile knitted fabric was counter-dyed with the polyester fiber threads in red and the rayon fiber threads in green. Looking at the pile surface, a good chambray-like knitted fabric with different hues depending on the angle was obtained.

Example 2 When knitting with a cross-smith structure as shown in Fig. 2 on a 36-gauge double-sided knitting machine, cationic dyeable polyester fiber yarn a was used for the first yarn feeding and fourth yarn feeding.
(SD50 denier, 24 filaments), and for dial knitting, ordinary polyester fiber thread c
(SD30 denier, 12 filament) is plated (used as presser thread), and the second and fifth yarns are
Using high-shrinkage normal polyester fiber yarn b (SD30 denier, 12 filaments), the above-mentioned yarn c is plated for dial knitting, and water-soluble fiber yarn is used for the third and sixth yarn feeding. After knitting a knitted fabric using the thread d, the water-soluble fiber threads are dissolved and removed when finishing with different color dyeing according to a conventional method, and the stitches corresponding to the water-soluble fibers are removed to form pile stitches. This made it possible to obtain a chambray-like knitted fabric.

Figure 2 shows an organization chart for cross-smith knitting, in which the numbers on the left side indicate the number of each yarn feeder, and the symbols on the right side indicate the type of yarn fed to each yarn feeder.
a represents a cationic dyeable polyester fiber yarn, b represents a highly shrinkable ordinary polyester fiber yarn, c represents an ordinary polyester fiber yarn, and d represents a water-soluble fiber yarn.

Also, in Fig. 2, the × marks are stitches made with cylinder needles, the 〇 marks are stitches made with dial needles, and the □ marks are stitches made with dial needles only, played with presser thread. Indicates that the
