Abstract

The sewing thread comprises a core yarn which consists of continuous, largely fully drawn and fully set synthetic core filaments with a sheathing of fibres or filamentary elements of any desired origin. The core yarn has been folded together with at least one further yarn and then further processed, for example dyed, oiled or waxed. In a particularly easily and inexpensively produced sewing thread, the at least one yarn folded together with the core yarn is a textured, in particular air textured, yarn or a spun yarn which consists of any desired material or mixture of materials.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Nähfaden mit Coregarn, das aus endlosen, weitgehend ausverstreckten und schrumpfarmen synthetischen Seelenfäden mit Ummantelung aus Fasern oder Fadenteilen beliebiger Herkunft und mit mindestens einem weiteren Garn verzwirnt und anschliessend weiterverarbeitet, z.B. gefärbt, geölt oder gewachst ist.The invention relates to a sewing thread with core thread which is twisted from endless, largely stretched and low-shrinkage synthetic core threads with a sheath of fibers or thread parts of any origin and with at least one further thread and then further processed, e.g. colored, oiled or waxed.

Solche für die Nähfadenherstellung üblicherweise eingesetzte Coregarne bestehen aus zwei Komponenten, nämlich einem inneren, in der Regel endlosen, weitgehend ausverstreckten synthetischen Faden (Seelenfaden), der vorzugsweise im Spinnverfahren mit Stapelmaterial aus gerissenen oder geschnittenen Fasern bzw. Fadenteilen so umsponnen wird, daß der Seelenfaden vollkommen abgedeckt ist. Das Umspinnungsmaterial kann in bekannter Weise pflanzlicher, tierischer, synthetischer oder mineralischer Herkunft sowie aus Mischungen dieser Bestandteile gefertigt sein.Such core yarns commonly used for sewing thread production consist of two components, namely an inner, usually endless, largely stretched synthetic thread (core thread), which is preferably spun with staple material made of torn or cut fibers or thread parts so that the core thread is completely covered. The wrapping material can be made in a known manner of vegetable, animal, synthetic or mineral origin as well as from mixtures of these components.

Es ist bereits bekannt (DE-PS 2 436 997) zur Bildung eines Nähfadens der eingangs genannten Art ausschließlich zwei, drei oder mehrere Coregarne des vorerwähnten Aufbaues zusammenzuzwirnen. Zur Erzielung eines weitgehend kringelfreien Nähfadens wird dabei sichergestellt, daß die Zwirndrehungen denen der Spinndehnung entgegenstehen. Diese ausschließlich aus Coregarnen hergestellten Nähfäden besitzen durch die sogenannten Seelenfäden eine hohe Festigkeit. Gleichzeitig sorgen die Fasern oder Fadenteile der Umspinnung dieser Coregarne für eine haarige Oberfläche, die beim Nähvorgang eine Luftkühlung der Nähnadel bewirkt; hier handelt es sich um einen Umstand, der bei schnell und sehr schnell ablaufenden Nähvorgängen von großer Wichtigkeit ist.It is already known (DE-PS 2 436 997) to form a sewing thread of the type mentioned only two, three or more core threads of the above-mentioned structure. To achieve a largely curl-free sewing thread, it is ensured that the twist twists oppose those of the spinning stretch. These sewing threads, which are made exclusively from core threads, have high strength due to the so-called core threads. At the same time, the fibers or thread parts of the covering of these core yarns provide a hairy surface, which causes the sewing needle to be air-cooled during the sewing process; This is a fact that is of great importance for fast and very fast sewing processes.

Diese Vorteile haben zu einem vielseitigen und mengenmäßig großen Einsatz derartiger Nähfäden aus Coregarnen geführt. Die Ausspinnung dieser für die Herstellung der bekannten Nähfäden aus Coregarnen geeigneten Coregarne ist jedoch verhältnismäßig schwierig; sie setzt einwandfrei und genau arbeitende Spinnvorrichtungen und insbesondere ein gut geschultes und gewissenhaft arbeitendes Personal voraus. Aus diesen Gründen ist die Herstellung solcher Coregarne relativ aufwendig; in aller Regel ist sie mit höheren Gestehungskosten verbunden als die einfacher Spinngarne gleicher Materialart.These advantages have led to a versatile and large quantity of such sewing threads made of core yarns. However, spinning these core threads suitable for the production of the known sewing threads from core threads is relatively difficult; it requires impeccable and precise spinning devices and in particular well-trained and conscientiously working personnel. For these reasons, the production of such core yarns is relatively complex; as a rule, it is associated with higher production costs than simple spun yarns of the same type of material.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Nähfaden der eingangs genannten Art so weiter auszubilden, daß er einen vergleichsweise einfacher realisierbaren Aufbau besitzt.The invention has for its object to develop a sewing thread of the type mentioned so that it has a comparatively easier to implement.

Der Nähfaden gemäß der Erfindung, bei dem diese Aufgabe gelöst ist, zeichnet sich im wesentlichen dadurch aus, daß das mindestens eine mit dem Coregam verzwirnte Garn ein textuiertes, insbesondere lufttexturiertes Garn oder ein Spinngarn ist, das aus beliebigem Material bzw. aus Materialmischungen besteht. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß ein derartiger Nähfaden, der nicht ausschließlich aus Coregarnen gefertigt ist, sondern mindestens ein Spinngarn oder ein texturiertes Garn enthält, aufgrund des mit eingezwirnten Coregames, d.h. aufgrund des endlosen synthetischen Seelenfadens trotz günstigerer Gestehungskosten genügend Festigkeit besitzt, während das mit hinzugenommene normale Spinngarn bzw. das texturierte Garn zusammen mit dem Coregam-Umspinnungsmaterial die erwünschte, in geringem Maße rauhe Fadenoberfläche bildet. Überraschenderweise hat sich gezeigt, daß sich das Umspinnungsmaterial des Coregarnes mit dem hinzugenommenen Spinngarn bzw. texturierten Garn gegenseitig abstützt; dadurch wird eine Verschiebung des Umspinnungsmantels des Coregarns sicher verhindert. Diese verschiedenen genannten Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen kombinierten Nähfadens lassen sich jedoch nicht erzielen, wenn - wie bereits vorgeschlagen wurde - mehrere, lediglich unterschiedlich aufgebaute Garne oder Fäden, jedoch ohne Hinzunahme eines oder mehrerer Coregarne zu einem Nähfaden verbunden sind.The sewing thread according to the invention, in which this object is achieved, is essentially characterized in that the at least one yarn twisted with the Coregam is a textured, in particular air-textured yarn or a spinning yarn which consists of any material or material mixtures. It has been shown that such a sewing thread, which is not made exclusively from core threads, but contains at least one spinning thread or a textured thread, due to the core thread interwoven with, i.e. due to the endless synthetic soul thread despite the lower cost, it has enough strength, while the added normal spinning yarn or the textured yarn together with the Coregam wrapping material forms the desired, slightly rough thread surface. Surprisingly, it has been shown that the core material of the core yarn is mutually supported with the added spinning yarn or textured yarn; this reliably prevents a shifting of the core covering of the core yarn. However, these various advantages of the combined sewing thread according to the invention cannot be achieved if — as has already been proposed — several yarns or threads, which have only different designs, are connected to form a sewing thread without adding one or more core threads.

Das Mischen von Stapelfasern natürlichen Ursprungs ist seit Jahrhunderten und das Mischen von Stapelfasern unterschiedlicher Herkunft, d.h. natürlicher Fasern mit künstlichen Fasern zur Erzielung besonderer Effekte bzw. günstiger mechanisch-technologischer Eigenschaften bei geringen Kosten, ist bereits seit Jahrzehnten bekannt, wie sich z.B. aus der ein spezielles Mehrkomponentengarn betreffenden DE-AS 25 07 054 ergibt. Andererseits geht aus der Zeitschrift "Chemiefasern 21, Dezember 1971, Seiten 1037 bis 1042, hervor, daß der Fachmann gewohnt ist, auch Filamentmischgarne aus Chemiefasern herzustellen, die wie normale Multifilamentgarne aufgebaut sind, jedoch möglichst regellos vermischt und über den Garnquerschnitt verteilt sind. Diese bestehen aus mindestens zwei verschiedenen Filamentarten. Dennoch wurden die besonders vorteilhaften Möglichkeiten nicht erkannt und genutzt, den sehr günstige Eigenschaften aufweisenden Nähfaden mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs zu schaffen und einzusetzen und von dessen günstigen Eigenschaften zu profitieren.The blending of staple fibers of natural origin has been going on for centuries and the blending of staple fibers of different origins, i.e. Natural fibers with artificial fibers to achieve special effects or favorable mechanical-technological properties at low costs have been known for decades, as is the case with e.g. from which a special multicomponent yarn DE-AS 25 07 054 results. On the other hand, it appears from the magazine "Chemiefaser 21, December 1971, pages 1037 to 1042, that the person skilled in the art is used to producing filament blended yarns from man-made fibers which are constructed like normal multifilament yarns, but are mixed as randomly as possible and distributed over the yarn cross-section. These consist of at least two different types of filament, but the particularly advantageous possibilities were not recognized and used to create and use the sewing thread with the very favorable properties with the features of the patent claim and to benefit from its favorable properties.

Im Hinblick auf die große Menge an Nähgarnen, die in der Praxis benötigt wird, hat sich der Vorteil des Nähfadens nach der Erfindung, der mit wesentlich geringeren Gestehungskosten verbunden ist, als besonders gravierend herausgestellt. So werden z.B. anstelle der bisher bekannten und üblichen Zusammenfassung von zwei, drei oder mehr Coregarnen für die Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Nähfadens die in der Regel teureren Coregarne nur noch anteilig benötigt.In view of the large amount of sewing threads that are required in practice, the advantage of the sewing thread according to the invention, which is associated with significantly lower production costs, has proven to be particularly serious. For example, Instead of the previously known and usual combination of two, three or more core threads for the production of the sewing thread according to the invention, the generally more expensive core threads are only required proportionately.

Ein weiterer Vorteil des neuen Nähfadens gemäß der Erfindung ist die einfache Kombinationsmöglichkeit der verschiedenen Fadenkomponenten; d.h. es können z.B. zu einem, zwei oder mehreren Coregarnen Garne aus unterschiedlichsten Materialien, darunter auch Mischungen aus verschiedenen Materialien hinzugenommen werden. Die Weiterverarbeitung solcher erfindungsgemäß zusammengesetzter Nähfäden erfolgt in an sich bekannter Weise, d.h. anschließend an die Zwirnung oder eine sonstige Verbindungsmaßnahme, z.B. Verblasung oder Verklebung wird der so hergestellte Nähfaden gefärbt, gewachst, geölt usw., bevor er zu Verkaufsspulen aufgespult wird.Another advantage of the new sewing thread according to the invention is the simple possibility of combining the different thread components; This means, for example, that one, two or more core yarns can be made from different materials, including mixtures of different materials. The further processing of such sewing threads composed according to the invention is carried out in a manner known per se, ie following the twisting or another connecting measure, for example blowing or gluing, the sewing thread thus produced is ge dyes, waxed, oiled, etc. before being wound up into sales spools.

Die Erfindung erschöpft sich somit nicht in den nachstehend aufgeführten drei Beispielen:

  • 1. Ein Coregarn mit einem weitgehend ausverstreckten und schrumpfarmen Seelenfaden aus endlosem Polyestermaterial und einer volldeckenden Umspinnung aus Fasern gleichen Materials wird mit einem einfachen texturierten z.B. lufttexturierten Polyestergarn zusammengezwirnt, wobei die Zwirndrehung der Spinndrehung in der Drehrichtung entgegengesetzt ist. Die Verbindung der beiden Fadenkomponenten kann statt durch Zwirnen auch durch Verblasen oder durch Verkleben, Verschweißen oder Verpressen geschaffen sein.
  • 2. Zwei Coregarne, die wiederum jeweils aus einem schrumpfarmen Seelenfaden aus endlosem Polyestermaterial mit einer volldeckenden Umspinnung von Bauwollfasern gebildet sind, werden mit einem Baumwoll-Spinngarn verzwirnt, bevor ihre Weiterbehandlung erfolgt.
  • 3. Ein Coregarn der im Beispiel 1 erläuterten Ausführung wird statt mit dem dort erwähnten texturierten Polyestergarn mit einem einfachen Polyester-Schnittstapelgarn zusammengezwirnt, bei im übrigen gleicher Verarbeitung.
The invention is therefore not limited to the three examples listed below:
  • 1. A core yarn with a largely stretched and low-shrinking soul thread made of endless polyester material and a full covering of fibers of the same material is twisted together with a simple textured, for example air-textured polyester yarn, the twist twist of the spinning twist in the direction of rotation. The connection of the two thread components can be created by blowing or by gluing, welding or pressing instead of twisting.
  • 2. Two core yarns, which in turn are each made from a low-shrink soul thread made of endless polyester material with a fully covering of cotton fibers, are twisted with a cotton spun yarn before they are further processed.
  • 3. Instead of the textured polyester yarn mentioned there, a core yarn of the embodiment explained in Example 1 is twisted together with a simple polyester cut staple yarn, with otherwise the same processing.
