Definitions
- the present invention relates to hosiery produced by knitting substantially exclusively a covered elastic yarn at least the leg portion knitting fabric thereof. Especially it relates to hosiery good in transparency, flat feeling, luster feeling, touch feeling, fitting property, durability, wearing comfort, etc.
- panty hose in recent years is remarkable, i.e., rapid shift from panty hose produced using the conventional false-twist nylon yarn to panty hose produced using a covered elastic yarn constituted of an elastic polyurethane yarn and a nylon yarn twisted around the elastic polyurethane yarn.
- the panty hose produced using a covered elastic yarn have gained public favor in the market since they have not only excellent close fitting property due to recovery of the elastic polyurethane yarn after elongation thereof, but also good durability.
- panty hose produced using the conventional covered elastic yarn have been produced by alternately knitting the covered elastic yarn and a nylon yarn, but recently for the purposes of obviating weft bar due to alternate course knitting and of achieving higher fitting property, panty hose wherein a leg portion knitting fabric is formed by knitting only a covered elastic yarn, so-called every course panty hose are being marketed.
- panty hose wherein a leg portion knitting fabric is formed by knitting only a covered elastic yarn, so-called every course panty hose are being marketed.
- the hosiery wherein a leg portion knitting fabric is formed by knitting only a covered elastic yarn is called "every course hose”.
- the covered elastic yarn has a structure in which a nylon yarn is twisted around an elastic polyurethane yarn, it is liable to be large in fiber fineness, therefore the hosiery produced using the yarn are disadvantageously poor in transparency, stuffy, large in fabric thickness, etc. as compared with the conventional hosiery produced using a false-twist yarn or a composite fiber.
- These disadvantages are worse in every course hose, and in addition, every course hose do not have luster feeling and furthermore since the fabric is less uniform, they are poor in flat feeling as a further other large problem.
- the covering performance is important for improving the durability, fabric appearance, color tone, handling touch, etc. of the hosiery obtained, whether the nylon yarn is wound around the elastic polyurethane yarn so as not to expose the elastic polyurethane yarn in surface of the covered elastic yarn and uniformly wound or not.
- the main object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the above prior arts, and to provide every course hose which is not only excellent in transparency, flat feeling, luster feeling, touch feeling, and wearing comfort not achieved by the conventional every course hose but also good in fitting property, durability, etc., by improving the every course hose produced by knitting substantially exclusively a covered elastic yarn into the leg portion knitting fabric thereof in transparency, flat feeling, luster feeling, large in fabric thickness, wearing comfort, etc.
- the present invention is hosiery, produced by knitting substantially exclusively a covered elastic yarn into at least the leg portion knitting fabric thereof, wherein said covered elastic yarn is formed by winding a polyamide filament yarn around a core yarn constituted of an elastic yarn, comprising: the cross section of the polyamide filament yarn is a swollen quadrilateral substantially free from any depression and having four protruding portions, wherein the swollen quadrilateral is formed by four curved sides substantially swelling outside from the respective four sides of an inscribed quadrilateral with the protruding portions as vertexes (hereinafter simply called "a swollen quadrilateral").
- the present invention is every course hose produced by knitting substantially exclusively a covered elastic yarn into at least the leg portion knitting fabric thereof, wherein a polyamide filament yarn having a cross section of said specific swollen quadrilateral are used as the covering yarn of the covered elastic yarn, therefore every course hose can have excellent properties which could not be achieved in the conventional every course hose, for example, very good transparency, luster feeling, refreshing feeling, fabric appearance, soft touch, smoothing touch, fitting property, etc., and also excellent wearing comfort and high fashionability.
- the covered elastic yarn are improved in uniformity and transparency, to improve the transparency, luster feeling, touch feeling, fabric appearance, etc. of the hosiery fabric.
- they are better in the adherence of the covering yarn to the elastic yarn as a core yarn, higher in covering performance, less in the separation of the covering yarn from the elastic yarn liable to be caused when a conventional yarn with a round section is used, better in fabric appearance and skin touch feeling, and less in the exposure of the elastic yarn as a core yarn, hence higher in durability.
- the frictional coefficient and its variation of the leg portions can be kept at low levels which could not be achieved by the conventional every course hose, and as a result, the hosiery obtained are excellent in smoothing touch when worn, and less in rough feeling when worn, being excellent in skin touch.
- the hosiery is produced by knitting substantially exclusively a covered elastic yarn, high fitting power can be easily obtained, and the 60% recovery stress can be kept in an ideal range from 180 to 350 g.
- the conventional every course hose is poor in fabric appearance due to shrunken fabric, but in the present invention, since the above mentioned polyamide filament yarn having a cross section of the specific swollen quadrilateral are used as a covering yarn, such effects that covering performance is uniform with less core elastic yarn exposed, that the uneven shrinkage of the knitted fabric is inhibited, that the fabric appearance is prevented from being worsened, and that the processability during knitting and finishing can be improved can be obtained.
- the hosiery intended in the present invention includes hosiery products such as panty hose, long hosiery and short hosiery.
- Fig. 2 (a) illustrates a long stocking which comprises a toe portion 11 and a heel portion 12, and a leg portion 13 refers to the portion which is upper side of a portion corresponding to an ankle immediately above the heel portion 12. At the top end of the leg portion 13, a stretchable belt portion 15 is usually provided.
- Fig. 2 (b) illustrates panty hose which comprises a toe portion 11, a leg portion 13, a panty portion 14 and a stretchable belt portion 15, and a pair of right and left stocking portions sewn together in the panty portion 14 and the stretchable belt portion 15.
- the leg portion knitting fabric it is necessary that at least the leg portion knitting fabric thereof is produced by knitting substantially exclusively a covered elastic yarn, thereby to solve the problem of the weft bar.
- the leg portion knitting fabric may have a knitted pattern composed of another material or decorated with something like one point mark.
- the portions other than the leg portion (such as the panty portion) may also be produced by knitting a covered elastic yarn same as the leg portion.
- the covered elastic yarn can be a single covered elastic yarn (SCY) having a covering yarn singly wound around an elastic yarn, or a double covered elastic yarn (DCY) having two covering yarns doubly wound around an elastic yarn in mutually opposite directions of twist.
- SCY single covered elastic yarn
- DCY double covered elastic yarn
- Single covered elastic yarns are especially preferable in view of higher transparency, smaller in fabric thickness and less stuffy feeling of hosiery.
- the covered elastic yarn used in the present invention comprises a polyamide filament yarn as a covering yarn, wherein the cross section is a swollen quadrilateral substantially free from any depression and having four protruding portions, and formed by four curved sides substantially swelling outside from the respective four sides of an inscribed quadrilateral with the protruding portions as vertexes.
- the polyamide filament yarns may be ordinary polyamide fibers such as nylon 6 fibers, nylon 66 fibers and nylon 46 fibers, and above all, nylon 6 fibers especially excellent in transparency and luster feeling are preferable as a covering yarn of every course hose wherein a transparency and luster feeling of the fibers are especially desired.
- the polyamide is preferably a polyamide substantially consisting of any one polymer component only such as nylon 6, nylon 66 or nylon 46.

- the polyamide may contain, as required, a photo stabilizer, thermal stabilizer, antioxidant, antistatic agent, dyeability improver, etc. as far as they do not impair transparency, but it is preferable for further improving the transparency, touch feeling, color clearness, durability, etc. of every course hose, not to substantially contain any delustering agent such as titanium oxide and pigment.
- Titanium oxide is generally contained in polyamide fibers for hosiery as a delustering agent. Especially in the case of fiber with a non-circular cross section such as 3-lobed (Y-shaped) cross section or 5-lobed cross section, since the glittering on the surface of the fiber is very large, it has been considered to be absolutely necessary to add titanium oxide for suppressing the glittering. However, when the fibers having a cross section of a swollen quadrilateral of the present invention are used as the covering yarn, the problem of glittering does not arise, and substantial freedom from titanium oxide is rather effective for improving the transparency, color clearness, strength, etc. of the hosiery. It is preferable that titanium oxide is not substantially contained.
- the polyamide fibers as the covering yarn preferably contain an acid amide compound represented by the following general formula (A) or (B) by 0.01 to 1.0 wt% based on the weight of the polyamide, for further improving the transparency, color clearness, durability, soft touch, etc. of the hosiery, and decreasing the roughness touch due to the unevenness of the knitted ground, and for further improving the soft touch.

- the curved sides 5 and 5' are substantially swollen from the respective sides of the inscribed quadrilateral 3, and are substantially free from any depression at any intermediate portion of the curved sides 5 and 5'. That is, the outline of the cross section 1 of the fiber exists between the inscribed quadrilateral 3 and the circumcircle 2, and every portion of it is substantially swollen.
- the quadrilateral cannot be the swollen quadrilateral of the present invention.
- the ratio (b/a)of the distance b from the center of the circumcircle 3 to the centers of the curved sides 5 to the distance a from the center of the circumcircle 3 to the protrusions 4 is 0.80 to 0.96.
- the configuration of the cross section of the fibers in the present invention is only required to be substantially free from any depression, and the slight depression which may be caused in the production and processing of the yarn and in the production of hosiery, etc. may be contained if the intended object of the present invention can be achieved.

- the fibers having a cross section of said swollen quadrilateral are more excellent in transparency, luster feeling, smoothing touch, etc. than fibers having a circular cross section.
- the fibers having a conventional odd-shaped cross section with depressions such as four lobed type or three lobed type cannot provide this effect.
- the use of fibers with a cross section of said swollen quadrilateral as a covering yarn can improve the transparency, luster feeling, refreshing feeling, fabric appearance, etc. of every course hose.
- the fibers having a cross section of the swollen quadrilateral are used for covering, the single fibers can be easily arranged in one layer around the core yarn when covering, and this in combination with the cross section free from any depression gives a large effect in improving transparency, luster feeling, touch feeling, etc., and compared to the conventional every course hose, very excellent transparency, luster feeling, touch feeling, etc. can be obtained without worsening the other properties required for hosiery such as durability and fitting property.
- the fiber having a conventional odd-shaped cross section with depressions such as 4-lobed type or 3-lobed type are used as the covering yarn, the existence of depressions in the cross section of the fibers worsens the transparency of the hosiery, and the glittering due to reflection and roughness worsens the luster feeling and also soft touch, not allowing the intended object of the present invention to be achieved.
- single fibers having a cross section of 3-lobed type or 5-lobed type are liable to be arranged in two or more layers around the core yarn like fibers having a circular cross section, and in addition, the roughness on the surface of the covered elastic yarn is large, not allowing the intended object of the present invention to be achieved.

- the initial tensile resistance is less than 28.0 g/d as in the case of undrawn yarns spun at a low speed and undrawn yarns spun at a high speed (so-called POY)
- a formation of the knitted loops in the knitted fabric of every course hose become loose in a tendency to worsen the fabric appearance unpreferably.
- the tensile modulus of more than 40.0 g/d as in the drawn yarns obtained by drawing the slowly spun undrawn yarns at a high ratio is unpreferable in view of transparency, softness, etc. of the knitted fabric of every course hose.
- the boil off shrinkage exceeds 15% as in the drawn yarns obtained by drawing the slowly spun undrawn yarns at a high ratio, since the shrinkage in the heat treatment processing such as dyeing is too large, the strong tightening by the polyamide yarn wound around the core yarn is liable to make the covered elastic yarn rigid, for further impairing the softness of the fabric, and the knitted loops of the fabric are liable to be deformed or stretched unpreferably when they are formed.
- the respective values of the above mentioned initial tensile resistance, strength and elongation are obtained by drawing an elongation-load curve (S-S curve) by measuring fiber samples allowed to stand in an atmosphere of 20°C and 65% RH in free shrinking state, using a Tensilon testing machine in the condition that an initial load of 1/30 g/d, a sample length of 50 cm and a tensile speed of 50 cm/min.

- the polyamide fibers obtained by the above high speed direct spinning drawing method can be expressed as 1.1290 to 1.1320 g/cm 3 in density in view of fiber structure, and it is difficult to obtain the polyamide fibers having a cross section of the swollen quadrilateral with these physical values, by any other yarn production method such as low speed spinning, high speed spinning without drawing, or low speed spinning and drawing at a high ratio.
- the thickness of the covering yarn used in the present invention is preferably 5 to 12 deniers, especially 5 to 10 deniers when used for single covering, 5 to 10 deniers when used for double covering, for obtaining higher transparency, and excellent durability and wearing feeling. If the yarn thickness is too small, practical durability is liable to be insufficient, and if too large on the contrary, the transparency is liable to be insufficient while the handling touch is liable to be coarse and hard unpreferably.
- the yarn is a multi-filament yarn consisting of 2 to 7 filaments. If the number of filaments is one, the handling touch is liable to be coarse and hard, and the durability is liable to be insufficient. On the contrary, if the number of filaments is 8 or more, transparency and durability are liable to be insufficient unpreferably.
- the elastic yarn to be used as the core yarn of the covered elastic yarn can be an elastic polyurethane yarn, an elastic polyamide elastomer yarn, an elastic polyester elastomer yarn, a natural rubber yarn, a synthetic rubber yarn, a butadiene yarn, etc.

- the elastic polyurethane yarn can be obtained by any method of dry spinning, melt spinning or wet spinning.
- the thickness of the elastic yarn depends on the application and pretermined tightening pressure of the hosiery, but is generally about 8 to 70 deniers, preferably 10 to 40 deniers. If the thickness is less than 8 deniers, the strength of the yarn is insufficient, and such trouble as breaking of the core yarn is liable to occur during covering and knitting, and the hosiery is liable to be insufficient in stretchability and durability unpreferably. If the thickness exceeds 70 deniers, the tightening power is so strong as to give a strong pressure feeling, and the decline of transparency and the increase of coarse and hard feeling are liable to be caused unpreferably.
- the covered elastic yarn used in the present invention can be produced by winding a covering yarn constituted of plural polyamide filaments having a cross section of the specific swollen quadrilateral, around an elastic yarn in a single layer or double layer by ordinary method.
- the count of covering twist of the polyamide filament yarn wound around the core yarn composed of elastic yarns depends on whether the wound layer is single or double.
- the count of covering twist is preferably 2200 to 2800 t/m for further improving the skin touch, durability, fabric appearance, etc. of the hosiery. Even if it is less than 2200 t/m (the same level as in the case of conventional single covered elastic yarn), good hosiery can be obtained, but in view of fabric appearance and the durability in the case of using a covering yarn smaller in thickness, 2200 t/m or more is preferable.

- the 60% BP serves as an indicator of wearing fitting property thereof, and if the value is too low, wrinkles and loosenings are liable to occur unpreferably. If too high on the contrary, the tightening pressure is too high, and tightness and stuffiness are too strong. Furthermore, the knitted fabric shrinks so much as to impair uniform appearance unpreferably.
- the elastic polymer an ether polyurethane or an ester polyurethane, etc.
- its spinning method melt spinning, dry spinning or wet spinning, etc.
- the thickness of the yarn knit design (number of needles, loop size, etc.) of hosiery
