Description

La présente invention concerne un article d'essuyage constitué d'un tissu ou d'un tricot et spécialement conçu pour l'essuyage de surfaces lisses.The present invention relates to a wiping article consisting of a fabric or a knitting and specially designed for wiping smooth surfaces.

La mise en oeuvre de matériaux du type textile pour l'essuyage, que ce soit dans le domaine industriel ou domestique , est bien connue. Le choix de la matière textile et la structure de l'article sont déterminés en fonction de son utilisation finale. S'il s'agit d'essuyer une surface humide , on utilise un matériau ayant des propriétés d'absorption ou d'adsorption par capillarité. S'il s'agit d'essuyer une surface sèche, notamment pour enlever des poussières , on choisit un matériau ayant des propriétés électrostatiques.The use of textile-type materials for wiping, whether in the industrial or domestic field, is well known. The choice of material textile and structure of the article are determined according to its use final. When wiping a wet surface, use a material with absorption or adsorption properties by capillarity. If it is a matter of wiping a dry surface, in particular to remove dust, we choose a material having electrostatic properties.

Quant à la structure de l'article , il peut s'agir d'une structure non-tissée, dans laquelle les matières textiles , sous forme de fibres ou de filaments sont entremêlées et liées par des moyens chimiques ou mécaniques. Il peut s'agir d'une structure tissée ou tricotée dans laquelle les matières textiles se présentent sous forme de fils , eux-mêmes constitués de fibres ou de filaments , lesdits fils étant assemblés selon des modes de liage fonctions de la contexture du tissu ou du tricot.As for the structure of the article, it can be a non-woven structure, in which the textile materials, in the form of fibers or filaments are intertwined and linked by chemical or mechanical means. It can be a woven or knitted structure in which the textile materials are present form of threads, themselves made up of fibers or filaments, said threads being assembled according to binding methods depending on the texture of the fabric or knitting.

Par rapport aux tissus et aux tricots , les non-tissés sont de coût moindre mais d'une résistance mécanique moindre ; de plus à l'usage il peut y avoir un relargage plus important des fibres ou filaments qui le composent.Compared to fabrics and knits, nonwovens are less expensive but of less mechanical resistance; more in use there may be a greater release of the fibers or filaments that compose it.

On a déjà proposé d'améliorer les propriétés d'essuyage d'un article en configurant celui-ci en plusieurs zones, chaque zone présentant des caractéristiques distinctes. Par exemple dans le document WO.98/11290 , l'article d'essuyage comporte une structure textile plate ayant en surface des poils rasés. Les différentes zones se distinguent par le degré de finesse des fibres individuelles constitutives desdits poils.It has already been proposed to improve the wiping properties of an article in configuring it in several zones, each zone having characteristics separate. For example in document WO.98 / 11290, the wiping article has a flat textile structure with shaved hairs on the surface. The different zones are distinguished by the degree of fineness of the individual fibers constituting said hairs.

Dans le document WO.98/52459, les différentes zones se distinguent par la différence de poids au m2. Plus précisément, il comporte au moins une zone ayant un premier poids donné , compris entre 30 et 120g/m2 et au moins une seconde zone ayant un poids qui n'est pas plus de 80% du poids donné de la première zone. De préférence , selon le document précité , l'article en question a une structure non-tissée.In document WO.98 / 52459, the different zones are distinguished by the difference in weight per m 2 . More specifically, it comprises at least one zone having a first given weight, between 30 and 120 g / m 2 and at least a second zone having a weight which is not more than 80% of the given weight of the first zone. Preferably, according to the aforementioned document, the article in question has a nonwoven structure.

Dans le document US.A.3,638,270, l'article d'essuyage comporte des premières rangées présentant en surface des poils rigides faits en monofilaments par exemple en polypropylène et , entre les premières rangées , des secondes rangées présentant en surface une plus grande densité de poils doux . Les poils plus rigides dégagent les peluches : les poils doux collectent les peluches et apportent un effet de polissage et d'adoucissement . Eventuellement les poils rigides peuvent être de plus grande hauteur que les poils doux.In document US.A.3,638,270, the wiping article includes first rows with rigid bristles made of monofilaments on the surface for example polypropylene and, between the first rows, seconds rows with a higher density of soft hairs on the surface. The more hairs rigid give off lint: soft hairs collect lint and provide a polishing and softening effect. Possibly rigid bristles can be taller than soft hairs.

Le but que s'est fixé le demandeur est de proposer un article d'essuyage consistant en un matériau textile tissé ou tricoté ,qui comporte une structure différente des structures existantes et qui présente des propriétés améliorées en ce qui concerne l'essuyage des surfaces lisses, notamment en ce qui concerne l'élimination des salissures fibreuses, que ces salissures soient déjà présentes sur la surface à nettoyer ou proviennent d'un relargage de l'article lui-même et ce quel que soit le sens d'essuyage , en S ou en W, évitant le relargage des salissures particulaires dans les passages où il y a un changement de direction lors de l'essuyage.The goal set by the applicant is to offer a wiping item consisting of a woven or knitted textile material, which has a structure different from existing structures and which has improved properties in that which relates to the wiping of smooth surfaces, in particular with regard to removing fibrous soiling, whether this soiling is already present on the surface to be cleaned or come from a salting out of the article itself and what either wiping direction, S or W, avoiding the release of dirt particles in passages where there is a change of direction when wiping.

Ce but est parfaitement atteint par l'article de nettoyage de l'invention qui de manière connue est un article textile tissé ou tricoté, dans lequel certains fils forment des reliefs par rapport au fond de l'article, ledit article présentant des zones à plus haut relief dites zones de récupération et des zones à plus bas relief dites zones de stockage.This object is perfectly achieved by the cleaning article of the invention which in known manner is a woven or knitted textile article, in which certain threads form reliefs with respect to the bottom of the article, said article having higher relief areas called recovery areas and lower relief areas say storage areas.

De manière caractéristique, dans une même zone , les reliefs se présentent sous la forme de lignes parallèles. De plus, l'article comporte des premières zones de récupération dans lesquelles les lignes formant les reliefs sont dans une direction longitudinale et des secondes zones de récupération dans lesquelles les lignes formant les reliefs sont dans une direction transversale.Typically, in the same area, the reliefs appear in the form of parallel lines. In addition, the article has first zones recovery in which the lines forming the reliefs are in one direction longitudinal and second recovery zones in which the lines forming the reliefs are in a transverse direction.

Selon une variante préférée de réalisation, l'article d'essuyage est un tissu dont les différentes zones se présentent comme un damier , une zone de stockage étant intercalée entre deux zones de récupération, à la fois dans la direction longitudinale et dans la direction transversale. According to a preferred embodiment, the wiping article is a fabric whose different areas look like a checkerboard, a storage area being interposed between two recovery zones, both in the direction longitudinal and in the transverse direction.

Avantageusement , dans ce cas , dans chaque direction, il y a alternance entre une première zone de récupération, une zone de stockage et une seconde zone de récupération.Advantageously, in this case, in each direction, there is alternation between a first recovery zone, a storage zone and a second recovery area.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va être faite de deux exemples de réalisation d'un article d'essuyage à zones multiples à reliefs différenciés, illustré par le dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • Les figures 1 et 2 illustrent schématiquement les deux modes d'essuyage habituels en S (figure 1) et en W (figure 2),
  • La figure 3 est une représentation schématique de l'agencement des différentes zones en relief de l'article , sous forme de damiers selon un premier exemple et,
  • La figure 4 est une représentation schématique des zones de récupération selon un second exemple.
The present invention will be better understood on reading the description which will be given of two exemplary embodiments of a wiping article with multiple zones with differentiated reliefs, illustrated by the appended drawing in which:
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 schematically illustrate the two usual wiping modes in S (FIG. 1) and in W (FIG. 2),
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of the arrangement of the various raised zones of the article, in the form of checkers according to a first example and,
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of the recovery zones according to a second example.

Le principe général qui est à la base de l'invention est de concevoir , pour un article d'essuyage constitué d'un tissu ou d'un tricot , une armure particulière dans le but de diminuer le risque de relargage particulaire de l'article, y comprises les particules du type fibreuses susceptibles d'être relarguées par l'article lui-même lors de la manipulation de l'article.The general principle on which the invention is based is to design, for a wiping article made of a fabric or knit, a particular weave in order to reduce the risk of particulate release of the article, including particles of the fibrous type capable of being released by the article itself when handling the item.

L'essuyage d'une surface lisse , que ce soit une table , une vitre ou toute autre surface de ce type consiste à déplacer l'article en sorte qu'il s'applique, lors de ce déplacement , sur l'intégralité de ladite surface. Le mode de déplacement est généralement soit en S (figure 1) soit en W (figure 2). Dans un essuyage en S , l'article est déplacé selon une direction générale transversale , allant d'un bord latéral à l'autre. Dans un essuyage en W, le déplacement se fait selon une direction générale longitudinale , allant d'un bord avant au bord arrière s'il s'agit d'une surface horizontale et du bord le plus haut vers le bord le plus bas s'il s'agit d'une surface verticale. Il importe que l'article puisse être capable de récupérer et de ne pas relarguer les souillures particulaires tout au long de son déplacement, y compris dans les passages où il y a un changement de direction du déplacement, au niveau des coudes du S ou du W. Dans ces passages, en particulier lorsqu'il s'agit de tissu pileux, il y a lors du changement de la direction d'essuyage également un changement de l'inclinaison des fibres en contact avec les souillures. Lors de ce changement d'inclinaison, les souillures peuvent être décrochées de l'article et donc être relarguées.Wiping a smooth surface, be it a table, glass or any another surface of this type is to move the article so that it applies, when of this movement, over the entire said surface. The mode of travel is generally either in S (figure 1) or in W (figure 2). In an S wiping, the article is moved in a general transverse direction, going from one edge side to side. In a wiping in W, the displacement is done in a direction general longitudinal, going from a front edge to the rear edge if it is a horizontal surface and from the highest edge to the lowest edge if it is a vertical surface. It is important that the item can be able to recover and not not release particulate soiling throughout its movement, including included in passages where there is a change in direction of movement, at level of the S or W elbows. In these passages, especially when it comes to hair tissue, there is also a change in the direction of wiping change in the inclination of the fibers in contact with the stains. During this change of inclination, soiling can be removed from the article and therefore be released.

L'article de l'invention est un tissu ou un tricot dont le mode de liage des fils est déterminé en sorte de former des zones à reliefs différenciés , à savoir des zones dites de récupération dans lesquelles les reliefs sont à une hauteur donnée par rapport au fond de l'article et des zones de stockage dans lesquelles les reliefs sont à une hauteur inférieure à la hauteur des reliefs des zones de récupération.The article of the invention is a fabric or knitted fabric whose method of binding son is determined so as to form zones with differentiated reliefs, namely so-called recovery zones in which the reliefs are at a given height in relation to the bottom of the article and storage areas in which the reliefs are at a height lower than the height of the reliefs of the recovery zones.

Les reliefs les plus prononcés réalisent l'entraínement des souillures particulaires , notamment fibreuses , sur la surface lisse à essuyer. Lors du changement de direction d'essuyage, lesdites souillures particulaires sont déplacées d'une zone à relief élevé vers une zone adjacente à relief inférieur, de sorte que lesdites souillures particulaires sont collectées et stockées dans cette dernière zone, dite zone de stockage.The most pronounced reliefs carry out the training of the stains particulate, especially fibrous, on the smooth surface to be wiped. During the change of wiping direction, said particulate soils are displaced from an area with high relief to an adjacent area with lower relief, so that said particulate soils are collected and stored in this latter zone, so-called storage area.

Sur la figure 3 est illustré un premier exemple d'article d'essuyage tissé dont le mode de liage est déterminé pour former une sorte de damier dont chaque case constitue une zone soit de récupération soit de stockage.In FIG. 3 is illustrated a first example of a woven wiping article. whose binding mode is determined to form a sort of checkerboard, each of which box constitutes either a recovery or storage area.

Dans cet article 1, les zones de stockage 2 sont représentées schématiquement avec des lignes hachurées obliquement dans les deux sens. Quant aux zones de récupération 3,4 , elles sont représentées par des lignes parallèles soit horizontales 3 soit verticales 4. Chacune de ces lignes représente la configuration du relief formé par les fils dans chacune de ces zones. Dans les premières zones de récupération 3, les reliefs forment des proéminences alignées 5 selon la direction transversale de l'article 1, par exemple dans le sens trame (T). Dans les secondes zones de récupération 4, les reliefs forment des proéminences alignées 6 dans le sens longitudinal de l'article 1 , par exemple dans le sens chaíne (C).In this article 1, the storage areas 2 are represented schematically with hatched lines obliquely in both directions. As for in recovery zones 3,4, they are represented by parallel lines either horizontal 3 or vertical 4. Each of these lines represents the configuration of the relief formed by the wires in each of these zones. In the first areas of recovery 3, the reliefs form prominences aligned 5 according to the direction transverse of article 1, for example in the weft direction (T). Within seconds recovery zones 4, the reliefs form aligned prominences 6 in the longitudinal direction of article 1, for example in the chain direction (C).

Dans le damier tel qu'illustré à la figure 3 , une zone de stockage 2 , de forme sensiblement carrée est , dans le sens chaíne C comme dans le sens trame T, adjacente par ses deux côtés opposés , avec une première zone de récupération 3 et une seconde zone de récupération 4. Ainsi quel que soit le sens de l'essuyage, les souillures particulaires, notamment fibreuses, pourront toujours être arrêtées par les proéminences alignées 5, 6 qui feront obstacle à leur déplacement , puis collectées dans une zone de stockage 2 adjacente.In the checkerboard as illustrated in FIG. 3, a storage area 2, of substantially square shape is, in the warp direction C as in the weft direction T, adjacent by its two opposite sides, with a first recovery zone 3 and a second recovery zone 4. Thus whatever the direction of wiping, the particulate soils, especially fibrous, can always be stopped by the aligned prominences 5, 6 which will hinder their movement, then collected in an adjacent storage area 2.

De préférence les zones différenciées 2,3,4 sont des carrés faisant de 1 à 5cm de côté.Preferably, the differentiated zones 2,3,4 are squares from 1 to 5cm side.

La différence de hauteur des reliefs entre les zones de stockage 2 et les zones de récupération 3, 4 est de l'ordre de 0,5 à 10 mm.The difference in height of the reliefs between the storage areas 2 and the recovery zones 3, 4 is of the order of 0.5 to 10 mm.

Sur la figure 4 est illustré un second exemple d'article d'essuyage 7 tissé dont les zones de récupération 8 et de stockage 9 forment un damier. Dans ce damier, une zone de stockage 9 donnée est adjacente :

  • a) dans le sens trame (T) à des premières zones de récupération 8b, dont les proéminences 10 sont alignées dans le même sens trame, et
  • b) dans le sens chaíne (C) avec des secondes zones de récupération 8a , dont les proéminences 11 sont alignées , dans le même sens chaíne.
    • In FIG. 4 is illustrated a second example of a woven wiping article 7 whose recovery 8 and storage zones 9 form a checkerboard. In this checkerboard, a given storage area 9 is adjacent:
  • a) in the weft direction (T) in the first collection areas 8b, the protrusions 10 are aligned in the same raster direction, and
  • b) in the chain direction (C) with second recovery zones 8 a , the projections 11 of which are aligned, in the same chain direction.

    • En fait les proéminences 10,11 sont constituées par des fils plus volumineux , formant en quelque sorte des boucles venant en surélévation par rapport au fond de l'article, soit en trame (pour les proéminences 10) soit en chaíne (pour les proéminences 11).In fact the prominences 10,11 are formed by more threads bulky, forming in a way curls coming in elevation by report to the bottom of the article, either in frame (for prominences 10) or in chain (for prominences 11).

    Selon le mode de liage de la figure 4, les carrés constituant les premières zones de récupération 8b en trame sur l'endroit du tissu forment des secondes zones de récupération 8a en chaíne sur l'envers du tissu.According to the binding mode of Figure 4, the squares constituting the first recovery zones 8 b in the frame on the right side of the fabric form second recovery zones 8 a in a chain on the back of the fabric.

    Dans un mode précis de réalisation, s'appliquant aux deux exemples précités, donné à titre non exhaustif, les proéminences 10, 11 ont été réalisées à partir de fils microfilamentaires 50% polyester/50% polyamide , fils de type bicomposants , dont les brins sont séparés après un traitement alcalin en sorte d'obtenir des brins unitaires faisant de l'ordre de 0,22 dtex.Il s'agit, tant en chaíne qu'en trame , de fils de 350 dtex. L'article terminé avait un poids de l'ordre de 220 g/m2. Les proéminences alignées dans les première et deuxième zones de récupération avaient une hauteur d'environ 3mm par rapport au fond de l'article. Comparativement , les reliefs des zones de stockage avaient une hauteur inférieure à 2mm par rapport au fond de l'article.In a precise embodiment, applying to the two aforementioned examples, given without being exhaustive, the prominences 10, 11 were produced from 50% polyester / 50% polyamide microfilament yarns, bicomponent type yarns, the strands of which are separated after an alkaline treatment so as to obtain unitary strands making of the order of 0.22 dtex. These are, both in the warp and in the weft, wires of 350 dtex. The finished article had a weight of the order of 220 g / m 2 . The prominences aligned in the first and second recovery zones were approximately 3mm high from the bottom of the article. Comparatively, the reliefs of the storage areas were less than 2mm high from the bottom of the article.

    La présente invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit à titre d'exemple.
