Abstract

To create a pattern, three colours (3.1,3.2,3.3) can be deployed in the yarn system. The carrier layer and the yarn system are initially needled from the carrier side and subsequently from the opposite side. The yarn system is initially combined with a staple fibre pile (2) to form a nonwoven. The nonwoven is fed to a carrier layer by a nonwoven side facing away from the yarn system. An Independent claim is made for the textile structure manufactured by using the process.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines gemusterten textilen Flächengebildes, wobei ein die Musterung erzeugendes Fadensystem mit einer Trägerschicht vernadelt wird. Des weiteren bezieht sich die vorliegende Erfindung auf textile Flächengebilde, welche mit einem solchen Verfahren erhältlich und dadurch beispielsweise als Bodenbelag, Fußmatte, Dekormaterial oder Innenraumverkleidung für Kraftfahrzeuge verwendbar sind.The present invention relates to a Process for producing a patterned textile fabric, a thread system producing the pattern is needled with a carrier layer. Furthermore The present invention relates to textile Sheets which can be obtained using such a process and thereby for example as a floor covering, doormat, Decorative material or interior trim for motor vehicles are usable.

Aus der DE 44 14 479 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines textilen Flächengebildes mit einer Musterung als Fußbodenbelag bekannt, wobei das textile Flächengebilde wenigstens teilweise ein flächiges, mit dem textilen Flächengebilde vernadeltes, wenigstens teilweise farbiges und/oder gemustertes Fadensystem umfasst. Dazu wird das wenigstens teilweise farbige und/oder gemusterte Fadensystem auf oder unter einen ggf. verfestigten Stapelfaserflor gelegt und anschließend vernadelt. Es ist auch möglich, das Fadensystem zwischen zwei ggf. verfestigte Stapelfaserflore zu legen und anschließend zu vernadeln.DE 44 14 479 describes a process for the production of a textile fabric with a pattern Known as flooring, the textile fabric at least partially a flat, with the Textile fabrics needled, at least partially colored and / or patterned thread system includes. To the at least partially colored and / or patterned Thread system on or under a possibly solidified pile fiber pile laid and then needled. It is also possible, the thread system between two possibly solidified Laying staple fiber pile and then needling.

Nachteil des Verfahrens ist, dass sich Stapelfaserflor und Fadensystem bei der Zuführung in den Nadelstuhl und beim Vernadeln selbst aufgrund ihres unterschiedlichen Aufbaus unterschiedlich stark verziehen, so dass das vernadelte Muster beeinträchtigt werden kann. The disadvantage of the process is that staple fiber pile and thread system when feeding into the needle chair and when needling itself because of its different Warp structure differently, so that the needled pattern can be affected.

Wird das Fadensystem auf bzw. unter den ggf. verfestigten Stapelfaserflor gelegt und anschließend vernadelt, so erhält man keine abriebfeste Musterung, da sich das Fadensystem lediglich an der Ober- bzw. Rückseite des textilen Flächengebildes befindet und damit direkt einer starken Beanspruchung, beispielsweise beim Begehen ausgesetzt ist. Wird das Fadensystem zwischen zwei ggf. verfestigte Stapelfaserflore gelegt, erhält man zwar einerseits eine abriebfeste Oberfläche, andererseits wird das Fadensystem durch die Faserflore überlagert, so dass man nur farbschwache, wenig kontrastreiche und diffuse Oberflächenmusterungen erhält.If the thread system is on or under the possibly solidified Staple fiber pile laid and then needled, so you get no abrasion-resistant pattern, because the thread system only on the top or back of the textile fabric and thus directly one heavy use, for example exposed when walking on is. If the thread system between two possibly solidified Stacked pile pile is obtained on the one hand an abrasion-resistant surface, on the other hand it will Thread system overlaid by the fiber web, so that one only weak colors, little contrast and diffuse surface patterns receives.

Aus der DT 24 60 646 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Textilerzeugnisses bekannt geworden, bei dem Kompositionselemente auf eine Fasern enthaltenden Grundschicht gelegt werden. Die Kompositionselemente werden mittels Nadelfilztechnik in die Grundschicht eingeflochten. Auch dieses Verfahren führt zu wenig kontrastreichen und farbschwachen Oberflächenmusterungen.From DT 24 60 646 is a manufacturing process of a textile product, at the composition element on a fiber-containing Base layer. The composition elements are woven into the base layer using needle felting technology. This method also leads to little contrast and weak color surface patterns.

Weiterhin ist aus der DE 199 29 382 A1 ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Nadelvlieses bekannt geworden, bei dem Elemente mit Grundfasern derart vermengt werden, dass eine im Wesentlichen gleichmäßige Verteilung der Elemente und der Grundfasern entsteht. Auch bei dem durch dieses Verfahren hergestellten Nadelvlies sind die Elemente von Grundfasern überdeckt und können daher keinen starken Kontrast erzeugen.Furthermore, DE 199 29 382 A1 describes a method known for the production of a needle felt, in which elements are mixed with basic fibers in this way be that an essentially even distribution of the elements and the basic fibers. Even with that Needle fleece produced by this process are the Elements covered by basic fibers and therefore cannot create strong contrast.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines textilen Flächengebildes mit einer farbigen, kontrastreichen und abriebfesten, flächigen Musterung zur Verfügung zu stellen. Weiterhin ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein textiles Flächengebilde der eingangs genannten Art so zu gestalten, dass die Musterung besonders kontrastreich und abriebfest ist.The object of the invention is therefore a method for the production of a textile fabric with a colored, high-contrast and abrasion-resistant, flat pattern to provide. It is also a task the invention, a textile fabric of the beginning mentioned type so that the pattern is particularly rich in contrast and abrasion resistant.

Das erstgenannte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Trägerschicht und das Fadensystem zunächst von der Trägerseite und anschließend von der gegenüber liegenden Seite vernadelt werden.According to the invention, the first-mentioned object is thereby achieved solved that the backing layer and the thread system first from the carrier side and then from the opposite side lying side needled.

Dazu wird die Trägerschicht zunächst auf das Fadensystem aufgelegt. Anschließend werden Trägerschicht und Fadensystem von der Seite der Trägerschicht vernadelt. In einem darauffolgenden zweiten Vernadlungsschritt wird das textile Flächengebilde von der gegenüberliegenden Seite vernadelt. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass bei dieser Vorgehensweise das Fadensystem über die gesamte Dicke des textilen Flächengebildes dreidimensional eingenadelt ist. So kann auf einfache Weise ein textiles Flächengebilde mit einer - im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik - farbigen, kontrastreich gemusterten Oberfläche erzeugt werden, welches dennoch eine hohe Abriebfestigkeit aufweist und somit z.B. auch als Bodenbelag verwendet werden kann. Die Musterung des erfindungsgemäßen textilen Flächengebildes kann durch die Wahl des Fadensystems beliebig eingestellt werden. Das Fadensystem kann farbig und/oder gemustert, flächig oder dergleichen gestaltet sein. Darüber hinaus kann herstellungsbedingt eine rapportfreie Oberfläche des textilen Flächengebildes erreicht werden.To do this, the carrier layer is first applied to the thread system hung up. Then the backing layer and needled system of threads from the side of the carrier layer. In a subsequent second needling step the textile fabric is separated from the opposite Needled side. It has been shown that this Procedure the thread system over the entire thickness of the textile fabric is needled three-dimensionally. So a textile fabric can be easily with a - in contrast to the prior art - colored, high-contrast patterned surface are generated, which nevertheless has a high abrasion resistance and thus e.g. can also be used as flooring. The Patterning of the textile fabric according to the invention can be set arbitrarily by the choice of the thread system become. The thread system can be colored and / or patterned, be designed flat or the like. Furthermore can a rapport-free surface of the textile fabric can be achieved.

Ein Verzug der Musterung lässt sich gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung einfach dadurch vermeiden, wenn das Fadensystem zunächst mit einem Stapelfaserflor zu einem Vliesstoff verbunden wird. Anschließend wird der Vliesstoff der Trägerschicht mit der dem Fadensystem abgewandte Seite des Vliesstoffs zugeführt. The pattern can be delayed according to a advantageous development of the invention simply thereby avoid if the thread system is first covered with a staple fiber pile is connected to a nonwoven. Subsequently is the nonwoven fabric of the backing layer with the the side of the nonwoven fabric facing away from the thread system.

Dazu wird aus einem Fadensystem und dem Stapelfaserflor zunächst ein verfestigter Vliesstoff derart gebildet, dass das Fadensystem im Wesentlichen vollständig auf einer Seite des Vliesstoffes angeordnet ist. Die Verfestigung des Vliesstoffes bzw. die Verbindung von Fadensystem und Vliesstoff kann nach mechanischem und/oder chemischem und/oder thermischem Verfahren erfolgen. Die Verfestigung hat lediglich die Aufgabe, das Fadensystem leicht an dem Stapelfaserflor anzuheften, so dass ein unterschiedlich starker Verzug von Fadensystem und Stapelfaserflor und damit eine Beeinträchtigung der Musterung bei der anschließenden Weiterverarbeitung vermieden wird. Anschließend wird der verfestigte Vliesstoff mit der dem Fadensystem gegenüberliegenden Seite der Trägerschicht zugeführt und dann mit der Trägerschicht, derart von beiden Seiten nacheinander vernadelt, dass das Fadensystem die abriebfeste Nutzschicht bildet.For this purpose, a thread system and the staple fiber pile are used first a solidified nonwoven is formed in such a way that the thread system is essentially complete is arranged on one side of the nonwoven fabric. The consolidation of the nonwoven or the connection of the thread system and nonwoven can by mechanical and / or chemical and / or thermal process. The Solidification has only the task, the thread system easy to attach to the staple fiber pile so that a different strong distortion of the thread system and staple fiber pile and thus an impairment of the pattern is avoided in the subsequent further processing. Then the solidified nonwoven fabric with the Thread system opposite side of the carrier layer fed and then with the carrier layer, such of both Sides successively needled that the thread system forms the wear-resistant wear layer.

Grundsätzlich kann zur Erzeugung des verfestigten Vliesstoffes aus dem Stapelfaserflor und dem Fadensystem jedes dem Fachmann zur Herstellung von Vliesstoffen bekannte Verfahren verwendet werden. Genannt seien an dieser Stelle das mechanische und das aerodynamische Verfahren. Bei dem mechanischen Kardierverfahren wird zunächst auf Krempeln ein Stapelfaserflor gebildet, welcher anschließend mittels eines Kreuzlegers abgetafelt wird. Der abgetafelte Krempelflor kann dann mechanisch und/oder chemisch und/oder thermisch mit dem Fadensystem verbunden und verfestigt werden. Beim aerodynamischen Verfahren werden mechanisch voraufgelöste Stapelfasern in einem kräftigen Luftstrom eingeführt, der z. B. gegen eine rotierende, perforierte Trommel geblasen wird. Die Fasern bilden auf der Trommeloberfläche ein wirrgelegtes Vlies, während die Luft durch die Öffnungen dieser Trommel abgesaugt wird. Die Verfestigung des Vlieses bzw. die Verbindung mit dem Fadensystem erfolgt nach den bereits genannten Verfahren.Basically can be used to generate the solidified Nonwoven from the staple fiber pile and the thread system any known to those skilled in the art of making nonwovens Procedures are used. May be mentioned on this Establish the mechanical and aerodynamic process. The mechanical carding process starts with a staple fiber pile is formed on cards, which subsequently is cut off with a stacker. The paneled pile can then be mechanically and / or chemically and / or thermally connected to the thread system and be solidified. In the aerodynamic process are mechanically pre-dissolved staple fibers in one strong airflow introduced, the z. B. against a rotating, perforated drum is blown. The fibers form a tangled fleece on the drum surface, while the air is sucked out through the openings of this drum becomes. The consolidation of the fleece or the connection with the thread system takes place according to the already mentioned Method.

Vorzugsweise werden zur Herstellung des verfestigten Vliesstoffes Stapelfasern aus Polypropylen, Polyester, Polyamid oder Viskose eingesetzt.Are preferably used to manufacture the solidified Nonwoven staple fibers made of polypropylene, polyester, Polyamide or viscose used.

Die Musterung der textilen Flächengebilde wird vornehmlich durch die Art, Form und Farbe des Fadensystems bestimmt. In Abhängigkeit von der gewünschten Musterung der textilen Flächengebilde können als Fadensysteme z. B. Gewirke, Folien, Papier, Vliesstoffe, Gewebe verwendet werden.The pattern of the textile fabrics is primarily by the type, shape and color of the thread system certainly. Depending on the desired pattern The textile fabrics can be used as thread systems z. B. knitted fabrics, foils, paper, nonwovens, fabrics be used.

Erfindungsgemäß wird der verfestigte Vliesstoff mit der dem Fadensystem gegenüberliegenden Seite der Trägerschicht zugeführt, wobei die Trägerschicht bevorzugt aus Polypropylen-, Polyester-, Polyamid- und/oder Viskosefasern besteht.According to the invention, the solidified nonwoven fabric with the side of the carrier layer opposite the thread system supplied, the carrier layer being preferred made of polypropylene, polyester, polyamide and / or viscose fibers consists.

Zur Fertigstellung des textilen Flächengebildes wird der verfestigte Vliesstoff mit der Trägerschicht gemäß einer anderen vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung derart von beiden Seiten nacheinander vernadelt, dass das Fadensystem die abriebfeste Nutzschicht bildet.To complete the textile fabric the solidified nonwoven with the backing layer according to another advantageous development of the invention needled in such a way from both sides, that the thread system forms the wear-resistant wear layer.

Vorzugsweise wird als Trägerschicht ein abgetafelter Krempelflor verwendet. Als Trägerschicht kann aber z. B. auch ein in sonstiger Weise mechanisch und/oder chemisch und/oder thermisch verfestigter Vliesstoff, ein Gewebe, eine getuftete Flächenware oder ein Filz verwendet werden.A paneled is preferably used as the carrier layer Carded pile used. However, as a carrier layer z. B. also mechanically and / or in any other way chemically and / or thermally bonded nonwoven Fabric, a tufted fabric or a felt is used become.

Um die Festigkeit des textilen Flächengebildes zu erhöhen, kann dieses zum Beispiel durch eine Imprägnierung mit einem Bindemittel zusätzlich verfestigt werden. To increase the strength of the textile fabric increase, for example by impregnation are additionally solidified with a binder.

In Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgedankens kann/können an der Unterseite der Trägerschicht eine oder mehrere weitere Trägerschicht(en) angebracht sein, beispielsweise eine Schwerbeschichtung, um dem textilen Flächengebilde weitere vorteilhafte Eigenschaften zu vermitteln.In a further development of the inventive concept, can one or more on the underside of the carrier layer further carrier layer (s) may be attached, for example a heavy coating around the textile fabric to convey further advantageous properties.

Das zweitgenannte Aufgabenteil, nämlich die Schaffung eines textilen Flächengebildes mit einer kontrastreichen und besonders abriebfesten Musterung wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass sich das Fadensystem nahezu über die gesamte Höhe des textilen Flächengebildes erstreckt.The second part of the task, namely the Creation of a textile fabric with a high contrast and particularly abrasion-resistant pattern solved according to the invention in that the thread system almost over the entire height of the textile fabric extends.

Diese Flächengebilde bestehen aus wenigstens einer Trägerschicht und einer mit dieser vernadelten Nutzschicht, wobei das auf der Oberseite der Nutzschicht vorliegende Fadensystem über die gesamte Dicke von Nutzschicht und Trägerschicht dreidimensional eingenadelt ist. Das textile Flächengebilde weist eine farbige, kontrastreiche und gemusterte Oberfläche auf, da während des Herstellungsverfahrens eine Verformung und Auflösung des Fadensystems oder eine sonstige Beeinträchtigung des Fadensystems weitgehend vermieden wird. Darüber hinaus zeichnen sich die Flächengebilde gemäß der Erfindung durch eine hohe Abriebfestigkeit aus, weshalb sie als Bodenbelag oder als andere strapazierfähige Beläge, beispielsweise als Fußmatten oder Innenraumverkleidung in Kraftfahrzeugen, verwendet werden können. Durch Anbringen weiterer Trägerschichten, beispielsweise einer Schwerbeschichtung, können diese Flächengebilde gezielt für spezielle Anwendungen, beispielsweise als selbstliegende Fliesen, optimiert werden. These fabrics consist of at least one Carrier layer and a wear layer needled with this, the one on top of the wear layer Thread system over the entire thickness of the wear layer and carrier layer needled three-dimensionally is. The textile fabric has a colorful, high-contrast and patterned surface because during the Manufacturing process a deformation and dissolution of the Thread system or any other impairment of the thread system is largely avoided. Furthermore stand out the fabrics according to the invention due to its high abrasion resistance, which is why it is used as a floor covering or as other hard-wearing coverings, for example as floor mats or interior trim in Motor vehicles can be used. By attaching further carrier layers, for example a heavy coating, can use these fabrics specifically for special Applications, for example as self-laying Tiles to be optimized.

Das erfindungsgemäße Flächengebilde ist insbesondere als Bodenbelag, Fußmatte, Dekor-Material oder Innenraumverkleidung für Kraftfahrzeuge verwendbar. Solche Flächengebilde werden vorzugsweise, aber nicht ausschließlich durch das zuvor beschriebene erfindungsgemäße Verfahren hergestellt.The fabric according to the invention is special as flooring, floor mat, decor material or interior cladding usable for motor vehicles. Such Sheets are preferred, but not exclusively by the previously described invention Process manufactured.

Unterschiedliche Musterungen lassen sich gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung dadurch erzeugen, dass das textile Flächengebilde mehrere unterschiedliche Fadensysteme aufweist.Different patterns can be according to an advantageous development of the invention generate that the fabric is several different Has thread systems.

Figur 1a zeigt einen verfestigten Vliesstoff 1 aus Stapelfaserflor 2 und einem Fadensystem 3, beispielsweise einem Gewirke. Um eine mehrfarbig strukturierte Musterung zu erhalten, sind als Beispiel drei Farben 3.1, 3.2 und 3.3 des Fadensystems 3 eingesetzt.FIG. 1a shows a consolidated nonwoven fabric 1 from staple fiber pile 2 and a thread system 3, for example a knitted fabric. A multi-colored structured pattern three colors 3.1 are available as an example, 3.2 and 3.3 of the thread system 3 used.

Die Herstellung dieses Vliesstoffes 1 erfolgte durch ein mechanisches Verfahren, wobei zunächst ausgehend von den Stapelfasern auf Krempeln der Stapelfaserflor 2 gebildet wurde, welcher anschließend mittels eines Kreuzlegers abgetafelt wurde. Der abgetafelte Stapelfaserflor 2 wurde dann leicht durch Vernadelung mit dem Fadensystem 3 verbunden und verfestigt. Das Fadensystem 3 ist im wesentlichen vollständig auf einer Seite des Vliesstoffes 1 angeordnet. Der Vliesstoff 1 bildet damit ein erstes Zwischenprodukt des Verfahrens.This nonwoven fabric 1 was produced by a mechanical process, starting initially from the staple fibers to carding the staple fiber pile 2 was formed, which is then by means of Was removed from the stacker. The stacked staple fiber pile 2 then became easy by needling with the thread system 3 connected and solidified. The thread system 3 is essentially entirely on one side of the Nonwoven fabric 1 arranged. The nonwoven fabric 1 thus forms a first intermediate product of the process.

Figur 1b zeigt den Vliesstoff 1 aus Figur 1a nach einem Auflegen einer Trägerschicht 5. Die Trägerschicht 5 wird auf die dem Fadensystem 3 abgewandte Seite des Vliesstoffs 1 gelegt. Figur 1c zeigt zwei Schritte beim Vernadeln des Flors des in Figur 1 dargestellten Vliesstoffs 1 mit der Trägerschicht 5. Zunächst wird das Zwischenprodukt aus Figur 1b im ersten Schritt I von der Seite der Trägerschicht 5 und des verfestigten Stapelfaserflors 2 mit dem Fadensystem 3 vernadelt. In einem darauffolgenden zweiten Schritt II werden die Schichten von der gegenüberliegenden Seite her vernadelt, so dass ein textiles Flächengebilde 4 nach Figur 2 entsteht. Als Ausgangsprodukt kann für den Stapelfaserflor 2 ein Flor mit etwa 300 g/m2 und für die Trägerschicht ein Flor mit etwa 1000 g/m2 verwendet werden. Zur Verdeutlichung sind in der Zeichnung die Nadelrichtungen der Schritte I und II mit Pfeilen gekennzeichnet.FIG. 1b shows the nonwoven fabric 1 from FIG. 1a after a support layer 5 has been placed on it. The support layer 5 is placed on the side of the nonwoven fabric 1 facing away from the thread system 3. FIG. 1c shows two steps in the needling of the pile of the nonwoven fabric 1 shown in FIG. 1 with the backing layer 5. First, the intermediate product from FIG. In a subsequent second step II, the layers are needled from the opposite side, so that a textile fabric 4 according to FIG. 2 is created. A pile with about 300 g / m 2 can be used as the starting product for the staple fiber pile 2 and a pile with about 1000 g / m 2 for the carrier layer. For clarification, the needle directions of steps I and II are marked with arrows in the drawing.

In Fig.2 ist das textile Flächengebilde 4 gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung dargestellt. Das Fadensystem 3 ist über die gesamte Dicke in Vliesstoff 1 und Trägerschicht 5 dreidimensional eingenadelt, so dass sich eine kontrastreiche, mehrfarbige und abriebfeste flächige Musterung ergibt.2 the textile fabric 4 is in accordance with of the present invention. The thread system 3 is over the entire thickness in nonwoven fabric 1 and backing layer 5 three-dimensionally needled, so that one high-contrast, multi-colored and abrasion-resistant flat pattern results.

Zum Vergleich zeigen die Figuren 3 und 4 das Verfahren nach dem aus der DE 44 14 479 A1 bekannten Stand der Technik. Das Fadensystem 3 ist bei dem nach dem Stand der Technik hergestellten textilen Flächengebilde 6, wie aus der Fig. 3 ersichtlich, überwiegend an der Oberfläche des textilen Flächengebildes 7 angeordnet, so dass zwar kontrastreiche und mehrfarbige, aber keine abriebfesten Musterungen resultieren. Wird das Fadensystem 3, wie aus der Fig. 4 ersichtlich, zwischen zwei Stapelfaserflore 8 und 9 gelegt, erhält man zwar einerseits eine abriebfeste Oberfläche, andererseits wird das Fadensystem 3 durch die Faserflore 8 und 9 überlagert, so dass man nur farbschwache, wenig kontrastreiche und diffuse Oberflächenmusterungen erhält.For comparison, Figures 3 and 4 show the method according to the state known from DE 44 14 479 A1 of the technique. The thread system 3 is according to the state the fabric manufactured 6, such as 3, mainly on the surface of the textile fabric 7 arranged so that high-contrast and multi-colored, but no abrasion-resistant Patterns result. If the thread system 3, as from 4, between two staple fiber webs 8 and 9, you get one abrasion-resistant Surface, on the other hand, the thread system 3 by the Fibers 8 and 9 are superimposed so that only weakly colored, little contrasting and diffuse surface patterns receives.
