Description

Technical Field

The present invention relates to yarn, and a fabric and a product that use the yarn, and more particularly, to yarn that can be usefully employed in the preparation of a fabric for cleaning, and to a fabric and a product that are prepared using the yarn.

Background Art

Generally, microfibers are fibers of 1,1 dtex (1 denier) or less and have a three-dimensional structure of ultra microfibers. They also have countless numbers of microspaces that were prepared during the processes of dyeing and splitting and thus are materials with excellent moisture absorbency, washability, texture, and ability to retain warmth. Microfiber-based dishcloths, cleaning cloths, towels, robes and the like are well received due to their outstanding washability, rapid drying properties, antibiotic property, durability, etc. In particular, microfiber-based cleaning cloths have gained great popularity and been widely used due to advantages that they have, such as being more absorbent than regular cotton cloths by 5 times or more and having higher efficiency and longer service life than regular cotton cloths by 7 to 8 times, when used in removing ingrained dirt and the like by adsorbing thereto.
Usually, fabrics that were prepared by knitting and weaving of yarn to obtain a loops and cutting the loops that were obtained through weaving are used to make cleaning cloths. This is because the cleaning cloths that were made of a fabric with uncut loops have a poor cleaning effect, since they cannot capture foreign substances (i.e. objects to be removed) but push them away. In other words, cleaning cloths made of a fabric with cut loops exhibit an increased removal effect of foreign substances because foreign substances are removed by being trapped between cut loops during cleaning; thus, fabrics with cut loops are mostly used to make cleaning cloths.
However, when microfibers are used as yarn during the preparation of fabrics that are used to make cleaning cloths with cut loops, there is an advantage of increased polishing properties during an initial stage of cleaning due to the microfibers, but there is also a problem of a reduced cleaning effect, because the microfibers, due to their very low thickness, have low resilience which leads to reduced elasticity and restitution that result in matting or entangling of threads when the microfibers absorb water or are compressed under pressure during cleaning, which causes the sliding properties to degrade.
To solve such problems, Korean Patent No. 929510 discloses a pile fabric for cleaning in which a cut pile layer is made of pile yarn having a sheath-core type complex structure. Here, the pile yarn with a sheath-core type complex structure consists of at least one core-forming yarn having a single fiber fineness of 5 to 55 dtex and at least one sheath-forming yarn that has a single fiber fineness of 0,01 to 2,5 dtex and surrounds the core. Also, Korean Patent No. 716623 discloses a technique that uses synthetic fiber divided yarn as the core yarn and a split-type microfiber as the covering yarn and includes yarn twisting of the split-type microfiber relative to the core yarn and heat-treating thereof so that the covering yarn is fixed to the core yarn.
When a fabric prepared by the above method is used to make a cleaning tool, it exhibits excellent properties in terms of polishing properties, sliding properties, absorbency, a rapid drying properties, and texture, as compared with cleaning tools that use other existing fabrics.
In the aforementioned techniques, pile yarn, which is the yarn that is used in preparation of a fabric, is produced by winding covering yarn around core yarn which makes a core. However, when the yarn is prepared by winding the covering yarn around the core yarn as such, there are problems of an increased process time and high production cost per unit of the yarn, which lead to reduced productivity and increased production cost per unit of a finished fabric or product, respectively.
A yarn as relevant prior art is known from US 4,100,725 A . In addition more relevant prior art is known from EP 1 496 144 A1 and US 2003/089097 A1 .

Brief Description of Drawings

FIG. 1 is a photographic image of a surface of a fabric that is prepared according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Detailed Description of Embodiment

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail as follows.
The yarn of the present invention is prepared by including at least one first yarn and at least one second yarn.
The first yarn may be made of one, or two or more strands of fiber. Likewise, the second yarn may be made of one, or two or more strands of fiber.
According to the present invention, the fineness of the fiber that constitutes the first yarn and the fineness of the fiber that constitutes the second yarn are different from each other. For example, the fineness of the fiber that constitutes the first yarn may be greater than the fineness of the fiber that constitutes the second yarn.
For example, the fineness of the fiber of the first yarn may be in the range of 4,4 to 66,7 dtex (4 to 60 deniers), and the fineness of the fiber of the second yarn may be in the range of 0,0022 to 3,9 dtex (0,002 to 3,5 deniers). Also, the total fineness of the first yarn may range from 22,2 to 444,4 dtex (20 to 400 deniers), and the total fineness of the second yarn may range from 22,2 to 666,7 dtex (20 to 600 deniers).
When the yarn of the present invention is produced into a fabric with cut loops, the first yarn that has a relatively large thickness plays a role in increasing a coefficient of resilience, which leads to improved restitution and resilience. Therefore, when the produced fabric is used as a cleaning cloth, cut loops recover immediately after being compressed under pressure, and thus the degradation of cleaning efficiency by reduced sliding properties may be prevented from happening. For the first yarn to be sufficiently effective, it is preferable that the fineness of the fiber of the first yarn is in the range of 4,4 to 66,7 dtex (4 to 60 deniers) and the total fineness of the first yarn is in the range of 22,2 to 444,4 dtex (20 to 400 deniers).
In the case that the fineness of the fiber that constitutes the first yarn is less than 4,4 dtex (4 deniers) and the total fineness of the first yarn is less than 22,2 dtex (20 deniers), there is a problem in producing the yarn into a fabric with cut loops in which the restitution and resilience of cut loops are not sufficiently improved. Also, when the fineness of the fiber that constitutes the first yarn is greater than 66,7 dtex (60 deniers) and the total fineness of the first yarn is greater than 444,4 dtex (400 deniers), there is a problem in that a fabric that is produced using the yarn and has cut loops may scratch the surface that it wipes.
When the yarn of the present invention is used for the production of a fabric with cut loops, the second yarn that has a relatively small thickness plays a role in improving absorbency or a rapid drying properties and texture. Therefore, when the produced fabric is used as a cleaning cloth or the like, the second yarn exhibits excellence in absorbency or a rapid drying properties and texture. For the second yarn to be sufficiently effective, it is preferable that the fineness of the fiber of the second yarn ranges from 0,0022 to 3,9 dtex (0,002 to 3,5 deniers) and the total fineness of the second yarn ranges from 22,2 to 666,7 dtex (20 to 600 deniers).
In the case that the fineness of the fiber that constitutes the second yarn is less than 0,0022 dtex (0,002 deniers) and the total fineness of the second yarn is less than 22,2 dtex (20 deniers), there is a problem in producing the yarn into a fabric with cut loops in which the rapid drying properties degrades. Also, when the fineness of the fiber that constitutes the second yarn is greater than 3,9 dtex (3,5 deniers) and the total fineness of the second yarn is greater than 666,7 dtex (600 deniers), there is a problem of reduced absorbency and poor texture.
The first yarn may be made of one, or two or more strands of fiber, and when it is made of two or more strands of fiber, the strands of fiber may have the same fineness or different fineness. Also, when the first yarn consists of two or more strands of fiber, the strands may be made of an identical material or different materials. Also, when the first yarn consists of two or more strands of fiber, the first yarn may have been prepared to have a shape of a single thread by yarn twisting or intermingling.
Here, yarn twisting refers to the act of joining together and yarn twisting two or more strands of a thread and is usually distinguished according to a direction in which yarn twisting is performed during a yarn twisting operation; when twisted to the left, it is referred to as left (hand) twist or Z twist, and when twisted to the right, it is called right (hand) twist or S twist. Machines widely used in such yarn twisting include a ring twister and a flyer twister.
Preferably, the fiber of the first yarn includes at least one selected from the group consisting of natural plant fibers, natural animal fibers, regenerated fibers, semi-synthetic fibers, and synthetic fibers.
Preferably, the fibers of the first yarn are divided yarns. The divided yarns may be polyester divided yarns, nylon divided yarns, or rayon divided yarns. Preferably, the divided yarns consist of 2 to 50 filaments. Examples of currently available polyester divided yarns include those with a fineness of 222,2 dtex (200 D (denier))/10 F (filament), 333,3 dtex (300 D)/10 F, 355,6 dtex (320 D)/8 F and 333,3 dtex (300 D)/6 F, nylon divided yarns include 200 dtex (180 D)/12 F or 266,7 dtex (240 D)/12 F, rayon divided yarns include those with fineness of 222,2 dtex (200 D)/10 F, 333,3 dtex (300 D)/10 F, 355,6 dtex (320 D)/8 F and 333,3 dtex (300 D)/6 F, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
The second yarn may be made of one, or two or more strands of fiber, and when it consists of two or more strands of fiber, the strands may have the same fineness or different fineness. Also, when the second yarn consists of two or more strands of fiber, the strands may be made of an identical material or different materials from one another. Also, when the second yarn consists of two or more strands of fiber, it may have been produced to have a shape of a single thread by yarn twisting.
The fiber of the second yarn may include at least one selected from the group consisting of rayon, polyester, polyamide, polyvinylidene chloride, and polypropylene.
Preferably, the second yarn is a split-type microfiber or sea island yarn.
Here, those generally known in the art may be used for the split-type microfiber or sea island yarn without restriction. For example, the second yarn may be a split-type microfiber made of polyester and nylon.
To prepare yarn using the aforementioned first yarn and second yarn, in the present invention, at least one first yarn and at least one second yarn are placed parallel to each other and subjected to intermingling that joins the first yarn and the second yarn together by nipping longitudinally.
In this case, as the intermingling method, any of those generally used in the art may be used without restriction. For example, the intermingling may be formed through air intermingling, in which compressed air is blown in. However, the intermingling may be variously modified to suit the need; for example, intermingling by heat pressing is possible for joining the first yarn and the second yarn together.
In this case, the intermingling may be provided over the entire longitudinal direction. Preferably, the intermingling is provided at fixed intervals in the longitudinal direction; preferably, the intermingling is provided at intervals of 2 mm to 1 m. When the intermingling is provided at the above-described interval, production of a fabric, such as a woven fabric or a knitted material, may be facilitated, using the prepared yarn.
When a fabric is produced by intermingling - not by a conventional covering method - at least one first yarn and at least one second yarn that were placed parallel to one another yarn as described above, it is advantageous in that the production process of a fabric is simple and the production cost per unit of yarn is very significantly reduced (by about 60 to 70%) as compared with an existing preparation method using yarn twisting of covering yarn relative to core yarn. Not only that, when a fabric with cut loops, which can be usefully employed for cleaning, is produced using the yarn of the present invention, a product with an equal or greater effectiveness may be obtained.
The yarn of the present invention that is prepared as described above may be made into a fabric having a form of a woven fabric or a knitted material. Preferably, the yarn of the present invention may be usefully employed in a fabric for cleaning, in particular, in the production of a fabric with loops.
For example, a preliminary fabric that has a loop pile by using the above-described yarn of the present invention either as a warp or as a weft and has a form of a woven fabric or a knitted material may be produced. There is no restriction to a structure of the preliminary fabric, and, for example, a pile woven fabric - such as a single-sided pile, a double-sided pile, or a double velvet - obtained by a pile weaving machine and a pile knitted material obtained by a tricot knitting machine, a raschel knitting machine, a sinker pile knitting machine, or a sseal knitting machine may be included thereto.
After the production of a preliminary fabric with loops is completed, the loops may be cut so that the fabric can have cut loops. In this case, if necessary, a process - such as raising, caustic reduction, dyeing - that is generally carried out in the art may be added before or after cutting. In FIG. 1, a photographic image of a surface of a fabric that has cut loops and has been subjected to weight reduction and a dyeing process.
A fabric that is produced as described above - in particular, a fabric with cut loops -may be able to be usefully employed in various products. In this case, it is preferable that the length of the cut piles is in the range of 1 mm to 50 mm. The length of the cut pile may be adjusted by adjusting, to suit the application of the produced fabric, the length of the loops that are subjected to raising and then cutting the loops. When the produced fabric is intended for a bathing application, for example as a towel, the length of the cut loops is suitably in the range of 2 mm to 5 mm, and when the produced fabric is to be used as a cleaning cloth, the length of the cut loops is suitably in the range of 8 mm to 25 mm.
When observed, the first yarn and the second yarn are irregularly arranged in the cut loops as shown in FIG. 1. The first yarn exists in a state in which it is separated into multiple filament yarns and contributes to sufficient restitution and resilience. The second yarn exists in a state in which it is separated into multiple microfibrous filaments and offers excellence in absorbency or a rapid drying properties and texture.
The present invention provides a product that is produced by processing the above-described fabric. The product may be any one selected from the group consisting of dishcloths, cleaning cloths, kitchen mats, bath mats, towels, bath gloves, and dandruff remover cleaners.
For example, when a fabric that is prepared according to the present invention is cut to a predetermined size, processed, and used as a cleaning cloth, very high polishing properties is achieved. Also, the above fabric may be used as a mat that is installed in a bathroom or in a kitchen, or it may be used in various applications such as golf turf. In particular, it is advantageous in that, when used as a mat that is installed in a bathroom or in a kitchen, it absorbs water on a body or water that is scattered during washing in the kitchen, thus making the area clean and preventing a floor from becoming slippery due to fallen water drops. Also, since the resilience of the cut loops is high, naps are raised with ease and excellent shock absorbency and texture are provided.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following exemplary embodiments, which are presented only for better understanding of the present invention and not to limit the present invention thereto.

In this case, the yarn twisting was performed by a yarn twisting machine primarily to obtain an S twist with the twists numbering 600 TPM (twist per meter) and secondarily to obtain a Z twist with the twists numbering 540 TPM.

The yarn that was prepared according to the examples and the comparative example above were knitted in a circular knitting machine to have loops on one side and then woven, raised and the loops were cut to produce a cut loop fabric having the cut loops with a length of 8 mm. A photographic image of a surface of a cut loop fabric, which was produced using the yarn that was prepared according to Example 1, is shown in FIG. 1.
After a cleaning cloth was prepared by cutting, into a rectangle, and then finishing the above fabric, the polishing properties, sliding properties, restitution, absorbency, a rapid drying properties and texture of the prepared cleaning cloth were evaluated by the following method, and the results are provided in the following Table 1.

- Polishing properties

50 ml of coffee was poured over a floor covering that measured 2m in both width and length and then wiped off with the cleaning cloth. 30 housewives in their 30s to 40s were asked to observe the surface of the floor covering with the naked eye and evaluate the polishing properties on a scale of excellent, fair, and poor.

- Sliding properties -

100ml of water was poured over the cleaning cloth, and then 30 housewives in their 30s to 40s were asked to wipe a floor covering that measures 2m in both width and length and evaluate the sliding properties on a scale of excellent, fair, and poor.

- Restitution -

A 10-kg weight (10×200×200 mm) was put on a surface of the cleaning cloth for 30 seconds and then the weight was removed. After 30 seconds has passed, the surface of the cleaning cloth was observed with the naked eye and the restitution was evaluated as good, if the cut loops were recovered, or poor, if they remained depressed.

- Absorbency -

The absorbency was evaluated as follows: the cleaning cloth was cut to a width of 2 cm, and while 1 cm of the bottom thereof was immersed in water, the time required for the water to rise by 1 cm was measured to evaluate the absorbency.

- Drying ability -

The cleaning cloth was weighed, 10 g of water was poured over a surface thereof, and then the cleaning cloth was dried at room temperature. The drying ability was evaluated by measuring the time required for the weight of the cleaning cloth to return to its initial weight.

- Texture -

30 housewives in their 30s to 40s were asked to touch a surface of the cleaning cloth and evaluate the texture on a scale of very good (5 points), good (4 points), fair (3 points), poor (2 points), and very poor (1 point), and an average thereof was taken.

- Color fastness to washing -

The test was conducted by a standard method in accordance with KS K ISO 105-C01:207 (40 ± 2 °C, 30 minutes, 1% Spark(manufactured by Aekyung Co., Ltd.)).
