Description

  The present invention relates to a new bath body towel, and more particularly to a bath body towel having two front and back surface characteristics, one having a foaming effect and the other having natural fibers on the surface to match modern skin. It is.

  Conventionally, bath towels with 100% cotton spun yarn pile pile exposed on the surface were generally used. However, cotton spun yarn has water absorbency, but its strength is reduced by repeated use, It had the disadvantage of being inferior in foaming properties.

  Therefore, a mesh knitted fabric using synthetic fibers such as nylon and polyester was developed and used as an alternative. However, even though it has excellent foaming and foaming properties, it is highly irritating to the skin and has the disadvantage of damaging the skin. It was.

Therefore, in recent years, in order to cope with the above problems, we have devised the use of cotton yarn to improve foaming, and composite body towels incorporating the goodness of cotton yarn and synthetic fibers have been studied. Woven with bulky design twisted yarn (for example, see Patent Document 1), two-layered knitted fabric (for example, see Patent Document 2) knitted with natural fibers on one side and chemical fibers on the other side, or natural fibers and synthetic fibers A knitted fabric having a three-layered mesh knitted structure (see, for example, Patent Document 3) has been proposed.

  However, the weft weaved with the design twisted yarn has both flexibility and foaming properties, but it has a focus on the massage effect, and the texture remains unclear, and two layers of natural and synthetic fibers are used. The structure knitted fabric is a front and back structure that allows the user to select any surface and cannot experience foaming and tactile sensation at the same time. In addition, in a three-layer mesh knitted structure, these three layers function. There are various limitations, and the manufacturing method is complicated, both of which have merits and demerits, and are not satisfactory.

  The present invention corresponds to the actual situation as described above, and in order to cope with this, it has been found that a combination of natural fiber and sponge is tried, one is foaming sponge and the other is dihedral with soft natural fiber on the skin. The purpose is to provide a body towel for bathing that is suitable for foaming and modern skin.

  That is, the present invention suitable for the above-mentioned object is a body towel for bath composed of a structure in which a double side knitted fabric having a required width and length is integrated at the peripheral edge, A chain stitch in which the ground is knitted in parallel in the wale direction with the required width, and a weft insertion section in which the weft is knitted across the wales that are several wales apart every several courses with a required interval in the course direction of the chain stitch Russell knitted fabric that is shifted in position relative to the adjacent wale and arranged in a staggered manner in the wale direction, and the surface side knitted fabric further cuts the sponge into strips on the back side knitted fabric structure for each required number of courses. It is characterized by a raschel knitted fabric that has been fixed in a wavy shape that has been swung across several courses in the longitudinal direction and inserted in parallel.

  Claim 2 is a general aspect of the above-mentioned bath body towel, and the chain stitches knitted in parallel in the wale direction with the required width by the knitting yarn, and the number of the chain stitches every several courses with the required interval in the course direction. Russell knitted fabric of the required length in which the weft insertion part, in which the wefts are knitted across the wales separated from the wale, is shifted in the wale direction by shifting the position relative to the adjacent wale, and the sponge is further thinned on the raschel knitted fabric A strip sponge cut into strips is swung several wales at intervals of several courses and inserted into a wavy shape parallel to each other in the length direction, and the raschel knitted fabric of the required length that has been fastened is attached to the latter raschel knitted fabric It is a body towel for bathing that is formed by polymerizing the front and back surfaces as the surface side and closing the peripheral edge thereof.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the wefts in the bath towel are knitted in a cross-like manner across the wales separated by several wales every few courses, and the weft insertion portions by the knitting are arranged in a zigzag pattern in the wale direction. In addition, the thin sponge is inserted in a wavy shape parallel to the staggered weft insertion portion.

  Claims 4 to 6 are embodiments for making the bath towel of the present invention most effective, and a raschel knitted fabric to be a knitted fabric is made of natural fibers, in particular, biodegradable polylactic acid fibers. As the strip, at least one strip sponge selected from cellulose foam sponge, polyester sponge or polyether sponge is used.

  The body towel for bath of the present invention is composed of two raschel knitted fabrics on the front and back sides, has a large porosity, is excellent in foaming properties, is soft to the touch and has good foaming properties and foam holding properties due to the strip sponge inserted on the surface side. It is very effective as a sponge towel for bathing. In addition, the use of natural fibers, especially polylactic acid fibers, as a knitted fabric material reduces the carbon dioxide emission as a recyclable material in consideration of the global environment and is useful.

  Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of a bath towel of the present invention, FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the surface, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, and FIG. Is a schematic diagram of the surface side structure.

  As shown in the figure, the body towel for bath of the present invention is formed with a required width and a required length, and as shown in FIG. Yes.

  Here, each of the knitted fabrics on the front and back sides is made of a raschel knitted fabric knitted by a known raschel knitting machine, and the back side knitted fabric 2 is a wreath having a required width with a ground knitting yarn a as its basic structure as shown in FIG. In the course direction of the chain stitches arranged in parallel in the direction, between the wales separated by several wales every several courses at a required interval, preferably the weft yarns b are knitted face-to-face so as to cross each other from the left and right as shown in the figure The weft insertion portion is formed, and the positions of the weft insertion portions are shifted between adjacent wales and arranged in a staggered manner in the wale direction, that is, in a zigzag shape, and the zigzag weft insertion portion is formed. It is configured as a raschel knitted fabric.

  On the other hand, the front-side knitted fabric 1 is based on the structure of the back-side knitted fabric 2 as shown in FIG. 4, and a strip sponge c obtained by further cutting the sponge into strips is further measured in units of several courses in the length direction. The surface side knitted fabric 1 is knitted by swinging the wale and inserting and arranging in a wavy shape 4 parallel to each other along the zigzag shape between the weft insertion portions of the zigzag shape in the basic structure. The parallel wavy pattern 4 by the above-mentioned strip sponge c is exposed on the surface. The insertion of the strip sponge into which the sponge is cut into the raschel knitted fabric is an important feature of the present invention, and can thereby provide foamability and softness suitable for the skin. As the sponge to be used, cellulose foam sponge, polyester sponge, and polyether sponge are particularly preferable, and they are used by cutting them into required narrow widths that can be inserted into a knitted fabric. Of course, not only the sponge but also other sponges can be used as long as they do not deviate from the purpose, and these can be imparted with a color effect by being further colored.

  Thus, in the present invention, the surface side knitted fabric 1 and the back surface side knitted fabric 2 as described above are polymerized, and the color effect of the wavy pattern 4 due to the sponge is revealed on the surface side, thereby the peripheral edge portion 3 is edged. This is used as a bath towel.

  In the body towel, the base knitting yarn forming the basic raschel knitted fabric and the insertion yarn b inserted in a zigzag manner can use synthetic fiber yarns such as nylon and polyester, but use natural fibers. The use of biodegradable polylactic acid fibers made from corn is particularly preferred.

  Biodegradable polylactic acid fiber is a natural environment-type biodegradable material, taking into consideration the global environment, yet being a weakly acidic material that is gentle on the skin, has antifouling properties against life stains, and is effective as a body towel for bathing. .

  The size of the body towel is appropriately selected according to the purpose of use, and the chain stitch arranged in parallel in the wale direction, the weft insertion mode of the inserted weft, and the horizontal insertion mode of the fine sponge are also selected accordingly. However, it is not necessarily limited to the illustration, and it is needless to say that changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. Moreover, it is also possible to set it as arbitrary patterns besides the parallel pattern by a thin sponge.

  As described above, a required width and a required length, for example, a width of 10 to 30 cm. A raschel knitted fabric cut to a length of 30 to 110 cm is provided with a wavy pattern 4 by the strip sponge c on the surface of the surface side knitted fabric 1 to superpose two front and back surfaces, and the peripheral edge 3 is edged. A bath body towel is created and used for foaming, has good foaming properties, has a good foaming effect, has an excellent cleaning effect, and has a very soft and comfortable use result without damaging the skin. Obtainable.
