The present invention related to an eco-friendly handle leather capable of removing moistures which is winded around a handle to absorb waters and have slip resistance, thus obtaining hygroscopicity and environmental friendly.
A conventional elongated handle leather is winded around handle/grip of a sports equipment or a handheld object to obtain anti-slip purpose and to absorb hand's sweat of a user, thus avoiding slippery gripping removal from the handle/grip.
The conventional handle leather is natural leather, such as cowhide, but it causes high fabrication cost and poor water absorption, thus having stinky smell, inflexibility, and crack to the conventional handle leather.
To obtain an improved handle leather having comfort touching sense, the improved handle leather contains a polyurethane (PU) film, a carrier adhered on a bottom of the PU film and made of non-woven cloth/fabric. However, the PU film will crack and harden after a period of using time. Furthermore, the carrier has multiple fabric stacked layers to cause inflexibility and poor moisture removal, thus reducing gripping comfort.
The PU film is made of 100% dimethylformamide (DMF) by melting PU polyester pellets and laminating, when the PU film is soaked with waters, the water will react with DMF so that multiple holes are formed on the PU film, but the DMF will damage hand's skin of the user, and it is not in compliance with environmental requirements.
After coating adhesive and adhering the PU film with the carrier, the multiple holes are formed, but the carrier will have poor water absorption because it is made of non-woven cloth/fabric, and the water cannot be eliminated or absorbed via the multiple holes, thus accumulating the water in the handle/grip to lose dryness and anti-slip function. In addition, the handle/grip is wet and has poor durability and using comfort.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
The primary aspect of the present invention is to provide an eco-friendly handle leather which contains a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film and a homogeneous hot-melt adhesion film connected on the TPU film to form a pseudo-adhering sheet; before the pseudo-adhering sheet and the carrier are polymerized, the pseudo-adhering sheet and the carrier are punched to form multiple large-diameter suction holes; and multiple small-diameter suction holes are formed around the multiple large-diameter suction holes, such that the TPU film, the homogeneous hot-melt adhesion film, the carrier and the pseudo-adhering sheet are pressed in a heating and pressurizing manner to polymerize a leather material with a predetermined thickness, the pseudo-adhering sheet is physically polymerized with the carrier via the homogeneous hot-melt adhesion film securely and tightly after being heated and pressurized; and the carrier exposes outside or extends out of the multiple large-diameter suction holes and the multiple small-diameter suction holes, thus producing the eco-friendly handle leather, such that waters expose outside or directly contact with the carrier in a close distance so as to be further absorbed downward, thus drying the handle leather when gripping the handle leather, and the eco-friendly handle leather absorbs the waters effectively.
Secondary aspect of the present invention is to provide an eco-friendly handle leather which is anti-slip by using TPU film and carrier so that the handle leather on the handle rebounds when a handle is released after being grasped to obtain using comfort.
Third aspect of the present invention is to provide an eco-friendly handle leather which contains the TPU film, a homogeneous hot-melt adhesion film connected on a bottom of the TPU film to form a pseudo-adhering sheet to obtaining using durability, wherein the TPU film is configured to physically polymerize the pseudo-adhering sheet with the carrier without using adhesive and dimethylformamide (DMF), thus obtaining a using safety of the eco-friendly handle leather to protect a user's skin.
Another aspect of the present invention is to provide an eco-friendly handle leather which is flexible, wherein the carrier is made of the hygroscopic weave cloth and is polymerized with the pseudo-adhering sheet tightly, wherein when a thickness of the hygroscopic weave cloth of the carrier is increased, water and vibration absorption capabilities of the hygroscopic weave cloth is enhanced to achieve using comfort.

Thereby, the pseudo-adhering sheet 2 is physically polymerized with the carrier 3 via the homogeneous hot-melt adhesion film 22 securely and tightly after being heated and pressurized, and the carrier 3 (i.e., the hygroscopic weave cloth) exposes outside or extends out of the multiple large-diameter suction holes 2A and the multiple small-diameter suction holes 2B, thus producing the eco-friendly handle leather 42 (as shown in
