The present invention relates to a method for providing weaving material, and particularly to a method for producing thread using nonwoven.
The textile industry is an industry of manufacturing textile goods using a variety of textile raw materials. The main fabrication processes include fiber production, spinning, textile manufacturing, dyeing and printing, finishing, and the final read-to-wear business. The textile industry is an important civil industry of a country. The applications of textile goods include the ready-to-wear business, the upholstery, and the industrial products. The ready-to-wear business includes garments for men, women, and children. The upholstery includes furniture, domestic goods, and domestic decorative cloth, etc. The industrial products include conveyers in factories, filtering cloth, and outdoor tent appliances. In addition, textile goods can be applied to shoemaking and interior decoration of transportations (automobiles or airplanes). Their applications are extremely extensive. Among them, the read-to-wear industry occupies the most significant proportion.
In general, weaving can be classified into knitting and tatting:
In addition, there exists a textile formed without the spinning process. Firstly, a fiberweb structure is formed by arranging short fibers or long filaments at fixed orientation or randomly. Then, a mechanical, thermal bonding, or chemical method is adopted to fix the fiberweb structure. To put it in a nutshell, the textile is not formed by interweaving or knitting threads of yarn, but is formed by bonding fibers together through a physical means directly. Thereby, it is not possible to find any end of a thread in the textile. Nonwoven breakthroughs traditional weaving principles with the advantages of short manufacturing process, fast production speed, high throughput, low cost, wide applications, and having varied material sources. The main applications include:
Nonwoven can be classified into:
Accordingly, before weaving process, taking polymer material as an example, the preparation process is very complicated including synthesis, reeling, and spinning. During reeling and spinning, mechanical strength of fibers is extremely important because fibers are reeled and pulled by machines. If the mechanical strength of fibers is not enough, difficulties will result. The present invention provides a method using nonwoven as the yarn, eliminating the need of considering mechanical characteristics of fibers while the nonwoven includes different materials.
An objective of the present invention is to provide a method for producing thread using nonwoven, which can provide nonwoven yarns for applying into a weave procedure without the need of considering physical characteristics, such as strength and stress, of fibers.
In order to achieve the objectives and effects described above, the present invention provides a method for producing thread using nonwoven, which discloses that nonwoven including different materials is slit first, and obtaining a plurality of nonwoven threads, and then the nonwoven threads are used for a twisting process to get a plurality of nonwoven yarns. In the twisting process, the nonwoven yarns with different materials have good mechanical characteristics and can be added for producing textiles with various functionalities while each of the nonwoven threads are manufactured from the nonwoven with different materials.
In order to make the structure and characteristics as well as the effectiveness of the present invention to be further understood and recognized, the detailed description of the present invention is provided as follows along with preferred embodiments and accompanying figures.
The present invention uses nonwoven as the yarn, and weaves with itself or yarn of other materials to produce cloth.
Further, due to the nonwoven made of different materials, the shapes of the patterns or the stamps would be contoured obviously. For example, the appearance effect of the cloth is determined by the different depth of the stamp on the cloth. On the other hand, the solid impression of the cloth would be enhanced by the different depth of the stamp caused by the different materials arranged cross each other.
Because nonwoven has the physical characteristics of softness, using it as the yarn can increase usability of cloth. In addition, by taking advantage of the softness characteristics of nonwoven along with various weaving schemes, different appearances and applications can be provided.
The nonwoven described above is the fabrics manufactured by bonding, needle punching, water mangling, heat melting, spunbonding, and meltblowing using different materials as the raw material. The nonwoven described in the present invention is not the technological characteristic of the present invention. Thereby, cloth manufactured by wetlaid, drylaid, or polymer extrusion can be used as well.
Furthermore, the weaving methods according to the present invention include tatting, knitting, plain weaving, or mesh weaving. Taking tatting as an example and referring to
Because yarn with different materials, which includes polymer, metal, or nonmetal materials, can be woven with the nonwoven yarns according to the present invention, textiles with various functionalities can produced. Besides, tatting or knitting or plain weaving or mesh weaving can be applied during weaving. Furthermore, the light shielding characteristic of the cloth is further made from the plain weaving or mesh weaving.
Accordingly, the present invention conforms to the legal requirements owing to its novelty, non-obviousness, and utility. However, the foregoing description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, not used to limit the scope and range of the present invention. Those equivalent changes or modifications made according to the shape, structure, feature, or spirit described in the claims of the present invention are included in the appended claims of the present invention.
This Application is a Continuation-in-Part of patent application Ser. No. 12/438,381, filed 23 Sep. 2009, currently pending.
