The present invention relates to a method of weaving a camouflage fabric using a jacquard loom, and more particularly to provide a camouflage fabric woven from dyed yarns used as warps and wefts, which may have different color arrangements of the warps and the wefts and express a camouflage pattern through combinations of various patterns and colors so as to exert excellent functionality of clothing and camouflaging effect.
In general, fabrics for military uniforms which satisfy both functions of clothing and a camouflaging function may be regarded as the best fabrics for military uniforms.
In order to satisfy these functions, various countries around the world have developed and applied fabrics for military uniforms of camouflage patterns which are suitable for their own geographies and, recently, we have also applied digital combat uniforms which are printed with a pattern disguised as Korean geography instead of a previous Korean camouflage pattern.
Further, military uniforms corresponding to functional clothing distinguish soldiers from other groups and have a symbolic function of making soldiers feel a sense of belonging to an army group. Thus, military uniforms may be regarded as clothing having a combination of a large number of functions in terms of clothing.
Recently, in order to satisfy such multifunctionality, a fabric woven with a rip stop texture expressed in a checkerboard pattern is acquired and is then printed through a digital printing method, thus expressing a designated pattern.
A military uniform, made of a rip stop fabric printed through such a digital printing method, has a low three-dimensional effect and a poor texture due to the even surface of the fabric, and is limited in color expression and thus has a decreased camouflaging effect because the fabric is printed using only a set number of colors for printing.
Further, post-treatments, such as printing of the woven fabric, steaming of the fabric to fix dyes to the fabric and washing of the fabric after steaming, require significant time and cost.
As related art documents in relation to weaving of camouflage fabrics, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1996-0000874 entitled “Narrow Band Laser Apparatus” (Patent Document 1), Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1989-0002178 entitled “Method for Manufacturing Camouflage Cloth against Infrared Detection” (Patent Document 2) and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1989-0002179 entitled “Method for Manufacturing Camouflage Cloth with Complex Color Pattern Printing against Visual and Infrared Detection” (Patent Document 3) are proposed.
However, the methods disclosed in the above-described Patent Documents, in which a woven fabric is printed using dyes of composite colors, are insufficient to exert an excellent three-dimensional effect, a good texture and a high camouflaging effect.
In order to solve such drawbacks, the present inventor(s) filed Korean Patent No. 10-1677929 entitled “Camouflaging Fabrics by Jacquard Loom and Its Weaving Method” (Patent Document 4).
In Patent Document 4, yarns are dyed first, and the dyed yarns are woven as warps and wefts into a fabric using a jacquard loom so as to simultaneously express a delicate sense of colors of a check type by arranging the warps and wefts by gradation and a three-dimensional camouflage pattern with a jacquard texture, and thus the fabric may satisfy functions of clothing, such as aesthetics, and a camouflaging effect serving as an important function of a military uniform and be used as the best fabric for military uniforms having economic efficiency.
However, the method of Patent Document 4 is disadvantageous in that it takes a long time to sequentially arrange the warps and the wefts by gradation during a preparation process of the warps and the wefts.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a camouflage fabric which simplifies a preparation process of warps and wefts so as to assure convenience in warp and weft preparation and acquires combinations of various patterns and colors using a three-ply fabric structure so as to satisfy aesthetics, i.e., one of functions of clothing, and to have an excellent camouflaging effect.
In accordance with the present invention, the above and other objects can be accomplished by the provision of a method of weaving a camouflage fabric in which dyed yarns of a dark color and dyed yarns of a light color are alternately arranged as warps, dyed yarns of three colors differing from the colors of the warps are used as wefts, and the warps and the wefts are woven into the camouflage fabric of a three-ply jacquard texture using a jacquard loom so that the camouflage fabric has combinations of various patterns and colors.
The above and other objects, features and other advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.
Hereinafter, weaving of a camouflage fabric in accordance with the present invention will be described in detail.
The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a camouflage fabric 10 which is woven from dyed yarns as warps and wefts using a jacquard loom so as to have a jacquard texture through combinations of desired patterns and colors.
Most jacquard looms which are recently used now are electronic jacquard looms, and an electronic jacquard loom weaves a fabric by selecting dyed yarns of various colors satisfying shapes and colors of patterns expressed in a camouflage fabric as warps and wefts, making a weaving design and a structural textile design to be used, programming them into a file, and inputting the programmed file into a controller of the electronic jacquard loom.
Here, sizes and colors of patterns 20 of the camouflage fabric are selected so as to be suitable for camouflage in consideration of characteristics of geography.
Particularly, the present invention provides the camouflage fabric 10 of a jacquard texture woven using a jacquard loom, which has an excellent camouflaging effect and improves tactility and aesthetics, which a printed camouflage fabric may not provide, while satisfying an aesthetic sense of camouflage fabrics of a spotted pattern or a digital pattern, which are widely used now in various countries in the world, using characteristics of the jacquard fabric.
Particularly, the camouflage fabric 10 in accordance with the present invention may minimize the number of colors of dyed yarns used as warps and wefts and be formed through combinations of various shapes and colors of the patterns 20 using a jacquard texture.
As warps, dyed yarns of two colors, i.e., a color A and a color B, are arranged. Here, the necessary number of strands of the warps is uniformly arranged (warping) and wound on a warp beam (beaming), the warps wound on the warp beam are inserted into healds and a reed of the jacquard loom according to a weaving design, i.e., a structural textile design, (drawing-in), and the warp beam is installed at the jacquard loom (looming), and thereby the warps are prepared.
At this time, two colors having brightnesses which are clearly distinguishable from each other, i.e., having a large brightness difference, may be used as the colors of the warps, i.e., the color A and the color B.
For example, warps of a dark color and a light color, such as dark navy and beige, may be alternately arranged.
Further, although the warps used in the present invention are not limited to a specific material, T/C or T/R blended yarns are mainly used as the warps.
As wefts, dyed yarns of three colors differing from the colors of the warps, i.e., a color C, a color D and a color E, are repeatedly arranged. Here, although the wefts are not limited to a specific material, T/C or T/R blended yarns are mainly used as the wefts.
When preparation of the warps and the wefts according to the weaving design is completed, as described above, the jacquard loom is operated to weave the camouflage fabric 10. Here, the warps of the color A and the warps of the color B having a large brightness difference are raised and lowered to form a shedding portion, the wefts of the color C, the wefts of the color D and the wefts of the color E are sequentially inserted into the shedding portion of the warps and, thus, the camouflage fabric 10 is woven by interlacing the warps with the wefts according to the structural textile design and shapes and colors of the patterns 20 are varied according to structural forms of the warps and the wefts during the above weaving process.
In the present invention, warps of two or more colors and wefts of three or more colors may be used and, in this case, the patterns 20 of the woven camouflage fabric 10 may be expressed in a wider variety of colors.
A method of weaving a camouflage fabric in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The present invention provides a method of weaving a camouflage fabric 10 using an electronic jacquard loom, including determining shapes and colors of patterns 20 of the camouflage fabric 10 desired to be woven, determining colors of warps and wefts expressing the colors of the patterns 20, making a weaving design and a structural textile design to express the shapes and colors of the patterns 20 using the warps and the wefts, programming them into a file, and inputting the programmed file to a controller of the electronic jacquard loom so as to weave the camouflage fabric 10.
Conditions of the warps and the wefts to acquire the camouflage fabric 10 shown in
Dyed yarns of two colors are alternately arranged and prepared as the warps necessary to weave the camouflage fabric 10. Here, warps of colors having a large brightness difference may be used.
In the present invention, warps of dark navy having low brightness are used as first warps WP1, and warps of beige having high brightness are used as second warps WP2.
As the wefts, dyed yarns of three colors differing from the colors of the warps are repeatedly arranged. Here, wefts of navy are used as first wefts WT1, wefts of brown are used as second wefts WT2, and wefts of khaki are used as third wefts WT3.
In the present invention, blended yarns of T/C34s having a blending ratio of 65:35 of polyester to cotton are used as the first and second warps WP1 and WP2, and blended yarns of T/C45s/2 having a blending ratio of 65:35 of polyester to cotton are used as the first, second and third wefts WT1, WT2 and WT3.
The above-described kinds, blending ratios and sizes of the warps and the wefts are exemplarily described as the conditions used in one embodiment of the present invention, and the warps and the wefts are not limited thereto. That is, the conditions of the warps and the wefts may be changed.
