Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a woven cloth.
Description of the Prior Art
A conventional woven cloth is shown in patents TW M455021, TW M445027, and publication TW 200922780. The woven cloth is woven by threads along a longitudinal directions and a horizontal direction. The threads must be woven tightly to prevent the cloth from deforming, but the gaps among the threads are too narrow so that the cloth cannot breathe well.
In addition, the tightly woven cloth has a restricted resilience. For example, if the cloth is used on a shoe surface, the surface may be too tight so as to reduce the comfort.
Besides, when some sections on the cloth must have different resilience, another piece of cloth having different resilience has to be assembled with the original cloth. Thus, it is difficult to manufacture, and the resilience is not continuous.
The main object of the present invention is to provide a woven cloth which breathe freely and is resilient so as to provide excellent softness and strength of structure.
To achieve the above and other objects, the woven cloth is composed of a plurality of longitudinal threads and a plurality of horizontal threads. Each of the longitudinal threads is woven by a plurality of filaments. The longitudinal threads are spacedly arranged parallel. The horizontal threads are spacedly arranged and are woven with the longitudinal threads so that the woven cloth has a plurality of holes among the longitudinal threads and the horizontal threads. Each of the horizontal thread is tied with the longitudinal threads to form a plurality of knots. Each of the knots is located between two adjacent ones of the holes.
Thereby, the woven cloth can breathe freely due to the holes, and the resilience is improved, specifically along an oblique direction. Besides, the softness is improved because of the tube-shaped threads.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment(s) in accordance with the present invention.

In the present embodiment, each of the longitudinal threads 11 can be a hollow thread. However, in other possible embodiments, each of the longitudinal threads can be flat or column-shaped. Besides, each of the horizontal threads 20 forms at least one the knot 21 between any two adjacent ones of the longitudinal threads 11. A distance between any two adjacent ones of the longitudinal threads is 0.5 to 5 times an external diameter of each of the longitudinal threads. A distance between any two adjacent ones of the horizontal threads is at least 0.5 to 5 times the external diameter of each of the longitudinal threads. The distance between any two adjacent ones of the horizontal threads 20 is at least triple the external diameter of each of the horizontal threads 20. The external diameter of each of the longitudinal threads 11 is at least triple the external diameter of each of the horizontal threads 20. Optionally, the longitudinal threads 11 are warp threads and each a part of a single woven thread 10. In addition, the longitudinal threads have a color different from that of the horizontal threads.
Specifically, each of the longitudinal threads 11 comprises 8 to 32 the filaments. Each of the longitudinal threads 11 is 100 to 500 denier. Each of the horizontal threads 20 is 200 to 800 denier. The external diameter of each of the longitudinal threads 11 is 0.1 to 0.2 cm. The external diameter of each of the horizontal threads 20 is 0.01 to 0.1 cm.
In other possible embodiments, a distance between at least two adjacent ones of the horizontal threads 20 is not constant so that the horizontal threads are arranged unevenly. Thus, uneven resilience and unique appearance can be provided.
Optionally, each of the hollow longitudinal threads can be inserted with a central thread 32.
In conclusion, the holes of the woven cloth make the woven cloth breathe freely, and improved resilience is also provided, specifically along the oblique direction. Besides, the density and the arrangement of the horizontal threads may provide uneven resilience for multi-purpose use. Thus, it is not necessary to take plural pieces of materials having different resilience to assemble into a single piece of cloth.
Optionally, the threads can be made of resilient material, and the horizontal threads can be woven by various filaments, such as filaments in different colors, resilience, or diameters.
