Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to clothing that can be put on and taken off using a zipper, particularly quick-drying clothing suitable for sports such as training wear.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, upper garments that can be put on and taken off using a zipper in the front have been widely used as casual wear or training wear. Most training wear is manufactured in this form, and the front zipper is a general form of training wear.

As shown in Figure 2, the open part of the zipper is
Insert zipper 2 between and body 4 and sew together.

In addition, a small number of low-priced products may omit the reversing process. However, because there is no turning back, some parts of the zipper are wavy, the body part loses its lining part, and the surface of the garment does not retain its shape and sag, making it not suitable for use as a garment. I can't say that.

Therefore, the open part of a garment with an open zipper generally has a form in which a portion of the zipper is held in a sandwich-like manner between the body and the body part. Most of the body parts on the market are made of the same fabric as the body. In addition, since the fastener base fabric used in this product has a high stiffness, a difference in stiffness tends to occur between the body and the fabric used as the facing, and the open area of the fastener may become uneven in a wavy manner. In order to avoid this drawback, a method is often adopted in which a reinforcing tape-like interlining is adhered to the edge of the body or the edge of the body, and then the zipper is sewn together. In particular, when the fabric used is flexible and has low stiffness, this method is often used.

The open zipper part of the clothes made using these methods is a multi-layer of 6 or more layers including the body, body seam allowance, 7-asner base fabric, seam seam allowance, and 5 layers that overlap the body seam, or interlining. become a part.

Therefore, when the clothes are washed, moisture is trapped between the layers of the clothes, making it difficult for the clothes to release moisture, and the clothes remain damp for a long time without drying completely.

In addition, if there is a pocket, a widely used method is to attach the five ends of the pocket cloth to the wrapper, covering about half of the cloth. Many of the pocket parts are multi-layered with 4 or more layers.
There are pocket openings 6 and the like that have six or more layers including interlining.

Therefore, drying the part of the body, especially around the pocket fabric,
It takes a long time. And most jackets, especially training wear, have pockets.

That is, conventional training wear is manufactured with emphasis on physical properties of the main material, such as strength, elasticity, and melt resistance, functionality as clothing, and fashionability.

In terms of product washing, there were only training wear that took into consideration factors such as washing shrinkage and washing resistance.

Therefore, current training wear and jackets require half a day to - days to dry outdoors after being washed and dehydrated.

Using a dryer will shorten this drying time, but it will not dry completely during short breaks, and yarn balls and fluff will form on the surface of the clothes. Then, problems remain when static electricity is generated and it feels uncomfortable when worn. Additionally, there are very few facilities near the grounds that have laundry facilities, including dryers, so dryers are of little use.

For example, if the jacket is used as athletic clothing for athletes, students belonging to athletic clubs, schoolchildren, and children who need to train several times in one day with several hours of rest in between, Even if you want to wash your sweaty clothes after wearing them, they won't dry completely before your next workout, so you end up wearing them over and over again without washing them, resulting in an unclean and uncomfortable condition.

That is, the open part of a garment with an open zipper and the multi-layered part of the garment and the pocket fabric release moisture slowly, so there is a problem that they do not dry quickly. This is a big problem, especially for training wear that requires a quick-drying function.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention aims to solve the problem of the prior art, which is the poor quick-drying properties of the open zipper part of clothing and the multi-layered part of the pocket fabric and the flap. together.

To provide a general-purpose quick-drying garment which has a super-quick-drying function or a near-quick-drying function, has great shape retention as a garment, is less likely to lose its shape, and has a great aesthetic effect.

The present inventors carried out washing experiments using various washing machines and dryers on semi-finished fabrics and products at each stage before turning them into sheet-like fabrics and products, and found that they were washed with a wide variety of fabrics and shapes. As we continued to research the water absorption properties, we investigated the drying mechanism of the fabric and its shape using thermographic thermal imaging methods, both in the laboratory where a variety of environmental conditions can be set, and outdoors during the four seasons of the year (spring, summer, autumn, and winter). The present invention was completed by conducting research using equipment such as humidity sensors, and performing sensory evaluation and analysis.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides an air flow rate of 150C in the zipper part of clothing.
It is a quick-drying, good-quality clothing made of a fabric with a hardness of C/ltn"/see or higher and a bending resistance of 1.5 crn or higher.

The term "quick-drying clothes" as used in the present invention refers to clothes that can be dried by hanging for a short period of time after being washed and dehydrated at home.

The form of clothing is Jump [Co., Ltd.] suits, jumpers,
Clothing that can be put on and taken off with a zipper, such as a training wear jacket.

The fabric used to form the garment is arbitrary, but for sports use, synthetic fibers such as polyamide fibers, polyester fibers, and polyacrylic fibers, semi-synthetic fibers such as acetate, and recycled main fibers such as rayon and cupro are used. , and cotton
Knitted fabrics and woven fabrics using threads made of natural fibers such as hemp and wool alone or in combination are preferred, and these fabrics are laminated with a polymer such as polyurethane or polyacrylic ester on one or both sides. It's okay.

In particular, fabrics that have been treated to be water-repellent or fabrics that use polyester fibers alone are highly preferred because they have low water absorption and high quick-drying properties.

Further, the zipper side part refers to the body part 1 and the body part seam allowance 1' shown in FIG. 1, and is a fabric that is sewn together with the fastener base fabric 3 together with the body part and body part seam allowance.

The fabric used for the zipper part of clothing in the present invention has an air permeability of 150,007 cm"/sec or more and a bending resistance of 1.
．． 5crr1 or more.

For sports use, synthetic fibers such as polyamide fibers, polyester fibers, and polyacrylic fibers, semi-synthetic fibers such as acetate, regenerated fibers such as rayon and cupro, and natural fibers such as cotton, linen, and wool are used singly or Knitting and woven fabrics using mixed yarns are preferred.

Further, the fabric may be water-repellent treated with a fluorine-based solvent or the like, or may have a polyurethane-based or polyacrylic acid ester-based polymer laminated on one or both sides of the fabric.

The fabric can be produced using a tricot knitting machine, a circular knitting machine, or the like by changing the thickness and structure of the knitting yarn.

By combining tuck knitting and the like to create a mesh knitted fabric, a fabric with excellent quick drying properties can be produced. It can also be produced using a Russell knitting machine.

By arbitrarily selecting one of these knitting machines, the fabric referred to in the present invention can be obtained, and if the knitting structure is mesh-like, net-like, or other with many spaces, a fabric with excellent quick drying properties can be obtained. .

Further, the fabric can also be obtained as a fabric designed to have a coarse weft/warp density. During the drawing process of fabric production, it can be produced by using one warp to pass through the reed feathers (commonly known as two-piece feather insertion), or skipping the reed feathers at the appropriate time and passing the warp thread through (commonly known as empty feathers). Fabrics with coarse weave, tangled weave, and other special textures with a total of about 60 to 120 threads/inch can be produced. Furthermore, if you change the thickness of the thread and add a surface effect,
A fabric that is also aesthetically superior can be obtained.

The air permeability of the fabric as used in the present invention is defined in JIS L-109.
6 Air permeability test method A (using a Frazier type tester) The bending resistance is a value measured by JIS L-1096 bending test method A (45' cantilever method).

In the present invention, the airflow rate measured by this method is 1 socc.
A fabric of cIn, sec or higher is used for the zipper part. When using a fabric with an air permeability of 150,007 cm"/sec or less,
It is the same as when using the same fabric, there is almost no ventilation to the multi-layered part sandwiched between the body and the body, and the quick-drying function is not satisfied. In addition, the air permeability of the fabric is 250,007 cm”/
□□□ or above is more preferable because it has a great quick-drying effect. Further, a fabric having an air permeability of 400 CC/cm"7 sec or more is more preferable because it has a remarkable quick drying effect due to air permeation.

In addition, it is necessary that the bending resistance of the fabric be 1.5 cW1 or more. Fabrics with a bending resistance of less than 1.5 cm are soft and have little tension and are often used for women's blouses, etc., and are not suitable as fabrics for reeds and zippers.

If the fabric has a bending resistance of less than 1.5 cm, it will not be able to fully support a portion of the sewn fastener, resulting in wavy unevenness and partially compressed areas. This is not preferable since this location becomes a location with poor quick-drying properties and reduces the quick-drying properties of the entire garment.

In addition, the endpapers also lack the necessary function of adjusting the base-holding properties of the body. Bending resistance is 1.5c! If it is n or more, it has the same tension and stiffness as the zipper base fabric, so
Since slow-drying areas due to wavy irregularities do not occur, it functions as a facing fabric for quick-drying clothing. In order to maintain the shape retention properties of the body, a bending resistance of 2 or more is more preferable.

Further, a fabric having the same degree of bending resistance as the fabric used for the body is highly preferable. Furthermore, it is desirable that the fastener base fabrics have similar bending resistance.

The thickness of the fabric is arbitrary, but in order to improve quick drying properties, it is preferably 2trrm or less, more preferably 11rrm or less.
r! R or less. If the thickness is 2 or more, the seam allowance thickness of a part of the fastener will be very large and the ventilation effect will be reduced, making it unsuitable. The basis weight of the fabric is arbitrary, but in order to obtain quick drying and great return, a fabric weight of 25 (1/m!) or less is preferable, and a fabric weight of 20,097 m'' or less is more preferable. In some cases, the fabric has a high density or a large thickness, which reduces the ventilation effect and does not function as a cover for quick-drying clothing, which is undesirable.

The texture of the fabric is also arbitrary, but it must be able to maintain the aesthetics of the garment made from the fabric. And, it blends well with the outer material used for the body.
A texture similar to that of the outer material is particularly preferred.

The most preferable sub-material for the garment is a pocket fabric that has been treated to be water repellent and has a zipper that provides good ventilation, thereby enhancing its function as a quick-drying garment.

In addition, by combining water-repellent zippers and using highly breathable fabric for pocket fabrics, multi-layered parts can prevent water absorption and provide quick-drying properties, making the clothing extremely quick-drying and extremely fast-drying. This is a preferred method for making clothes that can be called dry clothes.

(Example) The evaluation method for the examples is as follows.

The products and zipper parts were washed, dehydrated, hung to dry in a room where constant temperature and humidity can be maintained, and then hung to dry indoors to examine changes in moisture content and time required for drying. Moisture change is the weight (1o) after controlling the temperature and humidity for 24 hours.

A jacket having the same design and size as in Example 2 was prepared using only 40% cotton jersey (basis weight: 285 f/ml, thickness: 1.0 mm).

In other words, both the body and outer fabric are made of the same fabric.

This jacket was washed, dehydrated and dried in the same manner as in Example 2.

The evaluation results are shown in Table 1.

Table 1 (Effects of the invention) The garment of the invention has high breathability at the zipper part,
Made of stretchy material, this training wear dries quickly. For example, it can be easily washed and dried during training sessions performed several times a day, and can be used as quick-drying athletic clothing to keep the body clean and comfortable.

Furthermore, in the past, the long drying time meant that the user had to prepare and carry several pieces of training wear, but with the clothes of the present invention, there is no need to do this and only one piece of training wear is required.
