Description
FABRIC FOR MOISTURE MANAGEMENT
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
The invention relates In general to a fabric for wicking sweat or moisture, and more particularly to a fabric which wicking sweat or moisture by the difference of capillarity between two fibers composing the fabric.
Description of the Related Art
To facilitate absorption of the perspiration of the wearer, garments are preferably made of a textile fabric consisting of natural fiber such as cotton, silk or linen, or by a blend of natural and synthetic fibers. Such garments cannot quickly disperse the moisture away from the skin, though they can absorb perspiration from the skin. This kind of perspiration-absorbed garments require a period of time to evaporate moisture so that wearers will feel cold and clammy.
A composite textile fabric having moisture management characteristics is disclosed in an U.S. patent application, serial number 08/569,610 dated August, 12th, 1995 by
Patrick Yeh. A composite textile fabric for wicking moisture away from the skin of the wearer and transporting moisture from its skin-side surface to the opposite surface. The fabric includes a skin-side fabric layer of a relative high denier; and an outer fabric layer which includes filaments of a relatively low denier in order to pull perspiration and other body fluids from the first fabric layer.
However, the above-mentioned textile fabric has a limitation that the denier of the outer layer must be lower than that of the skin-side layer. Also, the ability of moisture dispersing is proportional to the denier ratio of the skin-side layer to the outer layer. In other words, in order to increase the ability of moisture dispersing, the denier difference of these two layers is desired to elevate. Therefore, though reducing the denier of the outer layer improves the ability of moisture dispersing, the wearability of the textile fabric gets worse, especially not suitable to clothing for labors. On the other hand, if the denier of the outer layer is increased, concerning the wearability, the denier of the skin-side layer should be increased to maintain the ability of moisture dispersing, which causes rough-textured skin-side layer.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a fabric for moisture management without the limitation of denier ratio but having the advantages of high wearability and comfortable texture. Moreover, the denier of the outer layer can be conditionally increased to enlarge the inter-fiber space of the outer layer which consequently increases the ventilation and the easy dry-out effect.
It is another object of the invention to provide a fabric for moisture management including a number of first fibers and a number of second fibers, wherein at least the second fibers include the configurations for enhancing capillarity. Therefore, the second fibers have stronger capillarity. Theses two fibers are fabricated to form the fabric for dispersing moisture with the first fibers mainly on one surface of the fabric and the second fibers mainly on another surface of the fabric. Consequently, the moisture absorbed by the first fibers can be easily transferred to the second fibers due to the difference of the capillarity.
It is further one object of the invention to provide a fabric for moisture management formed by fibers rendered hydrophilic treatment.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a fabric for moisture management formed by synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon and acrylic.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a fabric for moisture management formed by a least a layer of fibers having sockets for improving capillarity.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a fabric for moisture
management fabricated by knitting, weaving or non-woven.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a fabric for moisture management formed by regenerated fibers.
It is another object of the invention to provide a fabric for moisture management including a number of first fibers and a number of second fibers, wherein the first fibers include the configurations for enhancing capillarity and the second fibers include the configurations for further enhancing capillarity. The second fibers have stronger capillarity. Theses two fibers are fabricated to form the fabric for dispersing moisture with the first fibers mainly on one surface of the fabric and the second fibers mainly on another surface of the fabric. Consequently, the moisture absorbed by the first fibers can be easily transferred to the second fibers due to the difference of the capillarity.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred but non-limiting embodiments. The description is made with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figures I A to I C are schematically cross-sectional views of the fabrics according to the present invention;
Figures 2A to 2B are schematically cross-sectional views of the one-side knitted ) structures of the fabrics according to the first and the second preferred embodiments of the
present invention; and
Figures 2C to 2D are schematically cross-sectional views of the woven structures
of the fabrics according to the third and the fourth preferred embodiments of the present invention DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The moisture dispersing material according to the present invention is mainly
composed of two fibers. The fibers can be synthetic fibers, regenerated fibers or the
mixture of the two. The ingredients of the synthetic fibers are one or more than one
elements selected from the group consisting of polyester, nylon or acrylic. These two
fibers can be rendered hydrophilic treatment. Referring to Figure 1 A, the two-layer
structure in Figure I A is only for illustrating the skin-side layer and the outer layer but not
the real structure of the fabric of the invention. The first surface 11, such as the inner layer
(the surface contacting with the skin ), includes fibers of less capillarity. The second layer
12, opposite to the first layer, such as the outer layer (the surface not contacting the skin ), includes fibers of stronger capillarity. Therefore, the perspiration in the skin can be first
absorbed by the first surface 11 and then transferred to the second layer 12 by the stronger
capillarity.
Referring to Figure 1B, the fabric for moisture dispersing of one preferred embodiment of the present invention is composed of a number of the first fibers 13 and a
number of the second fibers 14. A majority or all of the second fibers 14 includes the
configuration 15 which improves capillarity. The configuration 15 can be, for example,
socket, goffer, pile, aperture, scale or cranny. The configuration 15 can be formed by
weight reducing treatment or other processes. Consequently, the capillarity of the fibers 14 enhanced by the configuration 15 is stronger than that of the fibers 13 induced only by the inter-fiber space. The moisture absorbed by the first fibers 13 can be transferred to the second fibers 14 because of the difference of the capillarity.
Referring to Figure 1 C, , the fabric for moisture dispersing of another preferred embodiment of the present invention is composed of a number of the first fibers 16 and a number ofthe second fibers 17 A majority or all of the first fibers 16 and the second fibers 17 respectively include configuration 18 and configuration 19 which improves capillarity.
The configuration 18 and the configuration 19 can be, for example, socket, goffer, pile, aperture, scale or cranny. The configuration 18 and the configuration 19 can be formed by, for example, weight reducing treatment or other processes. The configuration 18 of the first fibers 16 and the configuration 19 of the second fibers 17 can be similar or different.
Preferably, the capillarity of the second fibers 17 enhanced by the configuration 19 is stronger than that of the first fibers 16 induced only by the inter-fiber space. These can be achieved by forming the second fibers 17 with smaller and more socket, goffer, pile, aperture, scale or cranny. Therefore, the moisture absorbed by the first fibers 16 can be transferred to the second fibers 17 because of the difference of the capillarity.
It is therefore to be understood that the fabric for moisture management is efficient in absorbing moisture from the skin and transferring the moisture to the outer layer for dispersing without the lirnitation of denier ratio. The fabric of the present invention is successful in moisture dispersing simply by the capillarity difference of the two fibers, the capillarity ofthe second fibers enhanced by the configurations larger than that of first fibers induced by the configurations and/or the inter-fiber space. Therefore, the fabric of the present invention can be fabricated as a fabric having a higher denier outer layer and a lower denier skin-side layer, a fabric having a lower denier outer layer and a higher denier skin-side layer, and a fabric of two equal denier layers according to its application.
The fabric illustrated in Figure I B has superb ability of dispersing moisture due to the fact that the majority or most of the second fibers include the configurations contributing capillarity. Further more, the fabric illustrated in Figure IC has superior ability of dispersing moisture and absorbing moisture from the skin since even the first fibers, skin-side fibers, include the configurations contributing capillarity.
The fabric of the present invention can be fabricated by, for example, knitting or weaving to form a fabric having one fiber layer with configurations contributing capillarity or to form another fabric further having two fiber layers with configurations contributing different capillarity. Moreover, the fabric of the present can also be formed to be nonwoven by resin or ultrasound. The followings is the further explanation of knitting and weaving.
Referring to Figure 2A, the fabric according to the first embodiment of the present invention is fabricated by single-side knitting, using two sets of yarns. A number ofthe first fibers 21 are displayed on one surface of the fabric, such as the first surface. A number of the second fibers 22 are displayed on another surface of the fabric, such as the second surface. The second fibers 22 include the configurations contributing the capillarity. The capillarity of the second fibers 22 is higher than the capillarity of the first fibers 21 mainly caused by the inter-fiber spaces. Therefore, the fabric according to the first embodiment of the present invention has superb ability of moisture dispersing.
Referring to Figure 2B, the fabric according to the second embodiment of the present invention is fabricated by single-side knitting, using two sets of yarns. A number of the first fibers 23 are displayed on one surface of the fabric, such as the first surface. A number of the second fibers 24 are displayed on another surface of the fabric, such as the second surface. The first fibers 23 include the configurations contributing the capillarity.
Moreover, the second fibers 24 include the configurations contributing even stronger capillarity. The capillarity of the second fibers 24 is higher than the capillarity of the first fibers 23 caused by their configuration and the inter-fiber spaces. Therefore, the fabric according to the second embodiment of the present invention has superior ability of moisture dispersing.
Besides single-side knitting, the fabric of the present invention can also be fabricated by two-side knitting, such as two-side PK, to display the first and the second fibers on the first and second surfaces, respectively.
Referring to Figure 2C, the fabric according to the third embodiment of the present invention is fabricated by weaving. A number of the first fibers 25 are displayed on one surface of the fabric, such as the first surface. A number of the second fibers 26 are displayed on another surface of the fabric, such as the second surface. The second fibers 26 include the configurations contributing the capillarity. The capillarity of the second fibers 26 is higher than the capillarity of the first fibers 25 mainly caused by the inter-fiber spaces. Therefore, the fabric according to the first embodiment of the present invention has superb ability of moisture dispersing.
Referring to Figure 2D, the fabric according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention is fabricated by weaving. A number of the first fibers 27 are displayed on one surface of the fabric, such as the first surface. A number of the second fibers 28 are displayed on another surface of the fabric, such as the second surface. The first fibers 27 include the configurations contributing the capillarity. Moreover, the second fibers 28 include the configurations contributing even stronger capillarity. The capillarity of the second fibers 28 is higher than the capillarity of the first fibers 27 caused by their configuration and the inter-fiber spaces. Therefore, the fabric according to the second embodiment of the present invention has superior ability of moisture dispersing.
Besides the above-mentioned methods, the fabric of the present invention can also be fabricated as nonwoven or other method only if the capillarity of the outer layer is stronger than that of the skin-side layer.
Therefore, it is understood by the ones skilled in this art that the fabric for dispersing moisture of the present invention has the following advantages:
1. The fabric of the present invention is not limited to the certain denier ratio.
2. The fibers of the outer layer need not to be too thin so that bigger spaces can be
retained for ventilation making the fabric easily drying out.
3. The denier of the skin-side layer fibers need not to be larger than that of the outer
layer fibers. Consequently, the skin-side layer fibers can be fibers with lower
denier, even smaller than the denier of the outer layer fiber to obtain a fine and
delicate fabric.
4. The outer layer fibers can be thicker fibers so that the fabric of the present
invention will have superior wearability.
While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of a preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements and procedures, and the scope of the appended claims therefore should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements and procedures.
