In the following description and claims, fur refers to processed, pure natural fur or processed pure fur raw material. The combined clothes using the fiber fabric and the fur as the materials means a clothes having a fiber fabric part and a fur part. Clothing also refers to combination clothing and individual clothing, such as scarves, shirts, coats, and the like. The concept of fur on a pelt refers to the side of the pelt with the fur, while the concept of pelt refers to the pelt side of the pelt. Fur parts also refer to furs which are used in combination garments or semi-finished products and which have been treated to be washable.

Background

In the clothing industry, different kinds of modular clothing made of fabric and fur have existed for a long time. From the standpoint of the wearer of the garment, it is easiest to water wash such combination garments, similar to the washing method for all garments. Dry cleaning of garments can add significant cost and inconvenience. However, garments made of washable fiber fabrics and fur are not yet known in the garment manufacturing industry, which traditionally has focused attention on the planning and development of garment designs and shows, and the knitting and sewing of garments made from existing developmental materials. On the other hand, garment manufacturers have not generally had much interest in how to handle fur material in the production, and for this reason, various methods of handling fur material are not yet known to garment manufacturers.

In addition, the industry for treating clothing materials has mastered different methods for treating textile materials and fur materials, by means of which the end materials used in the clothing industry, such as textile, leather and fur, can be treated independently to make them water-and dust-repellent, using different organic fluorine-containing compounds. Such methods are disclosed, for example, in british patent applications 1015630 and 999975, U.S. patent publications 3994951 and 3330812, publication JP-08081883, FI patent publication 43980 and SE patent publication 214815. However, the above-mentioned patent documents only disclose treating certain special materials with a solution containing a fluorine-containing compound so as to impart water-repellency and dust-repellency to the materials. These documents do not disclose the treatment of fur material, wherein the pelt side and the fur side of the pelt are fixedly connected to each other. Also, these documents do not disclose such washable garments in which the garment has a fur part of which the pelt and the fur on the pelt are fixedly connected to each other.

The water-washable combination garments made of fabric and fur are not at all suitable for consumers, since the materials processing industry does not have to provide the fur garment manufacturing industry with any repeatedly washable finished fur material, which can be directly attached to the fabric in order to manufacture the water-washable combination garments made of fabric and fur.

When a consumer desires to clean a water washable combined garment made of fabric and fur, the fabric part and the fur part of the garment must be dry-cleaned, or the fur part must be detached from the fabric part of the garment, and then the fur part is dry-cleaned and the fabric is washed with water. The above-mentioned drawbacks are caused by the different properties of pure natural fur and fiber fabrics when washed with water. If the fur portions and the fabric portions are firmly fixed to each other and if they are subsequently washed with water, the physical and aesthetic characteristics of the fur on the fur are changed, so that the appearance of the sectional clothes is deteriorated. Although it is possible to make pelts temporarily water-and dust-repellent by spraying the surface of the pelt with different chemicals, for example with the fluorine-containing compounds mentioned in the above description of the prior art, the effect of these compounds is not permanent, on the other hand, spraying with a temporary solution for the purpose of cleaning the clothing is not desired by the average user. Due to the above-mentioned cleaning problem, it is impossible to provide a water washable combination garment made of a fiber fabric and fur as a fixed combination, in addition to a combination garment allowing the fur portion to be detached from the fiber fabric.

Disclosure of Invention

A first object of the invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of previously known water-washable combined garments made of fabrics and furs. A first object of the present invention is to provide a water washable combined garment made of fiber fabric and fur, which can be washed as a combined article. A second object of the present invention is to provide a water washable combined garment made of fiber fabric and fur, which can be repeatedly cleaned with water without additional treatment. A third object of the present invention is to provide a water washable combined garment made of fabric and fur, wherein the fur and the fabric are fixedly attached to each other to form a garment that can withstand washing with water.

The above objects are achieved by the manufacturing method of the present invention for a combination garment and a combination garment made by said method. The method of the present invention for making a combination garment was made on the surprising experimental results of: a fur is provided by treating the fur and hide sides on the fur separately with a solution containing an organic fluorine-containing compound and by fixing a synthetic water-repellent layer to the surface of the material by means of drying and/or heat treatment, which can be fixed to a preferably water-washable fibre fabric. Thus, a combined garment made of fabric and fur is provided, which can be washed with water without detaching the fur part and the fabric part of the combined garment from each other. The material can be subjected to repeated water washing as an assembly by drying and by heat treatment by fixing a water-repellent layer to the surface of the material.

Preferably, the fabric part is washed with water before the fur part is fastened to the fabric.

The above-described treatment method for pelt material differs from the separate treatment methods known in the art for furs for pelts and pelts for pelts mainly in that: in the method disclosed in the present application and in the products manufactured by means of the method, the pelt of the pelt and the fur of the pelt are fixedly connected to each other. The fur of a pelt and the pelt of a pelt have significantly different physico-chemical properties, for which reason no conclusions have been drawn as to the great development on the basis of the various material treatments carried out for the pelts and the pelts, whether or not the process is suitable for the arrangement of the pelts of a pelt and the pelts of a pelt which are firmly connected to one another.

In a preferred embodiment, the pelt is cut into longitudinal strips of pelt before or after the treatment with an organic fluorine-containing compound, which strips are sewn from their ends to form a longitudinal and relatively thin decorative strip of the pelt.

The organic fluorine-containing compound is fluorine-containing resin or fluorinated hydrocarbon.

In a method for making water washable unitized garments of a material of fabric and fur, the rawhide side of the fur is wetted with a solution containing an organic fluorine-containing compound and dried and/or heat treated to form a permanent, microscopically thin water barrier on the collagen fiber surface of the rawhide. Also, the fur side of the fur is wetted with a solution containing an organic fluorine-containing compound and dried by heat treatment to form a permanent, microscopically thin, water-repellent layer on the keratin fiber surface of the fur. Thereafter, the fur portion treated to be water washable is fixed to the water washable fiber fabric portion of the clothes in a fixed manner or in a detachable manner. The fur portion is preferably fixed to the fabric portion of the garment in a fixed manner. The method also comprises conventional processing and drying treatments of the pelts and/or fabrics and/or combination garments. The part of the pelt treated to be water-washable is fastened to a garment made either directly from the pelt or from a piece of fabric fastened to the pelt and having a suitable width. The latter fastening method is suitable when the modular garment is made from water-washable semifinished products.

In a desirable form of embodiment, the pelt is formed into a longitudinal, thin, uniform strip of decor for pelts before or after the treatment of the pelt with the organic fluorine-containing compound. Fur trim strips are commonly used as lining trim for fur garments.

In the water washable combined clothes using the fiber fabric and the fur as the materials according to the present invention, the fur portion is made water washable by treating the fur portion by the method according to the present invention. The fabric part of the fabricated garment is preferably capable of withstanding repeated washing with water and is firmly fixed to the raw leather of the fur part.

The invention also relates to a washable semi-finished product which can be used for the production of (re-) washable combined clothing made of fiber fabric and fur. The semi-finished product comprises a pelt part, the fur side of which can be subjected to repeated washing with water by wetting the fur side with a solution containing organic fluorides and by subsequently drying the fur on the pelt by means of a heat treatment. The pelts on the part of the pelt can likewise be repeatedly washed with water by wetting the pelt on the pelt with a solution of an organic fluorine-containing compound and subsequently treating the pelt by drying and/or heat treatment. Thereafter, a fabric having a desired width can be fixed to the pelt of the fur part. In particular with a view to the requirements of the clothing industry, water-washable semi-finished products with or without a textile fabric are particularly useful, because: the semifinished product can be joined or sewn directly from the fibre fabric to the desired fibre fabric material without having to treat the material separately.

In a desirable form of embodiment, the semi-finished product is a fur decorative strip. A strip of fabric of the desired width is firmly fixed to the pelt side of the pelt decor strip. Therefore, in the production of water-washable combined clothing made of fiber fabric and fur, the water-washable ornament made of fur and fiber fabric can be used as a semi-finished product.

Another embodiment in its desirable form relates to a water washable fur trim strip from a roll of the same.

By means of a roll of the fur decorative strip, the advantage is achieved that the garment manufacturer can cut out a decorative strip of the desired length in relation to the article. This way of using the fur decorations is completely novel in the manufacture of fur clothing. In general, it is necessary for the manufacturing industry to give the size to which the decorations are to be cut, i.e. to give the length of the fur decorations to the manufacturer beforehand.

It may be noted that a further advantage of the combination garment made by the method of the invention is that the combination garment is waterproof in all climatic conditions. The fur portion of the modular garment is also dust-proof, which makes it easier to keep the garment clean. Such a garment can also be subjected to steam ironing, since the pelt side of the pelt part is treated with said solution.

The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1A-1D show different steps in the manufacture of a water washable combination garment from a fabric and a fur material. In fig. 1A, the fluorine-containing resin is sprayed on the pelt side, i.e. the pelt 2 of the pelt 1. In fig. 1B, the skins are dried and the pelts of the skins have been treated with a fluorine-containing resin. FIG. 1C is a longitudinal cross-sectional view taken along the line 1C-1C in FIG. 1B and shows the treatment of the fur side 3 of the pelt with a solution containing a fluorine-containing resin. In fig. 1D, the fur side 3 of the pelt is dried by means of a heat treatment.

Fig. 2 shows a combination clothing article 7 which is formed by attaching the fur 1 treated in the direction shown in fig. 1A-1D to the fabric 5.

Fig. 3A-3D illustrate an embodiment using the pelts treated by the method of the invention for producing water washable combination garments from fabric and pelts and semi-finished products for producing combination garments. Fig. 3A shows the cutting of the pelt 1 treated by the method according to the invention to give washable pelt strips 11, 12, 13, 14 etc. Fig. 3B shows a fur trim strip 10 made of fur strips 11, 12, 13, 14 joined together; 10a (semi-finished product). In fig. 3C, the fur trim strip 10 made of a fabric and fur is shown again; 10b (semi-finished product). Fig. 3D shows a roll of the fur trim strip 10; 10c (semi-finished product), wherein the semi-finished product 10 is used; 10 b.

According to fig. 1A-1D, the hide 2 of the fur 1 of the blue fox is first thoroughly and uniformly moistened with an aqueous solution of a fluorine-containing resin having a pH value of about 5. The pelt is then dried by hanging it on a support by tensioning it with the fastening means 4. After the pelt 2 has been dried, the pelt is removed from the support and the fur 3 on the pelt is sprayed with an aqueous solution of a fluorine-containing resin similar to that of the pelt. The skins were then dried in a heating oven at approximately 70 degrees for 1.5 hours.

However, considering the physico-chemical differences between the skins and hides on pelts, 0.5dl of fluororesin concentrate is normally added for one kilogram dry weight of the pelt material. The concentrate is mixed with water and applied to the fur and hide of the pelt according to the instructions of the manufacturer of the fluorine-containing resin.

The pelts treated in the above-described manner can still be mechanically formed and sewn from the pelt 2 onto the fibre fabric 5 to produce a fixed modular garment 7 of fibre fabric and pelt as materials. In this case, the fiber fabric portion 5 is a combination of wool and silk. Due to the pretreatment of the pelt 2 and the fur 3 of the pelt 1 by means of the fluorine-containing compound, the combined clothing of fibre fabric and pelt can also retain its shape after washing with water. The modular garment may be, for example, a hood of a jacket, a scarf worn outdoors, or the like.

By joining a piece of fabric of a suitable width to the pelt 2, it is also possible to produce a semifinished product of the pelt 1 which has been treated to be washable. With regard to the semi-finished product, it is also possible to make the above-mentioned combined garment made of the fiber fabric and fur by joining the semi-finished product thus obtained to the fiber fabric part 5 of the garment made of the fiber fabric.

In the above-described embodiment, the wetting solution contains the fluorine-containing resin as the organic fluorine-containing compound. Instead of the fluorine-containing resin, the hides of the skins and the hairs can also be treated with other fluorine-containing compounds known in the art to make them water-repellent. Other fluorine-containing compounds that may be employed include, for example, fluorinated hydrocarbons or fluorinated aromatic derivatives, but should not be limited to these. The fur side and the pelt side of the pelt can be treated separately or simultaneously with a solution containing fluoride. Also, the heat treatment may be performed simultaneously or separately. In the above form of embodiment, the pelt from the pelt may be treated with a solution containing an organic fluorine-containing compound before the treatment of the hair on the pelt, but it is equally possible to treat the hair on the pelt before the treatment of the pelt on the pelt.

In the embodiment of the form shown in fig. 3A-3D, after the pelt 1 has been treated in the above-described manner with a solution containing fluorine-containing resins, the pelt 1 is cut into suitable pelt strips 11, 12, 13, 14 (fig. 3A), and the pelt strips 11, 12, 13, 14 can be sewn together by sewing the pelt strips together from the pelt side 12, 22, 23, 24 to form a longitudinal and relatively narrow pelt decor strip 10; 10 a. Subsequently, a fur decorative strip 10a is sewn from the pelt 2 of the fur to the fabric 5a having a desired width to form a piece of the ornament 10 made of the fabric and the fur strip; 10 a. On the one hand, the purpose of the fabric 5a is: the fabric 5a functions as a fixing point when fastening a decorative object made of fabric and fur strips to the fabric part 5 of an ideal garment, and on the other hand, the fabric 5a can cover the seam position 6 of the pelt 2 of the fur. The ornament 10 made of the fiber cloth and the fur strips, because of the preliminary treatment of the rawhide and the fur of the fur part 10; 10b is sufficiently resistant to repeated water washing and the appearance of the ornament does not change in an unsuitable direction. In this case, the fiber fabric 5a is a mixture of wool and silk. As early as this step, the length of the decor made of fabric and pelt strips is equal to the length of the roll of pelt decor strips to be produced. Finally, the fur decoration 10b is rolled to form a fur decoration strip roll 10 to be delivered to a clothing processor; 10c, and (3).
