Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a towel cloth that can have toughness, antibacterial properties, and quick-drying properties while having original properties such as water absorption and flexibility, and a stretcher using the towel cloth.

  Conventionally, we proposed a towel fabric with antibacterial properties and flexibility using chemical and natural fibers for warp and weft, and a medical transport cloth with toughness and antibacterial properties using chemical fibers for warp and weft. These proposals have been made and are known techniques.

  As a proposal of the toweling cloth having antibacterial properties and flexibility in the above, for example, there is excessive stimulation such as nylon towel by synthetic fibers, non-irritating feeling of cotton towels by natural fibers and poor soap foaming, mixed twist of natural synthetic fibers A “bath towel for bath” (Patent Document 1) that eliminates the unsatisfactory feeling of cotton nylon towels or the like has been proposed.

  However, the above-mentioned proposal of “bath body towel” is intended to improve the feeling of use of the body towel, and does not have the original water absorption property of the towel. It was not a proposal to pursue toughness for multipurpose use.

  In addition, it has good touch of natural fiber, good foaming of chemical fiber, easy drying of chemical fiber, and durability, and it can be used not only as a cleaning tool for bath body towels, but also easy to manufacture. In addition, there has been proposed a “knitted fabric and cleaning tool” (Patent Document 2) that can reduce the manufacturing cost.

  However, the proposal for the above-mentioned “knitted fabric and cleaning tool” is a proposal for improving the feeling of use in the body towel and the cost reduction in the manufacturing process, and as in the above, it has the original water absorption property of the towel. It was not a proposal to pursue toughness for multipurpose use.

  In addition, as a proposal of a medical transport cloth having toughness and antibacterial properties, “sheets” (Patent Document 3) that can easily and inexpensively manufacture a cloth structure used for a stretcher or an emergency bed has been proposed.

  However, since the proposal of the above-mentioned “sheet” is a sheet formed by laminating a cotton nonwoven fabric layer, a resin film layer, and a split fabric layer, each layer requires a complicated manufacturing process, and those woven fabrics are also required. Laminating the layers requires special techniques and manufacturing machines, and does not have water absorption like toweling.

  The applicant shall pay attention to the properties of toweling, such as water absorption and flexibility, and use the toweling for multipurpose applications such as safe emergency transport equipment by combining toughness, antibacterial properties, and quick drying. Based on the idea of whether or not it can be done, we developed a towel fabric that has toughness, antibacterial properties, and quick-drying properties while having the original properties of towel fabric such as water absorption and flexibility, and a stretcher using the towel fabric. This leads to the proposal of “a towel cloth and a stretcher using the towel cloth” in the invention.

  The specific material in the case where the weft yarn 12 is a chemical fiber is not particularly limited as in the case of the warp yarn 11. For example, a polyolefin resin, a polyester resin, a polyamide resin, a nylon resin, an acrylic resin, and the like are preferable. Polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, diacetate, triacetate, promix and the like can be used, and are appropriately determined according to the final application.

  Further, the specific material when the weft 12 is natural fiber is not particularly limited, and is appropriately determined according to the final use, and for example, cotton, hemp, pulp, or the like is used.

  The base material 10 is configured by weaving the warp yarn 11 and the weft yarn 12 in a mesh shape. At this time, by changing the weaving composition ratio and color of the weft yarn 12, it becomes possible to draw out the characteristics of the chemical fiber in the warp yarn 11 more easily or to easily change the color and pattern of the front surface 14 and the back surface 15. .

  The loop pile yarn 13 is formed of natural fibers. By using natural fibers for the loop pile yarn 13, even if the warp yarn 11 and the weft yarn 12 constituting the base material 10 are chemical fibers, the original functions of toweling such as water absorbency, flexibility, touch and moisture retention. Can be provided as it is.

  The specific material of the natural fiber used for the loop pile yarn 13 is not particularly limited, and is appropriately determined in consideration of water absorption and touch properties. For example, cotton, hemp, pulp, etc. used.

The loop pile yarn 13 forms a pile 18 by being knitted in a loop shape while being raised on at least one of the front surface 14 and the back surface 15 of the base material 10. At this time, the pile 18 is formed at a ratio that occupies approximately 70% of the surface area of one towel cloth 1.
FIG. 1 shows the case where the pile 18 is formed only on the front surface 14, and FIG. 2 shows the case where the pile is formed on both surfaces of the front surface 14 and the back surface 15.

  Similar to the above, the moisture retention can be obtained by raising the amount, thickness and shape of the loop pile yarn 13 made of natural fibers. By using it, it is possible to maintain further moisture retention.

  The antibacterial property is obtained by adding an antibacterial agent to the chemical fiber used for the warp yarn 11 and the weft yarn 12 and facilitates bacterial adhesion prevention and sterilization. The type of antibacterial agent to be added is not limited, but for example, organic silicon quaternary ammonium type antibacterial agent with excellent washing resistance and silver, copper, zinc, etc. are supported on zeolite in consideration of safety. Inorganic antibacterial agents can be considered.

  The toughness and durability are obtained by the tensile strength and the corrosion resistance by the chemical fiber used for the warp yarn 11 and the weft yarn 12. The strength can be appropriately changed depending on the material selected as the chemical fiber, but almost any material can generally cope with the load of daily use.

  The detergency is obtained by the characteristics of the chemical fiber used for the warp yarn 11 and the weft yarn 12. That is, since the chemical fiber has a fine surface density and does not absorb water, it is sufficient to wash off only the liquid (blood, body fluid or chemical solution) adhering to the natural fiber.

  The quick-drying property is obtained by the characteristics of the chemical fiber used for the warp yarn 11 and the weft yarn 12 as described above. In other words, since the chemical fiber has a fine surface density and no water absorption, it is sufficient to dry only natural fibers with water absorption. Compared to conventional towel fabrics that are all made of natural fibers, It is possible to shorten the drying time. This quick drying contributes to the reduction of fuel costs and power costs due to the use of the dryer, and also to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.

  The foaming property can be obtained by abundant air and cleaning agent interaction with the chemical fibers used for the warp yarn 11 and the weft yarn 12.

  By using chemical fibers as the warp yarn 11 and the weft yarn 12, the sterility can suppress the shrinkage, twisting, and twisting of the natural fiber caused by using a chlorinated detergent.

  As for the printability, by forming the pile 18 only on one side of the base material 10, the other side where the pile 18 is not formed becomes a smooth surface, and therefore printing characters and colors can be easily applied thereto. For example, it can be used effectively by, for example, printing the initial medical procedure on the lining of the company name for advertisement and the stretcher for emergency transportation, or printing the contact information of other emergency hospitals and related organizations. be able to.

  The decorativeness can be obtained by changing the color of the weft thread 12. In particular, the use of chemical fibers in the weft thread 12 expands the range of colors that can be selected, so that a variety of colors and patterns can be displayed. It can be used effectively, for example, by displaying a design of a character preferred by a child.

  Medical aptitude is a characteristic derived from each function of the toweling cloth 1 according to the present invention. In other words, it can absorb liquids (blood, body fluids and chemicals) without being scattered or dripping, and can be used in various forms on site due to its flexibility. It eliminates the discomfort of those who come in contact, makes it easy to prevent and disinfect bacteria due to its antibacterial properties, and toughness makes it possible to transport human bodies and heavy objects, such as use as a stretcher. Therefore, it can be said that various aptitudes for use in the medical field are available.

  As described above, since the toweling cloth 1 according to the present invention has flexibility, it is possible to take a compact form by folding or rounding it into a cylindrical shape. In order to prevent this, it can be stored compactly in a medical box or emergency disaster storage in a vacuum-packed state, and the transportation space does not have to be bulky.

  The linen property is a characteristic derived from each function of the toweling cloth 1 according to the present invention. In other words, it can be used repeatedly after washing due to its durability and washability, and it can drastically shorten the drying time due to its quick drying property. Furthermore, it is suitable as a linen supply product because it can save space for storage and transportation in a compact form due to storage and transportability.

  The towel fabric 1 according to the present invention configured as described above uses chemical fibers for the warp yarns 11, uses natural fibers or chemical fibers for the weft yarns 12, and uses natural fibers for the loop pile yarns 13. Water absorption, flexibility, touch, moisture retention, antibacterial properties, toughness, durability, cleanability, quick drying, foaming, sterility, printability, decorative properties, medical suitability, storage properties, transportability It also has linen properties at the same time, has excellent performance not found in conventional toweling, and can be used for a wide variety of purposes.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing an embodiment of the stretcher 20 using the toweling cloth 1 according to the present invention.
The stretcher 20 according to the present invention uses the towel cloth 1 according to the first embodiment, and a plurality of handle holes 21 are formed at predetermined intervals on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the towel cloth 1 formed in a rectangular shape. It has been configured.

  As for the shape of the toweling cloth 1 to be used, it is sufficient if it is rectangular and has a size that can serve as the stretcher 20, and there is no particular limitation on the dimensions. A rectangular towel cloth 1 having a dimension of 1.6 to 2.0 m and a width of 0.8 to 1.0 m is used.

  A plurality of handle holes 21 are formed on both sides of the towel cloth 1 in the longitudinal direction with a predetermined interval. The number of the handle holes 21 formed is not particularly limited, but is formed in at least four corners, preferably several in the middle, in terms of the function as the stretcher 20. The drawing shows a case where six handle holes 21 are formed on one side in the longitudinal direction of the towel cloth 1 and twelve handle holes 21 on both sides.

  The handle hole 21 is formed by opening a hole by cutting into a predetermined shape or making a notch at a location about 30 to 80 mm inside from the longitudinal side of the towel cloth 1. . At this time, it is conceivable to perform zigzag stitching or other reinforcement structure on the opening as necessary. However, since the towel cloth 1 itself has toughness, the reinforcement structure is not necessarily required.

  The dimension of the handle hole 21 is not particularly limited as long as a hand can be inserted so as to function as a handle, but for example, the length dimension is about 100 to 150 mm and the width dimension is about 0 to 50 mm.

  By the way, a mode in which both sides of the towel cloth 1 in the longitudinal direction are folded and fixed by a predetermined width can be considered. The predetermined width here is about 100 to 200 mm. By adopting such an aspect, the thickness of both sides in the longitudinal direction of the towel cloth 1 is increased, and the handle hole 21 is formed at a location where the thickness is increased, so that the handle hole 21 can be used when used as the stretcher 20. It becomes possible to ensure sufficient strength.
