Definitions

  • Elastic fa-brics for example webbings
  • Elastic fa-brics are normally prepared by weaving elastic threads, for example cut rubber, extruded latex rubber, polyurethane elastomers and the like with a filling thread of textile fibers. It is also common practice in elastic fabrics to wrap the elastic cores with textile threads, either by helical winding, braiding or the like, in order to control the physical characteristics. Since webbing is used frequently in articles such as girdles, support bandages, elastic inserts in garments such as shorts and the like, it is practically standard to use covered elastic threads.
  • the -first problem is a shrinkshare the common characteristic of cellulosic yarns of shrinking when washed and dried.
  • the elastic core which is wrapped or covered of course does not shrink and therefore it is desirable to have as little shrinkage as possible in the textile thread. It is true that the thread is wrapped or braided as a covering and so there is a certain amount of elasticity -but this is considerably less than the elastic core itself. Shrinkage is therefore undesirable but a very considerable amount of shrirkage, just under is unavoidable with standard cotton wrapping yarns. This has been accepted as an unavoidable evil in the art but is not wanted.
  • the second problem is presented by the elastic Webbing or fabric itself It is common to have a filling yarn of cotton or rayon and this presents a problem of abrasion at the edges of the fabric where the filling threads are sharply bent and come in contact with the body or other surfaces which can cause abrasion. This is a serious problem because -if the edges start to abrade there Will be frayed filling threads which are both unacceptable from the standpoint of appearance and which also do not feel as comfortable to the wearer of the elastic fabric. Also when a filling thread is cut or rather abraded through it tends to run and in general when the edges have become seriously abraded web-bing is no longer useful even though its elastic threads may still have many months of useful life in them. The above two problems have been very serious ones in the elastic fabric art and it is with a solution or rather an enormous improvement that the present invention deals.
  • a -spun blend of polypropylene and rayon is used instead of using cotton or pure spun rayon for wrapping yarns and for filling threads.
  • the ranges of practical usefulness are definite but they are quite wide, substantial improvement being obtained With as little as 10% polypropylene and reaching a maximum near 40% which does not greatly change With still more polypropylene.
  • Another factor of course is that the polypropylene is in general more expensive than the rayon and so it is economically preferable to use as small a percentage as will give satisfactory results.
  • the invention is of course not limited to spun rayon as the cellulosic constituent of the blend, cotton may also be used but since spun rayon produces a very excellent hand and at present is no more expensive than cotton it is preferred in the present invention.
  • the nature of the elastic core itself does not appear to have any part in the improvements of the present invention.
  • the same mprovernents are obtained when the basic elastic core is rubber, either cut or extruded, polyurethane and the like. Accordingly the invention will be described in conjunction with specific examples in which rubber cores are used. This is illustrative only and in no sense limits the use of the invention to -fabrics prepared with rubber cores. In the specific examples, the percentages are by weight.
  • the invention is .also illustrated in conjunction with the drawing which shows a typical fabric in diagrammatic form.
  • Example 1- An elastic webbing is prepared using warp threads (l) of rubber having a core of approximately 1400 yds. per lb. covered with a double spiral wrapping (2) of textile thread -spun from a blend of polypropylene and 87.5 rayon fibers. A filling yarn (3) of approximate ly 8400 yds. per lb. of the same blend is used. There were 60 filling threads per inch.. v
  • a second webbing was then .prepared in which the wrapping and filling yarns Were 100% cotton of the same yarn size. This webbing will be referred to in this and subsequent examples as the cotton control fabric.
  • Example 2 The procedure of Example 1 was repeated except that the polypropylene-rayon blend was 25% polypropylene and 75% rayon. Shrinkage after laundering was 7.5 that is to say the shrinkage was slightly over one-half of the control webbing.
  • Example 3 The procedure of Example 1 was repeated but the polypropylene-rayon blend was 375% polypropylene and 625% rayon. The shrinkage was 55%, that is to say the shrinkage was about 38 percent that of the control webbing.
  • Example 4 The procedure of Example 1 was repeated using a polypropylene-rayon blend of equal amounts. The shrinkage was 55%, that is to say the shrinkage was about 38 percent that of the control webbing.
  • Example 3 and control cotton webbing With 100% cotton filling yarns were tested for edge abrasion by the Accelerotor described in the AATCC Technical Manual test method 93-1959. This is an enormously accelerated test which in a few minutes simulates abrasion of many months or even years of normal use.
  • the initial abrasion was approximately the same for the polypropylene-rayon blend and the cotton control fabric, namely 3 to 4 minutes. A range is given because the test is ordinarily carried out several times and an average taken or the range noted.
  • the webbings were then subjected to ten launderings, that is to say ten automatic washings with hypochlorite bleach and ten tumble dryings. Washings and dryings were carried out in the ordinary test form of AATCC and were absolutely uniform for the two fabrics. After the tenth laundering and drying .the abrasion tests were repeated. Surprisingly the webbing of Example 3 showed an increased abrasion resistance of from 5.5 to 7 minutes. The cotton control fabric retaned its initial 3 to 3 /2 minutes abrasion time. In other words, after laundering the polypropylene blend had increased its abrasion resistance practically 100%, i.e. the webbing of the present invention has shown wear twice as long as;
  • An elastic fabric of covered elastic warp threads having elastic cores and textile filling threads comprising a cover of threads of a blend of from 10 to percent staple polypropylene with the balance staple cellulosic fiber, whereby said fabric has a shrnkage in the warp direction on laundering rcduced to not more than about two-thirds that of fabrics having elastic warp threads covered with cotton.
