Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a fabric structure, in
particular to the fabric structure formed by using a circular
knitting method to knit two stacked cotton yarns and a cashmere
yarn alternately to produce a surface layer made of cotton and an
inner layer made of cashmere, and the fabric structure provides a
wear-resisting surface layer and a warmth keeping inner layer,
prevents the production of fur balls, and features skin-friendly
smoothness, softness, and comfort.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] In general, conventional sportswear is made of pure cotton
fabric in order to provide a next-to-skin feeling to wearers.
However, sweat cannot be discharged or removed from the pure cotton
fabric easily, and the sweat absorbed by the pure cotton fabric
will stick on the wearers' body.
[0003] To overcome the aforementioned drawback, sweat fabric is
introduced and provided to absorb sweat and dry the fabric quickly,
so that the sweat can be discharged from the wearers' body quickly
to maintain the fabric in a dry cool condition. The sweat fabric
with a good sweat removal effect dissipates the heat produced by
the wearers to the air and absorbs the sweat from the wearers' body
to the fabric and then disperses the sweat onto the fabric, and
finally discharges the sweat from the fabric to the air. In other
words, the sweat fabric has the features of quick sweat removal and
high permeability. With the features of quick heat dissipation, the
warmth keeping effect of the sweat fabric is low, particularly in
cold weather.
[0004] One of the major uses of clothes is to keep the wearers warm
especially in cold weather. For activities performed in a very cold
weather, warmth keeping is a necessary requirement, and people
generally wear several clothes to meet the warmth keeping
requirement. Meanwhile, the heavy clothes make the activities very
inconvenient.
[0005] To overcome the aforementioned drawback of the conventional
fabrics and sweat fabrics, it is necessary to develop a warm
keeping, lightweight and comfortable cloth, so that the inventor of
the present invention based on years of experience in the related
industry to conduct extensive researches and experiments, and
invented a novel fabric structure to overcome the drawbacks of the
prior art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] Therefore, it is a primary objective of the present
invention to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by
providing a fabric structure, comprising: a surface-layer textile
and an inner-layer textile, wherein the surface-layer textile is a
yarn combination formed by stacking two cotton yarns, and the
inner-layer textile is a cashmere yarn and processed by a plurality
of manufacturing procedures such as selecting, washing, carding,
dyeing and twisting the yarns. With a circular knitting method
which is a common conventional method and thus will not be
described in details here, two stacked cotton yarns and a cashmere
yarn are knitted alternately to form a cotton surface layer and a
cashmere inner layer, so that the fabric structure has a
wear-resisting surface layer and a warmth keeping inner layer and
features skin-friendly smoothness, softness, and comfort.
[0007] The so-called cashmere is the fine soft underdown grown at
the hair root of a goat at winter time. As spring and warm weather
comes, the goat cashmere falls down gradually. Compared with wool
and other fibers, cashmere has fine, soft, smooth, light, warm
keeping, naturally lustrous and elastic fibers to compensate the
heavy weight, roughness, poor elasticity, and high shrinkage of the
wool, and thus cashmere is praised as "diamond fiber".
[0008] Unlike wool grown on the body of a sheep, cashmere is grown
on the body of a goat. In general, cashmere refers to the fur of a
goat only. Sheep does not have cashmere, and many people call the
fine hair on a sheep's body which is similar to cashmere as "sheep
cashmere`. In fact, it mixes up the concepts of cashmere and
wool.
[0009] Cashmere has the following features.
[0010] 1. Cashmere is a fine, soft and warm keeping fiber. Cashmere
is the finest animal fibers generally having a coarseness within a
range from 13 um to 15.5 um, and a natural curl, and thus providing
a closely arranged structure for spinning and weaving as well as a
high cohesion, so as to provide an excellent warmth keeping effect
up to 1.5 to 2 times of that of general wool. Cashmere fibers come
with small and smooth scales and an air layer included among the
fibers to provide a light weight and a smooth texture.
[0011] 2. Cashmere has nature and soft color and luster. Cashmere
fibers come with uniform coarseness and small density and a
cross-section usually in a regular circular shape, and the cashmere
fibers have a high moisture absorption property capable of
absorbing dyes efficiently and preventing discoloration
effectively. Compared with other fibers, cashmere has a natural,
soft, pure and beautiful luster.
[0012] 3. Cashmere is flexible and elastic.
[0013] Cashmere fibers have relatively higher curl number, curl
rate, and curl recovery rate and thus are suitable for
manufacturing knitwear with full texture, and good softness and
elasticity to provide natural and comfortable wear and good
recovery feature, particularly providing good shape retention and
preventing shrinkage after the fabric is washed.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0014] FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a fabric structure of the
present invention; and
[0015] FIG. 2 is a partial blow-up view of a fabric structure of
the present invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0016] The technical characteristics of the present invention will
become apparent with the detailed description of preferred
embodiments and the illustration of related drawings as
follows.
[0017] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 for a fabric structure in
accordance with the present invention, the fabric structure (10)
comprises a surface-layer textile (20) and an inner-layer textile
(30), characterized in that the surface-layer textile (20) is a
yarn combination formed by stacking two cotton yarns (21, 22); and
the inner-layer textile (30) is made of a cashmere yarn (31) which
is the best-quality cashmere processed by a plurality of
manufacturing procedures such as selecting, washing, carding,
dyeing and twisting yarns to manufacture a high-end cashmere
product.
[0018] By a circular knitting method, two stacked cotton yarns (21,
22) and the 100% cashmere yarn (31) are knitted alternately to form
the fabric structure with a cotton surface-layer textile and a
cashmere inner-layer textile.
[0019] In another embodiment of the present invention, the
inner-layer textile (30) is a blended textile structure containing
the cashmere yarn (31) added with other yarn materials.
[0020] In the fabric structure of the present invention, the
surface layer is a cotton textile with the advantages of resisting
wears and preventing the production of fur balls, and the inner
layer is a cashmere textile with the advantages of skin-friendly
smoothness, softness, and comfort.
[0021] While the invention has been described by means of specific
embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made
thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the
scope and spirit of the invention set forth in the claims. In
summation of the description above, the present invention achieves
the expected objectives and effects and complies with the patent
application requirements, and thus is duly filed for patent
application.
