Abstract: Provided is an elastic circular-knitted fabric that can be used for clothing such as underclothes, sportswear, or casual wear, and that is stretchable and has a pleasant feel. This elastic circular-knitted fabric contains knitted loops (c1) composed of non-elastic fibers, and knitted loops (c2) composed of non-elastic fibers and elastic fibers. The knitted loops (c2) composed of the non-elastic fibers and elastic fibers exist in the elastic circular-knitted fabric at a ratio of one course for every two courses. In a slope of the elongation stress curve in the warp direction and weft direction of the elastic circular-knitted fabric, a ratio (a2/a1) of a slope (a1) at 0-40% elongation to a slope (a2) at 40-80% elongation is no more than 1.0 in the respective directions, and the standard deviation of unevenness between the loops on the rear surface of the elastic circular-knitted fabric is 0.5 or below.

Abstract: Provided is a compression stocking that is excellent in removability due to stretching characteristics of an ankle portion and low friction resistance of a skin surface, and is capable of alleviating swelling and fatigue of lower limbs caused during standing at work or day-to-day living. The compression stocking according to the present invention covers at least an ankle portion, a calf lower portion, a calf portion, and in some cases a femur, wherein the stress obtained when the calf portion is stretched to a worn state in a radial direction is 1 to 7 N, the stress obtained when the ankle portion is stretched in the radial direction until passing a heel is 1 to 7 N, and an initial load obtained when the ankle portion is stretched to an elongation rate of 10% in the radial direction is 1 N or less.

Abstract: Provided is a multilayer-structure circular knit fabric that has excellent cool touch sensation and moisture absorbability, has improved moisture dispersibility, is quick drying to avoid the feeling of dampness, is very comfortable with high cool touch sensation, can reduce stickiness and a cold feeling after sweating by causing the sweat to dry quickly, and has a pleasant texture. The multilayer-structure circular knit fabric is formed of a single circular knit having a layer structure with two or more layers, and has a section where a cellulose-based continuous fiber and a hydrophobic fiber form the same knit loop.

Abstract: An elastic warp knitted fabric which exhibits excellent extensibility and extension recovery characteristics and gives good wearing feeling, has excellent motion followability, can contribute to improvement in movement function, further has no limitation in applications due to extension force thereof, and can be used as the material of a garment less likely to lose the shape due to wearing. The elastic warp knitted fabric of the present invention is the elastic warp knitted fabric knitted at least two guide bars, and is characterized in that the elastic fibers are arranged on at least one guide bar and inelastic fibers are arranged on the other guide bar, respectively, both an extension force in the warp direction and that in the weft direction are 100 cN to 600 cN, in extension by 80% of the said knitted fabric, that the ratio of the extension force in the warp direction to that in the weft direction is 0.8 to 1.8.

Abstract: The knitted fabric of the present invention is knitted fabric which is not stuffy and is comfortable during insensible perspiration or slight perspiration, which even after considerable perspiration due to exercise etc. does not make the wearer feel sticky, wet, or cold because of the sweat, and which has a satisfactory texture and excellent wear resistance. The knitted fabric comprises 5-25 wt. % cellulosic filaments and 75-95 wt. % synthetic fibers, and is characterized in that in at least one surface A thereof, the proportion of the area occupied by the cellulosic filaments to the overall area of the knitted fabric in the region of the knitted fabric which ranges to a depth of 0.13 mm is 0.2-15% and that surface A to which moisture was imparted in an amount of 200 g/m2 has a degree of coldness to the touch of 180-330 W/m2·° C.

Abstract: There is disclosed an elastic warp knitted fabric which exhibits excellent extensibility and extension recovery characteristics that said elastic warp knitted fabric gives good wearing feeling, has excellent motion followability, can contribute to improvement in movement function, further has no limitation in applications due to extension force thereof, and can be used as the material of a garment less likely to lose the shape due to wearing. The elastic warp knitted fabric of the present invention is the elastic warp knitted fabric knitted at least two reeds, and is characterized in that the elastic fibers are arranged on at least one reed and inelastic fibers are arranged on the other reed, respectively, both an extension force in the warp direction and that in the weft direction are 100 cN to 600 cN, in extension by 80% of the said knitted fabric, that the ratio of the extension force in the warp direction to that in the weft direction is 0.8 to 1.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fabric which makes the wearer feel comfortable when the wearer is not in a sweating state and does not give a sticky feeling or a steamy feeling to the wearer even when the wearer perspires. The present invention can be achieved by a cellulose fiber-blended fabric, characterized by comprising cellulose fibers having a rate of dimensional change upon water absorption of 2% or more. When the fabric of the present invention is applied to sportswear, inner wear, outer wear, and the like, the wearer can obtain a comfortable wear feeling.

Abstract: Disclosed are a label and a method of manufacturing labels that are capable of preventing the hand from being heated when the label is used for such as a hot drink, while making a bottle body with the label applied thereto hard to slip off from the hand when the bottle body is picked up, as well as providing a design having a perspective and three dimensional effect. A label of the present invention is made of foam sheet having a foam layer, in which an outer side of the label has linear depressions formed by pressing the foam sheet so as to have partially thinned portions and hence provide an uneven surface portion.
