Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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”.

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.

Cashmere has the following features.

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.

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.

3. Cashmere is flexible and elastic.

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.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
