Patent number: 7074245Abstract: A modified regenerated cellulose fiber which enables dyeing in different colors by combining the modified regenerated cellulose fiber and other fibers by means of mixed spinning or union knitting/weaving. The modified regenerated cellulose fiber can be obtained by adding 0.5–3.0% by weight of a grounder of naphthol dye to the regenerated cellulose fiber in a matrix of the regenerated cellulose fiber, the grounder being selected from the group having a medium to high level of affinity to the regenerated cellulose fiber. A variety of dyed fiber products can be obtained by treating yarn or knitted/woven fabric made of the above modified regenerated cellulose fiber with a developer of naphthol dye.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2004Date of Patent: July 11, 2006Assignee: Fuji Spinning Co., Ltd.Inventors: Itsuo Kurahashi, Masatoshi Kudou, Hiroaki Tanibe, Koji Ando

Patent number: 6709665Abstract: The present invention aims at providing a functionalized fiber material having a skin care effect enabling to sustainedly discharge a skin care component by an action of a fat and oil component such as sebum present on a skin surface of the human body, without losing a feeling or moisture absorbing and releasing properties which are possessed by a fiber. The functionalized fiber material is obtained by treating a fiber material comprising natural fiber, regenerated fiber, synthetic fiber and mixed fibers thereof with a treatment liquid in which &agr;-tocopherol acetate is emulsified in water with a surfactant, and &agr;-tocopherol acetate is stuck in an amount of 0.3 to 45.0 mg. A concentration of &agr;-tocopherol acetate in the emulsified liquid for the fiber treatment is preferably 0.5 to 100.0 g/l.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2002Date of Patent: March 23, 2004Assignee: Fuji Spinning Co., Ltd.Inventors: Koki Itoyama, Takatoshi Fujii, Hiroaki Tanibe

Patent number: 5508185Abstract: An enzyme immobilizing carrier is produced by dissolving low-molecular weight chitosan in an aqueous acid solution and dropping the solution into a basic solution to produce regenerated porous chitosan in particles, reacting the regenerated porous chitosan in particles with the glycidyl ether of an aliphatic polyalcohol, and reacting further the resulting chitosan with the acid halide or acid anhydride of a higher fatty acid in a polar organic solvent. An enzyme and a polyfunctional cross-linking agent are reacted with the carrier to covalently immobilize the enzyme on the carrier. In a preferred embodiment, the enzyme is lipase and the carrier is produced by introducing the glycidyl ether of an aliphatic polyalcohol at 0.01 to 0.4 mole to 1 mole of the pyranose ring residue of the chitosan and by introducing a higher fatty acid having a total carbon number of 6 to 20 at 0.05 to 1 mole to 1 mole of the pyranose ring residue of the chitosan.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 1994Date of Patent: April 16, 1996Assignee: Fuji Spinning Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihide Kawamura, Hiroaki Tanibe, Shigeyuki Imamura, Junko Harada
