FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThis Invention involves a kind of textile yarn and its production technique, especially a kind of yarn made of fiber from animal pelage and its production technique.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONAnimal in the Earth is of all shapes and colors, which provides rich resource of animal pelage. Animal pelage consists mainly of collagen fiber, which is twisted in bundle form each other, and each bundle of collagen fiber consists of a lot of tiny collagen fiber. Animal skin consists of cuticular layer, dermis layer and subcutaneous tissue. Dermis layer accounts for 90% or more of the skin, and consists of papillary layer and reticular layer. Collagen fiber in papillary layer is twisted openly, while collagen fiber in reticular layer is twisted tightly. Collagen fiber accounts for more than 95% of whole dermatome fiber and is intersected across in a crisscross fashion and forms a three-dimensional net structure. This is the principal part of dermis layer. There is small amount of reticular fiber, elastic fiber and keratin fiber (reticular fiber wraps around bundle of collagen fiber to form net for keeping the collagen fiber in it with elastic fiber and keratin fiber between them). Besides, there is lipoprotein (various kinds of proteins) between fibers, fat and various line bodies in gel form filling space between fibers.
Utilization of human is mainly to process original pelage of animal to leather, which is used to make garment, shoes, hats, furniture, bags, decoration of automobiles and etc. This use of leather requires high quality for original pelage of animal. It requires certain dimension and uniform thickness of the leather. Every defect of the leather, such as burning marks, wrinkle, cut, sting, scratch and etc., would make products defective or rejected. Final utilization factor of original pelage of animal from pelage to leather and then to finished products is only 20˜40%, most of animal pelage becomes oddments or leftover bits and pieces.
There is a process abroad that grinds leftover bits and pieces and/or worn-out leather to powder, mixes it with other materials in powder form and makes the mixture regenerative leather. Products from this process are of low grade, poor quality, less application. This process would make serious waste of resource of natural animal pelage.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONOne of the aims of this Invention is to provide a kind of animal leather yarn to solve the problem of low utilization rate of remnant leather and leftover bits and pieces as well as reclamation and recycling. The process is to open mechanically collagen fiber of animal pelage in bundle form to leather fiber in single thread form, and further to use this leather fiber for spinning.
Another aim of this Invention is to provide a process to produce abovementioned yarn of leather fiber.
The former aim is realized as follows: A kind of leather yarn is made of 1˜100% WT of leather fiber, being mechanically opened from leather, and 0˜99% WT of textile fiber. Leather fiber and textile fiber are disposed longitudinally, interlaced with each other and twisted together to form leather yarn.
Leather fiber in this Invention is made from pelage or leather of cattle, horses, mules, donkeys, camels, deer, goats, pigs, dogs, wolfs, rabbits, rats, kangaroos, crocodiles, fish, snakes and other animals. Length of leather fiber is 10˜45 mm, fineness is 0.3 D˜2.5 D.
Textile fiber in this Invention may be either long staple, or cut fiber, and either natural textile fibers such as cotton, hemp, silk, cashmere, wool, camel hair, rabbit hair, dog hair, down feather and etc. as well as chemical fibers such as terylen, acrylic fiber, urethane elastic fiber, polyamide fiber and polypropylene, or fibers processed or extracted artificially, such as direct viscose, soy, milk, bamboo, testa fat and etc.
The latter aim of this Invention is realized as follows: A method of making yarn of leather fiber contains following process: tanning animal pelage with conventional tanning process, then sorting, swelling, opening fiber, degumming, decoloring, edulcorating, grading, blending, clearing, carding, drawing, and spinning.

(1) Yarn of leather fiber can be used to tat, knit and weave various textiles and face fabric of top, medium and low grades, and expands scope of application of animal pelage.
(2) Yarn of leather fiber has high tensile strength, good elasticity. Various textiles and face fabric of top, medium and low grades, tatted, knitted and weaved with this yarn, have stronger elasticity, resistance to wear, thermo-insulating property, fire resistance property, acoustic absorbability and water absorbability.
(3) It has plenty of raw materials with low cost. Final utilization factor of original pelage of animal is only 20˜40%, remaining 60˜80% is oddments, which is of low cost. Resource of leftover bits and pieces is also very rich and its price is lower, in addition, there is a lot of worn-out leather for reclamation and utilization in public.
(4) This Invention provides feasible method of production of leather yarn made of animal pelage or cheap leftover bits and pieces and worn-out leather. It makes natural resource used more sufficiently and reasonably.
This Invention will be explained further in conjunction with these drawings and embodiments.
As shown in
As leather fiber has very strong amplexation and has tiny gap between fibers, its fiber may be disposed longitudinally and intertwine by itself. Textile fiber has also gap between fibers and amplexation, its fiber may also be disposed longitudinally. Leather fiber and textile fiber may be intertwined together uniformly.
Leather fiber 1 is made from pelage or leather of at least one animal such as cattle, horses, mules, donkeys, camels, deer, goats, pigs, dogs, wolfs, rabbits, rats, kangaroos, crocodiles, fish, snakes and other animals. Tanning process of this animal pelage is the same as conventional tanning process, i.e. screen selecting of raw material, liming, washing, deliming, tanning and softening, dehydrating and etc. (This process is not required for worn-out leather, leftover bits and pieces and reclaimed leather). After tanning, following process is necessary to carried out: sorting, swelling, opening fiber, degumming, decoloring, edulcorating, grading, blending, clearing, carding, drawing, and spinning. Textile fiber 2 may be natural textile fiber such as cotton, hemp, silk, cashmere, wool, camel hair, rabbit hair, dog hair, down feather and etc. as well as chemical fiber such as terylen, acrylic fiber, urethane elastic fiber, polyamide fiber and polypropylene, or fibers processed or extracted artificially, such as direct viscose, soy, milk, bamboo, testa fat and etc.
