Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a woven textile.

Description of the Prior Art

Woven textile is used widely. For example, clothes, shoes, and daily commodities are often made by woven textile. However, how the woven textile is woven, the material, and the design determine the characteristics of the woven textile.

In general way to weave, the maximum size of mesh is limited. To give a larger mesh, some difficult skills such as skipping are used, and the structure strength is reduced.

Besides, the elasticity at two perpendicular directions in a general woven textile usually vary because of the direction of weaving. That is, the elasticity in one direction may be too good to make the woven textile easy to deform.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main object of the present invention is to provide a woven textile whose elasticity is restricted in two directions but having appropriate elasticity.

To achieve the above and other objects, the woven textile of the present invention defines a longitudinal direction and a horizontal direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The woven textile includes at least one first zone, at least one second zone, at least one first binding thread, and at least one second binding thread.

The at least one first zone includes at least one first braid. The at least one first braid is woven by a plurality of filaments and extends in a meandering way. The at least one second zone includes at least one second braid. The at least one second braid is woven by a plurality of filaments and extends in a meandering way. The at least one first zone and the at least one second zone are aligned along the longitudinal direction. The at least one first binding thread extends along the horizontal direction and is woven with the at least one first braid. The at least one second binding thread extends along the horizontal direction and is woven with the at least one second braid.

The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment(s) in accordance with the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the woven textile of the present invention defines a longitudinal direction and a horizontal direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The woven textile includes at least one first zone, at least one second zone, at least one first binding thread 30, at least one second binding thread 40, and at least one third braid 50.

The at least one first zone includes at least one first braid 10. The at least one first braid 10 is woven by a plurality of filaments and extends in a meandering way. The at least one second zone includes at least one second braid 20. The at least one second braid 20 is woven by a plurality of filaments and extends in a meandering way. The at least one first zone and the at least one second zone are aligned along the longitudinal direction. The at least one first binding thread 30 extends along the horizontal direction and is woven with the at least one first braid 10. The at least one second binding thread 40 extends along the horizontal direction and is woven with the at least one second braid 40. The at least one third braid 50 is woven with the at least one first binding thread 30 and then jumps to the at least one second binding thread 40 to be woven with the at least one second binding thread 40.

In the present embodiment, the woven textile of the present invention includes a plurality of the first zones, a plurality of the second zones, a plurality of the first binding threads 30, and a plurality of the second binding threads 40. The first zones and the second zones are aligned in turn along the longitudinal direction. Any adjacent first zone and second zone overlap partially. Specifically, each of the first binding threads 30 or each of the second binding threads 40 is woven with the overlap portions of any adjacent first zone and second zone.

In the present embodiment, the first binding threads 30 are a single thread to extend back and forth, and the second binding threads 40 are also a single thread to extend back and forth. Each of the first braids 10 has a plurality of first crests 11 and a plurality of first troughs 12 arranged in turn. Each of the second braids 20 has a plurality of second crests 21 and a plurality of second troughs 22 arranged in turn. The first crests 11 and the second crests 21 positionally correspond to each other. The first troughs 12 and the second troughs 22 positionally correspond to each other. Each of the first crests 11 of each of the first braid 10 partially overlaps one of the second troughs 22 of an adjacent second braid 20. Each of the first troughs 12 of each of the first braid 10 partially overlaps one of the second crests 21 of an adjacent second braid 20. The at least one third braid 50 is woven with the first crests 11 and the first binding thread 30 and then jumps to an adjacent second binding thread 40 to be woven with the second binding thread 40 for a distance followed by jumping back to the first binding thread 30 to be woven with the following first crests 11 and the first binding thread 30. The at least one third braid 50 extends in such a way to be teeth-shaped. However, the first braid 10 and the second braid 20 can be exchanged.

In other possible embodiments, each of the first braids 10 has a plurality of first crests 11 and a plurality of first troughs 12 arranged in turn. Each of the second braids 20 has a plurality of second crests 21 and a plurality of second troughs 22 arranged in turn. The first crests 11 and the second crests 21 positionally correspond to each other. The first troughs 12 and the second troughs 22 positionally correspond to each other. Each of the first crests 11 of each of the first braid 10 partially overlaps one of the second troughs 22 of an adjacent second braid 20. Each of the first troughs 12 of each of the first braid 10 partially overlaps one of the second crests 21 of an adjacent second braid 20. The at least one third braid 50 is woven with the first crests 11 and the first binding thread 30 and then jumps to an adjacent second binding thread 40 to be woven with the second crests 21 and the second binding thread 40 followed by jumping to an other first binding thread 30 to be woven with the first crests 11 and the first binding thread 30. The at least one third braid 50 extends in such a way to be step-shaped.

Specifically, each of the first braids, the second braids, and the third braid can include an outer layer and a core. The outer layer is woven by a plurality of filaments to be tube-shaped. The core is inserted through the outer layer. Besides, each of the first braids, the second braids, and the third braid is woven by braiding.

Thereby, the first binding thread and the second binding thread can restrict the horizontal elasticity of the first zone and the second zone, and the third braid can restrict the longitudinal elasticity of the woven textile. Thus, the elasticity of the woven textile is restricted in two different directions. Specifically, the first binding thread and the second binding thread restrict the elasticity more, and the jumping third braid restricts the elasticity less. Because the horizontal elasticity is larger than the longitudinal elasticity of the first zone and the second zone originally, the elasticity is balanced by the first binding thread, the second binding thread, and the third braid. Thus, the woven textile can be prevented from deforming caused by stretching.
