Abstract

A woven textile defines a horizontal direction and a longitudinal direction. The woven textile includes a first section, a second section, and a third thread. The first section includes at least one first thread. The first thread extends wavily. The second section includes at least one second thread. The second thread extends wavily. The first section and the second section are aligned along the longitudinal direction and partially overlap to form an overlap section. The third thread extends along the horizontal direction and binds with the first thread and the second thread inside the overlap section. Each of the first thread and the second thread is a filament integrally formed of TPU.

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.

On the other hand, the filament of conventional woven textile has a large resilience along the radial direction, so the filament deforms heavily at the knotting portion or the overlap portion so that the woven textile has a flat appearance. Thus, the conventional woven textile has a bad permeability and cushion.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main object of the present invention is to provide woven textile having a better tolerance of extension. In addition, the filament is not easy to deform radially, and a larger thickness can be achieved.

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

The at least one first section includes at least one first thread. The at least one first thread extends wavily. The at least one second section includes at least one second thread. The at least one second thread extends wavily. The at least one first section and the at least one second section are aligned along the longitudinal direction and partially overlap to form an overlap section. The at least one third thread extends along the horizontal direction and binds with the at least one first thread and the at least one second thread inside the overlap section. Each of the at least one first thread and the at least second thread is a filament integrally formed of TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethanes).

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 horizontal direction and a longitudinal direction. The woven textile includes at least one first section, at least one second section, and at least one third thread 30.

The at least one first section includes at least one first thread 10. The at least one first thread 10 extends wavily. The at least one second section includes at least one second thread 20. The at least one second thread 20 extends wavily. The at least one first section and the at least one second section are aligned along the longitudinal direction and partially overlap to form an overlap section. The at least one third thread 30 extends along the horizontal direction and binds with the at least one first thread 10 and the at least one second thread 20 inside the overlap section. The at least one third thread 30 is made of artificial sinew or TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethanes). Each of the at least one first thread 10 and the at least second thread 20 is a filament integrally formed of TPU.

In the present embodiment, the woven textile includes a plurality of said first sections, a plurality of said second sections, and a plurality of said third threads 30. The first sections and the second sections are arranged alternately along the longitudinal direction. Adjacent said first sections and said second sections partially overlap. Specifically, each of the first threads 10 has a plurality of first crest portions 11 and a plurality of first trough portions 12 alternately arranged. Each of the second threads 20 has a plurality of second crest portions 21 and a plurality of second trough portions 22 alternately arranged. The first crest portions 11 positionally correspond to the second crest portions 21. The first trough portions 12 positionally correspond to the second trough portions 22. The first crest portions 11 of each of the first threads 10 partially overlaps the second trough portions 22 of adjacent said second thread 20. The first trough portions 12 of each of the first threads 10 partially overlaps the second crest portions 21 of adjacent said second thread 20. Preferably, the first crest portions 11 and the second crest portions 21 are arranged along the longitudinal direction. The first trough portions 12 and the second trough portions 22 are arranged along the longitudinal direction. Two ends of each of the first crest portions 11 along the horizontal direction are located under and above the second trough portions 22 of adjacent two second threads 20 respectively. Two ends of each of the second crest portions 21 along the horizontal direction are located under and above the first trough portions 12 of adjacent two first threads 10 respectively. That is to say, each of the first crest portions 11 or each of the second crest portions 21 (or each of the first trough portions 12 or each of the second trough portions 22) is sandwiched by adjacent second thread 20 or first thread 10 obliquely. Besides, a thickness direction is defined perpendicular to both the horizontal direction and the longitudinal direction. The woven textile has a maximum thickness at the overlap section. The maximum thickness is larger than twice a diameter of each of the first threads 10 and also larger than twice a diameter of each of the second threads 20. Specifically, the maximum thickness is defined as a maximum distance between two ends of the first crest portion 11 (or the first trough portion 12, or the second crest portion 21, or the second trough portion 22) along the thickness direction. On the other hand, a diameter of each of the third threads 30 is smaller than one fifth a diameter of each of the first threads 10 and the second threads 20.

Because the first thread 10 and the second thread 20 extend wavily and are filaments integrally formed of TPU, the woven textile has a better tolerance of extension and resilience. The third thread 30 provides a restriction of extension along the horizontal direction so that the first thread 10 and the second thread 20 are prevented from deforming Besides, the TPU filament has a smaller deformation along the radial direction (as shown in FIG. 2A), so the filament may not shrink when knotting to make the woven textile flat. On the contrary, the overlapped TPU filaments provide a larger thickness to have a three-dimensional structure. Thus, the woven textile is advantageous in permeability, cushion, structure strength, and resistance of abrasion to be used in variable fields.
