Abstract: The present invention provides a balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) which is used for knitting a protective textile with minimum or no curling effect in the knitted textiles or fabric. The balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) comprises a roving (100), a core (200) having a reinforcement material, and a core yarn (300). The core yarn (300) along with the roving (100) and the core (200) is twisted in one direction and the core spinning is performed in such a way that the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) is obtained being twisted in an opposite direction as that of the core yarn (300) along with the roving (100) and the core (200). A process of preparing the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) is also provided.
[0001]The present invention generally relates to the field of yarns and safety apparels knitted of such yarns. More particularly, the present invention relates to a balanced ring spun core yarn which exhibits minimum curling and snarling during knitting of protective textiles.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
[0002] Protective textile is the fastest growing area of textile consumption in the world. These protective textiles draw immense attention where human has exposure to extreme environmental conditions and it becomes important to produce textile materials and clothing for use in the protection of humans from such harsh environments. The protective textiles serve as invaluable asset for the people involved in various hazardous industrial works. Such protective textiles protect users against numerous thermal and mechanical hazards such as heat or flame or fire, cut and abrasion, or cutting injuries of all kinds while working with sharp-edged objects. The apparel industry has a constant demand for better and newer varieties of fabrics to cater to evolving needs of consumers. One of the needs of the apparel industry is a demand for stretchable fabrics with a wearable feel.
[0003] Various materials, fibers and yarns have been employed for producing such protective textiles, for instance aramid, polyamide, glass, wool, cotton, or the like. A yarn is a long continuous length of interlocked fibers suitable for use in production of the protective textiles. The two basic classifications of the yarn include staple fiber yarn, which uses mostly short natural fibers to make yarn; and filament yarn, which is made from one or more long continuous filaments. A spun yarn is made by twisting staple fibers together to make a cohesive thread and consists of a single type of fiber, or can be a blend of various types. Rovings are produced during the process of making spun yarn from wool fleece, raw cotton, or other fibres. Rovings are the unspun strands of fibers substantially parallel, with slight twist. The single end roving consists of filaments (continuous) while the multi-end roving consists of staple fibers (limited length). Further, a core/sheath yarn, also known as core yarn in general comprises two components- a core and a sheath wherein the core is made up of continuous filament yarn while the sheath is made of staple fibers. The protective textiles incorporating core yarn are used to enhance functional properties of the fabrics such as strength, durability and stretch comfort.
[0004] Spirality is a defect which occurs in circular plain knitted fabrics. Circular knitting is a form of knitting that creates a seamless tube. In a fabric knitted in a plain stitch, lengthwise rows of stitches, called needle lines or whales, should occupy a truly vertical line in the fabric and should always be at right angles to crosswise courses of stitches. Whereas, the knitted fabrics in wool or cotton show an evident bias towards the left or the right, which appears in form of a twilled surface, generally known as ‘curling’ or ‘spirality’, since it occurs mainly in circular fabric. The yarn made with less or minimum curling effect is known as balanced yarn, one which has no tendency to twist upon itself. Machineries like autoclaves are designed for strengthening the yarns, and to remove curling or snarling, thus, stabilizing the yarn for better efficiency in winding/weaving of yarn. Further, other machineries like doublers, ply-twisters or two-for-one (TFO) twisters are used for twisting two or more single yarns, a process known as doubling or folding or ply twisting. This process also helps in strengthening the yarns.
[0005] Conventionally, the techniques of spinning core/sheath yarn having finer deniers of glass filaments such as 50 denier or 100 denier of with 5.5 or 7 micron diameter in the core, require another set of machines such as autoclave or doubler/TFO to make the yarn balanced or to achieve minimum spirality enabling them to be used for knitting without any curling effect in the knitted fabrics.
[0006] US4470251A discloses core yarn spinning technique where steel wire or any other filaments used in the core and staple fibres such as (synthetic or natural fibres) used as the sheath wound on the core during ring spinning process.
[0007] US4896406A discloses a top bedsheet, bottom (fitted contour) bedsheet, or pillow case is produced by circularly knitting, in a jersey knit configuration, a sheath and core yarn into a fabric. In particular, core/sheath yarn spinning technique is disclosed in which a sliver of sheath fibres and a roving of core fibres are passed through a trumpet, and then through rear rolls of speed frame which is further passed through ring frames to produce core/sheath ring spun yarns.
[0008] WO2001098568A2, relates a core/sheath spinning to manufacture comfortable cut-abrasion resistant fiber composition.
[0009] US4777789A discloses an improved yarn, fabric and protective garment made from such yarn where the yarn, fabric and garment exhibit cut resistance. In particular, core/sheath yarns are disclosed wherein at least one layer of sheath includes wrapping/twisting with wire.
[0010] There are a number of problems associated with the conventional yarns and the methods thereof. These conventional yarns and methods require additional machineries such as autoclave or doubler/TFO (two-for-one) twisters to make the yarn balanced or to achieve minimum spirality. However, the protective textiles from such type of yarns have a limited wear life, and are heavier in weight. Also, chemical treatment adds to the weight of the protective textile. Further, these textiles made of conventional yarns do not provide comfort features and are expensive to produce due to additional machineries, man power and additional time thereby increasing the cost of manufacturing.
[0011] In view of the above limitations of the conventional approaches, yarns and methods thereof, there exists a need to develop an improved approach, yarn and method thereof which would in turn address a variety of issues including, but not limited to, finer ring spun yarn with core-sheath effect and which could be used for knitting with minimum or no curling or twisting in the knitted fabrics without using any additional machineries such as autoclaves or doubler/ TFO. Moreover, it is desired to develop a balanced ring spun core yarn and a process of preparing the same, wherein the balanced ring spun core yarn is thereby employed to obtain a lightweight, flexible and wearable stab/ballistic resistant, and electric arc flash fire resistant protective textile.
[0012] Thus, the above-described deficiencies of conventional approaches, yarns and methods thereof, are merely intended to provide an overview of some of the problems of conventional approaches and are not intended to be exhaustive. Other problems with conventional approaches, yarns and methods and their corresponding benefits of the various non-limiting embodiments described herein may become further apparent upon review of the following description.

[0027] The exemplary embodiments described herein detail for illustrative purposes are subject to many variations in the structure and design. It should be emphasized, however, that the present invention is not limited to a particular balanced ring spun core yarn as shown and described herein. It is understood that various omissions and substitutions of equivalents are contemplated as circumstances may suggest or render expedient, but these are intended to cover the application or implementation without departing from the spirit or scope of the claims of the present invention. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
[0028] The use of terms “including,” “comprising,” or “having” and variations thereof herein are meant to encompass the items listed thereafter and equivalents thereof as well as additional items.
[0029] Further, the terms, “an” and “a” herein do not denote a limitation of quantity, but rather denote the presence of at least one of the referenced item.
[0030] Referring to Figure 1, the invention will now be described in more detail. A balanced ring spun core yarn (1000), as shown in Figure 1, comprises a roving (100), a core (200), and a core yarn (300). The balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) is ring spun from three separate components or blending various fibers during spinning, namely, the roving, core, and the core yarn. Further, the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) is used for knitting protective textiles or fabrics with minimum or no curling effect in the knitted textiles or fabrics.
[0031] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the roving (100) is made up of high performance fibers selected from, but not limited to, a group consisting of high performance polyethylene fibers, aramid fibers, polyamide fibers, or polyimide fibers. Further, the roving (100) may also be made up of cotton or cellulosic fibers. Rovings (100) are unspun strands of fibers substantially parallel, with slight twist. Further, single end roving consists of filaments (continuous) while the multi-end roving consists of staple fibers of limited length. Moreover, the single-end rovings are produced by pulling individual fibers directly from the bushing and winding them onto a roving package.
[0032] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the core (200) is made up of a reinforcement material. The core (200) is the innermost part of the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000). The core (200) is made up of a reinforcement material selected from, but not limited to, a group consisting of e-glass, basalt, stainless steel, or tungsten.
[0033] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the core yarn (300) is selected from, but not limited to, a group consisting of filamentous yarn, composite yarn, spun yarn, or combination yarn. The core yarn is a two-component structure with a core and a sheath. In the core yarn a continuous filament is used as the core and the staple fibres used as sheath covering. Further, the core of the core yarn (300) is made up of a material selected from, but not limited to, a group consisting of e-glass, basalt, stainless steel, or tungsten. Furthermore, the sheath of the core yarn (300) is made up of a material selected from, but not limited to, a group consisting of p-aramid fibers, polyamide fibers, or polyimide fibers. In particular, the core yarn (300) is made up of p-aramid fibers with tungsten in the core, or polyamide fibers with tungsten in the core. Also, the core yarn (300) is obtained by spinning using staple fibers of, but not limited to, 38 mm, 51 mm, 65 mm, or 110 mm.
[0034] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the core yarn (300) along with the roving (100) and the core (200) are twisted in one direction. Further, core spinning is performed in such a way that the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) is obtained which is twisted in an opposite direction as that of the core yarn (300) along with the roving (100) and the core (200). In particular, if the core yarn (300) along with the roving (100) and the core (200) is twisted in ‘S’ direction then the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) thereby obtained is twisted in ‘Z’ direction. If the core yarn (300) along with the roving (100) and the core (200) is twisted in ‘Z’ direction then the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) thereby obtained is twisted in ‘S’ direction.
[0035] In other words, the core yarn (300) is twisted in opposite direction as that of the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) or vice-versa. Further, if the core yarn (300) which is used along with the roving (100) and the core (200) is twisted in ‘S’ direction then core-spinning is performed in such a way that the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) is obtained in ‘Z’ twisted direction in order to avoid snarling and curling effect in the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000). Also, if the core yarn (300) which is used along with the roving (100) and the core (200) is twisted in ‘Z’ direction then core-spinning is performed in such a way that the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) is obtained in ‘S’ twisted direction in order to avoid snarling and curling effect in the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000). For example, one end of a cotton or cellulosic roving along with finer ring spun cotton (or synthetic) yarn (twisted in reverse direction) and UHMWPE in core is used to spin the core/sheath yarn which may be used for Denim manufacturing as well comfortable protective clothing where UHMWPE is in core and cotton on sheath. This allows to produce the balance ring spun core yarn (1000) with minimum spirality without heat treatment using machines such as autoclave, TFO, doublers or the like.
[0036] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 illustrates the pictorial image of the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) thus, obtained with no snarling and curling effect.
[0037] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the core yarn (300) along with the roving (100) and the core (200) is twisted either in ‘Z’ or ‘S’ direction with 10-15 twists per metre. Similarly, the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) thus, obtained is twisted either in ‘S’ or ‘Z’ direction with 10-15 twists per metre.
[0038] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the core (200) is knitted along with the core yarn (300) such that the core yarn (300) is either positioned close to the core (200) of the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000), or is positioned on surface and away from the core (200) of the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000). Further, the roving (100) is spun with the core (200) which is knitted along with the core yarn (300) in such a manner that the roving (100) is positioned on surface and away from the core (200) of the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000).
[0039] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the core yarn (300) has a liner density 0.7-1.0 time that of the roving weight used, during core spinning.
[0040] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the core yarn (300) is present in an amount ranging from, but not limited to, 33% to 45% by weight of the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000). Further, the core (200) is present in an amount ranging from, but not limited to, 7% to 10% by weight of the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000).
[0041] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) further comprises multiple core yarns plied together. In other words, the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) is obtained by core spinning the three separate components, namely, the roving, core, and multiple core yarns plied together.
[0042] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) comprise a combination yarn or combination of fibers/filaments which provides necessary cut resistant, improved thermal and comfort features. The combination yarn may comprise of natural or synthetic fibers. The natural fibers may include, but not limited to, cotton, wool or the like. Further, the synthetic fibers may include, but not limited to, polyester, rayon, cellulose based fibers or the like. The combination of yarns may be ring spun, friction spun with filaments such as, but not limited to, UHMWPE i.e. Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene (50-1000 deniers). Further, the balanced ring spun core yarn has minimum spirality, hence, less curling or twisting is exhibited in final knitted fabrics.
[0043] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a process of preparing the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) is provided. At first step, the roving (100), core (200), and core yarn (300) are provided, as shown in Figure 1. The roving (100) is made up of high performance fibers selected from, but not limited to, a group consisting of high performance polyethylene fibers, aramid fibers, polyamide fibers, or polyimide fibers. The core (200) is made up of a reinforcement material selected from, but not limited to, a group consisting of e-glass, basalt, stainless steel, or tungsten. Further, the core yarn (300) is selected from, but not limited to, a group consisting of filamentous yarn, composite yarn, spun yarn, or combination yarn.
[0044] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, at second step of the process, the core yarn (300) along with the roving (100) and the core (200) is twisted in one direction. In other words, the core yarn (300) along with the roving (100) and the core (200) is twisted either in ‘S’ direction or ‘Z’ direction.
[0045] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, at third step of the process, the core spinning is performed in such a way that the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) is obtained which is twisted in an opposite direction as that of the core yarn (300) along with the roving (100) and the core (200). Further, the core yarn (300) has a liner density 0.7-1.0 time that of the roving weight used, during the core spinning.
[0046] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, when the core yarn (300) along with the roving (100) and the core (200) is twisted in ‘S’ direction then the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) thereby obtained by core spinning is twisted in ‘Z’ direction. Further, when the core yarn (300) along with the roving (100) and the core (200) is twisted in ‘Z’ direction, then the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) thereby obtained is twisted in ‘S’ direction. In other words, the direction of twisting the core yarn (300) along with the roving (100) and the core (200) is always opposite to the direction of twisting the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000), in order to produce the minimum or no curling or snarling effect without any heat treatment.
[0047] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) prepared by the process involves the core yarn (300) in an amount ranging from, but not limited to, 33% to 45% by weight of the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000); and the core (200) is present in an amount ranging from, but not limited to, 7% to 10% by weight of the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000).
[0048] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the process of preparing the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) further comprises the step of core spinning with multiple core yarns plied together. In other words, the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) is obtained by core spinning the roving, core, and multiple core yarns plied together.
[0049] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the snarling or curling effect is shown in conventional yarns, as shown in Figure 2(a) and (2b). Figure 2(a) shows the conventional yarn whereas Figure 2(b) shows the snarling or curling effect in the conventional yarn. Figure 3(a) and 3(b) shows the minimum snarling or curling effect in the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000). In particular, Figure 3(a) shows the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) having the core yarn with 30 micron tungsten in core along with glass, whereas Figure 3(b) shows the minimum snarling or curling effect in this balanced ring spun core yarn (1000). Figure 4(a) and 4(b) shows the no curling effect in the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000). In particular, Figure 4(a) shows the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) having the core yarn with 50 micron stainless steel wire in core with glass, whereas Figure 4(b) shows the no snarling or curling effect in this balanced ring spun core yarn (1000). The results of minimum or no curling effect in the balanced ring spun core yarn (1000) during the knitting of the protective textiles or fabrics are shown below in Table 1.

[0050] A shown in Table 1, the roving is initially twisted in ‘Z’ direction after spinning and the traditional core yarn (TCY) with 30 micron tungsten in core is twisted in ‘S’ direction. Further, the core yarn which is used along with the roving (100) and the core (200) is twisted in ‘S’ direction then core-spinning is performed in such a way that the balanced ring spun core yarn is obtained in ‘Z’ twisted direction in order to avoid snarling and curling effect in the balanced ring spun core yarn, as shown in Table 1. Furthermore, the minimum curling effect was shown in the balanced ring spun core yarn having at least 35% core yarn as construed from the Table 1. Also, the reduced curling effect was observed when 30 micron tungsten core yarn was used in the balanced ring spun core yarn. The minimum or reduced curling effect can be seen in Figure 3(b). Moreover, no curing effect was shown in the balanced ring spun core yarn having 46% core yarn reinforced with 50 micron stainless steel wire. The no curing effect can be seen in Figure 4(b). As shown in Table 1, the balanced ring spun core yarn shows better results in terms of minimum snarling or no snarling as compared to the conventional yarns when the balanced ring spun core yarn comprises 35% to 45% of the core yarn. Upon decreasing the core yarn content beyond this range, increase in curing and snarling was observed. Also, the conventional yarns showed snarling or curling effect when glass was used in the core. The snarling or curling effect is clearly seen in Figure 2(b).
[0051] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, further examples of the balanced ring spun core yarn with reduced or no curling or spirality were performed. In these examples core/sheath ring spun yarns or the core yarn was twisted in ‘Z’ direction. In one the examples, double ends of P-aramid/polyamide roving with 100 denier E-glass in core showed poor spirality. In another example, the balanced ring spun core yarn prepared using single end of P-aramid/polyamide roving with 100 denier E-glass in core and Ne 30 ring spun p-aramid (‘S’ twisted core yarn) showed reduction in spirality. In another example, the balanced ring spun core yarn prepared using single end of P-aramid/polyamide roving with 100 denier E-glass in core and Ne 16 ring spun p-aramid (‘S’ twisted core yarn) also showed reduction in spirality. In another example, the balanced ring spun core yarn prepared using single end of P-aramid/polyamide roving with 100 denier E-glass in core and 2 ends of Ne 30 ring spun p-aramid (both ‘S’ twisted core yarns) showed further reduction in spirality. In another example, the balanced ring spun core yarn prepared using single end of P-aramid/polyamide roving with 100 denier E-glass in core and 1 end of core spun yarn (sheath of p-aramid/polyamide, and core of 50 micron stainless steel) showed no spirality whereas, the balanced ring spun core yarn prepared using single end of P-aramid/polyamide roving with 100 denier E-glass in core and 1 end of core spun yarn (sheath of p-aramid/polyamide, and core of 30 micron tungsten) showed minimum or reduced spirality.
[0052] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the the balanced ring spun core yarn is used to manufacture flexible, lightweight, cut and abrasion resistant, stab and ballistic resistant and electric arc flash fire resistant protective textiles which may be potentially used in the field of any manufacturing industry, construction industry, agricultural industry, pharmaceutical industry, defense industry, food industry or the like.
[0053] Apart from what is disclosed above, the present invention also includes some additional benefits and advantages. Few of the additional benefits are mentioned below:
• The present invention provides the balanced ring spun core yarn which exhibits minimum curling and spirality during knitting of protective textiles.
• The balanced ring spun core yarn avoids the use of chemicals and additional machineries such as autoclaves or doubler/TFO thus, reduces the manufacturing cost and is economical. In other words, the balanced ring spun core yarn is balanced (no snarling/twisting) accordingly, there is no need to double ply to achieve non-twisting of the yarn, for example, no need to double ply to achieve non-twisted fingers in seamless knitted gloves.
• The balanced ring spun core yarn reduces the risk of disintegration or breakage of fibers due to minimum or no curling or twisting in the knitted fabrics.
• The process of preparing the balanced ring spun core yarn provides unique way of introducing ‘multiple’ core components in ring frame at the same time. For example, light weight cut resistant gloves manufactured using the balanced ring spun core yarn spun on ring frames.
