Adhesive textile

Abstract

Textile with an adhesive effect containing at least one stitch-forming adhesive thread. The adhesive thread has a component that imparts an adhesive effect at least at a surface thereof.

Claims

1. A method for producing a textile with an adhesive effect, the method comprising: a) supplying an adhesive thread having a surface comprising an adhesion promoting component having an adhesive effect; b) reversibly masking the adhesive effect of the adhesion promoting component of the adhesive thread by: b1) supplying a masking solution or a masking suspension; and b2) contacting the surface of the adhesive thread with the masking solution or masking suspension comprising a polymer that is soluble in a solvent or in a solvent vapor and curing the masking solution or masking suspension to form a masking layer comprising the polymer, the masking layer partially or completely covering the adhesive thread to generate a masked adhesive thread comprising the masking layer; c) forming the masked adhesive thread as a stitch-forming thread or a loop in a textile material; and d) demasking the adhesion promoting component by removing the masking layer from the masked adhesive thread.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the removing the masking from the masked adhesive thread comprises washing the textile material in a solvent and/or treating the textile material with a solvent vapor.

3. A textile with an adhesive effect produced by the method according to claim 1.

4. A sock or textile with an adhesive effect, the sock or textile comprising at least one stitch-forming adhesive thread having: a surface comprising an adhesive promoting component that imparts an adhesive effect; and a removable masking layer coating a portion or all of the surface, wherein the removable masking layer is generated by: contacting the at least one stitch-forming adhesive thread with a masking solution or a masking suspension; and curing the masking solution or masking suspension on the surface.

5. The sock or textile according to claim 4, wherein the adhesion promoting component is an elastomer or a self-stick adhesive.

6. The sock or textile according to claim 4, which is formed as a knitted or a crocheted material fabric, wherein the at least one stitch-forming adhesive thread is embodied as a mesh and runs at a surface of the knitted or crocheted material fabric in at least some sections to form an adhesive surface on the sock or textile.

7. The sock or textile according to claim 4, which is a woven or a nonwoven fabric, wherein the at least one stitch-forming adhesive thread is designed as a loop and runs at a surface of the sock or textile in at least some sections to form an adhesive surface on the sock or textile.

8. A method for producing a textile with an adhesive effect, the method comprising: forming a masked adhesive thread into a textile material, the masked adhesive thread comprising an adhesive thread having an adhesive surface and a removable masking layer coating the adhesive surface of the adhesive thread and masking the adhesive surface, wherein the masked adhesive thread is formed by: contacting an adhesive thread with a masking liquid comprising a water-soluble polymer; and curing the masking liquid to form the masked adhesive thread.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the water-soluble polymer comprises polyvinyl alcohol, polyacetate, polylacetate, or polypropylene sulfide.

10. The method according to claim 8, wherein the water-soluble polymer comprises casein, starch, or cellulose.

11. The method according to claim 8, wherein the removable masking layer coats a portion of the adhesive surface.

12. The method according to claim 8, wherein the removable masking layer completely coats the adhesive surface.

13. The method according to claim 8, wherein the adhesive surface comprises a silicone elastomer, a polyurethane elastomer, or a chloroprene elastomer.

14. The method according to claim 8, wherein the forming comprises knitting, crocheting, or weaving the masked adhesive thread into the textile material.

15. The method according to claim 8, further comprising: forming the textile material into a sock.

16. The method according to claim 8, further comprising: removing the removable masking layer by washing the textile material in water; and exposing the adhesive surface of the adhesive thread.

Description

(1) The invention is described in greater detail by the following exemplary embodiment, without considering this to be restrictive.

(2) FIG. 1 shows a detail of a mesh material, in particular for use as a base body of a bandage containing a knitting thread 10 and another stitch-forming knitting thread 20. Elastic rubber threads 30 are inserted into the woven fabric. According to the invention, the stitch-forming thread 20 has a tacky adhesive surface, which is exposed after knitting the thread 20 by washing off the mask in the finished mesh material. The stitch-forming thread 20 with an adhesive surface runs at the surface of the mesh material in at least some sections, where it imparts a nonslip effect.
