Textile manufactured article realized by embroidery machines

Abstract

Textile manufactured article made with embroidering machines, comprising a base structure and at least one thread-like and/or ribbon-like element. The base structure is composed of thread-like and/or ribbon-like elements made of at least a first material. The ornamental thread-like and/or ribbon-like element is made of at least a second material, different from the first material in terms of mechanical resistance and light reflection/refraction. The ornamental thread-like and/or ribbon-like element is connected to the base structure through a plurality of knottings, arranged at pre-defined intervals along the thread-like and/or ribbon-like element realized made of at least the first material. The first material is a nylon having a yarn number between 40,000 Nn and 80,000 Nm.

Description

(1) The object of the present invention also includes a method for manufacturing an improved textile manufactured article on embroidery machinery (which will be adapted to perform macram-type processing):

(2) this method is thus specifically suitable to make an improved manufactured article according to the description so far (and as claimed below) and mainly comprises the following steps: first, a provisional base structure is weaved, which can be arranged into warp and weft and/or according to a pre-determined ornamental pattern:

(3) this provisional base structure comprises a pre-determined number of thread-like and/or ribbon-like elements, made at least of a first nylon material having a yarn number comprised between 40,000 Nn and 80,000 Nm (which thus constitute the final base structure of finished manufactured article 1 according to the invention) and at least one thread-like/ribbon-like element made of a material that can be discharged (for example, an acetate or, more generally, a textile material which, in the jargon of this technical field, is termed chemicalized material); the above-mentioned provisional base structure is associated to at least one ornamental thread-like and/or ribbon-like element, which is conveniently made of at least one second material different from the material the base structure is made of (both the provisional and final one) in terms of mechanical resistance and or light reflection/refraction; and finally the thread-like and/or ribbon-like element made of material that can be discharged are destroyed (e.g. by chemical melting in solvent and/or by pyrolysis), so as to obtain a final base structure interconnected to the ornamental thread-like and/or ribbon-like element.

(4) Conveniently, the association step of the ornamental thread-like and/or ribbon-like element to the provisional base structure comprises a sub-step of making a plurality of knottings arranged at pre-defined intervals along the provisional base structure itself: these knottings may be realized simultaneously to the provisional base structure definition/realization step.

(5) The invention provides a number of advantages, in addition to those previously explained.

(6) In fact, due to the unique structural architecture of the manufactured article, it is possible to obtain remarkable mechanical features without the necessity of a high mesh density: this makes it possible to realize very open structures, thus preserving the typical aesthetic appearance of embroidered manufactured articles, associating this aesthetic appearance to an ability to resist to traction/tear/cut which definitely cannot be found in traditional embroidered manufactured articles.

(7) At the same time, the unique interconnection mode between the elements constituting the mesh structure of the present manufactured article makes it possible to obtain high coherence and maintenance of both mesh structure and aesthetic appearance, as well as a visual peculiarity (precisely obtained with the succession of knots nested between the support structure and the ornamental strand) which cannot be found in the state of the art.

(8) Further, the particular choice of materials that can form the support structure gives the embroidered manufactured article particular optical properties, which, in turn, create a metallic/reflective/shiny finish, which is definitely unattainable in manufactured articles of the known type.

(9) Departing from the viewpoints of the production methodology, the use of embroidery machinery offers an extremely broad freedom of choice of the mesh structures, advantageously associated to reduced set-up timing for the machines themselves: this allows satisfying highly variable requests in very short times, thus maximizing plant productivity and flexibility.

(10) Finally, it is noteworthy that the present invention allows keeping low production prices of the manufactured article and does not involve particular complications and modifications or adaptations, also on known-type machinery, to the advantage of the overall production economy and of the final product price.
