Description:
Fabric roll

The subject of the invention is the fabric roll with perforation making it possible to easily tear off the pieces of fabric - called leaves - with specific dimensions, used especially for dry or wet cleaning of all surfaces and objects in a household and in other applications in related to maintenance of cleanliness.

There are known fabric rolls made of a mixture of viscose and polyester fibres in relation to 70% to 30% or other and kitchen fabric rolls made of material being a mixture of long polyester, polypropylene and viscose fibres and of cellulose pulp joined in the water needling technology.

An inconvenience of these rolls is their insufficiently high absorbency and high smoothness related to the type of fibres, increasing with growth in the share of fibres of petrochemical origin and causing hindered collection and absorption of dirt.

The purpose of the invention is to prepare a roll of increased absorbency and better collection and absorption of dirt.

The essence of the fabric roll, according to the invention, is making fabric with the content of cotton fibres in the quantity from 50 to 100%, chemically bleached, with the addition that fabric contains, in addition, cellulose fibres in the quantity from 5up to 50% and/or viscose fibres in the quantity from 30 to 50% and/or polyester fibres in the quantity from 5 to 20%.

Preferably, the unit weight of fabric is within 30-150 g/m2, and dimensions of leaves range between: length L=15cm - 60 cm and width W=15cm - 60 cm. A band of fabric is wound on a core with the diameter up to 20 to 76 mm. Fabric is laterally notched or perforated in order to facilitate tearing off a particular section of fabric-leaf.

Preferably, if leaves of the fabric roll are made of a mixture of fibres of bleached cotton the cellulose fibres produced in the process of direct dissolving of cellulose in the substance called NMMO (N-oxide- N-methylmorpholine), with the addition that their content in this mixture is from 60% to 90%,

Preferably, the leaves of the fabric roll are made of a mixture of fibres of bleached cotton with viscose, with the addition that their quantity in this mixture is from 50% to 70%.

Preferably, the leaves of the fabric roll are made of a mixture of fibres of bleached cotton with polyester fibres, with the addition that their quantity in this mixture is from 80% to 95%.

Preferably, the leaves of the fabric roll are impregnated with a surface-active substance (detergent) or a mixture of surface-active substances.

Preferably, the leaves of the fabric roll have two fabric surfaces made of fibres of different properties, with the addition that one side of the fabric is made in 100% of fibres of bleached cotton, and the second side is made of thicker and rougher fibres, such as mixture of bi- component fibres thick dtex > = 4 viscose and polyester fibres with dtex > = 4, suitable for removal of hardly removable dirt. Preferably, every surface is dyed with a different colour.

Preferably, the leaves of the fabric roll have at least one surface with alternately placed concave and convex cones, pressed by way of water needling of variable surface density or water needling of fabric on perforated cylinder or on a strip of thermal pressing.

Also preferably, on the fabric fibres, a substance or a mixture of substances is applied and then dried, reducing surface tension, consisting of ionic or non-ionic detergents and substances ethoxylated with ethylene monoxide or emulsions of these substances with synthetic, mineral or natural oils.

The fabric rolls, according to the invention, are characterized by increased absorbability, and, at the same time increasing micro- roughness of the face surfaces of fabric of the roll coming from fibres of bleached cotton which causes increase in effectiveness of wiping dirt, especially from very smooth and shiny surfaces, such as glass, glazed or polished ceramics, stainless steel and chromium-nickel-plated steel.

In addition, there is also a better capacity of absorption of water and other fluids, therefore it is possible to absorb spilt liquid from the cleaned surface faster and easier.

The subject matter of the invention is presented in the examples of preparation on the drawing presenting a simplified sketch of the roll according to the invention - Fig. 1 and cross-section of the fabric in the case when both external surfaces fabric vary in composition of fibres - Fig. 2 or surface texture - Fig. 3.
