DESCRIPTION
WOVEN FABRIC HAVING FRILL
Technical Field
[0001]
The present invention relates to a woven fabric having
a frill used for manufacture of a skirt having a frill, blouse
having a frill and the like.
Background Art
[0002]
If a skirt having a frill, a blouse having a frill and
the like are to be manufactured in the clothing field,
end-portion processing and sewing of a frill are accomplished
mostly by sewing using a sewing machine.
[0003]
Conventionally, if a skirt having three tiers of frills
is to be manufactured, for example, three frill cloths are made
by cutting a desired fabric into a desired width and they are
subjected to processing for preventing fraying at an end portion
of each frill cloth. If the frill is to be gathered, an
upper-end side portion of each frill cloth is sewn into a shorter
length so as to equally gather each frill. Then, by sewing the
three frill cloths in order from the lower tier to a skirt cloth
1
CA 02799368 2012-11-13
fabricated separately from the frill, a skirt having a frill
is completed (See Non-Patent Literature 1, for example).

Summary of Invention
Technical Problem
[0005]
However, the above-described prior-art technology has
problems described below.
[0006]
In the prior-art technology, a cutting work of a fabric
for fabricating the above-described three frill cloths requires
4 processes. The processing methods for preventing fraying at
end portions of the three frill cloths include a merrow lock
stitch, three rolled, zigzag three rolled sewing and the like,
and so the processing on both end portions of the three frill
cloths requires 6 processes as a work. When the frill is
gathered, the upper-end portion of each frill cloth is sewn
shorter as described above, and processing is needed to be
performed for three cloths, so that three processes of work are
2
CA 02799368 2012-11-13
required. When the three frill cloths are sewn to the skirt
cloth in the order from the lower tier, a procedure such that
a position where the frill is to be sewn is marked with a line
and the frill cloth is sewn by a lock-stitch sewing machine at
the position of the marked line is used in order to make clean
finishing, but this work needs 6 processes, and moreover, the
sewn position is sewn inside by using a cover-stitch sewing
machine in order to hide the sewn position of the frill cloth
and a holding stitch is applied by the lock-stitch sewing
machine, which makes 6 processes in total, is required.
[0007]
As described above, with the prior-art technology, since
the work of 25 processes at the minimum is required even for
fabricating three tiers of frills and sewing them to the skirt
cloth, the manufacture needs enormous time and labor and has
a problem of a high manufacturing cost.
[0008]
The present invention has an object to solve such
problems.
Solution to Problem
[0009]
In order to solve such problems, a woven fabric having
a frill of the present invention is characterized by having a
base cloth portion, a frill cloth portion in number of tiers
3
CA 02799368 2012-11-13
required to have a overlapping relationship with this base cloth
portion provided on a front side of the base cloth portion, a
binding portion where the base cloth portion and one end of the
frill cloth portion are bound by folded-weaving, and a
connection portion fabricated only by a warp and provided so
as to penetrate the base cloth portion from a tip end of the
frill cloth portion on the side opposite to the binding portion
and to connect to one end of the binding portion.
Advantageous Effects of Invention
[0010]
According to the present invention, after the connection
portion is cut and the tip end of the frill cloth portion is
separated from the base cloth portion 1, a fine frill can be
made easily only by applying work such as merrow lock stitch
and the like for preventing fraying at the tip end thereof and
thus, the frill can be completed only with 1/3 to 1/4 of the
conventional processes. Moreover, since the present invention
does not require difficult sewing artifice requiring skills,
a skirt or blouse having a fine frill and the like can be
manufactured easily at a low cost advantageously.

Description of Embodiments
[0012]
An embodiment of a woven fabric having a frill according
to the present invention will be described below by referring
to the attached drawings.
Embodiment 1
CA 02799368 2012-11-13
[0013]
Fig. 1 is a side view of an essential part illustrating
a first embodiment and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the
essential part illustrating the first embodiment, in which
reference numeral 1 denotes a base cloth portion, reference
numeral 2 denotes a frill cloth portion, reference numeral 3
denotes a binding portion, and reference numeral 4 denotes a
connection portion. The base cloth portion 1, the frill cloth
portion 2, the binding portion 3, and the connection portion
4 are woven continuously and integrally by a Jacquard loom.
[0014]
Here, the base cloth portion 1 is a cloth portion which
becomes a base for a skirt, a blouse and the like, and the frill
cloth portion 2 is a cloth portion which becomes a decoration
frill, and this frill cloth portion 2 in number corresponding
to tiers (frill cloths) required to have a overlapping
relationship with the base cloth portion 1 is provided on the
front side of the base cloth portion 1. The binding portion
3 is a portion where the base cloth portion 1 and the frill cloth
portion 2 are folded and woven, and one end of the frill cloth
portion 2 is bound to the base cloth portion 1 by this binding
portion 3. Moreover, in the binding portion 3, a urethane yarn
is used as a weft yarn having contractility. As this urethane
yarn, a yarn stretched and solidified by glue is used, and after
6
CA 02799368 2012-11-13
being woven as a weft yarn, the glue is washed off, and the
binding portion 3 is contracted so that a gather 5 is created
in a portion on the binding portion 3 side of the base cloth
portion 1 and the frill cloth portion 2 at equal intervals.
[0015]
Fig. 3 is a partial perspective view of the connection
portion 4. The connection portion 4 is a portion created only
by warps and is provided so as to penetrate the base cloth portion
1 from an end portion (hereinafter referred to as a tip end)
on the side opposite to the binding portion 3 of the frill cloth
portion 2 and to connect to one end of the binding portion 3.
The connection portion 4 is also created such that looseness
is given on the back side of the base cloth portion 1 and a cutting
tool such as scissors can be inserted therein.
[0016]
Fig. 4 is a side view of an essential part illustrating
a process of completing a frill, and Fig. 5 is a perspective
view of the essential part, in which the connection portion 4
of the woven fabric having a frill woven as above is cut by
inserting a cutting tool such as scissors into the portion given
looseness on the back side of the base cloth portion 1. After
the cutting, by lifting up the frill cloth portion 2, the tip
end of the frill cloth portion 2 is separated from the base cloth
portion 1 as illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5 and then, by applying
7
CA 02799368 2012-11-13
work such as merrow lock stitch or the like in order to prevent
fraying at the tip end of the frill cloth portion 2, the frill
is completed. The warp of the connection portion 4 remains on
the binding portion 3 side, but since the binding portion 3 is
firmly woven by folded-weaving, there is no concern that the
binding portion 3 frays.
[0017]
The woven fabric having a frill completed as above can
be used for easily manufacturing a skirt having a frill by sewing
and can be also used for manufacturing clothes such as a blouse
having a frill on a body part or a sleeve by using this woven
fabric having a frill and can be further used for manufacture
of decorations, accessories and the like having frills.
[0018]
As described above, since the woven fabric having a frill
according to the first embodiment is composed of the base cloth
portion 1, the frill cloth portion 2 in number of tiers (frill
cloths) required to have a overlapping relationship with this
base cloth portion 1 provided on the front side of the base cloth
portion 1, the binding portion 3 binding the base cloth portion
1 and the frill cloth portion 2 by folded-weaving, and the
connection portion 4 fabricated only by warps and provided so
as to penetrate the base cloth portion 1 from the tip end on
the side opposite to the binding portion 3 of the frill cloth
8
CA 02799368 2012-11-13
portion 2 and to connect to one end of the binding portion 3
are woven continuously and integrally, after the connection
portion 4 is cut off and the frill cloth portion 2 is lifted
up and separated from the base cloth portion 1, only by applying
working process such as merrow lock stitch or the like for
preventing fraying of the tip end of the frill cloth portion
2, a fine frill can be created easily.
[0019]
Since the urethane yarn made by being stretched and
solidified with glue is woven as a weft yarn for the binding
portion 3, by washing off the glue and making the binding portion
3 contract, the gather 5 can be created at equal intervals on
a portion on the binding portion 3 side of the base cloth portion
1 and each frill cloth portion 2. Moreover, if a skirt is to
be manufactured, for example, the frill cloth portion 2, the
binding portion 3, and the connection portion 4 can be woven
with the base cloth portion 1 in a series of processes for weaving
the base cloth portion 1 from a waist to a hem of the skirt by
Jacquard weaving, so that the manufacture is extremely easy.
[0020]
As described above, in the woven fabric having a frill,
according to the first embodiment, a process to completion of
a frill is made shorter than a conventional frill work by sewing,
and if processes of making a three-tiered frill is compared,
9
CA 02799368 2012-11-13
for example, the conventional frill work by sewing requires at
least 25 processes, while the first embodiment needs only 6
processes in total, that is, 3 processes for cutting of the
connection portion 4 and 3 processes for work of merrow lock
stitch or the like for preventing fraying at the tip end of the
frill cloth portion 2. Thus, with the first embodiment, the
three-tiered frill can be completed with processes
substantially 1/4 of the conventional processes and moreover,
since a difficult sewing artifice requiring skills is not needed,
a skirt or blouse having a fine frill and the like can be
manufactured easily at a low cost advantageously.
Embodiment 2
[00211
Fig. 6 is a side view of an essential part illustrating
a second embodiment, and Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the
essential part illustrating the second embodiment, and in this
second embodiment, a ribbon frill is used as a frill. In this
second embodiment, the connection portion 4 in the first
embodiment is omitted, the frill cloth portion 2 in number of
tiers (frill cloths) required to have a overlapping
relationship with the base cloth portion 1 is provided on the
front side of the base cloth portion 1, both ends of the frill
cloth portion 2 are folded and woven with the base cloth portion
1 so as to create the binding portion 3 so that the frill cloth
CA 02799368 2012-11-13
portion 2 is bound to the base cloth portion 1 by the binding
portion 3. Moreover, a weft yarn in color different from that
of the frill cloth portion 2 is woven in a desired portion, such
as at the center part of each frill cloth 2, so that a cut line
(line for cutting) 6 is provided.
[0022]
In this second embodiment, too, the base cloth portion
1, the frill cloth portion 2, and the binding portion 3 are woven
by a Jacquard loom continuously and integrally. A urethane yarn
as a yarn having contractility formed by being stretched and
solidified by glue is woven as a weft yarn in the binding portion
3, and by washing off the glue so as to have the binding portion
3 contract, the gathers 5 are created at equal intervals on a
portion on the binding portion 3 side of the base cloth portion
1 and each frill cloth portion 2.
[0023]
Fig. 8 is a side view of an essential part illustrating
a process of completing a ribbon frill, Fig. 5 is a perspective
view of the essential part, and the frill cloth portion 2 of
a woven fabric having a frill woven as above is cut by a cutting
tool such as scissors in accordance with the cut line 6. As
a result, the frill cloth portion 2 is divided into two parts
between the binding portions 3, and by applying work such as
merrow lock stitch or the like for preventing fraying of the
11
CA 02799368 2012-11-13
tip end of each of the divided part, the ribbon frill is
completed.
[0024]
The woven fabric having a frill in which the ribbon frill
is completed as above can be used for easily manufacturing a
skirt having a ribbon frill by sewing and can be also used for
manufacturing clothes such as a blouse having a ribbon frill
on a body part or a sleeve by using this woven fabric having
a frill and can be further used for manufacture of decorations,
accessories and the like having ribbon frills.
[0025]
As described above, in the woven fabric having a frill
according to the second embodiment, the frill cloth portion 2
in number of tiers (frill cloths) required to have a overlapping
relationship with the base cloth portion 1 is provided on the
front side of the base cloth portion 1, and the both ends of
the frill cloth portion 2 are folded and woven with the base
cloth portion 1 so as to create the binding portion 3, thereby
the weft yarn in color different from that of the frill cloth
portion 2 is woven in a desired portion, such as the center part
of each frill cloth 2, so as to provide the cut line 6. In
accordance with the cut line 6, the frill cloth portion 2 is
cut by a cutting tool such as scissors or the like, so as to
divide the frill cloth portion 2 between the binding portions
12
CA 02799368 2012-11-13
3 and by applying work such as merrow lock stitch or the like
for preventing fraying of the tip end of each of the divided
parts, a fine ribbon frill can be created easily.
[00261
Since the urethane yarn made by being stretched and
solidified with glue is woven as a weft yarn for the binding
portion 3, by washing off the glue and by having the binding
portion 3 contract, the gathers 5 can be created at equal
intervals on the portion on the binding portion 3 side of the
base cloth portion 1 and each frill cloth portion 2. Moreover,
if a skirt is to be manufactured, for example, the frill cloth
portion 2 and the binding portion 34 can be woven with the base
cloth portion 1 in a series of processes for weaving the base
cloth portion 1 from a waist to a hem of the skirt by Jacquard
weaving, so that the manufacture is extremely easy.
[00271
As described above, in the woven fabric having a frill
according to the first embodiment, a process to completion of
a ribbon frill is made shorter than a conventional frill work
by sewing, and if processes of creating a three-tiered ribbon
frill is compared, for example, the conventional frill work by
sewing requires at least 28 processes, while the first
embodiment needs only 9 processes in total, that is, 3 processes
for cutting of the connection portion 4 and 6 processes for work
13
CA 02799368 2012-11-13
of merrow lock stitch or the like for preventing fraying at the
tip end of the frill cloth portion 2, and thus, the three-tiered
ribbon frill can be completed with processes substantially 1/3
to 1/4 of the conventional processes. Moreover, since the
present invention does not require difficult sewing artifice
requiring skills, a skirt or blouse having a fine ribbon frill
and the like can be manufactured easily at a low cost
advantageously.
[0028]
In the above-described first and second embodiments, the
entirety is assumed to be woven by Jacquard but may be woven
by dobby or the like.
