- the total amount of the ion powder and metallic powder when a metallic power has been impregnated, or the total amount of ion powder and far-infrared radiating powdered body and metallic powder to be blended is from 0.1% to 1.0% as a weight ratio (claim 13 ).
- the stockings of the present invention shall include regular stockings, pantyhose having a welt part and a panty part, tights, and above-the-knee stockings.
- FIG. 1 is an explanatory drawing showing a working example of the knitting yart to be used in the stockings of the present invention, where (a) shows the contracted state, and (b) shows the extended state.
- FIG. 1 is an explanatory drawing showing a working example of the knitting yart to be used in the stockings of the present invention, where FIG. 1 ( a ) shows the contracted state, and FIG. 1 ( b ) shows the extended state.
- the stockings of the present invention are knitted using a knitting yarn impregnated with an ion powder (hereinafter, “ion knitting yarn”), and are provided with at least one knitted part using this ion knitting yarn.
- ion knitting yarn impregnated with an ion powder
- any one location or several locations such as the welt part of the waist section, the panty part of the hip section, the leg part of the leg section, or the toe part of toe section, or the entirety, can be knitted using the ion knitting yarn.
- stockings may be referred to, respectively, as a woolly-type that uses a false-twist textured yarn, a zokki-type that uses a covering yarn (single-covering or double-covering) in 100% [of the stocking], or an alternating-course-type that is knitted using alternating courses of a covering yarn and a straight yarn, but the stockings of the present invention are applicable to any of these.
- the ion knitting yarn employs a covering yarn in which a single or double layer of a non-elastic yarn is wound around an elastic core yarn, and is made in such a way that an ion powder is impregnated into the elastic core yarn and/or the non-elastic yarn that constitute this covering yarn.
- a covering yarn used as the ion knitting yarn may be made in such a way that a false-twist textured yarn is wound around an elastic core yarn, and the ion powder is impregnated into this elastic core yarn and/or false-twist textured yarn.
- the ion knitting yarn is not limited to a covering yarn, and may also use a single false-twist textured yarn and be made in such a way that the ion powder is impregnated into this false-twist textured yarn.
- the ion knitting yarn of the Working Example uses a covering yarn A wherein a non-elastic yarn 2 such as a nylon-based (polyamide)/polyester-based fiber is wound around an elastic core yarn 1 (polyurethane based elastic yarn), and the ion powder is impregnated into the nylon-6, that is, the non-elastic yarn 2 .
- a non-elastic yarn 2 such as a nylon-based (polyamide)/polyester-based fiber is wound around an elastic core yarn 1 (polyurethane based elastic yarn), and the ion powder is impregnated into the nylon-6, that is, the non-elastic yarn 2 .
- the ion powder is added to the chips (granulated material) of the nylon-6, that is, the nylon-6 raw material, agitated sufficiently so that the powder granules are evenly and uniformly dispersed, and then prepared by ordinary synthetic fiber spinning processes (heating, compression, extrusion, stretching, etc.).
- Covering yarn A is made by winding the non-elastic yarn 2 (nylon-6) containing the ion powder which was manufactured as described above around the elastic core yarn 1 (polyurethane-based elastic yarn), and stockings are knitted using this covering yarn A by an automatic knitting machine.
- the particle diameter of ion powder will vary depending on the thickness of the yarn to be manufactured, but to manufacture yarn to be used in stockings, less than or equal to 2.0 microns is preferable, and less than or equal to 1.5 microns is more preferable.
- the diameter of 2-denier nylon is approximately 16 microns (calculated value), and given this, it is preferable that the particle diameter of the ion powder be less than or equal to 2.0 microns.
- the amount of ion powder to be blended is preferably from 0.05% to 3.00%, more preferably from 0.1% to 1.0%, as a weight ratio.
- the powder particles may not be uniformly dispersed, and a portion thereof may form lumps (from a few to several dozen clusters) and yarn breakage may occur during the spinning phase.
- the amount to be blended is 0.05% or less, the advantageous effect intrinsic to the ion powder will be diluted and it will be difficult to achieve the effect envisioned.
- the quantity of ion powder to be blended is from 0.1% to 1.0% as a weight ratio, large numbers of powder particles will not form clusters in a single area, the uniformity of the yarn's physical properties can be maintained, and further, the advantageous effect of the ion powder can occur consistently.
- the example cited was the one in which ion powder is impregnated into non-elastic yarn 2 (nylon-6) of the covering yarn A, the ion powder may also be incorporated into the elastic core yarn (polyurethane-based elastic yarn) of the covering yarn.
- ion powder can be impregnated compared to non-elastic yarns because the yarn diameter of the elastic core yarn of the covering yarn is thicker and it can be employed for other purposes, such as a knitting yarn for tights, and, because the ion powder does not tend to come into direct contact with the skin, there is an advantage in that the feel of the stocking against the skin is not compromised.
- the ion powder used in the present invention is a multi-element mineral powdered body formed by pulverizing a multi-element mineral.
- the multi-element mineral powdered body used as the ion powder can also be used by mixing with a far-infrared radiating powdered body formed by pulverizing a far-infrared radiating material.
- a multi-element mineral is described as a mineral having silicon as its principal constituent, for example, pearlite or pitchstone, and which incorporates a good balance of a multiplicity of elements. It is known that these minerals emit negative ions and electromagnetic waves (extremely weak energy), and that when applied to the body, the moisture in the body is mineralized and causes proteins to be activated. In this case, it is preferable that the multi-element mineral powdered body be used by mixing together two or more types thereof, although it may also be one type.
- far-infrared radiating materials include alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), titania (TiO 2 ), ferrite (Fe 2 O 3 ), chromium oxide (Cr 2 O 3 ), silica (SiO 2 ), yttria (Y 2 O 3 ), magnesia (MgO), and the like, and these can be used either alone or in combination in the form of a powdered body by pulverizing these.
- a cluster phenomenon (a force that reduces the size of aqueous molecular assemblies) occurs in fluids as a result of the negative ions, thereby improving blood circulation in areas where [the stockings] are worn, and aiding in the improvement of immune system potency, mood stability, physical functions, the elimination of waste, the improvement of respiratory function, relief of the feelings of fatigue, and the like.
- electromagnetic waves radiate from the multi-element mineral to a distance of from 5 to 10 mm in the surrounding area.
- These electromagnetic waves have a wavelength of from 4 to 14 ⁇ m, and act to electrically alter the area around the nucleus of atoms, and further induce an excited state (vibration) in the atoms and further, in matter [composed] thereof.
- the polymerization of the water clusters is cut off and abbreviated, the volume of the water contracts and density increases, bringing about abundant adhesion of water (free water) to the outer membranes of animals and plant cells, causing hyperosmosis of water along with Ca 2+ into the interior of the cells, thereby causing various cell functions to be activated.
- the results of having test subjects wear stockings that had been knitted using knitting yarn into which 1.0% by weight of an ion powder having a particle diameter of 1.5 microns had been blended hereinafter, “the present invention product”
- commercial product commercially available stockings in which no ion powder had been mixed
- the test used three test subjects (women), and the first day, they were made to wear the present invention product, and the next day, the commercial product. Serum lactic acid levels before wearing and seven hours after wearing [the stockings], respectively, were measured. It should also be noted that the subjects were made to do the same activity for a period of two days.
- the measurement results for serum lactic acid levels and changed values are shown in Table 2.
- the particle diameter of the far-infrared radiating powdered body will depend on the thickness of the yarn to be manufactured, but provided that it is to be manufactured into a yarn for stockings, it is preferable that it be less than or equal to 2.0 microns, more preferably less than or equal to 1.5 microns, similar to the ion powder.
- the total amount of both to be blended is preferably from 0.06% to 3.00%, more preferably from 0.1% to 1.0%, as a weight ratio.
