ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
1. Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a weaving method to put a laser-processed diagram sheet onto a woven band without spoiling the diagrams printed on the sheet. In a first step, a laser-processed diagram sheet is cut into a plurality of delicate strips a number of which are then rolled up in a group at one end onto one of a plurality of weaver's shuttles respectively. The weaver's shuttles with grouped delicate strips are arranged in such an order that the rolled laser-processed diagram strips on the shuttles are interwoven as warp yarns with natural fabric fibers used as weft yarns with the diagram wholly and easily reproduced without damage. Besides, colorful and three-dimensional illumination effects can be obtained when light is shed onto such a woven fabric.
2. Prior Art
In general, the conventional method of weaving gold rimmed strip rolls
10
on a fabric band is illustrated in
FIGS. 1
,
2
. In the first step, a gold rimmed sheet
10
of proper width is cut into a plurality of delicate strips
10
′ by a strip cutting machine One end of each cut strip
10
′ is respectively rolled up on one of a plurality of weaver's shuttles
20
and served as warp yarns so that natural fabric fibers
30
served as weft yarns are interwoven with the warp yarns to produce an elongated and flat fabric band
40
by means of a weaving machine.
Such a conventional weaving method of putting gold-rimmed sheet
10
into a fabric band has the following disadvantages:
1. A gold-rimmed sheet
10
is cut into strips
10
′ which are rolled upon a weaver's shuttle respectively and woven into a fabric band with natural fibers so that light shed on such a fabric band can only produce bright and shiny effect which is simple and monotonous without any artistic value.
2. lf a diagram is shown on a gold-rimmed sheet
10
, such a weaving method will spoil the diagram in weaving if so many shuttles are not properly arranged in order.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a method of weaving a fabric with a laser sheet woven thereon without spoiling the diagram on that laser sheet which is first cut into a plurality of elongated strips. A certain amount of the cut sheet strips are then rolled up on each of a selective number of weaver's shuttles instead of upon individual weaver's shuttles and interwoven with natural fabric fibers into a long and flat band whereby when light is shed on the woven fabric band, bright and 3-dimensional diagram will show up on the fabric band without spoiling.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of weaving a fabric band with a laser-processed diagram sheet woven thereon. In such a method the diagram appears on the laser-processed diagram sheet be reproduced on a woven fabric with the colorful and 3-dimensional diagram shown on that laser sheet not slightly damaged at all.
