Textile product particularly for the goldsmiths ware and clothing sectors and relative manufacturing method

Abstract

A textile product is described, particularly for the goldsmiths' sector, for the production of bracelets, necklaces, ornamental objects and the like, and for the clothing sector for the production of fabrics for rich articles of clothing. Said textile product comprises at least one precious thread ( 7 ) comprising a base thread ( 1 ) covered with a coating ( 6 ) of noble metal according to the desired carat weight. The base thread ( 1 ) consists of a core ( 2 ) of plastic material or synthetic fibre covered with a coat ( 3 ) of metallic material, and the coating ( 6 ) of noble metal is obtained by means of galvanic deposition of the noble metal on said coat ( 3 ) of the base thread.

 a base thread consisting of a core of plastic material or synthetic fiber covered with a coat of conductive material, and    a coating of noble metal obtained by means of galvanic deposition of the noble metal on said coat of said base thread, characterized in that said coating of noble metal has a carat weight ranging from 33%-95%.    
     
     
         2 . A textile product according to  claim 1 , characterized in that said core of the base thread comprises at least one of nylon and polyamide.  
     
     
         3 . A textile product according to  claim 1 , characterized in that said coat of the base thread comprises a conductive metal.  
     
     
         4 . A textile product according to  claim 1 , characterized in that said core has a thickness of between 20 microns and 2 millimeters.  
     
     
         5 . A textile product according to  claim 1 , characterized in that said coating of precious metal comprises a noble metal.  
     
     
         6 . A textile product according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises at least one strand obtained from at least one twisted base thread, said strand being coated with noble metal by means of a galvanic bath.  
     
     
         7 . A textile product according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises at least one cord obtained by laying a plurality of strands of base threads, said cord being coated with noble metal by means of a galvanic bath.  
     
     
         8 . A textile product according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises at least one fabric obtained by weaving of a plurality of base threads, said fabric being coated with noble metal by means of a galvanic bath.  
     
     
         9 . A textile product according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises an item of jewelry.  
     
     
         10 . A textile product according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises a fabric for clothing.  
     
     
         11 . A textile product according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises a plurality of base threads processed with textile machines so as to obtain at least one of strands, cords and fabric, which are subsequently coated with a noble metal, by means of a galvanic bath.  
     
     
         12 . A manufacturing method for a textile product particularly for the goldsmiths' and clothing sectors, comprising the following steps: 
 processing with textile machines of a base thread comprising a core of synthetic fiber and a coat of metal so as to obtain a textile product selected from the group consisting of a strand, a cord and a fabric, and    immersion of said textile product in a galvanic bath containing a noble metal, to coat said base threads with a layer of said noble metal so as to obtain a textile product containing a percentage in weight of noble metal with a carat weight ranging from 33% to 95%.    
     
     
         13 . A manufacturing method for a textile product, particularly for the goldsmiths' and clothing sectors, comprising the following steps: 
 immersion of base threads comprising a core of synthetic fiber and a coat of metal in a galvanic bath containing a noble metal so as to coat said base threads with a layer of noble metal, to obtain a precious thread of carat weight ranging from 33% to 95%, and    processing of said precious threads with textile machines so as to obtain a textile product selected from the group consisting of a strand, a cord and a fabric.    
     
     
         14 . A method according to  claim 12 , characterized in that said processing with textile machines is carried out by employing machines selected from the group consisting of machines for making strands, machines for making cords, machines for ribbons, knitting machines, right-angled looms, Rashel looms and looms for ladder-proof fabrics.  
     
     
         15 . A method according to  claim 13 , characterized in that said processing with textile machines is carried out by employing machines selected from the group consisting of machines for making strands, machines for making cords, machines for ribbons, knitting machines, right-angled looms, Rashel looms and looms for ladder-proof fabrics.
