Abstract

A method for manufacturing garment fabric F includes: a removal process S 1 of removing a first layer L 1 from a used garment fabric F having a multilayer structure with the first layer L 1 and a second layer L 2 , the second layer L 2 containing fibers; a defibrating process S 3 of defibrating the second layer L 2 using a dry method and of extracting the fibers; a mixing process S 4 of mixing the fibers with a treatment agent to form a mixture containing no coloring agents; a depositing process S 5 for creating a web W as a new second layer L 2 by depositing, in air, the mixture on an air-permeable fabric N 1 that becomes a new first layer L 1 ; and a forming process S 7 of forming by pressing and heating the fabric N 1 and the web W.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for producing garment fabric comprising:
 a removal process of removing a first layer from a used garment fabric having a multilayer structure including the first layer and a second layer, the second layer having fibers;   a defibrating process of defibrating the second layer using a dry method and of extracting the fibers;   a mixing process of mixing the fibers with a treatment agent to form a mixture containing no coloring agents;   a depositing process for creating a web as a new second layer by depositing, in air, the mixture on an air-permeable fabric that becomes a new first layer; and   a forming process of forming by pressing and heating the fabric and the web.   
     
     
         2 . The method for producing garment fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the fibers are composed of white fibers.   
     
     
         3 . The method for producing garment fabric according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 after the depositing process and before the forming process, an adhering process of adhering a fabric, which becomes a third layer, to the surface of the web.   
     
     
         4 . The method for producing garment fabric according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 before the depositing process, a coloring process of coloring the fabric to be the new first layer with a pigment ink.   
     
     
         5 . The method for producing garment fabric according to  claim 4 , further comprising:
 before the coloring process, a pretreatment process of performing pretreatment on the fabric that becomes the new first layer.
