On the Crease Recovery of the Fabrics

I. The Trial Manufacture of the Crease Recovery Tester and its Results

Abstract

The crease recovery measurement was tried with many methods, but it is difficult problem because the crease have many factors. Recently, for the purpose of to know the crease recovery, the openning angle measurements were made on the folded double clothes after release of the weight. But also this method is complicated.Monsanto type crease recovery tester is better than the former method as it has a few affects of self-weight in test piece. Each, however, the making part of crease and the measuring part of crease angle, is not connected in this method. We must move manually a test piece by hands or a pinsette. We, therefore, improved K.S.crease recovery tester, one of the Monsanto type crease recovery tester, which had little manual effect, and measured the recovery angle by this simple method at natural state. Then several plain clothes were experimented with this improved tester, and considered mechanically about the results.
