Abstract

The disclosure discloses an elongated cloth medium to be recorded made with a satin weave that ranges from six-harness satin to ten-harness satin by using a warp in a medium longitudinal direction and a weft in a direction orthogonal to the medium longitudinal direction. The cloth medium includes one surface and another surface. The warp has a weaving density that ranges from 300 [yarns/inch] to 540 [yarns/inch]. The weft has a weaving density that ranges from 80 [yarns/inch] to 540 [yarns/inch]. The one surface is a surface with the warp more exposed than the weft in accordance with the satin weave. The cloth medium further includes on the one surface a print-receiving surface that calendering is executed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An elongated cloth medium to be recorded made with a satin weave that ranges from six-harness satin to ten-harness satin by using a warp made of heat-meltable fiber in a medium longitudinal direction and a weft made of heat-meltable fiber in a direction orthogonal to the medium longitudinal direction, the cloth medium comprising one surface and another surface,
said warp having a weaving density in a range from 300 [yarns/inch] to 540 [yarns/inch],
said weft having a weaving density in a range from 80 [yarns/inch] to 540 [yarns/inch],
said one surface having said warp is more exposed than said weft in accordance with said satin weave,
the cloth medium further comprising, on the one surface, a print-receiving surface on which calendering is executed by heating and pressing,
said print-receiving surface being configured such that printing is performed by heat transfer of ink from an ink ribbon receiving heat from a thermal head, and
the cloth medium further comprising two heat-cut parts that are cut by heating, one of the two heat-cut parts being disposed on a first edge portion of the medium in a medium width direction, and the other of the two heat-cut parts being disposed on a second edge portion of the medium in the medium width direction, wherein a roll of the cloth medium further comprises two flange parts that sandwich said heat-cut parts on both sides in the medium width direction.

2. The cloth medium according to claim 1 , wherein:
said warp has a thickness that ranges from 30 [denier] to 90 [denier], and
said weft has a thickness that ranges from 30 [denier] to 90 [denier].

3. An elongated recorded cloth medium made with a satin weave that ranges from six-harness satin to ten-harness satin by using a warp made of heat-meltable fiber in a medium longitudinal direction and a weft made of heat-meltable fiber in a direction orthogonal to the medium longitudinal direction,
the recorded cloth medium comprising:
one surface and another surface, said one surface having said warp being more exposed than said weft in accordance with said satin weave; and
a print-receiving surface that is disposed on the one surface and that calendering is executed by heating and pressing; and
said warp having a weaving density in a range from 300 [yarns/inch] to 540 [yarns/inch], and
said weft having a weaving density in a range from 80 [yarns/inch] to 540 [yarns/inch],
printing being performed on said print-receiving surface by heat transfer of ink from an ink ribbon receiving heat from a thermal head,
the cloth medium further comprising two heat-cut parts that are cut by heating, one of the two heat-cut parts being disposed on a first edge portion of the medium in a medium width direction, and the other of the two heat-cut parts being disposed on a second edge portion of the medium in the medium width direction, wherein a roll of the cloth medium further comprises two flange parts that sandwich said heat-cut parts on both sides in the medium width direction.

4. The recorded cloth medium according to claim 3 , further comprising
a part to be recorded disposed between said two heat-cut parts and includes a desired record formed.

5. A cloth medium cartridge comprising:
a roll of a cloth medium to be recorded that includes an outer periphery portion around which an elongated cloth medium for recording is wound; and
a supporting member that rotatably supports said roll,
said cloth medium being made with a satin weave that ranges from six-harness satin to ten-harness satin by using a warp in a medium longitudinal direction and a weft in a direction orthogonal to the medium longitudinal direction and comprising:
one surface;
another surface; and
two heat-cut parts that are cut by heating,

said warp having a weaving density in a range from 300 [yarns/inch] to 540 [yarns/inch],
said weft having a weaving density in a range from 80 [yarns/inch] to 540 [yarns/inch],
said one surface having said warp more exposed than said weft in accordance with said satin weave,
the cloth medium further comprising on the one surface a print-receiving surface that calendering is executed, and
the roll of the cloth medium to be recorded being wound such that said print-receiving surface is disposed on an outer peripheral side and said two heat-cut parts are respectively disposed on edge portions on the sides of the medium in a medium width direction.

6. The cloth medium cartridge according to claim 5 , wherein
said print-receiving surface is configured such that printing is performed by transfer of ink from an ink ribbon receiving heat from a thermal head.

7. The cloth medium cartridge according to claim 5 , wherein
the roll of the cloth medium further comprises two flange parts that sandwich said two heat-cuts parts on both sides in the medium width direction.
