Abstract
Abstract Specific zeolite particles retaining therein a metal ion having a bactericidal activity are packed and retained in a mixed fiber assembly composed of low-melting thermoplastic synthetic fibers and ordinary fibers. The zeolite particles are retained by welding of the low-temperature thermoplastic synthetic fibers but in a state of allowing the contact thereof with an external fluid. The particle-packed fiber article has an excellent and durable antibacterial activity and can be used in various fields.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A particle-packed fiber article having an anti-bacterial property comprising zeolitic particles retaining therein at least one metal ion having a bactericidal property and having a specific surface area of at least 150 m 2 /g and a SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 mol ratio of at most 14 and a mixed fiber assembly composed of a natural fiber staple or synthetic fiber staple and a fiber staple containing low-melting thermoplastic synthetic fibers having a melting point at least 30° C. lower than the melting point or the decomposition point of the aforesaid natural fiber staple or synthetic fiber staple, at least a part of the intersection points of the staple of said mixed fiber assembly being stuck to each other by the fusion of the low-melting thermoplastic synthetic fibers, whereby said zeolitic particles are incorporated and retained in the fiber assembly in the state of allowing the contact of the foregoing zeolitic particles with an external fluid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
A particle-packed fiber article having an anti-bacterial property comprising zeolitic particles retaining therein at least one metal ion having a bactericidal property and having a specific surface area of at least 150 m 2 /g and a SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 mol ratio of at most 14 and a mixed fiber assembly composed of a natural fiber staple or synthetic fiber staple and a fiber staple containing low-melting thermoplastic synthetic fibers having a melting point at least 30° C. lower than the melting point or the decomposition point of the aforesaid natural fiber staple or synthetic fiber staple, at least a part of the intersection points of the staple of said mixed fiber assembly being stuck to each other by the fusion of the low-melting thermoplastic synthetic fibers, whereby said zeolitic particles are incorporated and retained in the fiber assembly in the state of allowing the contact of the foregoing zeolitic particles with an external fluid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The particle-packed fiber article having an anti-bacterial property as claimed in claim 1 wherein the zeolitic particles are composed of A-type zeolite, X-type zeolite, mordenite, or a mixture thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
The particle-packed fiber article having an anti-bacterial property as claimed in claim 1 wherein the zeolitic solid particles retain at least one metal ion having a bactericidal activity selected from the group consisting of silver, copper, and zinc at the ion-exchangeable sites thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
The particle-packed fiber article having an anti-bacterial property as claimed in claim 1 wherein the amount of the zeolite solid particles packed in the mixed fiber assembly is in a range of 0.1 to 60% by weight (as anhydrous zeolite) to the fiber.
