A structured knitted fabric and method of producing it

Abstract

This document discloses a structured knitted fabric, and a method for producing it, composed of a single layer which is the result of the assembly of several components wherein the said fabric is essentially constituted of a knitted layer (2) machined on circular machines, a membrane (3) thermo-coupled to the internal surface of the knitted layer, and a fine knitted layer (4) joined to the membrane or knitted layer and a waterproofing treatment on the external surface. With the components, different fabrics can be obtained which are the result of different combinations, wherein a first fabricis composed of a knitted layer (2), a membrane (3), and a waterproofing treatment and, depending on the weight of the knitted layer, is suitable for all sports, from ski ing to cycling, while a secondfabric is made of a knitted layer (2), a fine knitted layer (4), and a waterproofing treatment, and is suitable for lightweight, breathable garments. Lastly, a third fabric consists of a knitted layer (2), a membrane (3), a fine knitted layer (4), and a waterproofing treatment, and is suitable for garments used in cold weather and for winter sports.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a structured knitted fabric and its production, particularly recommended for the production of garments for dynamic activities. Background technique [0002] It is well known that nowadays, the demand for clothing articles with more and more specialized and specific types of performance is driving researchers to develop more and more high-performance fabrics to meet specific requirements. [0003] In fact, such fabrics, known as engineered fabrics, are materials meeting high technical and quality requirements for the production of garments, including sportswear, with an excellent level of performance that meets the needs of their field of application, but It is also used in the production of many other everyday products. [0004] Specifically, in engineered fabric systems, a wide variety of textile fibers are used, e.g., natural, synthetic, man-made, inorganic, with synthetic fibers being increasingly used because of t...

Problems solved by technology

Due to this situation, technical clothing is particularly expensive due to the large number of steps that must be performed in its production

Also, the presence of different layers (each with its own task) means that the garment is not always comfortable to wear, as the garment is somewhat stiff and the wearer feels somewhat "bound"
