Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a functional knitted fabric. Consists of This invention relates to curtains and blind curtains, and more specifically to functional knitted fabrics that can be given various functions. Consists of This relates to curtains and blind curtains. [Background technology]

[0002] There are two types of fabric: woven fabric, which is woven row by row using warp and weft threads with crossed threads, and knitted fabric, which is woven by creating a shape one stitch at a time in a manner that creates a knot (loop). Depending on their properties, fabrics are used in a wide range of fields. In recent years, efforts have been made to develop fabrics that take advantage of the unique properties of the material while also adding new functionality.

[0003] For example, a known insulating fabric is one which comprises a lower layer in which weft and warp threads made of a fiber yarn material including PET-DTY yarn or polyester yarn intersect at right angles, and an upper layer in which weft threads made of fiber yarn including PET-DTY yarn or polyester yarn and warp threads made of aluminum strip yarn intersect at right angles, and which is woven integrally onto the upper surface of the lower layer by a joining thread made of fiber yarn (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] Also, in a woven fabric containing an aluminum strip as raw silk, a breathable sunshade fabric is known in which the aluminum strip has a width of 0.7 mm or more and 1.3 mm or less and a thickness of 30 μm or more and 40 μm or less, and the weft yarn is 300 denier or more and 600 denier or less (for example, see Patent Document 2).

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Korean Patent No. 10-0930300 [Patent Document 2] Korean published utility model no. 20-2014-0000308 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Among fabrics, woven fabrics can be given thermal insulation and sunshade functions by using aluminum strips, as in the thermal insulation fabric described in Patent Document 1 and the sunshade fabric described in Patent Document 2. However, since it is a woven fabric, it has the disadvantages of being non-stretchable, having poor breathability, and being prone to wrinkling. On the other hand, when it comes to knitted fabrics, although functionality has been imparted to them, sufficient development has not been carried out.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and provides a functional knitted fabric. Consists of The object is to provide curtains and blind curtains. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The inventors conducted intensive research to solve the above-mentioned problems and discovered that the above-mentioned problems could be solved by inserting a strip of film between the continuous loops and restraining the strip of film with the first thread portion and the second thread portion, thereby completing the present invention.

[0009] The present invention relates to a functional knitted fabric, which is a knitted fabric having functionality. (curtain) The functional knitted fabric has a loop section in which multiple continuous loops are arranged side by side so that the continuous loops are parallel to each other, a strip-shaped film inserted between adjacent continuous loops, a first yarn section knitted into the continuous loops and located on one side of the loop section, and a second yarn section knitted into the continuous loops and located on the other side of the loop section, and the strip-shaped film is restrained by the first yarn section and the second yarn section.

[0010] In the functional knitted fabric of the present invention, it is preferable that the thickness of the strip film is 7 to 30 μm, the width of the strip film is 0.25 to 1.5 mm, and the strip film is inserted while the loop portion, the first yarn portion and the second yarn portion are continuously knitted by a warp knitting machine.

[0011] In the functional knitted fabric of the present invention, it is preferable that both sides of the belt-like film are abutted against adjacent continuous loops.

[0012] In the functional knitted fabric of the present invention, it is preferable that the first yarn constituting the first yarn portion is thicker than the second yarn constituting the second yarn portion, and that the first yarn portion side of the strip film is covered by the first yarn portion and a portion of the second yarn portion side is exposed. In addition, in the functional knitted fabric of the present invention, it is preferable that the first yarn constituting the first yarn portion is thicker than the second yarn constituting the second yarn portion, and that a pattern is drawn on the first yarn portion.

[0013] In the functional knitted fabric of the present invention, the belt-shaped film is preferably transparent or translucent. The belt-like film is preferably an aluminum-deposited film on which aluminum is vapor-deposited. In addition, the belt-shaped film is preferably a milky white film containing titanium oxide.

[0014] The present invention relates to a curtain made of the above-mentioned functional knitted fabric.

[0015] The present invention is a blind curtain comprising the above-mentioned functional knitted fabric and a mesh-like mesh knitted fabric, which are arranged alternately. In this case, it is preferable that the mesh fabric is knitted from a loop portion and a second yarn portion. Effect of the Invention

[0016] The functional knitted fabric of the present invention is a knitted fabric consisting of a loop portion, a strip-shaped film, a first yarn portion and a second yarn portion, and has the advantages of being more elastic and breathable than general woven fabrics and less prone to wrinkling. In addition, since the functional knitted fabric is not made of yarn alone but has a strip-like film inserted therein, it is possible to impart functions based on the strip-like film. Moreover, by processing the belt-shaped film, it is possible to impart various functions to the film.

[0017] For example, when the belt-shaped film is transparent or translucent, it can be used as a light-diffusing knitted fabric by imparting a light-diffusing function to the belt-shaped film. Furthermore, when the belt-shaped film is an aluminum-deposited film on which aluminum is vapor-deposited, it can be used as a heat-shielding knitted fabric or a UV-cutting knitted fabric. Furthermore, when the belt-shaped film is a milky white film containing titanium oxide, it can be used as a heat-shielding knitted fabric or a UV-cutting knitted fabric.

[0018] In the functional knitted fabric of the present invention, the belt-like film is restrained by the first yarn portion and the second yarn portion, so that only the belt-like film is in contact with the loop portion, etc. beside It is possible to prevent the alignment member from being displaced in the opposite direction. Furthermore, since the strip film is sandwiched between the first thread portion and the second thread portion, it is possible to prevent the strip film from rolling up to one side or to the other side.

[0019] In this case, by configuring both sides of the strip film to abut against the adjacent continuous loop, the surface direction of the functional knitted fabric and the surface direction of the strip film are aligned, making it possible to effectively exert the functions based on the strip film. In addition, since the strip-shaped films and the continuous loops are arranged alternately in a regular pattern, the design is excellent.

[0020] In the functional knitted fabric of the present invention, by setting the thickness and width of the strip film within the above ranges, it is possible to continuously knit the loop portion, the first yarn portion and the second yarn portion using a warp knitting machine while inserting the strip film. That is, it is possible to manufacture it at low cost. Furthermore, since the weight is not increased while the knitted fabric maintains its characteristics, the fabric is easy to handle.

[0021] In the functional knitted fabric of the present invention, by making the first yarn thicker than the second yarn, it is possible to make the first yarn portion side dense and the second yarn portion side sparse, even though they are knitted at the same time. By covering the first thread portion side of the strip-shaped film and leaving the second thread portion side exposed, it is possible to give the front and back sides different designs. For example, when used as a curtain, the exposed side (the second thread side) can be on the outside to provide functions such as reflecting sunlight, and the covered side (the first thread side) can be on the inside to allow the user to feel the unique softness and texture of the fabric.

[0022] In the functional knitted fabric of the present invention, by making the first yarn thicker than the second yarn, it is possible to make the first yarn portion side dense and the second yarn portion side sparse, even though they are knitted at the same time. Furthermore, by making the first thread part have a pattern drawn on it, for example, when used as a curtain, by placing the exposed side (the second thread part side) on the outside, it can perform functions such as reflecting sunlight, and by placing the patterned side (the first thread part side) on the inside, the pattern can be enjoyed.

[0023] The curtain of the present invention is made of a functional knitted fabric, and therefore has the advantages of being more stretchable and breathable than ordinary woven fabrics, and less prone to wrinkling. Furthermore, since a strip-shaped film is inserted into the functional knitted fabric, functions based on the strip-shaped film can be imparted to the functional knitted fabric.

[0024] The blind curtain of the present invention is provided with a functional knitted fabric, and therefore has the advantages of being more stretchable and breathable than general woven fabrics, and less prone to wrinkling. Like general knitted fabrics, the fabric can be washed at home and can also be ironed at low temperatures. Furthermore, since a strip-shaped film is inserted into the functional knitted fabric, functions based on the strip-shaped film can be imparted to the functional knitted fabric. For example, blind curtains are made up of alternating functional knitted fabrics and mesh knitted fabrics, and by sliding the blind curtains to switch the positions of the functional knitted fabrics and the mesh knitted fabrics, they can be used in two ways: when you want to let in sunlight, or when you want to use the functional knitted fabric to provide heat insulation, UV protection, etc. In addition, in the case of blind curtains, when the mesh fabric is knitted with the loop portion and the second yarn portion, the functional fabric and the mesh fabric can be knitted together at the same time, which means that they can be manufactured efficiently at low cost.

[0026] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings as necessary. In the drawings, the same elements are given the same reference numerals and duplicated explanations are omitted. In addition, unless otherwise specified, positional relationships such as up, down, left, right, etc. are based on the positional relationships shown in the drawings. Furthermore, the dimensional ratios of the drawings are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0027] (First embodiment) First, a first embodiment of the functional knitted fabric according to the present invention will be described. The functional knitted fabric according to the first embodiment is a sheet-like fabric, which is knitted with yarn with a predetermined strip-shaped film inserted. Therefore, it has the advantage of being more stretchable and breathable than general woven fabrics, and less prone to wrinkles. Here, the material of the yarn (including the first yarn and second yarn described below) used in the functional knitted fabric is not particularly limited, and may be natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, linen, wool, cashmere, silk, jute, etc., synthetic fibers such as polyester fibers, polyamide fibers, polyurethane fibers, polyacrylonitrile fibers, polyvinyl alcohol fibers, polyvinyl chloride fibers, polypropylene fibers, polyethylene fibers, polystyrene fibers, etc., or blended fibers made of these fibers, core-sheath fibers, etc. The yarns may be raw silk or processed yarns. From the viewpoints of strength and design, the first yarn is preferably processed yarn, and from the viewpoints of visibility and weight reduction of the strip film, the continuous loop yarn and the second yarn are preferably raw silk.

[0028] The functional knitted fabric is not only made of yarn but also has a belt-like film. As a result, the functional knitted fabric has a function based on the belt-like film. Moreover, in the functional knitted fabric 1, various functions can be imparted by processing the belt-shaped film. The details of the strip film will be described later.

[0029] FIG. 1(a) is a schematic plan view showing one side of a functional knitted fabric according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 1(b) is a schematic plan view showing the other side of the functional knitted fabric shown in FIG. 1(a). In the functional knitted fabric of FIG. 1, one side is the front side and the other side is the back side. As shown in Figure 1(a), the functional knitted fabric 1 has a first yarn portion 10 on one side in which a first yarn is densely knitted, and the first yarn portion 10 is in a state in which it covers a strip-shaped film 31. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 1(b), the functional knitted fabric 1 has a second yarn portion 20 on the other side in which the second yarn is sparsely knitted, and a portion of the strip film 31 is exposed.

[0030] In this way, in the functional knitted fabric 1, by making the knitting patterns of the first yarn portion 10 and the second yarn portion 20 different from each other, it is possible to impart different designs to the front and back. In other words, when used for interior decoration (windows), the more the functional film is exposed on the exterior surface of the window, the more functional it will be. In addition, the surface (mainly the interior side) can be changed to a plain look or a pattern look by controlling the movement of the first threads 10a. The first thread portion 10 and the second thread portion 20 will be described in detail later. Furthermore, since the functional knitted fabric 1 can have different designs on the front and back, it can be suitably used for applications such as clothing (including linings), bags, curtains, panel curtains, blind curtains, etc.

[0031] FIG. 2 is an enlarged schematic side view of a portion of the side surface of the functional knitted fabric shown in FIG. 1(a) as viewed from an arrow Y. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the functional knitted fabric 1 has a first yarn portion 10, a second yarn portion 20, and a base portion 30 sandwiched between the first yarn portion 10 and the second yarn portion 20. That is, in the functional knitted fabric 1, the belt-like film 31 included in the base portion 30 is restrained from both sides by the first yarn portion 10 and the second yarn portion 20. This makes it possible to prevent the strip film 31 from shifting vertically relative to the continuous loop 32 . In addition, the strip film 31 can be prevented from rolling up to one side or the other side.

[0032] FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view showing a part of the base part of the functional knitted fabric shown in FIG. 1(a). That is, in FIG. 3, the first thread portion 10 and the second thread portion 20 are omitted. As shown in FIG. 3, the base portion 30 is composed of a loop portion 32a in which a plurality of continuous loops 32 are arranged side by side, and a strip-shaped film 31 inserted between adjacent continuous loops 32. In this manner, in the base portion 30, the loop portions 32a and the strip-shaped films 31 are arranged alternately and are located on the same plane. Adjacent continuous loops 32 and strip-shaped film 31 are not directly connected to each other.

[0033] The continuous loops 32 are continuous in the vertical direction (warp direction), which is a so-called chain stitch structure. It should be noted that one continuous loop 32 is knitted using one yarn. The plurality of continuous loops 32 all have the same configuration. The loop portion 32a is formed by arranging a plurality of continuous loops 32 in parallel with each other at equal intervals. Adjacent continuous loops 32 are connected to each other via a first thread and a second thread.

[0034] The thickness of the yarn that constitutes the continuous loop 32 is preferably 30 to 100 dtex. The thickness of the thread is selected when planning the thickness of the fabric. If the thickness of the yarn constituting the continuous loop 32 is less than 30 dtex, the loop may be more susceptible to damage due to impact, etc., compared to when the thickness of the yarn is within the above range. On the other hand, if the thickness of the yarn constituting the continuous loop 32 exceeds 100 dtex, the yarn will not slide well (get caught) in relation to the strip film 31, making knitting more difficult, compared to when the thickness of the yarn is within the above range. Also, the proportion of the strip film 31 in the functional knitted fabric 1 will be small, which may prevent the function to be imparted from being fully exhibited.

[0035] The strip film 31 is a strip-shaped film, and is obtained, for example, by slitting a sheet-shaped film and cutting it into strips. Examples of materials that can be used for such films include ionomer films, polyethylene films, polyvinyl chloride films, polyvinylidene chloride films, polyvinyl alcohol films, polypropylene films, polyester films, polycarbonate films, polystyrene films, polyacrylonitrile films, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer films, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer films, ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer films, nylon films, and the like.

[0036] The strip-shaped film 31 is arranged so that both sides in the width direction (horizontal direction) perpendicular to the length direction (vertical direction) are in contact with the adjacent continuous loops 32. In other words, the film strip 31 and the continuous loop 32 are disposed so as not to create any gap between them along the length direction. As a result, the functional knitted fabric 1 becomes dense and has excellent strength, and since the strip-shaped films 31 and the continuous loops 32 are regularly and alternately arranged, it also has excellent design properties.

[0037] Moreover, the strip film 31 is arranged so as not to be twisted by itself. That is, the functional knitted fabric 1 and the belt-like film 31 are disposed so that their surface directions coincide with each other. This allows the functional knitted fabric 1 to effectively exhibit the functions based on the belt-shaped film 31.

[0038] The thickness of the strip film 31 is preferably 7 to 30 μm. If the thickness of the strip film 31 is less than 7 μm, it may be more likely to stretch and break depending on the material of the film, compared to a thickness within the above range. On the other hand, if the thickness of the strip film 31 exceeds 30 μm, it will be heavier and more rigid than when the thickness is within the above range, which has the disadvantage of losing the texture unique to knitted fabric.

[0039] The width of the strip film 31 is preferably 0.25 to 1.5 mm, and more preferably 0.5 to 1.1 mm. If the width of the strip film 31 is less than 0.25 mm, there is a drawback in that it is more easily twisted than when the width is within the above range. On the other hand, if the width of the strip film 31 exceeds 1.5 mm, the weight will be greater and more rigid than when the width is within the above range, resulting in the loss of the properties unique to knitted fabric.

[0040] In addition, in the functional knitted fabric 1, by setting the thickness of the strip film 31 within the above range and the width of the strip film 31 within the above range, simultaneous knitting on the warp knitting machine described below can be performed smoothly.

[0041] As described above, the strip film 31 can be given various functions by processing it. For example, the film strip 31 is preferably transparent or translucent. The transparent or translucent film may be produced by a known method. As long as the transparency or translucency can be maintained, the belt-shaped film 31 may be provided with antistatic, water-repellent, matte, UV-cut, flame-retardant, or other functional properties. If the strip film 31 is transparent or translucent, the light entering the strip film 31 will be scattered, and therefore the functional knitted fabric 1 can be used at least as a light diffusion knitted fabric that has the function of diffusing light.

[0042] The belt-shaped film 31 is preferably an aluminum-deposited film on which aluminum is deposited. The deposition of aluminum on a film may be carried out by a known method. If the strip film 31 is an aluminum vapor-deposited film, the aluminum vapor-deposited layer reflects heat, so the functional knitted fabric 1 can be used at least as a heat-shielding knitted fabric that suppresses the transfer of heat, or, since the aluminum vapor-deposited layer reflects sunlight, the functional knitted fabric 1 can be used as a UV-blocking knitted fabric that blocks UV rays. The belt-shaped film 31 may be vapor-deposited on only one side or on both sides. Alternatively, films having deposition on only one side may be laminated together with the deposition surfaces facing each other, in which case it is possible to prevent the deposition of aluminum from falling off.

[0043] Moreover, the belt-shaped film 31 is preferably a milky white film containing titanium oxide. Titanium oxide may be applied to the film by a known method such as coating. When the strip film 31 is a milky white film, since titanium oxide has the function of reflecting infrared rays, the functional knitted fabric 1 can be used at least as a heat-shielding knitted fabric that suppresses heat accumulation, or since titanium oxide has the function of physically reflecting UV rays, the functional knitted fabric 1 can be used as a UV-cutting knitted fabric that cuts UV rays. The strip film 31 may have titanium oxide applied to only one side or both sides. Alternatively, two films each having titanium oxide applied to only one side thereof may be laminated together, in which case the titanium oxide can be prevented from falling off.

[0044] Returning to Fig. 2, the first yarn portion 10 is knitted into continuous loops 32 so as to be located on one surface side of the loop portion 32a, whereby the continuous loops 32 are connected to each other on one surface side. The material of the first thread constituting the first thread portion 10 is as described above.

[0045] The thickness of the first yarn constituting the first yarn portion 10 is preferably 100 to 300 dtex. If the thickness of the first yarn constituting the first yarn portion 10 is less than 100 dtex, the pattern generated on the surface of the knitted fabric will lack volume and design, compared to when the thickness of the first yarn is within the above range. On the other hand, if the thickness of the first thread constituting the first thread portion 10 exceeds 300 dtex, there is a disadvantage that the volume becomes too large, the fabric becomes thicker, and the flexibility required for an interior product is lost, compared to when the thickness of the first thread is within the above range.

[0046] On the other hand, the second yarn portion 20 is knitted into continuous loops 32 so as to be located on the other surface side of the loop portion 32a, whereby the continuous loops 32 are connected to each other on the other surface side. The material of the second thread constituting the second thread portion 20 is as described above.

[0047] The thickness of the first yarn constituting the second yarn portion 20 is preferably 50 to 150 dtex. If the thickness of the second yarn constituting the second yarn portion 20 is less than 50 dtex, there is a disadvantage that the fabric balance with the first yarn portion 10 will be poorer than when the thickness of the second yarn is within the above range. Also, it may be easily damaged by impact or the like. On the other hand, if the thickness of the second yarn constituting the second yarn portion 20 exceeds 150 dtex, there is a drawback in that the effect of the belt-like film is hindered compared to when the thickness of the second yarn is within the above range. Another drawback is that the weight is large.

[0048] Here, in the functional knitted fabric 1, as described above, it is preferable that the first yarn constituting the first yarn portion is thicker than the second yarn constituting the second yarn portion. That is, it is more preferable that the first thread is thicker than the second thread, the thickness of the first thread is within the above range, and the thickness of the second thread is within the above range. In this case, the first thread portion side 10 can be made dense and the second thread portion side 20 can be made sparse. That is, even if the fabric (structure) is the same, the degree of exposure of the strip film 31 can be changed by changing the thickness of the thread. As a result, it is possible to create a difference in appearance of the functional knitted fabric 1 so that one side and the other side have completely different textures. From the viewpoint of design, 1 Thread the first 2 The first thread is thicker than the second thread. processing The first thread is the second thread. raw It is preferably in the form of yarn.

[0049] The functional knitted fabric 1 is a knitted product consisting of a loop portion 32a, a strip-shaped film 31, a first yarn portion 10, and a second yarn portion 20. Therefore, the functional knitted fabric 1 can be obtained by inserting the strip-shaped film 31 as a substitute for a so-called insertion yarn and knitting the loop portion 32a, the first yarn portion 10, and the second yarn portion 20 simultaneously. That is, it can be knitted continuously by a warp knitting machine. This allows for inexpensive production.

[0050] Figure 4 is a structure diagram of one side of a functional knitted fabric according to the first embodiment, showing how a first yarn is passed through continuous loops, and Figure 5 is a structure diagram of the other side of a functional knitted fabric according to the first embodiment, showing how a second yarn is passed through continuous loops. Specifically, in the functional knitted fabric 1, continuous loops 32 are knitted in each row, and a strip-shaped film 31 is inserted. At the same time, as shown in FIG. 4, the first thread 10a is passed through a predetermined loop, thereby forming the first thread portion 10. At the same time, as shown in FIG. 5, a second thread 20a is threaded through a predetermined loop to form a second thread portion 20. At this time, as described above, the first thread 10a is made thicker than the second thread 20a. processing Thread, as second thread 20a raw By using this yarn, a functional knitted fabric 1 with excellent design properties can be obtained.

[0051] Second embodiment Next, a second embodiment of the functional knitted fabric according to the present invention will be described. The functional knitted fabric according to the second embodiment is a sheet-like fabric, and is a knitted product knitted with yarn with a predetermined strip-like film inserted therein. The functional knitted fabric 1a according to the second embodiment is the same as the functional knitted fabric 1 according to the first embodiment, except that the shape of the first yarn portion 11 is different.

[0052] FIG. 6 is a schematic plan view showing one surface side of a functional knitted fabric according to a second embodiment. The other side of the functional knitted fabric according to the second embodiment is the same as the other side of the functional knitted fabric shown in FIG. 1(b), and therefore a description thereof will be omitted. As shown in FIG. 6, the functional knitted fabric 1a has a first yarn portion 11 knitted with a first yarn on one side, and the first yarn portion 11 has a pattern formed by the first yarn. Although a rose pattern is depicted in FIG. 6, the pattern is not limited to this. On the other hand, the functional knitted fabric 1a has a second yarn portion 20 on the other side in which the second yarn is sparsely knitted, and a portion of the strip film 31 is exposed (see Figure 1 (b)). Incidentally, in the first thread portion 11, it does not matter whether the strip-shaped film 31 is exposed or not. Even if the strip film 31 is exposed from the first thread portion 11 , the degree of exposure is less than the degree of exposure of the strip film 31 from the second thread portion 20 .

[0053] In this way, in the functional knitted fabric 1a, by making the knitting patterns of the first yarn portion 10 and the second yarn portion 20 different from each other, it is possible to impart different designs to the front and back. As described above, the other configurations are the same as those of the functional knitted fabric according to the first embodiment, and therefore will not be described.

[0054] Next, an embodiment of the curtain according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 7 is a schematic front view showing the curtain according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, a curtain 4 is made of a functional knitted fabric 1 suspended from a curtain rail. In this way, the curtain 4 is made of the functional knitted fabric 1, and therefore has the advantages of being more stretchable and breathable than general woven fabrics, and less prone to wrinkling. Furthermore, since a strip-shaped film is inserted into the functional knitted fabric, functions based on the strip-shaped film can be imparted to the functional knitted fabric.

[0055] Specifically, in the curtain 4, the exposed side (the second thread portion side) of the strip film 31 is on the outside, thereby providing functions such as reflecting sunlight, and by having the covered side (the first thread portion side) on the inside, the unique softness and texture of the fabric can be felt. Incidentally, if the functional knitted fabric 1a of the second embodiment is used as a curtain 4 instead of the functional knitted fabric 1 of the first embodiment, the exposed side (second thread part side) of the strip film 31 will be on the outside, thereby fulfilling functions such as reflecting sunlight, and the patterned side (first thread part side) will be on the inside, allowing the pattern to be enjoyed.

[0056] Next, an embodiment of a blind curtain according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 8 is a schematic front view showing the blind curtain according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, the blind curtain 3 includes the above-mentioned functional knitted fabric 1 and a mesh-like mesh knitted fabric 2 suspended from a curtain rail, which are arranged alternately. Moreover, the functional knitted fabric 1 and the mesh knitted fabric 2 are integrated together. The blind curtain 3 is provided with a functional knitted fabric, and therefore has the advantages of being more stretchable and breathable than general woven fabrics, and less prone to wrinkling. Furthermore, since a strip-shaped film is inserted into the functional knitted fabric, functions based on the strip-shaped film can be imparted to the functional knitted fabric.

[0057] Specifically, in the blind curtain 3, the mesh fabrics 2 are overlapped with each other so that light can enter through the mesh fabric 2, and by sliding the functional fabric 1 and the mesh fabric 2 to overlap each other, the intrusion of light can be suppressed. In this case, since the blind curtain 3 is provided with the above-mentioned functional knitted fabric 1, it is possible to allow the blind curtain 3 to exhibit its functions of heat insulation, UV protection, etc. over the entire surface or part of the blind curtain 3.
