Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a stretchable warp-knitted fabric that is made by running a non-elastic yarn and an elastic yarn side by side in a 1×1 tricot pattern. The fabric has closed loops formed by at least one of the non-elastic yarn and the elastic yarn in each stitch. The fabric can be used to make stretchable clothing. The method for manufacturing the fabric involves inlaying elastic yarn to both edging yarns and pulling out the drawing yarn after knitting to create separate parts. The technical effect of this invention is a fabric that can stretch without losing its shape or durability.

Problems solved by technology

This operation causes a considerable burden in sewing of clothing.
Furthermore, a hemline of underwear is seen in a convex shape through outerwear, which impairs wearing comfort.
However, the above-mentioned knitted fabric has a disadvantage of poor stretchability.
Therefore, there is a disadvantage that so-called pinholes may be generated.
Furthermore, an elastic yarn is exposed to the surface side, which causes dye irregularity.
On the other hand, a 1×1 tricot texture (which also is called a single tricot or a single denbigh) knitted by using a non-elastic yarn with one guide bar has aligned knitted loops and thin; however, the knitted loops are likely to be frayed and lack stability (loop-drop is likely to occur).

example 1

[0069] A 1×1 tricot was knitted by using a micro full-dull nylon yarn with a fineness of 44 dtex / 34 filaments as a non-elastic yarn and a polyurethane transparent yarn (bright yarn) having a fineness of 44 dtex as an elastic yarn with two guide bars and allowing them to run side by side, in such a manner that both the yarns formed closed loops as shown in FIG. 2, by using a raschel knitting machine for a knitting width of 130 inches (330.2 cm). The total number of yarns was set to be 3600, so that a finished width of knitted fabric was set to be 130 cm (about 70 wales / inch) in the present example, although the finished width of the knitted fabric usually was supposed to be about 160 cm, whereby a knitted texture with a high density was obtained with a smallest possible width. Furthermore, the runner of the nylon yarn was set to be 100 cm / rack in the present example, although it was supposed to be set at 80 cm / rack or less in typical knitted fabric. The runner of the polyurethane yar...

example 2

[0070] A 1×1 tricot was knitted by using the same nylon yarn as that used in Example 1 as a non-elastic yarn and a polyurethane transparent yarn with a fineness of 78 dtex as an elastic yarn with two guide bars and allowing them to run side by side, in such a manner that a non-elastic yarn 1 formed closed loops and an elastic yarn 2 formed open loops as shown in FIG. 3, by using the same knitting machine as that used in Example 1, and finished with the same narrow width as that in Example 1. Furthermore, the runner of the nylon yarn was set to be 110 cm / rack in the present example, although it was supposed to be set at 80 cm / rack or less in ordinary knitted fabric. The runner of the polyurethane yarn was set to be 100 cm / rack, although it was supposed to be set at 80 cm / rack or less in ordinary knitted fabric. The knitted fabric thus formed was subjected to heat set in the same way as in Example 1. The outer appearance of the resultant knitted fabric was well arranged and very attra...

example 3

[0071] A 1×1 tricot was knitted by using a nylon yarn of 33 dtex as a non-elastic yarn and a polyurethane transparent yarn with a fineness of 44 dtex as an elastic yarn with two guide bars and allowing them to run side by side, in such a manner each yarn formed open loops and dosed loops alternately, and in each stitch, an elastic yarn 2 formed a closed loop with respect to an open loop formed by a non-elastic yarn 1, and similarly, the elastic yarn 2 formed an open loop with respect to a dosed loop formed by the non-elastic yarn 1 as shown in FIG. 4, by using the same knitting machine as used in Example 1, and finished with a narrow width of 130 cm. Furthermore, the runner of the nylon yarn was set to be 110 cm / rack, although it was supposed to be set at 80 cm / rack or less in ordinary knitted fabric. The runner of the polyurethane yarn was set to be 95 cm / rack, although it was supposed to be set at 60 cm / rack or less in ordinary knitted fabric. The knitted fabric thus formed was su...

Abstract

The present invention provides stretchable warp-knitted fabric that is a 1×1 tricot formed by running a non-elastic yarn and an elastic yarn side by side in such a manner that in each stitch, at least one of the non-elastic yarn and the elastic yarn forms a closed loop, a method for manufacturing the fabric, and stretchable clothing using the fabric at least in a part. Since a cut edge of the knitted fabric can be used as a hem of the clothing without finishing, sewing is simplified. It is possible to provide fashionable clothing that has appropriate stretchability enabling the clothing to well fit the body of the wearer, that is thin and has a beautiful texture, and that, when it is formed in underwear, has a hem line invisible through outerwear.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to stretchable warp-knitted fabric that is thin and has beautiful knitted loops and large stretchability, formed by using a non-elastic yarn and an elastic yarn, a method for manufacturing the fabric, and clothing manufactured by using the fabric. Furthermore, in particular, the clothing of the present invention relates to novel stretchable clothing that has appropriate stretchability, an excellent fashion property, and the like, and is formed particularly with a cut edge intact. BACKGROUND ART [0002] With the increasing progress in the diversification and tendency toward fashion of clothing, in particular, clothing for women, a variety of knitted fabrics have been invented one after another, and put into practical use, which enriches life. The diversification and tendency toward fashion of clothing for women have progressed more and more with the times. Above all, there is a great demand for fashionable foundation clothing that h...
