Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a new type of weft knitting elastic fabric that overcomes the limitations of current technology. The fabric is made of elastic wrapped yarns that have good elastic resilience, high elastic strength, and high recovery rate. When applied to clothing, the fabric improves elasticity, increases supporting effect, and meets requirements on flatness, close fit, and high level of wearing comfort. When applied to sportswear, the fabric makes sportsmen feel more comfortable and bring their physical ability into full play. The fabric is interlaced regularly by wrapped yarns through weft knitting machine, which provides great elastic resilience, high elastic strength, and is not prone to losing elasticity. The fabric is hard to be torn or burst by an external force, ensuring its durability. Overall, the present invention provides a new solution for creating elastic clothing and sportswear with improved elasticity and comfort."

Problems solved by technology

For example, weft knitting elastic fabric is essential accessories for underwear; side wings of the bra always utilize weft knitting elastic fabric to assist the cups in supporting the breasts and keeping them in position relative to the chest circumference; external layer of cups is made of elastic cloth which provides little strength and poor elastic resilience and is prone to losing elasticity and reducing elastic recovery.
Hence, the bra cups are likely to be loose and cannot play a role of supporting breasts and meet requirements on flatness, softness, smoothness, close fit, high level of wearing comfort, etc.
However, due to the loss of elasticity, conventional elastic fabrics may not fit and even badly affect the performance of the sportsmen.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]The following is a further description of the present invention with reference to the attached figures:

[0019]As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a new weft knitting elastic fabric 5 is a type of fabric interlaced regularly by wrapped yarn 1 and wrapped yarn 2 (or wrapped yarn 3 and wrapped yarn 4) through a weft knitting machine. Said fabric can be of a plain weave structure or pattern structure. The fabric is made of wrapped yarns and does not contain any other yarns. Said wrapped yarn refers to the spandex with its external surface wrapped with polyamide yarns or polyester silk by a wrapping machine. The Spandex material provides good elastic resilience and can recover its original shape after being stretched by 800%. In other words, the weft knitting elastic fabric of the present invention can be freely stretched but still closely cling to the surfaces of the human body after returning. It has little pressing force on the human body and can be easily elongated by 2 to 5 ...

Abstract

A weft knitting fabric with wrapped yarns as its raw material. The wrapped yarn refer to the spandex with its external layer wrapped with polyamide yarn or polyester silk. It provides smooth and soft hand feel, excellent extensibility and recovery performance, and high level of wearing comfort. If the new weft knitting elastic fabrics of the present invention is applied to model cups of bra, it will improve supporting strength of cups and keep breasts of females towering. If it is applied to sportswear, it will improve extensibility and comfort of sportswear.

Description

FILED OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the technical field of textile, more specifically, it relates to weft knitting elastic fabric.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Presently, weft knitting elastic fabric is widely used in the textile industry and daily life, specifically in the garment industry. For example, weft knitting elastic fabric is essential accessories for underwear; side wings of the bra always utilize weft knitting elastic fabric to assist the cups in supporting the breasts and keeping them in position relative to the chest circumference; external layer of cups is made of elastic cloth which provides little strength and poor elastic resilience and is prone to losing elasticity and reducing elastic recovery. Hence, the bra cups are likely to be loose and cannot play a role of supporting breasts and meet requirements on flatness, softness, smoothness, close fit, high level of wearing comfort, etc. Take sportswear as another example, in order to ensur...
