AI Technical Summary
Existing shapewear fabrics tend to slip when worn, resulting in low friction between the fabric and the skin, making it difficult to effectively bind and stabilize fat.
Using warp-knitted fabric, multiple warp threads arranged along the weft direction are set in the fabric, including a first warp and a second warp. The first warp extends in a straight line along the warp direction, and the second warp extends continuously in a bent manner along the warp and weft surface and is connected by the first yarn to form an irregular concave and convex texture structure, which increases the friction between the fabric and the skin.
It effectively reduces fabric slippage and fat movement, increases the friction between the fabric and the skin, and enhances the binding and stabilizing effect on fat.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of textile fabric technology, specifically to a shapewear fabric and shapewear. Background Technology
[0002] Current shaping garments often use warp-knitted overlock fabric. Warp knitting is a textile technique belonging to the knitting field. It involves using one or more sets of parallel yarns fed into all the working needles of a machine in the warp direction to simultaneously form loops, creating a knitted fabric called a warp-knitted fabric.
[0003] Common warp-knitted fabrics used in shapewear include Figure 6 As shown, the spandex yarns in the warp direction are woven in parallel, and adjacent spandex yarns are connected together in the weft direction at the midpoint by nylon yarns. The small gaps between the spandex yarns in this type of warp-knitted fabric and their uniformity along the warp direction result in a regular and smooth texture on the reverse side of the fabric, leading to less friction against the skin. When wearing shapewear made from this fabric, fabric slippage often occurs. This slippage prevents the fabric from effectively securing and locking in fat, thus failing to achieve the desired "binding" and fat-stabilizing effect. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to design a shapewear fabric and shapewear to solve the problem of fabric slippage.
[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This invention provides a shapewear fabric, which is a warp-knitted fabric and includes functional areas;
[0007] The functional area includes multiple meridians arranged sequentially along the latitudinal direction; the meridians include a first meridian and a second meridian; the first meridian extends in a straight line along the longitudinal direction; at least one second meridian is provided between two adjacent first meridians, and the second meridian extends continuously in a curved manner along the longitudinal direction on the latitude and longitude plane;
[0008] The functional area also includes a first yarn with a diameter smaller than the warp yarn; two adjacent warp yarns are connected by a plurality of the first yarns.
[0009] When the above-mentioned structure is adopted, the shapewear fabric is woven with two warp threads and a first yarn with different directions within its functional area, changing the traditional warp-knitted fabric structure. The first warp thread runs in a straight line, while the second warp thread runs in a continuously bent direction. This causes the gap between adjacent warp threads with inconsistent directions to vary along the warp direction, creating a special, relatively irregular concave-convex texture structure in the shapewear fabric. This texture structure can increase the friction between the fabric and the skin, thereby reducing fabric shifting and fat movement during wear. At the same time, the variation in the gap between adjacent warp threads causes the groove structure formed to change in size accordingly, which can improve the binding effect with fat, thus achieving a better effect of restraining the body and stabilizing fat.
[0010] To further improve the implementation of the present invention, the following configuration structure is adopted: the functional area further includes a second yarn, and the second yarn is wound around the first warp and the second warp.
[0011] When the above-mentioned structure is adopted, a second yarn is wound along the axis on the first and second warps to form a composite yarn, which can increase the strength of the first and second warps.
[0012] To further improve the present invention, the following structure is adopted: all the first yarns form the face fabric connecting layer of the shapewear fabric, and all the warp yarns form the bottom layer of the shapewear fabric.
[0013] When the above-mentioned structure is adopted, the first yarn weaves all the warp threads together and at the same time becomes the face connecting layer as the surface layer of the shapewear fabric, so that the groove depth between adjacent warp threads can be maximized, forming a distinct concave-convex structure on the reverse side of the shapewear fabric, which can increase the friction between the fabric and the skin surface and the fixation effect on fat.
[0014] To further improve the implementation of this invention, the following configuration structure is adopted: the first warp and the second warp are made of spandex yarn, and the first yarn and the second yarn are made of nylon yarn.
[0015] To further improve the implementation of this invention, the following configuration structure is adopted: two second meridians are arranged between two adjacent first meridians.
[0016] To further improve the implementation of this invention, the following configuration is adopted: the two second meridians positioned between two adjacent first meridians have the same orientation.
[0017] To further improve the implementation of the present invention, the following configuration is specifically adopted: the direction of the second meridian located on the latitudinal side of the first meridian is opposite to the direction of the second meridian located on the other latitudinal side.
[0018] To further improve the implementation of this invention, the following structure is specifically adopted: the edge of the functional area in the weft direction is connected to a selvage area.
[0019] To further improve the implementation of this invention, the following structure is specifically adopted: the selvage area is configured as a planar warp-knitted structure or a jacquard patterned woven structure.
[0020] The present invention also provides a shapewear garment, comprising the shapewear fabric described above.
[0021] The present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0022] In this invention, the shapewear fabric is woven using two warp threads with different orientations and a first yarn within its functional area, altering the traditional warp-knitted fabric structure. The first warp thread runs in a straight line, while the second warp thread continuously bends, causing the gap between adjacent warp threads with inconsistent orientations to vary along the warp direction. This creates a unique, somewhat irregular, textured surface in the shapewear fabric. This textured structure increases friction between the fabric and the skin, thereby reducing fabric shifting and fat movement during wear. Simultaneously, the varying gaps between adjacent warp threads cause the resulting grooves to change size, improving the binding effect with fat and achieving better body restraint and fat stabilization.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0037] Example 1:
[0038] A type of shapewear fabric, by altering the weaving structure of warp-knitted fabric, creates distinct concave-convex surfaces between the warp threads on the reverse side of the fabric, forming a unique texture. This increases the friction between the fabric and the skin surface, reducing fabric shifting and fat movement during shapewear wear. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, it is specifically configured with the following structure:
[0039] This type of shapewear fabric is a single-layer warp-knitted fabric, consisting of warp threads and a first yarn that connects the warp threads together in the weft direction. This shapewear fabric is primarily used in the production of shapewear, but it can also be used for other purposes.
[0040] This type of shapewear fabric includes functional area 01, which provides a special texture structure to increase the friction between the fabric and the skin surface, reducing fabric shifting and fat movement when wearing the shapewear.
[0041] Functional area 01 includes multiple warp lines arranged sequentially along the latitudinal direction. Among them, the warp lines include the first warp line 11 and the second warp line 12. Both the first warp line 11 and the second warp line 12 are made of spandex, but they have different orientations. The first warp line 11 extends in a straight line along the warp direction, while the second warp line 12 extends continuously in a curved manner along the warp direction on the warp and weft plane. That is, the second warp line 12 bends back and forth in the latitudinal direction, forming an S-shaped trend.
[0042] Functional area 01 also includes a first yarn 13 with a diameter smaller than the warp yarn. The first yarn 13 is made of nylon and serves to connect the warp yarns. The first yarn 13 is made of... Figure 5 The method shown connects two adjacent warp threads, and then connects all the warp threads together to form a fabric. Figure 5 In this structure, the first yarn 13 is located between two adjacent warp threads. One end of the first yarn 13 loops around one side of the warp thread and then extends to the other side, looping around again. This process is repeated, extending along the warp direction to connect the two adjacent warp threads. There can be two or more first yarns 13 connecting the two adjacent warp threads. Different first yarns 13 interlock and cross to form a connecting layer.
[0043] Multiple first warp threads 11 and multiple second warp threads 12 are provided, with at least one second warp thread 12 between any two adjacent first warp threads 11. Gaps are formed between adjacent warp threads, creating a groove structure on the shapewear fabric with a connecting layer as the bottom. This groove structure is used to trap and stabilize fat. Laterally along the weft direction of the first warp threads 11, a structure combining one first warp thread 11 and one second warp thread 12 is formed. In this form, because the first warp threads 11 and the second warp threads 12 have different orientations, a groove with a width that continuously varies along the warp direction is formed.
[0044] In this embodiment, the shapewear fabric is woven within functional area 01 using two different warp threads and a first yarn 13, altering the traditional warp-knitted fabric structure. This results in the gaps between adjacent warp threads no longer being uniform. The first warp thread 11 runs in a straight line, while the second warp thread 12 continuously bends, causing the gaps between adjacent warp threads with inconsistent directions to vary along the warp direction. This creates a unique, somewhat irregular, textured surface in the shapewear fabric. This textured structure increases friction between the fabric and the skin, thereby reducing fabric shifting and fat movement during wear. Simultaneously, the varying gaps between adjacent warp threads cause the grooves formed between them to change size, making the groove structure more complex and improving the binding effect with fat, thus achieving better restraint and fat stabilization.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, within the functional area 01 of the shapewear fabric, two second warp threads 12 are provided between each pair of adjacent first warp threads 11. Simultaneously, as... Figure 2 As shown, the two second meridians set between two adjacent first meridians 11 have the same direction, that is, the two second meridians bend towards one side or the other side of the latitudinal direction at the same time.
[0046] As the best implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown. Within the functional area 01 of the shapewear fabric, two second warp threads 12 are provided between each pair of adjacent first warp threads 11. Meanwhile, as... Figure 2 As shown, the two second meridians set between two adjacent first meridians 11 have the same direction, that is, the two second meridians bend towards one side or the other side of the latitudinal direction at the same time; at the same time, the direction of the second meridian 12 located on the latitudinal side of the first meridian 11 is opposite to that of the second meridian 12 located on the other side of the latitudinal direction, that is, the direction of the second meridians 12 located on different sides of the latitudinal direction of the first meridian 11 is such that one bends towards the latitudinal direction and the other bends towards the other side of the latitudinal direction.
[0047] Example 2:
[0048] This embodiment is a further optimization based on the above embodiments. To better realize the present invention, the following configuration structure is specifically adopted:
[0049] In this embodiment, the shapewear fabric is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, all the first yarns 13 form the face fabric connecting layer 011 of the shapewear fabric, that is, the first yarns 13 are woven on the surface of the warp yarns, making the fabric surface flat, smooth and glossy. The warp yarns become the bottom layer 012 of the shapewear fabric, so that the warp yarns form raised lines on the reverse side of the face fabric connecting layer 011.
[0050] In this embodiment, the first yarn 13 weaves all the warp yarns together to form a spandex yarn group, and at the same time becomes the face fabric connecting layer 011 as the surface layer of the shapewear fabric, making the fabric surface smooth and glossy. This maximizes the depth of the grooves between adjacent warp yarns, forming a very obvious concave-convex structure on the reverse side of the shapewear fabric, which can increase the friction between the fabric and the skin surface and the fixing effect on fat, thereby achieving a better effect of restraining the human body and stabilizing fat.
[0051] Example 3:
[0052] This embodiment is a further optimization based on the above embodiments. To better realize the present invention, the following configuration structure is specifically adopted:
[0053] In this embodiment, the functional area 01 of the shapewear fabric also includes multiple second yarns 14. The second yarns 14 are made of nylon. The second yarns 14 are wound around the first warp 11 and the second warp 12, wherein the second yarns 14 are wound along the axis of the first warp 11 or the second warp 12.
[0054] A second yarn 14 is wound around the first warp 11 and the second warp 12 along the axis to form a composite ply, which can increase the strength of the first warp 11 and the second warp 12. The first warp 11 and the second warp 12 with the second yarn 14 wound around them serve as the bottom friction layer of the shapewear fabric, working in conjunction with the outer fabric connecting layer 011 to give the reverse side of the fabric a more obvious textured surface, further improving the friction between the fabric and the skin.
[0055] Example 4:
[0056] This embodiment is a further optimization based on the above embodiments. To better realize the present invention, the following configuration structure is specifically adopted:
[0057] In this embodiment, in addition to the functional area 01, the shapewear fabric also has a selvage area 02 connected to one or both edges of the functional area 01 in the weft direction for hemming. The selvage area 02 is woven from a first warp 11 extending in a straight line along the warp direction. The first warp 11 of the selvage area 02 is connected by a first yarn 13. At the same time, a second yarn 14 is also wound on the first warp 11 of the selvage area 02.
[0058] Except for the edge area 02 Figure 1 In addition to the planar warp-knitted structure shown, it can also be set as a jacquard patterned structure, wherein the jacquard pattern style is not limited.
[0059] Example 5:
[0060] This embodiment provides a shapewear garment, which specifically employs the following structural design:
[0061] This type of shapewear is made from shapewear fabric.
[0062] This type of shapewear fabric is a single-layer warp-knitted fabric, consisting of warp threads and a first yarn that connects the warp threads together in the weft direction. This shapewear fabric is primarily used in the production of shapewear, but it can also be used for other purposes.
[0063] This type of shapewear fabric includes functional area 01, which provides a special texture structure to increase the friction between the fabric and the skin surface, reducing fabric shifting and fat movement when wearing the shapewear.
[0064] Functional area 01 includes multiple warp lines arranged sequentially along the latitudinal direction. Among them, the warp lines include the first warp line 11 and the second warp line 12. Both the first warp line 11 and the second warp line 12 are made of spandex, but they have different orientations. The first warp line 11 extends in a straight line along the warp direction, while the second warp line 12 extends continuously in a curved manner along the warp direction on the warp and weft plane. That is, the second warp line 12 bends back and forth in the latitudinal direction, forming an S-shaped trend.
[0065] Functional area 01 also includes a first yarn 13 with a diameter smaller than the warp yarn. The first yarn 13 is made of nylon and serves to connect the warp yarns. The first yarn 13 is made of... Figure 5 The method shown connects two adjacent warp threads, and then connects all the warp threads together to form a fabric. Figure 5 In this structure, the first yarn 13 is located between two adjacent warp threads. One end of the first yarn 13 loops around one side of the warp thread and then extends to the other side, looping around again. This process is repeated, extending along the warp direction to connect the two adjacent warp threads. There can be two or more first yarns 13 connecting the two adjacent warp threads. Different first yarns 13 interlock and cross to form a connecting layer.
[0066] Multiple first warp threads 11 and multiple second warp threads 12 are provided, with at least one second warp thread 12 between any two adjacent first warp threads 11. Gaps are formed between adjacent warp threads, creating a groove structure on the shapewear fabric with a connecting layer as the bottom. This groove structure is used to trap and stabilize fat. Laterally along the weft direction of the first warp threads 11, a structure combining one first warp thread 11 and one second warp thread 12 is formed. In this form, because the first warp threads 11 and the second warp threads 12 have different orientations, a groove with a width that continuously varies along the warp direction is formed.
[0067] Within the functional area 01 of the shapewear fabric, two second warp threads 12 are positioned between each pair of adjacent first warp threads 11. Simultaneously, as... Figure 2As shown, the two second meridians set between two adjacent first meridians 11 have the same direction, that is, the two second meridians bend towards one side or the other side of the latitudinal direction at the same time; at the same time, the direction of the second meridian 12 located on the latitudinal side of the first meridian 11 is opposite to that of the second meridian 12 located on the other side of the latitudinal direction, that is, the direction of the second meridians 12 located on different sides of the latitudinal direction of the first meridian 11 is such that one bends towards the latitudinal direction and the other bends towards the other side of the latitudinal direction.
[0068] This type of shapewear fabric is like Figure 3 As shown, all the first yarns 13 form the face fabric connecting layer 011 of the shapewear fabric, that is, the first yarns 13 are woven on the surface of the warp yarns, making the fabric surface flat, smooth and glossy. The warp yarns become the bottom layer 012 of the shapewear fabric, so that the warp yarns form raised lines on the reverse side of the face fabric connecting layer 011.
[0069] The functional area 01 of this type of shapewear fabric also includes multiple second yarns 14. The second yarns 14 are made of nylon. The second yarns 14 are wound around the first warp 11 and the second warp 12, wherein the second yarns 14 are wound along the axis of the first warp 11 or the second warp 12.
[0070] In addition to functional area 01, this type of shapewear fabric also has selvage area 02 connected to one or both edges of functional area 01 in the weft direction. Selvage area 02 is woven from a first warp 11 extending in a straight line along the warp direction. The first warp 11 of selvage area 02 is connected by a first yarn 13. At the same time, a second yarn 14 is also wound on the first warp 11 of selvage area 02.
[0071] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
