Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention provides a method for fabricating a woven fabric comprising a course of spandex covered with hard yarns and a course of plating with hard yarns. A modified full course style having a bare spandex course and The present invention relates to the prepared fabrics and their use in the manufacture of elastic knitted garments. [Background technology]

[0002] The two traditional options for incorporating spandex into garments such as hosiery are The full course style as shown in Figure 1A and the alternating course style as shown in Figure 1B. When spandex fibers are coated with polyamide, for example, may be present or bare, and may be in the full course as shown in Fig. 1A, or in the It is knitted in alternating courses as shown in 1B.

[0003] Garments such as full course panty hose (ECPH) contain balanced stitching. Spandex is typically provided in higher quality garments. ECPH provides a balanced, smooth appearance and uniform freedom of movement. However, ECPH can be difficult to knit because the quality of the yarn is important. Therefore, the manufacturing costs of ECPH are high. Furthermore, due to the high shrinkage of elastane, Before being installed, ECPH appears opaque and small in size.

[0004] Spandex garments prepared from conventional full course styles such as ECPH are known and is manufactured primarily for its superior comfort, stretch, and uniformity. However, some knitwear manufacturers and retailers have reported issues with the twisting of polyamides, which can cause problems with garments. Most of the shine is eliminated, so it is better to use a typical ECPH construction with covered yarns. The court argued that the patent could not be used to create "shiny" or "glossy" lightweight garments. is doing.

[0005] Negative aspects, including but not limited to feel, fragility, and lackluster appearance, are covered. A thin, lightweight ECP prepared via a bare knit fabrication technique without using any yarn components. Making H undesirable.

[0006] Thus, if a shiny hosiery garment is desired, the shine effect is typically achieved by alternating This is given by using polyamide with high brightness in the course (AC) structure. Most of the elasticity comes from the non-elastic course. Alternating Course Panty Hose (ACPH) Which garments are typically made of flat, with courses of spandex that are covered with polyamide with courses of spandex covered with plain or textured polyamide Alternating courses containing polyamide often result in longer stitches. ACPH can increase the flexibility of polyamides and therefore This can reduce the cost of ACPH. In addition, ACPH has a high shine or gloss. However, lightweight ACPH garments are not typical of known industry techniques. Generally speaking, it is less comfortable, has less uniformity between rows, and is impossible to resist power lines.

[0007] Comfort, shine, flexibility and / or electrical resistance when using polyamide or other hard yarns There is a need for lower cost hosiery garments with improved performance. Summary of the Invention

[Brief description of the drawings]

[0016] [Figure 1] FIG. 1A compares a typical full course pantyhose construction (FIG. 1B), a typical alternating course pantyhose construction (FIG. 1B), and a modified full course style of the present invention that includes every other course of spandex that is covered with polyamide and bare spandex that is plated with polyamide (FIG. 1C). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] Provided by the present disclosure is a fabric that includes a course of spandex covered with hard yarns; and a course of bare spandex plated with hard yarn. Fabrics prepared from full-course styles, elastic knit garments prepared from these fabrics, etc. and compared with fabrics prepared from conventional full course and / or alternating course styles. Improved comfort, increased gloss, and / or some implementations at lower cost. In one embodiment, it is a method for producing an elastic knit garment having increased electrical wire resistance.

[0018] As used herein, the term "spandex" refers to elastane and / or lathane. This also means that salmon roe is included.

[0019] For purposes of this disclosure, improved gloss and / or wire resistance, and / or cost The "conventional all-course style" to which this model is being compared is a tread pattern in which all courses are covered with polyamide. "Spandex" refers to fabrics woven from spandex.

[0020] For the purposes of this disclosure, the “conventional interchange” is compared to the improvements in comfort and / or electrical resistance. "Alternate course style" refers to polyamide covered spandex or polyamide A course of bare spandex plated with a polyamide only course It refers to a fabric in which every other course is woven with a .

[0021] For purposes of this disclosure, "plating" or "plated" means , the hard yarns and bare spandex yarns are maintained in parallel side-by-side relationship throughout the knit; The two yarns are controlled so that the spandex material always remains on one side of the hard yarn. It means the relationship between.

[0022] All courses are elasticized, so that all of its technical aspects are in terms of comfort and elasticity. Since the fabric of the present disclosure is an ECPH with all the advantages of a modified full course style, It is prepared.

[0023] One of the elastic courses of the fabric of the present disclosure comprises spandex covered with hard yarns. Covered spandex may be single covered, double covered, or air-jet covered. An important advantage of using covered yarn in the fabric of the present disclosure is that it has limited However, compared to plastic, it is covered with spandex and does not come into direct contact with the skin. It has a more natural soft feel compared to the smooth feel of spandex and bare spandex. One of the advantages of using RSA is the reduction in vulnerability compared to RSA Dex.

[0024] Other elastic courses of the fabric of the present disclosure are bare spandex plated with hard yarns. Any spandex suitable for the fabrics of the present disclosure may be used in one non-limiting embodiment. The spandex may be fusible.

[0025] Any hard yarn can be used in the present invention. Non-limiting examples include polyamide, ... In one non-limiting embodiment, the hard yarn may comprise: As will be understood by those of skill in the art upon reading this disclosure, any The polyamides may be used, the selection of which is not limited to, but includes, but is not limited to, the high brightness of the resulting fabric. The desired characteristics will include thickness, loft, uniformity, and gloss.

[0026] By including uncovered, yet still elastic courses in the fabric of the present disclosure, the shine Since there is no turn that inhibits the yarn, it is possible to make hard yarns such as polyamide shine. Thus, the fabric of the present disclosure has a high luster compared to typical ECPH. The disadvantage of using bare spandex in some areas is that the coating on other areas is The coating is lightened by the coating, thereby providing a shiny, wire-resistant garment.

[0027] Various repeat patterns of the two elastic courses may be used in the fabrics of the present disclosure, The choice of may depend on the garment and / or knit pattern in which the fabric will be used.

[0028] For example, FIG. 1C shows a course of spandex covered with hard yarns, followed by a course of hard yarns. A repeat putter including a course of bare spandex plated with textured yarn. This indicates that

[0029] In an alternative non-limiting embodiment, the fabric may be a single layer of spandex covered with hard yarns. First course, followed by two of bare spandex plated with hard yarn. The course may be knitted in a repeating pattern including the above courses.

[0030] In an alternative non-limiting embodiment, the fabric may be a 200% polyester fiber woven fabric of spandex covered with hard yarns. One or more courses of bare spandex plated with hard yarns followed by The yarn may be knit in a repeating pattern comprising a single course and ....

[0031] In hosiery, typically the number of feeds in the individual courses is four, all of which have the same But it may be different.

[0032] However, seamless knitting typically has 8 feeds, whereas circular knitting has 32 or more. The top feed is used.

[0033] As will be appreciated by those of skill in the art upon reading this disclosure, these patterns Any of these, as well as alternating patterns, may be used in accordance with the present invention, and the present invention is A course of spandex covered with fine yarn, followed by plating with hard yarn. is in no way limited to a particular repeat pattern or number of courses of bare spandex. .

[0034] In one non-limiting embodiment, the fabric is prepared by weft knitting.

[0035] In one non-limiting embodiment, other yarns can be added to the feed, for example to make the fabric heavier. or introduce design, pattern, and / or color into the fabric.

[0036] The present disclosure also provides a method for fabricating a woven fabric comprising: The modified full course style includes a bare spandex course and The present invention provides garments at least partially made from these fabrics having the above-mentioned properties. In one preferred embodiment, the garment is a lightweight garment. In one non-limiting embodiment, the garment is an 8 In one non-limiting embodiment, the garment has an appearance of 20 to 25 denier. In one non-limiting embodiment of hosiery, the fabric of the present invention is used in the leg portion. The panties or other sections may include fabric having a typical structure. In an alternative embodiment, the garment is not thin.
