CONSTITUTION: In knitting by using plural reeds by the high-gauge warp knitting machine of >=36 gauges, a yarn 1 of a front reed and a yarn 2 of one back feed are sideways shaken and reciprocated over several wales, respectively and knitted stitches are formed at their turning parts. The knitted stitch of at least one yarn is an open stitch or a combination of an open stitch and a closed stitch.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is suitably used for lingerie and other innerwear such as slips and peticoats, and for women's clothing such as dresses and jacket blouses and linings. This invention relates to warp knitted fabrics, particularly high gauge warp knitted fabrics knitted by warp knitting machines of 36 gauge (number of needles per inch) or higher.

[Prior art and its problems] Conventionally, most of the high gauge warp knitted fabrics of 36 to 40 gauge are warp knitted fabrics generally called half tricot.

As shown in Figure 8, this warp knitted fabric is knitted using a warp knitting example of two reeds, and the threads (2°) of the back reed are 1×1.
The cord is tricot knitted, that is, each course is made up of adjacent wales that go back and forth to form each stitch, and the thread (1') of the front reed is a 1x2 cord weaved, that is, each course is made of A structure in which underwrapping is performed in the opposite direction to the yarn of the back reed, and while one wale is swung back and forth horizontally, a stitch is formed at the folded part, and then a stitch is formed by returning to the original wale. In particular, in high gauge warp knitted fabrics of 36 gauge or higher, all the stitches of both yarns (1°) (2°) are generally closed.

Warp knitted fabrics with this structure have uniform stitches and a relatively smooth knitted surface, but on the other hand, the stitches are firm and have the hardness characteristic of high-gauge knitted fabrics, and they have good elasticity and softness on the knitted fabric surface. It is somewhat inferior, and due to the uniform texture, there is little change in the surface of the knitted fabric. Note that post-processing has been used to add fine uneven patterns to plain knitted fabrics to improve the texture, but these patterns and textures are relatively easy to disappear when washed. .

In view of the above, the present invention is a high-gauge warp-knitted fabric of this type that does not have the hardness that is a disadvantage of conventional fabrics, has excellent elasticity and softness on the surface of the knitted fabric, and has a plain patterned surface that does not change. The purpose is to provide a warp knitted fabric that has a soft and supple feel, and is superior in luxury and versatility.

[Means for Solving the Problems 1] The first high-gauge warp knitted fabric of the present invention that solves the above-mentioned problems is a warp-knitted fabric knitted with a plurality of reeds by a high-gauge warp knitting machine of 36 gauge or higher. , front reed thread and 1
The yarns of each back reed are knitted horizontally back and forth over several wales, and both of the yarns form stitches in the wales of the folded parts, and the stitches of at least one of the yarns are open stitches or open stitches. It is characterized by a combination of eyes and closed eyes.

The second high gauge warp knitted fabric of the present invention which solves the above-mentioned problems is a warp knitted fabric knitted with multiple reeds by a high gauge warp knitting machine with 36 or more gussets, the yarn of the front reed and one The yarns of each back reed are knitted by swiveling back and forth across several wales, and the two yarns form stitches alternately in each course, and are inserted by swiveling several wales in the next course. It is characterized by being woven with.

[Function] According to the warp knitted fabric of the first invention, unlike the conventional high tricot warp knitted fabric with closed stitches, at least the yarn stitches of the back reed are open stitches, or open stitches and closed stitches. Therefore, even though it is a high-gauge warp knitted fabric, it has more elasticity than when all the stitches are closed, and the surface of the knitted fabric becomes softer. Moreover, the texture of the surface of the knitted fabric changes due to the open stitches, resulting in a surface condition that is different from that of the conventional uniform structure due to the closed stitches, and exhibits, for example, the appearance of a grained or striped plain pattern.

Further, according to the warp knitted fabric of the second invention, each course is alternately knitted with one of the front reed yarn and the back reed yarn, and the other yarn is inserted into the stitches. In addition to being thinner and more elastic than conventional half-set warp knitted fabrics, the knitted fabric surface has a plain pattern that is different from conventional products due to the combination of alternate stitch formation and insertion for each course. The surface condition is similar to circular knitted pearl knitted material.

[Example] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

1 to 5 each show an embodiment of the first invention,
FIGS. 6 and 7 each show an embodiment of the second invention. In either case, the count per inch is 36~
A high gauge warp of 40 or more than 36 yarns [1, especially knitted by a warp knitting machine with two or more reeds, and at least one reed yarn has an open stitch, or a closed stitch and a double stitch, or It is knitted by a combination of closed stitches and insertions that do not form stitches.

That is, in the embodiments shown in Figs. 1 to 5, the front reed yarn (1) is knitted with a knitting structure such as 1 x 2 cord or 1 x 3 cord, and is knitted horizontally and back and forth over several wales. A stitch is formed at the folded part, and one back reed yarn (2) is knitted with a 1×1 cord tricot knit structure or an atlas knit structure, and the stitch is formed by swiveling back and forth across several wales. At least the stitches of the yarn (2) of the back reed are open stitches or a combination of open stitches and closed stitches.

In addition, in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the front reed yarn (1) and one back reed yarn (2) alternately form stitches in each course, and in each subsequent course, several stitches are formed. The wale is knitted in the form of an insertion without forming a stitch by swinging the wale horizontally.

The threads used above include nylon-based, polyamide-based,
Polyester-based or other synthetic resin filament yarns are preferably used, but synthetic resin monofilament yarns, processed yarns such as crimped yarns, other chemical fiber yarns, or spun yarns may also be used. The thickness of the yarn used may be any thickness that is possible for high gauge knitting, but yarns of 10 to 50 deniers are usually suitably used for the front reed yarn and the back reed yarn.

Each embodiment will be described below based on an exploded organizational chart showing the wrapping state of the front reed and the back reed. Both are knitted using a 36-gauge warp knitting machine using a full set of two reeds that thread through all the re-guides.

In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the thread (1) of the front reed is
The knitting structure of the IX2 cord, expressed as Zunawachi Chen Komagumi, is organized as O-1/2-3, and it skips one wale in each course and returns to the original wale in the next course.
In this way, while horizontally swinging back and forth, the wale of the folded part forms a stitch.The yarn (2) of the back reed has a knitting structure of 1×1 cord, that is, 1-210-1 when expressed in chain komagumi. The threads (1) of the front reed are knitted with a texture, and are underwrapped in the opposite direction to the threads (1) of the front reed in each course, passing between adjacent wales, returning to the original wale in the next course, and in this way, while swinging back and forth horizontally. The wales of the folded portions form a structure that forms stitches. The stitches of the front reed yarn (1) and the back leg yarn (2) are all knitted with open stitches. (
1a) (2a) shows the stitch part of each opening (
same as below).

In the case of this example, all the stitches of #J double-grained yarn (1) and (2) are open stitches, so even though it is a high gauge warp knitted fabric, all stitches are closed stitches. It has greater elasticity than other fabrics, and the surface of the knitted fabric has a soft texture.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, as in the first embodiment,
The front reed yarn (1) is knitted with a 1×2 cord knitting structure, and is swung back and forth between every single wale to form a stitch with the wale of the folded part.
2) is knitted with a 1×1 cord knitting structure, and stitches are formed by reciprocating horizontally between adjacent wales. In particular, in this case, the stitches of the front reed yarn (1) are closed stitches,
The stitches of the yarn (2) of the back reed are knitted in the same open stitch structure as described above.

(1b) shows the closed stitch portion of yarn (1).

In this example as well, since the stitches of one yarn are open stitches, the stretchability and the softness of the surface of the knitted fabric are increased compared to when all stitches are closed stitches.

In particular, during knitting, the defining threads (1) and (2) overlap in concentric circles around the needle (n), but the stitch portion (2a) of the back reed thread (2) Since the stitches are open, this back thread (2) is connected to the front thread (
1), and both yarns exhibit a knitted fabric surface that is different from that which forms closed stitches.
, especially when colored thread is used as the thread (2), this thread (2)
appears as a kind of fine pointillist pattern, giving it a more novel appearance.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the front reed yarn (1) is knitted as a closed stitch with the same 1×2 cord knitting structure as above,
On the other hand, the yarn (2) of the back reed is knitted with the same 1×1 cord knitting structure as above, and in particular, the case is shown in which the stitches are alternately closed and open every two courses.

(2b) shows the stitch portion of the closed stitch.

In this case, due to the presence of open stitches of one yarn (2), not only the stretchability and the softness of the knitted fabric surface are increased compared to when all stitches are closed stitches, but also the Due to the tissue change due to the opening and closing stitches,
The surface of the knitted fabric appears as a fine striped pattern, which is different from the conventional uniform structure with only closed stitches.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the front reed yarn (1) is knitted as a closed stitch with the same 1×2 cord knitting structure as above,
On the other hand, the back reed yarn (2) is knitted with the same 1×1 cord knitting structure as above, and is knitted by horizontally reciprocating between adjacent wales, and the stitches are alternately closed and open for each course, i.e. A case is shown in which one of the adjacent wales has a structure in which a closed eye is formed and the other adjacent wale has an open eye.

In this case as well, due to the presence of the open stitches formed by the yarn (2), the elasticity and the softness of the knitted fabric surface increase, and
Wrinkles appear on the surface of the knitted fabric, and the surface of the knitted fabric exhibits a soft texture.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the front reed yarn (1) is knitted as a closed stitch with the same 1×2 cord knitting structure as above, while the back reed yarn (2) is knitted in a 1×1 open stitch. B) This shows the case of a 4-course atlas edition and a structure in which each stitch is opened.

In this case, the open stitches of the back yarn (2) not only increase stretchability and softness of the surface of the knitted fabric, but also
), the atlas knitting creates a fine diagonal knitting pattern on the surface of the knitted fabric, and the pattern does not disappear even after washing.

The embodiment shown in Figure 6 is a full set of front reed threads (1).
The yarn (2) of the back reed is horizontally swung back and forth in the same direction for each course between adjacent wales, forming stitches alternately in each course, and is inserted in the next course without forming stitches in the adjacent wales. For example, the back thread (2) is odd-numbered course CI, C3, C5.
When a stitch is formed by overlapping the reeds,
The front thread (1) is even-numbered courses C2, C4, CB-.

- Stitches are formed by the overlap of the reeds, and in courses where no stitches are formed, the adjacent wales are knitted in the form of insertion by the idle swing of the reeds.

In this case, since each course is alternately knitted with one of the front reed yarn (1) and back reed yarn (2), and the other yarn is inserted and knitted, it is different from the conventional half tricot. In addition to being thinner and more elastic than warp knitted fabrics, the surface of the knitted fabric has a surface condition that is different from conventional products due to the combination of stitch formation and insertion that occurs alternately in each course, creating a surface condition similar to that of circular knitted purl stitches. It has a good appearance and feels good.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the full set of front reed yarn (1) and back reed yarn (2) alternately form stitches in each course, and do not form stitches in the next course. This is the case where the front reed thread (1) is inserted and knitted.
The reed is knitted horizontally back and forth between adjacent wales, without forming stitches in one wale, and in an inserted manner, and in the next course, the reed is overlapped with two needles (n) at the same time and knitted from that wale. The yarn (2) of the back is 1
The yarn (1) of the front reed moves back and forth horizontally between the alternate wales to form a stitch in a course without forming a stitch, and in the next course it is inserted across an alternate wale without forming a stitch. The organization is organized in the form of

In the case of this example, the fabric is thinner than conventional knitted fabrics, has high elasticity as a knitted fabric, and has zigzag stitches on the surface of the knitted fabric, which appear as a kind of pattern.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention reduces the stiffness peculiar to high gauge warp knitting, increases elasticity and softness of the surface of the knitted fabric, even though it is a high gauge warp knitted fabric. Although the ground surface is plain, the changes in the stitch structure create a fine pattern that is different from conventional fabrics, giving it a soft texture and an added sense of luxury. Therefore, the high gauge warp knitted fabric of the present invention is novel and has excellent versatility, and is suitable for use in innerwear such as various lingerie,
It can be used very suitably for women's clothing and linings.
