Abstract

A new textile material, a so-called woven knitted fabric, contains weft threads (4) inserted in the knitted fabric in the direction of the stitch rows and/or warp threads (3) inserted in the direction of the stitch wales. Both weft and warp threads are individually inserted in a controlled manner. The material is characterised in particular by an arbitrarily selected beginning and end of individual weft or warp threads within the material, so that a broad spectrum of patterns can be obtained and locally defined property requirements can be complied with. Materials such as wires, coated yarns, micro-fibres, which in pure knitted fabrics can only be used within limits or cannot be at all used, may also be used for the weft and warp threads (3, 4). The weft and warp threads may also be mutually linked by woven links or may also be partially formed into loops. Woven knitted fabrics are particularly advantageous for the production of three-dimensionally shaped textile articles.

Description

The present invention relates to a textile material, in particular textile articles, made from woven knitwear and to a method for the production thereof. Within the scope of the description, textile material generally comprises material which is produced from thread-like material on a flat knitting machine by means of weaving, knitting, etc. The thread-like material can e.g. B. be mono- or multifilament, be made of synthetic or natural fibers or wire and also be multi-component, such as. B. coated, wrapped or wound material. Within the scope of this description, textile articles also include textile articles.

Knitted fabric is characterized by its elasticity and its insulating effect due to the high proportion of trapped air. The production has the further advantage that, within the technical possibilities, shaped pieces can be produced, with even three-dimensional objects such as, for example, B. car seat covers (DE-A1-37 25 539, GB-A-2 223 034) without additional processing steps such. B. sewing or cutting are possible.

Another advantage of knitwear is the wide color patterning possibility already during the production e.g. B. by intarsia and jacquard technology. In addition, there are varied structures by changing from right to left stitches, transferring stitches etc. Especially in this area, the introduction of knitting and warp knitting machines with single needle control in connection with computer control meant great progress.

However, the so-called gusset, ie the places where stitches are decreased and increased, are problematic in the production of shaped fabric parts, in order, for. B. later to form the edges of the molded parts. When removing and taking back of stitches results in a "seam", which, however, has inconsistencies such as e.g. B. has small holes, in any case is not invisible. Overlapping knitting of these connections has already been proposed (GB-A-2,223,036), but still leads to a different mesh in the connection area. The connection stands out clearly from the surrounding material.

According to the technique of meshing, the range of usable yarns is also restricted. The yarns must be flexible, i.e. H. in general be thin enough to be able to form sufficiently small stitches, since otherwise the product would be too voluminous and the material consumption would also be very large because of the large stitches. Yarns with a rough surface also make it difficult to move the stitches together, so that a stiff knitwear is obtained. Flocked, twisted or coated yarns in particular are therefore only suitable for meshing to a limited extent or not at all.

On the other hand, yarns that are too thin are of course also problematic, since they require a very narrow needle pitch and thus correspondingly fine and fragile needles, so that the resulting knitted fabric has a stitch density corresponding to the thin yarn in order to meet the mechanical and optical requirements.

An alternative fabric manufacturing process, weaving, on the other hand, can process a wide variety of yarns. However, the products are only obtained as sheets of uniform width and structure. They are not elastic unless the yarn itself is elastic. There are restrictions when it comes to color sampling because the warp threads have to run through. As a result, only a continuous stripe pattern can be achieved in the warp direction. In the weft direction, the jacquard technique allows a slightly expanded one Diversity. Nevertheless, it also applies here that every weft thread is pulled through the full width.

The combination of weaving and meshing, i.e. H. The introduction of weave structures such as weft threads or warp threads in knitted fabrics or vice versa was therefore sought early on and achieved to a certain extent by modifying the known knitting, knitting or Raschel machines. The textile materials thus obtained had a continuous mesh structure in which weft, warp and both weft and warp threads were incorporated. The weft or warp threads were basically endless, and their distribution over the sticks or rows of stitches was given by the construction of the machine used for the production, i. H. regular and constant across the entire material area. The properties of the material for a textile web or a textile body produced in one piece were thus also predetermined over the entire area.

Such modified machines and products made with them describe e.g. B. the patents US-3,884,053 for a circular knitting machine with continuous, spiral weft and continuous warp thread insertion, FR-A-2'079'217 for continuous warp threads in a knitted flat or tubular textile web and GB-A-239.261 for knitting machines including with warp and weft insertion. As far as warp and weft insertion was realized, there was no weave between warp and weft.

WO 91/00936 shows the entry of a weft thread in a knitted fabric. In the prior art, such a weft insertion takes place in a double-layer knitted fabric which is knitted on a two-bed machine with offset needles. The weft insertion is fixed between the two surfaces of the knitted fabric in that the stitches are transferred to the other bed after the insertion of the weft thread. In the known method, the weft thread does not have to be inserted over the entire width of the knitted fabric, but only up to a certain point. In the next row of stitches, the weft thread is then returned, making it possible to insert the weft thread entry in a defined area with respect to the width. Thus, while in the known method the weft thread is inserted laterally and at some point after a certain number of stitches is led out again from the knitting material, it is not possible with this known method to start or end the weft thread within the knitted fabric. In order to start or end a thread within the knitted fabric, this would have to be cut off by hand in the known method. EP 0 305 682 A2 describes a similar method in which a weft thread is introduced into a knitted fabric in regions and coherently over a section in which it is incorporated as a warp thread. However, the use of a clamping / cutting device for the area-wise incorporation of the weft thread is not mentioned.

EP 0 415 512 A1 shows a flat knitting machine with individually programmable controlled thread guides. However, the thread guides are provided for feeding the yarn to be normally knitted. It was therefore not recognized in this publication that the individually controllable thread guides form the possibility of introducing threads into the knitted fabric as weft or warp threads.

A device with separately controlled thread guides, which have a clamping / cutting device, is disclosed in the subsequently published WO 93/19234. This document shows the provision of a clamping device on a thread guide in connection with the intarsia technique, in which typical intarsia optics can be achieved by meshing different threads in different areas across the width of the knitting material. This document shows no warp thread devices for introducing warp threads into the knitted fabric.

It is the object of the invention to create a possibility of producing a knitted fabric in which structural changes can be achieved at defined points.

• Erweiterung des Farb- und Formmusterungsspielraums;
• Herstellung beliebiger, dreidimensional geformter Textilartikel durch Strick technik, so dass weitere Bearbeitungsschritte bis auf eine eventuelle Formung weitgehendst vermieden werden;
• Herstellung. geformter, insbesondere dreidimensional geformter Stoffteile mit hinsichtlich insbesondere Aussehen und mechanischen Eigenschaften verbesserten Zwickelnähten;
• Textilmaterial mit zusätzlichen Funktionen und/oder Eigenschaften, wie z. B. Temperaturstabilität oder Sterilisierbarkeit, wobei daraus hergestellte Bekleidungsstücke weiterhin angenehm zu tragen sind.

This object is achieved with the textile material according to claim 1, a method according to claim 14 and devices according to claims 16 to 18. Special designs, manufacturing processes and applications are specified in the further claims. Further advantages of the invention result depending on the field of application of the material according to the invention:

• Use of thread-like materials previously useless for knitwear in the manufacture of such fabric parts;
• Expansion of color and shape pattern latitude;
• Manufacture of any three-dimensionally shaped textile articles by knitting technology, so that further processing steps are avoided as far as possible, apart from a possible shaping;
• Manufacturing. shaped, in particular three-dimensionally shaped fabric parts with improved gusset seams with regard to particular appearance and mechanical properties;
• Textile material with additional functions and / or properties, such as. B. temperature stability or sterilizability, with items of clothing made therefrom still being comfortable to wear.

Accordingly, warp threads, weft threads or warp and weft threads are additionally inserted into a knitted fabric produced on a flat knitting machine, the sequence of the warp and / or weft threads changing during the manufacture of the textile material and in particular also the weft or warp threads in any arrangement and number only be involved temporarily. The sequence of inserting or re-suspending a warp or weft thread entry is preferably carried out individually for each thread. The manufacturing process is hereinafter referred to as "weaving", and knitting can also be used to create the knitted fabric portion. The new material is known as "woven knitwear". The term "knitting" is intended as a general term be considered for the production of textile material by meshing, that is to say in particular also include working on flat knitting machines.

The terms "warp thread" or "weft thread" are chosen here only because of the analogy of their course in weaving technology, the technical implementation and processing mechanisms, however, are fundamentally different from those of weaving technology. The weft threads run along the rows of stitches here, but do not need to be counted and are inserted by separate thread guides. The warp threads run in the knitting direction, i.e. H. in the direction of the chopsticks of the knitted fabric, also need not be kneaded and are guided by the above-mentioned warp thread devices. With the individual control of the warp and / or weft guides, it is also possible to lay the warp and / or weft threads in such a way that they are also spliced. In particular, the warp threads, but also the weft threads, can be sized before processing, after which the finished textile article must then be desized.

The insertion of the additional threads is generally only possible on machines with individually controlled thread guides and warp thread devices, which preferably also have an individual control for each warp thread. These additional thread guide mechanisms for the existing knitting machines can advantageously only be controlled by corresponding computer controls which have entered the knitting machine technology in recent years.

Since such machines have only recently become available and the textile materials that can be produced on them show previously unknown, new properties and open up correspondingly new application possibilities, these have now been given Possibilities for realizing the materials according to the invention have so far not been recognized. In particular, it has only become possible through the introduction of devices for pinching off threads to allow a thread, in particular warp or weft thread, to end within the textile material and to start again at another point. This allows the warp or weft threads to be entered individually and in a program-controlled manner, that is to say without interrupting the process, only in certain areas of the material, the problem of concealed guidance, eg. B. on the back or inside the textile material does not occur.

The possibility of making weft and warp entry locally, whereby a change from one warp or weft thread material is also possible, patterns can be achieved and areas with special properties, e.g. B. mechanical nature, are generated without the material having to undergo further processing steps.

In contrast to the weaving mill, the weft threads of the new type of textile are not shot, but are placed on the last row of stitches using a type of thread guide and integrated into the stitch structure during the subsequent knitting steps. Likewise, the warp threads are fed from individually controllable thread guide devices, which results in additional options in terms of color and shape, such as. B. jacquard pattern, guidance of the threads individually on the front or back of the mesh.

The warp and / or weft threads, since they do not have to be involved in the stitch formation, can also consist of much thicker and stiffer yarn than is possible in the manufacture of knitted fabrics. Examples include flocked material for fluffy knitwear, wires for heated, called flexible fabrics, fire-resistant monofilaments or microfibers. Overall, since the inserted threads do not have to take on a primary holding function, but rather are integrated into the fabric structure by the surrounding knitted fabric, any materials available as yarns or filaments can be introduced into the textile. It is surprising that when using stiff thread materials there is not only excellent flexibility around the longitudinal axis of the inserted threads, whereby the inserted threads are only slightly bent, but that the textile piece can also be easily deformed by bending the inserted fibers.

The use of warp and weft threads can underlay the knitted fabric with a fabric structure that can also be carried alone. This results in the possibility, in extreme cases, of producing a textile product with any three-dimensional shape on a single machine, which is partly pure knitwear, partly knitwear with inserted weft and / or warp threads and partly also made of pure fabric. In parallel, a smooth transition from elastic to inelastic can be carried out.

It is also possible to use not only jacquard technology, as in weaving, but also inlaid technology to achieve color patterns on the weft and warp threads, since the warp and weft threads are guided individually. Additional possibilities result from the use of two or more, at least temporarily weft or warp threads.

The warp and / or weft threads cannot be integrated into the stitches even over a large number of stitches. The warp or weft threads then running freely in front of or behind the material result in flaps that can serve to attach the textile piece. An application arises in the manufacture of car seats, since fastening elements can thus be produced integrally with the cover.

The additionally inserted weft thread can also be used to "split" the stitches. The newly introduced so-called "split stitch" leads in the area of the gusset, ie. H. in the areas in which two mutually angled edges of a previously flat textile piece are joined to one another, for a uniform material appearance of the three-dimensional shape thus formed.

The new type of textile also combines the advantages of woven and knitted fabrics, that fabrics do not need to be steamed and stretched, and knitted fabrics are flexible.

The possibilities of the new type of textile are to be explained further with the aid of a few figures, from which the structure of the new type of fabric emerges. However, this is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, and all modifications that are obvious to those skilled in the art are also included.

Fig. 1 shows schematically the knitting of a course on a two-bed knitting machine, warp and weft threads 3 and 4 are present. The weft thread 4 is laid here in a twill weave opposite the warp threads 3. Since the weft thread can be freely controlled, this type of binding can be changed with each weft.

By means of a clamping device (not shown), each warp or weft thread can be clamped and cut off at any time in a holding device, which means that in the further manufacturing process, i. H. in the following courses, this thread is not used. For re-entry, the clamping device reinserts the thread into the process and releases it. In this way, in addition to controlling the meshing procedure, z. B. stiffeners, color changes and other structural changes can be achieved.

1a schematically shows a plan view of the double needle bed with the needles 1 of the front needle bed (not shown) and the needles 2 of the rear needle bed (not shown). The front stitches 6 and rear stitches 7 shown are already knitted. The warp threads 3 run through the image plane and are guided on the front of the textile piece. The weft 4 is placed on the course.

Fig. 1b shows the state after the next knitting. The thread guide (not shown) of the stitch-forming thread 5 has passed behind all the warp threads 3, whereby the warp threads 3 are in turn guided on the front of the textile piece. Any number of rows of stitches can of course be knitted with knitting thread guides running behind or in front of the warp threads, this being able to be controlled individually for each warp thread. If a number of adjacent warp threads z. B. always with a knitting thread 5 running behind it and a weft 4 laid at the back over several rows of stitches, a loop results from these warp threads, e.g. B. for fastening purposes. Conversely, a number of weft threads can also be laid in such a way that they form a loop, possibly still interwoven with warp threads.

An alternative to the integration of the weft thread is shown in FIG. 2 as a continuation of FIG. 1a. The front stitches 6 were hung on the needles 2 of the rear needle bed, which gives the textile piece a different appearance. The transferred stitches can be knitted immediately through the stitches 7 present on the rear needles 2 or together with these during the formation of the next row of stitches. It can of course also be reassigned from the back to the front, and the weft insertion can simply be interrupted or placed in such a way that it weaves with the warp threads, but is not integrated into the knitted fabric.

Fig. 3 shows the implementation of the split stitch, in which two stitches around the weft thread 4 are formed from a previously existing stitch, here for example a rear stitch 7. FIG. 3a shows a row of stitches with weft thread 4 placed on them. According to arrows 9, a half stitch, ie. H. one leg of a stitch, reassigned to the rear of a rear needle 2 already carrying the stitch and immediately knitted through the existing stitch, after which the state according to FIG. 3b results. The knitting thread 5 remains as a kind of catch on the front needles 1. Of course, immediate knitting can also be omitted.

Another embodiment of the split stitch is shown in FIG. 4. Here, directly after the knitting thread 5 is placed on only the needles 1 of the front needle bed (FIG. 4a) pass half a stitch to the needles 2 of the rear needle bed. The weft 4 is put on (FIG. 4b) and the transferred half stitch is passed back over the weft 4, as indicated by the arrows 8. Then there are two stitches instead of one on each of the needles 1 (FIG. 4c), the warp threads 3 having been integrated at the same time. Of course, the stitch returned can also be knitted immediately, and the warp threads can also be integrated differently or not at all.

Due to the tension in the fabric achieved with the split stitch, a dense mesh is obtained in the area of the gusset without the previously known, undesirable thinning or holes. The split stitch is therefore preferably used at the edges of the gusset.

In addition, the weft threads can be deposited overlapping in the area of the gusset. Fig. 5 shows the state of a piece of textile during the processing of a gusset in the direction of arrow 12 for three-dimensional shaping. The zigzag lines 11 symbolize some of the courses. The weft threads 4 protruding into the already knitted textile surface, which hangs on needles that are currently inactive, are worked overlapping into the gusset seam when these needles are reinserted and reinforce them. This course of the weft threads 4 is only possible with the new technique of freely controllable weft insertion.

In addition, the warp threads 3 can run along the rods. These form a corner on the gusset in the finished product, which the warp threads 3 follow and thus reinforce them. It is also possible to knit the gusset from the top, with the rows of stitches running around the corner and the double crochets in the direction of the later edge. Again there are two options available:

It can first z. B. the left edge of the gusset are knitted from top to bottom, as indicated by the arrow 13 in FIG. 6, similar to the free ends of the weft threads 4 protruding from the gusset edge 10. The zigzag lines 15 symbolize here again some of the courses. Later the right edge is knitted from bottom to top according to arrow 14, whereby the new stitch rows on the right side 17 are continuously linked according to the inclination of the gusset edges with the previously formed stitches on the left side 16 which are now hanging from needles are, and the weft ends are worked into the now formed rows of stitches, preferably overlapping with the newly laid weft threads 4.

The second possibility is to immediately knit the right and left sides of the gusset from the top at the same time, the gusset being produced in a row in order to decrease the number of stitches. Here, the weft threads 4 can simply pass through the gusset from left to right or vice versa.

Conversely, of course, instead of the gusset tip, the edge of a three-dimensional textile piece can also be produced with the addition of loops and possibly new warp threads.

It is therefore obvious to use the specified methods to produce arbitrarily shaped three-dimensional textile pieces in one operation. The gussets do not have to be straight as shown in the illustrations, but can also be curved. When stitching the edges of the gusset together, the split stitch is used in particular. Openings can also be made in this way, the weft threads correspondingly only up to the edges of the openings and the warp threads either run around the opening or are exposed.

It is also possible to switch off or vary the individual components of the fabric structure for themselves at least temporarily during the manufacturing process. The mesh, single or all warp threads, single or all weft threads can be removed and reinserted. Two or more threads can be knitted in parallel or individually or inserted as weft or warp threads.

The warp or weft threads can consist of little or unsuitable materials for meshing, such as. B. wires, flocked yarns, monofilaments, microfibers, textured yarns. The material can also simply be unsuitable for intermeshing due to its thickness or thinness, e.g. B. twisted, wrapped or coated yarn, but can be incorporated without problems as a weft or warp thread in the fabric structure according to the invention. A combination of these materials can also be used.

The possibility of guiding the warp or weft threads arbitrarily in front of or behind the mesh, as well as using single or multiple threads, which can however be individually controlled with regard to their course in the structure, or in particular the weft threads only over part of the Stock width can be used for structuring and coloring the goods in any pattern in the usual techniques, such as Jacquard and intarsia, as well as additional variants of the manufacturing process described above can be used.

Additional applications result from the variety of materials that can be used. It can e.g. B. one side of a Velcro fastener can be incorporated directly by means of a covered yarn. For this purpose, a plush is produced using a technique according to the invention, which is made by warp or Weft is reinforced. The pile threads are made of heat-fixable material and act as a Velcro half after heat-fixing. Furthermore, fully synthetic articles of clothing can be produced which are nevertheless breathable due to the use of microfiber as a weft and / or warp material. Such items can e.g. B. used in the medical field as surgical gowns.

Tubular textiles that are reinforced by weft and / or warp can also be produced. On two-bed machines, the thread to be knitted can be passed onto every second needle of the two beds, only catches being placed on one of the two beds. The weft is placed on top and either the stitches or the catches are transferred, which binds in the weft. In the second round, the second half of the circumference of the tube is knitted on the other needles. It can also be knitted on all needles, with the weft thread being placed on it before being emulated. Further known variants of tube knitting can obviously be realized in the expert with inserted weft and / or warp threads. On four-bed machines, it is also possible to work with all needles in the shoulder technique, since two beds can produce half of the cross-sectional circumference. In contrast to pure knitwear, the textile material with inserted weft and / or warp thread is only slightly stretchable in the direction of these threads. It can be used, for example, for closed, seamless belts that have no seam, such as drive belts or conveyor belts.

Further applications of the textile material according to the invention result for three-dimensional preforms for fiber composite products that can be produced without a seam, such as, for. B. helmets, moldings for seals and membranes, insulation parts. Other possible uses are obvious to the person skilled in the art, and the list above does not in any way limit the possible uses.
