Definitions

  • the present invention relates to hosiery produced by knitting substantially exclusively a covered elastic yarn at least the leg portion knitting fabric thereof. Especially it relates to hosiery good in transparency, flat feeling, luster feeling, touch feeling, fitting property, durability, wearing comfort, etc.
  • panty hose in recent years is remarkable, i.e., rapid shift from panty hose produced using the conventional false-twist nylon yarn to panty hose produced using a covered elastic yarn constituted of an elastic polyurethane yarn and a nylon yarn twisted around the elastic polyurethane yarn.
  • the panty hose produced using a covered elastic yarn have gained public favor in the market since they have not only excellent close fitting property due to recovery of the elastic polyurethane yarn after elongation thereof, but also good durability.
  • panty hose produced using the conventional covered elastic yarn have been produced by alternately knitting the covered elastic yarn and a nylon yarn, but recently for the purposes of obviating weft bar due to alternate course knitting and of achieving higher fitting property, panty hose wherein a leg portion knitting fabric is formed by knitting only a covered elastic yarn, so-called every course panty hose are being marketed.
  • panty hose wherein a leg portion knitting fabric is formed by knitting only a covered elastic yarn, so-called every course panty hose are being marketed.
  • the hosiery wherein a leg portion knitting fabric is formed by knitting only a covered elastic yarn is called "every course hose”.
  • the covered elastic yarn has a structure in which a nylon yarn is twisted around an elastic polyurethane yarn, it is liable to be large in fiber fineness, therefore the hosiery produced using the yarn are disadvantageously poor in transparency, stuffy, large in fabric thickness, etc. as compared with the conventional hosiery produced using a false-twist yarn or a composite fiber.
  • These disadvantages are worse in every course hose, and in addition, every course hose do not have luster feeling and furthermore since the fabric is less uniform, they are poor in flat feeling as a further other large problem.
  • the covering performance is important for improving the durability, fabric appearance, color tone, handling touch, etc. of the hosiery obtained, whether the nylon yarn is wound around the elastic polyurethane yarn so as not to expose the elastic polyurethane yarn in surface of the covered elastic yarn and uniformly wound or not.
  • the main object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the above prior arts, and to provide every course hose which is not only excellent in transparency, flat feeling, luster feeling, touch feeling, and wearing comfort not achieved by the conventional every course hose but also good in fitting property, durability, etc., by improving the every course hose produced by knitting substantially exclusively a covered elastic yarn into the leg portion knitting fabric thereof in transparency, flat feeling, luster feeling, large in fabric thickness, wearing comfort, etc.
  • the present invention is hosiery, produced by knitting substantially exclusively a covered elastic yarn into at least the leg portion knitting fabric thereof, wherein said covered elastic yarn is formed by winding a polyamide filament yarn around a core yarn constituted of an elastic yarn, comprising: the cross section of the polyamide filament yarn is a swollen quadrilateral substantially free from any depression and having four protruding portions, wherein the swollen quadrilateral is formed by four curved sides substantially swelling outside from the respective four sides of an inscribed quadrilateral with the protruding portions as vertexes (hereinafter simply called "a swollen quadrilateral").
  • the present invention is every course hose produced by knitting substantially exclusively a covered elastic yarn into at least the leg portion knitting fabric thereof, wherein a polyamide filament yarn having a cross section of said specific swollen quadrilateral are used as the covering yarn of the covered elastic yarn, therefore every course hose can have excellent properties which could not be achieved in the conventional every course hose, for example, very good transparency, luster feeling, refreshing feeling, fabric appearance, soft touch, smoothing touch, fitting property, etc., and also excellent wearing comfort and high fashionability.
  • the covered elastic yarn are improved in uniformity and transparency, to improve the transparency, luster feeling, touch feeling, fabric appearance, etc. of the hosiery fabric.
  • they are better in the adherence of the covering yarn to the elastic yarn as a core yarn, higher in covering performance, less in the separation of the covering yarn from the elastic yarn liable to be caused when a conventional yarn with a round section is used, better in fabric appearance and skin touch feeling, and less in the exposure of the elastic yarn as a core yarn, hence higher in durability.
  • the frictional coefficient and its variation of the leg portions can be kept at low levels which could not be achieved by the conventional every course hose, and as a result, the hosiery obtained are excellent in smoothing touch when worn, and less in rough feeling when worn, being excellent in skin touch.
  • the hosiery is produced by knitting substantially exclusively a covered elastic yarn, high fitting power can be easily obtained, and the 60% recovery stress can be kept in an ideal range from 180 to 350 g.
  • the conventional every course hose is poor in fabric appearance due to shrunken fabric, but in the present invention, since the above mentioned polyamide filament yarn having a cross section of the specific swollen quadrilateral are used as a covering yarn, such effects that covering performance is uniform with less core elastic yarn exposed, that the uneven shrinkage of the knitted fabric is inhibited, that the fabric appearance is prevented from being worsened, and that the processability during knitting and finishing can be improved can be obtained.
  • the hosiery intended in the present invention includes hosiery products such as panty hose, long hosiery and short hosiery.

  • the leg portion knitting fabric may have a knitted pattern composed of another material or decorated with something like one point mark.
  • the portions other than the leg portion (such as the panty portion) may also be produced by knitting a covered elastic yarn same as the leg portion.
  • the covered elastic yarn can be a single covered elastic yarn (SCY) having a covering yarn singly wound around an elastic yarn, or a double covered elastic yarn (DCY) having two covering yarns doubly wound around an elastic yarn in mutually opposite directions of twist.

  • Single covered elastic yarns are especially preferable in view of higher transparency, smaller in fabric thickness and less stuffy feeling of hosiery.
  • the covered elastic yarn used in the present invention comprises a polyamide filament yarn as a covering yarn, wherein the cross section is a swollen quadrilateral substantially free from any depression and having four protruding portions, and formed by four curved sides substantially swelling outside from the respective four sides of an inscribed quadrilateral with the protruding portions as vertexes.

  • Titanium oxide is generally contained in polyamide fibers for hosiery as a delustering agent. Especially in the case of fiber with a non-circular cross section such as 3-lobed (Y-shaped) cross section or 5-lobed cross section, since the glittering on the surface of the fiber is very large, it has been considered to be absolutely necessary to add titanium oxide for suppressing the glittering. However, when the fibers having a cross section of a swollen quadrilateral of the present invention are used as the covering yarn, the problem of glittering does not arise, and substantial freedom from titanium oxide is rather effective for improving the transparency, color clearness, strength, etc. of the hosiery. It is preferable that titanium oxide is not substantially contained.

  • the tensile modulus of more than 40.0 g/d as in the drawn yarns obtained by drawing the slowly spun undrawn yarns at a high ratio is unpreferable in view of transparency, softness, etc. of the knitted fabric of every course hose.
  • the boil off shrinkage exceeds 15% as in the drawn yarns obtained by drawing the slowly spun undrawn yarns at a high ratio, since the shrinkage in the heat treatment processing such as dyeing is too large, the strong tightening by the polyamide yarn wound around the core yarn is liable to make the covered elastic yarn rigid, for further impairing the softness of the fabric, and the knitted loops of the fabric are liable to be deformed or stretched unpreferably when they are formed.
