Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a non-run elastic fabric of the type specified in the preamble of Claim 1 and a fabric obtained with said method.
  • fabrics are produced from a plurality of threads arranged according to particular periodic geometries that enable mutual link of said threads and formation of stitches.
  • the characteristics of the fabrics are thus determined by the geometries of the weaves, by the type of the threads, and finally by the dimensions of the individual stitches.
  • non-run elastic fabrics are produced from a plurality of woven threads that develop in a single direction, referred to as warp.
  • Said fabrics are made up of a plurality of different types of threads, in particular substantially rigid threads and substantially elastic threads.
  • Non-run elastic fabrics are used for different applications and in particular for garments or clothes, such as swimsuits, garments for practising sports activities, underwear and so forth.
  • a classic fabric of the type referred to is, for example, the so-called “charmeuse” obtained via the weave of an elastic thread and a rigid thread according to a combination of tricot and double tricot weaves, which bestows elasticity and a high-quality appearance upon the fabric.
  • the fabrics in question are industrially produced by purposely designed weaving machines, with loom of a warp/weft type, which comprise a system for conveying and movement of the threads, which are inserted through the eyelets of purposely provided perforated elements, referred to as "weft takers", and fall on one or more rows of needles, arranged transversely with respect to the direction of the threads.
  • the weft takers and the needles are moved with reciprocating movements, whilst the threads are moved with a continuous motion.
  • the threads present a vertical and descending continuous motion
  • the weft takers, which move the threads further present a longitudinal and transverse reciprocating motion
  • the needles, set underneath the weft takers and interacting with the threads moved by the weft takers present a reciprocating vertical motion.
  • swimsuits produced with known fabrics do not constitute a sufficient barrier to sand, which can penetrate between the stitches and pass through the fabric. Furthermore, they do not present a high resistance to chemical agents, in particular to chlorine compounds, which are frequently used in swimming pools and running water.
  • Said fabrics moreover present long drying times, once again on account of their large thickness.
  • known elastic fabrics have an inhomogeneous elasticity in width and in length and a reduced resistance to "pilling", i.e., to a physical process that leads to the formation of small irregular balls of fibre on the surface of the fabrics.
  • the technical task underlying the present invention is to devise a non-run elastic fabric capable of substantially overcoming the drawbacks referred to.
  • an important purpose of the invention is to produce a non-run elastic fabric having a high resistance to chemical agents and to mechanical stresses.
  • Another important purpose of the invention is to obtain a non-run elastic fabric with a high degree of fineness.
  • a further purpose of the invention is to obtain a non-run elastic fabric with a reduced mass per unit surface.
  • Last but not least aim of the invention is to obtain a fabric that will present a homogeneous elasticity in any direction.
  • the fabric according to the invention is designated as a whole by 1.
  • Said machines are of a known type, marketed, for example, by the German firm LIBA Maschinenfabrik GmbH under the name of Copcentra.
  • said machines comprise a system for conveying and moving the threads, appropriately on beams, which are inserted in two bars of perforated weft takers and conveyed to a bar of needles.
  • the two weft-taker bars are arranged one at the front and one at the rear, and can be moved with rectilinear reciprocating motion in a longitudinal direction and in a transverse direction.
  • each weft-taker bar is conveyed to each weft-taker bar.
  • threads of one and the same type whilst to the two different bars there can be conveyed selectively two different types of threads.
  • the threads fall then in a position corresponding to the needles, around which they can form open or closed stitches.
  • the movement of the thread-conveying system, the reciprocating movement of the needles, and the reciprocating longitudinal movement of the weft-taker bars always remain substantially constant, irrespective of the type of weave, whilst the reciprocating transverse movement of the weft-taker bars is regulated according to the type of fabric. Said movement enables in fact the threads to pass around one or the other needle and form open or closed stitches.
  • the fabric 1 is produced using two different types of threads: a substantially rigid thread 2 and a substantially elastic thread 3.
  • substantially rigid is a thread having a percentage stretch lower than 20% of the total length
  • substantially elastic is a thread having a percentage stretch higher than 80% of the total length
  • the rigid thread 2 is made of materials of a known type; for example, it may be a polyamide multifilament thread; alternatively, it may be made of polyester, polypropylene or some other material.
  • the elastic thread 3 is made of elastic material of a known type, in particular elastomeric polymers, for example, polyurethane. It moreover has appropriately a titre comprised between 22 and 60 dTex and more appropriately between 33 and 44 dTex.
  • the ratio between the linear density expressed in dTex of the rigid threads 2 and elastic threads 3 is appropriately comprised between 0.5 and 0.9.
  • the rigid threads 2 are arranged on the conveying system and on the eyelets of the front weft-taker bar; each weft taker of the front bar is traversed by a rigid thread 2.
  • the elastic threads 3 are arranged on the conveying system and on the eyelets of the rear weft-taker bar; each weft taker of the rear bar is traversed by an elastic thread 3.
  • the threads 2 and 3 are arranged according to weaves determined by the reciprocating movement of the two weft-taker bars.
  • each of which represents a needle in a temporary position of its own.
  • the needles are arranged in horizontal rows (hereinafter “ranks") and vertical rows (hereinafter “lines”).
  • the lines are in actual fact defined by the periodic movement of the threads and of the needles themselves, whereas the ranks are defined by the horizontal positioning of the needles themselves, so that a line of needles represents the periodic positioning of one and the same needle, whilst each rank represents a plurality of different needles.
  • the blank spaces between the lines are numbered with natural numbers from zero to four and represent the positions in which the weft takers arrange the threads.
  • the weft takers can arrange the threads in a circle around a needle so as to form a closed stitch, or according to a non-closed path, so as to form an open stitch.
  • the fabric 1 is obtained starting from a basic portion, which includes a rigid thread 2, represented by a solid line, and an elastic thread 3, represented by a dashed line.
  • the two threads 2 and 3 of a basic portion are arranged in phase; i.e., in each rank they are always arranged on the same needle. Furthermore, the threads 2 and 3 are appropriately always arranged parallel, i.e., they always follow the same identical path and compose on the same needle one and the same type of closed or open stitch.
  • the two threads 2 and 3 are arranged according to a weave having a periodicity of four stitches, in which three consecutive stitches are obtained on different needles.
  • consecutive are meant non-skipped needles.
  • Said weave can comprise closed or open stitches; in particular, of the four stitches envisaged, the closed stitches can vary in number from zero to four, whilst the remaining stitches will be open.
  • Illustrated in Figures 1a-1c is a weave in which closed stitches are envisaged, alternating with open stitches, and in particular the closed stitches are set on the two lateral needles of the three needles.
  • Said weave is defined by a movement of the two front and rear weft-taker bars, which occurs in parallel to enable the described parallel arrangement of the threads 2 and 3, in a position corresponding to the spaces from 1 to 0 in a first rank, from 1 to 2 in a second rank, from 2 to 3 in a third rank, and from 2 to 1 in the fourth rank.
  • Illustrated in Figures 2a-2c is a weave in which closed stitches are envisaged, alternating with open stitches, and in particular the closed stitches are set on the central needle.
  • Said weave is defined by a parallel movement of the front and rear weft-taker bars in positions corresponding to the spaces from 0 to 1 in a first rank, from 2 to 1 in a second rank, from 3 to 2 in a third rank, and from 1 to 2 in the fourth rank.
  • the density of needles per inch is comprised between 40 and 44.
  • Said density of needles and weft takers determines the size of the stitches, and consequently the number of stitches of the fabric and the surface density of stitches.
  • the density of needles per unit of measurement is thus a parameter useful for identifying rapidly a fundamental characteristic of a fabric.
  • the method described can be produced also on different types of weaving machines, provided that the characteristics of the basic portion, of the threads that make it up, and of the surface density of stitches remain the same.
  • the invention achieves important advantages.
  • the solution of using two threads 2 and 3 arranged in phase or in parallel means that the elastic threads 3 do not work in phase opposition and do not cross the rigid threads 2 themselves.
  • the fabric 1 maintains a high resistance also in the presence of sodium hypochlorite precisely by virtue of the practically absent mechanical wear.
  • the basic portion of the weave presents a number of vertical stitches very close to the number of horizontal stitches, and hence a substantially square shape.
  • the above characteristics can lead to manufacturing fabrics 1 that are very fine and light.
  • fabrics 1 are produced having a mass per unit area of 160 g/m 2 , a thickness comprised between 0.25 and 0.80 mm and approximately 50% less than that of the classic charmeuse, with a duration equal to or longer than non-run elastic fabrics of a known type.
  • the fabrics 1 moreover enable, precisely by virtue of their fineness, an excellent coverage and resistance to sand.
  • the fineness described of the stitches that produce the fabrics 1 is such as to prevent sand or other particles from penetrating between the stitches of the fabric or passing through it.
  • the fineness itself moreover enables rapid drying of the fabric 1 and a pleasant sensation to the touch, seeing that the fabric 1 is perceived as a second skin instead of as a foreign body.
  • the fabric 1 moreover has a high transpirability and thus enables optimal dispersion of heat.
  • the fabric 1 moreover has an elasticity that is homogeneous in every direction by virtue of the particular weave of fibres.
  • the fabric 1 has proven very resistant to pilling and curling, i.e., the tendency to roll up and curl. In fact, in appropriate tests dedicated to the two characteristics listed, the fabric 1 always yielded excellent results.
