Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a double-sided fabric, and particularly to a double-sided fabric stacked with a continuous cord material in a predetermined weaving section.
  • the embedding process of the continuous cord material to be embedded is performed by yarn stitching operations using knitting needles.
  • the continuous cord material may not be reliably stitched by the knitting needle in the yarn stitching process, hence easily resulting in an unsatisfactory fabric. That is to say, when adopting the above technology for embedding the continuous cord material, the length of the continuous cord material cannot exceed 1 inch.
  • the development of fabrics manufactured from the above weaving technology also suffers from severe restrictions.
  • the flat bed knitting machine described refers to a model that includes a front needle bed and a back needle bed. During a weaving process, such flat bed knitting machine is capable of manufacturing not only a single-sided fabric by independently using one of the needle beds but also a double-sided fabric by simultaneously using the front and back needle beds that weave alternately.
  • the U.S. Patent No. 6,151,922A discloses "Method of Knitting Inlaid Fabric and Inlaid Fabric Knitted by the Method".
  • the flat bed knitting machine used includes at least a pair of horizontally extending needle beds arranged in front and back to be opposed to each other across a needle gap and each including a number of needles.
  • Each of the pair of needle beds includes a plurality of knitting needles capable of transferring stitches of loops between the needle beds, and either or both of the needle beds can be racked laterally.
  • the knitting process of knitting the inlaid fabric including a base knitting fabric portion (equivalent to the foregoing base yarn) and the inlay yarn (equivalent to the foregoing continuous cord material) includes steps of: a step that the base knitting fabric portion is knitted; a step that inlay yarn holding loops are formed by retaining loops of the base knitting fabric portion retained by the needles on the first needle bed to said needles on the opposed second needle bed through a split knit process, whereby the loops are retained to the needles on both of the first and second needle beds; a step that the inlay yarn is made to run across the loops retained to the needles on the first and second needle beds; a step that the inlay yarn holding loops retained by the needles on the second needle bed are transferred to the needles on the first needle bed to be overlapped with the loops of the base knitting fabric portion; and a step that a yarn is fed to the needles of the first needle bed to form loops of the next course.
  • the above disclosure further discloses an inlaid fabric knitted by the above method.
  • the inlaid fabric is characterized that, an elastic yarn is used as a base knitting fabric portion and a non-elastic yarn is used as inlay yarn, and the elastic yarn is knitted in its stretched state during the knitting so that the inlay yarn can be formed into a pile-like form.
  • one main purpose of using a non-elastic yarn as the inlay yarn is to maintain a final shape of the inlay fabric.
  • the base knitting fabric portion using an elastic yarn can then be shrunk back to the pile-like form.
  • the needles of one of the needle beds of the flat needle bed machine are applied for weaving the base yarn, whereas the other needle bed is used to transfer stitches of loops that maintain the positions of the inlay yarn after having been transferred. That is to say, instead of being capable of manufacturing a double-sided fabric, the above knitting method is only capable of manufacturing a single-sided fabric. Further, the inlaid yarn of the disclosure cannot be stacked in a predetermined weaving section, and may fail to meet consumer market needs. Therefore, there is a need for a solution for solving the above issues and limitations of the known technologies.
  • the present invention In addition to embedding a continuous cord material in a normal loop stitching process for a double-sided fabric, the present invention further causes the continuous cord material to be stacked in a predetermined weaving section, so as to manufacture a double-sided fabric that appears relief embossed and has different thicknesses to effectively satisfy consumer market needs.
  • the present invention provides a double-sided fabric stacked with a continuous material in a predetermined weaving section.
  • the double-side fabric is woven a face yarn by a flat bed knitting machine, which includes a front needle bed, a back needle bed, and a loop presser bed.
  • the front needle bed includes a plurality of front knitting needles.
  • the back needle beds includes a plurality of back knitting needles at corresponding positions staggered from the front knitting needles.
  • the loop presser bed is above the front needle bed or the back needle bed, and includes a plurality of right-directed weaving pressing pieces and left-directed weaving pressing pieces alternately arranged in gaps of the plurality of front knitting needles and the plurality of back knitting needles, respectively.
  • the double-sided fabric is further embedded with at least one continuous cord material, which is pressed by the plurality of right-directed weaving pressing pieces and the plurality of left-directed weaving pressing pieces into at least one predetermined weaving section to become folded and stacked in the predetermined weaving section.
  • the continuous cord material is guided and fed in from the front needle bed towards the double-sided fabric, and guided towards the front needle bed to depart the double-sided fabric.
  • the continuous cord material is guided and fed in from the front needle bed towards the double-sided fabric, and guided towards the back needle bed to depart the double-sided fabric.
  • the continuous cord material is guided and fed in from the back needle bed towards the double-sided fabric, and guided towards the back needle bed to depart the double-sided fabric.
  • the continuous cord material is guided and fed in from the back needle bed towards the double-sided fabric, and guided towards the front needle bed to depart the double-sided fabric.
  • the predetermined weaving section is formed by front loops and a back loop switched by at least two front knitting needles and at least one back knitting needle in the same weaving process.
  • the predetermined weaving section is formed by a front loop and a back loops switched by at least one front knitting needle and at least two back knitting needles in the same weaving process.
  • the present invention achieves following effects compared to the prior art.
  • the continuous cord material can be embedded into the double-sided fabric, such that the double-sided fabric may offer preferred thickness and piling effect.
  • the continuous cord material may be embedded in the predetermined weaving section, and a double-sided fabric appearing relief embossed and having different thicknesses is manufactured to satisfy consumer market needs.
  • a flat bed knitting machine described in the present invention is a known model (model number: SVR093SP) made by Shima Seiki Mfg., Ltd, Japan.
  • SVR093SP model number: SVR093SP
  • this model is not to be construed as a limitation to the present invention.
  • the flat bed knitting machine at least includes a front needle bed, a back needle bed, a loop presser bed, a carriage above the front needle bed, the back needle bed and the loop presser bed, and a plurality of yarn feeders between the front needle bed, the back needle bed and the loop presser bed.
  • the front needle bed includes a plurality of front knitting needles.
  • the back needle bed includes a plurality of back knitting needles at corresponding positions staggered from the front knitting needles.
  • the loop presser bed is above the front needle bed or the back needle bed, and includes a plurality of right-directed weaving pressing pieces and a plurality of left-directed weaving pressing pieces correspondingly and alternately arranged in gaps of the plurality of front knitting needles and the plurality of back knitting needles, respectively.
  • Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show a partial planar structural schematic diagram and a planar section diagram along X-X according to a first embodiment of the present invention. It is clearly seen from the diagrams that, a double-sided fabric stacked with a continuous cord material in a predetermined section according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is woven from a face yarn 20 by the above flat bed knitting machine.
  • the front needle bed includes a plurality of front knitting needles A to E.
  • the back needle bed includes a plurality of back knitting needles a to f at corresponding position staggered from the plurality of front knitting needles A to E.
  • the loop presser bed is above the front needle bed or the back needle bed, and includes a plurality of right-directed weaving pressing pieces aA, bB, cC, dD and eE and a plurality of left-directed weaving pressing pieces Ef, De, Cd, Bc and Ab correspondingly alternately arranged in gaps of the plurality of front knitting needles A to E and the plurality of back knitting needles a to f, respectively.
