Description

3 R. c. AMIDO N 2,331,289 A PILE FABRIC 4 Oct. 12, 1943.
- Original Filed Au 15, 1938 don ' my a Ami Patented Oct. 12, 1943 UNITED STATE s PATENT or 2,331,289 FICE run FABRIC Roy 0. Amidon, ReadingmPa assignor to Vanity Fair Mills, Inc., a corporation of Pennsyl- Vania 4 Claims. ((21. sis-191$ My invention relates to the art of knitting and it particularly has for its object to provide pile fabric such as plush fabrics or carpet fabrics which shall be substantially stretchless and can be knit on rapid fiat knitting machines without materially slowing down their operations.
Further, it is anobject to provide a knit pile fabric in which is embedded a woven fabric.
Further, it is an object to provide a knit pile fabric in which is embedded a woven fabric which serves as a backing for the pile-loop threads, the said threads underlying the cross-connecting threads or the inlay threads, which tie the rows of loops together, the pile threads not being woven into the sinker-loops or warp-chains but being held in place by the woven fabric, the adjacent warp chains and the cross-connecting threads. 7
Other objects will in part be obvious and in part be pointed out hereinafter.
- To the attainment of the aforesaid objects and ends the invention still further reside in the novel details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, all of which will be first fully described in the following detailed description, and then be particularly pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a magnified, detail face view-of a fab ric according to the invention. Fig. 2 is a detail side elevation, on a larger .scale, of a portion of the structure shown in Fig. 1. I
In the drawing,in which like letters of reference indicate like parts in all the figures, an indicates the threads which are knit into parallel rows of loops w'- and which are connected by cross-connecting threads (or inlays) i. I v The, woven fabric comprises threads .a and b woven together in the usual way.
The pile-loop threads I are, during the process of knitting, laid over the woven fabric and under Of course the. I rows of loops and cross-connecting threads, durthe cross-connecting threads 1'.
. In this application I make no claim to any:
method of making the fabric as various methods may be employed. 7
This application is a refiling of my application Ser. No. 225,004, filed August 15, 1938 and p of my application Ser. No. 372,641 filed December 31, 1940 and allowed April 8, 1941.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, it is thought that the construction, operation and advantages of the invention will be clear to those skilledin theart to which it relates.
What I claim is:
1. A pile fabric comprising a plurality of rows of knit loops embedding a woven fabric, thread cross-connecting said rows, and pile threads lying on one face of the woven fabric and extendthreads and the woven fabric, thereby making it unnecessary to provide a backing sheet cemented to the back face of the fabric as a whole (see Fig.
3 of my Patent No. 2,155,385, issued April 25,
A method of making the pile fabric consistsfin ing up between adjacent cross-connecting thread to form piles. I
2. A pile fabric comprising a plurality of rows of connected knit loops and a woven fabric emrows, said loops lying on one face of the woven fabric and the connecting portions of the thread between the loops lying on the other face of the woven fabric, and pile threads lying over said other face and undersaid connecting thread por- "tions and extending up between adjacent crossconnecting threadto comprise piles.
3. A non-stretchable pile fabric comprising a woven fabric embedded in a knit fabric, the knit fabric including rows of loops located over one faceof the woven fabric and loop-connecting cross-thread located over the other face of the woven fabric, and pfle-loop threads overlying a I face of the woven fabric and underlyingsaid ing cross-thread, and pile-loop threads overlying-a face of the woven' fabric and underlying said cross-thread, portions of said pile-loop threads extending between adjacent cross-thread and constituting piles. v
