Definitions

  • the present invention utilizes warp threads of spaced bunches of elastic threads separated from each other by considerable distance, just as in the fabrics produced before.
  • warp threads of ordinary textile fibers between the successive elastic thread portions of the warp there is provided a plurality of very stiff and springy but fine monofilament threads particularly of polyolefins such as polypropylene, nylon and the like.
  • These warp threads are usually multiple, that is to say a number of individual monofilament threads arranged side by side and close together passing through a single space in the reed.
  • the fabric is woven as before with the elastic threads in a stretched condition.
  • the polypropylene threads are attached first to elastic threads on one side and then in another pick to the threads on the other side.
  • the sprin-gy but fine monofilament warp threads form a sinuous thread which curves from side to side but does not project in loops above or below the surface of the fabric.
  • the nature of the filling thread is less limited by it preferably should be monofilament or at least a thread which has a very smooth and slippery surface so that when the fabric, after having been woven in its stretched condition is allowed to relax, the polypropylene or other warp threads in the spaces between elastic threads can be slipped easily sideways over the smooth and slippery filling threads.
  • Any smooth, stiff filling threads may be used but threads having a very rough surface such as wool threads are in general not suitable. It is also desirable, although not absolutely essential, that the filling threads be comparatively coarse, at least compared to the monofilament warp threads in each space. It should not be thought however that the filling threads are extremely critic-a1.
  • polypropylene as the preferred monofilament yarn for the warp. This does in fact constitute the most desirable material however the invention is not limited thereto and other monofilament materials of similar characteristics may be used.
  • polyethylene It is also possible in some cases to use monofilament nylon or other monofilament yarns which have the desired stiffness.
  • polyolefins and particularly polypropylene are moderate in cost, have a very desirable sheen which produces an attractive fabric and coil themselves easily and uniformly into the desired sinuous curves when the fabric relaxes.
  • the elastic warp threads of the present invention may be of any suitable type.
  • covered rubber or spandex threads may be used, multifilament stretch nylon and the like. These are all common materials, their properties in elastic fabric are known and it is an advantage of the present invention that any of the known forms of elastic warp threads may be used.
  • FIG. 1 is an elevation of a narrow elastic woven fabric in relaxed condition
  • FIG. 2 is a similar view of elastic in the stretched condition
  • FIG. 3 is a detailed view showing the position of the filling thread in the fabric.
  • Example 1 A web is prepared on a loom with 22 dents in the reed to form 21 spaces, 9 spaces contain the elastic warp threads of covered rubber or spandex together with some ordinary textile warp threads such as cotton, rayon, etc. and 12 spaces in between contain one or more monofilament polypropylene threads parallel to the warp threads.
  • the warp is shown in FIG. 2 with elastic warp threads stretched to a predetermined, but substantial, limit and the polypropylene monofilament threads, which are substantially smooth, are under sufiicient tension to keep them straight.
  • the webbing is then woven conassumes the form shown in FIG. 1.
  • the mass of the warp material is in 43 of the reed spaces a and the monofilarnent polypropylene which constitutes only of the warp is contained in 57% of the reed spaces.
  • the monofilament polypropylene threads are therefore spaced 2. very substantial distance from the successive elastic threads.
  • FIG. 2 of the drawings in which the elastic threads are shown at 1 the straight polypropylene warp threads at 2 and the polypropylene filling threads at 3.
  • lelaim 1. :An elastic fabric comprising, (a) relatively widely spaced elastic warp thread elements having atleast one elastic thread each,
