Definitions

  • the present invention overcomes the disadvantages :as set out above by preparing a tubular weave in which some, in fact the majority, of warp threads are very soft textile threads and constitute the warp threads for the back of the tubular weave.
  • the front presents an attractive pattern with a very stiff monofilament filling held in place with periodic pairs of leno ends.
  • the numerous soft textile warp threads forming the back of the tubular weave protect the skin against the harsh, stiff weft threads without in any way detracting from the attractive designs which can be formed in the front face.
  • the Weave is a tubular weave, but is flattened with an occasion-al binding thread so that the back and front are locked together.
  • the appearance of the fabric is, therefore, that of a two-layer weave although, as pointed out above, actually the weave is in the form of a tubular weave, the tube being flattened and bound or stitched together at intervals.
  • selvages are woven in and might be thought of as effectively stitching together the outer edges of the tube, although of course the effect is ⁇ produced in the weaving itself and not by subsequent stitching.
  • the invention is not limited thereto, it is preferable to provide a reasonable number of spaced elastic warp threads which are preferably part of the warp threads which form the front surface of the tubular weave. In a preferred aspect of the present invention ⁇ such elastic weaves are included.
  • the stiff, hard, monofilament weft thread weaves in the back part of the tube more or less regularly and constitutes a back pick.
  • the pattern lappearing on the face of the fabric is produced by face picks alternating with the back picks, weaving through the face warp ends.
  • the stiff monolilament weft threads on the face picks float across the surface between the leno warp threads. The number of floats depends on the number of face picks between crossings of the leno warp ends. This permits the weaving of a number of different attractive patterns. In Aeve-ry case, however, the uniform soft-warp-thread rear layer of the tubular weave protects against, any harsh feeling or hand of this reverse side.
  • the stiff weft threads may be of any type, such as monolaments, monofilament, coated spun threads, etc.
  • Monofilament threads are preferred and may be of any desired chemical constitution, for example polyvinylidene chloride, polyoleiins such as polypropylene, monofilament acrylics, polyamides and the like. It is an advantage of the invention that even when all of the threads are white, an attractive ⁇ design is produced; but the invention is in no sense limited thereto and attractive designs can be formed with colored weft threads.
  • white warp threads are more or less standard.
  • rubber warp threads When rubber warp threads are interspersed with the other warp threads and appear in the front surface of the tubular weave, they may be of any well known type, covered or uncovered.
  • the core may be rubber, spandex, or any suitable elastic material. It is also possible to include core spun elastic warp threads, though for most uses the more common covered elastic threads are preferred. The fact that other less common forms of elastic warp threads may be used is, however, an advantage of the present invention and contributes to its Versatility.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of the front surface with representative warp threads sufliciently separated so that the weave pattern as a whole is presented;
  • FIG. 3 is a lengthwise cross section showing a few of the different warp threads, including one leno warp thread.
  • FIG. 1 there are only shown a few of the representative warp ends, particularly in the case of the ends which form the ba-ck of the fabric.
  • the drawings are intended to represent the preferred or best form of the invention, there will be described a fabric with a number of elastic warp ends woven in a stretched condition so that on relaxation the soft back warp ends can fluff up to make a softer hand at the back of the weave.
  • fluffng out does not show.
  • the effect of the stretch'weaving is well known in the art and the flufling out of soft textile warp ends is so conventional that no specific representation of this effect is shown.
  • FIG. 1 shows a plan view of the fabric after weaving and relaxation of tension. Forty-eight representative warp ends are shown numbered 2 to 49 consecutively from left to right. Back ends of soft textile threads are shown in two groups. The group of ends 6, 9, 1:2, 19, 21, 24, 32, 34, 38, 40 and 45 all weave the same. The second group of back ends 8, 10, 14, 18, 20, 26, 30, 37, 39, and 43 also weave the same, but not the same as the first group.
  • Face ends are also in two groups each group weaving the ⁇ sameI but the two groups weaving different from each other.
  • the first group is made up of ends 7, 13, 33 and 44 and the second group of ends '5, 27, 31 and 46.
  • edge ends There are also illustrated four edge ends, of which 2 and 48 weave the same and 3 and 49 weave the same. Rubber ends, which are covered, 4, 15, 28 and 47 all weave the same as does the stuffer end 29. Face stitch ends 11 and 25 all weave the same.
  • the weft thread is stiff monofilament and the picks are numbered 50 to 77.
  • the even numbers represent weaving the back of the fabric, which is in a plain weave, and the odd numbered picks weave the face of the fabric.
  • FIG. 1 the weft threads in the portion of the picks where they float between the leno ends are shown in solid black as indicated at 1. This brings out, as well as can be done inV two dimensional monochrome, the appearance of Vthe face of the weave.
  • FIG. 2 l is an end view of the fabric from the bottom of FIG. 1 and shows very clearly the tubular nature of the weave and also shows the floats 1 which, as in FIG. l, are shown in solid black.
  • the separation of the planes of the face warp ends and the back warp ends has been greatly exaggerated, in the actual fabric these two planes are quite close together because the face and back are stitched together as has been described above.
  • FIG. 3 is a section taken between ends 15 and the leno pair 16 and 17. This section is taken looking to the right and only a few of the representative different kinds of warp ends are illustrated, thus the edge ends 48 and 49 appear as do a pair of backing ends 18 and 19. There is also shown one typical face end 27, a rubber end 28, and one of the face stitch ends 25. The plain weave of the backing appears clearly following ends 18 and 19 and it will also be seen that end 28 and the leno end 17 produce a plain weave on the face of the fabric. The stitching effect of the edge ends is also clearly shown as well as the stitching lof the stitch end 25, the stitching .point appearing clearlyin FIG. 3 at the weft threads 55 to 57. As in FIG. 2 this spacing of the planes of face and back ends is greatly exaggerated for clarity.
  • the fabric illustrated which is a suitable webbing for brassiere s-traps, belts, and the like, and which shows two groups of weft oats, is not intended tolimit the invention. There may be any even number of paired leno ends. However, the four pairs illustrated produce a pleasing symmetrical design.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 a single stiff weft thread has been illustrated. It will be obvious to those skilled in the weaving art that more than one weft thread may be used, which permits designs with contrasting colors. The general nature of the fabric is not thereby changed. It is still tubular with a soft back, but of course the appearance of the face with multicolored separate weft threads can be made quite different. It is an advantage of the present invention that the important desirable features of the tubular weave with soft back can ⁇ be made into a number of different designs. This added flexibility is a practical advantage of the present invention.
  • a tubular leno Iweave fabric comprising in cornbination a relatively large number of soft textile warp threads for the back of the tubular weave, a smaller number of face warp threads for the face of the tubular weave, the face warp threads including spaced leno warp threads, the leno warp threads weaving only in the face, stiff, coarse, weft threads woven to produce a substantially simple close weave on the back of the tube and a designed face weave with the leno warp ends and others, groups of the weft threads between leno pairs appearing as relatively long floats on the face surface.
  • a tubular leno weave fabric according to claim 2 in which the face warp ends include elastic warp ⁇ ends and the fabric is woven in stretched condition and relaxed whereby the soft textile warp ends forming the back of the fabric bunch up to increase the softness of feel of the back of the fabric.
  • a tubular leno Iweave fabric according to claim 1 in which the edge warp threads and at least one warp thread between the edges stitch the face and back of the fabric together at predetermined points longitudinally to form a llat, stitched-together, tubular fabric.
  • a tubular leno weave fabric according to claim 5 in which the face warp ends include elastic warp ends and the fabric is woven in stretched condition and relaxed whereby the soft textile warp ends forming the back of the fabric bunch up to increase the softness of feel of the back of the fabric.
  • a tubular leno weave fabric according to claim 1 in which a plurality of different weft threads are present and at least the weft threads weaving the face of the fabric are in more than one color.
  • a tubular leno weave fabric according to claim 3 in which a plurality of different weft threads are present and at least the weft threads weaving the face of the fabric are in more than one color.
