Definitions

  • ABSTRACT iz j A fabric having a layer of substantially spaced apart design 2890579 6 1959 M 00 A Ux elements which are laid on a cloth substrate, in the warp Mauersberger 66 direction. along nonlinear paths is 615616566.
  • Malimo fabrics typically comprise a layer of substantially parallel warp elements, and a layer of substantially parallel filling elements. By spacing the warp elements, the filling elements, or both, an open mesh fabric may be obtained. The filling elements are affixed to the warp by placing them together and joining them by knitting threads. This structure may be obtained on a machine of the Malimo type, using procedures and apparatus described in US. Pat. Nos. 2,890,579 and 3,030,786.
  • design elements which are substantially spaced apart and are laid on a flexible substrate along paths in the warp direction.
  • the paths taken by the design elements' may belinear or nonlinear.
  • a portion of the design elements may follow linear paths while another'portion mayfollow nonlinear paths.
  • Knitting thread forming a series of loop chains, interlace and bind together the substrate and the design elements into an integral structure. The knitting thread either laps the design element or pierces it at intervals to secure the element to the substrate.
  • the design elements provide the fabric of the present invention with an additional-degree of design flexibility. Many different designs may be obtained by changing the paths along which the design elements are laid, the spacing between the design elements, the nature of the substrate used with the design elements, the portion of the material over which the design elements are laid, and the color and material of the design elements.
  • the basic fabric of the present invention may be designed to provide such diverse fabric end products as draperies, table linens, upholstery andclothing.
  • the'design elements may be arranged to give the fabric a hand-made appearance.
  • The'design elements of the fabric of this invention may be made from any flexible material. the choice of which is determined by the design desired.
  • the elements may be preshrunk, predyed cotton or synthetic yarn, or the design elements may be a narrow plastic ribbon.
  • a plurality of esign elements may be laid on the substrate from a controlled changing oblique direction with one or a plurality of design element carrying units, moving back and forth in a lateral direction.
  • the units move independently from each other, allowing a high degree of control over the design employed. It is recognized, however, that any number of units can be used, with any desired number of decorative yarns per inch, and this also may be varied, depending on the size of yarn and hole in the units.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of one embodiment of the fabric of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a portion of the fabric of FIG. 1 showing the relationship between the elements thereof;
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of a second embodiment of the fabric of the invention.
  • I FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a portion of the fabric of FIG. 3 showing the relationship between the elements thereof;
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view of a third embodiment of the fabric of the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of a portion of the fabric of FIG. 5 showing the relationship between the elements thereof;
  • FIG. 7 is a plan view of a fourth embodiment of the fabric of the invention.
  • FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of a portion of the fabric of FIG. 6 showing the relationship between the elements thereof.
  • Each pair of adjacent loop chains shares two knitting elements, alternate loops of each chain being parts of a first element and the remaining loops being from a second element, in the form of a half tricot stitch;
  • the filling yarns are engaged and held on one side of the fabric by :theloops of the loop chains and on the otherside by the diagonal parts of the knitting elements.
  • the knitting threads lock thevarious components in position relative to one another to form a composite fabric.
  • the design elements have been laid along nonlinear paths which are sawtooth shaped.
  • the apexes of adjacent saw-tooth paths are alternatively contiguous to each otherand spaced "from each other resulting in a diamond pattern over the entire fabric.
  • This diamond effect may be easily obtained by utilizing at least,
  • design elements 2b are laid on a substrate in the form of a layer of filling elements 4 and a layer of warp elements 10 laid on top of the filling.
  • the design elements have been laid along saw-tooth paths, but the paths of the design elements 2b of the fabric shown in FIG. 3 are parallel to each other.
  • the knitting threads 6 connect and lock the warp 10 relative to the design elements 2b and the layer of filling elements 4 by the series of loop chains 8.
  • the design elements 20 are laid on a flexible continuous substrate 12, in particular a woven fabric, in the warp direction along parallel saw-tooth or zig-zag paths, but they are laid on only near the border of the fabric.
  • the design elements 20 may be laid on the fabric along saw-tooth paths which are not parallel to each other to provide a diamond effect near the borders.
  • the design elements need not be restricted to the borders, but when they are so restricted, as shown in FIG. 5, the design renders the fabric particularly suitable for use as a tablecloth.'The embodiment shown in H6.
  • 5 may also be modified by laying a warp of spaced apart filaments on the flexible substrate beneath the design elements to provide a cord-like effect. Still another modification may be made by laying down warp elements on the portion of the flexible substrate which is not beneath the design elements prior to application of the knitting threads.
  • the flexible substrate 12 in the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6 is a woven fabric and in the other embodiments is a layer of warp and/or filling elements.
  • the flexible substrate 12 may be a knitted fabric, a sheet of elastomeric foam of the type disclosed in the- Duhl patents, US. Pat. Nos. 3,274,805 and 3,274,806, a fibrous batting, a paper sheet, or a plastic sheet. Where sheet material is used, it need only be of sufficient strength that it can withstand the piercing by needles required to apply the knitting thread and at the same time maintain its continuous nature.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show an embodiment of the fabric wherein the design elements 2d have been laid on a substrate in the form of a layer of filling elements 4, along sinusoidal-shaped paths which cross each other at a plurality of positions.
  • a pleasing efi'ect results when each of the design elements 2d are made from a yarn which is alternately dyed to a plurality of colors along its length.
  • any of the open mesh fabrics described herein may be made with any of the flexible substrates described above in place of the spaced apart warp or filling elements.
  • a fabric made on a stitch-through type machine such as a Malimo machine comprising a flexible substrate, a plurality of substantially spaced apart design elements laid on the substrate along nonlinear paths in the warp direction, each design element including portions of substantial length extending non-parallel to the warp direction, and knitting thread fonning a series of warpwise loop chains which bind together into an integral structure the substrate and the design elements and which pierce the substrate and pierce the individual design elements at a substantial number of random points to secure the substrate and design elements against relative displacement.
