Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A lightweight, narrow, elastic, waistband fabric comprising two sets of warp yarns.
  • the warp yarns of one set are elastic core covered and the warp yarns of the other set are non-covered.
  • the warp yarns are woven in a reverse leno weave with each elastic core covered yarn leno woven with a doup yarn.
  • Adjacent elastic yarns are. on opposite faces of the fabric and the elastic yarns along the longitudinal edges of the leno weave are on the same face of the fabric and are woven in a reverse leno with respect to each other.
  • Waistbands should have the characteristics of preventing rollover of the edge of the apparel, they should be resilient, have desired washing and dry cleaning properties as well as the necessary stretch characteristics. Furthermore, it is desirable that they have aesthetic qualities and when used in summer-weight wear or in many womens garments, childerns garments and the like, they should be lightweight.
  • One set of warp yarns comprises elastic yarns which are either covered rubber core yarns or covered spandex core yarns.
  • the other set of warp yarns comprise yarns other than the elastic yarns mentioned above; that is, they may be texturized yarns, monofilament yarns, multifilament yarns, spun yarns and the like.
  • the warp yarns are woven in a reverse leno weave with each elastic yarn being leno woven with a doup yarn of said other set.
  • Adjacent elastic yarns are disposed on opposite faces of the fabric and the outermost or edge leno woven elastic yarns are disposed on the same face of the fabric and are woven in a reverse leno weave with respect to each other.
  • Preferably monofilament filling yarns are used in the fabric of the present invention and an odd number of filling yarns are woven between each leno crossing of the warp yarns.
  • the outer edges of the fabric be woven with texturized yarns to produce smooth, soft outer edges. This may be accomplished by using one ormore elastic warp yarns and a plurality of texturizedyarns along the outer edges of the fabric. These warp yarnsare woven with the filling yarns in a three-by-one weave togproduce a rounded edge with the edge completely covered by the texturized yarns.
  • FIG. 1 is a view in perspective of a portion of a nar-- row elastic fabric waistband of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged plan view showing the leno weave of the narrow elastic fabric of the present invention
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the outer edge of an embodiment of the narrow elastic fabric waistband
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged plan view of another embodiment of the leno weave of a narrow fabric waistband of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown in these outer edge portions may be constructed differently depending on the desired characteristics of the edge portions.
  • the center portion comprises two sets of warp yarns.
  • One of the sets of warp yarns contains elastic yarns 15, 15', 15" that is, either a rubber yarn on a spandex yarn. These elastic yarns are covered with other yarns such as nylon, polyester, etc. to give the elastic yarn desired fabric properties.
  • the other set of warp yarns or the doup yarns comprises any of the standard yarns l6, 16, 16'' other than the elastic yarns described above.
  • This set of warp yarns may be texturized or stretch yarns, miltifilame-nt yarns, monofilament yarns, spun yarns and the like.
  • the yarns may be made from nylon, polyester, rayon, cotton, etc.
  • the two sets of warp yarns are woven in a reverse leno weave with each elastic yarn 15, 15' leno woven with a doup yarn 16, 16'
  • the twisting thread in the leno weave or the doup yarn is" the nonelastic yarn.
  • the first leno woven elastic yarn 15 has the doup yarn 16 crossing over from the left to the right hand side of the yarn and then back from the right to the left hand side of the elastic yarn.
  • the next elastic yarn 15' has the doup yarn 16' passing beneath the elastic yarn and going from the right to the left hand side and from the left back to the right hand side so that the twisting yarns or doup yarns 16 are in a reverse position or a reverse leno weave.
  • the first elastic yarn 15 is on the back surface of the fabric as seen in the drawing and the next elastic yarn 15' is on the-top surface of. the fabric as seen in the.,drawings.
  • the reverse lenofwoven structure is continued across the width of the fabric with adjacent elastie yarns being a woven so as to be on opposite faces of the fabric.
  • the leno woven warp yarns are woven with filling yarns. It is preferred that the filling yarns be monofilament yarns to provide the necessary stiffness in the widthwise direction of the fabric so that the fabric will be suitable as a waistband and will prevent rollover about the outer edge of the garment to which it is attached.
  • the monofilament yarns may be nylon, polyporpylene or any of the other well-known monofilament yarns.
  • the monofilament filling yarns are woven with the warp yarns in a plain one-by-one weave with an odd number of filling yarns (in this embodiment three), between each reverse or twist of the leno yarns.
  • the outer edges 12 and 13 of the narrow elastic fabric of the present invention comprise one or more elastic yarns of the same type as are used in the center portion of the fabric, and a plurality of texturized yarns.
  • the texturized yarns and the elastic yarns run in the longitudinal or warp direction of the fabric and the texturized yarns are disposed about the greater portion of the periphery of the outermost elastic yarns.
  • the elastic yarns and texturized yarns are woven with the filling yarns in any suitable weave that will hold the filling yarns in place such as a threeby-one weave or the like.
  • the texturized yarns produce a soft, smooth outer edge and cover and bend areas of the monofilament filling yarns which are quite harsh.
  • FIG. 3 there is shown a cross-sectional view of such a desired outer edge with the center yarn 20 being the elastic yarn and the outer yarns 21 being texturized yarns woven alternately with the monofilament filling yarn 22.
  • the number of warp yarns per inch in the body of the fabric will be from about 10 to 30 warp yarns per inch with half of these being elastic yarns and the other half being nonelastic yarns.
  • the number and size of warp yarns used and how many filling yarns are woven between each twist will control the openness and appearance of the final fabric.
  • the preferred filling yarns are monofilament yarns from about 400 to I200 denier usually around the 850 denier range for narrow width fabric of one inch or less and l 100 denier for fabrics having a width of one inch or more.
  • the lower denier yarn does not offer the desired stability and too high a denier yarn is very difficult to bend to make the edge of the fabric and will cause many loom breakdowns.
  • Low denier filling yarns may be used if the fabric is made on a needle loom as opposed to "a1 "st;a'ndard weaving loom. The difference being that m theriedle loom two fillings weave as one filling yarn. As seen in FIG.
  • the needle loom fabric 30 shown in FIG. 4 comprises elastic yarns 31 which are reverse leno woven with doup yarns 32. Adjacent elastic yarns are disposed on opposite faces of the fabric and the outermost leno woven elastic yarns are disposed on the same face of the fabric but are woven in a reverse leno weave with respect to each other.
  • the narrow elastic fabric utilizing the critical essence of the present invention wherein elastic yarns are reverse leno woven with nonelastic yarns and adjacent elastic yarns are on opposite faces of the fabric and the outermost leno woven elastic yarns are on the same face of the fabric but are reverse leno woven with respect to each other has excellent stability even though it is very open and light-weight.
  • the resultant fabric will not rope, is resilient, has stiffness in the widthwise direction and produces an excellent waistband especially for lighterweight garments.
  • the waistband may contact the skin of the wearer.
  • the waistband may have a plush, smooth and soft surface to reduce irritation and be more comfortable.
  • Our new waistbnad may be provided with a plush surface by incorporating synthetic texturized yarns in the center portion of the fabric.
  • the texturized yarns are warp yarns and from one to four or more texturized yarns may be disposed between adjacent leno woven warp yarns.
  • the texturized warp yarns are floated on one surface of the waist-band by weaving these yarns with the filling yarns in a satin weave and floating these yarns over from four to nine adjacent filling yarns and preferably from five to seven adjacent filling yarns.
  • any of the synthetic texturized yarns may be used to produce the plush surface, such as texturized nylon yarns, texturized polyester yarns, and the like.
  • Two warp sets are made to weave a narrow elastic fabric in accordance with the present invention.
  • the fabric is to have a width of approximately 1 /2 inches and one of the warp sets comprises 15 elastic yarns with each yarn having a spandex core of approximately lar to the yarns used in the center portion and eight texturized nylon warp yarns.
  • the two elastic yarns and the eight texturized nylon yarns are woven with the filling yarns in a three-by-one weave with the texturized nylon yarns disposed about the periphery of the elastic yarns.
  • the resultant fabric is open and lightweight. It is very stable and the yarns do not shift or move with respect to one another.
