Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to fabrics for forming sleeves for receiving and protecting elongated items such as wiring harnesses and optical fiber cables, and more particularly to warp knitted self-curling fabrics therefor.
  • Protective sleeving is used throughout the automotive, marine and aerospace industries to organize and protect elongated items, such as wiring harnesses and optical fiber cables, for example.
  • the sleeving surrounds the elongated items and protects them against cuts, abrasion, radiant heat, vibration induced wear and other harsh environmental threats.
  • the wiring or cables are also held together in a neat bundle, allowing a multiplicity of different items to be handled as a sub-assembly, thus saving time and effort during integration of the items into its end environment.
  • Protective sleeving may be made by weaving or knitting filaments into a substrate and then resiliently biasing the substrate into a tubular form to define a central space for receiving the elongated items. Biasing may be effected by heating the filaments when the substrate is wrapped about a cylindrical mandrel, wherein the filaments take on a permanent set conforming to the shape of the mandrel. In addition, filaments can also be resiliently biased into a curved shape by applying chemicals thereto, as well as by cold working. 710240-3958 2
  • monofilaments are typically oriented in the "hoop" or circumferential direction of the tube.
  • Monofilaments provide excellent stiffness and provide strong resilient biasing that maintains the substrate in the tubular shape.
  • the biased monofilaments also tend to restore the substrate to its tubular shape in the absence of a distorting force, which is generally applied when the sleeve is manipulated to an open state to insert or remove an elongated item.
  • a significant disadvantage associated with sleeves that are biased into a tubular shape is that the biasing is effected by a separate step in the process of making the sleeve.
  • the filaments comprising the substrate may be biased by cold working before manufacture of the sleeve or may be biased afterward by heating the substrate when wrapped about a mandrel, but these actions constitute an additional process that adds to the cost and the time required to produce the sleeve. Accordingly, it would be advantageous to be able to manufacture a tubular sleeve from a substrate that negates the need for secondary processes to impart the tubular shape on the substrate.
  • the invention concerns a knitted self-curling fabric having warp stitches and a plurality of weft stitches.
  • the fabric comprises a chain stitch of a first multi-filament yarn forming the warp stitches, a lay-in stitch of a second multi-filament yarn forming one of the weft stitches and a tricot stitch of a monofilament forming another of the weft stitches.
  • the tricot stitch is positioned predominantly on one face of the substrate.
  • the tricot stitch is knitted under tension and biases the substrate into a self-curled configuration about a central space. To facilitate imparting the bias, the tricot stitch is preferably knitted as a satin stitch.
  • Another embodiment of a self-curling fabric according to the invention comprises a chain stitch of a first multi-filament yam forming the warp stitches, a first tricot stitch of a second multi-filament yarn forming one of the weft stitches and a second tricot stitch of a monofilament forming another of the weft stitches.
  • the second tricot stitch is positioned predominantly on one face of the fabric.
  • the second tricot stitch is knitted under tension and biases the fabric into a self-curled configuration about a central space. 710240-3958 3
  • Yet another embodiment of a self-curling fabric according to the invention comprises a first chain stitch of a first multi-filament yarn forming the warp stitches, a second chain stitch of a second multi-filament yarn also forming the warp stitches, a lay-in stitch of a third multi-filament yarn forming one of the weft stitches and a tricot stitch of a monofilament forming another of the weft stitches.
  • the tricot stitch is positioned predominantly on one face of the fabric.
  • the tricot stitch is knitted under tension and biases the fabric into a self-curled configuration about a central space.
  • Another aspect of the invention provides a method of fabricating a self- curling sleeve having a longitudinal axis extending between opposite ends.
  • the method includes warp knitting a plurality of warp yarns and a plurality of first weft yams together, and inserting a plurality of second weft yarns with the warp yarns and the first weft yarns during the warp knitting step.
  • the second weft yarns cause the first weft yarns to curl about the longitudinal axis.
  • the embodiments described above may further comprising a filamentary member knitted with the warp and weft stitches.
  • the filamentary member may be positioned predominantly on one face of the substrate and be a heat fusible yarn, an electrically conducting yarn, a thermally insulating yarn, an abrasion resistant yarn, and combinations thereof for tailoring the sleeve to perform a particular function in addition to protecting and bundling of the elongated items.

  • Figure 2 illustrates an elongate protective sleeve 12 constructed in accordance with another presently preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the sleeves 10, 12 are only representative of some presently preferred sleeve constructions, and thus, the invention is not limited to these embodiments.
  • the sleeves 10, 12 are formed from a self-curling knitted substrate 14 that self-curls upon being knitted about a longitudinal axis 16 of the sleeves 10, 12 to define a generally enclosed and protected central space 20.
  • the knitted substrate referred to hereafter as fabric 14 unless specifically stated otherwise, has opposite selvages, referred to hereafter as free edges 18, which either extend parallel to the axis 16 (the so-called "cigarette" wrap construction) or in a helical path about the axis 16.
  • both sleeves 10, 12 provide the central space 20 that receives elongated items 22 to be protected, such as a wiring harness or optical fibers, for example.
  • the free edges 18 are unbound, and thus, can be opened by applying a force sufficient to overcome the self- curling biasing force imparted by the fabric 14. As such, the free edges 18 can be unwrapped in spaced relation to one another to an open position.
  • the elongated items When the free edges 18 are in their unwrapped position, the elongated items can either be disposed into the central space 20, or removed therefrom. Upon inserting or removing the elongated items, the applied external force separating the free edges 18 in spaced relation from one another can be released, whereupon the free edges 18 return to their naturally biased, self-curled position, wherein the free edges 18 preferably overlap one another to enclose the central space 20. 710240-3958 5
  • the fabric 14 of the sleeves 10, 12 can be made through weft insertion of filaments during warp knitting, or also by warp knitting alone, to produce the force imbalance necessary to induce the fabric 14 to self-curl.
  • the fabric 14 is knitted, preferably using crochet techniques, wherein the movement of needles and guides is horizontal, such as on an Acotronic 400 Crochet machine, for example.
  • the fabric 14 is knitted as a crochet flat knit structure that self-curls into the tubular sleeve 14 upon release of the yarns from the knitting needles.
  • the sleeve 14 takes on its tubular shape wherein the free edges 18 are arranged in overlapping relation with one another without need for secondary processes, such as heat setting, for example.
  • the fabric 14 is preferably warp knitted with the warp-wise direction being substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 16 and the weft- wise direction being substantially perpendicular to the warp-wise direction.
  • the fabrics 14 are formed using a combination of filamentary members including both multi-filament yarns and monofilaments.
  • the multifilament yarns are generally the basis of the knit fabric 14 and provide flexibility to the fabric 14 and form the basis for coverage of the elongated items 22.
  • the monofilaments are generally stiffer elements and are knitted under tension, with the tension preferably being maintained constant throughout the knitting process, such that the tension on the monofilaments is greater than any balanced tension imparted on the multifilament yarns.
  • the tension imparted by the monofilaments provides a bias affecting the self-curling characteristics of the fabric 14.
  • the one face 24 on which the monofilaments are located becomes an inwardly facing concave surface 25 of the sleeve 10, 12.
  • Each stitch diagram represents a separate bar on the crochet knitting machine that carries a plurality of yarns or monofilaments knitted in the stitch that is illustrated.
  • two bars carry multi-filament yarns which form the warp stitches and weft stitches that provide the basic foundation for the fabric 14.
  • the knitting tensions are preferably balanced for these multifilament yarns to prevent deformation of the resulting fabric 14, and thus, these knitted multifilament yarns would generally form a flat fabric if not for a monofilament stitch which is knitted under an increased tension from a third bar.
  • the third bar carries the monofilament, which, as mentioned, is knitted under an increased tension relative to that of the multifilament yarns, with the tension being closely controlled and maintained under a generally constant preload throughout the knitting process.
  • the third bar introduces the monofilament predominantly on one face 24 of the fabric 14 so that the increased tension on that face 24 biases the fabric 14 into the self-curled, tubular shape.
  • the third bar traverses in a pattern moving from the left side of a first needle to the right side of a final needle on the machine. This action is replicated on every weft insertion eye over the entire width of the fabric 14.
  • the traversing third bar produces a herring bone pattern on the face 24 of the fabric 14 having the monofilament stitches.
  • the monofilament Due to the traversal under tension, the monofilament is elastically stretched under a preload, and thus, energy is stored in the monofilament.
  • the energy stored by the preload tension is released, thus, allowing the associated monofilament to resiliently pull inwardly and assume its unstretched length.
  • the monofilaments cause the remaining multifilament yarns to be pulled conjointly therewith, thus, causing the multifilaments to be curled about the longitudinal axis 16 of the sleeve 10, 12, wherein the warp-wise multifilaments predominately form an outer convex surface 27 of the sleeve 10, 12, while the weft- wise monofilaments 30 predominately form the inner concave surface 25 of the sleeve 10, 12.
  • FIG. 3 schematically illustrates the yarns and stitches used to construct Fabric Example 1.
  • the fabric 14 has one yarn is knitted with a (4-1, 4-1) lay-in stitch 26 over four needles on a first bar, another yarn is knitted with a (2-1, 2-1) closed chain stitch 28 on a second bar, and another yarn is knitted with an (5-4, 1-2) or (4-3, 1-2) open 710240-3958 SY-40238 tricot satin stitch 30 on a third bar of a knitting machine (not shown).
  • the laying-in stitch 26, also referred to as lay-in or laid-in stitch, and the chain stitch 28 are knitted under a generally balanced tension relative to one another, while the open tricot stitch 30, and preferably a satin or super-satin tricot stitch, is knitted under an increased constant tension relative to the laying-in and chain stitches 26, 28, thus, imparting a self-curling bias on the resulting fabric 14.
  • multifilament yam of 350 denier formed of PET filaments was used for the laying-in stitch 26, and multifilament yarn of 350 denier and formed of PET filaments was used for the closed chain stitch 28, which forms the basis of the outer convex surface 27.
  • the open tricot stitch 30 was formed of 10 mil PET monofilament, and forms the basis of the inner concave surface 25. These yarn sizes are only by way of example, and thus, it should be recognized that the sizes could be different, depending on the application.
  • This example has strong self-curling tendencies and was producible in a range of sizes from about 4-38mm in diameter.
  • This example embodies the classical crochet techniques and tends to have less end fray when cold-cut due to the effect of the closed chain stitch 28 which locks the multifilament laid-in yarn 26 and the monofilament open tricot stitch 30 into the fabric 14. The reduced end fray is also facilitated by the open tricot stitch 30, which results in less yarn being cut in a comparable unit area than if a closed tricot stitch were used.
  • the plurality of closed chain stitch yarns 28 may comprise one or more monofilaments in place of some of the multi-filament chain stitch yarns over a plurality of wales 29, thereby creating one or more wales of close chain stitch monofilament yarns extending along the length of the sleeve fabric 14.
