Definitions
- the present invention relates to a warp knit complising a plurality of warp yarns chain-stitched to form a plurality of wales for forming a ground weave and at least one pattern-forming yarn knitted into the ground weave, with the pattern-forming yarn having a course-wise knitted portion extending between the wales and relates also to a method of knitting the same.
- the invention relates, more particularly, to art for improving quality of a raschel lace knit.
- a lace knit is considered of superior quality if it has a small thickness at its area in the form of a net where ornamental holes are provided and at the same time it has a large thickness at its area where an ornamental pattern is provided.
- the raschel lace as an example of warp knit is generally considered to be inferior in terms of quality to the so-called leaver lace since the latter allows formation of thicker ornamental pattern thereon.
- the raschel lace has an advantage over the leaver lace in that the former is easier to manufacture than the latter.
- a primary object of the present invention is to provide a warp knit which readily allows increase of the thickness of its pattern-forming area and also a method of knitting the same.
- a warp knit comprises: a plurality of warp yarns chain-stitched to form a plurality of wales for forming a ground weave, and; at least one pattern-forming yarn knitted into the ground weave, with the pattern-forming yarn having a course-wise knitted portion extending between the wales; wherein the warp knit further comprises a thickness-increasing overlay yarn knitted to be laid over the back side of the pattern-forming yam at least over a portion of the course-wise knitted portion thereof, the thickness-increasing overlay yarn having a greater elasticity than the pattern-forming yarn.
- the thickness of the pattern-forming portion of the knit is increased by means of the physical presence of this additional yam.
- the knitting operation will take place with the thickness-increasing overlay yarn being elastically stretched, so that after completion of the knitting operation and upon subsequent release of the knit from the knitting machine, the stretched thickness-increasing overlay yarn will be elastically contracted thereby to bend the pattern-forming yarn adjacent thereto to project proud from the knit surface.
- the thickness of the pattern forming portion is further increased.
- the elastic thickness-increasing overlay yarn is disposed along and adjacent the pattern-forming yarn, when a user touches the pattern-forming area of the knit, the thickness-increasing overlay yarn therein will be elastically stretched in association with the resultant deformation of the bent pattern-forming yarn. Therefore, this warp knit provides good feel also.
- the method comprises the steps of: chain-stitching a plurality of warp yarns to form a plurality of wales for forming a ground weave, and; knitting at least one pattern-forming yarn into the ground weave, with the pattern-forming yarn having a course-wise knitted portion extending between the wales; wherein the method further comprises the step of knitting a thickness-increasing overlay yarn knitted to be laid over the back side of the pattern-forming yarn at least over a portion of the course-wise knitted portion thereof, the thickness-increasing overlay yarn having a greater elasticity than the pattern-forming yarn.
- the thickness-increasing overlay yarn is knitted under a greater tension than that applied to the pattern-forming yarn.
- the thickness-increasing overlay yarn will provide a distinctly strong force of elastic contraction to the pattern-forming yarn. As a result, the thickness of the pattern-forming area of the knit will be further increased.
- the thickness-increasing overlay yarn is knitted on a back side of an entire pattern-forming area of the knit where the pattern-forming yarn is knitted two-dimensionally to form an ornamental pattern.
- the thickness-increasing overlay yarn is provided on the back side of the entire pattern-forming area, the thickness of this entire pattern-forming area may be increased.
- the entire pattern-forming area may be increased in its thickness easily.
- the thickness-increasing overlay yarn is knitted on a back side of a predetermined portion of a pattern-forming area of the knit where the pattern-forming yarn is knitted two-dimensionally to form an ornamental pattern.
- the thickness-increasing overlay yarn is provided a back side of a predetermined portion of a pattern-forming area of the knit where the pattern-forming yarn is knitted two-dimensionally to form an ornamental pattern, the thickness of the predetermined portion of the pattern-forming area may be selectively increased as desired.
- the thickness-increasing overlay yarn is knitted along the course direction to be laid over the entire course-wise knitted portion of the pattern-forming yarn.
- the pattern-forming yarn comprises a liner yarn ranging from 200 denier to 300 denier.
- a plurality of pattern-forming yarns may be knitted two-dimensionally to form a pattern-forming area on a front side of the knit, and said thickness-increasing overlay yarn is knitted to be laid over a back side of at least one or some of the plurality of pattern-forming yarns.
- the pattern-forming area will be formed with using a plurality of pattern-forming yarns. Then, by selecting using yarns of different properties at different locations, the art disclosed by the invention relating to the use of the thickness-increasing overlay yarn may be applied to one or some of these pattern-forming yarns for causing them to bulge proud. Consequently, with use of significantly bulging pattern-forming yarn(s) and no so significantly bulging pattern-forming yarn(s), advantageous variation may be achieved in the ornamental pattern in the knit.
- a plurality of warp yarns 1 e.g. nylon yarns
- a plurality of weft yarns 2 are knitted to interconnect the adjacent wales X so as to form a ground weave having a number of ornamental holes 4 formed between the wales X and the weft yarns 2.
- a desired number of pattern-forming yarns 3 are knitted along the course direction over a required wale-wise distance so as to complete a raschel lace knit L having an ornamental pattern formed two-dimensionally on the surface thereof.
- This raschel lace knit L is an example of a warp knit to which the present invention relates.
- the pattern-forming yarns 3 are knitted simultaneously with the warp yarns 1 and the weft yarns 2 respectively (that is, simultaneously with the formation of the ground weave) so as to form the two-dimensional ornamental pattern-forming area A thereon.
- This pattern-forming area A forms an ornamental design pattern exemplified by a floral pattern shown in the outview of Fig. 1.
- the warp yarns 1 are knitted in the form of chain stitches including a plurality of needle loops 1n and a plurality of sinker loops 1s.
- each weft yarn 2 inserted into a sinker loop 1s of a predetermined wale X is shifted wale-wise by a predetermined distance over a predetermined number of courses and then inserted into a sinker loop 1s of an adjacent wale X.
- this weft yarn 2 is shifted wale-wise and again inserted into the sinker loop 1s of the first wale X and then shifted wale-wise by a predetermined distance over a predetermined number of courses.
- the ground weave is formed.
- each pattern-forming yarn 3 is knitted along the same course between the wales to be inserted course-wise into the sinker loop 1s by a required length and then turned before reaching the next course and then knitted in this new course between the wales to be inserted into the sinker loop 1s again by a required length.
- an ornamental pattern-forming area A of a desired shape is formed two-dimensionally in the ground weave (see Figs. 6, 7 and 8; in Figs. 7 and 8, only some of the wales are illustrated with being denoted with dashed lines).
- the pattern-forming yarn 3 is disposed parallel with the weft yarn 2 (not shown).
- the pattern-forming yarn 3 is not limited to a nylon yarn, but can be any type of yarn suitable for forming a desired ornamental pattern.
- this pattern-forming yarn 3 comprises a liner yarn of 200 denier to 300 denier approximately. Instead, this can be a thick yarn of about 100 denier or a thin yarn of about 50 denier or a glossy yarn of about 150 denier, also.
- the raschel lace knit L according to the essential spirit of the present invention further comprises a thickness-increasing overlay yarn 5 which is knitted along the course direction to be laid over the back side of a portion of or entire pattern-forming yarn 3 (see Figs. 5 and 6), so as to increase the thickness of the pattern-forming area A by elastic contraction of this thickness-increasing overlay yarn 5. More particularly, as shown in Fig. 4, this thickness-increasing yarn 5 is formed of a strand 5b of cotton, nylon, etc., wound spirally about a core 5a comprising a monofilament of polyurethane.
- this thickness-increasing overlay yarn 5 is provided with a greater elasticity than the pattern-forming yarn 3 (greater also than the warp yarn 1 and the weft yarn 2).
- this yarn 5 it is preferred that this yarn 5 be knitted under a greater tension than that applied to the pattern-forming yarn 3.
- substantially same desired effect may be achieved when the thickness-increasing overlay yarn 5 and the pattern-forming yarn 3 are knitted under an equal tension as well.
- the raschel lace L in embodying the raschel lace L as a commercial product, three modes of embodiments are conceivable. Namely, it may be desired to increase the thickness of the entire pattern-forming area A. Or, it may be desired to increase the thickness of only a selected portion of the pattern-forming area A so as to provide variation in the three-dimensional effect of this area A. Further alternatively, it may be desired not to increase the thickness of the area A at all, but desired to cause the peripheral edge of the pattern-forming area to appear in clear contrast to the rest of the knit.
- the "pattern-forming area A” refers to an area of the knit where the pattern-forming yarns 3 are knitted along a common course between the wales (i.e. knitted weft-wise) such that the ground weave is covered with a relatively large number of pattern-forming yarns 3 together forming an ornamental pattern.
- the other portion not covered with the pattern-forming yarns 3 includes ornamental holes of the lace.
- the thickness-increasing overlay yarn 5 is provided along and on the back side of only one of the two pattern-forming yarns 3 (in this, if desired, the thickness-increasing overlay yarn 5 may be laid over only a selected longitudinal portion of the one pattern-forming yarn 3 rather than over the entire yam 3), and in a further pattern-forming area A3 which does not require any thickness increase, as shown in Fig. 8 but requires enhanced visual contrast of the peripheral edge of the pattern-forming area, the thickness-increasing overlay yarn 5 is disposed outside and along the outer periphery of the pattern-forming area A3.
- the peripheral area i.e. a portion of the ground weave, knitted with this yarn 5 will be elastically contracted to "highlight" the pattern-forming area A3 surrounded therein in terms of visual impression and tactile sensation. That is to say, the thickness-increasing overlay yarn 5 need not necessarily be overlapped with the pattern-forming area A, but may be disposed any desired area or portion other than the pattern-forming area A.
- the thickness-increasing overlay yarn 5 in the finished raschel lace knit L, its area where the ornamental holes 4 are present is formed thin as only the warp yarns 1 and the weft yarns 2 are present therein, thereby to provide superior visual cosmetic impression of the lace pattern.
- its pattern-forming area A is formed thick because of the presence of the thickness-increasing overlay yarn 5 laid over the pattern-forming yarn 3 Moreover, this elastic overlay yarn 5 constantly provides a contraction or compression force to the pattern-forming yarn 3 adjacent thereto for bending it to the outside, so that the pattern-forming yarn 3 will be bulged proud over the front side thereof.
- the thickness of the pattern-forming area A formed with the thickness-increasing overlay yarn 5 may be further increased.
- the pattern-forming yarn 3 is bulged by means of the elastic urging force, it, due to this elasticity, can give soft pleasant feel to a user touching it. And, the increased thickness can contribute also to greater softness and flexibility.
- the thickness-increasing overlay yarn 5 is provided only at a limited portion of the ornamental pattern-forming area A as described above, even with using pattern-forming yarn(s) of an equal diameter, depending on presence or absence of the thickness-increasing overlay yarn 5 adjacent thereto, only a portion of the area A incorporating this overlay yarn 5 can be selectively increased in its thickness. In this manner, not only the thickness of the pattern-forming area A, but also its voluminousness, touch-feel, three-dimensional effect and visual impression thereof can be freely set as desired.
- the thickness-increasing overlay yarn 5 comprises a polyurethane yarn of monofilament.
- this yarn 5 can be a multi-filament or yarn of any other material such as isoprene rubber, chloroprene rubber, etc.
- the warp yam 1 and the weft yarn 2 both comprise nylon yarns. Instead, one or both of them can be a polyester yarn, silk yarn, cotton yarn, etc.
- the pattern-forming yarn 3 can be a thick yarn, thin yarn or a glossy yarn, etc. And, its thickness or diameter can be freely selected depending on the necessity or desirability.
- the pattern-forming yarn 3 and the thickness-increasing overlay yarn 5 are knitted along the same knitting pattern for mutual overlap. According to the spirit of the invention, such overlap is essential for the pattern-forming area A alone. Needless to say, in other areas, any knitting-pattern relationship between the pattern-forming yarn 3 and the thickness-increasing overlay yarn 5 may be appropriately or freely selected.. That is, the overlap arrangement should be considered in the unit of this pattern-forming area A. Such overlap need not necessarily be provided over the entire area of the knit.
- the ground weave includes the warp yarns and weft yarns.
- the weft yarn is not essential for the present invention.
- the ground weave may be formed, without using the weft yarns, by traversing, in a selected course, the warp yarn forming a wale to a wale adjacent thereto.
