Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1043436A1] The loop knit lightweight fabric has a base of warps or wales of stitches (8,9) to form a network of wales parallel to each other, held together by wefts (6). The loops (14), knitted into the base material, each have two feet (12,13) knitted into the b material and their legs form the loops. The bond between the wefts (6) and the wales (8,9) is formed by initially knitting a sti of a leading wale (11) following a bonding weft, and then a second stitch (7) at a second wale (8) following a bonding stitch. T there is a third stitch (15) of a third wale following a second weft, and a fourth stitch (9) of a fourth wale (8) following a bonding stitch and a fifth stitch (10) which matches the first stitch of a cycle which follows a weft insertion. The second and fourth wales are part of the network forming the base fabric, between the first and third wales. The two feet of a loop are knit into the second and fourth stitches respectively. Each wale of stitches is formed by a cycle of four stitches. They are formed alternately where two stitches are moved by th needles in a right/left or left/right direction, while the other two stitches are moved in the opposite directions. The second ( and fourth (9) stitches are at the same wale, where the second and fourth wales form the same single wale (8), separated from ea other by a stitch which corresponds to a first (10) and third (15) stitch in the weft cycle. Each loop (14) has a foot (12) knit into a second stitch with a needle bar movement to the peak of cast-off, where the needle is between two of the consecutive thir stitches at a min. gap between the wales of third stitches. The other foot (13) of the loop is knitted into a fourth stitch at t other side, similar to the first. The knitting and weft yarns have a thickness of 1-60 dtex, and pref. 12-45 dtex, such as wefts 22 dtex and knitting yarns of 12 dtex. The loop yarns have a thickness of 30-60 dtex, such as 44 dtex.
