Claims16
A compressive knitted fabric comprising:
- at least one stitch-forming basic knitting thread;
- at least one inserted and/or knitted elastic weft thread;
- and
- at least one adhesive thread plaited, at least partially, onto the basic knitting thread and forming plush loops,
- wherein the at least one adhesive thread gives the compressive knitted fabric an anti-slip effect,
- wherein the at least one stitch-forming basic knitting thread and the at least one inserted and/or knitted elastic weft thread are knitted to form a basic knitted fabric,
- wherein the at least one adhesive thread forms a plurality of stitches, each stitch of the plurality of stitches forming a segment of the at least one adhesive thread and having a stitch head, two stitch feet and two stitch shanks, wherein the first one of the two stitch feet is formed by a first portion of the segment, the first one of the two stitch shanks is formed by a second portion of the segment, the stitch head is formed by a third portion of the segment, the second one of the two stitch shanks is formed by a fourth portion of the segment, the second one of the two stitch feet is formed by a fifth portion of the segment, wherein the first portion and the second portion are adjacent and continuous, the second portion and the third portion are adjacent and continuous, the third portion and the fourth portion are adjacent and continuous, and the fourth portion and the fifth portion are adjacent and continuous, and
- wherein for each stitch, the stitch head and the two stitch feet are exposed on a first side of the basic knitted fabric and the two stitch shanks are exposed on a second side of the basic knitted fabric, the first side and the second side being opposite sides of the basic knitted fabric, wherein each stitch head formed by the at least one adhesive thread extends beyond the basic knitted fabric and is positioned in front of the basic knitting thread on the first side, and each stitch shank formed by the at least one adhesive thread extend beyond the basic knitted fabric and are positioned in front of the basic knitting thread on the second side.
