Abstract
A compression garment that is easy to slip on/off comprising a compression knitted piece comprising at least one stitch ground yarn and at least one elastic yarn, in particular inlaid yarn, and at least one hairy yarn knitted into the knitted piece so that the knitted piece has, according to all or part of its inner face and of its outer face, hairs projecting from the latter, said hairs being configured so as to be oriented in the direction in which the knitted piece is slipped on and/or off.
Claims21
A compression garment comprising:
- a compression knitted piece comprising an inner face and an outer face, said compression knitted piece comprising at least one stitch ground yarn, and at least one elastic yarn;
- wherein the compression knitted piece comprises also at least one hairy yarn comprising hairs, said at least one hairy yarn being knitted into the compression knitted piece so that the compression knitted piece comprises hairs from the at least one hairy yarn projecting from along all or part of both the inner face and the outer face of the compression knitted piece, said hairs being configured so as to be oriented in a direction in which the compression knitted piece is slipped on and/or off, and wherein the at least one hairy yarn comprises:
- a core comprising at least one core yarn, and at least one hairy-forming yarn anchored in the core of the at least one hairy yarn, wherein the at least one hairy-forming yarn forms sections projecting from the core of the at least one hairy yarn, wherein said sections are distributed along all or part on a length of the core of the at least one hairy yarn, wherein each of said sections comprises:
- a first end section joined to the core of the at least one hairy yarn, and a second free end section, wherein each of said sections forms several hairs, said hairs of all the sections forming the hairs of said at least one hairy yarn.
A method for the manufacture of a compression garment, the compression garment being configured to facilitate slipping the compression garment on and/or off, the method comprising:
- knitting a compression knitted piece with at least one hairy yarn comprising hairs, said compression knitted piece comprising an inner face and an outer face and at least one stitch ground yarn and at least one elastic yarn, said at least one hairy yarn being knitted in the compression knitted piece so that the compression knitted piece comprises hairs from the at least one hairy yarn projecting from along all or part of both the inner face and the outer face of the compression knitted piece, said hairs being arranged so as to be oriented in the direction in which the compression knitted piece is slipped on and/or off, and wherein the at least one hairy yarn comprises:
- a core comprising at least one core yarn, and at least one hairy-forming yarn anchored in the core of the at least one hairy yarn, wherein the at least one hairy-forming yarn forms sections projecting from the core of the at least one hairy yarn, wherein said sections are distributed along all or part on a length of the core of the at least one hairy yarn,
- wherein each of said sections comprises a first end section joined to the core of the at least one hairy yarn, and a second free end section, wherein each of said sections forms several hairs, said hairs of all the sections forming the hairs of said at least one hairy yarn.
A compression garment comprising:
- a compression knitted piece comprising an inner face and an outer face, said compression knitted piece comprising at least one stitch ground yarn, and at least one elastic yarn;
- wherein the compression knitted piece comprises also at least one hairy yarn comprising hairs, said at least one hairy yarn being knitted into the compression knitted piece so that the compression knitted piece comprises hairs from the at least one hairy yarn projecting from along all or part of both the inner face and the outer face of the compression knitted piece, said hairs being configured so as to be oriented in a direction in which the compression knitted piece is slipped on and/or off, and wherein the at least one hairy yarn comprises:
- a core comprising at least one core yarn, and
- at least one hairy-forming yarn anchored in the core of the at least one hairy yarn,
- wherein the at least one hairy-forming yarn forms sections projecting from the core of the at least one hairy yarn, wherein said sections are distributed along all or part on a length of the core of the at least one hairy yarn, wherein each of said sections comprises:
- a first end section joined to the core of the at least one hairy yarn, and a second free end section, and wherein each of said sections forms several hairs, said hairs of all the sections forming the hairs of said at least one hairy yarn, wherein the at least one core yarn is knitted in order to form a longilineal knitted core, wherein the longilineal knitted core of the at least one hairy yarn is one column of pillar stitches in which the hairs are anchored.
