Abstract
A stretchable woven fabric possessing flexibility, and having high stretchability and a high stretch recovery ratio in a weft direction and a bias direction. The stretchable woven fabric has a multiple weave structure. The multiple weave structure is a weave structure in which a tricot weave structure, which is a double warp weave having a ridge pattern in a warp direction, and a weft-backed structure, are combined with common warp so that wefts of both structures are disposed alternately in a certain arrangement. The number of floats of wefts configuring the weft-backed structure is 3 or more relative to the warp.
Claims15
A stretchable woven fabric having a multiple weave structure,
- wherein the multiple weave structure is a weave structure in which a tricot weave structure and a weft-backed structure are combined with common warp so that wefts of both structures are disposed alternately in a certain arrangement;
- and
- a number of floats of wefts configuring the weft-backed structure is 3 or more relative to the warp;
- wherein the weft is an elastic yarn,
- wherein the tricot weave structure is a double warp weave structure in which the front-side warps and the back-side warps are alternately disposed in a certain arrangement and floats and depressions of the front-side and back-side warps are arranged to be in reverse at a boundary position of the front-side and back-side warps.
