In a manufactured article for contact fastener constituted by a textile support, from one side of which hooking elements protrude, for the purpose of anchoring such elements to the textile support, without having to resort to a sizing, the same support is formed by warp chains tied by at least one weft, and the effect yarn lengths constituting the hooking elements, which are interlaced with the warp chains, are blocked by heat-shrunk stitches of said chains. In order to obtain such result, the yarns forming the warp chains are constituted by a raw material having a coefficient of heat shrinking which is considerably larger that that of the weft yarn tying the warp chains. Also a method and an equipment for accomplishing such a textile manufactured article are provided.
Textile manufactured article for a contact fastener, formed by a textile support in which is interwoven at least one effect yarn defining a plurality of hooking elements protruding from one side of the support, characterized in that the textile support is formed by a plurality of warp yarns interlaced in such a way as to form a triplet of warp chains, the warp chains being tied at a plurality of tying points by at least a first weft yarn, the triplet of warp chains defining two side-by-side pairs of warp chains sharing a central warp chain of said triplet, a corresponding effect yarn being interlaced in each of the warp chain pairs in a prescribed path configuration such that each of said effect yarns is tied with an even number of consecutive shrunk stitches alternately formed along each chain of the warp chain pair at said weft yarn tying points, the effect yarns of each of the warp chain triplet extending along said prescribed path a substantially similar distance in the direction of the warp prior to alternating between corresponding warp chains of said warp chain triplet pairs, said warp chains, said effect yarns, and said weft yarn being comprised of yarns, said yarns comprising said warp chains and said effect yarns being constituted by materials having a coefficient of thermal shrinkage which is considerably larger than that of the material constituting said weft yarn.
