US 6,477,865 B1 · Three-dimensional marquisette style knitted fabric

Abstract

The invention is aimed to provide a three-dimensional marquisette-like knitted fabric, that is good in air retainability, air and water conductibility, light transmittance, as well as dimensional stability and shape retainability in the knitting and knitting-width directions, and in linearity; and has unevenness and slippage preventing property on its surface, thus being suitable in various uses. To this end, a three-dimensional marquisette-like structure is made as follows. A double-web knitted fabric is made by warp knitting, and is preferably comprised of the front and back mesh webs (1, 2) and connecting yarns (3) passed between the mesh webs alternately. At least one of the mesh webs (1, 2) has a marquisette-like construction formed by the rows of chain stitches (11, 21) and inlay yarn (5). In addition, connecting yarns (3) for connecting the mesh webs (1, 2) is shifted knitting-width-wise by at least one wale to be passed as slanted at every required course position corresponding to the marquisette-like construction of at least one of the mesh webs.
