Abstract
A textile with first grouping of yarns separated from a second grouping of yarns, and displacement yarns disposed between the first grouping of yarns and the second grouping of yarns such that the displacement yarns progress in a sinusoidal manner to alternately contact the adjacent displacement yarn.
Claims17
A textile comprising:
- a first set of yarns having a plurality of first yarn subsets and second yarn subsets, the first yarn subsets each including a plurality of individual first subset yarns, and the second yarn subsets each including a plurality of second subset yarns;
- a second set of yarns generally perpendicular to said first set of yarns, said second set of yarns having a plurality of first yarn groupings and a plurality of second yarn groupings disposed apart, the first yarn groupings each including a plurality of individual first grouping yarns being in contact as a group and the second yarn groupings each including a plurality of individual second yarn groupings being in contact as a group;
- wherein the yarns of the first yarn grouping are interwoven with the yarns of the first yarn subset and the yarns of the second yarn grouping are interwoven with the yarns of the second yarn subset;
- further including a plurality of displacement yarns, said displacement yarns running generally perpendicular to said first set of yarns, said displacement yarns being disposed between one of the first yarn groupings and the adjacent one of the second yarn groupings, the displacement yarns further moving sinusoidally between the first yarn groupings and the second yarn groupings such that the displacement yarns alternatively contact the adjacent displacement yarn.

A textile comprising:
- a first set of yarns having a plurality of first yarn subsets and second yarn subsets, the first yarn subsets each including a plurality of individual first subset yarns, and the second yarn subsets each including a plurality of second subset yarns, wherein at least one of said first subset yarns and said second subset yarns comprise elastomeric yarns;
- a second set of yarns generally perpendicular to said first set of yarns, said second set of yarns having a plurality of first yarn groupings and a plurality of second yarn groupings disposed apart, the first yarn groupings including a plurality of individual first grouping yarns being in secured contact as a group and the second yarn groupings each including a plurality of individual second yarn groupings being in secured contact as a group;
- wherein the yarns of the first yarn grouping are provided in groups that number between about two and about five, further wherein said first yarn grouping is interwoven with the yarns of the first yarn subset and the yarns of the second yarn grouping are interwoven with the yarns of the second yarn subset;
- further including a plurality of displacement yarns, said displacement yarns running generally perpendicular to said first set of yarns, said displacement yarns being disposed between one of the first yarn groupings and the adjacent one of the second yarn groupings, said displacement yarns further moving sinusoidally between the first yarn groupings and the second yarn groupings such that the displacement yarns alternatively contact the adjacent displacement yarn.
