Abstract
A round braid includes a plurality of warp strands and a binding strand. Each of the warp strands has at least one thread. The binding strand has at least one thread. The binding strand binds a part of the warp strands along an extending direction of the warp strands so as to form a plurality of exposing segments and a plurality of bulging segments on an outer surface of the round braid. The exposing segments are exposing parts of the binding strand and the bulging segments are uncovered parts of the warp strands. The exposing segments and the bulging segments are disposed staggeredly.
Claims6
A round braid, comprising:
- a plurality of warp strands, wherein each of the warp strands has at least one thread;
- and
- a binding strand having at least one thread, wherein the binding strand binds a part of the warp strands along an extending direction of the warp strands so as to form a plurality of exposing segments and a plurality of bulging segments on an outer surface of the round braid, the exposing segments are exposing parts of the binding strand, the bulging segments are uncovered parts of the warp strands, and the exposing segments and the bulging segments are disposed staggeredly;
- wherein the round braid has a plurality of large diameter segments and a plurality of narrow neck segments, and the large diameter segments and the narrow neck segments are disposed staggeredly along the extending direction of the warp strands.
A manufacturing method of a round braid, comprising:
- providing a plurality of warp strands, wherein each of the warp strands has at least one thread;
- providing a binding strand having at least one thread;
- and
- binding the warp strands, wherein the binding strand binds a part of the warp strands along an extending direction of the warp strands so as to form a plurality of exposing segments and a plurality of bulging segments on an outer surface of the round braid the ex posing segments are exposing parts of the binding strand, the bulging segments are uncovered parts of the warp strands, and the exposing segments and the bulging segments are disposed staggeredly;
- wherein in the step of binding the warp strands the binding strand forms a plurality of weft-wise loops along the extending direction of the warp strands so as to bind the part of the warp strands using the weft-wise loops, and the weft-wise loops hook with each other.
