Warp knitted fabric and method of manufacturing same

A method of manufacturing a warp knitted fabric comprising:

• knitting a denbigh stitch texture or a cord stitch texture by supplying a base yarn by a front guide bar by a warp knitting machine having at least two guide bars;
• supplying an insertion yarn by a guide bar rearward of the front guide bar to knit an insertion texture;
• knitting the base yarn supplied by the front guide bar by underlapping in a knitting width direction by one or more needles and overlapping the base yarn to said one or more needles so that the base yarn is hooked around said one or more needles;
• and
• knitting the insertion yarn by underlapping in said knitting width direction by a same number of said one or more needles as for said underlapping of the base yarn, wherein said knitting of the insertion yarn is without looping said insertion yarn, thereby exposing the insertion yarn at a sinker-loop-side surface of the warp knitted fabric intermittently in a warp direction;
• and
• wherein one or a plurality of courses of portions where the insertion yarn supplied by the guide bar rearward of the front guide bar is underlapped and inserted, and one or a plurality of courses of knitted portions where loops are formed at the respective courses and engaged by knitting are knitted repeatedly and alternately in the warp direction.

A method of manufacturing a warp knitted fabric having a base texture and an inserted texture configured to reduce dampness in response to sweating by a person in contact with the warp knitted fabric, the method being performed with a knitting machine, the method comprising:

• knitting at least a portion of the base texture using a plurality of base yarns, a plurality of needles arranged in parallel in a width direction, and a front guide bar located at a front side of the knitting machine, said front side being farthest from said plurality of knitting needles at a time of performing an underlapping operation, said portion of the base texture being a denbigh stitch texture or a cord stitch texture, wherein a stitch of said base texture is formed by a first base yarn of said plurality of base yarns by overlapping said first base yarn so as to be hooked on a needle at one end of a course of underlapping of said first base yarn in a left direction or a right direction relative to the front of the machine, said underlapping occurring alternately in said left direction and said right direction from one course to another course of the base texture for every course formed by said first base yarn of said portion so as to form a plurality of stitches in said portion by said one base yarn, said underlapping comprising underlapping said first base yarn for a series of said plurality of needles so as not to be hooked on a needle of said plurality of needles, said series comprising a first number of said needles greater than one needle;
• and
• knitting the inserted texture using a plurality of insertion yams, said plurality of knitting needles and a second guide bar located rearward of said front guide bar, wherein each one insertion yarn of said plurality of insertion yams is inserted to said base texture by underlapping said one insertion yarn to a left direction and a right direction relative to the front of the machine alternatively from one course to another course of the inserted texture for a sequence of courses of said one insertion yarn, said underlapping of said one insertion yarn comprising underlapping said one insertion yarn for a series of said plurality of needles, said series comprising said first number of said needles, wherein following a sequence of insertions of said one insertion yarn formed over said sequence of courses, said one insertion yarn is inserted without underlapping so as to span across a plurality of courses of said base yarns;
• and
• wherein said forming of said inserted texture by inserting said one insertion yarn along said sequence of courses exposes said one insertion yarn at a sinker-loop-side surface of the warp knitted fabric intermittently in a warp direction, wherein for a portion of the warp knitted fabric where said one insertion yarn is inserted without underlapping so as to span across said plurality of courses of said base yarns said one insertion yarn is hidden from a sinker-loop-side surface of the warp knitted fabric in said warp direction;
• wherein said sequence of inserting by underlapping formed over said sequence of courses and said inserting of said one insertion yarn without underlapping spanning across said plurality of courses of said base yarns alternate repeatedly in said warp direction;
• and
• wherein said inserted texture is held to the base texture alternately and intermittently in said warp direction by said insertion of said one insertion yarn with underlapping and by said insertion of said one insertion yarn without underlapping.
