Abstract

A mattress closing tape formed of a crochet-type warp knitted construction comprises a set of warp yarns knitted in parallel series of lengthwise-extending chain stitches, first and second base filling yarns inlaid widthwise in opposing relation to each other through the chain stitches of the warp yarns to form a base fabric layer, and third and fourth sets of multiple pattern filling yarns inlaid diagonally in opposing relation to one another beneath the underlaps of the warp yarns to form a diamond pattern layer.

Claims

1. A mattress closing taped comprising a set of warp yarns and multiple fillings inter-knitted in a crochet-type warp knitted construction to produce a base fabric layer and a patterned fabric layer.

2. A mattress closing tape according to claim 1, further comprising at least four fillings.

3. A mattress closing tape according to claim 2, wherein two base fillings traverse the full widthwise extent of the tape to form a base fabric structure and two pattern fillings traverse relative to one another to form a predetermined pattern.

4. A mattress closing tape according to claim 3, wherein the base fillings are formed at the technical face of the tape and the pattern fillings are formed at the technical back of the tape.

5. A mattress closing tape according to claim 3, wherein one base filling comprises a single filling yarn, the other base filling comprises a single filling yarn, one pattern filling comprises multiple filling yarns and the other pattern filling comprises multiple filling yarns.

6. A mattress closing tape according to claim 3, wherein the base fillings traverse in opposing mirror-image relation to one another and the pattern fillings traverse in opposing mirror-image relation to one another.

7. A mattress closing tape according to claim 6, wherein the pattern fillings form a diamond pattern.

8. A mattress closing tape substantially as shown and described.
