Warp knitted ware with reinforcing threads
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A fabric enmeshed by stitched ground ware, comprising:
- a plurality of wales of warp thread stitched by rows;
a plurality of parallel, inlaid weft threads, each laid-in across said wales and between two adjacent rows of stitch loops in said warp thread, said rows of stitch loops being transverse to said warp thread; and
a first and second plurality of diagonally inlaid threads, said first plurality crossing said second plurality, each of the inlaid threads of said first and second plurality running alternatively and repetitively;
(a) between two stitch loops of a corresponding adjacent pair of said wales and (b) between two stitch loops of two successive rows of stitch loops of said warp threads.

Abstract
A warp knitted fabric employs a warp knitted pattern as the ground stitches. In this novel fabric there are reinforcing threads of a substantially rigid material. The weft threads may run parallel to each other and are located between the needle loops of stitch rows that follow each other sequentially in the warping direction. Additionally, there are two sets of diagonal threads both of which run alternatively: (a) between two needle loops of neighboring wales and (b) between two needle loops of successive stitch rows. Laid-in warp threads may be provided between needle loops of adjacent wales. There is thus provided a fabric having higher rigidity in all directions.

10. A method for forming a fabric with warp thread, weft thread and diagonal thread, comprising the steps of:
-
laying-in said weft threads in a given series of transverse rows; laying-in said diagonal thread in a first series of diagonal rows, each crossing said weft threads at an acute angle; laying-in said diagonal thread in a second series of diagonal rows, each crossing said weft threads at an acute angle, the diagonal thread of said second series crossing that of said first series; and stitching said warp thread about said weft and diagonal threads to form a ground ware, said stitching forming spaced stitch loops between the diagonal thread of both said first and second series. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
