Abstract

A warp-knit cloth for a surface fastener, comprising: a foundation design knitted of pile knitting yarns and foundation yarns so as to form pile loops, which serve as engaging elements of the surface fastener, on wales; a marquisette design in which inlaid yarn extend in the wale direction and course direction so as to form squared meshes, which serve as vents, between said wales.

Claims

1. A warp-knit cloth for a surface fastener, comprising:

(a) a foundation design knitted of pile knitting yarns and foundation yarns so as to form pile loops, which serve as engaging elements of the surface fastener, on wales; and

(b) a marquisette design in which inlaid yarns extend in a direction along said wales and a direction perpendicular to said wales forming course so as to form squared meshes, which serve as vents, between said wales, each said wale providing a plurality of loops between courses.

2. A warp-knit surface fastener cloth according to claim 1, wherein said pile knitting yarns run in a pattern of 1-0/1-1/0-1/0-0/1-0.

3. A warp-knit surface fastener cloth according to claim 1, wherein said foundation yarns run 1-0/0-0/0-1/1-1.

4. A warp-knit surface fastener cloth according to claim 1 wherein one set of said inlaid yarns run in a pattern of 2-2/2-2/1-1/1-1/2-2/2-2/0-0/0-0/1-1/1-1/0-0/0-0, while the other set of said inlaid yarns run in a pattern of 0-0/0-0/1-1/1-1/0-0/0-0/3-3/3-3/2-2/2-2/3-3/3-3.
