TEXTILE SUPPORT FOR REINFORCING CLOTHING OR ITS COMPONENTS, METHOD OF MAKING SUCH SUPPORT AND APPLICATION THEREOF

摘要

The garment interlining fabric (1) has a non woven layer (2) reinforced by one or more knitted layers (2) with floating stitches (3) in floats (4) extending over two or more wales (5). The floats (4) are formed in each row (6) of stitches, or one row in two or more. Each float (4) covers two wales (5) or three or four wales or more. The fabric has a number of short wefts, along the line of the floats, and form part of the stitches. The wefts are mono- or multi filaments, smooth or textured, of natural or synthetic or artificial fibers. A second knitted layer, with floating stitches, has the floats covering at least two wales, placed over the first knitted layer. The yarns in the second knitted layer have a composition and/or thickness which is the same as or different from the yarns in the first knitted layer. The floats in the second layer are the same as or differ from those in the first layer. Textured yarns are of unified multi filaments of 1-35 decitex with 6-150 filaments. The non woven layer (2) is of fibers or continuous filaments of natural materials such as wool or cellulose, synthetic or artificial fibers. The fibers or filaments for the non woven layer (2) have a thickness≥1 decitex, or they are micro fibers or micro filaments with a thickness of≤1 decitex. The non woven layer (2) has a weight of 15-100 g/m<2>. The knitted layers have a stitch density of 2-20 stitches/cm. The knitted yarns are treated in a shrinking stage with a stretch of 4-20% after shrinking. The fabric surface is treated with a heat-setting adhesive. The adhesive is deposited in dots, double dots or lines. An Independent claim is included for a manufacturing process where a non woven layer is reinforced with warp knitting to give at least one knitted layer (3) with floating stitches covering at least two wales. The combined fabric (1) is shrunk, and a heat-setting adhesive is applied to at least one surface.
