PCT No. PCT/EP96/05476 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 28, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 28, 1998 PCT Filed Dec. 6, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/20977 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 12, 1997A patterned float plated fabric composed of courses incorporates at least two plating yarns dominating alternating patterned sections of the fabric with the floats of their float plated portions, such that a ground fabric is composed from sections of plain courses formed complementary from one of the at least two plating yarns and such that sections of plain ground fabric courses are connected together by at least one stitch formed from the yarns forming the ground fabric of the adjacent patterned sections. Additionally, a process for forming the patterned float plated fabric includes holding down the fabric with a lower throat of a sinker; raising portions of needles to a clearing position; feeding first plating yarn to the raised needles; arranging the sinkers such that their lower looping ledge is between the needles, retracting the needles to an lower intermediate position. Thereafter the following succession of steps is repeated at least one: actuating the sinkers to control the loops and floats; raising portions of the needles to a clearing position; feeding a second plating yarn to the raised needles; retracting the needles to an upper intermediate position forming loops and floats; retracting the sinkers to a lower intermediate position; and retracting all needles from the lower intermediate position so as to knit a new float plated course.
