Textiler Verschlussstoff des Schlingentyps, Verfahren zu dessen Herstellung und Verfahren zu dessen Behandlung

摘要

A lightweight warp knitted textile fabric suitable for use as the loop component of a hook-and-loop fastener is formed of a set of ground yarns (12) knitted in a relatively stretchable construction with a set of loop-forming yarns (14) formed in a stitch pattern producing elongated underlap loops extending outwardly from the technical back of the fabric which can be readily interengaged with the hook elements of a mating hook component without any necessity for brushing, napping or mechanically raising the loops. In one embodiment, a second set of loop-forming yarns (10) is formed in a stitch pattern producing elongated loops extending outwardly from the technical face of the fabric which can be adhered to a backing material such as a carpet backing. In another embodiment, filling yarn is inserted weftwise in every fabric course. The fabric is preferably finished with a starch application to improve handleability during subsequent processing and, in the case of the second embodiment, a fluorocarbon composition is applied when the fabric will be adhered to a foam carpet backing to restrict foam penetration into the fabric interstices.
