Abstract:
Resin infusion medium and reinforcing composite lamina textile constituted by a warp knit open work structure (6) produced in the form of polygons (9) of which at least some of the edges (1 1) are defined by knops (10) such as to give prominence to the design to provide for fluidic channels, the knops (10) being knitted to be sufficiently non-compressible in order to resist collapse of the fluid channels during compression of the composite preform (5, 6) under vacuum induced process pressure.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a unidirectional reinforcement and a method of producing a unidirectional reinforcement. The unidirectional reinforcement of the present invention may be used in all such applications where high quality and strength is required. The unidirectional reinforcement (2, 4) of the invention comprises transversely arranged thin discrete flow passage forming means (6) for ensuring good resin flow properties in a direction transverse to the direction of the unidirectional rovings.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing knitwear formed at least partially as single jersey knitwear with a perforated structure, and to a functional textile which is based on knitwear formed at least partially as single jersey knitwear with a perforated structure. The problem addressed by the present invention is that of providing a knitting method which permits the production of knitwear which, firstly, has very fine knitting stitches and, secondly, perforated structures with relatively large holes, and therefore said knitwear meets, for example, the demands imposed on textiles used in sports articles or underwear. Furthermore, a corresponding functional textile is intended to be provided by the present invention. This problem is solved, firstly, by a method of the type in question mentioned above, wherein the knitwear is produced on a double jersey knitting machine with a first and a second needle carrier and a machine gauge of > 24 needles/inch, wherein the first needle carrier is arranged opposite the second needle carrier, the first needle carrier has a needle number/inch of latch-type needles corresponding to the machine gauge, and the second needle carrier has transfer needles, wherein the needle number/inch of the transfer needles is smaller by a factor of at least 2 than the needle number/inch of the latch-type needles of the first needle carrier, and wherein loop accumulations with at least one tuck loop per hole are formed with the transfer needles, and the tuck loops are subsequently transferred without or with at least one knitting stitch from the transfer needles onto the latch-type needles. The problem is furthermore solved by a functional textile which is obtainable by the method according to the invention.
Abstract:
A knitted fabric for winterweight garments having two confronting webs (16, 18), one overlying the other and united at intervals by a stitch (20) of the yarn of one web engaging the other web. One of the webs (16) has thick (b) and thin (a) yarns grouped in adjacent courses, the grouped courses of thick yarns (b) alternating with the grouped courses of thin yarns (a) to produce a ridged effect in the web (16). The thick yarns (b) produce ridge lines (26) and the thin yarns (a) intermediate said ridge lines (26) produce air-entrapping channels (29) in the one web. The other web (18) is preferrably smooth on both surfaces. When fabricated into a garment the ridged web (16) is on the inside and the smooth web (18) is on the outside of the garment.

Abstract:
A panty construction having improved moisture management. The panty construction includes a body portion (120) having a waist opening (121), a front section (126) and a back section (128), a crotch section (130), and a panty liner (140). The panty liner (140) is formed from a knitted fabric (700) comprising alternating courses of hydrophilic yarns. The yarns are knitted to form a rib knit with parallel ribs, the parallel ribs formed parallel to the alternating courses. The panty liner (140) overlies and is attached to the inner surface of the crotch area (130) so that the parallel ribs are substantially parallel with the major axis (x-x) of the crotch area (130).
Abstract:
A circular knit bra (10) is provided. The bra (10) has a torso encircling shape with a torso part having an outer fabric (20), an inner fabric (50), and a bra bottom (35). The outer fabric (20) and the inner fabric (50) each have a lower edge. The outer fabric (20) and the inner fabric (50) form a double layer. An integrally knitted reinforced anchoring chest band (70) at the lower edge of the inner fabric forms a fold line, such that the anchoring chest band is concealed by the outer fabric layer. The bra bottom may have a smooth straight finished edge, a decorative scalloped edge, or a beaded edge mini-turned welt treatment.
