Abstract

The product has a front side having a theme formed by two different colored yarns, and a backside. The product is developed in a circular knitting technology, and threads e.g. monofil threads, are connected and controllably guided by a single needle selector on the backside. The same theme is provided on the front side and on the backside, where the backside theme is developed color-inversed to the front side theme. The two theme-forming colored yarns are guided in the form of a cross hose attachment. Stuffers are additionally provided to the two theme-forming colored yarns.

Description

The invention relates to a knitted product according to the preamble of claim 1.

Generic knit products are known from practice. The front side is always designed as a so-called visual side, so provided with the desired optical design, while the back is often visually unsightly. If the back is formed, as is often the case in practice, from 100% polyester yarn, it does not allow absorption of body moisture, so that such a knit product is unsuitable for use as a pillow or mattress cover.

The invention is based on the object to improve a generic knit to the effect that it can be configured on both its front and on its back to almost any desired.

This object is achieved by a knitted product having the features of claim 1.

In other words, the invention proposes to control the threads not only on the front side but also on the back side of a circular knit product. Thus, both the optical design of the front and the optical design of the back can be precisely defined. If threads of different materials are used, in addition, the material-dependent surface properties can be influenced both on the front and on the back, so that, for example, on the back of a skin-friendly design of the knitted product is possible, so that this knitted product with its back as Pillow or Matartzenbezug can be used and thus can be configured, for example, as a reversible cover.

This is made possible by a single needle selection both in the cylinder (front) and in the Rippscheibe (back) of the circular knitting machine by each thread-guiding needles are individually selectable both in the cylinder and in the dial. In this way, a jacquard selection is made possible both in the cylinder and in the dial, so that a patterning of both the front and the back of the knitted product can be done.

For example, in the context of a first proposed product design, it is advantageously possible to realize the same motif both on the front side and on the back side of the knitted product in optically precise design. This is applicable for example in reversible covers for mattresses and pillows. For this purpose, the two required to represent a motif, different colored yarns are performed in a cross-tube binding, so that the same motif on the front as on the back is visible, but inverted in color.

Alternatively, different motifs may be shown on the front and rear sides of a circular knit product designed according to the proposal.

Advantageously, filler threads can be used, so that, for example, strongly colored threads used for the formation of the motif can be concealed so that they do not show through, for example, an otherwise weakly colored or bright material in places where these colored threads do not make up the motif should be visible.

Usually, a so-called relief thread is used to form the motif on top of the knitted product. This relief thread is conventionally inserted in the areas where it is not needed for the formation of the motif, as a so-called float. In this area in the relief thread is therefore not entangled and therefore not controlled controlled. If the relief thread has a strong color, an unclean appearance may result, as the relief thread may lay uncontrollably in front of a filling thread and sometimes behind a filling thread. For example, in the context of a second proposed product design, it is advantageously possible to bind the relief thread on the back to places where it should not be visible. This setting is done by means of a stitch bond, such as knitting binding, or by means of a so-called fishing binding, so that in any case as a result on the back of the knitted product controlled thread guide or a controlled setting of the thread is possible. For this purpose, the single needle selection is used in the dial, so that the relief thread in areas where it is not needed, so should not be seen, can be stored as a mesh on the back. Thus, the relief thread is constantly and controlled controlled, and tied off also controlled on the back, since it can be knitted again on the back, so that a different show through the relief thread is avoided and a uniform appearance is obtained, so that large-scale relief pattern in good quality can be achieved.

In particular, advantageously, the relief thread on the back can be placed behind the filling thread, in such a way that the filling thread covers the relief thread. In this way, it is avoided even with intensely colored relief threads that they show through in unwanted places, so in places where they do not serve to form the subject.

Advantageously, the knitted product on the front side partially have an elastic thread, for example by having a wound with cotton spandex soul. Through the single needle selection can be controlled where this elastic thread is present at the front of the knitted product, so that different hardness zones can be created.

Thus, for example, the knitted product can be designed as a mattress cover which has on its front side in the head area and / or shoulder area and / or hip area and / or foot area a zone with a degree of hardness which differs from the degree of hardness of the adjacent areas.

Advantageously, the proposed knitted product can serve as a reversible cover, for example as a pillow cover or as a mattress cover. In particular, in such reversion covers, the visually clean design of the back of the knit product is advantageous advantage or only makes it possible to use the knitted product either with the front or the back as a visible surface.

Particularly advantageous not only the purely optical design of the two sides of the knitted product can be influenced by the proposed controlled thread guide on both sides Advantageously, the technical properties of the knitwear on the front and the back can also be consciously influenced. For example, it can be used on the back of materials other than the front of the knitwear.

For example, in the context of a third proposed product design, it is advantageously possible that in a mattress reversing cover the materials used for the front side on the one hand and for the back on the other hand have different warming properties: for example, one of the two sides can serve as a summer side and have a cooling material , as known for example under the brand name "Coolmax", while the other side, for example, serves as a winter side and on the other hand a more warming material such as cotton or materials known under the brand names "Lyocell" or "Themolite". Of course, in combination with the above-mentioned design possibilities, it may be intended to use not only different materials on the front and the back, but front and back may also be different from each other by different colors or different patterns.

The proposed embodiment of a knitted product can advantageously be used to set the elasticity of a spacer fabric in different areas of this spacer fabric differently: this is advantageously provided in a spacer textile always provided monofilament, which extend approximately perpendicularly between the two outer sides of the spacer fabric, over the surface of the spacer fabric to be distributed in a different area density, so to arrange the monofilament threads in different numbers per unit area in different areas of the spacer fabric. For such a spacer fabric is used for example as a mattress pad or mattress cover can The elasticity of the individual mattress zones can be influenced by means of a spacer textile designed in this way.

Embodiments knit products according to the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the purely schematic representations. The show

Fig. 1 to 3

the schematic structure of three different knitted products.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a thread pattern in a repeat over two systems. The respective thread is shown in each case as a continuous, substantially horizontally extending line. In this case, for example, serves an upper, denoted by 1 system for entangling a blue thread, while the second system 2 shown below relates to a red thread. The individual knitting needles are denoted by 3, wherein in each system 1 and 2, the knitting needles 3 of the respective Rippscheibe - for the back of the knitted product - above and the knitting needles 3 of the respective cylinder - for the front of the knitted product - are shown below, which means The right-hand side of the margin indicates "R" or "Z". Which of the knitting needles 3 each carries a thread is indicated by the circle shown at the respective knitting needle 3, wherein there is formed in each case by means of the relevant knitting needle a stitch.

As FIG. 1 shows, for the system 2 with the red color an exactly inverted pattern compared to the pattern of the system 1 with the blue color, so that in this way, for example, a reversible cover can be made, which has the same pattern on both sides, however, in a positive-negative representation: where parts of the pattern appear red on the front, the same parts of the pattern on the back appear in blue, while parts of the pattern, that appear in blue on the front, appear in red on the back of the pattern.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of a thread pattern in a repeat over three systems, the Darstellungsart of FIG. 1 equivalent. It is according to FIG. 2 provided to knit the system 1 exclusively on the dial, that is the back. The material used is, for example, a cooling fiber, for example the material known under the brand name "Coolmax". Or, in this system 1, for example, a dark yarn is used.

System 2 uses a colored polyester yarn. The system 2 is used to embroider a motif or pattern by connecting front and back together.

In an additionally provided third system, marked with the number 4, it is provided to knit the system 4 exclusively on the cylinder, that is on the front of the knitted product. The material used in the third system 4 differs from the material used in the first system 1: instead of the cooling fiber, a warming fiber such as cotton may be used, or instead of the dark yarn of the system 1 a light yarn may be used.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of a thread pattern in a repeat over four systems. In doing so, the system 1 serves to feed in background dots, with the front and back sides joined together.

The system 2 serves to ausschustricken the front only in the cylinder, for example, as material in the system 2 cotton is used.

The third system 4 serves to embroider the motif, wherein the front and the back are connected to each other as in the system 1.

On a fourth system, marked with the numeral 5, a relief thread 6 is knitted. This relief thread 6 is tied off by the single needle selection, which is possible in the dial, on the back and therefore places itself continuously behind a filling thread 7. Even if a stronger color is used for the relief thread 6, this does not appear in the illustrated circular knit product to unwanted Make through, since the relief thread 6 at the points where it is not intended to motive formation, is covered by the filling thread 7. With "A" is marked a point where the relief thread 6 is tied off by means of a knitting needle 3 of the dial on the back.
