Application October 4, 1937, Serial No. 167,323
2 Claims. (o1. (ac-192) My invention, which relates to the art of knitting, has for its object to produce a new and improved fabric.
Further. it is an object of the invention to provide a knit fabric combined, during the knitting operation, with a base fabric in such a way that a portion of the knit fabric will lie on one face of the base fabric while the remainder lies on the other face of the base fabric in such a way that both faces of the combined fabric will appear as a knit fabric.
.Again, it is an object to provide an improved textile fabric which will be substantially unstretchable either in its longitudinal or its transverse direction.
, A. further object of the invention is to provide a knit fabric with a woven base through which base and on each face whereof the knit fabric is formed, whereby a reversible sheet is provided, each side constituting a finished face.
A further object is to combine the desirable features of the usual knit fabrics with these of inelastic woven fabrics.
In the drawing Fig. 1 is a top face view of a highly magnified portion of a composite fabric embodying the invention.
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 22 of Fig. 1.
In the drawing 42 is a pre-woven fabric (which preferably is a relatively fine, thin-woven fabric of the required tensile strength) the upper face of which pre-woven fabric is covered by the crossconnecting portions of the knitting threads 48 or those portions of' knitting threads that extend back and forth between the knitted loops; the lower face of the-pre-wove n fabric is covered by the lower portions l9'(loops) of the knitting threads. Threads 50 may be inlaid in the face of the composite fabric. as indicated.
In carrying out my invention I use a flat knitting machine which has a stationary knock-over bar, a movable sinker-nib, pointed bearded needles, a beadresser bar, and the usual thread carriers (see for example Letters Patent No. 349,352 of September 21, 1886), and from a suit- 5 ably located roll of base-material (such as woven fabric, for example) I pass the base sheet over the knockover bar between it and the sinker-nib so that during the knitting process the needles will ass through the base sheet, the base sheet being fed in the direction of the material-discharge from the machine and in timed relation to the knitting operation so that a portion of the knitting will be formed on one face of the base sheet while the remainder will be formed on the other face of the base sheet, the knit threads on each face of the base sheet being unbroken.
By using known knitting machines which have more than one thread guide bar it is possible to lay threads over one face of the fabric between one or more of'the needles courses to produce inlays to form ornamental designs by operating the machine in the same general way as has heretofore been done in conducting knitting operations alone.
From the foregoing description it is thought that the invention will be clear to those skilled in the art, as will also its many advantages.
What I claim is:
1. A composite fabric comprising a sheet of woven fabric and a knit fabric the knittin threads passing through the interstices of the woven fabric and the loops all lying on one side of the woven fabric and the cross connecting portions of the threads between the loops all lying on the other side of the woven fabric whereby the woven fabric will be completely embedded in the knitted fabric and both faces of the composite fabric will appear as a knitted fabric.
2. A composite fabric comprising a sheet of woven fabric and a knit fabric the knitting threads passing through the interstices of the woven fabric and the loops all lying on one side of the woven fabric and the cross connecting portions of the threads between the loops all' lying on the other side. of the woven fabric whereby the woven fabric will be completely embedded in the knitted fabric and both faces of the composite fabric will appear as a knitted fabric, one face of the composite fabric having inlays to give to that face a distinctive ornamental appearance.
ROY C. AMIDON.
