- lt is an object of the present invention to provide a knittedrfsbri with timatdlyrteissting barbs which.
- this object may be attained by providing theplush loops when set in the form of long-drawn loops which are erected to an upright position and the heads of which are drawn to a narrow width and therefore have a small radius so that after being cut open, they form the desired barbs.
- These narrow barbs of the first fabric may then easily penetrate into and be hooked together with the uncut pile of the second fabric.
- These barbs which are formed by the narrow heads have the further advantage that,
- the barbs on one fabric which are hooked together with the uncut pile of the other fabric insure that the two fabrics will be very securely fastened to each other. Since they are formed by upwardly projecting plush loops, the barbs will reliably engage into the uncut pile of the second fabric.
- the knitted fabric according to the invention may be produced by several different methods.
- One of these methods which forms another feature of the invention consists of the steps of combining a knitted one-face base fabric with a supplemental knitted part which consists of monofilament thermoplastic threads and forms long-drawn loops, so that both fabric parts together form a wavy shape, of then stretching this wavy material in the longitudinal direction of the wales and simultaneously setting the stretched long loops, of then exposing the heads of the long-drawn loops by a special procedure, and after they have been erected to form plush loops by an additional stretching operation and a simultaneous dressing with a sizing material, then cutting open these loops so as vto form barbs.
- This new method may be carried out on a knitting machine which is provided with two needle systems or on a warp knitting machine which is provided with two needle bars.
- Another method of knitting the fabric according to the invention consists in knitting the looped fabric in such a manner by means of a warp knitting machine which is provided with only one needle bar that the weft parts of the combined pillar-stitch and weft insertion are layed around loop holders of the machine which are providedl for forming long-drawn loops and are located outside of the row of needles and act during the period in which several courses are knitted, and that while the loop holders engage into the long-drawn loops, these loops are set. Therefore, by employing the loop holders which act during the period of knitting several courses, the loops which are drawn out by the loop holders may be set while the fabric is still being knitted.
- The-present invention also concerns the development of two different apparatus for carrying out the lastmentioned knitting method.
- One of these apparatus consists according to the invention in providing a loop holder for each loop which is to be drawn but in the form of a setting hook, and in providing for the space between each pair of adjacent needles an endless row of setting hooks which are guided in such a manner that during the formation of several courses these setting hooks will be taken along by the long-drawn loops so that the distance between the adjacent setting hooks is gradually increased.
- This produces the result that while the knitting operation proceeds the setting hooks which engage into the long-drawn loops will move for a certain length of time along with the base fabric so that during this period those loops may be set which have been drawn out by the setting hooks.
- This apparatus may be mounted in a very simple manner on any knitting machine of a conventional type.
- the second apparatus according to the invention for carrying out the last-mentioned knitting method is provided with loop holders in the form of flat metal parts or lancets which are held by the long-drawn loops of the knitted fabric within a row between two adjacent walescof the base fabric and each of which, in turn, extends within a plane which is directed vertical to the base fabric between two adjacent needles of the needle bar.
- This apparatus is further provided with two lancet holding devices which alternate in acting on the lancets and the first of which engages with the upper ends of the lancets and embraces them laterally and also holds them in vertical directions when the old loops are being knocked over, while the second holding device which is located underneath the first device serves for holding the lancets laterally during the remainder of the time.
- This apparatus may likewise be easily mounted on any conventional knitting machine.
- the first device which holds the lancets while the old loops are being knocked over by engaging with their upper ends and also embracing them laterally, the lancets which are held by the surrounding loops are prevented from being pulled downwardly by the base fabric when the latter moves downwardly while the loops are knocked over.
- the second holding device which is located underneath this first holding device and alternately to the latter engages with the lancets for holding the same in lateral directions during the remainder of the time is provided for permitting each weft part, which is looped around a lancet above the first holding device for forming a long-drawn loop, to slip downwardly past both lancet holding devices. Therefore, both lancet holding devices together prevent any movement of the lancet.

- FlG. l illustrates a pattern in which the dial needles which are guided in the grooves of the dial of a circular knitting machine are designated by the numeral l, while the cylinder needles which are guided in the grooves of the cylinder are designated by the numeral 2.
- a firstthread 3 which is of a multifilament type is employed for knitting on the dial needles l a uniform one-face base fabric 4 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 which is connected to a supplementary fabric part 5 (FIG. 3) which consists of a second thread 6 which is of a monofilament type and consists of a thermoplastic material, and of a removable .thread 7.
- Both th-reads 6 and 7 are connected by means of the dial needles to the base fabric 4 and thereby form normal loops 6 and 7 which are disposed within the wales of the base fabric.
- Thewales of the supplementary fabric part 5 which are formed by means of the cylinder needles 2 are disposed between the adjacent wales of the base fabric, and the second type of thread 6 then forms long-drawn loops 6" which extend over three courses of the base fabric.
- the successive long-drawn loops 6" of the second thermoplastic type of threads 6 within each wale of the supplementary fabric part 5 are connected to each other by the normal loops 7" of the removable thread 7. This results in the formation of a wavy fabric as may be seen especially in FIG.
- FIG. 2 illustrates diagrammatically the loop formation of a knitted fabric which is thus produced and in which the back of the base fabric and the face of the supplementary fabric part may be seen.
- FIG. 2 also shows very clearly that between two adjacent wales containing long-drawn loops 6" loops 7 are formed on the dial needles l.
- the loops 7" which are formed of the removable thread 7 reduce the width of the heads of the long-drawn loops 6".
- the fabric After being thus produced, the fabric is stretched in the longitudinal direction of the wales. This has the result, as shown very clearly in FIG. 3, that the longdrawn loops 6" of the second or thermoplastic type of thread 6 will be stretched and, due to their being tied to the loops 7" of the removable thread 7, especially their heads will be drawn so as to have a rather narrow width which is of great importance for forming the barbs in accordance with the invention.
- the long-drawn loops of the second or thermoplastic type of thread are in this stretched position, these threads are set by first being heated and subsequently cooled. Thereafter the removable threads 7 are removed in a manner which is conventional in this art. As may be seen particularly in FIG.
- the pile fabric which is thus produced is stretched once more to such an extent that these loops which then form plush loops will be disposed at the desired angles. Thereafter, these loops 6" will be fixed in this upright position by being dressed with a sizing material and will then be cut open at one side so as to form barbs. This cutting operation may be carried out in the manner which is conventional in woven fabrics of this type and therefore does not need to be further described.
- the base fabric 4 may be composed of two different kinds of first threads 3, one of which is elastic, while the other is nonelastic.
- the nonelastic threads 3 are then employed for those courses in'which the normal loops 6 of the thermoplastic second kind of thread 6 are formed so that the nonelastic kind of thread 3 of the base fabric 4 will be securely tied together with the thermoplastic barb-forming second kind of thread 6 and the barbs which are formed by the long-drawn loops 6" will thus be firmly anchored in the base fabric 4.
- a similar fabric of a wavy shape may also be knitted in accordance with the pattern as shown in FIG. 5 by means of a warp knitting machine which is provided with two needle bars.
- a base fabric is also produced in this ca'se of a first multifilament kind of thread by means of the needles ll of the first needle bar of the machine.
- This base fabric comprises a pillar-stitch 13a and a second thread 13b of the same kind which connects two wales to each other.
- the machine further produces a supplementary fabric part which is composed of threads 16a and 16b of the second monofilament thermoplastic type and of removable threads 17a and 17b.
- the longdrawn loops 16" are formed by omitting to lay the threads 16a and 16b around the needles 12 of the second needle bar and by stopping the operation of the second pressure bar. This may also be effected by stopping the operation of the second needle bar which results in the formation of the long-drawn loops.
- the removable threads 17a and 17b form in either of these cases entirely normal loops which are knitted by the needles 11 of the first needle bar in the form of closed loops into the base fabric and by the needles l2 of the second needle bar in the form of open loops into the supplementary fabric part in which they connect the successive open long-drawn loops to each other which are formed of the threads 16a and 16b of the thermoplastic second kind.
- a fabric of a wavy shape will also be produced in this case as in the case as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4.
- the longdrawn loops will be stretched once more.
- These stretched long-drawn loops are then set by being heated and cooled. Thereafter the removable threads 17a and 17b are removed withthe result that the rigid long-drawn loops will turn to an upright position like plush loops.
- These erected loops are then fixed in the upright position by being dressed with a sizing material and are thereafter cut open at one side so as to form barbs.
- the threads 13a may be made of a nonelastic material, while the threads 13b which connect different wales to each other consist of an elastic material so as to increase the elasticity of the fabric in its transverse direction.
- FIGS. 6 and 7 show the patterns of two further fab- 'rics according to the invention which are knitted on a warp knitting machine which has a single needle bar.
- the base of both of these fabrics consists of two warpthread systems 23a and 23b, the first of which is knitted in a pillar stitch arrangement and the second
Abstract
A knitted fabric consisting of a base fabric into which while being knitted a supplementary monofilament thread of a thermoplastic material is knitted so as to form loops which are drawn out to a considerable length and are then set by a heat treatment and erected to an upright position relative to the base fabric either by stretching the latter or by means of special hook-shaped tools around which these loops are layed, whereupon these set and erected loops are fixed by a sizing material and are then cut open to form barbs with narrow heads which, when the entire fabric is pressed together with another pile fabric, become hooked together with this other fabric.

Q 0 0 0 0 C l Q 0 O O I Q I 0 C METHOD AND APPARATUS Fon rizouucrNG A KNITTED FAluc wml PROJECTING BARBS one4 face or the base fabric which'may penetrate into and be hooked together with the uncut pile of another fabric when the two fabrics are applied face-on-face upon each other, and may be severed from the uncut pile of the second fabric when the two fabrics are ripped with such a force off each other that the barbs will be unbent.
The only textile with such projecting barbs which prior to this invention prooved satisfactory in actual practice were made by weaving. While such a fabric is being woven of a thread of a thermoplastic material, the plush loops are formed by means of metal wires and are thereafter set and cut open to form barbs. These known woven fabrics with projecting barbs have, however, the disadvantage that their production is rela tively expensive and that the finished fabric is nonelastc and relatively stiff and also of a considerable thickness and that therefore this fabric can be employed only for certain types of garments or other articles.
These disadvantages of woven fabrics with projecting barbs rendered it desirable to employ a conventional knitted fabric and to knit monofilament threads of a thermoplastic material into this fabric so as to form plush loops which when set and cut open will form barbs. Such a knitted fabric with projecting barbs will, however, not form a satisfactory fastener element since the monofilament threads when being bent in the normal knitting operation will form loops the closed curved ends of which from which the barbs are made have a relatively large radius of curvature and therefore a width which amounts to about 7 percent of the length of these loops. Due to this large radius of the parts of the plush loops from which the barbs are made on one fabric, these barbs will not-properly penetrate into the uncut pile ofthe other fabric which is tobe fastened together with the first fabric. lf, however, one or another of these barbs should penetrate into and be hooked together with the uncut pile of the other fabric, this barb may be bent open 'by a relatively vsmall force because of its large radius of curvature. Furthermore, the plush loops of the known kinds of knitted plush fabrics do not stand upright from the surface of the base fabric but extend at an acute angle thereto. Only if these lo'ops are very close adjacent to each other, they will be held in a more upright position because they cannot lie down.
However, a fabric with such closely adjacent loops` which are cut so as to form barbs is very inefficient as a fastener since the individual barbs will rarely penetrate into the uncut pile of the second fabric. If the loops are not as close to each other and are in an inclined position. the latter will be pressed back against the base of the first fabric when the two fabrics are pressed against each other and therefore most of the babs will not enter and be hooked together with the uncut pile ofthe second fabric.
lt is an object of the present invention to provide a knittedrfsbri with timatdlyrteissting barbs which.
2 when applied upon a fabric with an uncut pile will be fastened together with the latter at least as securely as if these fabrics were woven, but has the advantages of a knitted fabric of vbeing more quickly produced than a woven fabric andof being elastic at least in one direction.
According to the present invention this object may be attained by providing theplush loops when set in the form of long-drawn loops which are erected to an upright position and the heads of which are drawn to a narrow width and therefore have a small radius so that after being cut open, they form the desired barbs. These narrow barbs of the first fabric may then easily penetrate into and be hooked together with the uncut pile of the second fabric. These barbs which are formed by the narrow heads have the further advantage that,
because of the small radius of curvature of the heads, it requires a much greater force to unbend the hooks than that which would be required if the loops have the normal width and are not long-drawn as in a normal plush fabric. Therefore, the barbs on one fabric which are hooked together with the uncut pile of the other fabric insure that the two fabrics will be very securely fastened to each other. Since they are formed by upwardly projecting plush loops, the barbs will reliably engage into the uncut pile of the second fabric.
The knitted fabric according to the invention may be produced by several different methods.
One of these methods which forms another feature of the invention consists of the steps of combining a knitted one-face base fabric with a supplemental knitted part which consists of monofilament thermoplastic threads and forms long-drawn loops, so that both fabric parts together form a wavy shape, of then stretching this wavy material in the longitudinal direction of the wales and simultaneously setting the stretched long loops, of then exposing the heads of the long-drawn loops by a special procedure, and after they have been erected to form plush loops by an additional stretching operation and a simultaneous dressing with a sizing material, then cutting open these loops so as vto form barbs.
This new method may be carried out on a knitting machine which is provided with two needle systems or on a warp knitting machine which is provided with two needle bars.
Another method of knitting the fabric according to the invention consists in knitting the looped fabric in such a manner by means of a warp knitting machine which is provided with only one needle bar that the weft parts of the combined pillar-stitch and weft insertion are layed around loop holders of the machine which are providedl for forming long-drawn loops and are located outside of the row of needles and act during the period in which several courses are knitted, and that while the loop holders engage into the long-drawn loops, these loops are set. Therefore, by employing the loop holders which act during the period of knitting several courses, the loops which are drawn out by the loop holders may be set while the fabric is still being knitted.
The-present invention also concerns the development of two different apparatus for carrying out the lastmentioned knitting method. One of these apparatus consists according to the invention in providing a loop holder for each loop which is to be drawn but in the form of a setting hook, and in providing for the space between each pair of adjacent needles an endless row of setting hooks which are guided in such a manner that during the formation of several courses these setting hooks will be taken along by the long-drawn loops so that the distance between the adjacent setting hooks is gradually increased. This produces the result that while the knitting operation proceeds the setting hooks which engage into the long-drawn loops will move for a certain length of time along with the base fabric so that during this period those loops may be set which have been drawn out by the setting hooks. This apparatus may be mounted in a very simple manner on any knitting machine of a conventional type.
The second apparatus according to the invention for carrying out the last-mentioned knitting method is provided with loop holders in the form of flat metal parts or lancets which are held by the long-drawn loops of the knitted fabric within a row between two adjacent walescof the base fabric and each of which, in turn, extends within a plane which is directed vertical to the base fabric between two adjacent needles of the needle bar. This apparatus is further provided with two lancet holding devices which alternate in acting on the lancets and the first of which engages with the upper ends of the lancets and embraces them laterally and also holds them in vertical directions when the old loops are being knocked over, while the second holding device which is located underneath the first device serves for holding the lancets laterally during the remainder of the time. This apparatus may likewise be easily mounted on any conventional knitting machine. By providing the first device which holds the lancets while the old loops are being knocked over by engaging with their upper ends and also embracing them laterally, the lancets which are held by the surrounding loops are prevented from being pulled downwardly by the base fabric when the latter moves downwardly while the loops are knocked over. The second holding device which is located underneath this first holding device and alternately to the latter engages with the lancets for holding the same in lateral directions during the remainder of the time is provided for permitting each weft part, which is looped around a lancet above the first holding device for forming a long-drawn loop, to slip downwardly past both lancet holding devices. Therefore, both lancet holding devices together prevent any movement of the lancet.

In the drawings, FlG. l illustrates a pattern in which the dial needles which are guided in the grooves of the dial of a circular knitting machine are designated by the numeral l, while the cylinder needles which are guided in the grooves of the cylinder are designated by the numeral 2. A firstthread 3 which is of a multifilament type is employed for knitting on the dial needles l a uniform one-face base fabric 4 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 which is connected to a supplementary fabric part 5 (FIG. 3) which consists of a second thread 6 which is of a monofilament type and consists of a thermoplastic material, and of a removable .thread 7. Both th-reads 6 and 7 are connected by means of the dial needles to the base fabric 4 and thereby form normal loops 6 and 7 which are disposed within the wales of the base fabric. Thewales of the supplementary fabric part 5 which are formed by means of the cylinder needles 2 are disposed between the adjacent wales of the base fabric, and the second type of thread 6 then forms long-drawn loops 6" which extend over three courses of the base fabric. The successive long-drawn loops 6" of the second thermoplastic type of threads 6 within each wale of the supplementary fabric part 5 are connected to each other by the normal loops 7" of the removable thread 7. This results in the formation of a wavy fabric as may be seen especially in FIG. 3, in which the base fabric 4 forms the wave crests which are curved by the long-drawn loops 6" of the supplementary fabric part 5. FIG. 2 illustrates diagrammatically the loop formation of a knitted fabric which is thus produced and in which the back of the base fabric and the face of the supplementary fabric part may be seen. FIG. 2 also shows very clearly that between two adjacent wales containing long-drawn loops 6" loops 7 are formed on the dial needles l. The loops 7" which are formed of the removable thread 7 reduce the width of the heads of the long-drawn loops 6".
After being thus produced, the fabric is stretched in the longitudinal direction of the wales. This has the result, as shown very clearly in FIG. 3, that the longdrawn loops 6" of the second or thermoplastic type of thread 6 will be stretched and, due to their being tied to the loops 7" of the removable thread 7, especially their heads will be drawn so as to have a rather narrow width which is of great importance for forming the barbs in accordance with the invention. When the long-drawn loops of the second or thermoplastic type of thread are in this stretched position, these threads are set by first being heated and subsequently cooled. Thereafter the removable threads 7 are removed in a manner which is conventional in this art. As may be seen particularly in FIG. 2, this removal of the threads 7 results in the exposure of the heads of the long-drawn loops 6". Due to the fact that the loops of the first kind of thread 3 of the base fabric 4 then engage with the feet of the longdrawn loo s 6", the latter will tend to turn to an upright position, as indicated diagrammatically in FIG. 4.
, For insuring that these loops 6" will be erected to such an upright position, the pile fabric which is thus produced is stretched once more to such an extent that these loops which then form plush loops will be disposed at the desired angles. Thereafter, these loops 6" will be fixed in this upright position by being dressed with a sizing material and will then be cut open at one side so as to form barbs. This cutting operation may be carried out in the manner which is conventional in woven fabrics of this type and therefore does not need to be further described. For increasing the elasticity of the knitted fabric, the base fabric 4 may be composed of two different kinds of first threads 3, one of which is elastic, while the other is nonelastic. The nonelastic threads 3 are then employed for those courses in'which the normal loops 6 of the thermoplastic second kind of thread 6 are formed so that the nonelastic kind of thread 3 of the base fabric 4 will be securely tied together with the thermoplastic barb-forming second kind of thread 6 and the barbs which are formed by the long-drawn loops 6" will thus be firmly anchored in the base fabric 4.
A similar fabric of a wavy shape may also be knitted in accordance with the pattern as shown in FIG. 5 by means of a warp knitting machine which is provided with two needle bars. A base fabric is also produced in this ca'se of a first multifilament kind of thread by means of the needles ll of the first needle bar of the machine. This base fabric comprises a pillar-stitch 13a and a second thread 13b of the same kind which connects two wales to each other..By means of the needles 1l of the first needle bar and the needles 12 of the second needle bar the machine further produces a supplementary fabric part which is composed of threads 16a and 16b of the second monofilament thermoplastic type and of removable threads 17a and 17b. In this supplementary fabric part the longdrawn loops 16" are formed by omitting to lay the threads 16a and 16b around the needles 12 of the second needle bar and by stopping the operation of the second pressure bar. This may also be effected by stopping the operation of the second needle bar which results in the formation of the long-drawn loops. The removable threads 17a and 17b form in either of these cases entirely normal loops which are knitted by the needles 11 of the first needle bar in the form of closed loops into the base fabric and by the needles l2 of the second needle bar in the form of open loops into the supplementary fabric part in which they connect the successive open long-drawn loops to each other which are formed of the threads 16a and 16b of the thermoplastic second kind.
Therefore, a fabric of a wavy shape will also be produced in this case as in the case as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4. By then stretching this wavy fabric the longdrawn loops will be stretched once more. These stretched long-drawn loops are then set by being heated and cooled. Thereafter the removable threads 17a and 17b are removed withthe result that the rigid long-drawn loops will turn to an upright position like plush loops. These erected loops are then fixed in the upright position by being dressed with a sizing material and are thereafter cut open at one side so as to form barbs. Instead of employing the same kind of material for the threads 13a and 13b the threads 13a may be made of a nonelastic material, while the threads 13b which connect different wales to each other consist of an elastic material so as to increase the elasticity of the fabric in its transverse direction.
FIGS. 6 and 7 show the patterns of two further fab- 'rics according to the invention which are knitted on a warp knitting machine which has a single needle bar. The base of both of these fabrics consists of two warpthread systems 23a and 23b, the first of which is knitted in a pillar stitch arrangement and the second
