Length-ways stretchable elastic band
View Patent ↗A lengthways stretchable elastic band having two edges is provided. The elastic band comprises a plurality of longitudinal elastic yarn segments and at least one elastic thread area, which extends to the two edges of the elastic band. The plurality of longitudinal elastic yarn segments are made of elastic yarns and the elastic thread area is made of elastic threads. The elastic band is formed by connecting the plurality of longitudinal elastic yarn segments together using the elastic thread area. The elastic thread area connects the plurality of longitudinal yarn segments by tying the ends of the elastic threads to the ends of the elastic yarns. As such, when the elastic band is under a force, it can be expanded both lengthways and sideways, thereby obtaining multi-directional extensibility.
1. A lengthways stretchable elastic band, composed of plural longitudinal elastic yarn segments and elastic thread areas which are formed via knitting and sewing, wherein two of the adjacent longitudinal elastic yarn segments are connected by elastic threads to form the elastic band, and the elastic threads extend across two edges of the elastic band, wherein the elastic threads are inclined relative to the elastic band formed, the longitudinal elastic yarn segments are shaped in triangles, and the adjacent elastic yarn segments are wedged side by side via the elastic threads.
2. The lengthways stretchable elastic band as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal elastic yarn segments are identical in width.
3. The lengthways stretchable elastic band as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal elastic yarn segments are different in width.
