Woven fabric-like jacquard fabric for mattress ticking and method for knitting the same
A jacquard fabric for a mattress ticking to be used for a bedding mattress and a method for knitting this jacquard fabric are provided. The method according to the present invention is a method for producing a jacquard fabric for a mattress ticking using a double-sided needle selection circular knitting machine of a rib gating type, the method by which a suitable pattern is created by means of computer-based needle selection on a cylinder side, a suitable pattern is also created by means of computer-based needle selection on a dial side, and a suitable knitting structure is made in a suitable part by combining the pattern obtained on the cylinder side with the pattern obtained on the dial side. As a result of employing an irregular twill pattern as a background knitting structure serving as a base, a stretchable fabric that has a soft texture, a tight knitting structure, and similar strength to woven fabric is obtained.

in a course direction from a needle serving as a reference,
at a first feeder, repeating a process of knitting with two consecutive cylinder needles, welting with one opposing dial needle, and then knitting with two consecutive dial needles;
at a second feeder, repeating a process of welting with one cylinder needle, knitting with two consecutive opposing dial needles, knitting with two consecutive opposing cylinder needles, and then welting with one opposing dial needle;
at a third feeder, repeating a process of knitting with one cylinder needle, and then welting with one cylinder needle;
at a fourth feeder, repeating a process of knitting with one dial needle, knitting with two consecutive opposing cylinder needles, welting with one opposing dial needle, and then knitting with one dial needle;
at a fifth feeder, repeating a process of knitting with one cylinder needle, welting with one opposing dial needle, knitting with two consecutive dial needles, and then knitting with one opposing cylinder needle;
at a sixth feeder, repeating a process of knitting with one cylinder needle, and then welting with one cylinder needle;
at a seventh feeder, performing the same process as at the second feeder;
at an eighth feeder, performing the same process as at the first feeder;
at a ninth feeder, performing the same process as at the third feeder;
at a tenth feeder, performing the same process as at the fifth feeder;
at an eleventh feeder, performing the same process as at the fourth feeder;
at a twelfth feeder, performing the same process as at the sixth feeder; and
thereafter repeating above processes in a feeder (wale) direction.
