Abstract

A warp knitted fabric is a mesh warp knitted fabric knitted with non-elastic yarns and elastic yarns and at least partially including a mesh texture. In the mesh texture, a plurality of non-elastic yarns are knitted in conformance to a pair of repeating patterns opposed to each other, and a plurality of elastic yarns are knitted in conformance to the pair of repeating patterns to be overlapped on the plurality of non-elastic yarns. The plurality of non-elastic yarns conforming to one of the pair of repeating patterns, the elastic yarns overlapped on the plurality of non-elastic yarns conforming to the one of the pair of repeating patterns, and the plurality of elastic yarns conforming to the other of the pair of repeating patterns include a non-threaded position, and the plurality of non-elastic yarns conforming to the other of the pair of repeating patterns do not include a non-threaded position.

Claims (19)

1 . A mesh warp knitted fabric knitted with non-elastic yarns and elastic yarns and at least partially comprising a mesh texture, wherein

in the mesh texture, first and second pluralities of non-elastic yarns are respectively knitted in conformance to a pair of repeating patterns, the pair of repeating patterns being symmetrical, mirrored from each other, and opposed to each other across an axis of symmetry of the pair of repeating patterns, and first and second pluralities of elastic yarns are respectively knitted in conformance to the pair of repeating patterns so as to be respectively overlapped on the first and second pluralities of non-elastic yarns,

the pair of repeating patterns are either identical, or are only different from each other with respect to whether each lap of a knitted yarn is open or closed,

the first plurality of non-elastic yarns conforming to one of the pair of repeating patterns, the first plurality of elastic yarns overlapped on the first plurality of non-elastic yarns conforming to the one of the pair of repeating patterns, and the second plurality of elastic yarns conforming to the other of the pair of repeating patterns include a non-threaded position, and

the second plurality of non-elastic yarns conforming to the other of the pair of repeating patterns do not include a non-threaded position.

2 . The mesh warp knitted fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of repeating patterns have three to twelve courses as a repeating unit and are swung to right and left in a range of three to five wales.

3 . The mesh warp knitted fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of repeating patterns have four courses as a repeating unit and are swung to right and left in a range of three wales.

4 . The mesh warp knitted fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of repeating patterns have six courses as a repeating unit and are swung to right and left in a range of three or four wales.

5 . The mesh warp knitted fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of non-elastic yarns conforming to the one of the pair of repeating patterns are a plurality of half-set non-elastic yarns.

6 . The mesh warp knitted fabric according to claim 1 , wherein the second plurality of non-elastic yarns conforming to the other of the pair of repeating patterns are composed of a combination of a plurality of half-set non-elastic yarns and a plurality of half-set or full-set non-elastic yarns that fill up a non-threaded position of the plurality of half-set non-elastic yarns.

7 . The mesh warp knitted fabric according to claim 6 , further comprising a jacquard knitted texture composed of two half-set knits, wherein

one of the half-set knits that composes the jacquard knitted texture conforms to the one of the pair of repeating patterns, and the other of the half-set knits conforms to the other of the pair of repeating patterns.

8 . A textile product made of the mesh warp knitted fabric according to claim 1 .

9 . A textile product made of the mesh warp knitted fabric according to claim 2 .

10 . A textile product made of the mesh warp knitted fabric according to claim 3 .

11 . A textile product made of the mesh warp knitted fabric according to claim 4 .

12 . A textile product made of the mesh warp knitted fabric according to claim 5 .

13 . A textile product made of the mesh warp knitted fabric according to claim 6 .

14 . A textile product made of the mesh warp knitted fabric according to claim 7 .
