Abstract

The skin material for an interior material, formed of a three-dimensional warp knitted fabric includes: front and back ground parts, each of which is formed with knitting yarns guided by at least two guide bars and has at least two knitting patterns, and connecting yarns that connect the front and back ground parts, wherein: the front ground part has a cord stitch pattern and another knitting pattern; a sum of a number of loops of the cord stitch pattern and a number of loops of the another knitting pattern is smaller than a sum of numbers of loops of the at least two knitting pattern forming the back ground part; and a ratio of the number of loops of the another knitting pattern with respect to the number of loops of the cord stitch pattern is from 20 to 80%.

Claims (19)

1. A skin material for an interior material, formed of a three-dimensional warp knitted fabric comprising: front and back ground parts, each of which is formed with knitting yarns guided by at least two guide bars and each of which has at least two knitting patterns; and connecting yarns that connect the front and back ground parts; wherein

the front ground part has a cord stitch pattern and another knitting pattern that is integrated with the cord stitch pattern,

a sum of a number of loops of the cord stitch pattern and a number of loops of the another knitting pattern integrated with the cord stitch pattern on the front ground part is smaller than a sum of numbers of loops of the at least two knitting patterns forming the back ground part, and

a ratio of the number of loops of the another knitting pattern integrated with the cord stitch pattern with respect to the number of loops of the cord stitch pattern is from 20 to 80%.

2. The skin material for an interior material according to claim 1 , wherein the another knitting pattern integrated with the cord stitch pattern is knitted by casting off of knitting yarns.

3. The skin material for an interior material according to claim 1 , wherein the another knitting pattern integrated with the cord stitch pattern is knitted by making looping of knitting yarns forming the knitting pattern be discontinuous in a warp direction by an interval of a prescribed courses.

4. The skin material for an interior material according to claim 1 , wherein the another knitting pattern integrated with the cord stitch pattern is knitted by casting off of knitting yarns, and by making looping of the knitting yarns be discontinuous in a warp direction by an interval of a prescribed courses.

5. A skin material for an interior material, formed of a three-dimensional warp knitted fabric comprising: front and back ground parts, each of which is formed with knitting yarns guided by at least two guide bars and each of which has at least two knitting patterns; and connecting yarns that connect the front and back ground parts; wherein

the front ground part has a cord stitch pattern and another knitting pattern that is integrated with the cord stitch pattern,

a sum of a number of loops of the cord stitch pattern and a number of loops of the another knitting pattern integrated with the cord stitch pattern on the front ground part is smaller than a sum of numbers of loops of the at least two knitting patterns forming the back ground part, and

a ratio of the number of loops of the another knitting pattern integrated with the cord stitch pattern with respect to the number of loops of the cord stitch pattern is from 20 to 80%; and

wherein the another knitting pattern integrated with the cord stitch pattern is knitted by casting off of knitting yarns on each of the two guide bars, and by making looping of the knitting yarns alternately in a warp direction by an interval of prescribed courses.

6. The skin material for an interior material according to claim 1 , wherein the back ground part has two knitting patterns that are formed with knitting yarns guided as full set by two guide bars and integrated with each other, and looping of knitting yarns forming the knitting patterns are made in all courses without an interval in a warp direction.

7. The skin material for an interior material according to claim 2 , wherein the back ground part has two knitting patterns that are formed with knitting yarns guided as full set by two guide bars and integrated with each other, and looping of knitting yarns forming the knitting patterns are made in all courses without an interval in a warp direction.

8. The skin material for an interior material according to claim 3 , wherein the back ground part has two knitting patterns that are formed with knitting yarns guided as full set by two guide bars and integrated with each other, and looping of knitting yarns forming the knitting patterns are made in all courses without an interval in a warp direction.

9. The skin material for an interior material according to claim 4 , wherein the back ground part has two knitting patterns that are formed with knitting yarns guided as full set by two guide bars and integrated with each other, and looping of knitting yarns forming the knitting patterns are made in all courses without an interval in a warp direction.

10. The skin material for an interior material according to claim 5 , wherein the back ground part has two knitting patterns that are formed with knitting yarns guided as full set by two guide bars and integrated with each other, and looping of knitting yarns forming the knitting patterns are made in all courses without an interval in a warp direction.

11. The skin material for an interior material according to claim 1 , wherein a spacer layer is formed with the connecting yarns between the front and back ground parts, and the spacer layer has a porosity of from 88.0 to 99.8%.

12. The skin material for an interior material according to claim 1 , wherein among the front and back ground parts, the ground part that is on a side adhered to the base material has fluff by a raising treatment.
