ELASTIC WARP KNITTED FABRIC HAVING STRETCH-PREVENTING FUNCTION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an elastic warp knitted fabric which can be tightly fitted to a body and does not loosen during use, thereby having sufficient fixation performance even in a part such as a joint part bending and stretching/contracting to a great extent, and which has such elasticity as to follow the movement of a skin surface.;SOLUTION: The warp knitted fabric includes non-elastic yarns and elastic yarns. In the warp knitted fabric, insertion yarns composed of non-elastic yarns are arranged as stretch-preventing yarns in the longitudinal direction. The warp knitted fabric has a longitudinal elongation of 20-70% under a load of 4.9 N and the ratio of a longitudinal elongation under a load of 22.5 N to that under a load of 14.7 N [(longitudinal elongation under a load of 22.5 N/longitudinal elongation under a load of 14.7 N)×100] of 100-130. The non-elastic yarns from a first reed and the elastic yarns from a second reed constitute a ground weave. The insertion yarns composed of the non-elastic yarns are arranged in a third reed.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT
