Method and apparatus for producing automatically shaped tubular knitwear items with graduated anatomic support and control and products obtained thereby

摘要

The invention relates to tubular knitwear items (1) suitably shaped or modeled without the usual cutting/sewing operations, characterized by dimensionally little or non elastic fabric zones, said zones being structurally and functionally connected as a textile frame for anatomic support and control. According to the jacquard design and to the work cycle of the textile machine, the invention enables the production of differentiated-growth fabric in specific areas or zones by means of the programmed exclusion of stitches or knitted courses and the simultaneous production of exceeding stitches or three-dimensional inner frills (Bi), structurally having lower elasticity, thus also obtaining a programmed deformation of the knitted tube.
