Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to narrow width textile fabric bands and tapes and, more particularly, to a narrow-width textile fabric tape of a crochet-knitted structure adapted particularly for use as a mattress closing tape.
- In the manufacture of conventional mattresses, box springs and the like, a bead or cord is typically enclosed within a narrow-width fabric band or tape which is sewn with the fabric covering of the mattress or box spring at the edges defining one or both of the upper and lower perimeters of the mattress or box spring in order to form a finished border thereat. Conventionally such narrow-width bands or tapes are formed of a relatively stiff fabric material, typically of a woven construction, which provides durability against abrasion but disadvantageously produces a relatively rough feel and hand which can detract from the comfort of the mattress and/or box spring. In addition, the stiffness of such conventional tapes tends to result in folds or puckers in the tape when sewn into a mattress construction, particularly at the corners of the mattress, which further detracts from the aesthetic appearance of the mattress as well as further detracting from the feel and comfort of the mattress border.
- More recently, attempts have been made to produce aesthetically pleasing and functional mattress closing tapes of a knitted fabric construction, typically a crochet-knitted narrow-width band or tape. Representative examples which have been offered commercially or produced by the C.T. Nassau Company and American Textile Tape Company. While these knitted mattress closing tapes have begun to achieve a modest level of acceptance within the bedding industry, such products either lack the aesthetic patterning available with conventional woven mattress tapes (as with the C.T. Nassau Company product) and/or have been of comparable stiffness to the known woven mattress tapes (as with the American Textile Tape Company product) so as to thereby fail to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages thereof
- It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a novel and improved mattress closing tape made of a crochet knitted fabric construction which achieves an aesthetically pleasing surface patterning while maintaining a desirably flexible fabric structure which will closely conform to a mattress bead or cord with minimal, if any, puckering or folding.
- Briefly summarized, the mattress closing tape of the present invention is produced on a crochet-type warp knitting machine having multiple warp yarns and multiple filling yarns forming a base fabric layer at one face of the tape and a patterned fabric layer at the opposite face of the tape. In a preferred embodiment, the warp yarns comprise a single warp of multiple warp yarns inter-knitted with at least four differentially knitted filling yarns. The warp yarns are formed into crochet-type chain stitches extending lengthwise along the tape fabric. A first single base filling yarn and a second single base filling yarn traverse weftwise, i.e., laterally, back and forth across all of the warp yarns through the individual chain stitch loops to form the base fabric structure. A set of multiple third pattern filling yarns and a set of multiple fourth pattern filling yarns are knitted into the fabric structure at spacings (preferably uniform spacings) across the width of the tape fabric, each of the pattern filling yarns traversing back and forth across a few respective ones of the warp yarns according to respective pre-selected traversal patterns, thereby to produce the patterned layer of the tape fabric. Preferably the pattern filling yarns traverse diagonally in opposition to one another in symmetrical patterns which thereby produce a pattern of a diamond-like appearance. In the preferred embodiment, the base filling yarns are knitted at the technical face of the fabric while the sets of the pattern filling yarns are knitted at the technical back of the fabric. It is further preferred that the sets of the pattern filling yarns be fed at a slightly retarded or delayed timing relative to the base filling yarns and the warp yarns so as to not be captured within the chain stitch loops of the warp yarns but instead are captured by the underlaps extending between the chain stitch loops at the technical back of the fabric.

- With reference now to the accompanying drawings and initially to FIGS.1-3, a preferred embodiment of a mattress closing tape in accordance with the present invention is depicted schematically at 10 in such drawings. The mattress closing tape is preferably fabricated on a crochet-type warp knitting machine such as manufactured by the Comez Company of Italy, but as those persons skilled in the relevant art and industry will recognize and understand, many other crochet and warp knitting machines may likewise be utilized to produce the same and similar mattress closing tape fabrics. FIG. 4, as above-indicated, sets forth technical specifications for the individual yarns to be utilized in manufacturing the mattress closing tape and the machine settings of the warp knitting machine appropriate for manufacturing the construction depicted in FIG. 1.
- Basically, the
mattress closing tape 10 comprises a single set ofwarp yarns 12 fed from a single warp beam (not shown) or other suitable feeding mechanism. In the preferred form of thetape 10 depicted in FIGS. 1-3, the warp comprises 24warp yarns 12 fed into the warp knitting machine in conventional fashion in the form of a sheet of the warp yarns traveling in parallel side-by-side form. Thetape 10 further includes fourdiffering fillings warp yarns 12 by means of four differing filling feed bars designated in FIGS. 1-4 asBars first filling 14 comprises a single base filling yarn fed by FillingBar 4 to traverse laterally back-and-forth across the full width of the warp sheet ofyarns 12. Similarly, thesecond filling 16 comprises a single base filling yarn fed by FillingBar 3 to traverse across the full width of the warp sheet ofyarns 12 but in mirror-image opposition to thefilling yarn 14. Thethird filling 18 comprises a set of multiple pattern filling yarns (in the preferred embodiment, a total of 21 filling yarns 18) fed in uniformly spaced side-by-side relation byFilling Bar 2 to traverse weftwise back-and-forth laterally relative to the warp sheet ofyarns 12 in reciprocal shogging movements of theFilling Bar 2 of an amount corresponding to the spacing of twowarp yarns 12. Thefourth filling 20 similarly comprises a set of plural uniformly spaced pattern filling yarns (also preferably a total of 21filling yarns 20 in the illustrated construction) fed byFilling Bar 1 which likewise shogs back-and-forth laterally relative to the warp sheet ofyarns 12 in reciprocating movements equivalent to the spacing of twowarp yarns 12, but in mirror image opposed relation to thefilling yarns 18 ofFilling Bar 2. - In conventional fashion, the warp knitting machine manipulates the
warp yarns 12 by means of a needle bar (not shown) of the machine to form eachwarp yarn 12 into a series of sequential uniformly-spaced chain stitches extending lengthwise along thetape 10 in parallel relation with eachother warp yarn 12, the chain stitches thereby being aligned in parallel lengthwise extending wales W along the full length of the tape and weftwise (i.e. widthwise) parallel courses C. As the chain stitches of thewarp yarns 12 are being formed in each sequential course, theFillings Bars base filling yarns Filling Bars pattern filling yarns warp yarns 12, whereby thepattern filling yarns tape 10 at the technical back of the fabric structure, with the opposing motions of theFilling Bars Filling Bars warp yarns 12 by the needle bar and the manipulation of thebase filling yarns Bars pattern filling yarns warp yarns 12 but instead are inlaid underneath the underlaps of thewarp yarns 12, i.e., the lengthwise segments of the warp yarns extending between the successive chain stitches. - For further clarity, the individual patterns of the
base filling yarns Bars pattern filling yarns Bars - As those persons skilled in the art will recognize and understand, the crochet knitted fabric of the
tape 10 provides unique advantages in the use of such tape as a mattress closing tape in the fabrication of mattresses and other bedding products. While the specific construction of thetape 10 provides a desirable level of stiffness across the width of the tape, the knitted construction is sufficiently flexible to be readily conformable laterally and lengthwise about a cord or bead utilized about the perimeter of a mattress or other bedding or similar product, with minimal, if any, folding or puckering. Thetape 10 has sufficient natural flatness and dimensional stability to be easily handled during sewing of the tape into a mattress, enabling more uniform seams to be produced. The pattern executed by thepattern fillings tape 10 on a crochet knitting machine, numerous other patterning possibilities become available. The multiple layers produced by the four fillings of the tape fabric provide sufficient thickness to lend depth to the tape, enhancing the feel and appearance of the fabric and further enhancing the patterned appearance. - Likewise, those persons skilled in the relevant art and industry will recognize and understand that numerous variations and modifications may be made in the tape of the present invention without departing from the scope and the substance of the invention. For example, the use of additional fillings, variations in the sizes and types of the filling and warp yarns, and variations in the stitch patterns executed by the
Filling Bars - It will therefore be readily understood by those persons skilled in the art that the present invention is susceptible of broad utility and application. Many embodiments and adaptations of the present invention other than those herein described, as well as many variations, modifications and equivalent arrangements, will be apparent from or reasonably suggested by the present invention and the foregoing description thereof, without departing from the substance or scope of the present invention. Accordingly, while the present invention has been described herein in detail in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that this disclosure is only illustrative and exemplary of the present invention and is made merely for purposes of providing a full and enabling disclosure of the invention. The foregoing disclosure is not intended or to be construed to limit the present invention or otherwise to exclude any such other embodiments, adaptations, variations, modifications and equivalent arrangements, the present invention being limited only by the claims appended hereto and the equivalents
