KNITTED COMPONENT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18514170 titled 'KNITTED COMPONENT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a knitted component with inlaid strands of different yarns to create a unique design.
- The knitted component includes a course with multiple loops.
- An inlaid strand made of a second yarn is incorporated into the knitted component.
- The course is divided into two portions, with one portion formed with a first yarn and the other with the second yarn.
- The inlaid strand is placed within the first portion of the course.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in the fashion industry for creating intricate and visually appealing knitwear designs. It could also have applications in the production of textiles for home decor and upholstery.
Problems Solved
This innovation allows for the creation of knitted components with unique patterns and textures that would be difficult to achieve with traditional knitting techniques. It provides a way to add visual interest and complexity to knitted fabrics.
Benefits
- Enhanced design possibilities in knitwear - Increased versatility in textile production - Ability to create custom and intricate patterns
Potential Commercial Applications
"Knitted Component with Inlaid Strands: Innovative Textile Design for Fashion and Home Decor"
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing patents or prior art related to inlaid strands in knitting techniques, but specific information on prior art is not provided in this disclosure.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact the durability of the knitted component?
The abstract does not mention the durability of the knitted component with inlaid strands. It would be important to understand how the addition of inlaid strands affects the overall strength and longevity of the fabric.
Are there limitations to the types of yarns that can be used for the inlaid strands?
The abstract does not specify any restrictions on the types of yarns that can be used for the inlaid strands. It would be useful to know if certain yarns are more suitable for this technique or if there are limitations based on yarn properties.
Original Abstract Submitted
In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a knitted component comprising a course with a plurality of loops. An inlaid strand formed of a second yarn may be included in the knitted component. A first portion of the course may be formed with a first yarn and a second portion of the course may be formed with the second yarn. The inlaid strand may be inlaid within the first portion of the course.
