DOUBLE-LAYER KNITTED FABRIC Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC D04B1/00 

FIELD: textile; paper.

SUBSTANCE: knitted fabric contains two layers of incomplete jersey structure, displaced relative to each other by one needle pitch and connected to each other by stitches of incomplete lasting. To form one layer of this knitted fabric, three stitch-forming systems are required. In the first stitch-forming system on needles of a disc with high position of anvils the incomplete jersey structure is knitted, in the second system - also incomplete jersey structure is knitted on cylinder needles with upper position of anvils, but it is displaced by one needle pitch relative to incomplete jersey structure, formed on disc needles with high position of anvils, and in the third system a connecting thread is laid onto needles of the disc and the cylinder with lower position of anvils. The connecting thread joins two layers of incomplete jersey structure by stitches of incomplete lasting. The connecting thread is laid between two layers of jersey fabric in the form of broaches and exits to both sides to form longitudinal strips.

EFFECT: expanded assortment of double-layer weaves, increased stability of shape and possibility to use jersey at both sides and to control jersey tensility.
