Abstract
Abstract IN THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE "PADDED KNIT FABRIC, PARTICULARLY FOR LINGERIE, AND METHOD OF ITS MANUFACTURE" Abstract of the Disclosure Padded fabric particularly suitable, for example, for padded brassieres is made by knitting, on a tricot or Raschel knitting machine, having at least three guide bars (53,54,55) and two rows (51,51') of spaced needles, inner and outer base fabrics (58,59) which are connected with interknitted filler threads (61) in the form of sinker stitches, extending between the base fabrics, the sinker stitches being bound into and connecting the base fabrics and being interknitted therewith. The filler threads can be suitably selected.for bending resistance, and, if a thermoplastic material, mixed for example with cotton, with the thermoplastic material predominating, permitting heat-treatment of the resulting padded material to form, for example, brassiere cups of desired thickness, and hence padding material content.
