Abstract
Abstract Novel spatial warp knitted structures are knitted on a double needle bar Raschel machine or a spatial warp knitting machine formed by modifying a double needle bar Raschel machine. A basic spatial warp knitted structure including two warp knitted fabrics facing each other, uniting threads uniting the two warp knitted fabrics, and insert warp threads and/or insert weft threads inserted between and in parallel to the two warp knitted fabrics so as to intersect the uniting threads or to be interlaced with the uniting threads. In practical application, the basic spatial warp knitted structure is modified by properly interlacing the insert warp threads and/or the insert weft threads with the uniting threads and by forming the warp knitted fabrics in a specific warp knitted construction, into a spatial warp knitted bank structure, a spatial warp knitted board structure having a hollow rectangular cross-section or a hollow segmental rectangular cross-section, a spatial warp knitted honeycomb structure, a spatial warp knitted honeycomb board structure, a spatial warp knitted skeleton structure comprising an assembly of cuboidal frames, or a spatial warp knitted structure having an I-shaped section, a Y-shaped section, or a T-shaped section.
