ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to improved pile fabrics containing courses in which at least two pile forming yarns are meshed across a complete course together cooperatively in various fabric constructions, and respectively into a ground fabric, and forming pile loops one another alternatively in succeeding wales or areas. The fabric is manufactured according to a process in which needles are moved into a feeding position in which they remain, meanwhile in at least two succeeding sections, alternatively, pile elements are selected and raised and after the feeding of a pile yarn are retracted to an intermediate position. The pile yarns are controlled separately from one another and are unaffected in their movement to the loop-forming and meshing action. The manufacturing is realized on circular knitting machinery having a plurality of knitting sections of a type having at least two cooperative beds adapted for movable disposition therein of respective circles of knitting needles and arranged for respective movement of knitting needles transversely of and between a circle of pile elements arranged in the other bed for respective movement of the pile elements each having a pile yarn engaging hook. The pile loops can be severed according to an arrangement provided for in the knitting machine.
