  • Patent number: 11828010
    Abstract: A knitted spacer fabric has a first warp-knitted layer having wales running in a production direction and rows of stitches extending in a transverse direction, a second warp-knitted layer also having wales running in a production direction and rows of stitches extending in a transverse direction. Spacer yarns connect the knitted layers, and at least one of the knitted layers are composed of nonconductive yarns and conductive yarns. The conductive yarns are incorporated into the one knitted layer in some areas in a functional region extending in a production direction and resting on the respective knitted layer in a connection region that extends over a plurality of rows of stitches as a float stitch.

  • Patent number: 11525198
    Abstract: A spacer fabric has two textile layers and spacer yarns that transversely connect the textile layers and where the yarns forming the textile layers are composed exclusively of a nonmetallic material. In addition, at least a first portion of the spacer yarns is composed of metallic yarn, and a weight of all metallic spacer yarns is between 40 and 96% relative to the total weight of the spacer fabric.

  • Patent number: 11248320
    Abstract: A spacing knitted fabric has a first and a second flat knitted fabric layer that are connected to each other by incorporated spacing threads. The first knitted fabric layer has mesh-forming loop threads made from thermoplastic plastic and non-mesh-forming additional threads made of thermoplastic plastic. In the first knitted fabric layer, only the additional threads are at least partially melted and due to the at least partial melting, causing a reinforcement of the first knitted fabric layer.

  • Patent number: 11242628
    Abstract: A knitted spacer fabric has two transversely spaced knitted layers and first and second spacer yarns extending transversely between and connecting the knitted layers. Both knitted layers are formed by metal braid that is arranged such that laminar electrical and thermal conduction is provided by the metal braid in both knitted layers, and the first spacer yarns are also formed by metal braid.

  • Patent number: 11110870
    Abstract: A spacer fabric comprises a first and a second textile layer as well as spacer yarns that join the textile layers and is used to form an interior trim. The first textile layer is visible from outside on a surface of the interior trim, and the first textile layer and the spacer yarns are made entirely of polymeric multifilament yarns. At least the polymeric multifilament yarns of the first textile layer and of the spacer yarns are dyed.

  • Patent number: 11041263
    Abstract: A warp-knitted spacer fabric has a first and a second planar warp-knit layer that are joined together by spacer yarns. The first warp-knit layer is formed by a first yarn system having a first pattern and a second yarn system having a second pattern. The first pattern is a modified pillar-stitch in which the yarns of the first yarn system form pillar stitches in alternating sequence in the working direction and are guided without formation of stitches, and the yarns of the second yarn system are each guided over at least two adjacent stitch wales and running in the working direction. The second warp-knit layer has openings formed by a plurality of stitches.

  • Patent number: 10151054
    Abstract: A spacer knit fabric if formed with a first two-dimensional knit fabric layer and a second two-dimensional knit fabric layer. The first and the second two-dimensional knit fabric layers are interconnected via knitted spacer threads. The first two-dimensional knit fabric layer has openings formed by a plurality of stitches in each case. Threads of a first thread system, which forms the first two-dimensional knit fabric layer, are connected to each other solely by mutual intertwining. Channels are formed between the first and the second two-dimensional knit fabric layers that are free from spacer threads. The threads of a second thread system, which forms the second two-dimensional knit fabric layer, are connected to one another by intertwining and by at least partial fusion.

  • Patent number: 8286451
    Abstract: A spacer textile, particularly knitted spacer textile, has two cover plies spaced apart from one another, and spacer threads that connect the cover plies with one another. The cover plies are formed from a main thread system and a further thread system, forming courses that follow one another in the production direction. According to the invention, a first course is formed at least by the main thread system, and a second courses is formed by the further thread system. The thread or threads of the main thread system is/are guided without forming stitches, in the production direction, in the second course, and the cover plies have a lower tear strength there, when pulled in the production direction.
