Abstract: A warp knit, weft inserted fabric substrate for use as a strength component in vinyl coated and laminated backlit signs, awnings and in other applications where stability and uniform geometry is desired. The stable knit construction of the fabric is achieved by doubling the number of stitches or courses per inch of fabric. To avoid changing the industry-wide standard fabric construction of 18x12 with the stitch doubling, weft yarns are inserted every other stitch. In a fabric having an 18 x 12 construction, the number of stitches doubles from 12 to 24. The final fabric construction is 18 warp ends per inch, 12 weft ends per inch, and 24 courses per inch. Although the course count increases from 12 to 24 stitches per inch, only one weft yarn is inserted for every two stitches rather than every stitch as currently done in the prior art. By doubling the number of stitches through shortening the stitch length, the weft or filling yarns area forced to remain in a restricted are of the fabric.

Abstract: A warp knit, weft inserted lap side loop pile fabric for use as the loop, fabric for an article of manufacture which has hooks thereon to engage the loops to hold the article of manufacture in a pre-selected position. In one form of the invention the lap side loop pile fabric is coated with an acrylic latex to provide strength and rigidity.

Abstract: A warp knit, weft inserted fabric for use as a substrate between sheets of PVC film laminated thereto and used in outdoor signs. The fabric is a two bar fabric with the front bar having a movement of 1-0/0-1/1-2/2-1 and the back bar having a movement of 1-1/1-1/0-0/0-0.

Abstract: An athletic support fabric having a knit synthetic substrate with an adhesive coated on the face thereof. The substrate has a weft yarn inserted on the face and a non-woven web on the rear thereof, each being held in place by a chain stitch knitted therethrough.
