Abstract: A roller has knit fabric at its surface and which is employed in an apparatus permitting achievement of conservation of resources, conservation of energy, and low cost, and an apparatus employing such a roller. Roller 1 covered with covering 3 including knit fabric at its surface causes conveyance, supply, or other such movement of an object, or uses an to dry or cool an object as it is moved, or rotates while causing an object to be subjected to suction. Knit fabric 3a covering the roller surface has gaps having air permeability and steps 6 comprising stripes in a pattern of bands at the front and back surfaces; the stripes in the pattern of bands are perpendicular to the direction of rotation at the surface of the rotating support body 2. Loops making up knit fabric 3a have domains of small loops 4c and large loops 4b.

Abstract: Provided is a highly elastic and pliant knitted fabric which affords restorability against repetitive stretching, has characteristic of varying in electrical resistance with state changes between stretched state and unstretched state, and may provide air permeability, moisture permeability, and water absorbability for suitable use as wearable material. A direction in which continuous loops are successively formed in knit structure is defined as course direction or course, loops are formed of conductive yarn, elastic yarn is positioned so as to exhibit tightening force in course direction, and the knitted fabric is designed so that, when in unstretched state, conductive yarn loops arranged adjacent each other in course direction are kept in contact with each other under tightening force of elastic yarn, whereas, in a state of being stretched in course direction, conductive yarn loops move away from each other against tightening force of elastic yarn.

Abstract: In a harness for conduction, a knitted fabric that despite having high stretchability and flexibility as well as restorability at the time of repeated elongation, has the characteristics that a change in electrical resistance is zero or suppressed between elongation and non-elongation has never been available.

Abstract: (PROBLEM) To provide a seamless conveyor belt comprising knit fabric. (SOLUTION MEANS) A seamless conveyor belt employing monofilament made up of continuous fiber at filament constituting core yarn; being made up of weft-knit or warp-knit in which there is mutual intertwining of filament; flexural stress and heat causing monofilament at core yarn to undergo plastic deformation at locations of entanglement; being a seamless knit belt (1a) comprising a knit pattern (8) which is weft-knit or warp-knit; being a knit pattern (8) in which pitch (Ps) of stitch loops in a width direction (18) is smaller than pitch (Pg) of stitch loops in a conveying direction (17) of the seamless knit belt; mutually contacting loops (9) and filament undergoing deformation; entangled regions of filament being maintained; fraying at side ends of the knit belt (1a) during conveyance by the conveyor belt being prevented; spacing of pitch (Ps) of stitch loops in the width direction (18) being small; and strength being improved.

Abstract: A conveyor belt comprising knit fabric of high practicality, and an apparatus which uses such a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt includes weft knit fabric. Suction of air from below belt(s) is used to convey sheet-like and/or small thing(s) which are object(s) to be conveyed that are placed. The strength of filament(s) of knit fabric at side end(s) is adequately maintained. Loops exhibit mutual intertwining of filament(s) Pitch Ps of loops in width direction is formed so as to be smaller than pitch Pg of loops in conveying direction. Adjacent loops are mutually flattened and filament(s) of loop(s) are entangled, mutual intertwining of filament(s) causes knit fabric to have suppressed percentage elongation and increased strength in conveying direction, fraying of filament(s) at side end(s) of belt(s) is prevented, and strength is adequately increased.
