Febric material for pressure molding without adhesive and lamination

Abstract

Weft knitted fabric for making molded cups directly without using a laminating sponge. The fabric includes three interlocked layers, overlayer, underlayer and connecting layer. The overlayer is formed from fusible fibers and polyurethane fibers, the underlayer is formed from microfiber and polyurethane fibers, and the connecting layer is formed from synthetic monofilament yarns.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An non-laminated knitted fabric, comprising an overlayer, an underlayer and a connecting layer, said overlayer being knitted with a fusible fiber and a synthetic elastomeric fiber, said underlayer being knitted with a synthetic microfiber and synthetic elastomeric fiber and said connecting layer being knitted with synthetic monofilament yarns which connect said overlayer and said underlayer through interlock stitches and provides a bulkiness to said fabric. 
     
     
         2 . The non-laminated knitted fabric of  claim 1 , wherein said microfiber, monofilament and fusible fiber are independently polyamide or polyester. 
     
     
         3 . The non-laminated knitted fabric of  claim 2 , wherein said elastomeric fiber is polyurethane. 
     
     
         4 . The non-laminated knitted fabric of  claim 1 , wherein said fabric is knitted on a knitting machine running 10 feed/2 needle for cycle. 
     
     
         5 . The non-laminated knitted fabric of  claim 4 , wherein said overlayer is formed from feeds  2 ,  4 ,  7  and  9 , said underlayer is formed from feeds  3 ,  5 ,  8  and  10 , and said connecting layer is formed from feeds  1  and  5 . 
     
     
         6 . The non-laminated knitted fabric of  claim 5 , wherein said overlayer is formed from fusible polyamide and polyurethane fibers, said underlayer is formed from microfiber and polyurethane fibers, and said connecting layer is formed from a synthetic monofilament. 
     
     
         7 . A molded cup, comprising a knitted fabric according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         8 . A clothing article, comprising a molded cup according to  claim 7 . 
     
     
         9 . The clothing article of  claim 8 , which is underwear or sportswear.
