Title:
STRETCH WOVEN FABRIC, AND SPORTSWEAR AND SWIMWEAR EMPLOYING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/151820
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
 This stretch woven fabric (1) includes elastic yarns, the elastic yarns being arranged in the warp (4) and the weft (5, 6a, 6b). The stretch woven fabric has two-way stretch properties, and includes alternately repeating plain weave sections (2) and double weave sections (3). The elastic yarns are more numerous in the double weave sections (3) than in the plain weave sections (2) and provide reinforcement, and therefore the stretch properties are higher, and wear is easier. The plain weave sections are sunken portions and the double weave sections are raised portions, producing overall a stripe-shaped structure in which sunken and raised portions are arrayed in a single direction, whereby, in the case of swimwear for example, surface friction drag with respect to water flow can be reduced through use while the stripe shapes are aligned with the body height direction. In so doing, there are provided a stretch woven fabric that has high stretch properties, ease of wear, and low surface friction drag, and sportswear or swimwear that includes the fabric.
