Crochet-knitted mattress closing tape

Abstract

A mattress closing tape formed of a crochet-type warp knitted construction comprises a set of warp yarns knitted in parallel series of lengthwise-extending chain stitches, first and second base filling yarns inlaid widthwise in opposing relation to each other through the chain stitches of the warp yarns to form a base fabric layer, and third and fourth sets of multiple pattern filling yarns inlaid diagonally in opposing relation to one another beneath the underlaps of the warp yarns to form a diamond pattern layer.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A mattress closing taped comprising a set of warp yarns and multiple fillings inter-knitted in a crochet-type warp knitted construction to produce a base fabric layer and a patterned fabric layer.  
     
     
         2 . A mattress closing tape according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least four fillings.  
     
     
         3 . A mattress closing tape according to  claim 2 , wherein two base fillings traverse the full widthwise extent of the tape to form a base fabric structure and two pattern fillings traverse relative to one another to form a predetermined pattern.  
     
     
         4 . A mattress closing tape according to  claim 3 , wherein the base fillings are formed at the technical face of the tape and the pattern fillings are formed at the technical back of the tape.  
     
     
         5 . A mattress closing tape according to  claim 3 , wherein one base filling comprises a single filling yarn, the other base filling comprises a single filling yarn, one pattern filling comprises multiple filling yarns and the other pattern filling comprises multiple filling yarns.  
     
     
         6 . A mattress closing tape according to  claim 3 , wherein the base fillings traverse in opposing mirror-image relation to one another and the pattern fillings traverse in opposing mirror-image relation to one another.  
     
     
         7 . A mattress closing tape according to  claim 6 , wherein the pattern fillings form a diamond pattern.  
     
     
         8 . A mattress closing tape substantially as shown and described.
