Knitted fabric article

Abstract

A knitted fabric article, one or a plurality of dissimilarly bright and dark regions which transition into one another in a stepless manner being configured on the knitted fabric article external side of said knitted fabric article, which has a knitted base fabric composed of at least one knitted base fabric thread, wherein the knitted base fabric is embodied as a knitted compression fabric and/or as a thin knitted fabric which in the worn position is transparent.

1 . A knitted fabric article, one or a plurality of dissimilarly bright and dark regions which transition into one another in a stepless manner being configured on the knitted fabric article external side of said knitted fabric article, which has a knitted base fabric composed of at least one knitted base fabric thread, wherein the knitted base fabric is embodied as a knitted compression fabric and/or as a thin knitted fabric which in the worn position is transparent. 
     
     
         2 . The knitted fabric article according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one elastic weft or support thread is inserted or interknitted in the knitted compression fabric. 
     
     
         3 . The knitted fabric article according to  claim 1 , wherein the brightness dissimilarities are formed by printing or coloration the knitted base fabric. 
     
     
         4 . The knitted fabric article according to  claim 3 , wherein the knitted base fabric has a base color and is only locally printed or dyed, or in that the knitted base fabric is completely printed or dyed. 
     
     
         5 . The knitted fabric article according to  claim 4 , wherein the knitted base fabric at least in portions is composed of a plurality of knitted base fabric threads which in terms of the printed color or the dyed color have dissimilar color uptake properties. 
     
     
         6 . The knitted fabric article , according to  claim 5 , wherein the knitted base fabric thread or threads that takes/take up the color are knitted only locally into the knitted base fabric. 
     
     
         7 . The knitted fabric article according to  claim 6 , wherein the loop count of the knitted base fabric threads that take up the color continuously decreases in the stepless transition region from one region to the neighboring region. 
     
     
         8 . The knitted fabric article according to  claim 1 , wherein the knitted base fabric is composed of a plurality of knitted base fabric threads, wherein the dissimilarly bright regions are formed by dissimilarly bright knitted base fabric threads. 
     
     
         9 . The knitted fabric article according to  claim 8 , wherein the loop count of the knitted base fabric threads having a dissimilar color in the stepless transition region continuously decreases from one region ( 9 - 12 ) to the neighboring region ( 13 - 16 ). 
     
     
         10 . The knitted fabric article according to  claim 8 , wherein also the colored weft or support thread on the knitted fabric external side are in part knitted in a loop-forming manner. 
     
     
         11 . The knitted fabric article according to  claim 1 , wherein knitted base fabric in terms of the external color is thermally sensitive, and the dissimilarly bright regions are generated by an at least local thermal treatment. 
     
     
         12 . The knitted fabric article according to  claim 1 , wherein the knitted base fabric is a non-transparent dark knitted fabric which has local brighter regions, or is a non-transparent knitted fabric which, in comparison to the base color of the knitted base fabric, has brighter and darker regions. 
     
     
         13 . The knitted fabric article according to  claim 1 , wherein the darker regions, in terms of the worn position, are provided on the lateral portions of the tubular knitted compression fabric article. 
     
     
         14 . The knitted fabric article according to  claim 1 , wherein said knitted fabric article is an arm or leg stocking, a pantyhose, an upper garment, or a torso garment. 
     
     
         15 . The knitted fabric article according to  claim 13 , which is embodied as a leg stocking or as a pantyhose, wherein the darker regions extend from the calf to beyond the upper leg, and/or in that said knitted fabric article has a graduated pressure profile, wherein the highest pressure is in the region of the ankle.
