Claims
- 1. A knit decking suspension fabric comprising: a plurality of polymeric yarns, said yarns comprising textured warp and weft knitted yarns and a non-textured multifilament warp yam, said multifilament yarn having a denier larger than said textured warp and weft knitted yarns, said multifilament yarn knitted in and exposed on only one surface of said fabric to form a series of parallel ribs in the warp direction, said multifilament yarn being unexposed on the opposite surface, said opposite surface being relatively smooth and regular.
- 2. A knit decking suspension fabric as claimed in claim 1 wherein said textured yarn has a denier in the 50 to 200 range.
- 3. A knit decking suspension fabric as claimed in claim 1 wherein said multifilament yarn has a denier in the 700 to 1,700 range.
- 4. A knit decking suspension fabric as claimed in claim 1 wherein said textured yarn has a denier of 150.
- 5. A knit decking suspension fabric as claimed in claim 1 wherein said plurality of polymeric yarn comprises a trio of yarns, said trio of yarns comprising a pair of 150 denier textured yarns and a 1,000 denier multifilament yarn.
- 6. A warp knit decking suspension fabric comprising: a plurality of bar yarns, said plurality of bar yarns comprising a pair of textured polymeric yarns having a relatively small denier, and a third bar yarn comprising a non-textured multifilament yarn, said multifilament yarn having a denier larger than said pair of textured polymeric yarns, said multifilament yarn knitted in said fabric and forming a series of raised ribs with said multifilament yarn exposed along only one surface of said fabric, said multifilament yarn being unexposed on the opposite surface of the fabric, said multifilament yarn positioned in the warp direction of said fabric, said opposite surface of said fabric being relatively smooth and regular.
- 7. A warp knit decking suspension fabric as claimed in claim 6 wherein said pair of textured polymeric yarns are knit with a full thread stitch and said multifilament yarn comprises a 1-in, 3-out stitch.
- 8. A warp knit decking suspension fabric as claimed in claim 7 wherein said multifilament yarn comprises a yarn having a 1,000 denier.
- 9. A decking suspension material comprising: a planar base, a plurality of heavy denier non-textured polymeric yarns, said heavier denier yarns sewn into only one surface of said base, said sewn-in yarns being exposed and forming raised parallel ribs therealong, said opposite surface of said base being relatively smooth and regular.
- 10. The decking suspension material as claimed in claim 9 wherein said base comprises a textile fabric.
- 11. The decking suspension material as claimed in claim 9 wherein said heavy denier yarn comprises a denier in the range of from 100 to 1,000.
- 12. The decking suspension material as claimed in claim 9 wherein said heavy denier yarns are sewn in rows approximately 1/4 inch apart.
- 13. The decking suspension material as claimed in claim 9 wherein said heavy denier yarns are sewn in parallel rows 1/8 to 1 inch apart.
- 14. The decking suspension material as claimed in claim 9 and including a foam layer, said foam layer attached to said base.
- 15. The decking suspension material as claimed in claim 9 wherein said heavy denier yarns are sewn in rows approximately 1/16 of an inch wide on said base.
- 16. The decking suspension material as claimed in claim 14 wherein said foam layer is attached to the bottom surface of said base to thereby cover said heavy denier yarns.
- 17. The decking suspension material as claimed in claim 9 wherein said base is formed from relatively light denier yarns.
- 18. The decking suspension material as claimed in claim 9 and including a backing layer, said backing layer attached to said base.
- 19. The decking suspension material as claimed in claim 18 wherein said backing layer comprises a polypropylene fabric.
- 20. The decking suspension material as claimed in claim 18 wherein said backing layer comprises a needle punched mat.
