Abstract

The invention relates to a fabric that comprises: - an upper layer, comprising warp and weft yarns, defining a right side of the fabric; - a lower layer, comprising warp and weft yarns, defining a wrong side of the fabric; - a median plane, situated between the upper layer and the lower layer; and - a central layer, arranged on either side of the median plane, comprising at least warp and/or weft binding yarns. This fabric is characterised in that the binding yarns are configured to maintain a certain distance between the median plane and the right side and/or the wrong side, said distance varying in the warp direction of the fabric and/or in the weft direction of the fabric, so as to form a raised pattern on a surface of the fabric. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a fabric according to the invention.

IPC Classes  ?

• D03C 3/12 - Multiple-shed jacquards, i.e. jacquards which move warp threads to several different heights, e.g. for weaving pile fabrics
• D03C 3/00 - Jacquards
• D03D 11/02 - Fabrics formed with pockets, tubes, loops, folds, tucks or flaps
• D03D 11/00 - Double or multi-ply fabrics not otherwise provided for
• D03D 13/00 - Woven fabrics characterised by the special disposition of the warp or weft threads, e.g. with curved weft threads, with discontinuous warp threads, with diagonal warp or weft
