Definitions

  • This invention relates to circular knit hosiery and method of making the same.
  • Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a circular knit stocking constructed in accordancewith my invention
  • Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a circular knit stocking having ribbed work in the leg and in the front of the ankle and top of the foot, said stocking being constructed in accordance with my invention;
  • Fig. 3 is a very much enlarged diagrammatic view of a portion of the knitted fabric of a stocking shown in Fig. 1, and clearly showing the temporary binding in of the float threads of the high splice and double sole by the floated portions of the lap stripes;
  • Fig. 4 is a similar representation of a portion of the fabric of the stocking shown in Fig. 2;
  • Fig. 5 is a transverse section through the foot of a stocking upon an enlarged scale showing a further embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig. 1 I have represented at 1 a circular knit or so-called seamless stocking having the usual narrowed and widened heel 2 and toe 3.
  • the stocking is also provided with a high splice 5 and a double sole 6 by introducing an additional or reinforcing yarn which is knitted in with the main yarn 4throughout substantially one half the circle of the needles for the high splice and for the double sole and is floated for the remainder ofthe circle of needles.
  • the shape ber arranged at desired intervals.
  • Said lap stripes are preferably made by introducing an additional thread or threads at the lap stripe areas and interknitting the said lap threads with the main knitting thread.
  • each lap thread is lloated from each outgoing edge of a lap stripe across to the incoming edge thereof.
  • the high splice yarn is indicated at 12 in Fig. 3. It is, as stated, interknitted with the main yarn throughout the high splice area, and it or another suitable yarn is interknitted with the foot yarn in reinforcing the sole. Said yarn 12 is floated as indicated at 13 from the outgoing edge of the high splice and the reinforced sole in each course around to the ingoing edge. Heretofore in floating such yarn the same has extended directly across the fabric in a ladder effect to be subsequently cut out or said float thread lies directly against the inner face of the reinforced area.
  • each float thread 13 is cut at its two ends; that is, at the outgoing and incoming edges of the reinforced areas of the high splice and double sole, and said cut Heats are then entirely withdrawn from the fabric, it being evident that said Ho'ats are easily drawn out from beneath the short Heat portions 11 of the lap stripes inasmuch as said Heats 13 are not interknitted with the lap stripes.
  • a stocking 14 a portion of which is formed by rib knitting, such rib knitted portion preferably being the upper part of the leg 15 and the,y front of the ankle 16 and the top of the foot 17 down to or about to the toe 18.
  • the heel 19 is of the usual narrowed and widened character and the high splice 20 and the double sole 21 are of the same character as those disclosed 4in connection with Fig. 1 and may be varied in shape or extent as desired.
  • Fig. 4 are shown alternate rib wales and plain wales, the rib wales being indicated at 22 and the plain wale at'23.
  • the high splice and the double sole yarn where not interknitted with the main arn (which desirably is there knitted plain as for example at the high splice and the sole) is Heated as indicated at 24, but said Heats do not extend straight across the fabric from side to side with. a ladder effect, but they lie between the wales of the rib work and plain work, being temporarily bound in thereby, as .clearly indicated in Fig. 4.
  • the said Heat threads 24 may, if desired, be removed bycutting them at the outgoing and incoming edges of the high splice and double sole. In this embodiment of my invention, however, as shown in Fig. 4, said Heats may be left'uncut and not be withdrawn from their ldescribed position.
  • the stockingherein disclosed may be made upon any suitable circular machine, as, forv example, upon the Banner machine having means (in making the fabric of Fig. 1) for incorporating lap threads or havin means (in making the fabric of Fig. 2) for itting rib work where desired, in which case a suitable dial will be provided with dial needles.
  • the reinforcing or other additional yarn may be interknitted at a plurality of points around the stocking, a s, for example, at two opposite points and that the said yarn may be Heated where not so knitted in.
  • the said Heated portions would be temporarily bound in at and by the Heat portions 10 of the lap stripe 7 in the manner already described.
  • two opposite, relatively' narrow, clocking areas may be provided by an additional yarn and said additional yarn would be Heated from one clocking area to the other and from said other clocking area back again to the first clocking area and Vso on" untilV the clocking areas are completed.
  • vthe instep yarn er the front ankle yarn is knitted in one half the needle circle plus two orthree needles at each side and then is Heated across from side to side.
  • the sole yarn is knitted in half the needle circle whereon the sole portion of the foot is made and overlaps by two or three needles at each side the instep yarn, and then is Heated across from side to side. This makes an imitation seam at each side of the foot.
  • My invention may be applied to a stocking constructed in this manner, and in Fig.
  • A, knitted fabric having an additional Cil yarn interknitted therein at one or more areas and having means for binding, in a non-knitting relation, the floated portion of said additional yarn said means for binding being 1nterknitted with the main yarn.
  • a stocking having one or more reinforcing areas each extending partway only about the stocking with oated portions, and means for temporarily binding, in a nonknitted relation, said floating portion said means for temporarily binding being interknitted with the body yarn of the stocking.
  • a stocking having one or more reinforcing areas each extending partway only about the stocking with floated portions, said stocking having additional threads knitted into the fabric, and binding in a non-knitted relation with floated portions.
  • a stocking having lap stripe areas produced by additional threads interknitted with the main thread said stocking having a reinforcing yarn or yarns extending partwa only about certain courses and floated in the remaining portion of each course, the said floated portions being bound, in a non-knitted relation, between theV main yarn and the lap threads, whereby upon severance of said floats they may be pulled out from the lap thread area.
  • a stocking having lap stripe areas pro quizd by additional threads interknitted with the main thread said stocking having a reinforcing yarn or yarns extending partway only about certain courses and floated in the remaining portion of each course, said reinforcing yarn or yarns being floated from outgoing edge to incoming edge of each lap stripe upon the inner face of the fabric, the float portions of the reinforcing yarns being temporarily bound in by the floated portions of the lap stripe.
  • That method of knitting which comprises knitting plain work and at intervals knitting in a reinforcing or additional yarn i and floating said reinforcing or additional yarn where not so interknitted, interknitting another thread with the main yarn and temporarily binding in said fioats by portions of said thread.
  • That method of knitting a circular knit stocking which comprises knitting the leg with lap threads at intervals, introducing a high splice or other reinforcing yarn for partial courses only and floating in the remaining parts of courses, said reinforcing yarn, 4in such manner that the floats are temporarily bound in by the said lap threads.
