Definitions

  • My invention relates to plain knitted fabrics, such as hosiery, frame-work, knit goods, and the like.
  • the fabrics may be knit with any desired pattern, or combined with a ground fabric or backing, and may be made on any knitting machine, hosiery machine, and the like.
  • I form the courses of needle loops and thewales in the fabric from two threads both of which are knitted into every course.
  • One of the threads is knitted into alternate wales and floated across intervening wales in alternate courses, and knitted into inter-. vening wales and floated across alternate wales in intervening courses.
  • the other thread is knitted into intervening wales and floated across alternate wales in alternate courses, and knitted into alternate wales and floated across intervening Wales in intervening courses.
  • the loops formed from the individual threads are staggered throughout the courses so that the wales, like the courses, consist of alternating loops from one and from the other thread.
  • the loops in each course are formed from a single thread which is sunk-to form bights, and the bights are interlaced with; the loops of the preceding course which is also made of a single thread.
  • the individual courses of loops make up the known plain fabric which is readily stretched in all directions. Fabrics of this kind involve the drawback that if a thread breaks and a loop runs in consequence, all loops in the Wale in which the fault has occurred, beginning with the faulty loop, will also run.
  • Rig. 1 shows the laying of the two threads in front of and behind the needles of a knitting machine for one course of loops
  • Fig. 2 shows the laying for the next course of loops
  • Fig. 8 shows a portion of the fabric according to my invention, drawn to a larger scale
  • Figs. 4 and 5 illustrate the behaviour of two interlaced loops in a wale under a pull acting
  • a and b are the two threads.
  • the thread a is shown in plain sectioning and the thread b is cross-hatched.
  • Elements i to i are a row of needles on a fiat or a circular hosiery'frame, or any other suitable machine.
  • the thread a After sinking and before knocking off the needle loops of the preceding course from the needles 2', the thread a is laid alternately on 0pposite sides of each needle. Thus, it is laid in front of the needlles i 1' and i etc., and behind the needles i and 1' etc. Conversely, the thread b is laid behind the needles 1?, i 1 etc., and in front of the needles i 2, etc.
  • the laying of the threads at and b is reversed, i. e., the needle loops A formed from the thread a, in one of the courses are staggered with respect to the needle loops A formed from the thread a in the next course, and so are the needle loops B from the thread b.
  • the threads d and b alternately form the needle loops A and B in each course,- and in each Wale a needle loop A from the thread B from the thread b in the next course, and vice versa.
  • each loop connecting or floated portion e is below the closed end of the corresponding loop B from the thread b in the next course, and, viewed from the left side of the fabric, each portion 6 of the thread b is below the straight portions (1 of the thread a at its opposite ends.
  • each-loop A in a given course is interlaced with the closed end of the loop B of the next course at its open end in the same wale, and with the floated portion e of the thread b.
  • the floated portions 11 and e are quite taut in the fabric and therefore if the fabric is stretched in the direction of a wale for instance 9, Fig. 4, or in the direction of a course, for instance the alternate 33, Fig. 5, the floated portion e is, upon the slightest pull in the direction of the arrows drawn toward the closed end of the loop B in the same wale but in the next or intervening course 4-4 so that the loop A is locked at its open end in opposite directions by the loop B and the floated portion e.
  • the same occurs with respect to the locking of each loop B by the corresponding straight portion d of the thread a and the corresponding loop A in. the same wale but in the next course.
  • the unbroken thread, a or b prevents the pulling short of the loops to such an extent that a loop A or B which has become unlocked by the breaking of its thread a or b, slips from the loop of unbroken thread in which it is locked, for the loops from the unbroken thread, in the present instance, the loops B, permit pulling short of the loops only within the limits of the undamaged fabric, and consequently my fabric can never be stretched to such an extent that the ends of the broken thread are released.
  • ladders are also prevented by the interlacing of the loops.
  • ladders will form in the sinker-loop or intervening wales 6, 8, i0, l2, [4 as the sinker loops C are smaller than the needle loops and therefore a broken thread in a sinker-loop wale will slip more readily fro-n its interlocking connection to the adJBrered by these claims is expressly reserved.
  • cent loops A and B and the floated portions (2 and e than in an alternate or needle-loop wale Suppose now that the thread a. breaks in course 3 and in the sinker-loop wale 8. The succeeding loops C will not become unmeshed, as the sinker 5 loops 0 are formed of the two threads at and b together, one half of each sinker loop C being formed from the shank A of the loop B in the adjacent needle-loop wale I and the other half being formed from the shank A of the needle loop A in the adjacent wale 9.
  • a plain-knitted run-resisting fabric comprising two threads both of which are knitted into every course; one of said threads being knitted into alternate wales and floated across intervening wales in alternate courses, and being knitted into intervening wales and floated across alternate wales in intervening courses; and the other of said threads being knitted into intervening wales and floated across alternate wales in alternate courses, and being knitted into alternate wales and floated across intervening wales in intervening courses.
  • a plain-knitted run-resisting fabric comprising two threads both of which are knitted into every course; one of said threads being knitted into alternate wales and floated across intervening wales in alternate courses, and being knitted into intervening wales and floated across alternate wales in intervening courses; the other of said threads being knitted into intervening wales and floated across alternate wales in alternate courses, and being knitted into alternate wales and floated across intervening wales in intervening courses, the floats beingat the back of the fabric, and the floats of one of said threads being closer to the face of the fabric than the floats of the other thread.
