' KNITTED FABRIC Filed sept. 1e, 1955 2 sheets-sheet 2 Patented. June' 8, 1937 UNITED SITES i ENTv OFFICE Application September 16, 1935, Serial No. 40,851
In Great Britain September 18, 1934y 2 Claims. (Cl. 66-50) 'Ihis invention is for a method of knitting, and anrobject thereof is to provide a mode of knitting fabric which is resistant to ladders. An-` other object is to provide a mode'of knitting a 5 new open-Work fabric.
The .fabrics according to this invention arev ing the said fabric, the lines 2-2, 3-3, etc., corresponding to the needle positions shown in Figures 3 to 6.
In the fabric shown in Figure l'there is at least one thread loop which is spread overA two wales and in at least one of said wales extends through a needle loopvof the Vsame course and itselfA continues on to forma needle loop. This, numbering the odd Wales F, H, etc., the even wales G, I,etc., the even courses 40 and the odd courses 4I, in course 40 the odd needle loop 0F is distended sideways and is passed through the even needle loop G, after which it is continued on. to form a needle loop Mfg. In the 1 next course lll,A the even needle loop MG is drawn, not through the preceding loop 40G, but
a5 through the loop 4llfg. The said loop MG is spread sideways into the needle wale H, being there passed through a needle loop 4 IH and continued on to form a needle loopl Hgh of a succeeding course. f
40 This fabric is produced by a method of knitting which comprises forming a course of stitches on a line of needles, spreading the needle loop from one needle over the nextneedle also, drawing said spread loop through the needle loop alf ready existing on the said needle and casting olf the said existing needle loop over it, and forming a new course of stitches. It is preferred that in any one course the loops shall beA spread, say, fromeach odd needle over the next even needle.
In the next course embodying spread loops, the
, loops may be spread from odd to even needles in the same or opposite direction, orthey may be spread from even to odd needles. Plain courses of stitches may` be interposed between the 56 courses incorporating spread stitches and the spread stitches may be grouped to form patterned areas.
,The stages in the production of the fabric by the vaid of a needle having a lateral projection for distending the loops are shown in Figures 5 2 to 6..
It is preferred to employ a special knitting needle having at or associated with its stem a lateral projecting part of bevelled or tapering' formation, which, `when projected into a stitch 10 loop, spreads the said loop laterally `and by cooperation with an'adjacent needle enables said spread loopto be received by said adjacent needle or if desired transferred to the same. Such needle is shown in Figures 2 to 6, in which g- 15 ures it has been elected to illustrate a latch needle. It will be observed that some distance beneath the latch- 23 the needle is provided at its front or hooked side with a part 25 that is also bent or cranked laterally to one side of the 20 needle. This tongue, which is preferably somewhat curved in cross section (as distinct from being b ent sharply at right angles) has its upper edge 25 inclined sothat as the needle is raised, as shown in Figure 2, the loop 40F encircling the '25 shank slides on to this part and is spread sufficiently to permit the next needle 24' to be projected upwards through it'as'is shown in Fig.
3. This loop 40F is, therefore, transixed by two the proceding loop 40G of the same Wale. This 40 t having been done, both needles are brought to feeding height as at Figure 5 and a new thread is fed into their hooks.' Thereafter, they des cend as in Figure 6v and from thisnew thread draw new loops MG, MF. 1 4'5 As before, the needles may be selected to make their various movements in any suitable manner, but it is preferred to employ two sets of needles differing in a physical characteristic such as length. Figure 7 illustrates a portion of the cam 50 box for a circular knitting machine in which the needles of one set are longer than the needles of theother set, said cam box being therefore provided With an upper and a lower 'cam race. At one feeding position, the short' needles 2l are 55 raised by a cam 43 until at the `line 2-2, they reach the distending position shown in Figure 2.
Immediately afterwards the long needles 24 are raised by a cam 44 in the lower cam race until at the line 3--3 they transfx the distended loops. Thereafter, the short needles are engaged by the cam face 45 and are lowered slightly to remove the distended loops from the projections 25, while the long needles 24' are lowered by' a stitch cam 46 so that at the line 4-4, they have drawn new loops such as 40fg from the thread of the loops that they previously transfixed. On approaching the next feeding position, these needles 24 are raised by a cam 41 until they reach the feeding height at the line 5, after which needles 24- tacting faces, and these fabrics may include fancy stitches such as tuck and held stitches.
1. A method of knitting which consists in form:-I ing stitch loops on needles, spreading at least one stitch loop from the needle on which it was formed onto an adjacent needle also, drawing the spread loop through the existing stitch loop on said.
adjacent needle and casting off said existing loop. and forming new stitch loops on the needles.
2. A method of knitting on a line of needles which comprises forming a course of stitches thereon, spreading the loops from certain needles to adjacent needles at one side thereof so that said adjacent needles hold two loops, drawing the spread loops through the existing loops on said adjacent needles and casting olf the said existing loops, forming a subsequent course of stitches on the-needles, spreading the loops from certain needles to adjacent needles at the other side thereof so that said adjacent needles hold two loops,
drawing the spread loops through the existing loops on said adjacent needles and casting olf the said existing loops, and forming a subsequent course of stitches bn the needles.
