Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to arm hosiery, more specifically, arm tights or arm stockings that provide a wearer's arms with the same advantages that legs have long received by the wearing of tights or stockings.
- Arm hosiery can add warmth, modesty, an attractive covering, and shaping to the arms of a wearer.
- the present disclosure describes arm hosiery garments and methods of making these garments. More particularly, the garments as described provide seamless and attractive arm coverings that can be worn as a foundation garment under other garments, for example, tops, dresses, and the like.
- Hosiery has been around for centuries, and generally refers to garments that are worn directly on the legs and feet. More recently however, hosiery has been used to refer to lightweight garments, like tights and pantyhose, that sheath the body from the waist to the toes. Tights and pantyhose are typically worn for one or more of the following reasons: to keep warm, for modesty, to conceal cellulite or other skin appearance issues, to create the appearance of tan skin or otherwise alter skin shade, to prevent skin dryness, to improve circulation and minimize the development of varicose veins, or as a way of accessorizing one's outfit.
- CIFRA SPA More recently warp knitting has been developed by CIFRA SPA out of Italy, which allows a seamless garment to be made at different diameters, thereby allowing the body of a garment and the arms to both be knitted without seams.
- the process developed by CIFRA SPA is used predominately to produce active wear and high end clothing since it is very expensive. While the arm hosiery as described herein could be produced on a machine like that developed by CIFRA SPA, the product would likely be prohibitively expensive, but it could nonetheless be made in that manner.
- the garment as described herein overcomes disadvantages associated with the prior products, by providing a cost-effective, lightweight, disposable, seamless, compressive or non-compressive, garment including arm tights as described herein.
- the present disclosure relates to a garment comprising seamless hosiery sleeves bonded to a bodice that surrounds the torso of the wearer.
- the present disclosure relates to a garment for the arms and torso of the body including a hosiery bodice comprising a front and a back, wherein the front of the bodice is sewn to the back of the bodice, and two non-com pressive seamless hosiery sleeves are connected to the bodice, one on the right side and the other on the left side.
- the present disclosure further relates to a garment for the arms and torso of a body including a first hosiery tube comprising a right sleeve and a right half of a bodice, a second hosiery tube comprising a left sleeve and a left half of a bodice, wherein the right half of the bodice is sewn to the left half of the bodice to create a bodice having a seam down the front and a seam down the back and a pair of hosiery arms.
- the present disclosure still further relates to a garment for the arms and torso of the body including a bodice comprising a seamless tube, and two non-com pressive seamless hosiery sleeves connected to the bodice, one on the right side and the other on the left side.
- the present disclosure also relates to a garment comprising seamless hosiery sleeves sewn to a body via stitching, wherein the seamless sleeves comprise anti-run lines proximate the stitching.
- the disclosure relates to a method of making a foundation garment comprising, forming a first hosiery tube on a hosiery machine having a marked arrangement of cut lines for a left sleeve, forming a second hosiery tube on a hosiery machine having a marked arrangement of cut lines for a right sleeve, forming a third hosiery tube on a hosiery machine having a marked arrangement of cut lines for a bodice front, forming a fourth hosiery tube on a hosiery machine having a marked arrangement of cut lines for a bodice back, cutting the first hosiery tube according to the marked arrangement of cut lines to form a first left sleeve, cutting the second hosiery tube according to the marked arrangement of cut lines to form a first right sleeve, cutting the third hosiery tube according to the marked arrangement of cut lines to form a bodice front, cutting the fourth hosiery tube according to the marked arrangement of cut lines

- hosiery refers to a knitted tube of fabric that has been produced on a hosiery machine.
- hosiery machine refers to a circular knitting machine having a defined tube diameter of 6 inches or less and a needle count of between about 72 and 624.
- theless machine refers to a circular knitting machine having a defined tube diameter of 1 1 inches or more and a needle count of more than 960.
- Compressive body wear i.e., shapewear
- women have used compressive garments to improve the way clothes look on them.
- tights and pantyhose are generally worn to create an attractive appearance or limit one's view of the skin of the legs.
- the garment as described herein provides another opportunity for women to improve their appearance or limit one's view of their arms.
- the garment as described herein in its simplest form, comprises two seamless hosiery sleeves that are attached to a body.
- the sleeves are attached to the body, usually by sewing, but they may be attached by any other art-recognized manner.
- the sleeves may be knitted directly to the body as would be the case if one were using a warp knitting assembly.
- body refers to any garment that can be worn on the torso that can include seamless hosiery sleeves.
- a bodice like a body, refers to any garment that can be worn on the torso but it would generally have some stretch property.
- body and bodice are interchangeable.
- the garment has a pair of three-quarter length seamless sleeves 10, attached to a bodice 20.
- the bodice 20 is a crop top having a bottom band 30 and a crew-style neckline 50.
- the garment has finished sleeves 10 that are finished at the cuff 40 on the hosiery machine.
- the sleeves 10 are raglan sleeves, however, set-in sleeves should work just as well. Raglan sleeves, while more difficult to attach have the advantage of a seamless shoulder which may be important depending upon the clothing that will overlay the garment.
- Seamless sleeves are produced using a hosiery machine.
- the hosiery machine produces a preform tube that can be cut and sewn together with the bodice to form a final product.
- Hosiery machines are circular knitting machines that have a small diameter tube, i.e., less than 6 inches.
- the hosiery machine used in the described method is a single cylinder machine with hold-down sinkers.
- Hold-down sinkers are attached to the preform tube as it leaves the hosiery machine to maintain tension on the preform tube as it exits the machine.
- Hosiery machines for use in the described method will generally have from 4 to 6 feeds and operate at a speed in excess of about 1000 rpm.
- the hosiery as produced herein is produced on a fine gauge machine, e.g., on the order of 40 gauge or above, for example, 72 gauge.
- the hosiery machine is automated and and can be
- the seamless sleeves may be produced, for example, on a 3" to 6" hosiery machine, for example, having a diameter of from about 3 1 ⁇ 2" to about 5", with a needle count of from about 215 to about 450.
- the pattern of run lines and cut lines are programmed into the machine and a left and right arm tubes are produced.
- the left and right arms are produced as a single tube with two finished ends that form the end of each sleeve.
- cut lines and/or run lines have been patterned into the tube indicating where the tube is to be
- the arms subsequently cut to form a left arm preform and a right arm preform.
- the arms Unlike the straight cut lines associated with the production of leg tights, the arms must be cut in a curved manner to form proper arm openings.
- the cuts used to create the left arm are the mirror image of the cuts used to form the right arm.
- the sleeves would be continuous with the body so the transition between the arms and the body could take any form.
- the bodice could be as sheer as the arms, or it could take the shape of a racer back or other configuration that may be reinforced.
- the bodice is also produced from tubes that are formed on a hosiery machine.
- the bodice tubes are produced using the same diameter hosiery machine, or using a larger diameter hosiery machine.
- the bodice is produced from two tube, each of which is slit and laid open to form either the front or the back of the bodice.
- the hosiery machine can be programmed to finish the bottom edge of the bodice tube and to knit cut or run lines in the hosiery tube during production.
- the hosiery tubes exit the knitting machine as performs for the bodice of the final garment. Examples of a hosiery bodice 20 that takes the form of a banded crop top can be seen in the FIGS. 1 -7.
- the preforms are cut to prepare the garment for sewing.
- the sleeves are cut using a hot knife and/or an overlook machine that is devoid of thread.
- the overlook machine is a sewing machine that can connect two or more pieces of fabric using an overlook stitch.
- the machine includes a cutting implement to simultaneously sew and trim the seams.
- run lines refer to areas knitted into the tube using a varied density, yarn, denier, or knitting pattern to provide protection against the fabric running. Such run lines and areas are well understood in the art and the skilled artisan, with knowledge of the desired garment, could provide appropriate run protection using one or more of the techniques described above.
- cut lines are areas that are knitted into the hosiery tube to designate where the tube must be split or cut to produce the desired garment. Cut lines are often severed by a hot knife which can cut and melt the material at the same time, making the cut end of the hosiery tube more stable.
- the run lines and the cut lines may be the same pattern. According to this embodiment, the cut would be made at a position within the run line to realize anti-run protection in the sleeve or bodice component.
- the system can also be automated to provide finishing on the end of the arm.
- the arm finishing can comprise a folded hem, a double layer folded hem, a trim or ruffle, a cuff, a thumb or finger hole, a thumb or finger loop, and the like.
- non-compression refers to a material that clings to the shape of the wearer, but doesn't compress the body.
- support which is a type of compression
- compression refers to simple support, like one would find in control top pantyhose i.e., smooths out minor bumps and bulges.
- compression refers to a material that has sufficient constriction to modify the shape of the body.
- Garments as described herein may have graduated compression or compression zones depending upon the style of the garment. Shapeware are common compression garments and include everything from mild constriction to very firm constriction.
- Fibers for use in the production of the seamless sleeves can include one or more of nylon, polyester, spandex, cotton, wool, rayon, carbon, lures, modal, tencel, or any other art recognized fiber that is used in the production of leg tights or stockings.
- the arms can be knitted to include any type of design that is available in the art.
- Example of designs might include, cable knit, Swiss dot, polka dot, sparkling or metallic effects, stripes, chevrons, fishnet, distressed, floral, argyle and the like.
- the pattern may be applied to the fabric via fabric printing.
- Fibers for use in the production of the bodice can include one or more of nylon, polyester, spandex, cotton, wool, rayon, carbon, lures, modal, tencel, or any other art recognized fiber that is used in the production of garments. According to one
