Description

"Hosiery, especially socks, stockings and tights"

  The invention relates to an article of hosiery with or without connecting gusset such as socks, stockings, tights or other similar articles made from circular knitting machines with needles to perform embroidery well known under the names of plumetis,

  English, Festoon, Madeira, Richelieu, Colbert, etc ...

  Hosiery includes, as everyone knows, two major families of articles according to the mode of formation of

  stitches, gathered knitwear and mail knitwear-

  the jetties. These knitwear articles include

  ticles shoes made from circular lugs needlespermettant achieve the heels and points by a reciprocating movement of a portion of the needles, the number

  of needles in labor being progressively diminished or increased

  mented to form the protuberance in the knit tube at

  the place of the heel and the tip of the sock.

  These trades were recently perfected

  to allow also embroidery operations to be

  of making needle patterns on the knitted backing ornamental patterns made from cotton threads of linen, wool, silk, rayon, any synthetic material, and even

  of metal. Until then, embroidery was carried out mechanically on

  so-called embroiderers, some deriving directly from the sewing machine such as the "cousobrodeur" or the "cornely" which achieves several points which are the point of chaine. There are many types of embroidery and the well-known stitches such as the plumetis, the English, the festoon

  the Madeira, the Richelieu, the Colbert, the Renaissance.

  More recently these embroidery machines have been

  perfected and have become electro-

  whose piloting of the hands is made from a

  computer program, read by computer.

  These sophisticated materials have hitherto made embroidery especially in color on the visible part of 2.

  knitted article, for example on the upper of the shoe.

  sette or sockette. The invention aims to apply this type

  new embroidery for the identification of articles of good

  with or without connecting gussets, so that the sign so embroidered is both indelible, non-degradable and

  especially invisible from the outside during the use of the article.

  Indeed, we had already sought to identify

  knitted articles with the aid of a sign affixed to the

  masked by the shoe, for example under the sole but

  hitherto, the method used was that well known for the

  pressure or transfer, which, as everyone knows, is deteriorating

  washing or wiping out under the action of sweating.

  This process did not give the expected results because if it allowed to individualize the items at the time of sale and hide the mark during use, the result was ephemeral because after a few uses, the mark ended

  to deteriorate and even to disappear.

  The invention therefore relates, as a product

  new industry, a knitwear article which is characterized

  because it is identified at any point in its

  tie masked by the upper of a shoe, preferably on the sole, by a sign made through the knit by an embroidery operation which has the effect of rendering the sign at once, indelible (resistant to washing), non-degradable (by sweat) and invisible since the identification sign,

  which is preferably a trademark, verbal or

  rative, is masked by the shoe.

  The identification sign will preferably be applied to the sole of the knitted article since,

  in any case, there is more reason to fear the risk of

  sweat due to the fact that the braderie thread passes right through the knitting and that the sign is thus

totally indelible.

  According to an advantageous embodiment, the sign is made from a known knitting machine of the electronic type whose hands are controlled by a computer 3.

  subject to a computer program, so that the

  embroidery is carried out simultaneously and on the same

  craft during the knitting of the footwear.

  The invention therefore extends to all hosiery articles and in particular to all footwear, of the socks, stockings or tights type bearing this embroidered identification sign thus making it possible to obtain the identity card of the product to be used. using a mark that disappears under the shank or sole of the shoe during use, which therefore prevents the user from being indisposed by

  the external appearance of the mark of the products that it carries.

  Of course, the invention is not limited to

  trademarks and extends to all fan designs or logos.

  taisieréalisés by this operation pure the part of the footwear item masked by the shoe, whether it is shoes

city or sports.
