Description

garment S P E C I F I C A T I O N This invention relates to infants such as pajamas and the and more particularly is directed to garments of the type in which the leg portions are integral with the body portion of the garment and have foot covering portions joined to the extremities and also to the method of mass producing such in making garments of the described it has been proposed to form the body sleeves and leg portions of the garment from a single piece of but the crotch and cuff portions of the garment have been cut separately therefrom and then stitched to the remainder of the garment in their respective The above method of making the and the garments that result therefrom are subject to many separate cutting of the covering and cuff and the assembling together of the various separately cut parts of the consuming operations that involve much costly labor and thus result in a loss of econoxsy in the mass production of the when the foo and cuff portions are cut separately from the remainder of the such portions are often made from a run of the fabric which is different from the fabric run cut to provide the in the dye pf the shades thereof which in undesirably noticeable contrasts between the the crotc o aad cuff portions and of the of the gs The attachment of the separately cat cuff to the resaainder of the stitched seams which unravel and also to the the at locations oa the that are to for at the bottom and back of the covering or at the back of the crotch it is object of this invention to provide a method of of the described character which avoids all of the foregoing objections to the previously and to the that result there A particular object of the invention is to a of the of aad r seams at regions of the the to the Another object is to provide a of the described type which the aad crotch portions are all of a n fabric piece aad so arranged thereon as to the seams required to complete further to ensure that of occur locations where they may cause discomfort to the A further object is to provide for of of the described type cat a tube of fabric so as to minimise the cutting operations and to obtain utilisation of such with each of the blanks having to provide the foo and crotch portions he completed In accordance with an this infants has sleeves feet and crotch all constituted by a single fabric wi continuous seaiss extending along the outside of the and body along the underside of sleeves at the opposite sides of the d each of the feet being completed by a lateral joining the to the front of the related leg and an inside seam which extends also the lower part of the and an inverted front opening is provided extending the neck opening of the garment down the of its body and along the opposite sides of the crotch the adjacent of the legs so as to facilitate the conning and of the In order to saske possible the of the at the locations indicated such is forced fross a blank comprising front and forming arranged directed projections extending the opposite sides of the body forming portions to portions ing in the portions a laterally centered neck opening located the front portion having a central cut ing therealong froaa the neck to divide the portion into left and right sections the edges of such sections divergent in the direction from the neck opening at least at parts thereof such opening to a cutout between the divergent edge pa bifurcated back portions extending longitudinally from the back portion and terminating in foo portions extensions portions longitudinally from the sections of the front portion at opposite sides of the a portion the back portion between the back portions and having a projecting part convergent edges free of the beck forming portions and which corresponds substantially to the In order to facilitate cutting of the blanks for producing garments according to this invention and further to effect utilisation of the fabric which such two superposed fabric layers together at the opposite s of the flattened tube and have a approximately equal to the across each blank from one portion to the Such flattened tube has cut both of its fabric at each of regions spaced apart along the two flat having the configuration described above between each of such spaced regions and the opposite sides of the flattened and the and forming portions of blanks cut the spaced two longitudinally folded blanks which are identical flat blanks as folded about the tudiaal lines thereof and which have their in lines arranged along the fold lines of the flattened tube at the opposite sides of the After such cutting of the at and folded blanks from both layers of the each of the folded blanks be to provide an additional flat blank identical the flat blanks cut from the flattened The and other features advantages of this will be a in the following detailed description of an thereof which is to be read in connection with the accompanying 1 is a plan view of a flat blank from which a gar be produced in accordance with this inventions 2 is a ew illustrating the which blanks of the on on 1 may be cut from a flattened of fabric in the of garments according to this

elevational of the garment according to this invention h its front in an opened 7 is an fragmentary sectional view taken along the line on and 8 is an fragmentary perspective view illustrating a portion of the integrally related leg portion in accordance with this Referring to the details and initially to 1 it he seen that a fabric blank preferably of stretch knitted fabric as disclosed in Patent issued to William Artzt for producing an infants in accordance this invention is there and in laterally directed projections the opposite sides of front and back body portions 11 12 and being preferably tapered to define forming portions 13 terminating in cuf portions The portions 11 and 12 are to have laterally centered opening 15 located the front portion 11 is to have central cut 16 extending longitudinally from neck opening 15 to divide front portion 11 into left and right sections 17 The confronting or inner edges of sections 17 and S divergent in the direction away from neck opening 15 at least at the parts 19 thereof remote from opening 15 to define a cutout 20 between such divergent edge parts I the embodiment the confronting or inner edges of sections 17 d 18 also diverge away froa neck opening 15 at the 21 thereof from neck opening 15 to the edge parts 19 remote froa such but the angle between diverging edge parts 21 is smaller than that the edge parts 19 remote frora the neck where the edge parts 21 are as portions 13 of the blank are about lines posed at acute angles with to the line of the blank in the back The to parts bifurcated beck 22 longitudinally hack portion 12 and terminating in portions 23 front portions 24 extending inaliy frora sections 17 and of the front portion 11 at opposite sides of cutout and a portion 25 back portion 12 portions 22 d a projecting part 26 convergent edges 27 free of back portions 22 and corresponds substantially to the cutout In 5 and a blank 10 as described with reference to such blank is folded about the lines of forming portions and the blank w thus has the appearance from the front as on wherein the fold lines are seen to define sloping shoulders By reason of the folding of blank 10 about lines are at acute angles a with respect to the longitudinal line in the back portion 12 of the parts 21 of inner edges of sections 17 and of front portion 11 are brought together at the front of the folded w the edge parts diverge at angle define the cutout 20 The front and back of blank front 11 is substantially superposed and coextensive front por 24 and back portions 22 of the blank are dimensioned so upo folding of the front and back portions are e substantially coe tensive w each other and the forming portions 23 depend from back portions 22 substantially b the ends of front portions as shown on each foo portion 23 is folded upwardly upon itself about a transverse fold line 29 to bring end edge 30 of portion 23 into substantially relation to the end edge 31 of the related front portion as on A lateral seam 32 and preferably of overlooked is to join each edge 30 with the related end edge and a continuous also preferably of overlooked is to join together the adjacent outside edges of folded portion of the front and back portions 24 and 22 and of the front back portions 11 and 12 and also the contiguous lower edges of the portions 13 at each side of the folded inside seam also preferably of ove is forced to join together the inside edges of parts of the ront and back portions 24 and 5 and As shown particularly on each portion 14 is reverted against the adjacent end section of the related portio 13 secured to the latter along its as by stitching As shown particularly on a length of elastic may be extended across the inner surface of back forming portion at the waist and stitched to portion 12 while the latter is shirred or When the projecting part 26 of the c por is folded itself about the lateral fold line 37 so as to occupy the cutout on there is provided an inverted front opening extending from the neck opening 15 down the center of front portion 11 and along opposite of crotch part 26 and the adjacent of the legs to the upper ends of inside seams In accordance with this as shown on a single length of or binding tape which may also be formed of the stretch knitted pile fabric above for the of blank extends along the edges of the inverted front that along the inner edges of sections 17 and 13 of front portion the edges of portions 22 and 24 which are above the inside edges of le portions 22 and 24 are above the inside 34 and the 27 of crotch part Separable fasteners fasteners are secured to along the edges thereof reinforced by tape 38 for joining such edges of the thereby closing the front For as particularly on male 39a be spaced apart along the part of tape 38 along edge part 21 of section 17 for engagement by elements spaced apart the part of tape 38 extending along edge part 21 of section male 40a be spaced apart along the parts of tape 38 extending along edges 27 of crotch part 26 along the adjacent inside edges of back portions 22 for engagement by spaced apart feiaale elements 40b spaced apart the parts of tape 38 extending along edge parts 19 of sections 17 and 18 and along the adjacent inside edges of front portions With the inverted shaped front opening of the garment 10 as the front of the garment be opened as illustrated on to facilitate the donning and removal of the garmen Each garment embodying is ed by a collar 41 suitably stitched around the edge of its neck opening 15 and which is preferably cut from the any differences In shade or tint of the constituting the blank and the collar As is on 1 the free edges 30 and 31 of foo portions 23 front portions 24 are preferably concave so end edge 30 of each portion 23 is joined to end edge 31 of the related portion by the lateral the concavity of the joined 30 and 31 draws the resulting of the garment into a forwardly directed orientation respect to the related portion of as shown particularly on It will be apparent that each portion of the garment is devoid of in the sole or bottom part at the heel and also at the desirably straight or square toe which is ned by the transverse fold line 29 of the portion 23 of the If a or lateral fold be taken in the end edge portion of each foo portion as at 42 when joining edge 30 to edge whereby to shape the foo portion at the top of the The absence of any seams at the sole and heel of portion ensures the utmost comfort to the wearer when upright and also when prone on the It is further to be seen that the entire back of the and particularly the shoulders and crotch are devoid of seams to avoid discomfort Referring to it will be seen in the mass production of the described accordance this the blanks 10 for the production of such are preferably cut a circularly knitted 43 of the stretch pile fabric previously mentioned Such tube 43 is dimensioned so w the same is flattened to provide two superposed fabric layers joined together along fold lines 44 and 45 at the opposite sides of the flattened the width of each laye that the distance between fold lines 44 and will be to the distance across each blank from one portion 14 to the order to facilitate cutting of blanks 10 flattened tube 43 and further to ensure utilization of the fabric in such the flattened tube 43 has cut f om both of its superposed at regions which are spaced apart along the as at flat blanks 10A having the described above reference to the blank 10 of It will be apparent that two flat blanks 10A are obtained by cutting each of the regions by reason of the two superposed layers of fabric ed by the flattened tube The spacing S between regions R is substantially equal the width of the por 13 of blank From spacing that between each two adjacent regions and between the and the and portions of the flat 10A cut from regions R there are also cut longitudinally folded blanks 103 and The folded blanks are each identical with the blank 10 of 1 as folded about the longitudinal medial line and suck folded blanks have their longitudinal lines arranged the fold lines 44 and 45 of the flattened tube 43 at the opposite sides of the latter After longitudinally folded blanks 10B and are cut flattened tube such blanks are unfolded about their longitudinal medial lines to provide additional flat blanks identical the blanks 10A cut flat from the Each fabric tube 43 may desirably have length sufficient to permit the therefrom of sis flat blanks 1GA and six folded blanks 10B and that a total of one dozen blanks as shown on A collars 41A be cut from the same tube 43 as the blanks 10B and to which such collars are to be and particularly from the portions of the flattened tube disposed at the opposite sides of the forming portions of the flat blanks 10A cut the region R at one end of the as It will be apparent that the blanks when cut the flattened tube 43 as described above with reference to effect utilisation of fabric Furthers since each cut blank has a configuration to form such is cut the same fabric tube as the blank 10 which constitutes the of the there is no poss bility that the various parts of any garment will differ in shade or It will also be seen since each blank 10 defines all parts of the completed with the exception of the collar the cut operations are substantially and there is elimination of the laborious and time separate handling of ally cut parts j as in the methods previously employed for producing garments of the described The cutting of 10 to include all parts of the completed with the excep of the collar thereof further very substantially minimises seaming that is required to finish the garments in accordance with this invention can be economically produced with comfort to the weare by reason of the absence of seams at those locations where pressure may be applied and such garments have increased durability by reason of the minimizing of the number of seams at which unraveling can Although an illustrative embodiment of this invention h s been described in detail her with reference to the accompanying drawings it is to be that the invention is not limited to that embodimen and that various changes and modi cations ma be effected by one skilled in the art without departing from the
