[NVENTOR A [Lorne TED STATES PATENT OFFI EOBRIS G. BOSENTHAL, OF MENTOR, OHIO.

'THAL, citizen of. the United States, residing at Mentor, in the county of Lake and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Knitted Fabric, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to lmitted fabrics, and has for its object to provide an improved ribbed fabric of fineappearance and ing 'inade either porous or close knit; The

fabric will have. the desirable elasticity of regular ribbed goods, and being made with a double web can have different colors on face and back as desired.

The fabric comprises two interlocked webs having front and back loops which are interwoven with other yarns to form ribs. The fabric is made by employing both sets of needles, dial and cylinder respectively, the ribs being sufficiently heavy to give body to the goods and the yarns oftheribs being connected by loops which give elastic qualities and the joining of the threads or yarns is not on the face of the fabric, being interwoven with front and back loops formed alternately in the respectiveyarns. Four courses are employed, one of which forms front loops, another back loops, and the remaining two both front and back loops, the two latter forining ribs on'both faces, jhe wales on one face being equal to those on the other, with openings between to give a porous effect.

in the accompanying drawings-li igure 1 is a front face view of the fabric on an enlarged scale. Fig. 2 is a rear face view. Fig. 3 is a plan showing theloops of the various threads, detache Referring specificallyto the drawings the respective threads or yarns of the fabric are indicated at 1, 2, 3 and 4, 1, being the courses forming the back web, .3 the courses forming the front web, and 2 and 4 the courses which interlock with the others, and the loops of which alternate with the loops of the courses 1 and 2. Thus each back yarn 1 forms a series of single loops 1*. These 100 s are comparatively long and connect the ribs on across the spaces intervenin s ecification of e ters t nt. Patented June 18, 1912.

being disposed at the front ofthe fabric, the

connecting pa'rts 2 extending through the fabric, the long loops 2 and 1 being located .111 alternation. The front yarn 3 as a series [of short single-loops 3 which drew under the necks of the loops 2 and float between said loops,'at the front of the abric. It will thus be seen that the webs composed of the courses 1 and 3 are interwoven or interlocked'by the long and short loops respectively of the course 2. The course 4 which is also an interlocking course has long loops 4* at the back which draw over the short loops 2" at the back of the fabric and also has short loops 4 which draw under the loops 3 at the front, extending intermediately through the fabric in the'form of loops4 which interlock-through the loops 1" and 2 of the nextco'urse, and said yarns 1 and 2, last mentioned, are in turn interwoven with each other and with the successive yarns 3 and 4 111 a similar manner. a Y

. The courses 2 and-4, wherethey extend across the fabric in interwoven relation with the courses 1' and 3, form a heavier body at regular intervals, producing the ribs in the fabric, partly in connection with the adjato draw in, or away from the surface at both sides, so that the joints Where the yarns cross are not exposed to wear. In consequence of this the fabric has great durability and afiner finish.

The wales containing the'loops 1 are lo- .cated at the side of the fabric opposite to threadsmay be varied to make the ribs more less dense.

The above describes the produced fabric. With respectto the order and manner of knitting, course 4 is knit on the cylinder and dial needles of a rib knitting machine in one-and-one rib, the stitches being alternately long and short; course 3 is then knit as a plain fabric upon each of the cylinder needles only; course 2 is then knlt upon both cylinders and dial needles as one-andone rib fabric; and course 1 is then knit as a plain fabric uponeach of the dial needles. The result is a succession of one-course welts knit respectively upon the back or dial sides of the fabric and upon the front or cylinder side of the fabric, said welts bein united by a single course of one-and-one r1 fabrlc.

The invention is not limited to the. exact embodiment shown, as the number of courses or stitches, particularly in the welts and the ribs, may be varied, within the scope of the following claims.

I claim:

1. A knitted fabric comprising a succession of one walled welts one set of which is exclusively on one side of the fabric and another set of which is exclusively on the opposite side of the fabric, and rib courses '30 connecting said welts.

2. A knitted fabric comprising a succession of one-walled wel'ts some of which are knit exclusively on one side of the fabric and others of which are knit exclusively on the other side of the fabric, and courses of one-and-one rib uniting said welts.

- 3. A knitted fabric comprising a succession of one-course. welts knit respectively on opposite sides of the fabric, and single 40 courses of one-and-one rib uniting said welts.

4. A knitted fabric comprising a succession of welt courses knit respectively on opposite sides of the fabric, .and courses of one-and-one rib uniting said welts, said rib courses having alternate long and short loops.

5. A knitted fabric comprising a succession of welt courses knit respectively on opsite sides of the fabric, and rib courses connecting said welts, the wales containing the loops of the welt courses on one side of the fabric being in alternation with the wales containing the loops of'the welt courses on the other side.

6. A knitted fabric comprising a succes-' sion of one walled welt courses one set of which has comparatively long loops and is knit exclusively on one side of the fabric and another set of which has shorter loops and is knit exclusively on the, other side ofv the fabric, and one-and-one rib courses uniting said welts, the rib courses having long and short loops corresponding to the long and short loops of the respective welt courses. v

7. A knitted fabric comprising a succession of welt courses knit respectively on opposite sides of the fabric, and rib courses connecting said welts, the wales containing the loops of the welt courses on one side of\ the fabric being in alternation with the wales containing the loops of the welt courses on the other side, and the rib courses having long loops in the wales on one side of the fabric and short loops in the wales on the other side.

8. A ribbed knitted fabric having onewalled welt courses on opposite sides respectively, the courses on each side being exclusively on such sides.

' 9. A ribbed knitted fabric having a succession of one-walled welt'courses in alternation on opposite sides respectively, the

courses on each side being exclusively on such side.

10. A ribbed lmitted fabric having a sucsession of welt courses in alternation on opposite sides respectively, the wales-containing the loops of the welt courses on one side being in alternation with the wales containing the loops on the Welt courses on the other side, of the fabric.

In testimony whereof, I do aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
