i .lowing is a full, clear, and exact description.
rlhe object of the invention is to provide new and useful improvements in knit socks, knit stockings and like knit articles of hosiery whereby such articles can be easily .worn and held up in proper position without the use of separate devices such as garters, hose supporters and the like.
In order to accomplish the desired result use is made of two separate elastic bands cate correspondin 'elastic bands C and C fastened at their arranged in thehem or welt at the upper end of the article of hosiery, the ends of the bands being secured to the hem and the ends being spaced apart at the `front and rear of the article.
A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying' drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indi- 'parts in both views. Figure 1 is a si e elevation of a sock pro-u vided with the improvement; and Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional plan view of the same on the line fQ-Q of Fig. l.
' rlhe body of the sock, stocking or similararticle of hosiery consists of the usual foot and heel portion A and the leg B having a contracted closely woven top portion .B terminating in an integral welt or a hem B2. `Within the welt or hem B2 are arranged tvo en s by stitches D or other fastening means to the welt. The bands C and C are arranged in ,the sides of the hem or welt B2 and their fastened ends are spaced aparta-t the front and at the back of the welt.
When the sock or stocking is drawn in position on the wearers leg the welt or hem B2 is expanded and in doing so the elastic bands C and C are placed under tension to firmly hold the sides of the welt or hem,l
in the county vand State of.
blood in the wearers provided .endsto the sock and lagainst the sides of the users leg thereby sustaining the 'sock' or stocking in position on the leg without the use of hose sup# porters, garters or like devices.
By providing the elastic bands C, C only at the sides of the welt the circulation of the leg is not'seriously interfered with as is the caseL with garters or elastic bands now generally used and com` pletely encircling the leg. It is'understood that the tension of the elastic side bands C and C is suiicient to hold up the upper ends of the sock or stocking.
It will be noticed that by having the elastic bands C and C spaced apart at the front no undue pressure is exerted on the tibia of the leg when the improvement is used in a sock.4 bands C and C the rear seam and consequently undue pressure on the seam in an inward terminate ya distance from rcction to avoid undue pressure of the seam on the rear of the wearers leg.
-Having thus described lmy invention, l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
A sock substantially as herein described having within said hem at the opposite sides of the sock elastic strips each of a length l than the semi-circumference of the sock en thel said elastic strips being secured at their being spaced apart at their front and rear ends, the space between the front ends of the strips being sufficient to receive the tibia of a leg in the use of the sock and the s ace between the n,rear ends of the strips being The rear ends of the elastic' do not exert with a hem at its upper edge and sov suiicient to avoid inter-A fering with the circulation of the bloodl at K the back of the wearers leg, all substantially as `and for the purposes set forth. In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
