KN ITTED WEB.

T0 all 'whom z't may concern.'

Be it known that I, ROBERT W. SCOTT, a citizen of, the-United States, residing in Leeds Point, Atlantic county, New Jersey, have invented certain Improvements in Knitted Webs, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a certain improvement in the combined ribbed and plain knitted web for which I filed application for Letters Patent of the United States on the twenty-sixth day of May, 1909, Serial No. 498,422, the object of my present invention being to still further facilitate the transfer of the stitches of the ribbed web onto the needles of the machine upon which the plain web is produced. This object I attain in the manner hereinafter set forth, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, which represents an exaggerated yiew of a portion of the composite web at the point where the ribbed web joins the plain web.

The ribbed web -is knitted in accordance with my Letters Patent No. 899,439, dated September 22, 1908, and consists of two independent but interlocked ribbed webs, the wales of one web occupying the spaces between the wales of the other web and the sinker Wales crossing each other. In such a web the wales of the two members of the web are in line with one another but the courses are not, and consequently the terminal stitches of one member of said duplex interlocked ribbed web project to a greater extent than the terminal stitches of the other member, hence these terminal stitches cannot be applied to the needles of the plain web machine as readily as though the terminal stitches of both members of the ribbed web were in line with one another. In order to overcome this objection, I lengthen the terminal stitches of one member of the ribbed web sufiiciently to bring them intov d line with the terminal stitches 'of the iother member. of said web, consequently they can be applied to the needles with the same facility as a single stitch, the receiving needles` entering the outer or fully expanded portions of the terminal stitches instead of being compelled to enter the stitches of one of,v

the members of the web at the contracted or base portions of the same as in the'web coilstituting the subject of my previous application before referred to.

In the drawing, the wales of one member of the duplex interlocked ribbed web are shown by unshaded lines and the wales of the other member of said web are shown by shaded lines, a and b representing the terminal stitches of the wales of the two members of the ribbed web, the elongated stitches the reverse vmay be the case, if desired. The stitches c 'are those of the first course .of the plain web which is knitted upon the needles of the machine to which the stitches a and b 0f the ribbed web have been applied.

I claim y A knitted web having interlocked rib members with overlying wales, the courses of the wales of one member also overlapping the courses of the wales of the other member, and the terminal stitches of the' wales of. one4 vmember being elongated as compared with the terminal stitches of the corresponding wales of the other member,

whereby the terminal stitches of the overlying wales of both members are brought into substantial registry.

` In testimony -whereo'f,.I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
