Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 2, 1921.
Application filed December 10, 1919. Serial No. 343,858.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILL AM J. LONGTIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of lennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stockings, of which the following is a specification.
Stockings consisting of a tubular continuous knitted web, the product of circular knittingihachines, are provided with stout welts stitched or looped to them, and if the knee and leg portions are made of fine yarn or. thread, the stockings are likely to tear, as distinguished from wear, under garter strain at the knees wand more especially where the kneeportions are joined to the welts. Usually the yarn is changed and the tubular knee portion is made of different and stronger yarn than the tubular leg portion, but this shows, and such stockings while comparatively free from tearing under garter strainpresent an'unsightly appearance. In other cases the structure and appearance are the same both at the leg and knee portions, but such stockings frequently tear under garter strain if made of fine yarn.
The principal object of the present invention is to overcome these defects or disadvantages and to provide stockings the product of circular knitting machines, which present the sameappearance at the leg and knee portions and which will not tear at the knees under garter strain, even when made of very light yarn or thread and of very fine gage.-
continuous knitted Web, the product of a circular knitting machine, and fabricated of even fine gage and of very light yarn or thread, which extends to the welt 5, and is joined to it. 2-, is a reinforcemenh'the product of splicing at the frontof the knee portion of the stocking, and this reinforcement while inconspicuous enough not to mar the effect of continuity throughout the leg and knee portions, extends to the \velt 5, and resists the garter strain and prevents tearing. The reinforcement consists of spliced thread or yarn 3, knitted in with the regular thread or yarn 4i, and it is therefore well adapted to resist garter strain which tends to tear, rather than to wear, the knee portions of stockings While at the same time the appearance remains substantially the same as it would be if the reinforcement were not p resout, because the regular yarn or thread l, ertends up to the welt.
The structure of a stocking embodying features of the invention can be well understood from a description of itsmanufacture on circular knitting machines but in giving .such a description it is not intended to limit the invention to stockings embodying it and produced on any particular make or style of circular knitting machine.
The spllcer cam 11, is operated to put all the needles out of cooperation with the splicer b, and I provide an additional camp,
which puts instep needles, which are the.
needles with longer butts or are equipped with jacks having the longer butts, back into cooperation with the splicer b, so that these instep needles knit splicer yarn or thread and regular yarn or thrcadzinto the knee portion for as many courses below the welt,
' as may be desired, whereas the portion of the stocking back of the knee is knitted of the regular yarn or thread.
I claim:
A stocking provided with a welt and consisting of a tubular-continuous knitted web of fine yarn and gage extending through the leg and knee portions, and having at the front of the knee portion a reinforcement of splicing yarn extending in uniform courses with the first mentioned yarn to the welt, to, 'with the Welt, resist garter strain and present a uniform appearance at the knee and leg portions.
