- same.
It-has been proposed to manufacture a double stocking, that is, to arrange one' stocking within another and to secure them together by seaming or stitching.
The principalobject of providing such a stocking is to enable'silken hosiery being worn in cold weather without discomfort and to allow of the use'of silken hosiery by persons who cannot wear slk next to the oot, and further to provide such a stocking of very'neat and attractive appearance,
which will have extraordinary wearing qualities.
The rincipal features of the invention consist in the novel manner of joining the two elements of the composite stocking together so that there will be no heavy, un-
ainly or cumbersome seams and particuarly that the circumferential flexibility of the stocking will not be impaired or unduly rmtricted.
In manufacturing stockings according to the present method, a circular knitting machine is used and a dial is arran d at the to of the cylinder rovided WIth a plu ra ity of re ial i e-wa s in which are arran d radial tende into the path of movement of the needles'and to be withdrawn therefrom in rovide means. for attaching the two stockings together.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of the head of a circular knitting machine showing the device for holdingcertain stitches as required in the present method.
Fi re 2 is an enlar d detail view showing t e method of ho ing the stitch loops out of action during the required period.
Figure 3 is a per ective detall of a or- 7 tion of a stocking s owing the free is ric strip by means of which the inner stocking is secured at the top tothe outer stockiiig, the strip being shown cut and partly turned up.
meet.
v ends 5.
and when the knitting ngers a apted to be exfin the outer portion by means of the Figure 4 is a perspective detail of a por-' tion of alooping machine showing the manner of loop stitching the top of the inner stocking to the freestrip of the outer stockiigurcfi is an enlarged detail showing the inner stocking attached to the outer one. The present method is carried into effect on a standard circular knitting machine and the commencement of the stocking is the same as the commencement of any ordinary stocking.
After a few rows have been knitted, sayfifteen or twenty, the radial fingers 1 carried on thedisc 2 are moved outwardly by means of the operating cam 3. The alternating needles of the knitting machine pass upwardly between the, pairs of fingers 1 w ich are peculiarly formed with outwardly bowed ends 4 formed with hooks 5 at the exwhich hooks are bent inwardly and tremity,
The alternating needles pass upwardly through the o enings formed between the bowed ends 0 each pair of fingers and the thread is drawn over the hooked Y thereon.
The knitting operation then proceeds, leaving these loops strung upon the hooks as shown in Fig. 2 and the to welt of the stocking is forme bein turned in the usual manner at the desire length form the inner lpart of the pocket welt to the depth of t e' outer part, the radial rs 1 are again extended and the alternatmg knltting needles risin between the bowed ends of the fingers picg off the loops 7 and knitthem into the fabric. portion of the pocket welt is thus joined to loops 7 and a strip 8 formed by thefirst few rows of stitches is left on the bottom edge of the pocket welt 6. a I
The knitting then continues in the usual manner to form the outer 1e and foot, prefegably of a silken fabric low a cotton r a An inner. stocking of 1 cotton fabric is knitted separately and the two stockings are put together by drawing one over theother on a suitable form. They are then seamed together longitudinally at the back and foot, having the stitches 9 passing through both has progressed to i The fingers 1 are then retracted by the operation of the cam and the hooked 6 or pocket The inner inner and outer stockings and firmly securin them throu hout their length.
he upper e e of the inner stocking is then cast on to tie points 10 of the looping machine along with the stitches of the strip 8 formed by the first few knitted rows of stitches, which is left free below the loops 7. These cast-on stitches are then 'oined by the regular loop stitches 11 whic is a flexible stitch and which joins the edges of the strip 8 and the inner stocking without forming a double thickness or a seam. The to of the stocking is therefore formed wlthout any circumferentially restrictin element and it will stretch uniformly an will consequently be very comfortable to the wearer.
What I claim as my invention is 1. A method of making hosiery consisting in knitting an outer stocking with a pocket welt at the top and a fabric strip extending from the bottom of the vpocket welt, and securing an inner stocking to the outer stocking and connecting the up er edge of said inner stocking to the free edge of said strip.
2. A method of making hosiery, consisting in first knitting a length of fabric, then forming a pocket welt, leaving the first knitted length of fabric free, then completing the knitting to form an outer stocking, then knitting an inner stocking, then securing the inner stocking to the outer stocking and then joining the top of the inner stocking to the free edge of the first knitted len h of fabric.
3. A method of making hosiery, consist ing in first knitting a length of fabric, then forming a pocket welt leaving the first knitted strip of fabric free on the inward side,
then completing the knitting to form an outer stocking, then knitting an inner stocking, then drawing the inner stocking over the reversed outer stocking, then joining the inner and outer stockings up the back with a longitudinal seam, then joining the up )er edge of the inner stocking to the free e go of the first knitted fabric strip.
4. A method of making hosiery, consisting in first knitting a length of fabric, then forming a ocket welt leaving the first knitted strip oi fabric free on the inward side, then com lcting the knitting to form an outer stoc ring, then knitting an inner stocking, then drawing the inner stocking over the reversed outer stocking, then securing the inner and outer stockings together, then casting a row of stitches of the free strip on to a looping machine together with a row of stitches of the upper end of the inner stocking, then loop stitching said stitches together.
5. A stocking, comprising, an outer stocking formed with a pocket welt at the top and having an integrally knittin strip of fabric at the bottom of the welt, an an inner stocking secured within the outer stocking and having its upper edge connected to the kniltted strip extending below the pocket we t.
6. A stocking comprising, an outer stocking formed with a pocket welt at the top and having an integrally knitted strip of fabric at the bottom of the welt, and an inner stocking secured within the outer stocking and having its upper edge loop stitched to the bottomedge of the knitted strip extending below the pocket welt in a connection equally elastic to the knitted fabric.
