SWEATER.
Application filed July 18,
My invention relates to an improvement'in sweaters and more particularly to that type of sweater generally known as a sport sweater.
In the manufacture of sweaters of the type to which my invention appertains, it is customary to knit the body of the sweater in tubular form with a shaker or single stitch. The body is slit to form the front opening and for the arm-holes and pocket openings. rIhe arms and pockets .of the sweater are knitted separately and attached by sewing.
The frontedges of the sweater are finished by sewing to the edges separately knit strips which terminate at their upper ends in lapels, the strips being knit with a shaker or single stitch and being tw0-ply or double. The sweater is provided with a collar made twoply or double of a shaker or single stitch and secured to the body on a line behind the neck and to the ends of the lapels.
Sweaters of the character of construction described are substantially satisfactory and of great durability except that the body tends to pull away from the collar on the line upon which they are joined, behind the neck and between the shoulders and that excessive lateral stretch occurs adjacent this line of junction, resulting in deformation of the garment and excessive lengthening of the sleeves.
As the result of careful study, with a view to ascertaining the causes of this condition and with a view to its remedy, I have found that the principal reason for the pulling away of the body from the collar and the excessive lateral stretch on the line of juncture of the body and collar between the shoulders is due to the differential elasticity existing between the single stitch knitted body and twoply single stitch knitted collar, the two being joined on a line under substantial tension in the movements of the body of the wearer, and necessarily with two stitches of the collar, one from each ply, to one stitch of the body.
Now it is the obj ect of my present invention to provide a sweater of the general structural character described, but so specilically constructed as to eliminate the pulling of the body away from the collar and excessive stretch between the shoulders, while at the same time retaining all the advantageous features of the former structure. f
Having now indicated, in a general way, the nature and purpose of my invention, I will proceed to a detailed description thereof,
1925. Serial N0. 44,421.
with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which there is illustrated a preferred embodiment, and in which- Fig. l is. a front View of a sweater thrown open to disclose the application of my invention. Y

Fig. 5 is a rear view of the subject of Fig. 4.-.
Referring more particularly to Figs; b3: a indicates the body of a sweater which is knitted tubular, preferably with a single or shaker stitch, and slit down the front to provide an opening. "Io the edges of the opening are secured strips b of two-'ply fabric knitted preferably with a single or shaker stitch and terminating at their upper ends in widened-out portions forming lapels b. The body is provided with suitable arm-holes to which are secured separately knitted arms d.
The body of the sweater is provided with a collar e, which is formed of two thicknesses or plys of single or shaker stitch secured by sewing along its base to the body, one stitch from each layer or ply being secured to one stitch of the body. The upper edges of the lapels b are secured to the sides of the collar.
Over the seams formed at the juncture of the base of the collar and body is placed a substantially nonselastic strip f, which bridges the line of juncture and the ends of which extend beyond the ends of the base of the collar. The strip f is secured, by sewing g, adjacent its edges, to the collar and to the body respectively, and adjacent its ends it is secured to the body by means of sewing 71,.
The median portion of the strip f is left free to form a hanger c', by which the sweater may be hung up.
By virtue of the provision of strip f secured adjacent its ends to the body and along its edges to the two-ply collar and the single ply body respectively, the differential elasticity of the two-ply collar and the single ply body are neutralized and without in any way interfering with the respective elasticity of the collar and body, the body is prevented from pulling away from the collar and from excessively stretching along the line of juncture of the collar and body, with the result that the durability and life of the sweater are greatly increased and its shape and fit are retained.
Referring more particularly to Figsd and 5: the strip f is made of a length to reach between the arm-holes .7' and is secured at its ends by means of stitching la to the body a adjacent the part of the shoulder portions at top of the arm-holes. From its ends the strip extends beneath the shoulder portions of the body and is left free, as at Z. Stitclr ing 7L secures the strip to the body adjacent the ends of the base of the collar, and stitching g adjacent the edges of the portion of the strip overlying the juncture of the collar and body serves to secure the strip along its edges to the collarI and body respectively, its median portion being left free to serve as a hanger z'. The ends of the portion of the strip forming the hanger are secured to the body and collar by means of stitching m.
The strip f acts essentially as does the strip except that the extended end portions Z of the strip secured to the body by stitching h and /s serve to prevent stretching of the shoulder portions of the sweater.
Having noiv fully described my invention, what Iv claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
l. A sweater comprising a knitted body portion including shoulder portions the outer ends of Which terminate at arinholes formed in the body portion, a collar secured to the rear of thebody portion between the shoulder portions, and an inelastic strip secured f to both the collar and the body portion along their line of junction and extending along the shoulder portions to points adj aceut the armholes and being secured to the shoulder portions at Isaid points, but being free from the shoulder portions between said points and the collar.
2. A sweater comprising a knitted body portion including shoulder portions the outer ends of which terminate at armholes formed in the body portion, a collar secured to the rear of the body portion between the shoulder port-ions, and an inelastic strip secured to both the collar and the body portion along their line of junction, said the ends of the line of junction of the collar and body and being secured adjacent its ends respectively to the body. i
In testimony of which invention, I have hereunto set my hand, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,on this 14th day of July7 1925.
