Definitions

  • This invention relates to split work hosiery and to the method of making the same.
  • Fig. 1 represents a hose or stocking at 1. It is to be understood that the stocking may be of the usual length for women, or it may be a hose adapted for mens wear. The invention is in no wise restricted to either type of hosiery.
  • the leg portion of the stocking indicated :at '2 is knitted by round and round work upon any suitable type of machine,
  • a Banner machine hav i spring beard or latch needles such, forexample, as a Banner machine hav i spring beard or latch needles.
  • split work is commenced, as preferably the entire stocking, excepting possibly the rib top, is knitted upon the same machine.
  • the machine employed is preferably lone having a main feed and an auxiliary feed, the main feed only being in action during round and round knitting; that is, until the point '3 is reached.
  • the auxiliary feed is thrown into action and the motion is changed from circular to reciprocating, whereb the point or instep portion 4 of the ankle is knitted upon one set of needles and the rear part 5 of the ankle is knitted upon the other set of needles.
  • rovide special butts which are acted upon y a speclal cam, so that in efiect the chosen number of short butt needles at each end of the short butt series act with the long butt needles. While within the scope of our invention, we may thus act specially upon any desired number of the short butt needles at both ends of the short butt series, we preferably cause three of the short butt needles at each end of the short butt series to be so acted upon specially; The results is that the suture seam. 6 is removed three wales from the inner point 7 of the heel at each side of the stocking.
  • the rear portion 5 of the ankle includes not only the 120 heel needles but also six of the short butt needles with the result that the points 7 of the heel are removed by three wales from the suture seams'6.
  • the 114 short butt When the course indicated by the line 8 is reached, the 114 short butt,
  • the heel segments 9 and 10 are knitted in the usual manner by narrowing and widening, and as soon as-the heel is completed, the said 114 short butt needles are restored to action and the knitting of the foot is proceeded with to. make the upper half of the foot 11 and thelower half of the foot 12 by split work.
  • the toe 13 is knitted in customary manner by narrowing and widening, and the stocking is afterward seamed up to make the toe seam 14;.
  • FIG. 2 we have illustrated upon an enlarged scale one character of suture seam that may be employed, but without in any way limitin our invention thereto.
  • the t read wherefrom the instep portion 4 and the top portions 11 of the foot are knitted is indicated at 15, and the thread by which the rear portion 5 of the ankle and the sole 12 of the foot are knitted is indicated at 16.
  • the suture seam 6 is composed of loops and parts of loops of the two threads 15, 16 interknitted as illustrated.
  • a hose or stocking knitted in accordance with our invention is of increased strength at the points of the heel, since the definite separation -of the two suture seams from the points 7 of the heel prevents the breaking that was customary in split work hosiery heretofore made, wherein the rear portion of the ankle and the sole of the foot was made upon the Ion butt or heelneedles only, and all the short utt needles were used for knit ping the front of the ankle and the top of the oot. 5
  • That method of making split work hosiery comprising knitting the leg by round and round or seamless knitting, knitting the front and rear portions of the ankle by reciprocating knitting, using two distinct threads fed at spaced points whereby said front and rear portions are united into a suture seam, and knitting a heel pocket by narrowing and widening, and so apportioning the entire circle of needles to the two threads that the suture seams are thereby spaced one or more wales from the inner corners of the heel pockets.
  • That method of making split work hosiery comprising knitting the leg by round and round or seamless knitting, knitting the front and rear portionsof the ankle by reciprocating knitting, using two distinct threads fed at spaced points whereby said front and rear portions are united into a suture seam,the thread for the rear portion being supplied to the long butt or heel needles and also to a small plurality of short butt needles at each end of the short butt series, and the other thread being supplied to the remaining short the adjacent corner of the heel butt needles, and knitting the heel pocket by narrowing and widening, whereby both suture seams are removed the distance of said small plurality of needles from said suture seam.
  • That method of making split work I hosiery comprising knitting the leg by round and round or seamless knitting, knitting the front and rear portions of the ankle by reciprocating knitting, using two wholly distinct 5 threads fed at spaced points, whereby said front and rear portions are united by two opposite split-work suture seams, knitting a heel pocket by narrowing and widening and connecting the narrowed and widened por- 20 tion by two heel suture seams terminating at small plurality of number of wales from the split-work suture seams, and thereafter knitting the foot and toe.
  • a split seam or sutured stocking comprising a high splice portion, a seamed heel portion, a sole portion, an instep and a body portion, the high splice, heel and sole porac tions being joined to the instep portion by a suture seam, a part of the high splice portion extending one or more wales into the instep away from the heel seam a plurality of courses above the highest course of the heel la portion and a part of the sole portion extending'one or more wales into the instep to the same extent as the said part of the high splice portion for a plurality ot' courses or the foot structure, whereby the terminus of the heel 5t seam is spaced from the split seam suture.
