NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO HEMPHILL COMPANY, OF CENTRAL FALLS, R-HODE ISLAND. A CORPORATION OF MASSA- CHUSETTS SEAMLESS STOCKING AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME Application filed July 27,
This invention relates to seamless stockings and to the method of making the same.
In order that the principle of the invention may be readily understood, I have disclosed a single embodiment thereof in the accompanying drawings, wherein-.-
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a stocking made in accordance with my invention;
Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of a portion of the stocking before the same is entirely completed and indicatin where the stockin is cut in accordance wit my invention; an
Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the stocking in completed condition.
The stocking of my invention is preferably a seamless one and therefore is preferably made upon'a circular or so-called seamless knitting machine, as, for example, upon the Banner machine. The stocklng may, however, be made upon any suitable or desired type of machine, and certain embodiments thereof might be made upon a full fashionedmachine. I have, however, in
the drawings represented a stocking of the seamless type having an upper or welt portion 1, the-leg or boot portion 2, the ankle portion 3, all made as a seamless tube, the heel 4 made by a narrowing and widening process, the foot 5, and the toe 6 also made by a narrowing and widening process and seamed preferably along the km 7 in usual manner.
The purpose of my invention is to provide a high splice or like contrasting area having a tapered effect and in accordance with my invention this elfect is preferably produced by cutting out a small portion of the stocking for a short distance along the median line at the back, and preferably I do this in a stocking havinglvertical stripes at the back at or near the igh splice area and desirably made by introducing an'extra thread for desired wales and floating the same across certain wales so as to produce such effect.
In the disclosed embodiment of the invention (and to which embodiment my invention is not restricted) it may be assumed for purposes of description that the leg, ankle and foot 3, 4, 5, are made of a light 1927. Serial No. 208,767.
colored yarn or thread, such as silk, rayon,
tively controlled that .the additional yarn or thread is introduced at certain wales only and is floated across intermediate wales so as to give a characteristic vertically striped efi'ect, as shown in the several figures. Desirably the stripes are of successively shorter lengths so as to give a generally tapered or stepped effect, as clearly shown. All of said stripes are parallel, as the fabric is actually knitted, since the stripes are u on certain wales and do not, during their or-, mation, spread or extend across or onto other wales. In order, therefore, to give the pointed or culminating effect of Figs. 1 and 3 at 9, I cut out a small portion of the stocking along the back median line, as indicated at 10 in Fig. 2, the cut out piece being referably'of a general pointed, elliptical t drm, and then seam up or otherwise suitably unite the resulting edges of the same, as indicated at 11 in Fig. 3. The said seam may and desirably does extend the entire length of the leg of the stocking, as indicated at 12, thus giving the characteristic mock seam efi'ect. Such seam is desirably therefore a sewed seam.
The length of the cut-out portion may, of course, be varied according to the number of vertical stripes which it is desired to bring to a point, 1t being understood that within the scope of my invention the contrasting or high splice area may appear as solid or non-striped, in which case the same is given a tapered or pointed effect in accordanoe with my invention.
If desired and as shown in each of the figures of the drawings, the additional thread may also be introduced during the formation of the foot as indicated at 13, so as to give spaced longitudinal stripes in the foot. It is not necessary that the stripes in the foot be of the same width as the stripes in the leg portion, nor is it necessary that the stripes in the leg portion be all of the same width.
Having'thus described one embodiment of the article of my invention and the best mode known to me for practising the method thereof, I desire it to be understood that although specific terms are employed, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense, and not for purposes of limitation the scope of the invention being set forth in the following claims.
Claims:
1. A stocking having at the rear thereof at a part to be ornamented by special shape of a contrasting area an additional thread knitted in to give a contrasting area, a por tion of the stocking being cut out along said contrasting area, the edges of the cut-out portion being secured, thereby producing a tapering effect in said contrasting area.
2. ,A seamless stocking having an additional thread knitted in at the rear thereof to produce a contrasting area, at a part to be ornamented by special shape of said contrasting area, a portion of the stocking within the confines of said areabeing cut out :2 and the edges of the cut portion secured together to produce a tapering effect in said contrasting area.
3IA seamless stocking having an additional thread knitted in at-the high splice area to produce a contrasting effect, a portion of said stocking being removed and the edges at the removed portion being seamed together, thereby causing the lateral edges of the contrasting area to converge.
4. A seamless stocking having at the high splice area an additional thread knitted in to produce vertical stripes, a portion of the stocking along the rear median line at said stripes being cut away, and the cut edges seamed together to cause the adjacent stripes to converge.
5. That method of making a stocking in- I eluding knitting in an additional thread at the rear thereof to produce a contrasting the stocking at said contrasting area so as to produce the desired design effect at the remaining, adjacent portions of said conting out a relatively short and narrow portion at said contrasting area so as to produce a tapering effect in and by the remaining, adjacent portions of said contrasting area, and then uniting the resulting edges to produce such tapering effect in said contrasting area.
7. That method of making a seamless stocking including introducing an addition al thread at certain wales in the high splice region and floating the yarn at intervening wales so as to produce a vertically striped effect, then cutting out a relatively short narrow piece of the stocking along the back median line at said high splice area so as to produce a pointed effect in and by the remaining, adjacent portions of the high splice area and finally seaming the resulting edges at said out out portion, thereby to bring certain of said stripes into a pointed relation.
8. A circular knit stocking having at the rear thereof a contrasting area provided by an additional thread knitted thereinto and along such wales as to give a general upwardly tapering effect to the reinforcement, a portion of the stocking being cut out along the rear median line substantially at the top of the contrasting area, the edges of the cut out portion being secured together so as to increase the tapering effect of the said con- .trasting area.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification.
