Definitions

  • the present invention relates to varicose stockings of the type knit to grip or hug the leg, which, as is generally known, are made with an opening for the heel in order that the upper part of the stocking may not be for the reason that the stitches constitute weak points in the stocking but also, and above all, because the aforesaid edges l have a tendency to fold back and form ridges during walking, which is extremely uncom-V ortable and sometimes painful.
  • the heelopening is produced on the knitting machine itself, without whip-stitching, and it is surrounded by a zone or region in which the fabric is doubled, thereby reinforcing the edges of the opening and preventing the formation of ridges. Moreover, this doubled zone or region is restricted to the rear half of the stocking, so that the front part of the latter 'is not given a ⁇ peculiar appearance..
  • Figure 1 is a side view, partly ⁇ broken away, of a varicose stocking in use
  • Fig. 2 is a view of the rear face ing'according to the invention and provided with a heel strap;
  • Fig. 3 is a fragmental section on line tgv-3, Fig. 2, showing the'connection between the two elementary fabrics;
  • Fig. 11 is a plan view of the rear face, the knitting being supposedly cut at-C-G and D-D to permit the fabric to be flattened out.
  • this opening having been made, up to the present, by hand and after the stocking has been knit. It may, for instance, be formed by dropping two loops to determine he ends of the opening, unraveling the part between the two holes thus produced, and then whip-stitching the two edges of the opening. These edges, however, tend to roll up and form ridges under the foot which are apt to hurt the wearer, as it has been stated.
  • the vstocking'of the present invention is produced with a slit or opening 5 (Fig. 2) which is produced directly by the knitting itself and, hence, vwithout whip-stitching or similar binding. Moreover, it is reinforced around this slit by means of a second fabric 6 which lines the first one on the rear half of the stocking for a ⁇ distance of a few centi* meters above and below the said slit.
  • the reinforcement or lining 6 is restricted to the rear part of the stocking and does not show at the front of the leg, so that it is hardly visible at all; moreover, it avoids the formation of ridges7 thus overcoming a substantial defect. Also, it prolongs the life of the stocking and preserves all its flexibility in the region of the heel.
  • Knitting proceeds in the direction of the arrow on an ordinary knitting machine until the two On reaching a certain point-for instance,
  • Figs. 2 and 4 show a series of lines 13 which represent rows of loops common to the two main or elemental fabrics 6 and 8 that constitute the rear face (Fig. These connections insure a satisfactory attachment of the two fabrics and avoid slipping and folding; and, at the same time ⁇ the stocking thus formed tends to adopt the shape of the heel itself which gives it an artistic appearance.
  • the stocking is finished by connecting the edges of the front face with those of the double rear face 6 8, which can readily be done either by hand or by an operation well known in the manufacture of ordinary ribbed stockings.
  • a knitted varicose stocking provided with a heel opening which is formed in the course of the knitting operation; and a strap connecting the two edges of the opening and adapted to extend around the heel.
  • a knitted varicose stocking embodying a two-ply heel portion provided with a heel opening which is formed in the course of the knitting operation, the two plies of such portion being fastened together by rows of connected loops; and a strap connecting the two edges of the opening and adapted to extend around the heel.
