HOSIERY DRYING FORM Filed April 22. 1930 Hark E X 5125221205151;
Qwuantoz Patented May 17, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT orricl" HARRY E. KA'I'ZENMOYER, OF ROSEDALE, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR 'IO FISHER HOSIERY CO. INC., OF READING, PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORATION OF PENNSYL- VANIA.
HOSIERY DRYING- FORM Application filed April 22, 1930. Serial No. 446,246.
This invention relates to improvements in hosiery drying and shaping forms, and more especially to novel means combined with such a form to keep a stocking on the form from wrinkling, spotting or being ruptured while it is being dried.
Heretofore, the upper leg portion of such forms have been provided with friction surfaces to hold a stocking taut on the form, but as the wrinkling usually occurs at the ankle portion of the stocking, such wrinkling takes place even though the friction surfaces have some tendency to hold the stocking stretched. Furthermore, the materials forming such friction surfaces, have, in the past, caused damage to the stockings, and they also become inoperative when they are wetted sufficiently by the moisture from the hose.
It has also been proposed to place a band around the upper portion of the stocking while the latter is on the form for holding the stocking taut, but such bands have a tendency to discolor the hose, and of course this is objectionable.
I have discovered that if friction surfaces are used with the form, they are much more efiective if arranged at the ankle portion of the form, for it is at this location that the wrinkling occurs, while the main leg portion of the stocking will be held taut, due to the increased width of the form in the direction away from the ankle portion therof.
Furthermore, I have experimented with various materials for use as friction surfaces, and have also discovered that if such surfaces are made of unborn animal skin, such as unborn calf skin, with the hair side outermost, that such material is not affected by moisture, and that the nap has sufficient rigidity to interlock with the material of the hose, and yet, has suflicient flexibility to prevent any rupturing of the thin threads of gauzy hose, when the latter are placed on, or removed from the form.
Therefore, one of the salient objects of the present invention is to provide a hosiery form with friction surfaces located at the ankle portion of the form, and made of suitable drying operation, without liability of rupturing the threads of hose, even though these threads be extremely thin and of the type used in the sheerest stockings.
With the foregoing objects outlined and with other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel features hereinafter described in detail, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and more particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
Referring to the drawings,
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of my improved hosiery form.
Fig. 2 is an edge view of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
The form 4 to which my improvements are applied, is of the conventional type, and is usually made of metal. Such forms are passed through a drying oven, with stockings stretched thereon, while the hose are in a wet condition.
As before stated, a stocking, in drying on such a form, does not keep its position, and a number of objectionable proposals have been made to eliminate the difficulty.
To overcome such difficulty, I secure to opposite sides of the ankle portion 5 of the form, patches 6 of suitable material, as I have found that the greatest displacement of the stocking takes place at this location, and for the purposes of the present invention, these patches are formed of unborn animal skin, such as unborn calf skin, and the hair side of such skin faces outwardly. Such patches 6, as shown, conform substantially in shape with the ankle portion 5, but are of less width than the form, leaving the edges of the on the latter free for creasing the flattened stock-.
ing as heretofore. When a wet stocking is stretched on a form provided with patches of this material located at the ankle portion of the form, the stocking will be held taut and prevented from wrinkling while it is being dried in the usual oven.
From the foregoing it is believed that the construction and advantages of theinvention may be readily understood, and that certain changes may be made in the details disclosed, Without departing from the spirit 7 of'the invention, as expressed in the claim.
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A hosiery form provided at opposite sides of its ankle portion with patches of unborn calf skin with the hair thereon, and the hair side facing outwardly.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
HARRY E. KATZENMOYER.
