Patented Dec. 6, 1932 UNITED STATES KAY KARAHADIAN, 013 LOS ANGEDES, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR T6 HO LLY'WQOD KNIT- PATENT OFFICE 'IING MILLS, INC., A CORPORATION OF CALIFORNIA KNITTED SWEATER Application filed August 30, 1932. Serial No. 631,007.
This invention has to do with knitted sweaters, and is more particularly related to sweaters of the so-called slip-over or slip-on yp It is a primary object of this invention to produce an improved sweater of the class described which is of novel and attractive appearance, embodying features which facilitate-its manufacture and reduce-the cost of, production.
Another object of this invention is to embody in a sweater of the class described features which add to the comfort with which they may be worn.
It is well known to those familiar with the art that the conventional type of sweater is formed of at least four pieces, namely, front and back pieces forming the body, and a separate piece for each sleeve. In the manufacture of the so-called slip-on or slip-over type of sweater, the body is ordinarily formed of two pieces which are sewed together along the shoulders and the two sides to which are sewed the separate sleeves. In some instances the body portion is formed of a single piece by continuous or circular knitting. In all these forms, however, the material of the body extends over and forms part of the shoulders. It is also known that in knitted fabric, the greatest stretch occurs in a direction which is transverse to the direction of the direction of the back and chest and permits undue stretching across the shoulders in the direction of the arms.
It is, therefore, a still further object 'of this invention to produce a sweater of the class described in which that portion of the body piece below the arms is formed so that the maximum stretch occurs around the body, and in which the shoulders and arms of the sweater are formed in a single piece so constructed that the. maximum stretch over the shoulders occurs downwardly toward the back and chest, thus preventing undue lengthening of the arms as takes place in the conventional sweater where the body piece extends over the shoulders.
The details in the construction of a pre-. ferred form of my invention, together-with other objects attending its production, will be best understood from the following description of the accompanying drawing, which is chosen for illustrative purposes only, and in which- Fig. 1 is a front view, partly broken away, showing a preferred form of my invention;
Fig. 2 is a rear view of the sweater shownin Fig. 1; r
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken through a sleeve in a plane represented by the line 33 in Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken through the body seam in a plane indicated by the line 44 in Fig. 1;
Fig. 5 is a sectional View through the front portion of the sweater in a'plane represented by the line 5-5 in Fig. 1; I
'Fig. 6 is an elevational view, taken in the direction of the arrow 6 in Fig. 5; f
Fig. 7 is a front view showing another form of my invention; and
. More particularly describing the invention as herein illustrated, with especial reference .to Figs. 1 to 6 inclusive, reference numeral 11 indicates the body portion ofthe sweater which is preferably formed of front and back pieces sewed together along two edges at the sides of the sweater, as indicated at 12.
In this form of my invention, the upper edge of the body. portion 11 is out along a substantially elliptical curve 13, and is secured to, what I mayterm, a shoulde'rand sleeve piece 14. The shoulder and sleeve piece is composed of asingle piece of material, which is folded over and sewed along the under sides of the two arms, as indicated at in Fig. 3.
As was pointed out in the early portion of the specification, the body portion is formed with its ribs, or line of loop stitches, running longitudinally therein, as indicated by the line shading. This arrangement permits the body, stretching cross-wise, but, as is well known to those familiar with knitted fabric of this type, it does not permit of but limited lengthwise 'stretching. The shoulder and arm piece, on the other hand, is formed so that the ribs, or line of loop stitches, run at substantially right angles to the ribs in the body piece as indicated by the line shading. This, as was pointed out above, permits a maximum stretch .over the shoulders, which takes place downwardly toward the back and chest. It also permits the necessary stretching around each arm, but holds the lengthwise stretching in the arms to a minimum.
It will be apparent that in this construction, the sweater conforms readily to the body and the shoulders and does not stretch into regions where stretching is not desirable nor does it lose its shape or outlines.
In the form of my invention shown in Figs.
1 and 2, the shoulder and arm piece is provided with an elliptical head opening, indicated at 17,. This opening is preferably cut in the shoulder and arm piece after it has been formed, and the edge thereof is hemmed,
as indicated at 18 in Fig. 5. Reference nuangular shaped head opening 20. which provides what is known as the V-neck.
Fig. 8 shows still another form of myinvention, in which parts similar to those shown in Fig. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals distinguished by the letter B. In this form of my invention, I show theopening 21 in the shoulder and arm piece as being provided with a so-called turtle neck' collar, indicated by reference numeral 22.
As will appear from the drawing the sweater contemplated bymy invention is not only one which can be comfortably worn in that it permits free movement of the arms and shoulders without the binding which takes place in ordinary sweaters, but it is of.
novel and attractive appearance and lends itself to many different designs of color and pattern which cannot be obtained in the conventional type of sweater.
It is tobe understood that, while I have herein described and illustrated certain pre ferred forms of my invention, the invention is not limited tothe precise forms described above but includes within its scope whatever changes fairly come within the spirit of the appended claim. I claim as my invention:
A knitted sweater comprising a body member, and a one piece neck, shoulders and sleeve member having a neck opening lying entirely within the neck portion thereof, the
body member having ribs extending longi tending longitudinally, the front and back bottom edges of the neck and shoulders port ion conformed and connected to the upwardly converging top edges of the front and back of the body member, the ribs of the sleeves portion progressing regularly in length from the arm pits upwardly and extending the full length of the neck. shoulders and sleeve member above the front and back of the body member, and the arm holes of the garment lying entirely within the arms and shoulders portions.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at Los Angeles, California, this 24th day of August, 1932.
