Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/513,815, filed Oct. 23, 2003 the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to seamless knit garments. More particularly, the present invention relates to knit garments having one or more of a first knit construction seamlessly integrated with one or more of a second knit construction.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Seamless knit garments can be knit on flat and/or circular knitting machines. Such machines are commercially available from, for example, the Monarch Knitting Machinery Corporation of Glendale, N.Y., Santoni S.p.A. of Brescia, Italy, Shima Seiki Manufacturing Limited of Wakayama, Japan, and others.
- Some knitting machines can knit only a first knit construction such as, but not limited to, a plain double knit stitch or a plain single jersey knit stitch. Other knitting machines can produce a second knit construction such as, a spacer knit stitch, a rib knit stitch, a pointelle knit stitch, a mesh knit stitch, a sheer knit stitch, a quilted knit stitch, and others.
- In order to provide garments having more than one portion with the first knit construction and/or to combine the first and second knit constructions, two or more knitted fabrics have been required. Here, the desired fabrics have been joined by way of a seam (e.g., sewing, welding, and gluing).
- In many garments, seams and discontinuities can be physically and/or aesthetically unpleasing. For example, seams in many outerwear garments and sportswear garments can chaff, exert pressure points and, thus, can be a source of physical discomfort. In addition, seams in intimate apparel garments (e.g., a brassiere, a panty, a camisole, and others) can often be visible through outer clothing, which can be aesthetically unpleasing.
- Accordingly, there is a need for garments having the first and second knit constructions seamlessly integrated therein.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide seamless knit garments.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide garments having a first portion knitted with a first knit construction seamlessly knit to a second portion knitted with a second knit construction.
- It is still another object of the present invention to provide garments having a combination of double and single jersey knit structures seamlessly knit to other knit structures such as, but not limited to, three-dimensional knit structures, sheer knit structures, decorative single jersey knit structures, or any combinations thereof.
- It is also an object of the present invention to provide knit garments having a plurality of portions each with a different type of a first knit construction and/or second knit construction, where the plurality of portions are seamlessly knit to one another.
- It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a knit garment having a patterned effect provided by the seamless integration of portions having different knit constructions.
- The above-described and other features and advantages of the present invention will be appreciated and understood by those skilled in the art from the following detailed description and drawings.

FIG. 25 is a front view of an exemplary embodiment of a pair of pants according to the present invention; and -
FIG. 26 is a rear view of the pants ofFIG. 25 . - Referring now to the figures and in particular to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , a garment according to the present invention is generally represented byreference numeral 10.Garment 10 is a camisole having aknit body 12, a pair ofshoulder straps 14, preferably at an upper edge ofbody 12, and/or awelt 16, preferably along a lower edge of the body. In a preferred embodiment,straps 14 are joined tobody 12 by aseam 18. Similarly,welt 16 can be joined tobody 12 byseam 18.Seam 18 can be formed by sewing, welding, gluing, or any combinations thereof. Alternately,straps 14 and/orwelt 16 can be integrally knit as part ofbody 12. Accordingly,garment 10 can include one or more garment elements (e.g.,straps 14,welt 16, and the like) integrally knit tobody 12 and/or joined to the body byseam 18. -
Body 12 can have a generally tubular shape defined by one or morefirst portions 20 and one or moresecond portions 22.Body 12 is knitted using a knitting process so first andsecond portions body 12 is free of seams joining first andsecond portions body 12 can be knitted using a circular or weft knitting process, a flat knitting process, and others. -
First portion 20 is knit with a first knit construction, whilesecond portion 22 is knit with a second knit construction. As used herein, the phrase “first knit construction” shall mean knits that have one stitch formed on each needle all of the time so that an intermeshing of stitches are formed in the same direction on the technical face of the fabric and a series of loops are formed on the technical back of the fabric. For example, the first knit construction includes any one of the following knits a plain double knit, a plain single jersey knit, or any combinations thereof. The phrase “second knit construction” shall mean knits that use any combination of a plain knitted loop, a held loop with no stitch, and a tuck loop. The second knit construction can have any of these loops transferred from one set of needles to another set of needles and can have any of these loops knit stitched, tuck stitched, and miss stitched individually on each set of needles. For example, the second knit construction includes any one of the following knits a spacer knit, a rib knit, a pointelle knit, a mesh knit, a sheer knit, a quilted knit, an eyelet or open knit, or any combinations thereof. - In the illustrated embodiment of
FIG. 1 ,first portion 20 has a plainsingle jersey knit 24 andsecond portion 22 has asheer knit 26, which provides a transparent or opaque aesthetic quality or look to the second portion. For example,sheer knit 26 can be knitted by two sets of needles, where one set of needles knits a foreground layer, while the second set of needles knits a background layer. The foreground layer can include a lace or embroidered pattern defined therein. - First and
second portions body 12 to provide a seamless patterned effect togarment 10. For example, first andsecond portions FIGS. 1 and 2 extending in a curvilinear manner vertically acrossbody 12. Namely, first andsecond portions body 12 to the upper edge of the body in a curvilinear manner. Of course, it is contemplated by the present invention for first andsecond portions - In some embodiments of the present invention,
garment 10 can be a shaped or fitted garment. For example,body 12 can have a length as measured fromstraps 14 to welt 16 and an inner diameter (not shown). The shaped aspect ofgarment 10 is provided by varying the inner diameter along the length ofbody 12. In the embodiment illustrated inFIGS. 1 and 2 ,body 12 includes a central shapedsection 25 that is narrowed with respect to other portions of the body. For example,body 12 has its maximum inner diameter where straps 14 andwelt 16 are secured to the body and a minimum inner diameter at central shapedsection 25. Of course, it is contemplated by the present invention for shapedsection 25 to be wider than other portions ofbody 12 and/or for the shaped section to be located non-central to the body. -
