Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a knitted stocking, which comprises a first region, which comprises a tread region and/or a heel region and/or an upper heel region and/or a toe region and/or an over toe region of the stocking and contains at least one first material, and comprises a second region, which comprises a leg region and/or an instep region of the stocking and comprises at least one second material, which is different from the first material.
  • the coloured Jacquard pattern comprising floats and the pattern obtained by the splitting of additional yarns are known, in particular.
  • additional materials may be incorporated into a region of the stocking; however, this is associated with the drawback of cut yarn ends, which are located on the inside of the fabric and may be inconvenient during use of the stocking.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a knitted stocking of the type mentioned at the outset, in which the use of different materials in specific regions of the stocking is possible, as a result of which wearer comfort is improved.
  • this object is achieved, in the case of a stocking having the features of the preamble of claim 1 , in that the first region of the stocking is incorporated into the stocking as an at least two-ply knitted fabric using the intarsia method.
  • stocking refers, in the sense of this description and the accompanying claims, to any type of hosiery, including, in particular, a sock.
  • the intarsia method is a knitting method for inserting a region made from a different material into a knitted fabric, wherein the yarns made from the different material, in contrast to the Jacquard/floating pattern, do not run through the entire fabric, but rather are spatially delimited to the inserted region made from the different material.
  • intarsia method thus prevents the problems that occur as a result of the float loops in the case of the floating pattern.
  • intarsia method also allows different materials to be processed with spatial separation in a single stocking, without inconvenient yarn ends being produced, as in the case of the splitting of additional over or under-plated yarns, on the inside of the knitted fabric.
  • the stocking according to the invention may comprise completely different materials in its first region, which comprises the tread region and/or the heel region and/or the spliced heel region and/or the toe region and/or the over toe region of the stocking, from those in its second region, which comprises the leg region and/or the instep region of the stocking.
  • the materials of the first region and the second region are regarded as being different from one another, provided that at least one yarn made from the material of the first region is different from the material of the second region.
  • the material of the first region and the material of the second region comprise individual yarns that are knitted in both regions. However, it is also possible that only those yarns that are not present in the second region are knitted in the first region.
  • the stocking according to the invention allows materials that are purposefully adapted to the respective reason for wearing the stocking to be combined with one another in the first region, which is in the form of an at least two-ply knitted fabric, of the stocking, without the materials used in the second region of the stocking having to be taken into account.
  • the differences between the material of the first region and the material of the second region may, in principle, be of any kind and consist, for example, in a different material composition, a different yarn strength and/or different dyeing.
  • a particularly clean and rigid connection between the two regions is achieved if the first region is connected to the second region by interlocking in a transition region.
  • a transition region of this type may, in particular, comprise interlocking stitches of the material of the first region, which are knitted together with a respective stitch of the material of the second region.
  • the transition region comprises interlocking stitches of the material of the second region, which are knitted together with a respective stitch of the material of the first region.
  • a respective interlocking stitch of the material of the first region and an interlocking stitch of the material of the second region are in succession along the transition region.
  • a particularly secure connection between the two regions is achieved if the transition region contains at least one respective interlocking stitch in each stitch row.
  • the transition region comprises non-interlocked stitch rows, as well as stitch rows comprising interlocking stitches.
  • stitch rows comprising interlocking stitches and non-interlocked stitch rows are in succession in a recurring knitting repeat pattern.
  • This knitting repeat pattern may, in particular, comprise a respective stitch row comprising an interlocking stitch of the material of the first region, then a plurality of non-interlocked stitch rows, then a stitch row comprising an interlocking stitch of the material of the second region, and then a plurality of non-interlocked stitch rows, after which the knitting repeat pattern is repeated.
  • the stocking according to the invention may comprise, in a transition region between the first region and the second region, ventilation zones, which assist the comfort of the wearer of the stocking in that, in particular, they improve the transfer of moisture and the foot climate, as water vapour may be removed from the stocking more effectively through the ventilation zones.
  • the knitted fabric of the first region may, for example, be in the form of a plated knitted fabric, at least one plating yarn being under-plated or over-plated on a main yarn.
  • Plating is a method for the production of knitted fabrics, in which the main yarn and the plating yarn are processed in the same knitting system in such a way that one of these yarns is on the right product side of all of the stitches, and the other yarn is on the left product side of all of the stitches.
  • the plating method per se is well known to a person skilled in the art in the field of textile technology and is described, in particular, in the article “Ausvier des Fadenzulaufs auf die Qualitat plattierter Rundstrickware” by G. Buhler and 0 . Widmayer, which appeared in the journal “Wirkerei-und Strickereitechnik”, Vol. 42 (1992), Part 10, pages 931 ff., so a detailed description of the plating method per se may be dispensed with.
  • the knitted fabric of the first region is in the form of a main knitted fabric with additional plush padding, which may be produced internally or externally.
  • the material of the first region comprises wool. Wool, as a material, has, in particular, very good moisture absorption, a good heat insulation capacity and temperature-compensating properties.
  • the knitted fabric of the first region has an inner ply, which comprises wool.
  • the inner ply of the knitted fabric of the first region is preferably produced in its entirety from a woollen material.
  • the material of the first region comprises cotton.
  • Cotton also has good moisture absorption and, in particular in combination with wool, is comfortable to wear and provides a pleasant foot climate.
  • the knitted fabric of the first region has an outer ply, which comprises cotton.
  • the outer ply of the knitted fabric of the first region is preferably produced in its entirety from a cotton material.
  • the first region comprises an inner ply made from a woollen material and an outer ply made from a cotton material.
  • the material of the first region comprises a synthetic material, preferably polyamide and/or polypropylene.
  • the knitted fabric of the first region has an outer ply, which comprises a synthetic material, preferably polyamide and/or polypropylene.
  • said stocking is produced in such a way that the first region has an outer contour, which is asymmetrical with respect to the longitudinal centre plane of the foot part and/or the leg part of the stocking.
  • the outer contour of the first region is adapted, in a tread region of the stocking, to the course of the outer contour of the foot treading surface of a wearer of the stocking.
  • the toe region of the stocking is asymmetrical with respect to the longitudinal centre plane of the foot part of the stocking.
  • the toe region comprises a first edge portion, on the side of the large toe of a wearer of the stocking, and a second edge portion, on the side of the small toe of a wearer of the stocking, wherein the first edge portion is inclined at a smaller angle relative to the longitudinal centre plane of the foot part of the stocking than the second edge portion.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a method for knitting a stocking, which method allows the use of different materials in specific regions of the stocking, thus improving wearer comfort.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of a stocking comprising two different regions (regions A and B), which are knitted from different materials and are connected to each other using the intarsia method;
  • FIG. 2 shows a knitting pattern of a first embodiment of a stocking, in which the regions A and B interlock with each other in each stitch row;
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of the stitch structure of the stocking resulting from the knitting pattern according to FIG. 2 ;
  • FIG. 4 is a photographic image of the right side of a right-foot stocking comprising a region A made from a dark material and a region B made from a lighter material, the regions A and B interlocking with each other in each stitch row and the inside of the stocking (left product side) being turned outward;
  • FIG. 5 is a photographic image of the right side of a stocking according to the prior art, which is formed by the splitting of additional yarns into the region A and the cutting of the additional yarns, the inside of the stocking (left product side) being turned outward;
  • FIG. 6 shows a knitting pattern of a second embodiment of the stocking, in which the regions A and B interlock with each other only in every third stitch row, so ventilation zones are formed between the interlocking;
  • FIG. 7 is a schematic illustration of the stitch structure of the stocking resulting from the knitting pattern according to FIG. 6 ;
  • FIG. 8 is a photographic image of the right side of a left-foot stocking, the region A made from dark material and the region B made from lighter material interlocking with each other only in every third stitch row and ventilation zones being formed between the interlocking stitch rows, the outside of the stocking (right product side) being turned outward;
  • FIG. 9 is an enlarged illustration of the region II from FIG. 8 ;
  • FIG. 10 is a schematic plan view from below of the sole region of a right-foot stocking comprising a region A, which is knitted asymmetrically in the tread region;
  • FIG. 11 is a schematic plan view from below of the sole region of a left-foot stocking comprising a region A, which is knitted asymmetrically in the tread region;
  • FIG. 12 is a schematic plan view from above of the toe region of a left-foot stocking comprising an asymmetrically knitted toe region;
  • FIG. 13 is a schematic plan view from above of the toe region of a right-foot stocking comprising an asymmetrically knitted toe region.
  • a stocking illustrated in FIG. 1 and denoted in its entirety by reference numeral 100 comprises a foot part 102 and a leg part 104 , which is provided at its upper end with an elastic collar 106 , which may, for example, be in the form of an encircling double top.
  • the stocking 100 comprises a first region A, denoted by reference numeral 108 , and a second region B, denoted by reference numeral 110 , which are adjacent to each other along a transition line 112 and are knitted from different materials.
  • the region A is knitted from a first main yarn, on which a first plating yarn is under-plated, so the first plating yarn is located on the inside (left product side) of the first main yarn, and the first main yarn substantially completely covers the first plating yarn toward the outside (right product side) of the stocking.
  • the region A of the stocking 100 is therefore two-ply in its construction and comprises an inner ply, made from the first plating yarn, and an outer ply, made from the first main yarn.
  • the region A comprises, in this embodiment, those regions that are subject to particular stress when the stocking 100 is being worn, namely the toe region 114 , the over toe region 116 , the heel region 118 , the spliced heel region 120 , and the tread region 121 , which is located between the toe region 114 and the heel region 118 , of the stocking 100 .
  • a woollen yarn is preferably used as the first plating yarn in order to form the inner ply, facing the foot of the wearer of the stocking 100 , of the region A.
  • Wool as a material, is suitable for forming this inner ply, in particular owing to its very good moisture absorption, its good heat insulation capacity and its temperature-compensating properties.
  • the purposeful use of wool in the inner ply of the region A of the stocking 100 is particularly beneficial for absorbing sweat, since, owing to the physiology of the foot, approximately 60% of the perspiratory glands are located in the sole of the foot.
  • the material used as the first main yarn for forming the outer ply, which is remote from the foot of the wearer of the stocking 100 , of the region A of the stocking 100 may be adapted according to the respective wearer requirements.
  • the outer ply of the region A comprises cotton, in particular mercerised cotton.
  • Cotton like wool, has good moisture absorption and, in particular in combination with wool, is comfortable to wear and provides a pleasant foot climate.
  • a synthetic material in particular polyamide and/or polypropylene, may also be used in the outer ply of the region A.
  • these materials have low to imperceptible moisture absorption, so they allow effective redrying of the stocking 100 .
  • polypropylene in the outer ply of the region A.
  • Polypropylene does not absorb any moisture and therefore has a good moisture transfer capability.
  • the stocking 100 is used in functional shoes comprising water vapour-permeable membranes, the moisture is transported highly effectively, in conjunction with an outer ply, which comprises polypropylene, away from the foot and out of the shoe.
  • the region B which comprises the portions of the foot part 102 and the leg part 104 of the stocking 100 that are located outside of the region A, comprises, in the case of the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 , the instep region 122 and the region 124 , which remains adjacent to the spliced heel region 120 , of the leg part 104 .
  • This region B may be one-ply or multi-ply in its construction.
  • the region B is two-ply in its construction and comprises a second main yarn, on which a second plating yarn is under-plated, so the second main yarn forms an outer ply, which is remote from the foot of the wearer of the stocking 100 , of the region B, and the second plating yarn forms an inner ply, which faces the foot of the wearer of the stocking 100 , of the region B.
  • Cotton is preferably used as the second main yarn for the outer ply of the region B.
  • Cotton is soft, easy-care and pleasant to wear, and therefore results in a high degree of wearer comfort in the leg and instep regions.
  • a resilient material for example elastane, may, for example, be used as the second plating yarn for forming the inner ply of the region B.
  • the stocking 100 is produced on a single-cylinder circular knitting machine comprising at least two knitting systems, a first system and a second system, which diametrically oppose each other over the perimeter of the cylinder of the circular knitting machine.
  • the circular knitting machine may comprise further knitting systems, although these are not compulsory.
  • the first system produces, in the region A, a plain knitted fabric from the material of the region A.
  • the second system produces, in the region B, a plain knitted fabric from the material of the region B.
  • the circular knitting machine is operated in oscillating mode in the stitch rows, which contain both stitches of the region A and stitches of the region B.
  • region A is connected to the region B using the intarsia method.
  • a first option for connecting the regions A and B using the intarsia method is illustrated in the knitting pattern of FIG. 2 and in the associated schematic stitch structure of FIG. 3 .
  • this connection option the regions A and B interlock with each other, along the transition line 112 , in each stitch row, which contains stitches both from the region A and from the region B.
  • the circular knitting machine is accordingly operated in the oscillating mode, the material 131 of the region A (i.e. the first main yarn, which is plated with the first plating yarn) being knitted in the first system, and the material 133 of the region B (i.e. the second main yarn, which is plated with the second plating yarn) being knitted in the second system of the knitting machine.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 indicate the respective shuttle direction by means of the arrow 123 .
  • the needles 125 of the knitting machine thus move to form a first stitch row, for example toward the left, by means of the first system, so the stitches 126 of the region A are knitted on the needles associated with the region A (see FIG. 2 ).
  • the first needle 127 which is associated with the region B, captures the yarns of the material of the region A and forms a loop 128 .
  • This loop 128 of the material of the region A is then knitted, together with a stitch 130 of the material of the region B, on the same needle 127 in the second system, in the same stitch row as the stitches 126 of the region A, so an interlocking stitch is formed.
  • the further stitches 132 of the region B are knitted in the same stitch row in the second system.
  • the stitches 134 of the material of the region B are knitted in the second system.
  • the first needle 129 which is adjacent to the needles of the region B, of the region A captures the yarns of the material of the region B and forms a loop 136 therefrom.
  • the loop 136 of the material of the region B is then knitted, together with a stitch 138 of the material of the region A, in the first system, in the same stitch row as the stitches 134 of the region B, so an interlocking stitch is formed, after which the further stitches 139 of the region A are knitted in the same stitch row.
  • FIG. 3 The schematic stitch structure resulting from this knitting pattern according to FIG. 2 is illustrated in FIG. 3 .
  • the material of the region A in FIGS. 2 and 3 differs from the material of the region B in terms of its greater knitting strength. However, this different illustration is intended merely for illustrative purposes and does not provide any information regarding any differing yarn strengths of the material in the regions A and B.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 (as also in the corresponding FIGS. 6 and 7 ), the material for the regions A and B is shown schematically, for reasons of clarity of illustration, as in each case only one yarn, although it is entirely possible, as described above, for the material of both regions A and B to consist of a plurality of yarns.
  • FIG. 5 shows the inside of a conventional stocking 100 ′, in which additional yarns are incorporated, by means of splitting, into the sole region 140 , which yarns are cut, so a large number of loose yarn ends 146 , which are adjacent to the wearer's foot when the stocking 100 ′ is being used and have an inconvenient effect during wearing, extend along the transition line 142 between the sole region 140 and the instep region 144 of this stocking 100 ′.
  • the position of the transition line 112 between the regions A and B may vary along the perimeter of the leg part 104 or along the perimeter of the foot part 102 , and this is brought about as a result of the fact that the number of needles, which are respectively associated with the region A or the region B, is gradually varied from stitch row to stitch row during knitting in the oscillating mode.
  • region A is asymmetrical with respect to the longitudinal centre plane 148 of the foot part 102 or the leg part 104 of the stocking 100 .
  • the transition line 112 between the regions A and B is more arched toward the longitudinal centre plane 148 on that side of the stocking 100 on which the inner foot arch of the wearer of the stocking 100 is located during wearing of the stocking 100 than on the opposing side of the stocking 100 .
  • the course of the transition line 112 between the regions A and B thus substantially corresponds, in the tread region 121 of the stocking 100 , to the outer contour of the foot treading surface of the wearer of the stocking 100 .
  • the toe region 114 of the stocking 100 is also asymmetrical with respect to the longitudinal centre plane 148 of the foot part 104 , in order to allow more effective adaptation of the stocking 100 to the course of the toes of the wearer of the stocking 100 (see FIGS. 12 and 13 ).
  • an inner edge portion 150 arranged on the side of the wearer's large toe, is inclined at a smaller angle relative to the longitudinal centre plane 148 of the foot part 102 than an outer edge portion 152 , arranged on the side of the wearer's small toe.
  • the left-foot stocking and the right-foot stocking of a pair are not identical with each other, but rather are mirror-symmetrical to each other.
  • a second embodiment, illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9 , of a stocking 100 according to the invention differs from the above-described the first embodiment in that the knitted fabrics of the regions A and B do not interlock with each other in each stitch row, which contains stitches both from the region A and from the region B, but rather only in every nth stitch row, wherein n is at least 2 and preferably 3.
  • Ventilation zones 154 are produced, in the transition region between the regions A and B, in the form of ventilation openings, which are in succession along the transition line 112 and are separated from one another by means of the interlocking, consisting of a respective interlocking stitch 128 , 136 and a stitch 130 or 138 , knitted together with the interlocking stitch, located therebetween.
  • These ventilation zones 154 promote the wearer comfort of the stocking 100 .
  • a stocking 100 comprising ventilation zones 154 in the transition region between the regions A and B, which extend over two respective stitch rows, is produced as follows using a knitting repeat pattern of six stitch rows according to the knitting pattern illustrated in FIG. 6 :
  • the circular knitting machine comprising the first system, which produces a plain knitted fabric in the region A, and a second system, which produces a plain knitted fabric in the region B, is in the oscillating mode.
  • the needles 125 move, for example, toward the left.
  • the first needle 127 which is associated with the region B, captures the yarns of the material 131 of the region A and forms therefrom a loop 128 , which is then knitted, in the second system, together with a stitch 130 of the material 133 of the region B, so an interlocking stitch is formed.
  • the shuttle direction 123 is reversed, and the stitches 134 of the second stitch row are knitted in the region B in the second system, without a loop being captured on a needle associated with the region A.
  • the stitches 156 of the second stitch row and, once the shuttle direction has been reversed, the stitches 158 of the third stitch row are then knitted in the region A in the first system, without a loop of the material of the region A being captured on a needle associated with the region B.
  • the regions A and B are therefore produced without interlocking stitches, thus forming a ventilation zone 154 extending through these stitch rows.
  • the final needle 129 which is associated with the region A, captures the yarns of the material of the region B and forms therefrom a loop 136 .
  • This loop 136 is knitted with a stitch 138 of the material for the region A in the first system, on the same needle 129 and in the same stitch row. Interlockings, which connect the regions A and B and delimit the ventilation zone 154 formed in the second and third stitch rows, are thus formed in the fourth stitch row, as they are in the first stitch row.
  • the stitches 162 of the fourth stitch row in the region A and, once the shuttle direction has been reversed, the stitches 164 of the fifth stitch row in the region A are then knitted by means of the first system, without a loop of the material of the region A being formed on a needle associated with the region B.
  • the stitches 166 of the fifth stitch row in the region B and, once the shuttle direction has been reversed, the stitches 168 of the sixth stitch row in the region B are then knitted by means of the second system, without a loop of the material of the region B being formed on a needle associated with the region A.
  • the regions A and B are therefore produced without interlocking stitches, thus forming a further ventilation zone 154 .
  • the first needle 127 which is associated with the region B, again captures the yarns made of the material of the region A and forms therefrom a loop 128 , which is then knitted in the second system, together with a stitch 130 of the material of the region B, in the same stitch row and on the same needle 127 , in order to form interlockings, which delimit the second ventilation zone 154 .
  • the knitting repeat pattern is thus repeated, as from the seventh stitch row.
  • FIG. 7 The schematic stitch structure resulting from the knitting pattern according to FIG. 6 is illustrated in FIG. 7 .
  • the second embodiment, illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9 of a stocking 100 corresponds, in terms of construction, function and method of production, to the first embodiment, illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4 , to the foregoing description of which reference is therefore made.
  • the interlockings, connecting the two regions, in each stitch row comprise not only one respective loop, which is knitted together with a stitch of the material of the respective other region, but rather a plurality of adjacent loops, which are then respectively knitted together with a stitch of the material of the respective other region, thus forming a corresponding number of interlocking stitches.
