15 Claims.
Our improved fabric is a primarily fiat web having borders at its opposite longitudinal edges in unitary relation with its body portion, and
such web is for use in the manufacture of socalled foundation garments, such as corsets, girdles, etc. The essential feature thereof is that its body portion is elastic both longitudinally and transversely, whereas, said borders are elastic longitudinally but not transversely. That effect in the borders is attained by extending elastic threads longitudinally therein connected transversely by threads which are inelastic and tensed. The body portion of the web also includes elastic threads extending longitudinally and connected transversely by inelastic threads, but the elastic body threads are offset transversely, to and fro, at short intervals, so that they yield transversely. The ends of such a web may be joined to form a tubular zone to encircle the body of the wearer; which zone resiliently yields to fit the contours of the wearers body and permits ease of movement of the latter in any direction, while the borders being inelastic transversely with respect to the fabric, to wit, vertically with respect to the body of the wearer, afford a firm foundation for the attachment of shoulder straps, garter hangers, etc.
As hereinafter described, our improved fabric is composed of threads which are elastic and inelastic per se. Such component threads may be of any kind but we prefer to use elastic threads which have a core of material which is elastic per se, spirally wrapped with inelastic thread.
' For instance, such cores may be strips, of rectangular cross section, cut from a sheet of vulcanized rubber or may be formed of extruded latex, vulcanized or otherwise congealed in cylindrical form.
In the two forms of our fabric hereinafter described, the elastic and the inelastic threads are in the proportion of approximately sixty per cent., of the former to forty per cent., of the latter, and those fabrics are adapted to be knit upon a flat knitting machine of ordinary construction including a single row of needles to which the threads extend through guides carried by a plurality of guide bars which are movable transversely with respect to the fabric. It is characteristic of both of those fabrics that the threads which connect the longitudinal threads transversely in the fabric extend obliquely back and forth with respeit thereto, forming what may be termed lock stitches.
Our invention includes the various novel fea-- tures of construction, arrangement, and method of operation hereinafter more definitely specified.
In said drawings, Fig. I is a perspective view of a portion of a primarily flat web embodying our invention.
Fig. II is a perspective view of a portion of such a web having its ends Joined to form a tubular foundation garment.
Fig. III is a diagram showing a preferable pattern arrangement of the elastic and inelastic threads in cooperative relation in the fabric.
Fig. IV is a diagram similar to Fig. III but showing a modified pattern arrangement of the fabric threads.
Referring to Fig. I, the primarily flat web I has borders 2 and 3 at its opposite longitudinal edges in unitary relation'with its body portion 4.
As shown in Fig. II, a portion of such a wb as indicated in Fig. I has its ends joined, by any suitable suture 5, to form a tubular foundation garment 6. Although I have indicated in Fig. II M cured at their ends to the border 2, as indicated at l0. Similarly, the upper ends of the garter hangers 8 may be firmly secured to the border 3, as indicated at H.
Fig. III diagrammatically indicates a typical pattern arrangement of the threads in the fabric web 1 which may be formed upon a fiat knitting machine having a single row of needles extending transversely with respect to the fabric and a plurality of guide bars carrying guides for the respective threads; said bars being movable transversely with respect to the fabric. In Fig. III the circles l2 indicate loops formed by respective knitting needles in said single series. The fabric includes in the border 2 (which is similar to the border 3 not shown in Fig. III) a plurality of heavy elastic threads l3 in which are formed respective chains of loops l2 extending straight longitudinally in the fabric. Although we have indicated but eight of such heavy elastic thread chains in the border 2 shown in Fig. 111, it is to be understood that any desired number may be employed in accordance with the width of the border desired. Those elastic chains l3 are of course readily distensible in the direction of their length, but they are locked in the fabric against transverse separation by inelastic threads H which extend obliquely in the fabric from the first to the third needle and back again; and from the second to the fourth needle and back again; and so on throughout the width of the border. We find it convenient to form said threads ll of two ends or filaments of mercerized cotton to afford substantial resistance to any stress upon the borders transversely with respect to the fabric.
As indicated in Fig. III, the body portion 4 of the fabric I between the opposite edge borders 2 and 3 is formed of lighter elastic threads IS in which chains of loops l2 are formed in series extending straight longitudinally in the fabric for three loops. Thereupon, said light elastic threads iii are shifted, by their guides, to the same extent as the border threads, to wit, two needle spaces, so that they extend obliquely transversely with respect to the fabric between the third and fourth courses: of loops. Thereupon, said light elastic threads I6 are formed in chains of three loops I2 in succession extending straight longitudinally in the fabric and then said threads I6 are guided back to their original position so as to extend obliquely transversely in the fabric between the sixth and seventh courses of loops, and so. on throughout the knitting operation, the chains formed by the threads "5 being offset transversely first in one direction and then in the other after the formation of a succession of loops in each position.
Said light elastic threads IS in the body 4 of the fabric l indicated in Fig. III-are connected transversely by light inelastic threads I I which are respectively guided from the first to the third needle and back again at each successive looping operation of the machine, so that they extend obliquely backand forth in the fabric. Both borders 2 and 3 and the body 4 are transversely connected in unitary relation in accordance with Fig. III, both by the heavy inelastic threads l4 which extend obliquely transversely in the web I from the borders into the body 4, and by the light elastic threads l6 and light inelastic threads IT which extend obliquely transversely in said web body into the borders.
The arrangement above described with reference to Fig. III firmly connects the body portion 4 of the fabric with the borders 2 and 3 at its opposite edges, in unitary relation, and permits said body portion to readily stretch both longitudinally and transversely and permits the borders 2 and 3 to stretch longitudinally with the body 4, or independently thereof, but prevents said borders stretching transversely with respect to the body and thus affords a firm connection for the shoulder straps I and the garter hangers 8 or any other desired attachments to the web I.
Fig. IV diagrammatically indicates a modified pattern arrangement of the threads in the fabric l'which may be formed upon a flat knitting machine of the character above described. In Fig. IV the fabric differs from that in Fig. III in that the inelastic threads l4 in the border and the inelastic threads I! in the body extend obliquely in the fabric only to the extent of one needle space and back again instead of two needle spaces as in Fig. III.
It is characteristic of fabric of both patterns indicated in Figs. III and IV that although the body portion 4 is elastic/both longitudinally and transversely, it is more elastic transversely, so that a girdle formed therefrom yields readily to bending movements of the body. However, it may be made equally elastic both longitudinally and transversely or more elastic longitudinally than transversely, in accordance with the relative positions and tension of the threads.
Therefore, we do not desire to limit ourselves to the precise details of construction, arrangement, or method of operation herein set forth, as it is obvious that various modifications may be made therein without departing from the essential features of our invention, as defined in the appended claims.
We claim:
