Definitions

  • This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in elastic top hosiery and, in particular, to the selvage edge of the elastic top which unlike that of most elastic tops in current use is composed entirely of elastic yarn.
  • the selvage and adjacent part of the elastic top of this invention is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1 and the approximate appearance of the finished edge is shown in Fig. 2. Both of these figures are, of course, greatly enlarged.
  • the top of this invention has a selvage composed of two diiferent elastic yarns, one of which is inlaid in part and tucked in part and the other of which is knitted. This is followed by the usual' plain fabric. Also, one of the elastic yarns utilized in making the selvage may be inlaid at every fourth wale of every course throughout. This construction results in an elastic top which, when the elastic is contracted, has a decided ribbed appearance which is accentuated when the elastic is stretched and is, consequently, entirely difierent than 1 x 1 rib fabric.
  • the selvage being all elastic has a stretch which is limited only by the strength of the elastic itself and is not restricted, as in present day tops and that of the patent referred to, to the comparative inelasticity of the inelastic fabric.
  • the elastic yarn is incorporated in the selvage under controlled and rather light tension, an extremely soft and comfortable edge is produced.
  • the tendency of the elastic to slip out of some of the loops of the first course which is a common defect in present day tops, is entirely eliminated by the juxtaposition of elastic against elastic and the manner in which the selvage is formed.
  • an inelastic yarn 1 is thrown in and knit on all of the needles as the result of which it is knitted through elastic yarn l which has been held on needles, such as 2, 4., etc., and through elastic yarn 6 in the wales corresponding to needles 3, 5, etc. Thereafter, the knitting of the rest of the top of inelastic yarn continues in the usual way. Also, as shown, elastic yarn I may be inlaid in every course in wales corresponding to needles 3, 5, etc. throughout the top to continue the rib characteristic begun by the selvage.
  • the inelastic yarn is joined to elastic yarn I at every fourth wale only and to elastic yarn 6 at every fourth wale only.
  • wales such as those corresponding to needles 3 and 5
  • wales such as 2 and 4
  • this latter characteristic produces tucks of elastic yarn l which combined with the tendency of elastic to straighten out accounts for the rearrangement of the courses made strikingly apparent by Fig. 2.
  • said inelastic yarn being knitted through said other elastic yarn at the same wales as "before and through said first mentioned elastic yarn at wales intermediate those last mentioned, said first mentioned elastic yarn also being inlaid at every fourth wale of said second course ofsaid other elastic yarn and in the same wales of every subsequent course.
