  • the present invention relates to a knitted article and the method of making the same. More particularly the present invention relates to a knitted article which can be napped without damaging the article, and the method of making the same.
  • the knitted article In the manufacture of many types of knit-ted articles it is desirable to provide the knitted article with a nap. This is achieved by brushing the outer surface of the kn t a cl to a s he as e ya n In the. ma p hdhs hh hf th k i t articl s th n e es. or t. ast rati n a ia 9 the r les re kn t ed. y a knitt machihehs sq t nh s s f. the ar cles Q 'PQ S ereof.

  • Figure 2 is a greatly enlarged view of the portion of the knitted article encircled in Figure 1 illustrating the stitches of the knitted interconnection of the present invention.
  • Figure 3 is a chart showing the operation of the needles of a knitting machine to achieve the interconnection illustrated in Figure 2.
  • each of the sweater bodies 32 includes a body portion 14 and a ribbed waist section 16.
  • the sweater bodies 12 are continuously knitted on a circular knitting machine with the body portion 14 of each of the sweater bodies 12 being connected to the ribbed waist section 16 of the adjacent sweater body 12 by a knitted interconnection, designated as 18.
  • the body portion 14 of each of the sweater bodies- 12 is formed of an interlock stitch, and the ribbed waist sections 16 are formed of a rib stitch.
  • a circular knitting machine is made up of two' sets of needles, the cylinder needles, and the dial. needles.
  • I he cylinder needles. are vertical needles. which are arranged in sideby-side relation around the outer SHIT-- face of a stationary cylinder of the knitting machine.
  • T i nee les are. horizontal needles. which are at ranged in side-by-side relation around the flat top surface of the cylinder of the knitting machine.

  • the chart of Figure 3 shows that courses 1 and 3 were knitted using only the high butt cylinder and high butt dial needles and course 2 was knitted using only the low butt cylinder and low butt dial needles.
  • the rib stitch of the ribbed waist section 16 of the sweater bodies 12 is knitted using only one type of each set of needles.
  • the ribbed stitch of the ribbed waist section 16 is knitted by only the high cylinder and high dial needles.
  • the courses of stitches 16 and 17 were knitted using only the high cylinder and high dial needles, and constitute a portion of the ribbed waist section 16.
  • the chart of Figure 3 shows that the courses 16 and 17 were knitted using only the high butt cylinder and high butt dial needles.
  • the courses of stitches between the interlock stitches illustrated at the bottom of Figure 2, and the rib stitches, illustrated at the top of Figure 2, constitute the interconnection 18 between the body portion 14 of one sweater body 12 and the ribbed waist section 16 of the adjacent sweater body 12.
  • the interconnection 18 provides an ending or web for the body portion 14, a conversion to the rib stitching of the ribbed waist section 16, and includes a separating thread which connects the body portion 14 and ribbed waist section 16 but permits separating of the sweater bodies 12.
  • the interconnection 18 must provide a conversion in which the stitches on the low butt needles are dropped to permit the knitting of the rib stitches.
  • the stitches from the low but cylinder needles are cast off, there would be provided a projecting stitch on the outer surface of the continuous strip 10 which could be broken during the napping operation.
  • the interlock stitch of the body portion 14 is continued through course 5 as indicated in Figure 3.
  • Course 6 is knitted by knitting with the high butt cylinder needles, the high butt dial needles, and the low butt dial needles, but not knitting with the low butt cylinder needles.
  • the stitches on the low butt cylinder needles are transferred to the low butt dial needles so that the low butt dial needles now contain two stitches.
  • this places the low butt cylinder stitches 20 formed in course 4 directly over the adjacent low butt dial stitches 22 in course 6.
  • course 7 only the high butt dial and low butt dial needles are knitted.
  • course 7 knits the transferred low butt stitches 20 to the low butt dial stitches 22.
  • the low butt cylinder stitches are dropped without providing any loose stitches on the outer surface of the continuous strip 10.
  • all of the remaining stitches, the high butt cylinder, the high butt dial, and the low butt dial, are knitted, and in courses 9 and 10 only the high butt dial and the low butt dial needles are knitted.
  • a separator thread 24 is inserted and is knitted by the high butt cylinder needles only.
  • a second separating thread 26 is inserted and is knitted by only the high butt dial needles.
  • the original type of thread is reinserted and is knitted by both the high butt cylinder and the high butt dial needles.
  • the stitches 28 on the low butt dial needles are cast off. Although the stitches 28 are cast off, since they are dial needle stitches, they are on the inner surface of the continuous strip 10. Therefore, the cast olf stitches 28 do not interfere with the napping of the continuous strip 10.
  • the continuous strip 10 of the sweater bodies 12 can be passed under a rotating brush to raise the nap of the yarn. Since the continuous strip 10 of the present invention has no loose stitches projecting from the outer surface thereof, the napping operation will not cause any runs in the knitted continuous strip 10. The napped continuous strip 10 can then be sheared to provide a nap of uniform height.
  • the sweater bodies 12 of the continuous strip 10 are then separated by breaking the separator threads 24 and 26 and pulling the separator threads 24 and 26 from the continuous strip 10. Since the separator threads 24 and 26 connect the high cylinder and high dial stitches of the ribbed waist section 16 with the high cylinder and high dial stitches of the previous body portion 14, once the separating threads 24 and 26 are broken and removed, the sweater bodies 12 are entirely separated.
  • the continuous knitted strip 10 of the present invention has been described with regard to making sweater bodies, the method of the present invention can also be used for making continuous knitted strips of other portions of a sweater, or other types of knitted articles. Also, although the continuous knitted strip 10 of the present invention has been described as being knitted on a circular knitting machine, it can also be knitted on a straight knitting machine having two sets of needles comparable to the cylinder and dial needles of a circular knitting machine.
  • garment body shall be construed as meaning a discrete garment unit, such as a sweater body or sleeve comprised of a body portion and a ribbed portion.
  • a continuous strip of garment bodies would include a plurality of sweater bodies or sweater sleeves.
