Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a method of procedure and an apparatus forthe production on a modified con ventional full fashioned knitting machine (cotton machine) of stockings with anti-run devices, and stockings produced in accordance withthis method of pro- 1 is held cedure.
  • the stockings made in accordance with this method of procedure havereinforced feet.
  • A'feature of a stocking in accordance with the invention' is that duringits'knitting on the full. fashioned knitting machine there areknitted special anti-run threads along the whole of the edge of the foot reinforcement or solely along-the edge "of the toe' reinforcement which anti-run threads by being transferred from one or more wales to other wales, form-cross-binding stitches at the points of crossing.
  • the stockings ordinary meshes hereby becomef filledwith more than two threads, by which means there is formeda kind of stopper, which prevents-running upwards or downwards. The prevention of running upwards is of "the greatest importance;
  • the stopper eflect of fthes'e anti-run threads can be increased by making these especially thick and one can 'contingently use threads of-a different kind from that used for the remainder of the stocking, for instance 'h'eavier thre'ads' of fcre'pe nylon, artificial silk, cotton or woolb e
  • the transfer of the anti-run threads from one needle wale toanother is carried out by the lateral displacement in the frame of the, thread guides for these threads.
  • the anti-run threads form lines walewise in the longitudinalllength of the .stocking, .or. if they are displaced theselines fbrmrowsobliqueto the direction of the Wales;
  • the knitting machine shall have a double set of thread guides, working one above the other, and each having more than one tube or more than one thread guide with an eye, and which can be moved in opposite directions to each other for forming anti-run stitches in individual courses.
  • the drawing shows diagrammatically some embodiments of parts of a knitting machine in accordance with the invention and various embodiments of stockings produced in accordance with the invention.
  • Fig. 1 shows a thread guide holder with three thread guiding tubes
  • Fig. 2 a thread guide holder with four thread guides
  • Fig. 3 a side elevation view of Fig. 2,
  • Fig. 6 a spring wire bracket with accessories
  • Figs. 7-9 show anti-run threads forming various types of meshes
  • Figs. 10, 11 and 12 various stockings laid out flat
  • Fig. 13 a stocking sewed together and pulled over a model foot.
  • a thread guide holder for adding the anti-run threads is represented by 1, and this has an opening 2 and below carries three ordinary thread guides 3, through which threads 4 are led.
  • the thread guide holders are attached to a thread guide steel rod or a rail, which can be moved laterally along the needle frame in both directions. In its position of rest the thread guide holder outside the needle'frame, but during operation it is held in the requisite place in the needle frame, where it can be moved in the requisite manner.
  • Figs. '2 and 3 show an alternate means for adding the anti-run thread.
  • a thread guide holder is designated by 5, and this has an opening 6 and below carries four so-called thread guides.
  • a thread guide 7 has the form of an angle with a short leg 8 and a longer leg 9.
  • V At'the" angle is located an eye by means of which the thread guide can be located on and turnably held by a shaft 11, which in any suitable manner is attached to the thread guide holder laterally of the opening 6.
  • An eye 12-. is located on the long leg 9 by means of which the thread guide can be fastened to a pin 13 which can he slid in through holes 14 bored in the thread guide holder 5, and from which holes it is easily retractable as required.
  • a thread In the operative position of the guide a thread can 'easily .be threaded through an eye 15 on the short leg 8, but it is first after the pin 13 has been re tracted that the guide can be swung out to the position shown in Fig. 3' exposing an eye 16 on the long leg, so that a thread 4 may easily be threaded.
  • Fig. 4 are shown the positions of the first formof thread guide tube, .a high sinker 17 and a low divider 18.
  • the thread guide extends down to a point just above a divider 18, althoughthe thread 4 can be caught by the sinker and by the divider.
  • e thread is led from a spool over a braking device 19 2 of any suitable type, and further over a bendable spring wire bracket 19b to a thread guide 7.
  • a braking device 19 2 of any suitable type
  • a bendable spring wire bracket 19b to a thread guide 7.
  • the thread guide is displaced adistance of two wales to the right so that a course is formed consisting of the last mesh 22 in the Wale, an intermediate mesh 23 and the first mesh 24 in a new wale.
  • the body meshes of the stocking itself are not shown.
  • Fig. 8 shows a mesh system consisting of three wales 25-28, 2629 and 27-30, of the type shown in Fig. 7.
  • the system is knitted by means of a thread guide means with three guides therein, which each deliver thread to their own wale.
  • the three wales 25, 26 and 27 are first knitted.
  • the thread guide is dispaced. to the right a distance of two wales. This causes the formation of cross-binding meshes 29, 30 and 31a, and the ordinary mesh 32a in that the anti-run thread from mesh 28 crosses the threads from meshes 29 and 30 and therefore forms the wale SO 27a.
  • the thread from wale 30 forms mesh 32a.
  • the Wales 3141, 31 and 32a, 32 are formed.
  • the cross-binding meshes 31 and 32 are formed in similar way as set forth above.
  • Fig, 9 is shown a system of meshes knitted, by a thread guide with three thread guiding tubes, each of which delivers a thread to two steel needles.
  • the thread guide After knitting the double wales 33, 34 and 35 the thread guide is displaced the width of two wales to the right.
  • there are formed crossbinding meshes at the wales 34, 33a and 35, 33b and the double wales part 37, 38, 33a and 39, 40, 42, 43 as well as the new double wale 35a 44, 45 are knitted with the threads from wales 33,34 and 35 respectively.
  • Figs. 10, 11 and 12 are shown stockings laid out flat, as they are delivered'from the knitting machine and before they are stitched together along the seam and under the foot.
  • a re-inforced portion 46 of the stocking at the heel and the foot is shown hatched.
  • Fig. there are shown just over the re-inforced heel portion 47 three lines of anti-run threads 48, 49, 50 which from the edge 51 of the stocking are led diagonally for a suitable distance and then stepwise down towards the centre of the stocking, so that they prevent running from the heel portion 47.
  • the anti-run line 50 follows the inner edge of the heel re-inforcement forming a wale.
  • Fig. 11 is shown a stocking with a heel portion of ordinary kind, and where only the angle-shaped part of the anti-run course or courses at the toe portion is shown knitted.
  • Fig. 12 is shown a stocking with an ordinary heel portion, where only the inner part of the angle-shaped part'of the lines of the anti-êtvice is shown knitted.
  • the anti-run lines are continued past their point of intersection, so that a cross is formed, the arms of which may have any chosen suitable length.
  • Fig. 13 shows a stocking in accordance. with Fig. 10 assembled and mounted on a model foot.
  • a full fashioned stocking having a foot reinforcement and having rows of courses of anti-run threads knitted into the meshes of the body of the said stocking which rows commence at the beginning of the heel reinforcement and extend diagonally inwardly a predeterminded distance on the stocking and then continue down in the direction of the wales ofthe body of the stocking and alongto the edge of the foot portion of the reinforcement to the toe'portioh' alio i g'"the' edge' of which they continue to the middle of the foot of the stocking.
  • a full fashioned sto n hav ng 4 t reinforcement and having rows of courses knitted of anti-run threads knitted into'the rn e she's of the body of the said stocking on the right and left hand side of the foot portion of the said' stocking in which the said rows cross each other on the middle line of the foot adjacent the toe thereof and extend a little distance into the said reinforcement.
  • a full fashioned stocking having a toe and foot reinforc emen't knitted into the meshes of the body of the stocking by means of anti-run threads forming rows of courses, said anti-run threads beingpositioned along each leg of said meshes, said rows extending from themi'ddle part of the inner edge of the toe reinforcement and following said inner edge and the edge of the foot reinforcement ad oining the toe reinforcement along at least part of its length.
  • a full fashioned stocking having a toe, foot and heel reinforcement knitted into the meshes of the of the stocking by means of anti-run threads and forming rows of courses, the anti-run threads extending along the legs of said meshes, said rows commencing above the top of the heel reinforcement on the back portion of the stocking and extending obliquely to the front edge of said heel reinforcement and downwardly to the edge of the foot reinforcement, along the foot reinforcement to the edge of the toe reinforcement and then to the middle part of the foot of the stocking along the edge of the toe reinforcement.
