KNITTED SEAMLES-S HOSIERY AND PROCESS OF MAKING SAME Filed May 14, 1962 United States Patent Ofce 3,155,92 Patented Jan. 26, 1965 3,166,922 KNTTED SEAMLESS HSlERY AND PRUCESS 01? MAKHNG SAME Urin R. York and .loe ("3. Walser, r., High Peint, NJC., assignors to Morpul Research, inc., a corporation of North Carolina Filed May 14, 1962, Ser. No. 194,531 1 Claim. (Ci. S6-172) This invention relates to knitted seamless hosiery and more particularly to rnock rib seamless hosiery and process of making same.
Heretofore, in mock rib hosiery or socks such as shown in Elder patent, Re. 24,384, October 29, i957, it has been common to knit mock rib socks on conventional needle cylinder hosiery machines in alternate courses of stretchable yarn with the courses having floats therein. The floats being formed of stretchable yarn tend to contract the sock coursewise thereby to cause the stitch loops adjacent the floats to protrude outwardly in walewise extending ribs. This creates a mock rib effect. The courses having the iioats have been formed heretofore of nonpreshrunk stretchable yarn and it has been found that subsequent finishing operations have caused the lioats to shrink. The shrinkage of the floats limits subsequent coursewise stretching of the sock to a sufficient extent to prevent the sock in many instances from being comfortably pulled over the foot and heel of a wearer. This results in undue stress in many instances as the sock is being pulled on and causes unnecessary wear and tear on such sock.
The present invention overcomes the -above mentioned diiiiculty by employing a preshrunk stretchable yarn in the oats of mock rib socks whereby there is no shrinkage coursewise in the floats upon subsequent finishing operations and the socks may be comfortably pulled over the feet of a wearer.
An object of the invention is to provide a mock rib sock land process of making same in which a plurality of courses of preshrunk stretchable yarn are knitted at selected Wales in the mock rib portion and float across intervening wales, wherebysuch sock retains its inherent stretchability, unaffected by subsequent finishing operations.
A further object of the invention is to provide a process of producing'a mock rib leg portion of seamless hosiery comprising knitting a yarn in ya plurality of alternate courses at every Wale, preshrinking a stretchable yarn, and knitting the preshrunk yarn in a plurality of intervening courses at selected Wales only with the yarn oating over intervening wales, whereby the mock rib leg portion retains its inherent stretchability unaffected by subsequent finishing operations.
An additional object is to provide a mock rib sock and a process for producing same in which a preshrunk stretchable yarn is knitted in alternate courses at selected wales and an ladditional yarn is knitted at least in some courses of the preshrunk yarn to plate such preshrunk yarn.
The knitted seamless hosiery and apparatus for carrying out the process of forming the hosiery is shown in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this application, in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a mock rib sock embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary View of the leg portion of the sock in FIG. l and showing some of the wales and courses therein;
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic view of the knitting stations in a circular knitting machine for knitting the mock rib sock shown in FIG. 1 and showing needles thereat;
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic plan view of the knitting stations in FIG. 3 showing the yarn being fed thereto; and,
FG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary view of a modified form of the mock rib portion of a sock in which the preshrunk stretchable yarn is plated with other yarn.
Referring now to the drawing for a better understanding of our invention, we show in FlG. l a mock rib sock indicated generally by the numeral 10 and having a top portion 11, a leg portion 12, and a foot portion 13. A heel pocket is indicated by the numeral 14 and toe pocket indicated by the numeral 16. A high splice portion 17 is provided above heel pocket 14. Foot portion 13 has an upper half or instep portion indicated by numeral 15. The above portions of a mock rib sock are conventional.
Knitting of such a sock has been on a conventional 3 and 3/4 or 4 inch needle cylinder circular hosiery machine as indicated partially in FIG. 4 by numeral 19. Knitting machine 19 has a main feeding or knitting station 21 and an auxiliary feeding station 22 and two complete courses are knitted upon each rotation of the needle cylinder. Knitting of the yarns at main station 21 and 1auxiliary station 22 has been carried out in such a manner to give sock 10 a rib appearance on -leg portion 12 and instep 15 which resembles closely a true rib knit fabric.
The mock rib `area in leg portion 12 and instep 15 as shown in FIG. 2 comprises a plurality of alternate main courses C-l and C-3 which are knitted at main feeding station 21 with body yarn indicated by the letter M. Intervening courses C-2 and C4 are knitted at auxiliary feeding station 22 with a stretchable, preshrunk yarn A.
Wales W-1, lll/2, W-3, W-4 and W-S are formed in each of the courses. Yarn A is fed at auxiliary feeding station 22 and floats across wales W-Z and W-4 to form floats F in courses C*2 Iand C-4. Stitch loops 23 of yarn M forming wales W-Z and `W4 are approximately the same length as the combined lengths of two intervening stitch loops Z1 of yarn M forming wales W-1, W-3 and W-5. Thus, contraction of floats F of stretchable yarn A causes the longer stitch loops 23 -to protrude outwardly in Walewise extending ribs thereby creating the mock rib effect.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4, needles 25 and 26 are provided at main feeding station 21 and yarn M is fed to each of the needles 25, 26 at main feeding station 21 through a guide 27. At auxiliary station 22, preshrunk yarn A is fed through guide 2S only to alternate needles 26. Upon rotation of the needle cylinder two complete courses are knitted, one at main feeding station 21 with body yarn M and another at auxiliary feeding station 122 with preshrunk yarn A. A conventional raise cam (not shown) raises needles 25 and 26 before reaching guide 27 and after passing guide 27 needles 25 and 26 move downwardly to position 31 and knit yarn M thereat. At latch clearing position 32 needles 25 and 26 move down to their original position indicated at 33. When needles 25 and 26 reach auxiliary feeding station Z2, the procedure is repeated but with the conventional raise cam (not shown) engaging only ialternate needles 26 to allow yarn A to be engaged at feeding station 22 only by alternate sneasae a needles 25. Thus, at auxiliary feeding station alternate or selected wales are knitted.
As a specific example, a pair of strands of non-preshrunk seventy denier two-ply stretchable yarns are fed at main lfeeding station 2.1 While a strand of seventy denier two-ply stretchable preshrunk yarn is fed to alternate needles at auxiliary feeding station Z2. The stretchable yarn may be texturized by any of the Well-known processes, such as Fuflon, Superloft, or Helanoa, to inipart a crimp or curl to the individual synthetic filaments to render the yarns stretchable. Stretchable yarn A fed to auxiliary feeding station 22 is preshrunk by knitting the yarn into a plain tube, finishing the same and then unraveling and rewinding the yarn on a cone to be fed at auxiliary station 22. The yarn could be preshrunk by other methods, such as winding it onto a collapsible bobbin and then subjecting it to steam heat in an autoclave.
Yarn A rin which fioats F are .'provided is a preshrunk stretchable yarn and may be formed of a natural or a syn thetic yarn. A yarn which We have found to Work ef ectively is a thermoplastic, synthetic, stretchable yarn such as multilament nylon. Natural yarns such as Wool and cotton may now be formed into stretchable yarns and may be employed satisfactorily. Daeron (a condensation only polymer of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol) and w Orlon (polyacrylonitrile) may also be employed satisfactorily.
While body yarn M in courses C-l and C-S has been indicated as being a stretchable yarn it is understood that yarn M may be a non-stretcha-ble yarn such as cotton, rayon, acetate, nylon, Orion, wool, Daeron or a combina tion of non-stretchable yarn made from a combination of these. Also, body yarn M may be preshrunk if formed of a stretchable yarn. The specific embodiment of sock if? shown in the drawings discloses yarn A knit in alternate Wales.
By having yarn A preshrunk, there is no subsequent shrinking thereof and the size of the knitted loops is preserved. In some instances it is desirable to form yarn A plated with another yarn, such as Orion plated over stretchable nylon yarn. By preshrinking the stretchable yarn over which Orion or the like is plated, suicient tension may be applied to the stretchable yarn so thatthe elasticity of the fabric is retained even after finishing. Other processes may be combined with the preshrinking process so that the time and cost -for the additional process is held to a minimum. An example is in the dyeing of preshrunk yarn at substantially the same time as the preshrinking of the yarn. Only a small additional amount of time is involved in dyeing the yarn with the preshrinking process. If a yarn had to be dyed separately considerable additional time and expense would be involvedas compared With the dyeing of a yarn when it is being preshrunk.
Referring now to FIG. 5, a modified form of the mock rib` portion of a sock is shown having at least some of the courses of preshrunk stretchable yarn plated with another yarn, such Vas Orlon. Course C-S shown in FIG. 5 is formed of preshrunk stretchable yarn A as in the ernbodirnent shown in FlG. 2, but has an additional yarn 2S d added thereto thereby to reinforce course C-S. Yarn 23 may be fed through alternate or selected needles at station 22 or may `be knitted at a separate feeding station.
From the foregoing, it will be understood that We have provided mock rib hosiery or socks in which a preshrunk stretchable yarn is knit in alternate courses and in selected Wales while iioating across intervening Wales. A body yarn is knit in alternate courses of every Wale. ri`he floats formed by the preshrunk stretchable yarn in alternate courses do not shrink upon subsequent finishing operations such as cleaning and dyeing, and the size of the loops or stitches formed by the stretchable yarn is preserved. Further, the preshrunk stretchable yarn may be plated with other yarn and yet the elasticity of the finished fabric is retained.
Thus, a seamless sock formed in accordance with the foregoing may be comfortably pulled over the foot and heel of a wearer without undue stress being exerted on the sock. This tends to decrease unnecessary wear and tear on the sock in placing the sock on and removing it from the foot of a wearer.
While We have shown our invention in more than one form, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that it is not so limited, but is susceptible of various other changes and modifications Without departing from the spirit thereof, and We desire, therefore, that only such limitations shall be placed thereupon as are specifically set forth in the appended claim.
What We claim is:
A self supporting, knitted seamless sock having a foot portion and a leg portion,
(a) said leg portion having a plurality of courses of multi-filament, synthetic, thermoplastic, stretchable yarn knitted at every Wale and a plurality of courses of preshrunk multilarnent, synthetic, thermoplastic stretchable yarn knitted at selected Wales and fioating across intervening Wales whereby a mock rib portion is obtained which retains its inherent stretchability after the sock is subjected to nishing operations.
