3 Claims. (Cl. 66-1) The present invention is concerned essentially with a device for casting on knit work whereby a turned welt can be formed along the edge of the knit work by causing the loops of the first course to be interpolated with those of a subsequent course.
It is known that by forming a turned welt on knit work its strength as well as its appearance are improved considerably. However, whether in the case of hand knitted hosiery or in the case of machine or mechanical knitting, interpolating the loops of the first course with those of a subsequent course constitutes a long and delicate operation.
It is an object of this invention to overcome this difficulty, by providing a device which comprises a support or like member on which a plurality of loops are mounted, each loop being adapted to receive a stitch from the first course of the knit work.
Under these conditions it is clear that the device, by holding the first row of stitches by means of loops, facilitates considerably the stitch by stitch cast-on step to be effected subsequently for forming the aforesaid turned welt.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the aforesaid support consists of a plate or like member having a plurality of arched shaped members, hollow teeth, or the like formed along one of its edges which extend at right angles to the plane of said plate, said loops being formed by means of a flexible yarn such as a woolen yarn extending through said arched shaped members or the like, and projecting from separate gaps between adjacent arched shaped members. Such loops of flexible yarn constitute means supported from the arch members for receiving stitches from an independent knitted course for supporting such stitches and enabling the turning of a welt, whereafter the flexible yarn can be removed from the turned welt of the knitted course and reused with the base for other subsequent knitted courses. Thus, the flexible yarn enables forming long flexible loops which facilitate the knitting of the stitches thereto to form a turned welt.
Still in accordance with this invention, all said arched shaped members are of the same dimension and all the gaps between them are of the same width.
Other features and advantages of this invention will appear from the following description taken with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view showing a form of embodiment of the device of the invention;
FIGURE 2 is an elevational view showing the use of the device according to the embodiment of FIGURE 1 for casting on hosiery; and
FIGURE 3 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the device of this invention.
FIGURES 1 and 2 illustrate a form of embodiment of the device of this invention, which consists essentially of a plate 5 carrying along one edge a plurality of arch shaped members 6 of the same dimensions, separated from one another by regular intervals so as to constitute a kind of comb with hollow teeth. A woolen yarn or string or lace 7 is passed through the arched shaped members 6, the yarn or lace being caused to project between adjacent arched shaped members to form the successive loops 7', 7", 7"
Although these arched shaped members (i may have any desired configuration, they are preferably rectangular and their width is substantially equal to the thickness of plate 5, as shown in FIGURES 1 and 2. The device may be made from any suitable material and preferably by moulding from easily mouldable plastic or like material. Of course, it would not constitute a departure from the spirit and scope of this invention to form the arched shaped members 6 particularly when they are made from a metal plate 5 by milling the marginal portion of this plate 5 and subsequently drilling this portion longitudinally.
In operation, the knit work stitches are first cast directly on the aforesaid loops 7, '7", 7 There is obtained in this manner a first course of stitches, for example a course of plain stitches. Then a plurality of courses are knitted according to conventional practice for obtaining alternate courses of plain stitches and purl stitches. After having knitted for example six courses there is obtained a turned welt by effecting a stitch by stitch cast on step between the next or seventh course and the first course. Thereby in the same Wale said stitches of the first course and the stitches of the seventh course are interlaced and form a turned welt. After having interpolated the stitches of the first course with those of the sixth course, the woolen yarn 7 is simply removed by pulling the same out from the row of stitches, since it is not interlocked therewith. FIGURE 2 shows the knit work carried in the device;
it will be seen that this knit Work incorporates a turned welt 8 formed by taking in the first row of stitches.
To avoid any confusion the auxiliary woolen yarn 7 may have a color differing from the knit. work color or colors.
Of course, any desired number of teeth may be provided on the plate 5, this number depending essentially on the length of the knit work to be obtained.
FIGURE 3 illustrates a further form of embodiment of the device which consists essentially of a plate 8 carrying along one edge a plurality of arched shaped members 9 of the same dimensions, separated from one another by regular intervals, each arched shaped member 9 having formed in the zone which is in close vicinity with the plate 8 an aperture It) or the like. All these apertures 10 are on the same side of the device.
This device is used exactly as the device described hereinabove with reference to FIGURES 1 and 2. In this regard a woolen yarn or string or lace 11 is passed through the arched shaped members 9, the yarn or lace being caused to project between adjacent arched shaped members to form successive loops 11, 11", 11" these loops being subsequently used for casting on the first course of the knit work as explained hereinabove. When the turned welt of the knit work is formed, the loops 11', 11", 11 are simply removed from the arched shaped members 9 through the aperture 10. Then the woolen yarn 11 is simply removed by pulling the same out from the row of stitches since it is only removably attached with the knit work.
In order to prevent their deformation, the arched shaped members 9 have preferably the shape of a circular arch, this form having the advantage of decreasing the bending of said arched shaped members.
It may be pointed out that the device of this invention may be used with domestic knitting machines.
Although the present invention has been described in conjunction with preferred embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing w from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A hand knitting device comprising a plate member having at least one rectilinear edge, a plurality of arch shaped members located along said edge and integral with said plate, said arch shaped members being separated from each other by mutual gaps, and means supported from said arch members and adapted for receiving stitches from an independent knitted course for supporting such stitches, said means being constituted of a length of flexible material extending through said arch shaped members and projecting from said gaps in the form of spaced loops and adapted for subsequent removal from said stitches.
2. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein each one of said arch shaped members is provided with an aperture for allowing said material to be separated from the plate member.
3. A device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said aperture in each arch shaped member is formed therein in close vicinity with said plate member.
