Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A two-legged lower-body garment of the class comprising panti-hose, body stockings, leotards, tights, pantaloons, and pants, is made from a single blank of essentially seamless tubular form throughout knitted on a circular knitting machine and comprising two leg portions and an intermediate pant-forming portion.
  • a waist opening is made in the waist portion; toes may be formed by cutting and seaming, or automatically on the knitting machine.
  • At least the intermediate portion and preferably each portion is knitted of stretchable yam which may be stretch yarn or elastomeric yarn. If of stretch yarn, the garment may be unboarded but may be given a relaxing treatment.
  • This invention concerns a two-legged lower-body garment or nether garment of the type comprising an upper knitted part or body portion adapted to fit around the waist and the lower part of the trunk and beneath the crotch of the wearer and a depending pair of legs knitted integrally with the body portion. It is particularly concerned with garments of the class comprising panti-hose, body stockings, leotards, tights, pantaloons having full-length legs, and pants having legs reaching to just above or just below the knee of the wearer.
  • an object of the present invention is a method by which a garment of the type or class specified can be made less expensively.
  • a further object is a method by which it can be made from a single blank of essentially seamless tubular form throughout.
  • a further object is a garment capable of fitting a wide range of human anatomy sizes, and a method of its manufacture.
  • the invention provides a method of making a nether garment of the type specified, and particularly a garment of the class referred to which comprises knitting three integral seamless tubular portions in continuation of one another, viz. a first leg portion, an intermediate portion for eventually forming the pant portion, and a second leg portion, and providing a waist opening in said intermediate portion.
  • the three said portions may be substantially aligned when not in wear.
  • at least the intermediate portion is knitted wholly or in the main of stretchable yarn and this permits it to conform to the lower body of the wearer and permits the legs, in wear, to extend substantially side-by-side.
  • stretchable yarn includes stretch yarn and elastomeric yarn.
  • a stretch yarn is a yarn made from thermoplastic fiber or fibers, usually in continuous filament form, which is capable of a pronounced degree of elongation and a rapid recovery, this property having been conferred on the yarn by it having been subjected to an appropriate combination of deforming, heat setting, and developing treatments.
  • the expression includes crimped yarn, torque yarn, and nontorque yarn. It is preferred to employ stretch yarns having S and Z twist or false twist knitted in an alternating sequence, or a knit-de-knit yarn. Typical examples of suitable elastomeric yarns are sold under the Registered Trade Marks Lycra and Spanzelle and under the designations Glo-Span and Blue C.
  • the waist opening may be formed during the knitting operation, or subsequent thereto.
  • This invention also includes the garmet itself and the onepiece blank therefor.
  • FIG. 1 shows one form of the blank according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows one form of completed garment, of the class referred to, according to the invention
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 are views, looking in directions at right angles to one another, illustrating modifications
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the manufacture of the blanks in continuous string form
  • FIG. 6 shows a modified garment, substantially as worn
  • FIG. 7 illustrates a further modification
  • FIG. 8 illustrates an automatically-closed toe.
  • the blank shown in FIG. 1 consists of three integral and substantially-aligned seamless tubular portions, viz. a leg and foot portion 10, a pant-forming portion 11, and a second leg and foot portion 12.
  • Portion 11 is knitted wholly or in the main of stretch yarn and portions 10 and 12 are preferably but not necessarily knitted wholly or in the main of stretch yarn.
  • the blank is knitted on a circular knitting machine so that it has the same number of wales throughout.
  • the portions 10 and 12 may be shaped slightly by the known process of stiffening, i.e., fashioning", commonly employed in the manufacture of ladies stockings.
  • the pant portion 11 may be knitted of somewhat stouter yarn or yarns than those of which the portions l0, 12 are wholly or in the main knitted, and this results in the portion 11 being of slightly increased diameter.
  • the diameter of portion 11 may be increased by knitting it with slacker (longer) stitches and, specifically it may be knitted with slack courses alternating with less-slack courses. The latter assist in knocking-over the slack courses.
  • portion 11 may be knitted of a yarn having a still-greater capacity for stretch.
  • the portions 10, 12 may themselves incorporate two seamless parts 13, I4 knitted of stretchable yarns of somewhat stouter character.
  • pant portion 11, and parts 13 and 14 may be knitted of continuous filament torque yarns 40 denier and S and Z twist, and the main length of portions 10, 12 knitted of 20 denier S and Z twist yarns so as to have a sheer and translucent appearance.
  • Portion 11, or portions 10 and 12, or all three portions may be knitted in micromesh or a non-run knitted structure.
  • a succession of blanks can be knitted in continuous string form as a continuous tube in which the parts 13, 14 of consecutive blanks are continuous with one another.
  • the tube is eventually separated at regions A into the separate blanks.
  • the cutting and seaming of the toes may be effected at the time of separation, or subsequently.
  • a suitable circular knitting machine has a diameter of over 3 inches and the number of needles is -474. Specifically the machine may be 4% inch diameter and the number of needles 408.
  • a suitable knitting specification is as follows:
  • the diameter and gauge of the machine is chosen in accordance with the size of yarns to be employed and the desired size of the finished garment.
  • each portion 13, I4 is cut and seamed between the points 15, 16 to an appropriate toe shape.
  • the toes of the garment are not necessarily of the shape shown; for example each toe seam may extend in a direction substantially normal to the plane of the paper.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates such a toe in perspective at 13a. It will be seen that the toe is visually distinguished by radiating puckers or pleats.
  • a cut is also made in the portion 1 1 to provide a waist opening of appropriate size and this waist opening is provided with a sewn-on elasticated waist band 17.
  • This last mentioned cut may be made as a slit in the wale-wise direction.
  • a Wale-wise guide line for the cut may be produced during knitting: for example by an appropriate recurrent stitch formation (e.g. a line of tuck stitches) or by preventing one or two needles knitting. Alternatively, an area of the fabric of a suitable shape and size may be cut-out.
  • the cut extends for a given number of courses and not over a given fabric length.
  • two markers may be produced on the portion 11 which markers are spaced apart by a predetermined number of courses so as to indicatethe length to which the cut is to be made.
  • These markers which are conveniently in the form of coursewise bands, are visually distinguishable from the remainder ofportion 11 and may be constituted by a stitch variation or yarn color or shade variation.
  • on the region of each end of the portion 11 there may be a plurality of markers spaced a given number of courses apart.
  • each end of the portion 11 may consist of a band of plain fabric having, at regular course intervals, one or two visuallydistinguishable courses. These may be produced by introducing an additional yarn at, for example, every sixth course.
  • portion may, like portions 10 and 12, be knitted in micro-mesh or run-resist structure.
  • the circumferential location of the waist opening, or the cut therefor may be as required.
  • the waist band 17 is preferably made of two-way stretch fabric and, before sewing-on, has a width of /4 inch to 2 inches. Desirably it has a fixed length before sewing on, which therefore determines the size of the finished waist opening.
  • the garment illustrated in FIG. 2 comprises a body portion lland legs l, 12' (with cut and seamed toes 13', 14) integral therewith and a waist opening with waist band 17.
  • the step of boarding (which is normally applied to stockings knitted of stretch yarns) shall be omitted, although the garments may be boarded if desired.
  • the omission of the step ,of boarding has the advantage that any one garment is'capable of fitting a very wide range of human sizes.
  • the step. of boarding stockings, knitted of stretch yarns, in which they are drawn onto boards or forms and while on them are subjected to heat (in the regions of 248 F for nylon 6 and 257 F for nylon 66) and moisture, sets the stockings to a given size and shape and inhibits the degree of stretch possessed by the stockings.
  • the present garments are preferably subjected, in the greige, to a relaxing treatment effected under the action of heat and moisture which develops the stretch qualities of the yarn and enhances the capacity of the garments for elastic stretch and recovery.
  • This relaxing treatment may be combined with a dyeing treatment.
  • This relaxing treatment may be effected while the garments are limp and untensioned and under conditions such that their elasticity is not reduced and such as not to heat-set the yarn.
  • the temperature employed in this treatment should be less than the temperature at which the yarn has been pre-set and should not be substantially greater than 221 F and may be below 203? F.
  • the garments may be treated in a dyebath the temperature of which is raised in stages to a maximum of l85l94 F.
  • a Smith rotary drum dyer or similar machine may be employed for scouring and dyeing the garments.
  • the garments, in limp and untensioned condition, are placed in mesh nets and then placed in equal proportions in each compartment of the drum, the latter having first been filled with cold water and the requisite amount of scouring and dispersing agents having been added.
  • the garments are rotated in this cold bath for 20 minutes.
  • the temperature of the bath is then progressively raised to 1 15 F for over a period of 20 minutes.
  • the garments are then cooled and rinsed while in the drum. They are then removed from the drum, subjected to hydro extraction, removed from the nets and dried (e. g. tray dried) at a suitable temperature, for example 200 F. The garments are then ready for wear. However, if desired the garments may be ironed to enhance their appearance.
  • a non-rotary dyer in which the goods remain stationary and the dye liquor is circulated through them, may be employed.
  • the relaxing treatment' may be applied in an autoclave at super-atmospheric pressure, the garments being in untensioned condition.
  • the garments may be placed on flat metal supports of such a size and shape as not to distend the garments, and while thereon are dyed in an autoclave at a temperature in the region of 203-22 l F. this temperature being held for a very brief period, say about seconds. This contrasts with the temperature of 2l2-233 F, and the duration of about 1% hours, normally employed in dyeing stockings.
  • the waist slit may be cut and the elastic waistband 17 sewn in place following the relaxing and/or dyeing treatments.
  • each portion 10, 12 may be formed with a heel pouch produced bynarrowing and widening in a manner known in itself, (e.g. during reciprocation).
  • heel pouches may be formed by the introduction of spaced partial courses during rotational knitting.
  • a partial course is a course which does not extend for the full circumference of the tube.
  • each heel area may be reinforced by part-round splicing with a splicing yarn which itself may be a stretch yarn such for example as false twist yarn, each spliced area being suitably shaped.
  • each portion l0, 12 corresponding to the sole of the foot may be reinforced by splicing.
  • the margins 18 whereat the portion 10 and 12 are united to the portion 11, are, for at least a part of their length, diagonal to the wales and courses.
  • a splicing or reinforcing yarn which may be a stretch yarn.
  • this additional yarn produces part-round splicing the arc of which progressively increases until the additional yarn is knitted by all the needles.
  • a Wale-wise band 19 of partround splicing, of a still further stretch yarn, may be provided along part 1 1.
  • this band 19 It is within this band 19 that the waist opening is to be cut. Floats of the added yarn or yarns must be avoided or cutout. Although this band is shown as extending for the full length of portion 11, it can stop short of the ends of this portion.
  • This band 19 can be knit of elastomeric or rubber yarn so as to provide, when cut along its center line, the waist band 17, the cut edges being suitable finished-off and, if necessary, the band being suitable reinforced (e.g. by stitching) at the ends of the cut to prevent the latter spreading.
  • two pouches 18 and 19 are knitted in the portion 11 at the hip regions and extend over the same are of circumference of said portion. They provide additional fabric in these regions which produces some divergence of the leg portions from alignment with portion 11, each pouch being symmetrically disposed with regard to the waistopening cut.
  • These pouches may be produced by narrowing and widening, following any pattern known for heel pouches, during reciprocatory knitting or by the introduction of partial courses during rotary knitting.
  • Each of them may be symmetrical with respect to a central wale, or axis of symmetry, or may be asymmetrical. If they are symmetrical, the line of the waist slit may coincide with, or may be displaced from, the axis of symmetry.
  • portion 1 1 may be shaped by the introduction of spaced partial courses during circular knitting, thereby to ensure a greater length of fabric along the top of portion 1 1 as illustrated by the area 11a in FIG. 7.
  • every third course may be a part-circular course knitted on some only of the needles, the intervening two courses being circular courses knitted on the full circle of needles.
  • the waist cut may be made along the axis of symmetry of area lla or along a line offset from the axis of symmetry.
  • a progressively-increasing number of the feeds may be controlled to produce partial courses of the same, or of progressively-changing length, the reverse procedure being adopted after passing the medial point.
  • an eight-feeder machine i.e.
  • portion 11 is commenced at all feeders; at a given stage one or more of these feeders are caused to produce partial courses while the remainder produce circular knitting and at a further stage one or more of these remaining feeders is caused to produce partial courses while the feeder or feeders still remaining produce circular knitting; this sequence is then reversed.
  • the partial courses produced at one stage may have the same, or a different, circumferential length as the partial courses produced at the next stage.
  • some of the feeders continue to knit circular courses and the other feeders change to knitting partial courses of differing lengths.
  • two feeders continue to knit circular courses, two feeders knit partial courses of one length, two feeders knit partial courses of another length, and the remaining two feeders knit partial courses of a third length.
  • circular knitting can be commenced on a proportion of the feeders, the other feeders being introduced at a given stage, or progressively, to produce partial courses of differing lengths.
