Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of machine knitting a blank for making up into a knitted garment.
  • the methods normally employed for making garments involve a considerable amount of making up and the object of this invention is to provide a knitted garment and a method of making it which involve con siderably less making up than conventional garments and methods of making them.
  • fully-fashioned knitted garments have generally been made by knitting pieces of the garments separately and subsequently sewing the separate pieces together after removal from the knitting machine.
  • cut-and-sew garments have been made by cutting out pieces of the garments from a length of knitted fabric and then sewing the pieces together.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to reduce or substantially eliminate the number of sewing operations required in making up a garment and to simplify any sewing operation which may still be required in joining parts of the garment together.
  • course is used generally in the knitting art and in this specification to mean a row of loops in the fabric formed in the direction along the needle beds.
  • a wale is a column of loops in successive courses.
  • the amount of work required in making up a garment is reduced because portions of the sleeves are knitted in one piece with the body of the garment and other portions of the sleeves intended to form the tops of the shoulder regions of the garment are knitted in one piece with the sleeves. These shoulder portions may also be knitted so as to join them with the top of the body portion of the garment.
  • the operation of joining the sleeves to the body of the garment is thus entirely-or substantially carried out on the knitting machine.
  • the method can be carried out on a knitting machine having at least one pair of opposed needle beds, means for operating the needles independently of one another and yarn carriers to supply yarn for the production of knitted loops on the needles.
  • a flat bar knitting machine for example, is suitable.
  • a method of machine knitting a garment blank includes knitting a tube having portions constituting portions of sleeves and body of the garment located between the underarm region and the neck of the garment and knitting an extension for each sleeve integral therewith, each extension constituting a shoulder portion of the garment and having edges arranged to be joined to the upper edges of the said single knitted tube.
  • the method may include knitting portions of the body and sleeves extending up to the underarm region as three separate tubes.
  • the extensions of the sleeve can be joined to the said upper edges of the single knitted tube on the knitting machine by a joining, for example a linking, operation subsequent to the knitting or, advantageously, during the knitting of the garment blank.
  • the extensions constituting shoulder regions are knitted on auxiliary needle beds movable longitudinally of a pair of opposed main needle beds.
  • a flat V-bed knitting machine having such auxiliary beds is described, for example, in British Pat. Specification No. 991,943 and in U.S. Pat. Specification No. 3, l 67,938.
  • Each extension can be knitted as a series of Ushaped courses, each end of each of these courses being joined to the end of a wale of the said single knitted tube, advantageously by knitting the end loop of a wale of the single knitted tube through the end loop of a U-shaped course of the extension or vice ver-
  • the term longitudinally of the needle beds is used in this specification to mean a direction along the arrays of needles in the beds. It does not imply that the beds must be straight since the invention can be carried out on circular knitting machines capable of knitting tubes on needles of opposed beds.
  • FIG. 1 is a view of a garment according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 2 to 188 are diagrammatic plans showing various stages in the production of garments by methods according to the invention.
  • the knitted garment shown in FIG. 1 includes three tubes knitted separately on the machine and constituting respectively a tubular body portion A, and tubular sleeve portions B and C.
  • the portions A to C extend to the underarm region D in the garment, their upper edges (that is their edges nearer the neck of the garment) being indicated by the broken lines E, F and G.
  • a portion of the garment knitted as a single tube H constitutes the parts I and J of the sleeves and a part K of the body.
  • the parts I and J of the sleeves are bounded by the broken lines F, R and R and G, S and S, respectively.
  • the part K of the body comprises two flat panels one at the front and one at the back of the garment but these panels are not knitted as separate pieces but as parts of the tube H.
  • the portions I and J of the single tube H have wales L and M extending into sleeve tubes B and C while the panels constituting the part K of the garment have wales N extending into the body tube A.
  • Sleeve extensions O and P are knitted integrally with the other parts of the sleeves and have wales extending into the sleeve portions I and J.
  • the extensions 0 and P are joined to the upper edges of the part K of the body.
  • each of the extensions 0 and P is knitted as a series of U-shaped courses, one end of each course being joined to one of the panels of the part K of the body and the other end of the course to the other panel of the part K.
  • the wales Q of the extensions thus extend at right angles to the wales N of the body part K.
  • the extensions 0 and P constitute upper shoulder regions of the garment and the garment has a saddle shoulder appearance.
  • the broken lines R and S in FIG. 1 mark the divisions between the parts I and J of the single tube H which are the parts of the sleeves, that is have wales extending into the sleeve tubes B and C, and the part K of the single tube comprising the two panels which are portions of the body. If the garment is knitted from the waist to the neck, the inclination of these lines R and S is produced by terminating (as will be described below), during the knitting of the single tube I-I, wales'which extend into the body tube A as well as wales which extend into the sleeve tubes B and C. The angle of inclination of the lines R and S may be altered by altering the number of wales terminated in the sleeves compared with the number of wales terminated in the body.
  • the inclinationof the sleeves is produced by wale introduction instead of wale termination.
  • the sleeve-body interconnection may follow a discontinuous boundary.
  • a discontinuous boundary is shown by the broken line T in FIG. 1.
  • wales are terminated from both the body and the sleeve or from the body only along 'the line T but from the sleeve only along the line T.
  • the number of wales in the front and rear panels of the body part K remains constant whilethe number of wales in the sleeve parts I and J is reduced.
  • the garment shown in FIG. 1 has rib borders U at the waist and cuffs.
  • These borders may comprise mock rib, that is plain knitting constructed in known manner in such a way that some wales are recessed and some are proud giving the appearance of rib knitting.
  • the borders may comprise true rib" knitted on opposed needle beds.
  • the garment will normally be knitted starting at the waist and cuffs and the rib border will be knitted first as separate rib strips on opposed beds of the machine, the strips being transversed after knitting, to needles of one bed. When all the rib strips have been completed and have been arranged opposite one another, tubular knitting will be commenced.
  • the garment shown in FIG. 1 is intended to extend only down to the waist of the wearer, but garments according to the invention can extend lower on the body.
  • Such garments may, for example, be dresses or the legged garments known as cat-suits.
  • the legs of such a garment may be knitted in one piece with the upper part of the garment.
  • a tube joining operation may be used in which two tubes, separately knitted, are located adjacent one another and then knitting is continued in the form of a single tube which joins the separately knitted tubes together.
  • the leg tubes may be arranged so that they are inclined to one another by termination or introduction of wales in the single tube joining the two leg tubes.
  • FIGS. 2 to l l The knitting of the garment shown in FIG. 1 is illustrated in FIGS. 2 to l l.
  • the knitting operation is shown carried out on a completely conventional flat V-bed knitting machine and the garment is knitted in the direction from the waist and cuffs towards the neck.
  • Rib or mock rib borders for the waist and cuffs are first knitted.
  • the borders may be knitted in the form of tubes and tubular knitting is thereafter continued to form the sleeve and body tubes.
  • each border is knitted in the form of two rib strips knitted one after the other.
  • Each strip is knitted on opposed needle beds and the loops of the strip are eventually transferred to one needle bed so that the rib strips for each cuff or waist are located opposite one another on separate needle beds ready for tubular knitting of the body or the corresponding sleeve to begin.
  • the free edges of the rib borders are joined together, for example, by seaming.
  • a tube with an opening in part of its length is produced, and this could be used for a body portion of a jersey with a from opening at the neck. If the reversed traverses are progressively reduced, a V- neck style will result.
  • a tubular portion or a portion knitted as a tube we include, where appropriate, a. complete tube, a tube open throughout its length and a tube with a longitudinal opening.
  • the sleeve tubes are widened by needle introduction at appropriate courses according to the shape and size required.
  • Needle introduction is effected in a conventional manner by arranging that needles required to be out of action are pushed to positions where their butts will not enter the knitting cam track of the cam box. When a needle is to be brought into action, it is pushed to a position where its butt will enter the knitting cam track as the cam box traverses the beds, causing the needle to knit.
  • FIG. 3 shows the joining course.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show a method for joining the tubular body and sleeve portions without producing a distinct hole at the underarm.
  • FIG. 4 shows the first course of knitting with a single yarn carrier to join the tubes A, B and C.
  • the cams are set so that knitting is from left to right first along the needles of the rear bed I-carrying the left-hand sleeve tube B, then along the needles of the front bed 2 carrying the body tube A and then along the needles of the rear bed 1 carrying the other sleeve tube C, and on the reverse traverse from right to left along the needles of the front bed 2 carrying the sleeve tubes and the rear bed I carrying the body tube.
  • FIGS. 6 to 9 show various ways in which the number of wales can be reduced to narrow the garment after the joining stage, for shaping the top part during knitting and causing the sleeve portions B, I and C, J to lie at an angle to the body tube A in the finished garment.
  • the particular way in which the narrowing is car ried out will depend upon the shape of the top part required and also upon the style of garment required.
  • FIG. 6 shows at the left-hand side, the transfer of stitches 5 and 6 from the needles which originally formed the inner wales of the sleeve tube B to the needles carrying the stitches 7 and 8 of the adjacent wales which originally formed the outer edge of the body tube A.
  • the stitches 9 located outwardly of the stitches 5 and 6 are then transferred inwardly, each by one needle giving the situation illustrated at the left-hand side of FIG. 7.

  • FIG. 9 shows the result of these transfers.
  • Narrowing of the top part of the garment may be carried out by terminating some sleeve wales and some body wales.
  • the frequency of wale termination and the choice of wales for termination determines the style line at the sleeve-body joins and the angle of inclination of the sleeves to the body.
  • the style lines R and S in FIG. 1 are produced by terminating wales alternately from body and sleeve whereas the style line T is produced by terminating more body wales than sleeve wales and the style line T" is produced as mentioned above, by terminating only sleeve wales and allowing the number of body wales to remain constant.
  • the next reciprocation of the yarn carrier 33 takes place in the opposite direction to that shown in FIG. 11 to form the next U-shaped course.
  • the stitches 28 are pulled through the innermost loops of the new U-shaped course together with the innermost loops 27 of the previous U-shaped course 34.

  • a machine for carrying out the present procedure may be fitted with a presser foot (that is a hold down element) such as is described in British Pat. Specification No. 867678, in place of roller take down.
  • The-auxiliary beds of the machine are used, as will be explained below, to carry stitches of the sleeves of the garment blank and must contain enough needles to hold 'the stitches of the longest course of a sleeve.
  • the garment blank of FIG. 1 In knitting the garment blank of FIG. 1, by the method illustrated in FIGS. 12 to 188, the garment is knitted in the direction from the waist and cufis towards the neck. Rib or mock rib borders for the waist and cuffs are first knitted in the manner described above with reference to the method of FIGS. 2 to 11 but in the present method, the borders for the sleeves of the garment blank are knitted on auxiliary needle beds 102 and 103, and the borders at the waist of the body are knitted on the main needle beds 101.
  • the sleeve tubes are widened by needle introduction at appropriate courses according to the shape and size required.
  • the knitting of the separate tubes A, B and C has been completed and the pairs of auxiliary beds 102 and 103 have been moved inwardly in order to place the tubes adjacent one another,

  • FIG. 13A shows the pairs of aux- "iliary beds already located in the positions they are required to occupy immediately before the knitting of the single tube H (FIG. 1) is begun. In this view, tubular knitting of the sleeves and body has been commenced.
  • FIG. 133 shows the situation when each of the tubes A to C has been widened as before by the introduction of further needles on each bed, at which stagethe innermost stitches of the sleeve portions B and C are spaced only one needle pitch from the outermost stitches of the body portion 12, as is the case in FIG. 2.
  • the last stage of widening in FIGS. 13A and 13B cannot be performed with simultaneous knitting of the body and sleeve tubes using a normal yarn carrier. Instead, the last stage of widening is performed first, either on the sleeve tubes or on the body tube, then the needles carrying the sleeve tubes or the body tube are taken out of action and knitting is continued on the remaining tube or tubes to effect the last stage of widening thereof and thereby bring the nearest stitches of the body and sleeve tubes adjacent one another.

  • this method when the tubes A to C are arranged adjacent to each other, their end stitches are overlapped and transferred so that the four stitches at the adjacent edges of a sleeve tube and the body tube are carried on two needles, on either the main or the auxiliary beds.
  • On the left-hand side of FIGS. 14A to 14D is shown the transfer of sleeve tube stitches to the needles of the first beds 101 carrying the body tube stitches, and on the right-hand side is shown the transfer of body tube stitches to the needles of the auxiliary beds 103 carrying sleeve tube stitches.

  • the method by which the transfer is carried out depends upon the facilities available on the machine being used. Various known methods available have already been described.
  • FIG. 14 shows the first course of knitting after the transfer, with one yarn carrier traversing all the needles which carry stitches, and it will be seen that not only are the three tubular portions joined into a single tubular portion H to form the top part of the garment but also there has been a reduction in the number of wales which originally formed the sleeve tube B and of the wales which originally formed the body tube A, wales on the right-hand side of the tube A being eliminated.
  • FIGS. 15 and 16 show how this can be done using auxiliary beds 102 and 103. Shaping the top part H in the manner shown causes the sleeve portions B, I and C, J to lie at an angle to the body tube A in the finished garment (FIG. 1). The particular way in which the narrowing is carried out will depend upon the shape of the top part required and also upon the style of garment required.
  • the wales are reduced by one in each course on the front and back at each side of the garment, and the auxiliary beds 102 and 103 are moved inwardly by one needle-pitch before the next course of knitting.

Shaping the top part H in the manner shown causes the sleeve portions B, I and C, J to lie at an angle to the body tube A in the finished garment (FIG. 1). The particular way in which the narrowing is carried out will depend upon the shape of the top part required and also upon the style of garment required.
  • 15A shows in view (a) at the left-hand side, the way in which stitches can be transferred from the needles which originally formed the inner wale of the sleeve tube B to the needles carrying the stitches of the adjacentwales which originally formed the outer edge of the body tube A.

  • the garment is repeatedly narrowed in this manner, again the number of body wales remains constant but in this case the sleeve wales are successively reduced and a style line is produced parallel with the outermost of the wales forming the adjacent part of the body as is the case with the style line T" in FIG. 1. Again, this narrowing causes the sleeve to lie at an angle to the body in the finished garment.
  • FIGS. 16A and 16B illustrates shaping in which needles which originally formed the body wales are taken out of action while those which originally formed the sleeve tubes B and C continue knitting.
  • On the lefthand side of view (a) is shown the transfer of loops from the outermost needles which originally formed the body tube A to the needles of the beds 102 carrying the innermost wales which originally-formed the sleeve tube B.
