Definitions

  • ABSTRACT v The knitted edging is adapted to form the trim along the edge of a garment and is folded lengthwise with opposite edge portions straddling the portion of the garment to which it is to be attached.
  • the edging has a non-raveling selvedge alongone edge and the opposite edge portion has a course of stitch loops which will ravel.
  • An adjacent pair of courses of stitch loops is spaced inwardly from the ravel edge and are knit to face in opposite directions providing a hinged fold line to cause the portion of the edging from the ravel edge to the fold line to fold inwardly against the back side of the edging so that it may be easily attached to the garment with a line of stitching.
  • the raveledge is then positioned under one side of the edging material and is protected and hidden from view.
  • This invention relates generally to a knitted edging for garments and the method of forming the same and more particularly to an edging which may be economically attached to the garment, as by a sewing operation.
  • the knitte edging may be economically attached to a garment by an operator having very little prior training and in a simple manner, as by sewing, cementing or fusing.
  • the main body of the edging may be knit with any desired type of stitch loop construction, such as a ribbed or 'plain knit, and a nonravel selvedge is provided along one edge while a ravel edge is provided along the opposite edge.
  • a folded edge portion is provided adjacent the ravel edge by knitted an adjacent pair of courses with the stitch loops of one course facing in one direction and the stitch loops of the adjacent course facing in the opposite direction .to produce a natural fold or hinge line.
  • the folded edge portion of the fabric extending from the fold line to the ravel edge will easily and naturally fold to theback side of the fabric.
  • the edging is then folded lengthwise so that opposite edge portions straddle the edges of the garment to which the edging is to be attached with the ravel edge folded upwardly and under the edging so that it may be easily attached to the garment by a simple sewing operation.
  • the edging of the present invention thus provides a considerable savings of time, when compared with the conve'ntional looping of the edging material to the garment.
  • the courses of stitch loops forming the folded over portion of the edging and extending from the fold line to-the ravel edge are knit of a yarn of lower denier then the yarn of which the remainder of the edging is knit so that the portion of the edging having the folded under portion is not substantially thicker than the edge portion having the selvedge edge.
  • the edging material may be knit of the desired width and on a two-bed knitting machine with any desired stitch loop pattern construction in the main body portion and successive knitted edgings may be knit and joined together during the knitting process for easy separation and subsequent attachment to the garment.
  • FIG. I is a fragmentary elevational view of a portion of the garment. illustrating the knitted edging of the present invention attached thereto as by a sewing operation and with a portion of the edging being unfolded to illustrate the manner in which the ravel edge portion folds back under and against the back side of the edg-
  • FIG. 2 is a somewhat schematical vertical sectional view through the edging and a portion of the garment,
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmentary elevational view of a plurality of the knitted edgings and illustrating the manner in which they are joined together by separating courses during the knitting operation;
  • FIG. 4 is a greatly enlarged fragmentary elevational view of that portion of an edging enclosed in the rectangle 4 in FIG. 3.
  • the knitted edging includes a face side F and a back side B and is formed of successive courses of weft knit stitch loops. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the knitted edging is adapted to be folded lengthwise with the face side F outwardly and the folded edging straddling the edge portions of the garment G to which it is to be attached.
  • the edging includes a non-raveling selvedge or makeup 10 along one edge.
  • the non-raveling selvedge or make-up is formed in the usual manner at the beginning of the knitting of the strip of knitted edging.
  • the other edge comprises a course of stitch loops 11 which will ravel and this-course is the terminal course knit in the knitted edging.
  • the course of stitch loops which will ravel, along the other edge 11, is of the type illustrated at the bottom of FIG. 4 as course C-7.
  • An adjacent pair of courses of stitch loops such as courses C-4 and C-5 of FIG. 4, is spaced inwardly the desired distance from the ravel edge 11 with the stitch loops of the first course C-4 being formed to the face side F of the edging and the stitch loops of the second of the pair of courses C-S being formed to the back side B of the edging so that the stitch loops of these two adjacent courses are joined along a fold or hinge line indi cated by the dash-dot line H in FIG. -4'.
  • These two courses of stitch loops facing in opposite directions cause the portion of the edging from this hinge line H to the ravel edge 11 to fold under and against the back side of the edging to provide a folded edge portion, as indicated in FIG. 2.
  • the knitted edging of the presentinvention has i a non-raveling selvedge along one'edge l0 and the ravel edge 11 folds under against the back side of the fabric so that when the edging is folded lengthwise, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 and suitably attached, as by the row' of stitching 12, to the garment edge G, the ravel edge 11 is maintained up inside of the edging material and will not ravel.
  • This edging may thus be attached by a simple sewing operation and by an operator having very little prior training.
  • the attached edging has substantially the same appearance as an edging attached by the prior looping method but does not require the time consuming placement of the loops on the points of a looper.
  • the successive edges are knit from top to bottom of FIG. 3 and thek'njitting begins with the formation of a nonraveling selvedge course or make-up edge 10, which is formed in a conventional and well-known manner.
  • the main body of the edging as illustrated in FIGS. 3' and 4, is knit of a 2 X 2 rib pattern with wales W-l, W-2 and W-S, MS of courses C-1, C-2 and C-3 being knit on needles on the front bed while wales W-3 and W-4 of these courses are knit on needles in the back bed.
  • courses C-6 and G7 are knit on the needles of the frontneedle bed so that these stitch loops face forwardly.
  • any desired number of courses may be knit to form the folded edge portion.
  • a pair of separator courses, indicated at 14 in FIG; 3 is then knit of any desired type of yarn, which may be soluble yarn.
  • a separator panel 15 may then be knitof any suitable yarn and is adapted to be discarded when the edgings are separated.
  • a loose drawn course 16 is then formed to connect the separator panel l5 and thenon-ravel selvedge ormake-up edge l0-of the next successive edging to be knit.
  • the stitch loops in the courses from the'hinge line H to the ravel edge 11 of the fabric be knit of a yarn of lower denier than the yarn of which the remainder of the edging is knit so that the folded-edge portion of the edging will not add substantially to the thickness of the material when the edging-is folded lengthwise, as indicated in FIG. I, and attached to the. garment edge by the line of stitching 12.
  • the thickness of the folded edge portion maybe reduced by knitting a lesser number of wales in the courses forming the folded edge portion than the number of wales knit in the main body of the edging. This may be accomplished in a well-known manner, by transferring the loops in spaced wales from possible to attach the edging to the garment G by ce menting, fusing or the like. In any event, the naturally inwardly folded edge portion and ravel edge 11 will be positioned under one side of the edging and will be hidden from view and protected so that it may not ravel.
  • a knitted edging including a face side and a back side and being adapted to form the trim along the edge of a garment, said edging comprising a strip of weft knit material formed of successive courses of stitch loops and being adapted to be folded lengthwise with the face sideoutwardly and the folded strip straddling the edge of the portion of the garment to which it is to be attached, saidv edging including t a a non-raveling selvedge along one edge,
  • the other edge comprising a course of stitch loops which will ravel
  • l v c an adjacent pair of courses of stitch loops spaced inwardly from said other edge
  • the'stitch loops of the first of said pair of courses being'formed to the face side of said edging
  • the stitch loops of the second of said pair of courses being formed to the back side of said edging to cause the portion of said edging from said other edge to the juncture of said adjacent pair of courses to fold under and against said back side of said edging so that said course of stitch loops which will ravel is positioned inside of the folded edging when attached to the garment.
  • a method of knitting an edging having a face side and a back side and being adapted to form the trim along the edge of a garment comprising the steps of v a weft knitting a plurality of successive courses of stitch loops selectively facing the front and backsides of the edging to form the mainbody of the edging, b knitting a single course with all stitch loops that were knit in said successive courses being formed to the face side of, the edging, c knitting the next adjacent course with all stitch loops being formed tothe back side of the edging,
  • courses (c) and (d) are knit of a lower denier yarn than the courses (a).
  • a method according to claim 5 comprising the successive knitting of a plurality of said edgings and including the step of f knitting separating means between said terminal course (e) of each edging and the initial course of the main body portion of the next succeeding edgmg.
  • a method according to claim 6 wherein the knitting of said separating means comprises the steps of g knitting a pair of separator courses
