KNITTEDFABRIC AND METHOD OF KNITTING SAME.
. Specification of Letters latent.
Patented Mar. 16, 1920.
Application filed August 17, 1918. Serial No. 250,363.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MAX 0. MILLER, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at Cumberland Hill,- in the county of Gumberland and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful .Improvements in Knitted Fabrics and Methods of Knitting Same; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of'the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to knitted fabrics and the method of knitting the same.
The dbject of the invention is to provide a noveland improved antirun-back course or courses in the body of a plain knitted fabric, as, for instance, in the leg of a stocking, which will effectively prevent a line of stitches from raveling or running beyond such course in case of the breaking, cuttingor wearing away of stitches in the fabric, and which will not weaken or materially affect the appearance or elasticity of the fabric.
To this end an extra yarn is knit into thefabric with the body yarn for one'or several succeeding courses in such manner that the extra yarn will arrest the running of the stitches of the body fabric. The body yarnis knit in the usual way upon all the needles so that the presence of the course or courses of extra yarn forming the anti-run-back band strengthens rather than weakens the fabric. The anti-runback yarn may be interknit in the body of the fabric upon a series of recurring needles distributed among the series upon which the body fabric is knit and is preferably knit upon alternate needles. If knit upon a less number of needles it should be knit in with the body yarn in several courses and the distribution of the series should vary in the courses.
The invention will be understood from an inspection of the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description of the fabric and method illustratedtherein.
In the drawings, Figured is a diagrammatic View showing a fragment of a knitted web which embodies the invention in the preferred form; and Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the manner in which the running. back or laddering of the stitches is arrested.
In producing the fabric illustrated a such .succeeding courses with the main yarn to band in the plain* plain web is the usualmanner by drawmg courses of stitches on all the needles which are being used, as, for in- .stance, on all the needles of a circular knit ting machine such as is commonly used in knlttlng ladies seamless stockings. When the point 1n the knitting is reached at which .an anti-run-back course or courses is to be formed, as, for instance, when a, point near .the top of the leg is reached, an extra yarn such as indicated at 2 is fed to alternate needles only and is knit into the fabric with the body yarn by these needles while the body .yarn 4 is knit on all the needles in the regular way. The extra yarn may be fed to alternate needles for one or for several courses and at any points where it is desirable to provide means for arresting the running or laddering of the stitches due to theparting of the body yarn at a point beyond means. In case of such parting of the body yarn the stitches will run or ladder in the direction in which the fabric is lmit until such running is arrested by-the extra anti-run-back yarn as indicated in Fig. 2. The extra yarn knit in with the body yarn on. alternate needles only thus prevents or arrests the running back of the stitches without the weakening of the fabric incident to knitting a course of tuck-stitches in the body of the fabric for this purpose. It also avoids breaking- .down of the fabric in case the anti-run-back stitches become broken, since in such case the body yarn re- 4 only for one ormore courses.
2. A plain knitted-fabric havlng an extra yarn interlooped with the preceding and form an anti-run back knitted fabric. I I
3. A plain knitted fabric having an extra yarn interlooped with the preceding and succeeding courses with the body yarn in recurring wales distributed among the wales. of the body fabric to form an anti-run-back band in the plain knitted fabric.
courses with the body yarn in alternate wales 4. The method of forming an anti-runback course or courses in a plain knitted fabric which consists in knitting aplain fabric with a body yarn and drawing loops of an 5 extra yarn with the loops of the body yarn in alternate Wales only during the knitting of such course or courses. 7
5. The method of forming an anti-runback course or courses in it plain knitted labrle which consists in knitting a plain fabric with a body yarn and drawing loops of an extra yarn with the loops of the body yarn in recurring Wales distributed among the Wales of the body fabric dunng the knitting of such course or courses.
