` H. S. REGAR KNITTED HosIERY Filed June 21, 1922 Patented Feb. 9, 1926.
UNITED STATES HOWARD SEVERIN REGAR,
NORRISTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA.
KNITTED HQSIERY.
Application filed June 21, 1922. Serial No. 570,017.
To (17K :zr/mm. 'if may conca/"n:
Bc it known that I, Ilmvnnn SnvnnN Renan, a. citizen of the United States, residing at Norristown, in the county of Montgomery and State of' Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Inlpmvements in Knitted Hosiery, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to knitted fabrics and more particularly to hosiery tops or legs which include a drop stitched section.
The objects of the invention are to provide a method of manufacturing such' tops by which tops are produced which include a complete plain ribbed stitch `between the drop-stitched portions whereby in placing the tops upon the footer there will be the same number of stitches in the fabric as there are needles in the footer; to provide .described in my a method which will do away with the objectionable holes usually appearing atl the junction of drop stitched portions with the foot; to provide a method which will produce a looped or arched drop stitch of greater elasticity and more attractive than the usual drop stitch; to provide a method by which tuck stitches and welts may be knitted through a complete plain stitch fabric instead of through a drop stitch fabric. thereby 'producing a stronger and more durable fabric, and to produce an article embodying these features. l
My invention consists in the various steps and combinations of steps which may be effected by a-Inultiple bank machine such as Serial No. 570,018, filed June 21, 1922, to produce an article of manufacturehereinafter described and claimed.
The drawing is a fragmentary enlarged view of a knitted fabric produced in yaccord ance with my improved method.
In making hosiery tops on multiple bank machines in series with dro stitch effect produced by omission of nee les, thc entire series, including tucks, welts, clearing courses, etc., is affected by the. lack of the full complement Aot needles, and plain courses cannot be. made. The result is that, compared with tuck stitches, welts, etc., made with a full complement of needles, the tucks, Welts, etc., are imperfector incomplete. As used in this specification, the term complete will denote stitches or courses with the full usual complement of stitches such as wouldl be made by `a. mnltiplebank circular maco-pending application` chille with all the needles doing their work in the usual way, and the term incomplete will denote stitches or courses which are made by a like machine with needles omitted or are otherwise affected to drop a stitch. Then stitches or courses are referred to but not designated as drop, or incomplete, coinplete courses will be' meant. j
Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 indicates complete courses having the drop stitches, 2 incomplete courses having tuck stitches, 3 complete courses having double welt stitches, 4 complete courses having tuck stitches, 5 a loose course, 6 plain rib courses, 7 clearing courses, 8 a plain rib course, 9 complete courses having tuck stitches, 10 complete courses having double welt stitches, llplain rib courses, 12 complete courses liaving double tuck stitches, and 13 an incomplete course having single welt stitches. i
I prefer to produce the drop stitch effect by means of a multiple bank machine having needles so constructed, positioned and guided that they will engage the yarn and pull it into loop form but shed the loop without forming a stitch, and whenth'e end of a drop stitch section of the fabric is reached, these needles will be so positioned and guided that they will act as the other needles do and produce complete .courses. dropped-stitch so produced instead of being straight or unyielding tostretching, is loop or arch shape which makes the fabric more elastic. and yielding whereby it is easier to apply or remove and better conforms to the shape of the leg. vIt also produces a more pleasing effect. l f
By roviding complete plain courses so that t ere will vbe -as many loops in the fabric as there lareneedles in the footer machine, the finished 4sock or stocking is made stronger, 4and objectionable holes between the top and the foot rare eliminated.' l
The specific design disclosed-inthe drawing may be varied indefinitely without de parting from thescope of my inventioin While I have described my invention" as applied to hosiery tops, it may be employed in the manufacture of any knitted fabric in which dropped stitch effects are desired,
Having thus described my invention, .what I claim as new and desire tdw-secure by Letters Patent is Y A method of making tubularfabric consisting in knitting complete courses having lio courses, then a complete plain ribbed course,
then ewelt of two courses, then complete plain'ribbed courses, then a Welt of n slngle eourseand then courses having looped drop 10 stitches.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this s eeieation.
