Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of making stockings in a single operation on a flat knitting machine as well as to stockings thus manufactured.
- the heel portions of stockings manufactured in a single operation were made either with discontinued rows of loops, i. e. with the loops of the instep placed in suspense, or with continued rows of loops, that is to say, simultaneously in continuous rows of loops with the instep connecting them.
- the object of the present invention is to avoid these disadvantages.
- the rows of loops which lie in the range of the enlargement of the heel following the rows of loops of the leg part continuously run over the whole widthof the stocking to a point in the vicinity of the ankle, then a gore is worked in the lower part of the heel while the instep loops are placedin suspense, whereupon rows of loops ⁇ follow which run over the whole Width of the foot.
- the beginning of the heel ⁇ new loops are formed in the range of the continuous rows of loops which run over the -whole width of the stocking and which in the finished' stocking end infront of the row of loops extending about above the ankle.
- Such loops may be formed by casting on, by widening of selvedge loops adapted to be looped, by loops extending over two needles or the like.
- the instep loops remain on their needles and in the formation of the rows of loops of the heel ,parts the number of the working needles on the inner side of the heel parts is gradually reduced while the loops on the needles of the heel parts to be cut out remain on these needles.
- 'Ihis may be obtained by altering the course of the thread guide and by using a correspondingly working press or the like. During the time the number of the working needles on the inner side of the heel parts is reduced, loops of the heel parts are simultaneously narrowed for the purpose of obtaining the July 19, 1932 heel narrowing.
- the connecting loops formed on these needles may be made in any manner and may, for instance, be selvedge loops or split loops interconnected with the loop heads formed on the needles placed in suspense.
- the right-angled finish of the heel in the manner of apocket heel may more easily be obtained which on at knitting machines is hitherto only possible by transferring or widening of the heel portions.
- the connecting line between the heel and the sole which extends about vertically vto the sole is produced already during the heel rounding and the pocket heel line running at a right angle to the above mentioned connecting line may be made without diijculty, so that then the usual instep narrowing may be started with.
- the French narrowing line running obliquely to both these lines may beyobtained.
- the essential feature of the stocking according to the invention and the process for obtaining .same is that in the upper part of the heel in front of the row of loops, extending in the finished stocking about above the ankle, mainly continuous rows of loops are formed, whereupon, after the formation of these rows of loops, the loops -of the heel are made while at the same time the instep loops are placed in suspense.
- the nature of the invention is not altered, if, for the purpose of obtaining a special shape, some rows of loops are formed in the heel part only, i.
- Fig. l shows a side view of the heel portion of a stocking having a pocket heel and illustrates the course of the wales.
- Fig. 2 is a similar diagrammatic view of the heel portion of a stocking with French narrowing in the heel.
- Fig. 3 is a view showing the position of the loops of a portion of a stocking having a pocket heel andfltted to a humans foot.
- Fig. 4 illustrates the formation of the loops of some courses.
- the stocking is made in known manner up to the line af-a' with or without of the high heel splicing V. From the line a-a to the line b-c-b' the enlargement of the heel is made with continuous rows)of loops.
- Fig. 2 The stocking according to Fig. 2 is made about in the same manner as that shown in Fig. l. During narrowing in the lower parts of the heel, however, the tickler, after having narrowed the corresponding number of loops for two needles, is returned each time for one needle, before it again narrows for two needles. In this manner the socalled French narrowing ,f-f results.
- Fig. 3 illustrates the position of loops of a stocking according to Fig. 1. For the sake of clearness a great gauge has been assumed. ,In practice, of course. the number of loops is much greater.
- the heel portions in the rows of loops I4- 20 of the form of heel in question are simultaneously narrowed, whereby the narrowing line d-d' results.
- the direction of the connecting line c-c between heel and sole which runs at about a right angle from the angle to the sole is, of course, determined by the succession of the loop changes and the gauge of the fabric respectively.
- the number of loops of the heel parts is altered in each row.
- the number of loops between c-b' and c-c' is preferably altered in each second row of loops.
- Fig. 4 illustrates the method of loop formation lof single rows of a right-hand heel part.
- Row A would correspond to row I of the stocking part of Fig. 3.
- row B which corresponds tor row 9 of Fig. 3 the enlargement of the heel' is completed.
- the number of loops of the heel parts is reduced to the needle 50 inclusive.
- a stocking made in a single operati on a flat knitting machine comprising an enlarged-up- .per heel part extending into the vicinity of the ankle consists of rows of loops continuously running over the whole width of the stocking, a gore comprising narrowed rows of loops in the lower part of the heel following said rst named rows of loops and a. foot portion consisting of rows of loops running over the whole width of the stocking.
- a stocking as clalmed in claim 1 in which a connecting line formed by said gore extends from the heel part to the sole part at about a right angle to the narrowing line resulting from the heel narrowing.
