Definitions

  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a knitted swinm suit embodying the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a modified swim suit embodying the invention
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of a brassiere embodying the invention.
  • Figure 4 is a diagrammatic representation of the arrangement of wales employed to form a breast cup in knitting a swimsuit panel
  • Figure 5 is a fragmentary elevational view of narrowing fingers and knitting needles which can be used to make a breast cup such as is indicated in Figure 4.
  • the swimsuit illustrated in Figure 1 may comprise a front panel and a back panel 12 stitched at the sides States Patent and crotch and provided with suitable shoulder straps i4.
  • the front panel 10 can be made on a standard full-fashioning machine of the Reading type such as is illustrated for example in Patent No. 1,978,454, granted October 30, 1934 to G. Gastrich, or of the type shown in Patent No. 2,666,311, granted June 19, 1954, to F. Lambach.
  • Such machines produce Jersey cloth as distinguished from rib fabric which is produced on machines of the Lamb type having two sets of intermeshing needles.
  • the machine employed is a sweater machine, that is, a machine equipped with needles of a size to knit yarn suitable for ladies sweater, swimsuits, or equivalent garments.
  • Such machines include a number of units simultaneously op erated and controlled to knit an equal number of similar panels.
  • Each unit is equipped with enough needles to knit the entire width of either the front panel 10 or the back panel 12 of the largest size of garment which is to be made, such as the swimsuit shown in Figure 1.
  • the front panel can be made in two separate halves which are knitted simultaneously and are mirror images of each other. These halves 2d and 22 are later stitched together as at 24 to form a front panel for a swimsuit as shown in Figure 2. In either case, the formation of the breast cups by the method of knitting is substantially the same.
  • the standard Reading knitting machine is customarily equipped with narrowing fingers consisting of blocks on which are secured a number of narrowing points for transferring the yarn loops from each of a group of consecutive knitting needles to the next adjacent needles.
  • These narrowing fingers operate on the needles which are knitting one or both side margins of a blank for the purpose of narrowing or windening the blank. If the loops on such a group of needles are shifted one needle space in either direction, the loop on the leading needle of the group will be transferred to the next adjacent needle. If the latter already has a loop thereon, it will then have two loops. Thus when the next course is knitted, the two wales represented by the two loops will be merged into one wale.
  • the trailing needle will be denuded, but when the yarn carrier makes a pass for knitting the next course the denuded needle will pick up a new loop, thus starting a new wale. This has the appearance of dividing the original wale into two wales.
  • the panel 10 is symmetrical with respect to its vertical median 'so that a description of the knitting of one half of the panel will serve for the other half which is a mirror image thereof.
  • the knitting starts at the bottom and the panel is suitably fashioned by the narrowing fingers during the knitting of the panel from the bottom up to the waist line.
  • the fine lines indicate the approximate arrangement of the wales in this portion of the garment.
  • the loops in a course extending from A to A are shifted to the left after each course is knitted, so that the wales along the line from A to B divide, a new Wale being formed each time.
  • the loops along the course from A to the selvage of the panel are shifted to the right after each course is knit.
  • the wales along the line from A" to B" divide.
  • Each half-panel 2t 22 has a lower body portion which is Z-dimensional and which extends up from the bottom of the half-panel to the breast cup area thereof which is 3-dimensional. Progressive increases in the numbers of wales below the horizontal centerline of the breast cup and on both sides of the vertical centerline,
  • the breast cups of the brassiere shown in Figure 3 are knitted in the same manner as those of the swimsuit shown in Figure 2.
  • the parts 30' and 32 of the front panel may be separately or integrally knitted.
  • the chest band 34' is preferably stitched to the front panel as at 36, and shoulder straps may be made and attached as desired.
  • the breast cup comprises a narrow medial band of continuous wales of which the innermost wale is the wale 60 and the outermost is 61.
  • the inner group of continuous wales to the left of this band diverges from it at E and rejoins it at H, defining a space which is filled by a series of new wales which branch off to the left successively from the continuous wale 60 and later merge with it in reverse order between G and H.
  • FIG. 5 Some of the apparatus which can be employed to knit the two halves of a front panel for a swimsuit is illustrated in Figure 5.
  • Four narrowing fingers 30, 32, 34 and 36 are mounted respectively on transfer rods 40, 42, 44 and 46.
  • the narrowing fingers carry narrowing points 48 which are directly above some of the knitting needles 50 mounted on the needle bar 52.
  • the rods are slidably mounted in brackets (not shown) which are moved down and up to enable the point 48 to pick up loops from the needles below them or to deposit loops thereon.
  • the outer narrowing fingers 30, 36 are simultaneously shifted in opposite directions so that they move inward (toward each other) or outward (away from each other). In like manner the 5 Div. 21.
  • a Jersey-knitted front panel for a womans swimsuit said panel having a flat Z-dimensional lower body portion and 3-dimensional breast cups and comprising two parts joined by a central vcrticfl seam, each said part having a domed bulge for a breast cup made by knitting only and characterized by the formation of successive new wales along transfer lines which diverge upwardly in the lower portion of the breast cup area, and by the mer ing of successive wales in the upper portion of the breast cup area along transfer lines which converge upwardly.
