Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to ladies seamless sheer stockings ⁇ and more particularly to stockings which are adapted to completely cover the legs of the wearer and which include support means on the upper ends for encircling the lower trunk portion of the body to maintain the stockings in position.
  • the top of a ladies stocking is normally provided with a turned welt and shadow welt which are adatped to tit around the thigh and above the knee of the wearer and the top of the stocking is supported in this position.
  • the welt portion of the stocking is supported by depending garter fasteners which are attached either to a garter belt that is worn around the waist or to fasteners that are attached to the lower portions of a girdle.
  • This conventional method of supporting stockings by depending garter fasteners has several disadvantages.
  • the garter fasteners are connected to the welt at spaced apart points and thereby impart non-uniform upward pulling forces on the top of the stocking. In some cases, so much strain is placed on the fabric in the areas where the garter fasteners are connected that runs develop.
  • the garter fasteners cause objectionable bulges in the clothing, particaularly when wearing close-fitting outer garments.
  • the top of a stocking of conventional length is not positioned high enough on the thigh to prevent exposure of the weltand shadow welt, when wearing the newer style short skirts and dresses.
  • panty-hose type garments In an attempt to overcome the problems associated wtih conventional ladies stockings, panty-hose type garments have been developed and are becoming increasingly popular.
  • the panty-hose type garment is formed by longitudinally slitting the inner sides of long stocking blanks and sewing the slit edges of apair of blanks together to forni a panty portion with integral stocking legs depending therefrom.
  • Garter fasteners and supporters are not necessary with this panty-hose garment and it may be worn with short skirts and dresses.
  • Typical examples of panty-hose type garments may be found in the U.S. patents to Goodman No. 2,697,925; Isenhour No. 2,790,315; and Rice No. 2,826,760.
  • the conventional panty-hose type garment has certain disadvantages. For example, if one of the stocking legs develops a run, the complete garment must be discarded. Since the panty portion of the garment is formed by connecting the upper portions of a pair of stocking blanks, the panty portion ts the lower trunk portion very tightly and must be stretched to a considerable degree when worn. When the wearer assumes-a sitting position, additional strain is placed on the portion of the garment extending across the buttocks so that the upper rear portion -of the panty is drawn down. This results is slack fabric and uneven stocking support upon the wearer resuming a standing position. Also the panty portion of the panty-hose is normally made of a heavier yarn and when worn over a conventional panty, as is frequently done, the panty portion slips on the under panty fabric and causes wrinkling and doubling.
  • the present invention to provide ladies stockings which are adapted to completely cover the legs of the wearer and which are supported in a uniform manner so that they remain in a smooth and unwrinkled condition.
  • the present stockings also include the advantages, but not the disadvantages, of a panty-hose type garment.
  • the present stockings include hip engaging portions extending upwardly from the outside portions of each stocking.
  • the upper terminal edge of each hip engaging extension is connected to the medial portion of a supporting band which is adapted to encircle the lower portion of the truck and around the hips of the wearer.
  • the support band may be easily separated and connected between the stockings, preferably at the front and rear, and provides the only connection between the stockings on each leg.
  • each stocking is provided with a recess dened by a substantially U-shaped inner edge that extends down along the groin, along one side of the crotch, and up around the buttock,
  • the U-shaped inner edge of each stocking is provided with suitable elastic connected to the supporting band to provide an upwardly supporting force along a caternary line corresponding to the inguinal junction of the leg with the trunk or torso.
  • the stockings are easily separable, should a run develop in one stocking it can be disposed of and replaced with one of another pair.
  • the stockings are reversible and may be worn on either leg by everting the stocking normally worn on one leg.
  • the support band is preferably formed of woven elastic and the elastic at the U-shaped inner edge is preferably in the form of a woven elast-ic tape that is sewn thereto.
  • the elastic tape connected to the inner portion of each stocking and the elastic band adapted to encircle the lower trunk of the wearer are preferably each provided with bifurcated side edges which are secured on opposite sides of the corresponding portions of the stockings. With the elastic tapes and bands secured to the stockings in this manner, they will have the same appearance, regardless of which side of the stocking is turned outwardly.

  • the ladies seamless sheer stockings of the present invention include separate stockings S and S which are each adapted to completely cover the legs of the wearer and are provided at their upper ends with means for encircling the lower trunk portion of the body to support the stockings in this position.
  • the stockings S and S' are identical, except that they are opposite hand, and only the stocking S will be described in detail.
  • the same reference characters, with the prime notation added, are applied to corresponding parts of the other stocking S.
  • the stocking S includes an integrally knit foot 10, leg 11, upper thigh engaging portion 12, and upper hip engaging portion 13. At least the upper portion and preferably the entire stocking is knit of a thermoplastic stretch yarn to provide substantial stretchability.
  • stretch is intended to include all types of monoflament and multiiilament yarns capable of providing the desired stretch and shape characteristics to the stocking and causing it to fit smothly and unwrinkled when supported in accordance with this invention.
  • the stocking may be knit of lively torque yarn which has been twisted to provide suflicient torque to cause distortion of the knit stitches. Yarns having torque in opposite directions are usually knit in alternation to balance the overall torque in the stocking.
  • the stocking may also be knit of a non-torque or bicomponent type crimped or curled thermoplastic yarn which does not require alternate knitting.
  • the crimp or curl may be imparted to the yarn by yany one of several known methods and the torque may be balanced so that the stocking may be knit at a single feed.
  • the crimp or curl may be set in the yarn by passing it through a heated stuffer box, passing it over a heated blade, passing it between gear teeth, passing it through an air jet, or by other known means.
  • the stocking may be knit of any type of stitch and on any type of knitting machine. However, it is preferred, for sheerness, that the leg portion 11 and the foot 10 be knit of 15 denier nylon torque yarn forming plain stitches.
  • the heel and toe pockets may be knit by reciprocation with a heavier reinforcing yarn, in the usual manner.
  • "Ille upper thigh engaging portion 12 may be knit of the same yarn as the leg preferably forming a pattern of plain and tuck stitches of the type commonly referred to as micromesh which results in greater fabric width as well as preventing downward runs.
  • the micro-mesh tuck stitch pat tern is continued into the upper ⁇ hip engaging portion 13 where a heavier denier reinforcing yarn is preferably added.
  • the upper hip engaging portion 13 may be knit in substantially the shape as shown in FIGURE 3, by reciprocation of the needle cylinder, it is preferred that the upper end of the stcoking be initially knit as a cornplete tube and then cut away on the inside.
  • the completed stocking blank is shown in position on a shaped boarding form F, after the toe has been closed in the usual manner.
  • the boarding form F is longer than normal to accommodate the longer than normal length of the stocking blankand it should be Wider than normal at its lower end when the stocking is formed of torque yarns.
  • the dotted line 14 indicates the area of the hip engaging portion 13 which will be cut away to provide an inner recess that is defined by a substantially U-shaped inner edge.
  • the stocking may be pre-boarded, dyed and dried on the boarding form in a continuous process.
  • the stocking is then removed and as it is cut along the dotted line 14, an elastic tape 15 is suitably connected thereto, as by suitable stitching indicated at 16 in FIGURE 6.
  • the elastic tape 15 is preferably woven to stretch in a longitudinal direction and may have a decorative scalloped edge.
  • the terminal upper edge of the hip engaging portion 13 is connected to the lower edge of the medial portion of an elastic band member 17 by suitable stitching 18.
  • the stitching 18 also serves to connect opposite ends of the elastic tape 15 to the lower edge of the elastic band 17 (FIGURE 6).
  • the elastic band 17 is preferably woven to stretch in a longitudinal direction with an upper decorative scalloped edge and with spaced apart slots or openings 20 formed therein.
  • Opposite front and rear end portions of the elastic band 17 extend outwardly beyond opposite front and rear edge portions of the hip engaging extension 13 and are adapted to be connected to the corresponding front and rear ends of the elastic band 17 of the stocking S and at the front and rear of the wearer.
  • the ends of the bands 17, 17 When the ends of the bands 17, 17 are connected, they provide a support band encircling the body and thereby supporting the stockings around the lower trunk portion of the body.
  • the connecting means is illustrated as a fastener 22 having enlarged opposite ends which are adapted to it into the openings 20 at the ends of the elastic bands 17, 17', after the free end has been turned and sewn to provide a turned hem thereon.
  • the elastic tape 15 is sewn to the inner edge of the hip engaging portion 13 while it is in stretched condition so that the stocking fabric adjacent thereto is gathered, as illustrated in FIGURE 4, when the stocking is relaxed and not being worn.
  • the medial portion of the elastic band 17 is also stretched as it is sewn to the upper edge of the hip engaging portion 13.
  • the elastic tape 15 When the stocking S is drawn onto the leg, as illustratcd in FIGURES 1 and 2, the elastic tape 15 is stretched so that the U-shaped inner edge of the hip engaging portion 13 extends downwardly from the elastic band 17 and along a line substantially corresponding to the groin or inguinal juncture of the leg with the trunk or torso, along one side of the crotch, and up across the buttock along the dotted line 22 in FIGURE 2.
  • the elastic tape 15 may be initially positioned to pass around the buttock, as shown in solid lines in FIGURE 2 and if it is initially positioned to pass across the buttock (as indicated by the dotted line 22), it will usually move over to pass around the buttock when the wearer assumes a seated position.
  • the elastic tape 15 on the substantially U-shaped inner edge of the hip engaging portion 13 provides an upward pulling force along a substantially catenary line corresponding to the juncture of the leg with the trunk or torso of the wearer and maintains the fabric supported in this position and in an evenly tensioned wrinkle-free manner, regardless of the position of the wearer. It is preferred that the upper terminal edge of the hip engaging portion 13 extend substantially half the distance around the upper leg portion of the stocking so that the supporting force on the stockings is primarily at opposite sides of the wearer.
  • the stockings S, S' are made in pairs and opposite hand to fit the respective left and right legs. However, should one stocking of the pair develop a run, it may be discarded and another stocking from another pair may be substituted therefor. A stocking made to be Worn on one leg may be worn on the other leg by everting the stocking so that the recess and hip engaging portions will reverse positions, relative to the foot of the stocking.
