UTILIZATION OF HOSIERY YMILLA WASTE.
To all whom may concern:
Be it knownthat I, HORACE T. FLEISHER,
Elkins Park, county of Montgomery and .State ofPennsylvanla, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Utilization of Hosiery Mill Waste, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, refer- -ence being had to the accompanying drawin s, which form a part of this specification.
his invention relates to a method of economically and commercially utilizing the looper rounds cut from-hosiery just prior to looping up the toe. Y The average size ofv these rounds orlcut bandsis about three-quarter inches wide by ten inches in circumferenceor about seven per stocking. One of the mills in the cltyl of Philadelphia manufacturers about five hundred thouother textile articles without further treatment of the rounds.
*The* nature of the inventionl can be best 'y explainedwith the aid of the drawings hereto annexed, wherein- Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a half hose as it comes from the knittingmachine.
F .2 is a perspective view of one of the or bands cut from a stocking.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view of a round.
Fig. 4 is a side elevation of a portion of a strand formed from a plurality of rounds.
Fig. 5 isl a plan view of one form of rug made from the strands.
As is welfknown to those familiar with the art, half hose are made ontwo machines. The cus or ribbed tops are made in strings on ribbers, cut to length'and transferred to the needles of a plain circular machine on which the remainder of the leg, the heel, foot and toe are knit, as well as'suflicient fabric, to enable the looper or operator to place the loops of the opened ends on the points of a looping machine to loop or .close the toe. I
In Fig. l of these drawings, the reference character A designates the cud' or ribbed top of a half hose, B`the plain portion of residing at Specication of Letters'Patent. lmggpiggfnigqgd` Aug, 1, 1922 pplication filed March '15, 1921. Serial No. 452,570.
the leg, C the heel, D and F thel looper' round.
Each loop of the top A, in one round along the'llne 2, is placed ona point of 'a transfer ring; thel number of points being equal to the number of loops in each round of knitting or the numberof needles in the machine Lonvwhich the cuff was lmit. The points of th transfer ring are then placed 1n position on thel needles on' the knitting machine on which the stocking is-to be completed, there being an equal number of needles and points, and the loops are transferred from the transfer ring to the needles. The machine is set into motion and the remainder of the leg to the lines 3,'4 and 5 are knit round by round, at which time the machine is doing what is known as circular work. The machine is caused to reciprocate to knit-the heel or gusset C, on some of the needles, between lines 3, 4 and 6. The machine is again caused to rotate to knit the body ofthe foot D between the lines 4, 5 and 6, and 3, '4% and'.- The toe or gusset E between lines3, 4a and 6a is knit in the same vmanner as the heel. yThe looper round F beyond lines 5, 4a and 6 is then knit in the same manner as the portions B and D, and when a suicient length for looping has been knit the stocking is cast olf the machine. The loops along the lines from 4'a to 5 and from 4L to 6a are placed together 'on the points of the looplng machine, and the looper round F, which forms the hand-hold for the operator, is then cut from the stocking, and is in the form of a continuous band F', such as shown in Fig. 2. These bands ane formedof a pluralityof rounds of knitti and are about three-quarter inches wide alii?` in which the wales extend transversely the foot, E the toe' l across the face of the band.
After the rounds are cut .from the ends of the stockings, the ed es-will naturally curl under as shown lin `g. 3, so that the ravwedges of the rounds or bands will be turned over and covered.
I have discovered that if these bands are loopedto each other to form long strands, as shown at in Fig. 4# the strands may be used for making rugs for floor coverinlgs, by crocheting or braiding, as shown in i 5.v The strands are also adapted to be us as wefts for weaving floor coverings similar to ra carpet.
eretofore these rounds have been sold as Waste, but the-use of my invention they 1. The method ofl utilizing loope-r rounds 30 can be utilized in the manufacture of rugs, cut from hosiery comprising looping a se-i etc. AS these rounds are usually cut from rles of these endless rounds to each other stockings knitin the natural color of yarn, form a sstrand of sufcient length for use 1n the strands-may be dyed in any colors and the manufacture of fabric.

Twelve mil-` double strand adapted for use in the manulion bands or rounds will make 'a strand of facture of fabric. A about 1,666,666 yards. Assuming that there 3.
