12 Claims.
This invention relates to knitted fabrics and more particularly to a method and means for producing a footlet or stocking foot portion.
It is an object of thisinvention to provide a knitted article such as a stocking foot, said article having the same number of wales in the foot portion as in the welt portion It is another object of this invention to provide a seamless stocking foot formed by successively knitting a plurality of courses to form a tubular member with each course having the same number of loops therein, then closing one end of the tubular member, after which the tubular member is stretched and set in shape to conform to the foot of the wearer. i
It is another object of this invention to provide a footlet of the class. described having a welt portion and a foot portion in which the tension of the knitted loops gradually diminishes as the knitting progresses from the welt into the foot per-1 tion. By gradually diminishing the tension, the loops will be larger and consequently, the stretching and enlarging or the lower portion of the footlet to conform to the foot of the wearer, can be more easily accomplished.
It is still anotherv object of this'invention to Some of the objects of the invention having stated, other objects will appear as the description proceeds when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved stocking footlehafter it has been knitted and seamed, but prior tovthe same being stretched and; set to conform to the shape of-a wearer's Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view taken along the line 2--2 in Figure 1, showing the upper portion of the stocking iootlet in .a slightly opened position;
Figure 3 is a side elevation of thestocking footlet as it appears when disposed upon the foot of the wearer, said view showing a portion of the wearer's foot in dotted lines; 1
Figure4isatopplanvieworifiigure3;
Figure 5 is a transverse sectional view taken along thelines 5-5in Figures 3 and 4;
Flgure6isaviewotth stockingfootletuit 66' appears after the same has been stretched and set, and then folded into a collapsediposition for Packing, nd shipp Referring' more particularly to the drawing, the numeral I0 broadly denotes an improved stocking footlet, said footlet comprising a welt portion II and a foot portion l2. The bottom of the foot portion is closed by seam line It to I thereby provide a knitted article for encasing the foot of the wearer. It will be noted that the heel of the foot portion l2 may be reinforced as at l5, and that the toe may be reinforced as at I6. A wearer's foot or a suitable form I! is illustrated in dotted lines in Figure 3 in association with a completed footlet.
In the production of a stocking of this type. a circular knitting machine may be employed, however, other types of knitting machines may also be used with good results. The disclosed footlet, however, is particularly adapted to be manufactured on a circular knitting machine, because it is preferablyof a seamless construction. When producing a stocking of this type upon a circular knitting machine, the first course of the welt is begun as at It. This course is then held on half of the needles and a plurality of courses are knitted'on the other needles in a conventional a conventional way of knitting a welt. The knit I ting of the foot portion I2 is then carried out with all of the needl .As, a rule, the welt H is of a tight, close knit which is produced by applying a relatively high tension to the strands of yarn or each course during knitting. When the foot portion is begun, the tension-on the strand or strands of yarn gradually diminishes with each course, sothat additional slack will be presentin the lower foot portion of the stocking footlet. If desired, an additional strand or strands can be placed in what is-to become the heel and toe portions l5 and 16 respectively so as to reinforce these areas.
When the foot portion has been knitted to a dotted line position 2! such as shown in Figure l, the knitted welt and foot portions are removed from the knitting machine. At this time, the welt and foot portions are of a tubular construction having open top and bottom ends. In order to form a stocking footlet from this tubular fabric, it has been found advantageous to sever .the foot portion of the tubular fabric along a after the foot portion has been severed, the collapsed tubular member will appear substantially as shown in bold lines in Figure 1. It is evident 7 that the wales at the heel of the severed footlet are somewhat shorter than the wales at the toe. Actually, the wale lengths of the tubular fabric, after having been cut as shown in Figure 1. gradually increase in length from the heel portion i to the toe portion ii. The severed tubular member is next seamed along the line ll, previously described, to thereby close one end and form a footlet therefrom.
As previously stated, the slack in the loops of the foot portion l2 gradually increases from the welt to the seam line I4, and therefore a greater amount of elasticity and stretch can be obtained inthe bottom of the footlet-than at the top. When this increased elasticity is coupled with the increased length of wales at the toe of the foot portion, a greater amount of space will be available at the toe portion when the footlet is placed upon the foot of the wearer.
The welt and foot portions of the tubular fabric are formed from a plurality of successively knitted courses, with each course having the same number of loops therein. Therefore, the same number of wales will be present throughout the fabric. Attention is called to the fact that each of the wales in the foot portion of the stocking is a continuation of a wale in the welt portion. By gradually decreasing the tension in the yarn as the knitting progresses and by subsequently cutting the foot portion'along a line biased to the wales, it is possible to obtain the desired space to accommodate a wearer's foot and at the same time maintain the same number of wales throughout the footlet. Thus. it is seen that a simplified construction is employed which greatly facilitates the manufacture of an article of this type.
After the footlet has been severed and seamed as shown in Figure 1, it is usually stretched over a suitable heated form which has substantially the same shape as that of the wearer's foot. Then by subjecting the footlet to a steam and heat treatment, the loops of the stretched article are set so that the footlet will more resemble its shape when in. use. Figure 6 shows the shape of the footlet after the same has been stretched over a form and subjected to heat treatment to set the loops. In Figure 6, of course, the footlet is in a collapsed posiflon. that is, the opposed sides thereof are disposed one against the other and in a position normally occupied when the footlet is ready for packing and shim.
