1 AARON MELLOR of the firm of Aaron Mellor and Company of Stanford Street
Nottingham do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as follows:-
Heretofore circular knitted ribbed fabrics forming vests, bodices, shirts, and similar
garments, have been made with the bodies in two parts with the selvages or edges
joined at the sides, by stitching, or seaming, such joined selvages or edges frequently
being unsightly and also uncomfortable to the wearer. Instead of which I form each
vest, bodice, shirt or similar garment in one piece without any stitching or seaming.
at the sides, except where sleeves are inserted at the parts cut to form the arm holes
or where trimming is added at the same parts, I am thus enabled to make close and
elastic garments which will fill the bust, body and hips of the wearer perfectly without
gores or narrowings.

I AARON MELLOR of the firm of Aaron Mellor and Company of Stanford Street
Nottingham Hosiery Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
Heretofore circular knitted ribbed fabrics forming vests, bodices, shirts, and similar
garment's, have been made with the bodies in two parts, one to form the front, and the
other the back, with the selvages or edges being joined at the sides of the garment.
by stitching or seaming such joined parts frequently being unsightly and also
uncomfortable to the wearer.
I am
Instead of which I form the body of each vest, bodice, shirt, or similar garment in
one piece from top to bottom as shown at A Figure 1 without any stitching or
seaming at the sides except at the parts cut to form the arm holes as shown at B
where sleeves are inserted, or where trimming is added at the same parts. Figure 1
shows a vest spread out flat after the sleeves have been inserted and the edge of the
neck and bottom of the vest have been turned inwards and stitched or trimmed.
thus enabled to make close and elastic garments which will fit the bust, body and
hips, of the wearer perfectly, without gores or narrowings, which when worn would
assume a shape approximating to that shown at Figure 2 according to the shape of the
wearer and at the same time will not lie in creases at the waist when a corset or belt
is placed over it.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
-
The improved manufacture of circular knitted ribbed fabrics substantially as
described.
