Improvements in Knitted Jerseys, Sweaters, and other Knitted
Articles.
We THOMAS HILL of the Firm of I. and R. Morley, Fletcher Gate,
Nottingham, Hosiery Manufacturers, and ARTHUR DANIEL WHITEHEAD,
Warehousemau, in the employment of I. and R. Morley, Leicester, Hosiery.
Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
When making jerseys, sweaters, shirts, petticoats, caps, hose and other knitted
garments for gentlemen, ladies and childrens use, on straight bar knitting machines,
having two rows of needles and two or more thread carriers. We make each
knitted article on the two rows of needles in the usual way to produce a one and
one or other ribbed fabric for the length required, then a plain fabric is made on
each row of needles simultaneously for the length required, by throwing one of the
cams out of work on each row of needles thus producing two lengths of plain
fabric.
-
Then the cams thrown out are put to work and a one and one' or other ribbed
fabric is made as before thus producing an open ended slot between the two plain
fabrics.
Or we make a plain or ribbed fabric the length required on a straight bar
knitting machine placing it under the knocking over bits, or push it back on the
stems of the needles so that it will not come into operation, we then make one
course across the width or widths of needles required and put on the hanging bar,
then work the length required. The transferred piece of fabric is then brought
into a working position being knitted in the next course to the portion or portions
held by the hanging bar, a further piece of fabric being made the length required
it is then turned in the same way as making an ordinary welt, thus producing a slot
or slots across the width of the fabric, the rest of the fabric being continued the
length required.
Or a one or more slotted fabric may be made by linking or turning it on a
machine the length required and then linking it to another piece of fabric.
Said slots admit of the insertion of a tie, ribbon, band, cord, belt or other:
article.

Figure 2 shows the inside of the same.
Figure 3 shows the upper part of a sweater having one end of the collar turned

shows the upper part of a sweater as worn.
When making jerseys, sweaters, shirts, petticoats, caps, hose and other knitted
garments for gentlemen, ladies and childrens use, on straight bar knitting machines,
having two rows of needles and two or more thread carriers. We make each
knitted article on the two rows of needles operating in conjunction in the usual
way to produce a one and one or other ribbed fabric 1, shown at Figures 1 and 2,
for the length required. Then one cam to each row of needles is thrown out.
so as not to operate upon the Deedles, and an additional, thread carrier is put to
work, and a separate piece of plain fabric 2 made on each row of needles
simultaneously, for the length required.
The cams previously thrown out are then brought back into work, and a one
and one, or other ribbed fabric 3 is made as before, leaving an open ended slot 4.
between the two pieces of plain fabric.
Or we make a plain or ribbed fabric the length required on a straight bar
knitting machine, if a ribbed fabric it is transferred onto a machine for making
plain fabrics, and either place it under the knocking over bits, or push it back
on the stems of the needles so that it will not come into operation, we then make
one course across the width or widths of needles required and put on the hanging
bar, and work the length required...

The transferred piece of fabric is then brought into a working position, being
knitted in the next,course to the portion or portions held by the hanging bar,
a further piece of fabric being made the length required, it is then turned in
the same way as making an ordinary welt, thus producing a slot or slots across
the width of the fabric, the rest of, the fabric being continued the length required
on the same machine to produce a plain fabric, or transferred onto another machine
to make a ribbed fabric...
Oria one or more slotted fabric may be made by linking or turning it on a
machine the length required and then linking it to another piece of fabric.
When more than one slot is required across a piece of fabric, an extra thread
carrier is employed to make one side of each slot. When more than one slot is.
made in a garment it facilitates the insertion of the tie, ribbon or other article.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
The construction and employment in knitted articles of an open ended slot or
slots 4 where required, substantially as described for the purpose specified and
illustrated in the drawings annexed.
