SALOMON STERN of 68 Wood Street Cheapside London, Manufacturer of Woollen
Goods, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The peculiarity of this garment is: It is machine-knitted, thereby claiming
superiority over a hand-knitted garment in regularity of make & pattern.
My Invention consist of a jersey entirely knitted by a machine, constructed for
that purpose, which works or knits in together the ends, and openings; such as the
bottom, arm holes, neck and body portion of the jersey, the trunk or body portion of
the jersey are entirely knitted in one, without any seems, by a
"Jackard knitting
machine, prepared for this purpose, leaving no ends to be sewed over in seems; the
arms are each knitted seperately and sewed to the body or trunk portion, at the arm
holes, left or constructed in forming the trunk or body portion, attached at the
shoulders of the jersey.
A jersey formed according to my invention has great advantages over those knitted
by hand as the hand knitted jersey is made in seperate pieces; the body, neck,
collar, cuffs, arms etc., which require to be sewed together, and seems made at the
openings.

I, SALOMON STERN, Manufacturer of Woollen Goods, of 68 Wood Street,
Cheapside, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The peculiarity of this garment is; it is machine knitted, thereby claiming
superiority over a hand knitted garment in regularity of make and pattern. My
Invention consist of jersey entirely knitted by a machine, constructed for that
purpose, which works or knits in together the ends and openings; such as the
bottom, arm holes, neck and body portion of the jersey, leaving no fag ends. The
trunk or body portion of the jersey are entirely knitted in two pieces and sewed
together to form one piece without any seems, by a "Jackard "knitting machine,
prepared for this purpose, leaving no ends to be sewed over in seems; the arms are
each knitted seperately and sewed to the body or trunk portion at the arm holes, left
or constructed in forming the trunk or body portion and attached, at the shoulders of
the jersey.
A jersey formed according to my invention has great advantages over those knitted
by hand and those that are woven; as the hand knitted jersey is made in seperate
pieces, viz-the body, neck, collar, cuffs, arms etc., which require to be sewed
together, and seems made at the openings. I prefer to knit by a machine, the whole
of the trunk or body portion in two pieces, with the neck opening at the top, and the
waist or lower portion of the opening at the bottom, with the arm holes formed in
their proper positions, entirely in two pieces and sewed together down the sides and
at the shoulders, I then fix the arms to the arm holes, by being sewed or otherwise
fixed or attached, to properly form the jersey, the arms and cuffs are knitted each in
one piece and sewed together to form the arms, and attached to the arm holes as
hereinbefore described.
In order that my Invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to letters marked
thereon.
Figure I, represents the trunk or body portion E, of the jersey, with the neck or
collar B, and arm holes A, A, and the bottom or waist opening F, the whole being
knitted by the machine in two pieces and sewed together down the sides Q, Q, and on
the shoulders Q, Q, and a part of the neck to complete the body portion of the jersey.
Figure II, is one of the arms C, with the cuff D, knitted in one piece and sewed
together on the underside of the arms Q. Figure III, is the jersey with the arms C, C,
sewed to the arm holes A, A, thereby forming a complete jersey in four pieces, each
of these pieces being entirely formed in one piece, and then sewed together as herein
before mentioned.
I do not limit myself to the particular formation or shape of the jersey as shown in
the drawings, as they may it is evident be varied without departing from the nature

page_text: of my Invention, provided that they be of such a nature that the jersey is made
in four complete pieces and sewed together.
Like letters refer to like parts in each of the figures.
A, the arm holes. B, the neck or collar. C, the arm. D, the cuff. E, the body
portion or trunk. F, the opening at the waist or bottom of the jersey. Q, where
each portion of the jersey is sewed together.
Having now fully described the nature and object of my Invention, and the
manner in which the same is to be performed, I claim as new and novel the
following
First. The combination of the trunk or body portions E, with the neck or collar B,
the arın holes A, A, and the waist or bottom opening F, knitted by a machine in two
pieces and sewed together Q, Q, Q, Q, Q, Q, and the arms C, C, with the cuffs D, D,
knitted by a machine, each in one piece, and sewed together at the arm holes A, A,
thereby forming a complete jersey in four pieces sewed together, substantially herein
described and according to the accompanying drawings.
Secondly. The combination of the trunk or body E, and the arms C, (, knitted by
a machine in four complete distinct and seperate pieces, without any other sewing of
any description, such as seems, bands, or such like; the machine in knitting these
aforesaid pieces, forms all openings and ends leaving no fag ends, substantially herein
described and according to the accompanying drawings.
Thirdly. The combination of constructing the jersey by a machine, thereby claiming
superiority over a hand or woven knitted jersey, in regularity of make and pattern,
substantially herein described and according to the accompanying drawings.
