Abstract
A knitted-fabric part including a basic part knitted with at least one knitted-fabric thread, and at least one extension part attached to the basic part to form a contiguous and intact structure. At least one unravelable connecting thread attaches the basic part to the at least one extension part, such that removal of the at least one unravelable connecting thread separates the basic part from the at least one extension part.
Claims20
A knitted-fabric part, comprising:
- a basic part knitted with at least one knitted-fabric thread;
- at least one extension part attached to the basic part to form a contiguous and intact structure;
- at least one unravelable connecting thread attaching the basic part to the at least one extension part, such that removal of the at least one unravelable connecting thread separates the basic part from the at least one extension part;
- wherein the basic part is terminated at an end which faces the at least one extension part through a knitted cuff defining an anti-fray edge comprising at least a net course and a locking course;
- wherein the locking course comprises at least one left/right course.

A knitted-fabric part, comprising:
- a basic part knitted with at least one knitted-fabric thread and tubular in shape;
- a first extension part having a first end attached to the basic part to form a contiguous and intact structure, the first extension part being knitted with at least one knitted-fabric thread and is tubular in shape;
- a first unravelable connecting thread attaching the basic part to the first extension part, such that removal of the first unravelable connecting thread separates the basic part from the first extension part;
- a second extension part having a first end attached to a second end of the first extension part to form a contiguous and intact structure therewith;
- a second unravelable connecting thread attaching the second extension part to the first extension part, such that removal of the second unravelable connecting thread separates the second extension part from the first extension part;
- wherein the basic part terminates at an end facing the first extension part and comprising a knitted cuff defining an anti-fray end comprising a net course and a locking course, the locking course comprising at least one left/right course.
