Abstract
A seamless compression article is knitted on a flatbed knitting machine having a front needle bed and a rear needle bed opposite thereto. The compression article includes a base structure of at least one weft thread, at least one elastic warp thread inserted or knitted therein, and at least one tubular or pocket-like receptacle extending along a longitudinal direction for at least one finger or at least one toe of a wearer of the compression article and can be placed on a body extremity of the wearer extending in the longitudinal direction. The receptacle includes a number of rib-like elevations, which run substantially parallel to each other and along the longitudinal direction of the corresponding receptacle. Putting on the compression article can thereby be facilitated.
Claims19
A seamless compression article knitted on a flatbed knitting machine having a front needle bed and a rear needle bed opposite thereto, the compression article including a base structure knitted from at least one weft thread and at least one elastic warp thread inserted or knitted therein, and at least one tubular receptacle adapted to incorporate at least one finger or at least one toe of a wearer of the compression article, wherein the at least one receptacle is extending along a longitudinal direction of the at least one finger or at least one toe of the wearer, when the compression article is placed on a body extremity of the wearer and wherein each of the at least one receptacle includes a plurality of elevations which are formed as ribs and run at least substantially parallel to each other and along the longitudinal direction.
A seamless compression article including a base structure knitted from at least one weft thread and at least one elastic warp thread inserted or knitted therein, the compression article is comprising at least one tubular receptacle adapted to incorporate at least one finger or at least one toe of a wearer of the compression article, the at least one receptacle is extending along a longitudinal direction of the at least one finger or at least one toe of the wearer, when the compression article is placed on a body extremity of the wearer, and each of the at least one receptacle includes a plurality of elevations which are formed as ribs and run at least substantially parallel to each other and along the longitudinal direction, wherein, in an edge area of the elevations, the warp thread forms two consecutive tuck loops in a course of the base structure.
A seamless compression article including a base structure knitted from at least one weft thread and at least one elastic warp thread inserted or knitted therein, the compression article is comprising at least one tubular receptacle adapted to incorporate at least one finger or at least one toe of a wearer of the compression article, the at least one receptacle is extending along a longitudinal direction of the at least one finger or at least one toe of the wearer, when the compression article is placed on a body extremity of the wearer, and each of the at least one receptacle includes a plurality of elevations which are formed as ribs and run at least substantially parallel to each other and along the longitudinal direction, wherein the elevations are formed by floats and/or tuck loops of the weft thread.
A seamless compression article including a base structure knitted from at least one weft thread and at least one elastic warp thread inserted or knitted therein, wherein the base structure is formed from a knit knitted on a flatbed knitting machine with a front layer knitted on a front needle bed of the flatbed knitting machine, and a rear layer opposite the front layer and knitted on the rear needle bed of the flatbed knitting machine, and the compression article is comprising at least one tubular receptacle adapted to incorporate at least one finger or at least one toe of a wearer of the compression article, wherein the at least one receptacle is extending along a longitudinal direction of the at least one finger or at least one toe of the wearer, when the compression article is placed on a body extremity of the wearer, and wherein each of the at least one receptacle includes a plurality of elevations which are formed as ribs and run at least substantially parallel to each other and along the longitudinal direction, wherein the front layer and the rear layer each contain the weft thread and the weft thread forms floats or tuck loops to form the elevations and wherein sites at which the weft thread floats or forms tuck loops are staggered in reversed order by at least one stitch in each consecutive course of the base structure.
A seamless compression article including a base structure knitted from at least one weft thread and at least one elastic warp thread inserted or knitted therein and the compression article is comprising an inner and an outer surface and at least one tubular receptacle adapted to incorporate at least one finger or at least one toe of a wearer of the compression article, wherein the at least one receptacle is extending along a longitudinal direction of the at least one finger or at least one toe of the wearer, when the compression article is placed on a body extremity of the wearer, wherein the base structure has a continuous rib pattern over the outer surface and additionally a plurality of elevations in the area of the at least one receptacle, the elevations protruding above the rib pattern of the base structure and running at least substantially parallel to each other and along the longitudinal direction.
