Abstract
Run-free hosiery made of the combination of a loop-shaped mesh, composed of an inter-mesh and a smooth rectilinear mesh, this combination having been achieved by knitting the mesh chain from two threads, one made of any other existing threads for weaving and one of elasthane, in one operation, creating a double-loop, with the specific function of the elasthane which tends to draw near the loops of the smooth mesh, thereby blocking the continuation of the run.
Claims1
Run-free hosiery comprising:
- a knit mesh of looped threads that include an elasthane thread and a second thread that is not elasthane,
- the knit mesh having a first course of the second thread, a second course having two threads together acting as a single thread, one of the two threads being the elasthane thread, a third course of the second thread, and a fourth course having two threads together acting as a single thread, one of the two threads being the elasthane thread, and
- the second course being knit into the first and third courses at every loop and the fourth course being knit into the third course at every loop, the third course being further knit into the first course at every other loop.
