I SAMUEL ROSENBERG, OF MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, ASSIGNOIB, TO RELIABLE KNITTING WORKS, 0F MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, A CORPORATION OF WISCONSIN.
KNITTED CAP AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME.
Application filed November 1, 1920. Serial No. 421,188.
1/ '0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, SAMUEL ROSENBERG, a citizen of the United States, residing at 196 Seventeenth Street, Milwaukee, county of Milwaukee, and State of Wisconsin, ave invented new and useful Improvements in Knitted Caps and Methods of Making the Same, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relatesto improvements in knitted caps and methods of making the same.
Heretoforethe usual practice has been to either knit a flat piece of fabric on what is known as a flat knitting machine and then shape and stitch'it in the form of a cap, or to knit a tubular fabric and gather one end into a wad or knot to form the top of the cap, the other end being suitably finished, or also folded and gathered at the top. By the latter method a thick bunch or wad was formed at the top of the cap, and where yarn of differing colors was used the stripes thus produced extended circularly about the body of the cap.
The object of the present invention is to provide means whereby caps having vertical or longitudinal stripes can 'be produced on a so called round knitting machine, and wadding or launching of the material at the top of the cap largely avoided.
Also to provide means whereby the cost of production of longitudinally or vertically striped caps may be reduced to a minimum considerably below that of producing such caps where so called fiat knitting machines are used. r
In the drawings:
Figure 1 shows a knitted tube as it appears in the initial stage of my improved method.
Figure 2 illustrates the same after the ends have been stitched together with the gathering string in place.
Figure 3 is a side view of the completed cap. 7
Like parts are identified by the same reference characters thruout the several views.
In the practice of my improved method, I first knit a tube A upon a round knitting machine preferably using yarn of difiering or contrasting colors, to produce the-circular stripes B and C as shown in Figurel. in forming the tube, the wales are arranged to run lengthwise of the tube and I drop a few needles, preferably about a dozen, to
produce an unknitted longitudinally extending strip I) in which the threads of yarn extend only along annular lines.
I then insert. a gathering string E along the strip or portion D, fold the tube longitudinally, thus forming a double walled tube of a length equal to the transverse dimensions of the original tube when flattened, and stitch the ends together at F as shown in Figure 2. Then by pulling upon the gathering string E the portion D is drawninwardly to form the center or top of the cap after which the string E is knotted to permanently secure the portion D in gathered position. The stripes in the completed cap will of course extend from top to bottom thereof, and the lower margin of the cap will require no finishing.
The gathered end or top of the cap will be composed of radiating threads or strands of yarn and instead of forming a thick heavy wad or bunch of material as in knitted and gathered caps heretofore made, my improved cap will be but little thicker in the central portion of the top than at the sides, although the thickness will, of course, progressively increase to the exact central point where the loops of radiating threads are drawn together. The unknitted radiating threads at the top of the crown do not produce an objectionable, heavy wad nor cause excessive warmth at the top of the crown such as is occasioned in caps which have the knitted portions gathered and stitched together in accordance with the heretofore prevailing practice. 7
The method above described is therefore not only a cheaper and more expeditious method than that heretofore followed in that I am able to use a round knitting machine instead of a flat knitting machine but the cap produced by my improved method is more serviceable, neater in appearance and more comfortable as an article of wearing apparel than the caps produced in the use of fiat knitting machines. This is particularly true of double walled knitted caps, for so far as I am aware no double walled caps gathered at the top have heretofore been produced in which the top was not uncomfortably warm and heavy.
I claim:
1. The method of making knitted caps consisting in first knitting a tubular fabric, then passing a gathering string thru the median line, stitching the ends of the tube to ether to. form a shorter double walled tu and then drawin up the gathering string at one end of sai double walled tube and securing the same in gathered position.
2. The process of making knitted caps which consists in knitting a tubular fabric havin a longitudinally extending strip. the
threa s of which extend only circumferentially of the tube, foldin' the tubular fabric along a transverse me ian line with said strip disposed at one end of the shorter tubethus' produced stitching the ends of the folded tube together and gathering the threads of said strip to a common center.
3. The method of making knitted caps which consists in knitting a tubular fabric,
folding the tubular fabric about a-transverse median line, securing the ends thereof .together to form a shorter double walled tube, and gathering one end of the tube together.
4. A double walled cap comprising a tube of knitted material forming inner and outer walls, said cap having circumferentially disposed wales, the top wales of the walls being connectedby looped threads, means associated with ,said threads for maintaining them in position extending radially from the apex of the crown.
5. A double walled cap comprising a tube of knitted material forming inner and outer walls, said cap having circumferentially disposed wales, the top wales of the walls being connected, by looped threads, a
looped threads being secured together at the apex-0f the crown, portions of the tube being seamed together along a line extending from the apex of the-crown to the lower end thereof, and vertically extending portions of the crown being composed 0 thread of diflerent color from the thread in other portions to provide bands of different color extending upwardly from the bottom of the} crown and convergingly to said apex.
7 A double walled cap comprising a-tube of knitted material forming inner and outer Walls, said cap having circumferentially disposed wales, the top wales of the walls being connected by looped threads, a gathering string extending through .said looped threads and forming radially projecting strands extending from the apex of the crown, the threads comprising said cap extending from the apex to the lower margin in one walland returning to the apex in the other wall.
