Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a garment. More particularly, the present invention relates to a knit panty having a waistband that is knit as a single layer with a clean edge that is not visible from an outer surface of the knit panty.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- There exists in the art of garments, such as pantyhose, knit panties and shorts with elasticized waistbands. The elasticized waistbands, as is known in the art, secure the garment around a waist of the wearer. A known problem in the art is that slippage occurs where the elasticized waistbands of the garment tends to traverse out of position around the wearer. Many patents address this known problem in the art. One such patent is U.S. Pat. No. 4,872,324 to Rearwin et al. Rearwin discloses an elasticized waistband with a knitted fabric body having yarns with an uncovered elastomeric yarn knit in course and wales. The elastomeric yarn of the elasticized waistband is knit in a two-ply inturned welt. Although this arrangement avoids slippage, this two-ply inturned welt configuration is bulky and is also uncomfortable since it tightly grips the wearer to avoid slippage. The two-ply inturned welt configuration increases the amount of fabric needed. Moreover, an amount of time is wasted for circular knitting the two-ply fabric. The two-ply inturned welt configuration may also push forward clothes covering the two-ply inturned welt so as to be displayed to the wearer.
- Attempts have been made in the art to form a knit panty without such bulkiness. However, all single layer knit constructions result in unsightly curling of the single knit construction. The single layer knit constructions also result in poor elasticity, increased slippage, and unsightly curling of the single knit construction.
- Accordingly, there is a need for a garment that eliminates at least one or more of the aforementioned drawbacks and deficiencies of the prior art.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a knit panty with a single layer waistband.
- It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a knit panty with a waistband that is not bulky.
- It is still another object of the present invention to provide a knit panty with a single layer waistband that is cheaper to manufacture and can be manufactured quickly.
- It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a knit panty with a single layer waistband that does not curl.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide a knit panty with a single layer waistband that is treated by dry heat or pressurized heated steam to prevent curling while at the same time maintaining elasticity and power.
- It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a knit panty with a single layer waistband with a clean selvedge at an end thereof.
- It is a yet further object of the present invention to provide a knit panty with a single layer waistband that is plain knit on a circular knitting machine with text nylon, with the text nylon being plaited with an elastomeric fabric.
- It is another further object of the present invention to provide a knit panty with a thin single layer waistband that can be worn underneath a wearer's clothes that is not noticeable through the wearer's clothes.
- It is still another object of the present invention to provide a knit panty with a single layer waistband that is integrally connected to a body of the knit panty by a circular knitting operation.
- These and other objects and advantages of the present invention are achieved by a garment of the present invention. The garment has a fabric portion for encircling a body part with the fabric portion having a first area for securing the garment around the body part. The garment also has a welt in the first area with the welt securing the garment to the body part at the first area. The welt is knit as a single layer, and the clean selvedge is not visible from an outer surface of the garment.

Theedge 18 of each of thefirst leg hole 12 and thesecond leg hole 14 may optionally have a bandingmaterial 19 stitched thereon for a better and tighter fit of theknit panty 10 at the edge. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , therear panel 20 is an integral member with thefront panel 16 as both are circularly knit in one operation by a circular knitting machine. Alternatively, thefront panel 16 and therear panel 20 may be two discrete and separate pieces of fabric that are joined to one another by a stitching or other warp or weft knitting operation at a seam. Preferably, the rear panel is formed with an aestheticallypleasing pattern 22 thereon. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , the body orknit panty 10 is knit with a torso opening 24. The torso opening 24 has atorso opening edge 26. The torsoopening edge 26 has a perimeter 28 that has a complementary size to an overall size of theknit panty 10 such as extra small, small, medium, large and extra large. Thetorso opening 24 is shown slightly opened for illustration purposes and for clarity. Both thefront panel 16 and therear panel 20 are connected at thetorso opening edge 26 preferably by a circular knitting operation to asingle layer waistband 30 of the present invention. Thesingle layer waistband 30 preferably is formed with a single layer of fabric and has a number of unexpected benefits over a waistband of the prior art. - The
single layer waistband 30 is preferably made from any heat sensitive elastomeric material known in the art that gives a degree of set. Most preferably, thesingle layer waistband 30 is made from two yarns with a spandex material being plaited or combined with a synthetic continuous filament, a staple yarn, a natural fiber yarn or any combination thereof. - The
single layer waistband 30 in one embodiment is made as a welt that is circularly knit and integral with theknit panty 10. Thesingle layer waistband 30 is knit by the circular knitting machine. The single layer is commenced with two courses of fine nylon elasthane with an alternating one by one needle selection. Thereafter, thefront panel 16 andrear panel 20 of theknit panty 10 are circularly knit with alternating feed plait yarns that are knit with a number of main body yarns. Thefront panel 16 and therear panel 20 are then knit as other circular knitting feeds are introduced by the circular knitting machine and added with float plaits for rib selection. - The
single layer waistband 30 has anoutermost edge 32 that is opposite acrotch region 34 of theknit panty 10 better shown inFIG. 4 . Thesingle layer waistband 30 is preferably manufactured with aclean selvedge 36 or a clean edge that will not fray or ravel. Theclean selvedge 36 does not fray or roll since the clean selvedge is treated. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , there is shown a top view of theknit panty 10 with thesingle layer waistband 30 that has theclean selvedge 36 preferably extending around the entireoutermost edge 32 of theknit panty 10. - The
clean selvedge 36 that will remain uncurled is preferably treated by a heat treatment, a steam treatment or a pressurized steam treatment to avoid curling. The treatment is preferably an application of heat to thesingle layer waistband 30 for a predetermined amount of time to form theclean selvedge 36. The treatment may be a dry heat treatment in a range that includes about one hundred and fifty degrees Celsius to about two hundred degrees Celsius, a pressurized steam treatment being in a range that includes about one hundred ten degrees Celsius to about one hundred forty degrees Celsius for a time in excess of one minute. Theunfinished knit panty 10 is preferably situated on a carrier during the heat process. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , there is shown a graphical representation of a stitch diagram of thesingle layer waistband 30 of the present invention. Theknit panty 10 is preferably knit with simple knit constructions, such as plain, tuck, pearl, and combinations thereof. Referring toFIG. 6 , the “X”s are denoted for the purposes of clarity as a stitch, while the “O”s are denoted as a miss stitch. Thesingle layer waistband 30 has afirst course 40 and asecond course 42 that are knit by afirst feed 44, a second feed 46, a third feed 48, a fourth feed 50, a fifth feed 52, a sixth feed 54, a seventh feed 56, and aneighth feed 58 of the circular knitting machine. Preferably, all of the first througheighth feeds 44 through 58 are knit as body yarns. In another alternative embodiment, thefirst feed 44, the third feed 48, the fifth feed 52, and the seventh feed 54 are a heavy nylon elasthane having floating stitches for a rib selection. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , there is shown a graphical representation of a circular knitting needle selection of a number of circular knitting needles 60. The circular knitting needle selection is preferably on thefirst feed 44, the third feed 48, the fifth feed 52, and the seventh feed 56 using tuck and clearing cams to achieve the float stitching. The number ofneedles 60 have needles for knitting 62 and needles formiss stitching 64. Aheavy nylon elasthane 66 is shown being knit with a platefine nylon elasthane 68 andtext nylon 70. - Referring to
FIG. 8 , there is shown a graphical representation of another circular knitting needle selection for the plain knit of the second feed 46, the fourth feed 50, the sixth feed 54, and theeighth feed 58. The circular knitting needle selection is preferably directed to the second feed 46, the fourth feed 50, the sixth feed 54, and theeighth feed 58 using plain knitting with thetext nylon 70 that is plated with the fine nylon elastic fibers 72. The number ofneedles 60 have the number of needles for knitting and thefine nylon elasthane 68 is shown knit with thetext nylon 70. - The
single layer waistband 30 is preferably advantageous over the two-ply configuration of the prior art since the single layer waistband is narrower in width and is not overly bulky. The two-ply configuration of the prior art is thick in width, uncomfortable and tightly grips the wearer to avoid slippage. Thesingle layer waistband 30 as shown in for exampleFIG. 3 , avoids this bulky configuration while at the same time providing the same amount of elasticity unexpectedly with less fabric. The two-ply configuration of the prior art is also costly to manufacture and doubles an amount of fabric that is expended. Thesingle layer waistband 30 is produced cheaper and quicker for improved benefits. The two-ply configuration tends to be so bulky that it tends to show through the outer garments of the wearer (as especially is the case with a knit panty) where the single layer configuration gives the outer garments a smoother appearance. - It should be understood that the foregoing description is only illustrative of the present invention. Various alternatives and modifications can be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variances.
