Description
UNITED STATES PATENT ALMIRA SELBY, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
IMPROVEMENT IN STOCKINGS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 210,810, dated December 10, 1878; application lilcd November 9, 1878.
To all whom it 'may concern:
Be it known that l, ALMIRA SELBY, of Baltimore city, State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful llnprovenientsin Stockin gs; and I hereby declare the same to be fully, clearly, and exactly described as follows, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which is illustrated, in side elevation, (certain parts being,` broken a\vay,) a stocking embodying my present invention.
My invention relates in particular to childrens long stockings, adapted to be retained at their upper portion above the knee by an elastic knit portion or a garter; and itconsists in certain means for preventing` wear and condncing; to the comfort ofthe wearer, as hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawing is illustrated a stocking, A, of the usual proportions and shape, but differing from an ordinary stocking in having` its toe, heel, and the portion about the knee knit double, as shown, the parts b b', del', and e e being distinct und separate thicknesses ot' material, in eontradistinetion to a double thickness ofthe saine material.
The upper end7 a, of the stocking is knit, as usual, in elastic vertical ribs, adapted to subserve the end of, or act in conjunction with, a garter.
While I have shown the double knee portion as extending entirely around the stocking, and provided with a separate ribbed end, a', it is obvious that the desired end will be practically attained by limiting it to the front of the stockin g, the parts being joined on the line o.
For very small childrensuch as perform the major portion of their perarnbulationson hands and kneesa soft pad, C, is inserted between the thicknesses ot' material in front ot' the knee, and serves the ends of lessening wear of that part of the stocking', of conducing to the coiniortof the wearer, and of preventing injury of the knee from carpet-tacks, pins, or other sharp objects liable to be found on the door.
The double thicknesses of material will cause the stocking to ontlast, it is believed, three ordinary stockings, operating; on the principle of an ordinary carpet-lining.
Vhat I claim as new isl. A stoekin g havin g two thicknesses of niaterial at the knee, integral with the body of the stocking, as set forth.
2. A stocking; having` its heel and toe re-enforced by a separate thickness of material integral with the body of the stocking, substantially as set forth.
3. A stocking having a pocket in front of the knee, and extending wholly or partially around the stocking, as set forth.
4. A stocking` having two thicknesses of material about the knee portion, each thickness terminating in a contracted and elastic riin, and being' integral with the body of the stocking, as set fort-h.
ALMIRA SELBY.
