Abstract

This invention consists of tubular knitted garments, having on their body one or more elastic bands (3, 4, 5), which can work as division elements among the various components of the garment or as supporting or decorative bands. Said garments have the characteristic of being formed by various elements, continuous the one with the other, processed with 'double face', in order to allow the exterior bending of a garment on the other, permitting various transformations. The procedure by which said garments are manufactured includes a processing on large diameter knitting machines.

Description

"DOUBLE FACE KNITTED GARMENTS CONSISTING OF TWO OR MORE CONTINUOUS ELEMENTS, AND THEIR MANUFACTURING SYSTEM."
DESCRIPTION Technical Field
The present invention concerns knitted products produced through the processing of yarns by socks or stockings machines, or the like, with variable diameter (in any case, preferably from 4 to 32 inches) and with variable number of needles and relative thickness, as well as their manufacturing procedure.
At present, manufacturing systems exist, allowing to produce, by means of said machines, socks, stockings or other products having reduced diameter. This is possible thanks to the positioning of a ring, equipped with needles, on which the yarn to be processed is placed; this yarn is then processed by the machine producing a tubular product, which is cut and closed at the toe, in order to realize the stocking or the sock.
Knitted products exist as well, for which the same applicants filed the patent application for utility model no. FI96U000114 of 16th October 1996, as transformation of the patent application for invention no. FI93A000234 of 19th November 1993, comprising "A knitted garment forming a single garment replacing more garments separated and worn together", which makes possible to manufacture garments using the machines currently used for manufacturing hosiery and which specifically makes possible to manufacture with a single assembling a garment consisting of two elements, such as knickers continuos with a stocking, a skirt continuos with a stocking, trousers continuous and so on.
Nevertheless, said products have different drawbacks, concerning both their building up and the system by which they are manufactured, which greatly restricts their use. Firstly, said garments are manufactured by monochromatic yarn and even if they are manufactured by different yarns, anyway they have a plain stitch and a purl stitch, which prevents them from being worn smartly, turning the one upside down the other. This matter causes their limited use, since they can be worn only for the specific purpose for which they have been manufactured (e.g. knickers and tops) and they don't allow any variation (e.g. to rotate the top over the knickers turning it on the waist in order to make it a skirt) . In addition, since said garments are produced in order to replace two elements, because of the manufacturing system by which they are processed, they don't allow the production of a garment assembling in itself more than two elements and which can be produced as the result of a homogeneous processing without any sewing. Disclosure of invention
The present invention principally aims at eliminating the above-mentioned drawbacks, supplying "double face" garments, consisting of two or more elements currently worn separately, and their manufacturing system.
We reached this result, according to the invention, adopting the idea to realize these garments and a system with the characteristics described n the separate claims. Other characteristics of this invention are the object of dependent claims .
The advantages resulting from the present invention essentially consist of the fact that it' s possible to kn t garments having, without continuous solution, more elements, the one next to the other, allowing them to be worn simultaneously; that the "double face" processing increases the manufacturing possibilities of these garments, since it allows to overturn more parts of the garment turning it into different garments according to the needs; that there is no stop during the processing, which results simple and homogeneous; that there isn't any sewing or any stop between one garment and the other; that it's possible to make more than two garments continuos; that it's possible to add supports or decorations in more places; that the manufacturing cost is reasonable; that said garments may be produced using standard hosiery machines preferably with large diameter; that it's possible to manufacture garments of any type, from private hosiery to skirts, trousers, jackets and other. Reduced to their essential structure and with reference to the figures of the enclosed drawings, knitted garments, consisting of two or more elements continuous the one with the other, according to the invention, comprise: means to get more garments connected the one with the other, without continuous solution, with tubular knitted garments processed the one after the other, by means of machines having a large diameter cylinder; means to wear these garments from anyone of their sides, or in such a way that one or more of their components can be overturn and put on top of another, with a "double face" knitting processing; means to reinforce or support some parts of the body, like breast, waist or other, with circular elastic or double trim bands, processed on the various garments' elements and/or in the connecting areas between an element and another . Conveniently, as for what concerns the manufacturing system, n order to make a garment consisting of more elements, we begin making a first garment, separating half of the garment's stitches, passing them to the so called "dial" with needles or hooks, processing a first half of the stitches, coming then up to the point where they had been separated, taking again the other half of the stitches and processing them as well, so making another garment connected with the first two. Conveniently, with reference to the attached Fig. 13 and to the above-stated processing procedure, a garment consisting of at least three elements made and knitted continuously the one with the other, is realized beginning the processing from one of its trims (37), m a circular way, making the top (36), then processing with double trim (39), the waist and leaving in that, or in another point, half of the stitches to the so called "dial" with needles and hooks, so that from the point (57) the machine begins to process a second garment, for example the skirt (45), processing it in a circular way along the trims (40) up to the extreme point (41), then coming back with the processing up to the point (57) from which, taking half of the stitches left before, begins to process another garment, for example the shorts (44) along the trims (42) up to the extremity (43), allowing the manufacturing of knitted garments having, without continuos solution, more elements the one next to the other. Conveniently, m order to realize a garment consisting of more elements manufactured the one after the other, the machine processes a first garment, followed by the processing of a second garment and possibly of a third one and so on, then overturning and placing one garment on top of the other, allowing all of them to be put on thanks to their particular "double face" processing.
Conveniently, between the one and the other garment and inside each of them, elastic or double trim bands can be provided, in any case supporting the breast, the waist and other parts of the body.
Conveniently, the garments are processed by knitting machines having a cylinder with a larger diameter than the one of the socks machines and particularly variable from 4 to 32 inches . Conveniently, the "double face" processing on these particular garments, is a traditional one, since the knitting machine with large diameter works like the socks machines that get a part of a colour or a yarn and the opposite part of a different colour and/or yarn.
Conveniently, the "double face" processing takes place using the processing procedure called "vanise" knitting. Conveniently, the "double face" processing allows to make garments having different colours on their sides and to wear a garment externally bent on the other, without being able to see the garment's "other side" when you rotate or overturn it.
Conveniently, with reference to the attached Figs. 1 and 2 and to the above-cited characteristics, a knitted garment comprises an elastic band, or double trim, (3) continuing w th a top (2) followed by another band (4), a part (7), preferably transparent, and a band (5) on the waist over the knickers (6), so that, overturning the top (2) over the knickers (6), after being rotated around the band (4), the part (7), preferably transparent, over the band (5) which is on the waist over the knickers (6), is left, while the band (3) is on the lower end of the top-skirt (2) .
Conveniently, with reference to the attached Figs. 3, 4 and 5 and to the above-cited characteristics, a knitted garment comprises an elastic band, or double trim, (9) possibly followed by another band (14) supporting the breast, continuing with a top (10) followed by another band (11), a part (15), preferably transparent, and a band (12) on the waist over the shorts (13), so that overturning the top (10) over the shorts (13), after being rotated around the band (11), the part (15), preferably transparent, over the band (12) on the waist over the shorts (13), is left, while the band (9) is the lower end of the top-skirt (10) . Conveniently, with reference to the attached Figs. 6, 7 and 8 and to the above-cited characteristics, a knitted garment comprises an elastic band, or double trim, (17) possibly followed by a band (23) supporting the breast, continuing with a top (18) followed by another band (19), a part (21), preferably transparent, and a band (20) on the waist over the stockings (22), so that overturning the top (18) over the stockings (22), after being rotated around the band (19), the part (21), preferably transparent, over the band (20) on the waist over the stockings (22), s left, while the band (17) is the lower end of the top-skirt (18) .
Conveniently, with reference to the attached Figs. 14 and 15 and to the above-cited characteristics, a knitted garment comprises an elastic band, or double trim, (46) continuing with a cylindrical garment (51) followed by another band (47), another cylindrical garment (52), a band (48), a cylindrical part (53) being the part containing the breast, a band supporting the breast (49), a top (54), an elastic band on the waist (50) followed by the pants (55), so that overturning the tubular part (51) over the pants (55), the band (46) is its lower end, with the tubular part (52) placed over the top (54) with its band (47) slightly over the band on the waist (50) , with the part (53) containing the breast and the band (49) staying below and with the band (48) representing the rotation point of the whole garment. Conveniently, with reference to the attached Figs. 9 and 10 and to the above-cited characteristics, a knitted garment comprises a top (25), which can comprise in its turn an elastic band, or double trim, (26) supporting the breast, and a lower band (27) under which there is a part (29), preferably transparent, and a band (28) on the waist over the knickers (30) . This "double face" garment, consisting of more elements continuous the one with the other, can be worn with no need to bend internally or externally one garment on the other .
Conveniently, with reference to Fig. 11, this system allows the manufacturing of knitted knickers without any sewing, realized through a tubular processing w th double trim (56) in the part resting on the area connecting the thigh with the torso, then through a simple knitting processing, manufacturing a part with a simple or double trim (34) and the other with a kept back knitting processing (35) , in order to make an almost triangular body (33) .
Conveniently, with reference to the above-cited garment, in order to put it on sale, it's necessary to cut, manually or with a "cut and sew" like machine, the trim (34) on which the elastic can be sewn, in order to make possible to wear the garment like usual knickers.
Conveniently, with reference to Fig. 16, this system allows to manufacture a garment (58) with tubular knitting, having on its body two or more elastic bands, or double trim, (59, 60, 62, 63) and on which a central vertical cut is made, leaving an open space (64).
Conveniently, with reference to Fig. 17, this system allows to manufacture a garment (65), having two or more horizontal elastic bands or double trim (66, 70, 71), centrally joint by means of a kept back knitting processed with a needles' selection, leaving up the hollows (68, 68A) for the arms and continuing below, with a tubular knitting (72) ending with a double trim (73) , while laterally, between two bands (70 and 71), two open spaces (74, 74A) are left.
In practice, the manufacturing details may, however, vary as regards shape, size, position of elements, and type of materials used, but still remain witnin the range of the idea proposed as a solution and, consequently, within the limits of the protection granted by this patent for invention.

- Fig. 8 shows schematically the same garment (16) with the top (18) overturn over the stockings (22), after being rotated around the band (19), in order to leave the part (21), preferably transparent, over the band (20) on the waist over the stockings (22), while the band (17) is the lower end of the top-skirt (18), this building up of the product is possible thanks to the "double face" processing.
- Fig. 9 shows schematically another garment (24) manufactured by this system and consisting of a top (25) on which there is an elastic band, or double trim, (26) for breast's support and a lower band (27) under which there is a part (29) , preferably transparent, and a band (28) on the waist over the knickers (30).
- Fig. 10 shows a garment (32) having a top (25), a lower band (27) under which there is a part (29), preferably transparent, and the band (28) on the waist over the shorts (31) .
- Fig. 11 shows a pair of knitted knickers without any sewing, realized through a tubular processing with double trim (56) having on one side a simple or double trim (34), on the other side a kept back knitting processing (35) in order to make an almost triangular body (33) .
- Fig. 12 shows the same garment as Fig. 11 with the trim (34) being cut, on which the elastic can be sewn, in order to make possible to wear the garment like usual knickers.
- Fig. 13 shows schematically a garment consisting of three elements knitted continuously the one with the other. The processing can start from the beginning of anyone of said elements, while, as an example, we are going to describe its processing starting from the upper trim (37) . The knitting machine starts processing the trim (37), in a circular way, manufacturing the top (36) in order to make, with double trim (39), the waist. Once the band (39) has been assembled, the machine leaves half of the stitches to the dial with needles and hooks, and from the point (57) the machine starts processing a second garment, for example the skirt (45) , processing it in a circular way along the trims (40) up to the extreme point (41) and then coming back up to the point (57) from which, taking again half of the stitches left before, starts processing another garment, the shorts (44) along the trims (42) up to the end (43) . By this procedure it's possible to knit garments having, without continuous solution, more elements, the one next to the other.
Fig. 14 shows schematically another garment manufactured by this system and consisting of an elastic band, or double trim, (46) continuing with a cylindrical garment (51) followed by another band (47), another cylindrical garment (52), a band (48), a cylindrical part (53) and a band (49) which support the breast, a top (54), an elastic band on the waist (50) followed by the shorts (55) . Fig. 15 shows the same garment as fig. 14 with the tabular part (51) overturn over the shorts (55) so that the band (46) is their lower end, with the tubular part (52) placed over the top (54) with its band (47) slightly over the band on the waist (50), with the part (53) which supports the breast and the band (49) staying below and with the band (48) being the rotation point of the whole garment.
- Fig. 16 shows a garment (58) manufactured by this system, starting from a double trim processing (59), which is the garment's collar, continuing with a tubular processing, another double trim (60), again tubular processing, double trim (61), tubular processing, double trim (62), tubular processing, double trim (63), while the garment is then cut at the centre, leaving an open space (64).
- Fig. 17 shows a garment (65), where the collar (66) at the centre is manufactured with double trim, leaving laterally the hollows (68, 68A) for the arms; centrally a kept back knitting (67) is processed by means of a selection of needles, while laterally the knitting is processed n a tubular way, m order to process, from the centre of the kept back knitting (69), a first (70) and a second (71) double trim, so that, between them, two open spaces (74, 74A) are left, and so that under the double trim (71) a tubular knitting (72) is processed, ending with a double trim (73) .

Claims

1) Knitted garments consisting of two or more elements, continuous the one with the other, characterized by the fact that they comprise: means to get more garments connected the one with the other, without continuous solution, with tubular knitted garments processed the one after the other, by means of machines having a large diameter cylinder; means to wear these garments from anyone of their sides, or in such a way that one or more of their components can be overturn and put on top of another, with a "double face" knitting processing; means to reinforce or support some parts of the body, like breast, waist or other, with circular elastic or double trim bands, processed on the various garments' elements and/or in the connecting areas between an element and another .
2) Garments according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that, as for what concerns the manufacturing system, n order to make a garment consisting of more elements, we begin making a first garment, separating half of the garment's stitches, passing them to the so called "dial" with needles or hooks, processing a first half of the stitches, coming then up to the point where they had been separated, taking again the other half of the stitches and processing them as well, so making another garment connected with the first two.
3) Garments according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that they comprise at least three elements made and knitted continuously the one with the other, realized beginning the processing from one of their trims (37) , m a circular way, making the top (36), then processing with double trim (39) , the waist and leaving in that, or in another point, half of the stitches to the so called "dial" with needles and hooks, so that from the point (57) the machine begins to process a second garment, for example the skirt (45), processing it in a circular way along the trims (40) up to the extreme point (41), then coming back with the processing up to the point (57) from which, taking half of the stitches left before, begins to process another garment, for example the shorts (44) along the trims (42) up to the extremity (43), allowing the manufacturing of knitted garments having, without continuos solution, more elements the one next to the other .
4) Garments according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that, in order to realize a garment consisting of more elements manufactured the one after the other, the machine processes a first garment, followed by the processing of a second garment and possibly of a third one and so on, then overturning and placing one garment on top of the other, allowing all of them to be put on thanks to their particular "double face" processing.
