1,001,225. Knitting. VAN RAALTE CO. Inc. March 13, 1963 [May 7, 1962], No. 9912/63. Headings D1C and D1K. Circular stocking fabric knitted from two yarns S, M, consists entirely of tuck stitches each consisting of a held loop formed by both yarns and a tuck loop formed by one yarn the other yarn forming a float behind the stitch and modified tuck stitches where the tuck loop is knitted through one of the held loops. During knitting, yarn M is fed at a low position to all needles N and yarn S is fed at a higher position to alternate needles. Needles N have forwardly inclined hooks and, associated with each needle are pattern and auxiliary jacks P and J. A pattern drum operates levers 40 which select the jacks P to be elevated by cam 41, the selection being reversed with each rotation of the needle cylinder. Thus the needles are divided into two groups which after passing the yarn feed at two levels, the needles at the higher level are lowered by cam 30 and all the needles pass under stitch cam 33 but only those that have been raised to clearing level knit. The fabric thus knitted should produce only the normal tuck stitches but the modified stitches arise because yarn M is slack compared with yarn S and springy mono filament yarns are used. The yarns may be of 7 and 10 denier nylon respectively or both may be of 7 denier nylon.
