Stocking top, for an orthopedic support stocking over the lower leg, has a knitted welt with longitudinal elasticity together with monofilament wefts and edge wefts incorporating a fusible filament for bonding

摘要

The orthopedic support stocking, to cover the lower leg, has a holding welt band (16) with longitudinal elasticity which is bonded to the stocking (10) and projects (11) over its edge. The welt band has a knitted structure (17) with longitudinal elasticity, with a monofilament weft for stability and wefts at the edges (15). At least one monofilament weft and a fusible filament are worked into the knitted material, with their change-over points at the edge wefts, for the fusible filaments to bond the monofilaments and edge wefts in place. The welt also has a multifilament pattern structure (19).
