An automatic unit for the programmable tucking in of part of a piece of material and the automatic fixing of this tuck by a heat-sealed reinforcement comprises two machines arranged at an angle of 150.degree. relative to one another and symmetrical with respect to the median axis separating them. The components of the two machines are identical and each machine comprises a flat worktable, a main sliding support positioned behind the worktable, a lower row of fixed needles integral with the sliding support, an upper row of movable needles fixed to the sliding support, a mechanical device for the forward movement above the upper row of needles supporting an eccentric cylinder, a double-faced heating plate having a flat face and a face provided with equidistant slots and being mounted on a rotary shaft located over the worktable, a holding plate movable on this shaft for holding part of a piece of material, a mechanical gripping device, a member on the worktable between the holding plate and gripping device when the holding plate is lowered and the material is gripped between it and the gripping device, a series of jacks for controlling movement of various components and position detectors for monitoring the performance of the machine.

An insulation-filled jacket has removably fastened sleeves, and retaining means for attaching the sleeves, when removed, to the inside of the jacket thereby increasing the depth of insulation over substantial surface areas of the jacket. The retaining means are positioned to hold the sleeves so as to maximize the surface area of the sleeves presented, and the depth of insulation afforded to the wearer at critical heat loss locations of his body, in order to minimize critical heat loss and to retard hypothermia. The retaining means may include fastening components constructed integrally with the removable sleeves.

An adjustable pant leg system includes a pair of trouser legs having a row of synthetic hook and loop material affixed to an inner surface at the bottom edge portion of the trouser legs. A plurality of rows of synthetic hook and loop material is also spaced equally on the inside of the trouser legs along a bottom portion of its length. The synthetic hook and loop material affixed at the edge portion is folded inwardly and upwardly along the length on the inside of the trouser legs for engagement with one of the plurality of rows of synthetic hook and loop material to form the legs of a desired length.
摘要:
A coat garment having semi-detachable sleeves and pocket means for receiving such sleeves in their semi-detached condition; the sleeves having essentially longitudinal, selectively openable seams for accommodating arm removal from such sleeves even while the coat is worn; the sleeves can then be tucked into the pocket means provided, preferably in storage pouch means provided by the back of the coat proximate the sleeve openings, so that these sleeves may be stored, and all of this without necessitating coat removal, whereupon the user enjoys the warmth of the body of the coat without encumbering his arms by sleeves; such sleeves being constructed for easy withdrawal and reinsertion of arms therein prior to reconstitution of the sleeves as respective arm coverings.

A man''s coat of (say) size 40 has a 40 inch horizontal breastline. The pattern for each (right and left) front panel of that coat has, at its upper rear corner, a triangular section, the sides edges of which extend upwardly from the breastline and correspond to the respective cut edges of the upwardly curved lower rear portion of the armhole and the corresponding portion of the rear side margin of the panel. The apex of the triangular section is flat, being characterized by a short top extending horizontally about one-fourth of an inch from one side edge of the triangular section to the other. The height of the triangular section from the breastline up to its flat top, which is actually equal to one-sixteenth of the breastline, is designated by tailors as ''''1/8th of the breastline.'''' Thus, in coat sizes 38, 40, and 42 inches, the ''''triangular'''' section approximates 2 1/4 inches, 2 1/2 inches and 2- 3/4 inches, respectively. A man''s coat conventionally made from that pattern tends, when worn, to pull across the back between the lower halves of the armhole seams when the arms are outstretched and then crossed. This objectionable pull is substantially reduced (if not completely eliminated) by substantially increasing the height of the triangular section to a value, which tailors would recognize as ''''one-fourth inch of the breastline'''' minus 1/2 inch more or less. In coat sizes 38, 40 and 42 inches, the increase appriximates 2 inches, hence, the height of the section in the sizes mentioned approximates 4 1/4 , 4 1/2 , and 4- 3/4 inches, respectively. These values represent increases of about 188 percent, 180 percent, and 173 percent of the conventional heights in the sizes mentioned. Hereafter, the expressions ''''one-eighth BL,'''' ''''one-fourth BL, '''' etc., will be used to designate dimensions actually equal respectively to 1/16th of the breastline dimension, one-eighth of the breastline dimension, etc.
摘要:
A method of knitting a sleeved garment in which sleeve tubes and a body tube are knitted and joined to one another on the knitting machine, said joining being brought about by means of sleeve extensions knitted integrally with the sleeve and during the knitting of which needles are taken out of action whilst still holding their loops and are subsequently reintroduced to cause portions of wales of the sleeve extensions to lie at an angle to other portions of those extensions.

A sewing aid device has an elongated flexible strip arcuately bent into an annular form of adjustable circumferential size. The smooth outer surface of the form is arranged to be covered by the marginal portion of a bodice at the armhole. The inner surface of the form has a series of transversely extending depressions uniformly spaced therealong to provide an undulating contour. The contoured inner surface is arranged to receive an oversized sleeve cap. A plurality of clips are spaced about the form for holding the marginal portion to the outer surface and for holding and gathering the sleeve cap about the contoured inner surface. Alternatively, the marginal portion of the bodice may be adhesively held to the outer surface, and the sleeve cap may be clamped against the contoured inner surface by a complementarily contoured inner strip.
摘要:
A sealing joint for garments including a glove having a tapered gauntlet which is stiffened against circumferential collapse and which may be received in an opening in a sleeve of lesser diameter than that of the gauntlet. The stiffener is adapted to be selectively collapsed to permit easy removal of the glove from the sleeve without necessarily taking off the garment.
摘要:
A method of continuously preforming tapered sleeves for use in the manufacture of garments. Rows of transversely spaced adhesive strips are successively applied to a continuous web with each strip extending at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the web. The web is then folded along longitudinal lines passing through the leading and trailing points of each strip with the longitudinal line through the leading point of each strip being folded over the longitudinal line through the trailing point. The side portions of the web are then folded inwardly and secured together to form a flat tubular web shape. The web is then cut to sleeve length along successive transverse lines passing through the leading points of each row of adhesive strips with the row of adhesive strips of each length creating a tapered section in the sleeve.
