TUBULAR GARMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240016234 titled 'TUBULAR GARMENT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a method of manufacturing a tubular garment using a knitting machine with two knitting beds. The method involves knitting fabric panels in each knitting bed and joining them together to create a tubular portion of the garment. The method also includes temporarily transferring one fabric panel to the other knitting bed and knitting another fabric panel in the first knitting bed. These panels are then joined together to define another tubular portion of the garment. Additionally, the method involves incorporating an electrically conductive bus through the second tubular portion to establish electrical communication with conductive yarn integrated within the garment.
- The method involves knitting fabric panels in two knitting beds and joining them together to create a tubular garment.
- One fabric panel is temporarily transferred to the other knitting bed while another fabric panel is knitted in the first knitting bed.
- An electrically conductive bus is disposed through one tubular portion of the garment to establish electrical communication with conductive yarn integrated within the garment.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Manufacturing of seamless tubular garments such as socks, sleeves, or leggings.
- Production of smart garments with integrated conductive yarn for applications like wearable electronics or medical monitoring devices.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Traditional methods of manufacturing tubular garments may involve multiple steps and seams, resulting in a less seamless and comfortable fit.
- Integrating conductive yarn within the garment can be challenging, especially when trying to establish electrical communication throughout the garment.
Benefits of this technology:
- Simplified manufacturing process for tubular garments, resulting in a more seamless and comfortable fit.
- Enables the integration of conductive yarn within the garment, allowing for the creation of smart garments with various functionalities.
Original Abstract Submitted
methods of manufacturing a tubular garment using a knitting machine having a first knitting bed and a second knitting bed are disclosed. an embodiment of the method includes knitting a first fabric panel in the first knitting bed and knitting a second fabric panel in the second knitting bed. the first fabric panel and the second fabric panel being joined to define a first tubular portion of the tubular garment. the method includes temporarily transferring the first fabric panel from the first knitting bed to the second knitting bed and knitting a third fabric panel in the first knitting bed. the method includes joining the third fabric panel to the first fabric panel to define a second tubular portion of the tubular garment. the method includes disposing an electrically conductive bus through the second tubular portion for electrical communication with at least one conductive yarn integrated within the tubular garment.
