A device for feeding yarn or yarns for knitting machines for hosiery or the like, comprising a supporting structure which supports at least one yarn finger having an elongated shape and being pivoted, at an intermediate portion thereof, to the supporting structure about a corresponding rotation axis and having, proximate to a longitudinal end thereof, a passage for the yarn or yarns to be fed to the needles of the knitting forming machine, the device for feeding yarn or yarns comprising an electromagnetically actuated device which comprises at least one magnet which is fixed to the at least one yarn finger and at least one electric coil which is laterally adjacent to the at least one yarn finger and is connected to the supporting structure.

A compression garment, for example, a sock, formed of a knitted fabric that includes an elastomer compression inlay yarn introduced into a predetermined first selection of needles on a first knitting machine finger position and first and second pattern yarns introduced into a predetermined second selection of needles on second and third knitting machine finger positions, the first selection of needles and the second selection of needles collectively defining a predetermined pattern. When the predetermined second selection of needles is raised to take on the first and second pattern yarns, the elastomer compression inlay yarn deflects predetermined ones of the second selection of needles radially inwardly to define an annular space into which the pattern yarns are dropped in an offset relation to the elastomer compression inlay yarn. The first and second pattern yarns are plated to respective outer and inner surfaces of the fabric, and the elastomer compression yarn are inlaid to the inner surface of the fabric.

Aspects herein are directed to a knit sock having a leg portion and an integrally knit ankle welt extending around a circumference of the leg portion and positioned at a lower end of the leg portion. The knit sock further includes an integrally knit tab located at a back aspect of the ankle welt.

The product relates to a heat-regulating sock (1) with heat-conducting materials in certain areas. In one example embodiment the device may provide a means of conducting heat in and around the foot and leg. Heat can be intentionally transferred from one area of the foot to another, from an area of the leg to an area of the foot, from an area of leg to an area of the foot, from the foot to the localized atmosphere, or from the localized atmosphere to the foot. To this end, the inventive sock has at least one thermally conductive material (2) touching a portion of the foot or leg, in one or multiple locations, and conducting heat towards other regions of the foot or away from the contacted area of the foot with one or more additional materials insulating the conductive material.

The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, an undergarment that includes a pant body having an anterior knit region having a first knitting pattern, a posterior knit region having the first knitting pattern, a first lateral knit region having a second knitting pattern different from the first knitting pattern, extending between the anterior knit region and the posterior knit region, and a second lateral knit region having the second knitting pattern, extending between the anterior knit region and the posterior knit region, and a gusset panel having the second knitting pattern, extending between an entirety of the anterior knit region and the posterior knit region.

A training tight having preconfigured compression zones with integrated knit structure patterns is provided herein. The compression zones may have differing compressive properties where zones having a higher compression force are located at the waist and thigh areas of the tight, and zones having a lower compression force are located at the knee and calf area of the tight. The integrated structure patterns modify the compressive properties of the zones in the areas where the patterns are located in order to further customize the compressive properties of the training tight.

A polyamide multifilament has a tensile strength at 15% elongation of 4.0 to 6.0 cN/dtex, a strength-elongation product of 10.0 cN/dtex or more, and a yarn unevenness (U %) of 1.2 or less. The high-strength polyamide multifilament makes it possible to obtain stockings having high softness, durability, and transparency, and a lace knit in which patterns have a beautiful appearance.

A recovery tight having preconfigured compression zones with integrated knit structures is provided herein. The compression zones may have differing compressive properties where zones having a higher compression force are located at the calf and ankle areas of the tight, zones having the next highest compression force are located over the knee and lower thigh areas of the tight, and zones having the lowest compression force are located over the upper thigh and lower torso areas of the tight when the tight is worn. The integrated knit structures modify the compressive properties of the zones in the areas where the structures are located in order to further customize the compressive properties of the recovery tight.
