Inside the edges of the drawing triangle a set of three base lines each parallel to its corresponding edge are further provided. Between said inner base lines and the edges of the triangle, sets of broken parallel lines are provided which can be used to draw parallel lines with accuracy. Sets of scales are also provided along said perpendicular and the base edge of the drawing triangle.

Abstract: The run-resistant toe portion is of substantially the same dyed shade and has the same sheer appearance as the adjacent foot portion of the hosiery article. The run-resistant toe portion is knit with every other course being knit of a yarn which is capable of being dyed and the remaining courses are knit of a dye-resistant yarn which is not capable of being dyed. Intervening single courses of the toe portion are knit with alternating tuck and plain stitch loops in adjacent wales while alternating courses are knit with plain stitch loops in every wale and of a smaller stitch loop size to enhance the run-resistant characteristics of the toe portion.

Abstract: A steel sheet container wherein the bottom wall is integral with the body and wherein the container is formed by a drawing operation with there being three drawings of the metal in sequence. Most particularly, the steel sheet has on the opposite surfaces thereof a coating of tin with the surfaces of the steel sheet being very smooth so as to permit the formation of the tin with a matte finish. The finish of the steel sheet should range generally from on the order of 10 microinch minimum to 30 microinch maximum.

Abstract: A pair of spaced-apart and identically shaped elongate boards is supported for vertical adjustment on a pedestal-type stand. The boards are interconnected and maintained in spaced-apart relationship at their lower ends and the upper or free toe end portions are spaced apart so that the panty hose can be easily drawn onto and off of the sizing form. Opposite side edges of the boards are contoured symmetrically with gradually curving configurations which progressively increase in width from the free toe ends downwardly to the panty portion so that the panty hose can be easily drawn onto and removed from the sizing form. The shape of the form permits the panty hose to be positioned on the sizing form with the fabric in uniformly stretched condition throughout all areas of the panty hose.

Abstract: The crotch area is integrally knit with the pantyhose blanks to eliminate the need for separately knit and cut crotch patches. The integrally knit crotch area includes a repeating four-course pattern of course portions with certain of the course portions including alternating jersey stitches and tuck loops to form openings in the crotch area and provide ventilation thereto. The repeating course portions also include selected courses with a hydrophilic yarn knit in plated relationship and on the inside of the body yarn to provide moisture-absorbing characteristics to the crotch area.

Abstract: The collet-type drill includes improved clamping means having a pressure foot member that is in engagement with the work piece. The pressure foot member is connected with a drill motor and with a feed means. A collet is operably connected to and movable relative to the foot member, and when actuated, connects the drill to the work piece. A clamp bushing has one end pivotally connected with the collet and encircles a cylindrical sleeve that has a transverse slot extending therethrough. The bushing is connected to the pressure foot member. A clamping piston extends through the sleeve and carries a connecting pin that extends through the slot in the sleeve into the clamp bushing whereby the bushing and collet are movable together in response to movement of the clamping piston to force the collet into holding engagement with the work piece.

Abstract: The triple layer fabric extends throughout at least a substantial portion of the foot portion and provides improved cushioning and moisture-absorbing characteristics thereto. The sock can be knit on a conventional hosiery knitting machine with very little modification being required. The inside and outside fabric layers of the foot are knit of hydrophobic yarn and the intermediate layer is knit at least in part of hydrophilic yarn so that moisture from the foot is wicked through the inner layer and into the intermediate layer where the moisture is absorbed and then wicked and evaporated through the outside layer. The triple layer in the foot of the sock maintains the foot of the wearer in a dry condition and provides cushioning for at least the ball and toes of the foot of the wearer.

Abstract: A reinforced toe with varying density is provided for hosiery articles such as sheer stockings, pantyhose and the like so that there is no sharply contrasting line of demarcation between the sheer fabric in the foot portion and the reinforced fabric in the toe pocket and while providing full reinforcement in the area of the toe pocket at the ends of the toes where the need is greatest. The reinforced toe is produced by knitting a reinforcing yarn in plated relationship with the body yarn in spaced-apart courses in a first group of courses adjacent the sheer foot and knitting the reinforcing yarn in more closely spaced courses of a second group of courses adjacent the closed end of the toe pocket. This arrangement provides a gradual or stepped transition from the sheer fabric of the foot to the relatively heavy fabric at the closed end of the toe pocket and provides the reinforced toe with varying or increasing fabric density from the foot to the closed end thereof.

Abstract: An aerosol type container wherein a separate product bag of plastics material is provided. The bag is of a larger size than the opening in which the valve cup is seated and thus must be gathered or pleated to pass through that reduced diameter opening. The initially gathered or pleated bag material is compressively engaged between the top curl defining the opening and the valve cup and is heated to a molding and bonding temperature so that a molded ring conforming to the adjacent portions of the top curl and the valve seat is formed, this part eliminating the usual need for a compound or other sealant between the valve cup and the top curl.

Abstract: This tube sock is of a medium or dress weight so that the sock may be comfortably worn with dress shoes and includes very long and fine terry loops in the heel and sole area to provide the sock with cushion and comfort characteristics of the type normally provided in heavy weight athletic type socks. The sock is knit on a fine gauge machine of the type normally employed in knitting ladies' sheer hosiery and panty hose, usually provided with 400 needles. The sock is knit on every other or alternative needles so that it contains only 200 wales instead of the normal 400 wales usually contained in ladies' sheer hosiery articles. The terry loops formed in the heel and sole area are formed on dial instruments projected outwardly over an idle needle so that unusually long terry loops are formed of a fine cotton yarn which are three to five times as long as the stitch loops formed of the body yarn. spThis a division of application Ser.
