Embodiment Construction

[0013] figure 1 A model of a human leg is shown, on which it can be shown where or which areas of the human body can be measured for circumference so that hosiery garments, such as medical stockings or pantyhose, can be produced. In principle it is also possible to measure the sock of hosiery garments. For the purposes of the present case, only measurements above the foot of the sock are considered here. During such a measurement, one measures, for example, in the region cB of the part between the calf and the ankle bone, at the beginning cB1 of the calf, at the center cC of the calf and at the upper end cD of the calf, in the area cE of the knee, At the center cF of the thigh and at its upper end cG the circumference of the leg. If the manufacture of pantyhose is involved, the circumference cH in the region of the hips and the circumference cT at the waist are also measured.

[0014] The human legs differ from one another not only by the size of the circumference in the sa...

Abstract

The device has an elongated and vertically extending bracket (90) for a pressure sensor (50), which is arranged in front of a set of levers (71). The bracket (90) is curved in cross-section so that it has two sides (93, 94). The brace (90) simulates the area of ​​the tibia during inspection of a hosiery garment (80). The device also has a molding or stand (88) which is supported by the lever and simulates the surface of the calf of a leg or the back of the thigh. The width of the support conforms to the width of the calf or thigh of a leg. The device also includes two sets of elongated pressure sensors (50), each of which is arranged on the outer side of one side (93, 94) of the bracket (90). The hosiery garment to be tested is put over the device for its testing, so that it bears not only on the support (90) but also on the outer surface of the support and exerts pressure on the pressure sensors (51). Between the bracket (90) and the support (88) extend the free-stretching portions (81, 82) of the hosiery garment (80). An evaluation device is provided which can evaluate and display the values ​​delivered by the individual pressure sensors.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for testing elastic textile hosiery garments, in particular stockings or pantyhose, medical compression stockings and leg stockings. Background technique [0002] The elastic textile hosiery must be shaped such that it follows the contour of the leg of the person wearing the hosiery as precisely as possible. Because only under such conditions the hosiery garment can fully fulfill its function, and there are no such places along the leg where the hosiery garment exerts too much or too little pressure. In order to achieve this, it is known to first measure the leg of the frame of the hosiery garment. The measurement is carried out in such a way that the circumference of the leg is measured at each specified position of the leg. In this measurement, one measures, for example, in the area between the calf and the ankle (cane), at the beginning, center and upper end of the calf, in the area of ​​the knee and in th...
