20140238085 | COMPRESSION SHIRT - A compression shirt operable to apply compression to the torso of a wearer. The compression shirt broadly includes a knitted tubular fabric receptacle to be received on the torso of the wearer. The receptacle is knitted of core-spun yarn. The receptacle is generally undersized in an unstretched condition relative to the torso, such that the receptacle is resiliently stretched when the shirt is donned to thereby apply a compressive force to the torso. The receptacle includes integrally knitted front and back sections that cooperatively form a pair of spaced apart shoulder caps. The receptacle includes a neck opening and a pair of arm openings. | 08-28-2014 |
20110146352 | Gradient Compression Article Knitted Using Corespun Yarns - A gradient compression article with therapeutic and aesthetic properties broadly includes a limb-receiving section extending continuously between a distal end and an open proximal end thereof. The limb-receiving section includes a tubular distal portion and a tubular proximal portion. The limb-receiving section is knitted at least substantially of a core-spun yarn with an elastomeric core and a twisted fiber sheath and includes elastomeric threads integrated into the stretch yarn knitting. The limb-receiving section further presents a gradient region that extends from a distal location adjacent the distal end to a proximal location adjacent the proximal end, with a property of the article changing progressively along the gradient region to provide compression that decreases progressively from the distal location to the proximal location when the article is donned. | 06-23-2011 |
20100005568 | GRADIENT COMPRESSION HOSIERY KNITTED USING CORESPUN YARNS - Gradient compression hosiery with therapeutic and aesthetic properties broadly includes a stocking section extending continuously between a distal end and an open proximal end thereof. The stocking section includes a tubular foot portion and a tubular leg portion. The stocking section is knitted at least substantially of a core-spun yarn with an elastomeric core and a twisted fiber sheath and includes elastomeric threads integrated into the stretch yarn knitting. The stocking section further presents a gradient region that extends from a distal location adjacent the distal end to a proximal location adjacent the proximal end, with a property of the hosiery changing progressively along the gradient region to provide compression that decreases progressively from the distal location to the proximal location when the hosiery is donned. | 01-14-2010 |
