Manufacture of elastic girdles

Claim 1

THE METHOD OF PRODUCING ELASTIC SEAMLESS GIRDLES OF THE MOLDED TUBULAR TYPE HAVING A MOLDED NETWORK OF MULTIPLE SMALL HOLES TO PROVIDE A HIGH DEGREE OF POROSITY WHICH COMPRISES ROTATING ABOUT A VERTICAL AXIS AN ENDLESS PERFORATE STRUCTURE HAVING THE SHAPE DESIRED FOR THE GIRDLE AND CHARACTERIZED BY A MULTIPLICITY OF SMALL CLOSELY SPACED OPENINGS DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE MAJOR PORTION OF THE ENDLESS STRUCTURE, MOVING A STREAM OF ATOMIZED UNCOAGULATED LATEX AXIALLY OF AND DIRECTED TOWARD THE ENDLESS STRUCTURE FIRST IN ONE DIRECTION AND THEN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND CONCURRENTLY INTRODUCING AN UNDULATING MOVEMENT TO THE STREAM OF LATEX IN DIRECTIONS GENERALLY NORMAL TO ITS AXIAL MOVEMENT PROGRESSIVELY TO COAT THE SOLID PORTIONS OF THE ENDLESS STRUCTURE WITH CONCURRENT PASSAGE THROUGH THE MULTIPLICITY OF OPENINGS OF THE UNCOAGULATED LATEX, COLLECTING THE LATEX PASSING THROUGH THE MULTIPLICITY OF OPENINGS BEFORE IT REACHES THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ENDLESS STRUCTURE, APPLYING HEAT TO A SEGMENT OF THE ENDLESS STRUCTURE COEXTENSIVE WITH ITS LENGTH AND IN A REGION GENERALLY OPPOSITE THE ZONE OF APPLICATION OF THE LATEX TO THE ENDLESS STRUCTURE TO INITIATE COAGULATION AND VULCANIZATION OF THE PERFORATE COATING OF LATEX ON THE ENDLESS STRUCTURE, AND THEREAFTER STRIPPING FROM THE ENDLESS STRUCTURE A SEAMLESS GIRDLE OF VULCANIZED LATEX OF SUBSTANTIAL STRENGTH AND CHARACTERIZED BY ITS HIGH DEGREE OF POROSITY.
