Abstract
Abstract A circular knit, deep pile fabric simulating in appearance and texture a natural furpiece formed by seaming together animal pelts. The pile is made up of long, dark-colored fibers and short, light-colored fibers. Wale-to-wale differences in total numbers of pile fibers and in the relative proportions of two types of fibers provide color shading and texture effects simulating not only the pelts of animals but also the seaming characteristics associated with garments formed from pelts.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
A knitted pile fabric comprising mutually interlocked body yarn loops forming courses and wales, said fabric including in a coursewise pattern repeat a first narrow walewise band carrying only short, fine pile fibers of one shade; a second wider walewise band adjacent said first band carrying a mixture of said short, fine pile fibers and long, coarse pile fibers of a different shade; a third narrow walewise band adjacent said second band carrying only said long, coarse pile fibers; and a fourth walewise band narrower than said first and third bands and being disposed adjacent said first band and carrying a mixture of said short, fine pile fibers and said long, coarse pile fibers; the quantity of pile fibers in the individual wales of said first and third bands being less than the quantity of pile fibers in the individual wales of said second and fourth bands, the plural shades producing blend effects and the variation in density producing touch and lining effects simulating an assembly of natural seamed pelts.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
170 words
A knitted pile fabric comprising mutually interlocked body yarn loops forming courses and wales, said fabric including in a coursewise pattern repeat a first narrow walewise band carrying only short, fine pile fibers of one shade; a second wider walewise band adjacent said first band carrying a mixture of said short, fine pile fibers and long, coarse pile fibers of a different shade; a third narrow walewise band adjacent said second band carrying only said long, coarse pile fibers; and a fourth walewise band narrower than said first and third bands and being disposed adjacent said first band and carrying a mixture of said short, fine pile fibers and said long, coarse pile fibers; the quantity of pile fibers in the individual wales of said first and third bands being less than the quantity of pile fibers in the individual wales of said second and fourth bands, the plural shades producing blend effects and the variation in density producing touch and lining effects simulating an assembly of natural seamed pelts.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
81 words
A knitted pile fabric according to claim 1 additionally including in said coursewise pattern repeat a fifth narrow walewise band adjacent said fourth band carrying only said short, fine pile fibers; and a sixth wider walewise band adjacent said third band carrying a mixture of said short, fine pile fibers and said long, coarse pile fibers; the quantity of pile fibers in the individual wales of said fifth band being less than the quantity of pile fibers in said sixth band.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
A knitted pile fabric according to claim 2 wherein each of said first, third and fifth bands is about four wales in width, wherein each of said second and sixth bands is about eight wales in width, and wherein said fourth band is about one wale in width.
