ELASTIC BANDAGE OR HOSIERY, AND TEXTILE MATERIAL FOR USE IN SUCH AN ELASTIC BANDAGE OR HOSIERY

摘要

An elastic hosiery formed of a stretchable elastic textile material, wherein the elastic textile material has the elastic property that when a length of unstretched material is stretched to different circumferential lengths, with different yield rates, the pressure exerted by such different circumferential lengths having the same length of unstretched elastic material varies less than 30% over a range of approximately circular circumferences providing a range of yield rates from λ₁ to λ₂, wherein λ₂/λ₁
