The anti-opening portion formed by the ring pressing treatment is excellent in appearance and stretchability. However, the coils must be processed one by one, and the number of processes for forming the opening prevention portion is very large. In particular, when the length of the opening prevention portion is increased, the time for forming the opening prevention portion becomes very long.

Disclosure of Invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

An object of the present invention is to provide a knitting method of a knitted fabric capable of preventing a yarn opening at a terminal end portion in a wale direction of the knitted fabric more easily than in a bind off process. An object of the present invention is to provide a knitted fabric produced with good productivity.

Means for solving the problems

<1> a knitting method of a knitted fabric of the present invention is a knitting method of a knitted fabric using a flat knitting machine including a first needle bed and a second needle bed, and processing is performed so that a terminal end portion in a wale direction of the knitted fabric does not open, the knitting method of the knitted fabric including:

a step a of knitting the knitted fabric on the first needle bed until a middle of a wale direction of the knitted fabric in the step a, and arranging a first stitch row connected to a part of stitches of the knitted fabric on the second needle bed;

a step B of knitting the knitted fabric up to the terminal end portion in the step B; and

a step C of knitting a bonding coil array connecting the first coil array and a second coil array constituting the terminal portion by using a heat-fusible yarn,

the joined stitch row is formed by alternately knitting at least one stitch continuous in the wale direction of the first stitch row and at least one stitch continuous in the wale direction of the second stitch row.

When knitting a knitting stitch row composed of a plurality of stitches that are continuous in the knitting width direction, the first stitch row and the second stitch row may be locked to the same needle bed or may be locked to different needle beds. In the knitting of the joined coil array, for example, the following may be alternately repeated: knitting a stitch that is continuous in the wale direction of the first course, and knitting a stitch that is continuous in the wale direction of the second course. In knitting the joining coil row, the following may be alternately repeated: the method includes a step of continuously knitting a plurality of stitches that are continuous in a wale direction of a first course in a knitting width direction, and a step of continuously knitting a plurality of stitches that are continuous in a wale direction of a second course in the knitting width direction. The number of the plurality of coils continuous with the first coil array and the number of the coils continuous with the second coil array may be the same or different.

<2> one embodiment of the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention includes the following embodiments:

in the above-mentioned step C, the step C,

in a state where the first stitch row is held in the second needle bed and the second stitch row is held in the first needle bed, stitches that are continuous in the wale direction of each stitch of the first stitch row and stitches that are continuous in the wale direction of each stitch of the second stitch row are alternately knitted.

<3> one embodiment of the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention includes the following embodiments:

the method includes at least one of a step X of knitting the first stitch row using the heat-fusible yarn and a step Y of knitting the second stitch row using the heat-fusible yarn.

<4> the woven or knitted fabric of the present invention comprises:

a first coil row connected to a part of the stitches of the knitted fabric midway in a wale direction of the knitted fabric;

a second coil row constituting a terminal end portion in a wale direction of the knitted fabric; and

a joining coil row that joins the first coil row and the second coil row on a back surface side of the knitted fabric,

the joined stitch row is constituted by a plurality of stitches knitted in stitches of the first stitch row and stitches of the second stitch row,

the knitting yarn constituting the joining stitch row is a heat-fusible yarn,

the adjacent stitches in the joining stitch row are welded to each other, and the stitches in the joining stitch row are welded to the connecting yarn.

Here, the back side of the knitted fabric refers to a side hidden from the outside when the knitted fabric is used. For example, in the case where the knitted fabric of the present invention constitutes a body of a knitted fabric, the inner side of the knitted fabric is the back side of the knitted fabric.

Effects of the invention

According to the knitting method of a knitted fabric of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the end portion in the wale direction of the knitted fabric from being opened by a significantly smaller number of steps than the stitch pressing process. Specifically, by knitting stitches in the first stitch row and the second stitch row using the heat-fusible yarn, it is possible to prevent the end portion in the wale direction of the knitted fabric from being opened.

By carrying out the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the first stitch row and the second stitch row are connected by one joining stitch row composed of the heat-fusible yarn. When the knitted fabric obtained by the knitting method of the knitted fabric is subjected to heat treatment such as ironing, a part of the heat-fusible yarn is melted, and a portion where the heat-fusible yarn contacts is fused. The portions where the heat-fusible yarns are in contact with each other refer to portions where the heat-fusible yarns are in contact with each other and portions where the heat-fusible yarns are in contact with the non-heat-fusible yarns. The portions where the heat-fusible yarns contact each other include contact portions where two adjacent stitches in the stitch row are joined and contact portions where the stitches of the stitch row are joined and the connecting yarns. The connecting yarn is a portion of the joining coil array that spans the first coil array and the second coil array. By the fusion bonding produced by the above heat treatment, the knitted fabric of the present invention in which the first coil row and the second coil row are firmly joined is obtained.

According to the knitting method of a knitted fabric of the above <2>, a bonding stitch row composed of a plurality of stitches alternately knitted in the stitches of the first stitch row and the stitches of the second stitch row is knitted. In this case, the joint of the first coil row and the second coil row is finished beautifully.

According to the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the above <3>, the contact point of the heat fusion yarns with each other increases. As a result, the first coil array and the second coil array are more firmly joined.

The woven fabric of the present invention is excellent in productivity. This is because the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention knits the knitting yarn row in which the end portion in the wale direction of the knitted fabric is prevented from being opened in a very short time. Here, in the knitted fabric of the present invention, it is not necessary to weld all the stitches of the joining stitch row and all the connecting yarns. For example, a portion of the loops may not be fused to the loops or connecting yarns adjacent to the loops.

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, a knitting method of a knitted fabric and a knitted fabric of an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

< embodiment 1>

In embodiment 1, an example of a knitting method of a knitted fabric according to the present invention applied to knitting of a knitted fabric 100 shown in fig. 1 will be described. The knitted fabric 100 of this example includes a body 90, right sleeves 91, and left sleeves 92. The knitted fabric 41 constituting the front body of the body 90 and the knitted fabric 4 constituting the rear body are connected in a tubular shape. The knitwear 100 starts knitting from the hem 9L and ends knitting at the collar forming the neckline 9H. That is, the end portion of the knitted fabric 4, 41 in the wale direction is arranged at the position of the neckline 9H.

Fig. 2 is a schematic sectional view of the knitted fabric 4 near the neckline 9H. The left side in fig. 2 is the knitted fabric 41 side, i.e., the inside of the knitted fabric 100. Although not shown in the present specification, the knitted fabric 41 near the neckline 9H has a structure symmetrical to the knitted fabric 4 with the cylindrical axis of the knitwear 100 interposed therebetween. As shown in fig. 2, in the braid 4 of this example, the first coil row 1 and the second coil row 2 are joined by the joining coil row 3. The first coil array 1 is constituted by a plurality of coils. The first course 1 is connected to a part of stitches of the knitted fabric 4 in the middle of the wale direction of the knitted fabric 4. The plurality of coils constituting the first coil array 1 are arranged in the depth direction of the drawing sheet of fig. 2. The second coil array 2 is formed of a plurality of coils arranged at the end portions of the knitted fabric 4 in the wale direction. The plurality of coils constituting the second coil array 2 are also arranged in the depth direction of the drawing sheet of fig. 2. A folded portion 4E of the knitted fabric 4 extending in the wale direction from a position continuous with the first stitch row 1 is folded back from the outside to the inside of the knitted fabric 100 to be tubular. Therefore, the second coil row 2 arranged at the end portion in the wale direction of the folded portion 4E is connected to the first coil row 1 via the joining coil row 3 on the back surface side of the knitted fabric 4. The joining stitch row 3 is formed of a plurality of stitches knitted by the heat-fusion yarn 8Y. The plurality of coils constituting the bonded coil array 3 are also arranged in the depth direction of the drawing sheet of fig. 2. A specific knitting procedure of the joining stitch row 3 will be described with reference to fig. 3 and 4.

The knitting process diagrams of fig. 3 and 4 show a specific knitting process for knitting the joint stitch row 3. The flat knitting machine used in this example is a four-bed flat knitting machine. A four-needle bed flat knitting machine is provided with a lower front needle bed, a lower rear needle bed, an upper front needle bed, and an upper rear needle bed. Hereinafter, the lower front needle bed, the lower back needle bed, the upper front needle bed, and the upper back needle bed are referred to as FD, BD, FU, and BU, respectively. The FD and the BD face each other. FU disposed above FD and BU disposed above BD face each other.

The "S + number" in the left column of fig. 3 and 4 indicates the number of the knitting step. The right column shows the knitting state of the stitches in each knitting step. The black dots in the right column indicate knitting needles, and the inverted triangle marks indicate the first yarn feeder 7 or the second yarn feeder 8 provided in the flatbed knitting machine. The straight arrow indicates the transfer. The loops newly knitted in each knitting step are indicated by thick lines.

S0 in fig. 3 shows a state where the coil array 5 is latched to the BD and the coil array 51 is latched to the FD. The stitch row 5 is a stitch row located halfway in the wale direction of the knitted fabric 4 (fig. 1). The stitch row 51 is a stitch row located at a middle of the knitted fabric 41 (fig. 1) in the wale direction. The knitted fabric 4 and the knitted fabric 41 of this example are knitted with the knitting yarn 7Y supplied from the first yarn feeder 7. Knitting yarn 7Y is a non-heat-fusion yarn. The knitted fabric 4 and the knitted fabric 41 are knitted by master knit. The total needle knitting means knitting in a state where there is no empty needle between adjacent stitches.

In S1, the coil array 5 of the knitted fabric 4 engaged with the BD is divided into a first coil group and a second coil group, and the first coil group is moved to FU (corresponding to step a). The first coil group moved to FU is the first coil array 1. Since the first coil group and the second coil group are originally one coil array 5, the first coil array 1 is connected to the second coil group remaining on the BD, that is, a part of the coils of the coil array 5. When the knitted fabric 4 is used as a reference, BD is the first needle bed, and FU is the second needle bed. The coil moved to FU is the coil one coil apart in the coil array 5. The plurality of stitches moved to FU are the first stitch row 1 connected to the halfway in the wale direction of the knitted fabric 4. Unlike this example, the coils of the coil array 5 spaced by k coils may be moved toward FU, or the coils of the coil array 5 may be randomly moved toward FU. Here, k is a natural number of about 2 to 4.

In S1, the first yarn feeder 7 is further moved rightward, and the knitted fabric 4 is knitted by 1 course in the BD (part of step B). The knitting course knitted in S1 is a part of the turn-back portion 4E in fig. 2. In S2 following S1, the first coil array 1 stored in FU is returned to BD.

In S3, the stitch line 51 of the knitted fabric 41 engaged with the FD is divided into a first stitch group and a second stitch group, and the first stitch group is moved to the BU (corresponding to step a). The first coil group moved to BU is the first coil array 11. Since the first coil group and the second coil group are originally one coil array 51, the first coil array 11 is connected to the second coil group remaining at the FD, that is, a part of the coils of the coil array 51. FD is the first needle bed and BU is the second needle bed, based on the knitted fabric 41. The coils shifted to BU are coils one coil apart in the coil array 51. The plurality of stitches moved to BU are the first stitch row 11 connected to the halfway in the wale direction of the knitted fabric 41. Similarly to the case of the coil array 5 in S1, the coils of the coil array 51 moved to the BU are not limited to the coils of the coil array 51 separated by one coil.

In S3, the first yarn feeder 7 is further moved leftward to knit the knitted fabric 41 in the FD by 1 course (part of step B). In S4 following S3, the first coil row 11 stored in the BU is returned to the FD. By repeating S1 to S4 described above, the knitted fabric 41 and the knitted fabric 4 of fig. 1 are knitted up to the terminal end. The collar shape can be changed according to the number of times of repeating S1 to S4. If the number of repetitions is set to several times, the folded portion 4E is formed only in the vicinity of the upper end of the collar, and the collar prevented from being opened can be made thin. If the number of repetitions is set to about 2 times the size of the collar, a two-layered, strong collar is formed.

S5 in fig. 4 shows a locked state of the coil when S1 to S4 are repeated. As shown in fig. S5, the first coil row 1 and the second coil row 2 of the knitted fabric 4 are engaged with the BD, and the first coil row 11 and the second coil row 21 of the knitted fabric 41 are engaged with the FD. From this state, the first coil row 1 of the braid 4 is connected to the second coil row 2, and the first coil row 11 of the braid 41 is connected to the second coil row 21.

In S6, the second coil row 2 of the braid 4 is moved toward FU. Next, the second yarn feeder 8 that supplies the heat-fusible yarn 8Y is moved rightward to alternately knit the stitches that are continuous in the wale direction of the stitches of the first stitch row 1 and the stitches that are continuous in the wale direction of the stitches of the second stitch row 2 (corresponding to step C). By this S6, the bonding stitch row 3 connecting the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 is knitted. By such knitting, the joining stitch row 3 is easily arranged inside the cylindrical shape of the folded portion 4E shown in fig. 2. As a result, the knitting yarn row 3 does not protrude toward the inner side of the knitted fabric 100, that is, the neckline 9H side, and therefore the wearing feeling of the knitted fabric 100 is improved. Unlike this example, the first stitch row 1 may be moved toward FU to knit the joint stitch row 3. In S7 following S6, the coil of the bonding coil array 3 engaged with FU among the bonding coil arrays 3 is moved to BD.

After S6, a new bonding stitch row 3 may be continuously knitted in the wale direction of the bonding stitch row 3 of S6 by using the heat-fusion yarn 8Y, or a tubular stitch row may be continuously knitted in the wale direction of the bonding stitch row 3 of S6. This additional knitting can be performed in the same manner in S8 described later. By knitting the new bonding stitch row 3 and the tubular stitch row, the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 are firmly prevented from being opened. In this case, if the thin heat-fusible yarn 8Y is used as the heat-fusible yarn 8Y, the increase in thickness of the portion where the yarn is prevented from being opened can be suppressed.

The heat-fusible yarn 8Y includes, for example, a heat-fusible yarn 8Y including a core portion and a sheath portion. The core is a braided yarn composed of a material that shrinks due to heat. The sheath portion is made of a sheath-like material having a melting point lower than that of the core portion, and covers the outer periphery of the core portion. The heat-fusible yarn 8Y may be made of the same material. The material of the heat-fusible yarn 8Y is preferably a material capable of ensuring stretchability even after heat treatment.

In S8, the second coil row 21 of the knitted fabric 41 is moved to BU. Next, the second yarn feeder 8 that supplies the heat-fusible yarn 8Y is moved leftward to alternately knit the stitches that are continuous in the wale direction of the stitches of the first stitch row 11 and the stitches that are continuous in the wale direction of the stitches of the second stitch row 21 (corresponding to step C). By this S8, the bonding stitch row 31 connecting the first stitch row 11 and the second stitch row 21 is knitted. In S9 following S8, the coil of the bonding coil array 31 engaged with BU among the bonding coil arrays 31 is moved to FD. Here, S6 to S9 may be repeated after S9.

After S9, the knitted fabric 100 (fig. 1) is removed from the needle bed while maintaining the stitch shape of the joined courses 3 and 31, for example, by performing a bag knitting using split course yarns. The split course yarn is a knitting yarn to be taken off later and is composed of a non-heat-fusion yarn.

According to the knitting method of the knitted fabric of this example, the number of knitting steps does not increase regardless of how long the circumferential length of the neckline 9H shown in fig. 1 becomes. On the other hand, in the case where the open prevention is performed by the bind-off process as in the knitting method of the conventional knitted fabric, the longer the circumferential length of the neckline 9H, the more the number of knitting steps increases.

Next, the state of the stitches near the joining stitch row 3 in the knitted fabric 4 of the knitted fabric 100 will be described based on the stitch diagram of fig. 5. Fig. 5 shows a state in which the knitted fabric 4 shown in fig. 2 is viewed from the inside of the knitted fabric 100. In fig. 5, a portion knitted with the heat-fusible yarn 8Y (see fig. 3 and 4) is indicated by a thick line. The two-dot chain line arrow indicates the connection in the wale direction of the knitted fabric 4. As shown in fig. 5, the first coil array 1 and the second coil array 2 are connected by a bonding coil array 3. As shown in fig. 2, the folded-back portion 4E of the knitted fabric 4 is folded back toward the inside of the knitted fabric 100. Therefore, the direction of the stitches of the second stitch row 2 aligned at the end portion in the wale direction of the knitted fabric 4 is opposite to the direction of the stitches of the first stitch row 1. In the bonding coil array 3, there are no overlapping coils like the joint portion in the ring-pressing process, and no coils continuous in the wale direction of the overlapping coils. Although not shown in the drawings, the knitted fabric 41 of the knitted fabric 100 also has the same structure as the coil diagram of the knitted fabric 4 shown in fig. 5.

The joint coil array 3 is formed alternately in the coils of the first coil array 1 and the coils of the second coil array 2. Therefore, the joining stitch row 3 includes a plurality of connecting yarns 3c. The connecting yarn 3c is a part of the joining stitch row 3 that crosses the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2. In fig. 5, for convenience of explanation, two adjacent stitches in the knitting width direction in the joining stitch row 3 and the stitch and the connecting yarn 3c adjacent to the stitch are shown in a state of being separated from each other. In the actual knitted fabric 100, since each stitch of the engaged row 3 contracts, two stitches are in contact with each other in at least some of the groups consisting of two adjacent stitches, or in all of the groups in some cases. In at least a part of the group consisting of the stitches and the connecting yarns 3c, and in all the groups in some cases, the stitches are in contact with the connecting yarns 3c. The portion where the heat-fusible yarn 8Y contacts is highly likely to be fused.

The stitches of the engaged row 3 are all back stitches when viewed from the inside of the tubular knitted fabric 100. The back side coil is a coil drawn from the old coil from the near side toward the far side. The reason why the bonded stitch row 3 is knitted after the stitches of the second stitch row 2 (see S5) are moved to FU in S6 of fig. 4 is to make the stitches of the bonded stitch row 3 continuous in the wale direction of the second stitch row 2 in fig. 5 be reverse stitches. If all the stitches of the engaged row 3 become back stitches when viewed from the inside of the knitted fabric 100, the engaged row 3 can be suppressed from protruding to the inside of the knitted fabric 100. As a result, the wearing feeling of the knitted fabric 100 is improved.

The knitwear 100 of the present example is provided with an iron or the like to be beautiful. By the heat of the iron, a part of the thermal fusion yarn 8Y is melted, and the coil or connecting yarn 3c of the bonding coil array 3 is fused. More specifically, the two adjacent stitches in the knitting width direction of the joining stitch row 3 are welded at a portion where they contact each other. Further, the loops in the joining loop array 3 are welded to the portions where the connecting yarns 3c close to the loops come into contact. Further, a portion where the sinker loop of the bonding coil array 3 contacts the coil of the first coil array 1 and a portion where the sinker loop of the bonding coil array 3 contacts the second coil array 2 may be welded. As a result, the heat-fusible yarn 8Y constituting the joining coil array 3 is hard to move, and the joining coil array 3 is hard to be unwound. Here, the split course yarn may be removed before or after the heat treatment. If the knitting yarn is a water-soluble separation course yarn, the separation course yarn is dissolved and removed from the knitted fabric 100 in washing before shipment of the knitted fabric 100.

The joining coil array 3 having the welded state described above has a predetermined stretchability in the knitting width direction. This is because the connecting yarn 3c crossing between the first coil array 1 and the second coil array 2 in the joining coil array 3 allows movement of the joining coil array 3 in the knitting width direction. If the heat-fusible yarn 8Y has high stretchability, the stretchability of the bonding coil array 3 is further improved.

< embodiment 2>

In embodiment 2, an example in which the first stitch row 1 is knitted with the heat-fusible yarn 8Y will be described with reference to fig. 6. The view of fig. 6 is the same as fig. 3 and 4. The "T + number" in the left column of fig. 6 indicates the number of knitting steps. The substantially V-shaped mark in fig. 6 indicates a tuck.

T0 of fig. 6 is the same as S0 of fig. 3. From this state, the first stitch rows 1 and 11 are knitted with the heat-fusible yarn 8Y.

At T1, a part of the coils of the coil array 5 locked to the BD is moved toward FU. The plurality of coils constituting the coil array 5 are separately clamped to the BD and FU. The coil moved to FU is the coil one coil apart in the coil array 5. In T1, the second yarn feeder 8 is further moved rightward to alternately knit the stitches continuing in the wale direction of the stitch held in FU and the tuck overlapping the stitch held in BD (corresponding to step X). The loops knitted in FU are the loops of the first stitch row 1 constituted by the heat-fusible yarn 8Y. On the other hand, tucks knitted in BD connect the first stitch row 1 with the knitted fabric 4. Therefore, the first wale 1 continuing to the middle of the knitted fabric 4 in the wale direction is knitted by the T1.

At T2, the first coil array 1 locked to FU is moved to BD, and a part of the coils of the coil array 51 locked to FD is moved to BU. The plurality of coils constituting the coil array 51 are separately engaged with the FD and the BU. The coils shifted to BU are coils one coil apart in the coil array 51. At T2, the second yarn feeder 8 is further moved leftward to alternately knit the stitches continuing in the wale direction of the stitch held in BU and the tuck overlapping with the stitch held in FD (corresponding to step X). The loops knitted in BU are the first row of loops 11 made of heat-fusible yarn 8Y. On the other hand, tucks knitted in FD connect the first stitch row 11 with the knitted fabric 41. Therefore, the first stitch row 11 continuing to the middle of the knitted fabric 41 in the wale direction is knitted by the T2.

At T3, the first coil row 11 locked in the BU is moved to FD. As shown in T3, the stitches of the first stitch row 1 and the stitches of the knitted fabric 4 are alternately locked to the BD in the knitting width direction, and the stitches of the first stitch row 11 and the stitches of the knitted fabric 41 are alternately locked to the FD in the knitting width direction. After T3, knitting is performed in S1 in fig. 3 to S9 in fig. 4.

According to the knitting of this example, the first stitch row 1 shown in fig. 5 is formed of the heat-fusible yarn 8Y. In this case, the contact portion between the first coil array 1 and the joining coil array 3 is the joining of the heat-fusible yarns 8Y. Therefore, the connected coil array 3 is less likely to be opened.

< embodiment 3>

In addition to the knitting of embodiment 1 or the knitting of embodiment 2, the second stitch row 2 shown in fig. 5 may be knitted with the heat-fusible yarn 8Y (corresponding to step Y). For example, after S5 in fig. 4, a new second stitch row 2, 21 is knitted by continuously performing tubular knitting or the like in the wale direction of the second stitch row 2, 21 using the second yarn feeder 8. According to this knitting, the second stitch row 2 shown in fig. 5 is constituted by the heat-fusible yarn 8Y. In this case, the contact portion between the second coil array 2 and the bonding coil array 3 is the joint of the heat-fusible yarns 8Y. Therefore, the connected coil array 3 is less likely to be opened.

< other embodiment >

The first coil row 1 may be a coil row branched from the middle of the knitted fabric 4 in the wale direction. For example, after S0, the stitches adjacent in the knitting width direction are overlapped with each other, and the knitted fabric 4 is set to the miss state. The needle-off state is a state in which an empty needle is disposed between adjacent stitches. Next, a step of knitting a pick-up stitch in an empty needle formed when the knitted fabric 4 is set to the miss state and a step of knitting a stitch continuous in the wale direction of the overlapped stitch are repeated. In this case, the hanging coil is the first coil array 1. The stitches that continue in the wale direction of the overlapped stitches are the stitches connecting the first stitch row 1 and the knitted fabric 4.

The flat knitting machine used in the knitting method of a knitted fabric of the present invention may be a two-bed flat knitting machine. In this case, the knitted fabrics 4, 41 are knitted in a needle-off state.

The knitwear 100 provided with the knitted fabric 4 may be, for example, pants. In this case, if the number of repetitions of S1 to S4 is increased, it is also possible to form the belt holes in the pants. The knitted product including the knitted fabric 4 may be an industrial material such as a sofa cover. The knit product including the knitted fabric 4 may be a single-layer knitted fabric other than a tubular knitted fabric.
