While a tubular base portion 1 is knitted over k rows using a base thread guide 8 in a flat knitting machine, a wire guide 9 is reciprocated once to weave a wire 9Y into a front base portion 1F in the tubular base portion in an mth row and to weave the wire 9Y into a back base portion 1B in the tubular base portion 1 in an n-th row, where k is a natural number greater than or equal to two, m is a natural number greater than or equal to one and less than or equal to k, and n a natural number is greater than or equal to one and less than or equal to k and is not equal to m.

Description

[Technical area]

The present invention relates to a method for knitting a tubular knit, in which a vein is woven into a tubular base portion.

[Description of the Related Art]

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method of knitting a tubular knitted fabric in which an elastic thread (hereinafter also called a wire or a wire) is woven into a part adjacent to an insertion opening of a glove to provide extensibility to the insertion opening. The interweaving of the elastic thread into the adjacent part may, for example, be carried out using a tuck or inlay knit.

When the wire is woven into the tubular base portion, the wire is woven into only one row at a time while knitting plural rows of the tubular base portion. The reason for this is that when weaving an elastic thread as the wire, the stretchability of the hose knit can become too strong if the amount of the elastic thread is too large.

When the wire is woven for only one row at a time over several rows, usually in the knit pattern diagram of FIG 4 shown knitting performed. 4 (A) shows a state in which a tubular base portion 1 using a basic thread guide 8th , the one basic knitting thread 8Y feeding, knitting and a tubular insertion section 5 with a tubular in a front base part 1F and a rear base part 1B of the tubular base section 1 woven wire 9Y is formed. A wire guide 9 who has a wire 9Y feeds, stands on an outer side of the tubular base portion 1 ready. Out of this state become the knitting of the tubular base section 1 over several rows (see 4 (B) ) and forming the tubular insertion portion 5 in which the wire 9Y tubular in the tubular base section 1 is woven (see 4 (C) ), repeated.

Summary of the Invention

[Problem of the invention]

In the conventional knitting method of 4 is a crossover thread 4 , the nth tubular insertion section 5 with an n + 1-th tubular insertion section 5 connects, on the outside of the tubular base portion 1 arranged. The crossover thread 4 becomes longer when the number of rows of the tubular base portion 1 between the tubular insertion sections 5 becomes larger in the wale direction to each other, whereby the appearance of the knitted fabric is impaired.

The present invention addresses the aforementioned circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a method of knitting a tubular knit fabric in which a tubular base portion is knitted over a plurality of rows and prevented from being knitted in a wale direction at the Outside of the tubular base portion protruding crossover thread protrudes when the wire is woven into the tubular base portion.

[Troubleshooting]

The present invention is a method for knitting a tubular knit using a flat knitting machine comprising a front needle bed and a rear needle bed opposed to each other in a front-rear direction, a base yarn guide feeding a base knitting yarn, and a wire guide feeding a wire, wherein a tubular base portion configured by a front base part knitted with the front needle bed and a rear base part knitted with the rear needle bed is knitted over a plurality of rows and the wire is woven into the tubular base portion. While according to the method of knitting a hose knit of the present invention, the tubular base portion is knitted over k rows using the base thread guide, the wire guide is once reciprocated to move the wire into the front base portion in the tubular base portion in the mth Weave series and weave the wire in the rear base part in the tubular base portion in the n-th row.

Assume here that k is a natural number greater than or equal to two, m is a natural number greater than or equal to one and less than or equal to k, and n is a natural number greater than or equal to one and less than or equal to k and unequal to m. For example, if k = 4, then m = 2 and n = 4 or m = 4 and n = 2. And if k = 2 then m = 1 and n = 2 or m = 2 and n = 1.

According to one aspect of the method of knitting a tubular knit of the present invention, a knitting operation for moving the wire guide on the crossing side to the non-crossing side and weaving the wire into the tubular base section is performed when the base thread guide is on the non-crossing side located. The "crossing side" is a side on which the wire extending from the wire guide crosses the base thread extending from the base thread guide when the wire guide is moved from a state in which the base thread guide and the wire guide are on an outer side of the tubular base portion on the same side in a knitting width direction of the tubular base portion. And the "non-crossing side" is a side on which the wire extending from the wire guide does not cross the base knitting yarn extending from the base thread guide.

According to another aspect of the method of knitting a hose knit of the present invention, when the wire guide is moved and the wire is woven into the tubular base portion, the wire is caught at an end mesh at an end side in a direction of movement of the wire guide in the tubular base portion.

In another aspect of the method of knitting a knit of the present invention, k is less than or equal to four.

Effect of the Invention

In the method of knitting a tubular knitted fabric of the present invention, a tubular knit in which the wire is spirally woven into the tubular base portion can be knitted by placing the wire in the front base portion in the m-th row and in the rear base portion in the n -th row is woven while the tubular base section is knitted over k rows. The crossover thread crossing in the wale direction on the outside of the tubular base portion is assigned to the left side and the right side in the knitting width direction of the tubular base portion by spirally weaving the wire into the tubular base portion as described above. That is, in the conventional method for knitting a tubular knit, the cross-thread deflected to a side in the knitting width direction of the tubular base portion is assigned to the left and right in the knitting width direction, and thus in the method of knitting a tubular knit of the present invention the crossover thread becomes shorter than the crossover thread in the conventional method. As a result, protrusion of the crossover thread in the tubular base portion can be suppressed.

According to the method of knitting a hose knit of the present invention, the moving order of the wire guide and the base thread guide is adjusted so that the wire extending from the wire guide does not cross the base knitting thread extending from the base thread guide on the crossing side, so that the crossing thread on the crossing side is less likely to protrude in the tubular base section.

According to the method of knitting a knit of the present invention, the wire is caught on the end mesh on one end side in the direction of movement of the wire guide in the tubular base portion, so that the cross-over thread is less likely to project on the end side in the tubular base portion.

In the method of knitting a knitted fabric of the present invention, it can be ensured that the crossover thread in the tubular base portion is hardly visible by providing the number of rows (k) of the tubular base portion equal to or smaller than four.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Embodiments of the method of knitting a knit according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the embodiments, a knitting example is described in which a twin-flat knitting machine is used which includes a front needle bed (hereinafter referred to as FB) and a rear needle bed (hereinafter referred to as BB) extending in a transverse direction and one another in front Opposite direction, the BB can be offset in the transverse direction. Of course, the flat knitting machine to be used is not limited to a twin flat knitting machine, which could be a four bed flat knitting machine.

<First Embodiment>

In a first embodiment, a method for knitting a tubular knit of the present invention will be described with reference to the knit pattern diagram of FIG 1 described. Specifically, an example of knitting a tubular base portion over a plurality of rows using a base yarn guide feeding a base knitting yarn and for spirally weaving an elastic knitting yarn (wire) into the tubular base portion over a plurality of rows will be described.

In 1 (A) becomes a tubular base section 1 over at least one row by hose knitting using a base yarn guide 8th , the one basic knitting thread 8Y feeds, knits. The tubular base section 1 includes a front base member knitted with the FB (not shown) 1F and a rear base member knitted with the BB (not shown) 1B which are connected in a tubular manner. Although in 1 (A) not shown, a condition is obtained in which one of a wire guide 9 supplied elastic knitting thread (wire 9Y ) is woven into the tubular fabric.

In 1 (B) becomes the wire guide 9 moves to the right in the drawing plane and becomes the wire 9Y in the back base part 1B in the 1 (A) knitted tubular base section 1 woven. For weaving in the wire 9Y in the tubular base section 1 can be a knitting to catch the wire 9Y on the mesh of the rear base part 1B and an insert knit to enclose the wire 9Y between the stitches of the back base 1B be used. If also an insert knitting is used, the wire becomes 9Y preferably with the rear base part 1B by catching at one end in a direction of movement of the wire guide 9 connected.

In 1 (C) becomes the tubular base section 1 over at least one row by hose knitting using the base yarn guide 8th knitted. In this case, the wire guide stands 9 on the outside of the tubular base section 1 ready.

In 1 (D) becomes the wire guide 9 moves in a left direction and becomes the wire 9Y in the front base part 1F in the 1 (C) knitted tubular base section 1 woven.

According to the procedure described above, a spiral insertion portion becomes 2 formed in which a rear insertion part 2 B (please refer 1 (B) ), which is in the rear base part 1B of in 1 (A) knitted tubular base section 1 woven in, and a front insertion part 2F (please refer 1 (D) ), in the front base part 1F of in 1 (C) knitted tubular base section 1 woven into a spiral shape. As a result, the crossover threads 4 . 4 in the wale direction on the outside of the tubular base portion 1 crossing, the left side and the right side in the knitting width direction of the tubular base portion 1 be assigned to. The crossover threads assigned to the left and right sides 4 . 4 are shorter than the conventional crossover thread 4 from 4 so they are less likely to stick out.

When in 1 (D) and then the tubular base section 1 continues to knit over several rows and the wire 9Y in the tubular base section 1 can be knitting by knitting 1 (A) to 1 (D) be repeated. In such a repetition, the number of rows of the tubular base portion 1 be changed. For example, if the number of rows of the tubular base section 1 gradually reduced, can be a tubular knit, in which the tightening by the elastic thread (wire 9Y ) becomes stronger toward the upper side in the wale direction. In contrast, when the number of rows of the tubular base portion 1 gradually increased, can be a tubular knit, in which the tightening by the elastic thread (wire 9Y ) becomes weaker to the upper side in the wale direction.

The above-described method for knitting a tubular knit can be applied to various tubular knits. For example, the tubular fabric may be a part adjacent to the insertion opening of a sock, a part in the vicinity of the insertion opening of a glove, a part adjacent to a cuff of a knitwear such as a pullover, etc.

Further, the wire used in the method for knitting the tubular knit is 9Y not limited to an elastic knitting thread. For example, the wire 9Y a knit yarn with a high strength that is less likely to stretch and an elongation of the tubular base portion 1 suppressed. The material of the wire 9Y can be chosen depending on the purpose for which the wire 9Y in the tubular base section 1 is woven. For example, the material of the wire 9Y Wool or silk, cotton, acrylic, rayon, nylon, polyester, aramid, polypropylene, carbon fiber, metal (including alloys), etc. included.

<Second Embodiment>

A sticking out of the wire 9Y in the tube knit can be further suppressed by, in addition to changing the position in the wale direction for weaving in the front insertion part 2F and the rear insertion part 2 B the spiral insertion section 2 the first embodiment, the time to move the wire guide 9 is set. In the second embodiment, a specific method will be described with reference to the knitting process diagrams of FIG 2 and 3 described.

"S + number" in the left column in the knitting process diagrams of 2 and 3 indicates a step number of the knitting process, while a held state of the stitches in each knitting process is shown in the right column. Black dots in the right column indicate the knitting needles arranged in the FB and the BB, while circles indicate stitches and the capital letters A to F represent the positions of the knitting needles. In the knitting process diagrams, a thread guide on the FB side is in the opposite direction of the FB and BB for the base thread guide 8th used the basic knitting thread 8Y feeds and becomes a yarn guide on the BB side with respect to the base yarn guide 8th in the opposite direction than the wire guide 9 used the wire 9Y supplies.

When the basic thread guide 8th and the wire guide 9 on the outside of the tubular base section 1 on the same side of the knit width direction (corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the needle bed) of the tubular base portion 1 and the wire guide 9 is moved from this state to the spiral insertion portion 2 to knit, it intersects with the wire guide 9 extending wire 9Y different from the basic thread guide 8th extending base knitting thread 8Y and get caught up. When the knitting in the clockwise direction is performed by repeating the knitting from the left side to the right side in the drawing plane of the BB and the knitting from the right side to the left side of the FB, and the base thread guide 8th located at the right end when the wire guide 9 moved from the right side to the left side to the spiral insertion section 2 (front insertion part 2F ) to knit, cross the wire 9Y and the basic knitting thread 8Y each other. The wire 9Y and the basic knitting thread 8Y do not cross each other at the left end when the wire guide 9 emotional. That is, in this example, the right end in the knitting width direction of the tubular base portion 1 the "crossing side" is and the left end is the "non-crossing side". Such crossing may cause the wire 9Y to the other side of the tubular base section 1 crosses and that the wire 9Y (Crossover thread 4 ) stands out. In the knitting processes described above, the time for moving the wire guide becomes 9 set to solve the problem of crossing. The knitting direction of the tubular base portion 1 in this example, the direction is clockwise, but it could also be counterclockwise.

S1 becomes the basic thread guide 8th moves in the left direction in the drawing plane and becomes the front base part 1F knitted on the knitting needles F, E, D, C, B, A of the FB; and S2 becomes the basic thread guide 8th moves in the right direction and becomes the rear base part 1B knitted on knitting needles A, B, C, D, E and F of BB. The tubular base section 1 is knit over a row in S1, S2.

In S3, the basic thread guide 8th moves in the left direction and becomes the front base part 1F the second row knitted on the knitting needles F, E, D, C, B, A of the FB. The rear base part held on the BB 1B is for the tubular base section 1 the first row provided.

In S4 becomes the wire guide 9 in the right direction, and catching is performed on the knitting needles B, D, F of the BB. The rear insertion part 2 B in which the wire 9Y in the back base part 1B of the tubular base section 1 woven in the first row is formed by S4. At the beginning of the movement of the wire guide 9 in the right direction becomes the basic thread guide 8th at the left end as well as the wire guide 9 arranged, however, which is different from the wire guide 9 extending wire 9Y different from the basic thread guide 8th extending base knitting thread 8Y even then does not cross when the wire guide 9 to is moved to the right, because the wire guide 9 on the BB side with respect to the base yarn guide 8th located. However, the wire is crossing 9Y the crossover thread, which is the front base part 1F and the rear base part 1B combines. The crossover thread is formed in S2.

The last catching carried out in S4 is preferably carried out on the final mesh 3 (see S3) of the rear base part 1B in the direction of progress of the wire guide 9 , That is, the catching is preferably performed on the knitting needles B, D, F of the BB, instead of performing the catching on the knitting needles A, C, E of the BB. The reason for this will be described below.

In S5, the basic thread guide 8th moves in the right direction and becomes the rear base part 1B the second row knitted on the knitting needles A, B, C, D, E and F of the BB. In this case, the tuck stitch formed on the knitting needle F of the BB in S4 is removed from the knitting needle F when the knitting needle F becomes a needle bed nip for knitting the back base 1B progresses. The reason for this is that the right side of the tuck stitch in the drawing plane is directly connected to the wire guide 9 is connected and a tension acts on the Fangmasche. On the other hand, when catching is performed on the knitting needles A, C, E of the BB in S4, the tuck stitch of the knitting needle E is not removed from the knitting needle E.

The wire removed in S5 from the knitting needle F of the BB 9Y crosses above the basic knitting thread 8Y connecting the knitting needle F of the BB with the knitting needle F of the FB. When the catching on the knitting needles A, C, E of the BB is performed in S4, it intersects with the wire guide 9 extending wire 9Y below the basic knitting thread 8Y connecting the knitting needle F of the BB with the knitting needle F of the FB. So if catching in S4 with respect to the final stitch 3 is performed by S3, the position of the wire shifts 9Y up a row at the border between the front base part 1F and the rear base part 1B , As a result, the crossed thread formed on the right side 4 (please refer 1 (D) ) becomes one row shorter so that the crossover thread 4 less likely to stand out.

In S6, the basic thread guide 8th moves in the left direction and becomes the front base part 1F the third row knitted; and S7 becomes the basic thread guide 8th moves in the right direction and becomes the rear base part 1B the third row knitted.

In S8 of 3 becomes the basic thread guide 8th moves in the left direction and becomes the front base part 1F the fourth row knitted. In this embodiment, the front insertion part becomes 2F from 1 (D) in the front base part 1F formed the fourth row.

If as described at the beginning of this embodiment, the basic yarn guide 8th on the right as well as the wire guide 9 located, and the wire guide 9 is moved from the right side to the left side, which intersects with the wire guide 9 extending wire 9Y different from the basic thread guide 8th extending base knitting thread 8Y , Therefore, in S9 the wire guide 9 moves in the left direction while getting the base yarn guide 8th on the left side, and catching is performed on the knitting needles E, C, A of the FB. By avoiding the crossing, there is a confusion of stitches at the border between the front base part 1F and the rear base part 1B suppressed, so that a protrusion of the cross-over thread 4 can be suppressed at the border.

Also in S9, the tuck stitch is preferably at the end stitch 3 (see S8) of the front base 1F in the direction of progress of the wire guide 9 formed similar to S4.

In S10, the basic thread guide 8th moves in the right direction and becomes the rear base part 1B the fourth row knitted. According to S1 to S10, the spiral insertion portion 2 are formed for a round each time the tubular base section 1 knitted over four rows. And if the tubular base section 1 is knitted over several rows and the spiral insertion section 2 in the several rows comprehensive tubular base section 1 is woven, first becomes the tubular base section 1 the first row as shown in S11 and S12 knitted.

<Third Embodiment>

In the second embodiment, an example was described in which the base yarn guide 8th arranged on the FB page and the wire guide 9 is arranged on the BB side, wherein the tubular base section 1 and the spiral insertion portion 2 to be knit in the clockwise direction. In contrast, in the third embodiment, examples are described in which the positional relationship between the base yarn guide 8th and the wire guide 9 and the circular direction of the tubular base portion 1 and the spiral insertion portion 2 are different.

<< 3-1 >>

When knitting in the clockwise direction is performed while the base thread guide 8th is located on the BB side and the wire guides 9 arranged on the FB page, the left side is in the drawing plane of 2 and 3 to the cruising side. So if the wire guide 9 is moved from the left side to the right side to the spiral insertion section 2 knitting at the BB becomes the wire guide 9 preferably moves while the base yarn guide 8th located on the non-crossing side on the right.

<< 3-2 >>

When knitting in the counterclockwise direction is performed while the base thread guide 8th arranged on the FB page and the wire guide 9 Located on the BB side, the left side is in the drawing plane of 2 and 3 to the cruising side. So if the wire guide 9 is moved from the left side to the right side to the spiral insertion section 2 At the FB, the wire guide becomes 9 preferably moves while the base yarn guide 8th located on the non-crossing side on the right.

<< 3-3 >>

When knitting in the counterclockwise direction is performed while the base thread guide 8th arranged on the BB side and the wire guide 9 located on the FB page, the right side is in the drawing plane of 2 and 3 to the cruising side. So if the wire guide 9 is moved from the right side to the left side to the spiral insertion section 2 knitting at the BB becomes the wire guide 9 preferably moves while the base yarn guide 8th located on the non-intersecting side on the left side in the drawing plane.

Regardless of which of the above-described procedures is performed, the catching is preferably made on the end mesh on the end side in the direction of movement of the wire guide 9 in the tubular base section 1 performed when the wire guide 9 is moved to the spiral insertion section 2 to knit.
