An automatic circular knitting machine for the manufacture of sports socks which, when turned inside out after being knitted up, display when worn a leg section with a standard appearance in which more than half the stitches consist of plain stitches and the foot section is completely formed in plain machine knit with the reverse of the machine knit on the outside, the knitting machine consisting of an upper cylinder (2) and a lower cylinder (3) set vertically between which is provided a small space for a guard plate (4) and in which there are grooves to guide the needles (5) which are driven by plates (6) coming from a control drum, the grooves of the two cylinders being opposite each other so that each needle, which has a small hook at each end, may be used either at the level of the upper cylinder or at the level of the lower cylinder, and may pass from one cylinder to the other, the upper cylinder being fitted with little plates (18) which facilitate the taking down of the yarn, means (8) being provided to ensure the guidance of the yarn when this yarn is brought to the upper cylinder and cylinders being provided to exert a pull on the yarn coming out from the lower part of the knitting machine, this knitting machine being characterized in that it further consists of means enabling the support for the little plates (18) which are linked to the upper cylinder (2) to be lowered in such a way that these little plates are at the usual level for taking the knitting yarn (7) and in that the means (8) for the guidance of the yarn when this yarn is brought to the upper cylinder (2) are arranged so that the yarn (7) coming out from the aforesaid means may come tangentially to the guard plate (4) at a point situated between the outlet of the means for guidance and the point where the needles make possible the taking of the yarn (7), these various contrivances being set to work when the leg part of the sock is being knitted up.

Description

La présente invention concerne un métier à tricoter circulaire automatique permettant de réaliser une chaussette de sport dont la jambe présente un aspect côte classique selon lequel plus de la moitié des mailles est constituée de mailles endroit et dont la totalité du pied, réalisée en jersey uni, présente la face envers du jersey à l'extérieur.The present invention relates to an automatic circular knitting machine making it possible to produce a sports sock, the leg of which has a classic rib appearance, according to which more than half of the stitches are made up of knitted stitches and the entire foot of which is made of plain jersey, presents the reverse side of the jersey on the outside.

L'utilisateur dispose ainsi d'une chaussette qui, tout en conservant un aspect esthétique satisfaisant en raison de l'aspect de la jambe, présente des propriétés de confort au porteur accrues puisque la partie du pied qui est au contact de la peau est constituée par la face endroit du jersey uni. De plus, la face envers du jersey se trouvant au contact direct de l'intérieur de la chaussure évité, du fait même de son relief, un glissement du pied de l'utilisateur pendant la marche.The user thus has a sock which, while retaining a satisfactory aesthetic appearance due to the appearance of the leg, has increased comfort properties for the wearer since the part of the foot which is in contact with the skin is made up by the right side of the solid jersey. In addition, the reverse side of the jersey being in direct contact with the interior of the shoe avoided, by the very fact of its relief, a sliding of the foot of the user during walking.

Les métiers circulaires automatiques connus, du type de celui décrit dans le brevet britannique 1 005 486, comportent deux fontures cylindriques en vis-à-vis entre lesquelles est disposée une plaque de garde et dont les rainures sont en face les unes des autres, de telle sorte que chaque aiguille, qui présente un crochet à chacune de des extrémités, puisse être utilisée au niveau du cylindre supérieur ou au niveau du cylindre inférieur et passer d'un cylindre à l'autre.The known automatic circular looms, of the type described in British patent 1 005 486, comprise two cylindrical needle beds facing each other between which is a guard plate and whose grooves are opposite one another, of such that each needle, which has a hook at each of its ends, can be used at the level of the upper cylinder or at the level of the lower cylinder and pass from one cylinder to another.

L'utilisation des aiguilles au niveau du cylindre inférieur permet la formation de mailles endroit, tandis que l'utilisation des aiguilles-au niveau de cylindre supérieur permet la formation des mailles envers. Lorsque toutes les aiguilles travaillent au niveau du cylindre inférieur, il est obtenu un jersey endroit.The use of needles at the level of the lower cylinder allows the formation of stitches, while the use of needles-at the level of upper cylinder allows the formation of back stitches. When all the needles work at the level of the lower cylinder, a stocking stitch is obtained.

Il est possible d'obtenir des côtes en alternant les mailles endroit et envers en fonction de la position des aiguilles, respectivement au niveau du cylindre supérieur et du cylindre inférieur.It is possible to obtain ribs by alternating the right and wrong stitches according to the position of the needles, respectively at the level of the upper cylinder and the lower cylinder.

La chaussette sort du métier sous forme d'un boyau, un dispositif de traction assurant la descente de ce boyau étant constitué par deux cylindres entraînés en rotation entre lesquels le boyau est maintenu en pression.The sock leaves the loom in the form of a hose, a traction device ensuring the descent of this hose being constituted by two cylinders driven in rotation between which the hose is kept in pressure.

En outre, des platinettes sont associées au cylindre inférieur qui ont pour fonction d'éviter la remontée du dernier rang de mailles lors du passage d'un certain nombre d'aiguilles du cylindre inférieur au cylindre supérieur. Ces platinettes, disposées radialement, sont articulées et présentent une extrémité en forme de crochet apte à saisir la maille tricotée.In addition, platinettes are associated with the lower cylinder which have the function of preventing the ascent of the last row of meshes during the passage of a number of needles from the lower cylinder to the upper cylinder. These plates, arranged radially, are articulated and have a hook-shaped end capable of gripping the knitted mesh.

Au niveau du cylindre supérieur, il est également prévu des platinettes qui, montées de manière fixe sur leur support cylindrique, ont pour fonction de faciliter la descente du boyau.At the level of the upper cylinder, there are also provided plates which, fixedly mounted on their cylindrical support, have the function of facilitating the descent of the hose.

En ce qui concerne l'amenée du fil au métier, elle est réalisée à l'aide d'un bras jeteur disposé de manière telle que le fil tangente la zone située entre les deux cylindres au point où les aiguilles réalisent la prise de fil.As regards the supply of the wire to the loom, it is carried out using a throwing arm arranged in such a way that the wire tangents the zone situated between the two cylinders at the point where the needles take the wire.

Ce type de métier connu ne permet pas, de par sa conception, d'assurer la descente normale d'un boyau dont plus de la moitié des mailles est constituée par des mailles envers sans qu'il se produise un bourrage du boyau dû au chargement des aiguilles.This type of known loom does not, by design, ensure the normal descent of a hose of which more than half of the meshes is made up of reverse meshes without there being a stuffing of the hose due to loading needles.

La présente invention à donc pour but de proposer un métier à tricoter circulaire automatique qui évite ces inconvénients lors de la réalisation de chaussettes de sport qui, retournées après tricotage, présentent, en conditions d'utilisation, une partie jambe d'aspect côte classique dans laquelle plus de la moitié des mailles est constituée de mailles endroit et une partie pied totalement réalisée en jersey uni présentant la face envers du jersey à l'extérieur.The present invention therefore aims to provide an automatic circular knitting machine which avoids these drawbacks during the production of sports socks which, turned over after knitting, have, under conditions of use, a leg portion of conventional rib appearance in which more than half of the stitches is made up of knit stitches and a foot part totally made of plain jersey with the reverse side of the jersey on the outside.

A cet effet, le métier selon l'invention du type précité, comporte en outre des moyens permettant d'abaisser le support des platinettes associées au cylindre supérieur, de telle sorte que celles-ci se trouvent au niveau habituel de prise du fil de tricotage et, les moyens de guidage du fil lors de l'amenée de celui-ci au cylindre supérieur, sont agencés de manière telle que le fil sortant desdits moyens puisse tangenter la plaque de garde située entre les deux cylindres en un point situé entre la sortie des moyens de guidage et le point où les aiguilles réalisent la prise du fil.To this end, the loom according to the invention of the aforementioned type, further comprises means making it possible to lower the support of the plates associated with the upper cylinder, so that they are at the usual level for gripping the knitting yarn. and, the means for guiding the wire when bringing it to the upper cylinder, are arranged in such a way that the wire exiting from said means can tangent the guard plate situated between the two cylinders at a point situated between the outlet guide means and the point where the needles take up the thread.

La traction exercée sur le boyau facilite le dégagement de celui-ci, de même que l'abaissement des platinettes associées au cylindre supérieur. Du fait de l'abaissement des platinettes, celles-ci obturent partiellement l'ouverture du crochet de chaque aiguille au niveau du cylindre supérieur, de telle sorte qu'il convient de réaliser un guidage du fil en position arrière et basse au milieu de la plaque de garde, afin d'assurer une bonne prise du fil par les aiguilles au niveau de chaque crochet.The traction exerted on the hose facilitates the release thereof, as well as the lowering of the plates associated with the upper cylinder. Due to the lowering of the plates, these partially block the opening of the hook of each needle at the level of the upper cylinder, so that it is necessary to guide the thread in the rear and low position in the middle of the guard plate, to ensure good grip of the thread by the needles at each hook.

La mise en oeuvre de la combinaison de moyens spécifique à l'invention ne doit être adoptée que pour le tricotage de la partie formant jambe, le tricotage du talon étant réalisé de manière traditionnelle.The implementation of the combination of means specific to the invention should only be adopted for knitting the leg portion, knitting of the heel being carried out in the traditional manner.

Avantageusement, le bras jeteur amenant le fil au métier est monté pivotant autour d'un axe sensiblement vertical passant par son extrémité opposée à celle guidant le fil, et est susceptible d'occuper au moins deux positions, à savoir la position traditionnelle et une position dans laquelle il a pivoté d'un certain angle tendant à éloigner son extrémité de guidage du fil du point de la prise de fil.Advantageously, the throwing arm bringing the wire to the loom is pivotally mounted around a substantially vertical axis passing through its end opposite to that guiding the wire, and is capable of occupying at least two positions, namely the traditional position and a position in which it has pivoted by a certain angle tending to move its guide end of the wire away from the point of the wire grip.

Selon une forme simple d'exécution de l'invention, au bras jeteur est associé un doigt déporté latéralement sur lequel agit un organe de déplacement.According to a simple embodiment of the invention, the throwing arm is associated with a laterally offset finger on which a displacement member acts.

Dans ce cas, l'organe de déplacement du bras jeteur est constitué par un câble et/ou un levier qui actionné par le tambour de commande, est susceptible de faire pivoter le bras jeteur à partir de sa position de départ, un ressort étant prévu qui, agissant sur un talon associé au bras jeteur, ramène celui-ci en position de départ, où il prend appui sur une butée, lorsque toute action cesse d'être exercée sur le câble et/ou le levier.In this case, the movement member of the throwing arm is constituted by a cable and / or a lever which, actuated by the control drum, is capable of making the throwing arm pivot from its starting position, a a spring being provided which, acting on a heel associated with the throwing arm, returns the latter to the starting position, where it bears on a stop, when all action ceases to be exerted on the cable and / or the lever.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit en référence aux dessins annexés représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution des moyens de guidage du fil dans ce dispositif:

  • Figure 1 en est une vue en perspective;
  • Figure 2 en est une vue de dessus;
  • Figure 3 est une vue de côté d'une aiguille lors de la préhension d'un fil au niveau du cylindre supérieur.
The invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows with reference to the appended drawings representing, by way of nonlimiting example, an embodiment of the means for guiding the wire in this device:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view;
  • Figure 2 is a top view;
  • Figure 3 is a side view of a needle when gripping a wire at the upper cylinder.

Comme montré très schématiquement sur le dessin, le métier comporte un cylindre supérieur 2 et un cylindre inférieur 3 coaxiaux entre lesquels est prévu un léger espace pour une plaque de garde 4. Dans les cylindres supérieur 2 et inférieur 3 sont ménagées des rainures correspondantes pour le guidage d'aiguilles 5 actionnées par des platines 6 à partir d'un tambour de commande.As shown very schematically in the drawing, the loom comprises an upper cylinder 2 and a lower cylinder 3 coaxial between which is provided a slight space for a guard plate 4. In the upper 2 and lower 3 cylinders are provided corresponding grooves for the guiding needles 5 actuated by plates 6 from a control drum.

L'amenée du fil 7 est réalisée à l'aide d'un bras jeteur 8, le parcours en amont du bras jeteur n'étant pas représenté. De manière traditionnelle, le bras jeteur 8 est disposé, comme montré en trait plein, de telle sorte que le fil 7 tangente le cylindre au niveau où est réalisée la prise de fil par le crochet inférieur 9 d'une aiguille.The wire 7 is brought in using a throwing arm 8, the path upstream of the throwing arm not being shown. Traditionally, the throwing arm 8 is arranged, as shown in solid lines, so that the thread 7 tangents the cylinder at the level where the thread is taken by the lower hook 9 of a needle.

Conformément à l'invention, le bras jeteur 8 est monté pivotant autour d'un axe vertical 10 auquel sont associés également un doigt 12 déporté latéralement par rapport au bras jeteur, ainsi qu'un talon 13. A l'extrémité libre du doigt 12 est fixé un câble 14 qui, passant dans une gaine 15, est actionné à partir du tambour de commande dans un sens de traction. La traction exercée par le câble 14 sur le doigt 12 assure le passage de l'ensemble tournant dans la position représentée en traits mixtes à la figure 2.According to the invention, the throwing arm 8 is pivotally mounted about a vertical axis 10 with which are also associated a finger 12 offset laterally relative to the throwing arm, as well as a heel 13. At the free end of the finger 12 is fixed a cable 14 which, passing through a sheath 15, is actuated from the control drum in a pulling direction. The traction exerted by the cable 14 on the finger 12 ensures the passage of the rotating assembly in the position shown in broken lines in FIG. 2.

Le retour en position initiale du bras jeteur 8 est réalisé, lorsque le câble 14 est relâché, sous l'effet d'un ressort 16 monté entre un point fixe et le talon 13, agissant jusqu'à ce que le talon 13 vienne en appui sur une butée 17 de position réglable.Returning the throwing arm 8 to the initial position, when the cable 14 is released, under the effect of a spring 16 mounted between a fixed point and the heel 13, acting until the heel 13 comes to bear on an adjustable position stop 17.

Comme montré à la figure 2, lorsque le bras jeteur 8 est dans la position représentée en traits mixtes, le fil tangents le cylindre en aval du point où les aiguilles réalisent la prise du fil, ce qui assure, comme montré à la figure 3, l'accrochage par un crochet inférieur 9 d'une aiguille malgré l'obturation partielle de l'ouverture de celui-ci par une platinette 18 associée au cylindre supérieur.As shown in FIG. 2, when the throwing arm 8 is in the position shown in phantom, the thread tangents the cylinder downstream from the point where the needles grip the thread, which ensures, as shown in FIG. 3, the attachment by a lower hook 9 of a needle despite the partial closure of the opening thereof by a plate 18 associated with the upper cylinder.

Ce dispositif apporte une grande amélioration à la technique existante en permettant la transformation de manière simple d'un métier circulaire à deux cylindres verticaux permettant le tricotage sur celui-ci d'une chaussette dont la jambe présente un aspect côte dont plus de la moitié des mailles sont des mailles envers.This device brings a great improvement to the existing technique by allowing the transformation in a simple way of a circular loom with two vertical cylinders allowing the knitting on this one of a sock whose leg has a rib aspect of which more than half of the stitches are reverse stitches.

Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de ce dispositif, décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of this device, described above by way of example.

C'est ainsi notamment que les moyens de guidage du fil pourraient être différents et que les moyens de déplacement du bras jeteur pourraient être constitués par un levier seul et/ou associé au câble.Thus, in particular, the means for guiding the wire could be different and the means for moving the throwing arm could be constituted by a lever alone and / or associated with the cable.
