Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a knitting method employed at the end of knitting of a fabric knitted by using a flat knitting machine, and a knit fabric knitted by executing the same method.
  • a knit fabric knitted by using a flat knitting machine is unraveled unless the loop in the final course is fixed.
  • various knit-back preventive measures are taken.
  • hand looping known as winding stop or welting stop is employed, and mechanically, the loop of the final course is sewn to the loop of the immediately preceding course by overlock sewing, or the loops are sewn together by a looping machine.
  • the invention is devised in the light of the above problems, in which the course terminating portion of the knit fabric in the knitting process already has an appearance as final product, so that the troublesome process of hand looping, overlock sewing, or sewing by locking machine after knitting may be omitted. It is hence an object of the invention to disclose a knit fabric beautiful in the finish of the course terminating portion, not required to prevent knitting-back by using such a thread as to cause to spoil the appearance of the knit fabric, by knitting the portion corresponding to the course terminating portion of knit product by ordinary cast-on-cloth knitting, and a knitting method for obtaining such knit fabric.
  • FR-A-2352909 discloses a knit product having a knitting start part, a main part and a knitting end part.
  • the knitting start part and the main part form one piece of the knit product, whereas the knitting end part forms a separately knitted second piece of the knit product.
  • Both pieces have an edge portion of courses without knit-back loops and are joined by loops of their respective final courses, followed by at least one more course to prevent unravelling of the join.
  • DE-A-2708722 discloses a method of knitting a fabric having a knitting start part, a main part and a knitting end part on a knitting machine having a pair of front and rear needle beds. Every other loop of the final course of the main part is first moved to be overlaid on an adjacent loop of this course on a single one of the needle beds.
  • a knit product comprising a knitting start part, a main part and a knitting end part, the knitting start part and the main part forming one piece of the knit product whereas the knitting end part forms a separately knitted second piece of the knit product, whereby both pieces possess an edge portion of courses without knit-back loops and are joined by the loops of their respective final courses followed by at least one more course knit to prevent unravelling of the joining part, characterised in that every other loop of the final course of the main part is overlapped with an adjacent loop of this course whereby any hole formed in the joining part is clogged due to the curling property of the loops in the joining part of the knitting.
  • Fig. 1 is a front view of a knit product knitted by the knitting method of the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a drawing showing a part of the loop of the knit product
  • Fig. 3 is its knitting drawing
  • Figs. 4-A, 4-B, and 4-C are explanatory drawings showing the knit fabric in the midst of knitting from the side of knitting machine.
  • the drawings show knitting by using a flat knitting machine having a carriage (not shown) comprising a pair of front and rear needle beds and a single knitting system reciprocating on the needle beds, wherein needles A, B, ..., K, L are arranged in a row on the first needle bed 1, and needles a, b, ..., k, l corresponding to the above needles A, B, ..., K, L are disposed on the confronting second needle bed 2.
  • Fig. 1 shows a knit product 100 knitted by executing the method of the invention, in which there is a rib knit part 10 knitted by ordinary knitting out in the knitting start portion in the lower part of the course in the garment, and a main part 20 is located in the middle of the course, while a knitting end portion 30 of rib knitting is found in the upper part of the course.
  • Fig. 2 shows a part of loop diagram of the knit product 100, in which the main part 20 is indicated by a thin line, the knitting end part 30 by a thick line, and the loop knitted after the joining of the main part 20 and knitting end part 30 mentioned below, being concealed at the lower side of the knit product by dotted line, respectively.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates the individual knitting diagrams, and the knitting start part 10 and the subsequent main part 20 of the rib knitting can be knitted properly by the conventional knitting method and are not shown here and are not mentioned particularly because they do not require particular explanation.
  • Fig. 3 shows from the latter half of the subsequent main part 20.
  • the final two courses 11, 12, of the main part 20 are knitted by means of the needles of the first needle bed 1.
  • the knitting structure of the main body 20 may be changed.
  • the loop held on every other needle B, D, ..., J, K of the needles A, B, ..., K, L holding the final loop of the main part 20 is moved to the needles b, d, ..., j, l of the second needle bed 2 at the opposite end.
  • the loop on every other needle A, C, ..., I, K not moved in block 3 is moved to the needles b, d, ..., j, 1 of the second needle bed 2 to overlay the loops. Since it is difficult to express the state of this portion in the loop diagram, symbols b, j, 1 in the overlapped loops are used. With the loop of the main part 20 held, the needles b, d, ..., j, l are dislocated from the knitting and are held.
  • Blocks 5 to 12 are knitting diagrams showing knitting of the rib knitting end portion 30 using the blank needles, and in block 5, using the needles B, D, ..., J, L of the first needle bed 1 and needles a, c, ..., i, k of the second needle bed 2, the knitting end portion 30 is knitted out. In the subsequent blocks 6, 7, 8, using the same needles, the knitting is terminated. Then in blocks 9 to 12, the rib knitting portions knitted. Hereby, by properly repeating blocks 9, 10, it is designed to adjust the height at the knitting end portion 30.
  • a two-piece knit structure comprising a knit fabric composed of knitting start portion 10 and main part 20, and a knit fabric forming the knitting end portion 30 as approximately shown in Fig. 4-A drops from the peak of the needle bed.
  • the loop 14 of the final course of the knitting end portion 30 held on the needles B,D, ..., J, L of the first needle bed 1 is moved and overlaid on the needles b, d, ..., j, l of the second needle bed 2 kept in an inactive state, while holding the loop 12 of the final course of the main part 20.
  • the main part 20 and the knitting end portion 30 are joined on the second needle bed 2, and linked to form one knit fabric, and as the measure for preventing knit-back, when knitting is stopped by using thermofusible thread or thermoelastic thread as mentioned above, the openings (eyelets) formed by movement of the stitches in blocks, 3, 4 appear at the main part 20 side in the joined portion, which may significantly spoil the appearance of product. Accordingly, after knitting by the needles of the second needle bed in blocks 14, 15, knit-back preventive measures are taken in blocks 16, 17.
  • the loops 15, 16 formed in blocks 14, 15 positioned at the peak of an inverted Y-shaped knitting and held on the needles of the needle bed of the flat knitting machine are curled due to the intrinsic property of the loop when released from the knitting machine at the end of knitting, and are warped upward to the main part 20 side, thereby blocking the hole formed at the terminal part of the main part 20 of the joining part.
  • the number of knittings in blocks 16, 17 is not limited, and should be done at least often enough for blocking the holes.
  • the knit fabric and knitting method of the invention are not limited to the foregoing embodiment alone, and the knitting start portion and knitting end portion may be other than rib knitting, and the loop exchange direction or sequence between the needle beds may be changed, depending on whether the knit main part is used in the outer surface of the knit product or in the inner surface.
  • the needle beds and needles used in knitting may be changed as required, as far as not departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
