Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for making a knitted fabric and a product obtained with this process, as well as a use for a knitting machine.
  • a sole thread or yarn which extends longitudinally and curvilinearly, so as to produce loops which form a line of simple stitches linked to the stitches of the previous line and, which will be linked to the stitches of the following line.
  • the loops are called stitches, the lines of stitches are called rows and the interlacement represents the passing over phase whereby, in the following, this specific terminology will be used.
  • the knitting manufacturing is made by using knitting machines or looms in which a support, called a needle bar, houses several needles placed side by side and parallel to each other, in order to pass over the stitches of the new row with the stitches of the previous row.
  • the number of needles is, obviously, equal to the number of the stitches per row.
  • the needles are operated by a slidable carriage carrying a cam element which by pressing onto the end of the needles, generates a forward and a backward movement of the needles.
  • Each part may be obtained starting from a rectangular fabric and cutting from it the component parts of the stocking or footwear, thus producing scraps; or, they may be directly obtained by using the increase and decrease technique, thus avoiding wastage.
  • the flat parts so obtained have to be sewed to one another, along different joining lines.
  • the neck portion is knitted subsequently to the front portion and the number of loops existing in the edge of the cut-out neck portion of the front body is increased by an action of widening stitches.
  • the aim of the invention is, therefore, to devise a process in order to obtain a knitted fabric which eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • the aim is to obtain a fabric in one piece from which it is possible to directly make the stocking or footwear, namely a fabric which has the necessary geometrical characteristics so that, once it has been folded, it directly forms the stocking or footwear.
  • the fabric so obtained, can be made into a stocking or a footwear which is form-fitting to the foot or the leg of a person.
  • FIG 1 there is illustrated a fabric 10 in order to obtain a stocking or a footwear with the process of the present invention.
  • Figures 2 to 5 illustrate the various phases of the process in order to produce the fabric 10, starting from the top of the stocking or the upper part of the footwear.
  • the knitting weaving is carried out in the usual manner, namely a first thread 11 creates a first row of stitches and subsequently, with a second run, a second row of stitches are formed which are passed over with the stitches of the first row and so on, until arriving at the last row 12 of stitches near the part corresponding to the instep of the foot. Therefore, the fabric represented in figure 2 is so obtained, wherein decreases and increases operations have been made, so that the boot-leg, which is defined by a left side edge 14 and a right side edge 16, may fit to the lower part of the leg.
  • a second thread 13a and a third thread 13b are prepared in order to start again the knitting, which now occurs by dividing the last row 12 of stitches in two parts: a left row 20 placed between the left side edge 14 and a first central edge 15 placed near the middle on the side of the left side edge 14 and a right row 22 placed between the right side edge 16 and a second central edge 17 placed near the middle on the side of the right side edge 17.
  • the two rows are independent to each other, it is necessary to have at least two threads: the second thread 13a in order to form the left rows 20 and the third thread 13b in order to form the right rows 22.
  • the first central edge 15 is gradually moved to the left side, so as to reduce the number of stitches per row; similarly, the second central edge 17 is gradually moved to the right side, so as to reduce the number of stitches per row.
  • the stitches of the row just formed are pressed downwards by means of a suitable device that is a presser bar which produces a pressure onto the stitches in order to hold the row of stitches just formed in the correct position.
  • a pulling force is applied which is uniformly distributed along its entire length by means a device, i.e. a tension bar, so as to maintain the fabric constantly in tension.
  • the fabric has, on the left side and on the right side, a material in excess to form a left wave 18 and a right wave 19.
  • the first thread 11, the second thread 13a and the third thread 13b are preferably elastic threads which may be either of natural material like latex, or synthetic material like lycra.
  • the described process may be used in order to manufature other clothing articles, and not exclusively stockings or footwear.
  • this process may involve all those articles which cover parts of the body which have angular shapes, as for example orthopaedic and medical-sanitary articles which cover different parts of the body, such as elbows and shoulders.
  • a greater number of threads can be used, so as to increase the productivity or, otherwise, the design when, for example, different colours of threads are used.
  • the process is carried out conveniently using a knitting machine and, in particular, a machine with a straight needle bar.
  • the protection field of the invention extends also to the use of any machine in order to carry out the above process, as well as the fabric obtained by carrying out the process of the present invention.
