Abstract

A process for increasing the mesh number at the edge (10) of a neck section formed by a knitting machine, comprises locating the neck edge sections (A.C) where the mesh number is to be increased and locating a thread over the needles. The opposite needle bed (H) is displaced and the mesh is placed on it. This is repeated until all mesh sections are on the empty needles.

Description

The invention relates to a method for increasing the number of stitches on the edge a neckline of a tubular Rund-Fertiggestricks that on a Flat knitting machine with at least two opposing needle beds with a Nadeleinteilung is made, in which at most every other needle with a mesh is occupied and each one mesh-carrying needle of the one Needle bed an empty needle of the other needle bed opposite.

In tubular Rund-Fertiggestricken the neckline edge is through Application formed by Spickelverfahren. After the shoulder joints The knitted fabric is usually closed with the same number of needles the neckline edge forms, the collar knitted.

However, the deeper the neckline, the stronger it gets occurring tension of the stitches among each other the original contour the neckline changed. This worsens the one hand that Appearance of the collar and on the other hand the elasticity of the neckline and thus also the wearing properties of the knitted fabric.

This problem can be solved by the number of meshes, with which the collar is formed is increased. For this are for tubular round finished knitted fabrics, which were formed with all needles, in the EP 1 258 552 A1 and EP 1 264 922 A1 each method described, however only on flat knitting machines with special push pins, on their sliders Meshes are parked, are feasible. In EP 1 288 361 a method for increasing the mesh size at the neckline edge described on a flat knitting machine with four needle beds or on a flat knitting machine with said special sliding needles can be carried out.

The present invention has for its object to provide a method for Increasing the number of stitches at the neckline edge of a round tubular finished knitted fabric to create that on flat knitting machines with only two Needle beds and without special shaving needles can be performed.

a) Auf einem ersten Nadelbett Festlegung von Sektoren des Halsausschnittsrandes, in denen die Maschenzahl erhöht werden soll;

b) Einlegung eines Strickfadens in freie Nadeln eines dieser Sektoren oder Umlegen dieser Nadeln mit einem Strickfaden zur Bildung von Erweiterungsmaschen beim nächsten Strickvorgang;

c) Versatz des gegenüberliegenden zweiten Nadelbetts um eine Nadelteilung;

d) Umhängen der Erweiterungsmaschen und/oder der ursprünglichen Maschen, denen eine leere Nadel gegenüberliegt, auf das zweite Nadelbett;

e) Wiederholung der Schritte c) und d), bis alle Erweiterungs- und Ursprungsmaschen des Sektors auf bisher leeren Nadeln des gegenüberliegenden zweiten Nadelbetts angeordnet sind;

f) Durchführung der Schritte b) bis e), bis in allen Sektoren Erweiterungsmaschen gebildet wurden und sämtliche ursprünglichen Maschen und die Erweiterungsmaschen des Halsausschnittsrandes auf dem gegenüberliegenden zweiten Nadelbett angeordnet sind;

g) Zurückhängen der Ursprungs- und Erweiterungsmaschen des Halsausschnittsrandes der einen Gestrickseite auf die Nadeln des ersten Nadelbetts.

The object is achieved by a method of the type mentioned, which is characterized by the steps:

a) On a first needle bed definition of sectors of the neckline edge in which the mesh size is to be increased;

b) inserting a knitting thread into free needles of one of these sectors or folding these needles with a knitting thread to form expansion stitches in the next knitting operation;

c) offset of the opposing second needle bed by a needle pitch;

d) transferring the extension stitches and / or the original stitches facing an empty needle to the second needle bed;

e) repeating steps c) and d) until all expansion and origin meshes of the sector are placed on previously empty needles of the opposite second needle bed;

f) carrying out steps b) to e) until expansion meshes have been formed in all sectors and all the original stitches and the expansion stitches of the neckline edge are arranged on the opposing second needle bed;

g) hanging back the initial and expansion stitches of the neckline edge of the one knit side onto the needles of the first needle bed.

After the extension of the neckline edge to the desired Mesh size at the desired locations, the collar can be knitted be again, with the Nadeleinteilung is such that at most each second needle is occupied with a stitch and one of a mesh-bearing Needle is opposite a free needle. The procedure can be up Flat knitting machines with only two needle beds with tongue or conventional sliding needles are performed. The transfer process The stitches are very functional, as the stitches to be put on can be offset by a maximum of one needle.

Before the offset of the opposite second needle bed can any stitches outside the sector whose mesh size is increased should, which are still on the first needle bed, also on the opposite needle bed can be umgehängt to the displacement movements of the second needle bed not to hinder.

Before forming extension meshes for another sector of the Neck edges can be stitched on the first needle bed hung back and then there the knitting thread inserted into empty needles which then form the expansion meshes.

Preferably, the second needle bed in step c) in a sector, the is located to the left of the neckline center, offset to the right and at a sector to the right of the neckline center, to the left be offset. This can provide the necessary extra needles for the expansion meshes on both sides of the original Neckline area can be gained.

The wrapping of the extension and / or original stitches in step d) may be successive, beginning at the edge of the neckline of the sector to the outer edge of the sector, to be performed until each Origin and expansion mesh on a previously empty needle of the second Needle bed hangs. In this way, also for the formation of the collar the Needle division retained, at most every other needle a stitch wearing and a stitch-bearing needle facing an empty needle is arranged.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a inventive method explained in more detail with reference to the drawing.

Show it:

Fig. 2.1 to 2.12

a stitch course representation of an inventive Method for increasing the number of stitches in the Sectors a) and c) of the neckline edge of FIG. 1.

FIG. 1 shows a neck edge 10 of a round-necked neck, FIG. the number of stitches according to the invention for the production of a shapely and stretchable collar 11 is increased, so that a collar edge 10 'with increased number of stitches results. In this case, the neckline edge 10 in divided into three sectors A, B and C. In sectors A and C there is one Increasing the number of stitches instead, while in sector B the mesh size remains constant.

FIGS. 2.1 to 2.12 now illustrate how an exemplary extension of the Mesh size in sectors A and C.

In row R0 the mesh occupancy of sectors A, B and C of the Halsausschnittrands 10 of Fig. 1 before the beginning of the expansion of the mesh size shown. It is every other needle of the front and back needle beds V and H occupied with a stitch. A stitch-bearing needle is an empty needle of the other needle bed H, V arranged opposite. The needles c) to p) belong to the fabric back and the needles C) to P) to Fabric front.

In row R1, the needles C ', D', F 'and H' are in sector A with a Knitting thread umgelegt that the next knitting immediately a stitch can be formed. Then in the row R2, the stitches of Sectors B and C from the front needle bed V on their opposite Needles of the rear needle bed H are hung over. Row R01 shows the Stitch course after the hanging process in row R2.

In row R02, the back needle bed is shifted one needle to the right. Subsequently, in the row R3, the transfer of the innermost Expansion mesh H 'of sector A on its opposite needle h' des rear needle bed H. The resulting knitted image is in series R03 shown.

In row R04, the rear needle bed H is again turned right around a needle added. Subsequently, in the row R4 a transfer of the two Original meshes G and H of sector A on the opposite needles g ', f' of the rear needle bed H. The result then is that shown in row R05 Mesh course.

In row R06, the back needle bed is again turned right around a needle offset so that in series R5 the expansion mesh F 'and the Original mesh C on their opposite needles e 'and b umgehängt can be, as row R5 shows. It then results in the series R07 shown mesh image.

In row R08, the rear needle bed H is again turned right around a needle added. Then the two original meshes E and F of the Sector A on the opposite needle c 'and d' of the rear needle bed H, as shown in row R6. It then results in the Row R09 shown stitch course.

In row R010, the back needle bed is again one needle to the right added. Subsequently, in R7, the expansion mesh D 'on the opposite needle b 'umgehängt. It results in the series R011 shown course of stitches.

In row R012, the back needle bed is again turned to the right by one needle and then in row R8 the last two stitches C 'and D of the Sector A is transferred to the back needle bed so that it is in row R013 shown stitching results.

All the stitches of the fabric front are now on the back Needle bed. The sector A of the neckline edge 10 'is four in total Mesh has been expanded.

To increase the number of stitches in sector C, rows R9 will be used first the stitches of the fabric front of this sector back onto the needles M to S of the front needle bed V is hung back, so that in row R014 shown stitching results.

In series R10 is used to form expansion meshes in the empty needles M ', O', Q ', R' of the front needle bed V a knitting thread inserted and then in row R11, the innermost original loop M on the the opposite needle j 'of the rear needle bed H is hung, so that results in the course of stitching shown in row R015.

In row R016, the rear needle bed H is shifted one needle to the left. As a result, in series R12, the innermost expansion mesh M 'and the Original mesh S on their opposite needles k 'and q of the rear Needle bed H are umgehängt, so that the stitch pattern according to row R017 results.

In row R018, the rear needle bed H is shifted one needle to the left and then the original meshes N and O of sector C on their umgehängt opposite needles I ', m' of the rear needle bed H, as Represents row R13. The result is then shown in row R019 Mesh screen.

In row R020, the back needle bed is moved one needle to the left added. Now the expansion mesh O 'on the rear needle bed H which results in the course of stitches shown in row R021 results.

In row R022 again an offset of the rear needle bed is done by one Needle to the left. In the next step, the original meshes P and Q and the expansion mesh R 'on the rear needle bed H umgehängt, such as is shown in row R15. The result then is that shown in Fig. R023 Mesh course.

In row R024, the back needle bed is moved one needle to the left before, in row R16, the last expansion mesh Q 'of sector C is displaced is transferred to the rear needle bed H. The resulting then Mesh pattern is shown in row R025.

In R026, a last offset of the rear needle bed becomes left performed so that the last loop R of sector C in row R17 on the rear needle bed can be umgehängt. The resulting then Mesh course is shown in row R027.

All stitches of the neckline edge 10 'now hang in needles of the neckline rear needle bed H. In row R18 now the source and Expansion mesh of the front knitted side on the opposite Needles of the front needle bed are hung over. It follows then the in Row R028 shown stitch course. The number of mesh-bearing needles in the front and rear needle bed V, H has each of 14 needles on 18 Needles increased. The needle division is again so that only every second needle is occupied with a stitch. A stitch-bearing needle is an empty one Needle located opposite. It can now be filled with the Collar to be started.

In other neck shapes, the method in analog Be applied. The neckline can also be deeper in the Knitting back as extending into the fabric front. Instead of the Rear needle bed could also be offset the front needle bed. The Both needle beds then swap their role in an otherwise same Procedure.
