Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and an apparatus of the genera specified in the preambles of claims 1 and 9.
- Knitwear of the type of interest here in particular those which are produced on a circular knitting machine, has in common that they have or require at least one basic knitted fabric made of thread material.
- the character of such a knit fabric is essentially characterized by the type of thread material used and the provided in each case binding within the base knit.
- For knitwear of the garment sector also have special requirements for wearing properties such as water absorption, softness or pliability.
- thread material here includes all commercially available yarns, which consist of one or more, elongated or endless thread.
- the comfort of a knit garment increases with its softness.
- knitwear of all types produced to date which are made from yarns containing predominantly natural staple fibers or blends thereof with man-made fibers
- the softness of the fabrics largely depends on the yarn structure and the spinning process used to make it.
- the purpose of the spinning process is to arrange the staple fibers together by imparting rotation so as to form a yarn whose essential feature is the absorption of tensile forces.
- Extremely soft knits can be made neither from traditional ring yarns nor from so-called unconventional yarns such as rotor yarns, bundle yarns or wraps because yarns always have twists and bundles, which leads to a noticeable stiffness in the fabric. At most classic Ringgam provides mesh with pleasant wearing properties. The desire for extremely soft knitwear can therefore not be met with the known types of yarn. This also applies if, in order to achieve special properties, additional feed or plush threads ( DE 28 04 068 A1 . DE 197 07 053 A1 ) embedded in a basic knit or the yarns or knitted fabrics are equipped in a special way.
- a very similar purpose is served by other known methods and devices ( GB-A-1 538 924 ), by means of which staple fibers are processed into a cord or cord-like thread material.
- an endless sliver is first stretched in a drafting and then fed to a stationary needle cylinder in which two to four knitting needles are mounted movable up and down to produce this with the type of warp knitting a consisting of one or two wales yarn.
- the invention has the object to shorten the production process and to provide a method and an apparatus for producing a comfort-enhancing knitwear based on staple fibers, the handle without the use of special thread materials or plush or lining threads, without the integration of additional tufts and without special equipment od.
- the handle without the use of special thread materials or plush or lining threads, without the integration of additional tufts and without special equipment od.
- the handle without the use of special thread materials or plush or lining threads, without the integration of additional tufts and without special equipment od.
- An essential feature of the method and apparatuses according to the invention is that the knitting machine is not supplied with a customary yarn or yarn or the like described in the introduction, but a fiber structure consisting of untwisted staple fibers arranged parallel to one another and immediately before entry into the knitting point, d. H. produced on the knitting machine itself.
- An essential feature of the knitwear produced by the methods and devices according to the invention is that they consist of a thread material which is not yarn. Rather, the knitwear according to the invention are made directly from a fiber structure, which is formed from untwisted and substantially parallel staple fibers. This results in a knit fabric with extreme softness.
- a stitch-forming thread for the knitwear according to the invention is made of two components, namely the fiber structure according to the invention and a preferably parallel and untwisted to this ongoing auxiliary thread.
- the auxiliary thread can be a monofilament or multifilament, wherein the multifilament can also be provided with real protective rotations. Regardless, the auxiliary thread is expediently chosen such that the character of the knitwear is predominantly characterized by the component consisting of the fiber structure.
- the inventive method and the device according to the invention are preferably based on stretching a fiber structure formed in the manner of a sliver before the stitch formation in a drafting to the desired fineness and then to process directly or after a suitable for knitting technical reasons pretreatment to mesh.
- the latter can be done, for example, with a flat or circular knitting machine, which can be configured as a right / right, right / left or left / left circular knitting machine. Issuing this, various variants are proposed according to the invention.
- a first variant according to the invention is present when the staple fibers emerging from the drafting system arrive in a spinning device as fiber structure in which they are spun into an unconventional yarn (eg bundle yarn or cover yarn).
- the fiber structure is solidified in order to be able to transport it over long distances to the knitting point of a circular knitting machine.
- it does not depend on the achievement of a maximum tensile strength, but on the maintenance of the desired soft grip.
- auxiliary thread runs in at the knitting point.
- the auxiliary thread is preferably fed in front of the pair of delivery rollers of the drafting system. He goes through the exit roller pair and participates in the formation process of the temporary yarn.
- the combined thread material consisting of the fiber stream and the auxiliary thread forms stitches, which in turn have an extremely soft hand, in particular because there are no twists between the auxiliary thread and the fiber stream, ie. H. Fiber structure and auxiliary thread parallel in the stitches.
- a mesh 1 of a knitted fabric of known type is shown. It consists of a thread material 2 and has the usual, z. B. for a right / left knit fabric typical binding points 3.
- Fig. 2 is an inventive, according to the manufacture of knitwear Fig. 1 suitable thread material 4 is shown. It consists of a thread in the form of a continuous or a like a conventional thread endlessly produced fiber structure 5, which is formed by staple fibers 6, which are undiluted and substantially parallel to the longitudinal extent of the thread material 4.
- the fiber structure 5 after Fig. 2 has no strength in itself. Surprisingly, however, it has been shown that the fiber structure 5 is obtained by the indentation points 3 within a mesh 1 sufficient strength, in particular tensile strength and thereby for the production of knitted fabrics such. B. of knitted garments is well suited.
- the staple fibers become jammed in the bonding points 3 and absorb force via the frictional engagement.
- the stitches 1 and the knitted fabric formed from them are then as strong as a knitted fabric made of yarn.
- An important difference for the invention lies in the softness of the handle.
- the handle of a knitwear, which consists of thread material 4, which in turn is formed from a fiber structure 5, is unsurpassed soft.
- a similar, although not so soft handle is achieved when a thread material 7 is used, which consists of a combination of the fiber structure 5 and an endless auxiliary thread 8 (FIG. Fig. 3 ) consists.
- the character of the thread material 7 is expediently also embossed here by the staple fiber strand 5. This is especially true when the fiber structure 5 dominates in the mass ratio fiber structure 5 / auxiliary thread 8. Particularly good properties are achieved with a mass distribution of, for example, 70% fiber structure 5/30% auxiliary thread 8.
- the auxiliary thread 8 can for example consist of a monofilament ( Fig. 3 ) or from a multifilament 9 ( Fig. 4 ) consist. Also conceivable are combinations of the fiber structure according to the invention with an auxiliary thread 8 in the form of a yarn of staple fibers, for. As a ring yarn, rotor yarn, bundle yarn or Umwindegarns, etc., but in this case, the mass ratio fiber strand 5 / auxiliary thread 8 should preferably be sufficiently large so that the desired soft handle of the knitwear according to the invention is not affected by the auxiliary thread 8 and 9 respectively. Because all knits 1 with a fiber structure 5 as described above should be distinguished by a particularly soft handle according to the invention, which significantly differs from the handle of knitwear made of yarns.
- the return torque in the knitted fabric is zero when using the fiber structure 5 or virtually zero for combinations of fiber structure 5 / auxiliary thread 9.
- the mesh legs of mesh 1 therefore do not appear crooked, but completely symmetrical.
- the method of preparation for the fiber structure 5 according to the invention can in principle be chosen freely.
- One possible production is z. B. in that the cross sections of slivers (Lunten), the od of a drafting. Like. Come, be reduced by applying further drafting to a suitable value for knitting. Under a "sliver" is coarse, not twisted and od in cans. Like. Well-held sliver understood.
- the fiber composites 5 can also be produced from card slivers and brought to the desired final fineness with draw frames.
- the fiber structure 5 after Fig. 2 forms a continuous (endless) thread that is used for stitching and z.
- the production of a standard base knit in the form of a smooth right / left knit fabric can serve.
- the application of other weave patterns is possible as with the use of yarns.
- Both long staple fibers (eg wool) and short staple fibers (eg cotton) as well as fibers from other than textile materials, eg. As metal or plastic fibers are used.
- a knitted fabric with the described thread material 4 or 7 can serve according to the invention devices, which are described below with reference to Fig. 5 to 13 be explained in more detail and may be referred to, for example, as a spun-knit devices.
- Fig. 5 shows the invention using the example of a circular knitting machine with a needle cylinder 11 of very small diameter (eg 1 ") .
- This circular knitting machine is particularly suitable for the processing of long staple fibers and for the production of knitwear which can be used, for example, as a dressing material Fig. 5 serves as a thread material 4 according to a fiber structure Fig. 2 , which is continuously fed from conventional output rollers 12 of a schematically indicated by the reference numeral 14 drafting a yarn guide 15.
- the thread material 4 consists of the untwisted and substantially parallel fibers 6 accordingly Fig. 2 and is processed immediately after its production in the drafting system 14, ie without intervening winding process to mesh.
- the yarn guide 15 leads the yarn material 4 to a schematically indicated knitting point 16, at which it is driven by expelled knitting needles 17, z.
- knitting needles 17, z As usual latch needles, which are slidably mounted in grooves of the needle cylinder 11, recorded and analogous to Fig. 1 is processed into stitches.
- a suction element 18 is arranged at the side facing away from the output rollers 12 of the thread guide 15 and on the back of the needles 17.
- the emerging from the drafting 14 fiber strand 5 is sucked by the suction element 18 through the yarn guide 15 against the needle cylinder 11 and immediately processed as stitches.
- the distance of the thread guide 15 of the needles 17 is only a few millimeters.
- the stitch formation is made possible by the fact that the thread material 4 is first sucked by the suction 18 and placed radially to the needle cylinder axis and stretched so that it detected by the knitting point 16 in a thread receiving position raised knitting needles 17 and their deduction in the Maschen Strukturs- or .Making position can be processed into stitches.
- the Fig. 6 shows a section through the knitting point of a circular knitting machine corresponding Fig. 5 , but for the processing of short staple fibers.
- the structure is therefore similar Fig. 5
- the Absugswalsen wear 12 réelleriemchen 19. This allows the distance from a last in the direction of the circular knitting machine, formed by the réelleriemchen 19 terminal point 20 for the fiber strand 4 to the thread guide 15 and a stitch formation (Kulierstelle) very small and especially the same or smaller than the staple length of the fibers 6, as required for proper stitch formation.
- the device knits a very soft and also cheap knit, because the actual spinning process is eliminated.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 knitting with a fiber material 4 after Fig. 2 show, the embodiment is after Fig. 7 directed to a device for processing a thread material 21, which is referred to as unconventional yarn.
- An unconventional yarn is understood by a person skilled in the art to be a yarn which has twists that deviate from classical rotations, such as those arising in ring or selfactor spinning.
- An advantage of such a thread material 21 is in particular that after it in comparison with the fiber material 4 after Fig. 2 an increased tensile strength can be given.
- the thread material 21 is then suitable for being transported over greater distances, as is generally desired in large circular knitting machines (needle cylinder diameter eg 30 "or more) or at least in circular knitting machines whose needle cylinders have larger diameters than those based on the FIGS. 5 and 6 have described micro-circular knitting machines. With the thread material 21, it is possible to choose the distance between the output rollers 12 of the drafting system 14 and the knitting point 16 larger than in FIGS. 5 and 6 is indicated.
- the Fig. 7 shows a section through the knitting point 16 of a circular knitting machine for the processing of short staple fibers by means of spinning devices of known type. Between the drafting 12 and the knitting point 16 is for spinning a unconventional yarn 21 certain spinning member 22, of which the yarn 21 in a tube 23rd is directed to a yarn guide 24, here through the outlet end of the tube 23 is formed. The mouth of the tube 23 or the thread guide 24 is in turn the suction element 18 according to FIGS. 5 and 6 across from.
- the z. B. may be a bundle yarn or Umwindegarn.
- the spinning process is adjusted so that, although a sufficiently strong yarn is produced.
- the achievement of maximum strength is not desired.
- the achieved strength needs only be so great that the thread material 21 over distances of z. B. 50 to 100 cm can be transported through the tube 23 to a knitting point 16, as is desirable in the mentioned larger circular knitting machines.
- the result is a sufficiently soft knit.
- the production is cheaper, because this knitting process in comparison to the classic approach, a shortening occurs because the coils is eliminated.
- the embodiment according to Fig. 8 relates to a device by means of which first a "temporary" yarn 25 is produced.
- this yarn 25 is therefore called because real, classic rotations arise in the yarn, which are completely degraded according to the invention before the immediate reaching the Kulierstelle.
- the Fig. 8 shows a section through the knitting point 16 of a knitting machine analogous to Fig. 7 ,
- a twisting member 26 for generating the temporary yarn 25 between the drafting unit 14 and the knitting point 16 is in the embodiment, a swirl member 26, in the interior of compressed air 27, a swirl air 28 is generated, which sucks the emerging from the drafting 14 fiber structure and spun to the temporary yarn 25.
- the temporary yarn 25 is real twisted and classic in character. It enters a spinning tube 29 in which it rotates at high speed.
- the spinning tube 29 opens into a yarn guide 30, which may also be formed by the circular knitting machine facing the end of the spinning tube 29.
- the spinning tube 29 is in turn the suction 18 opposite.
- a device of this kind provides analogous to FIGS. 5 and 6 An extremely soft knit, which is also cheap, because the classic spinning process is bypassed and no coils is provided.
- Advantages of in Fig. 8 used false twist principle also consist in that the transported in the spinning tube 29 yarn 25 meets all strength requirements and can be transported over long distances, while the finished fabric has all the advantages of the basis of the Fig. 2 described Fiber Association 5 provides.
- the reverse rotation of the temporary yarn 25 to zero or almost zero occurs automatically on the way to the yarn guide 32 of the Kulierstelle 31, so that preferably no special measures for the reverse rotation are provided.
- the Fig. 9 shows a section through the knitting point 16 of a knitting machine in an embodiment with a plurality of successively connected, substantially identical swirl members 26a, 26b and 26c. Their application is preferably provided when the output rollers 12 of the drafting system 14 are far away from the knitting point 16 as a result of the overall geometry. Between each two consecutive swirl members 26a and 26b or 26b and 26c is the generation a vortex necessary compressed air flow 27 a, 27 b and 27 c preferably via vents 33, z. B. a gap on the relevant pipe 29, discharged to the outside.
- the twist elements 26a to 26c are z. B. all pressurized with compressed air and generate the vortex 28 ( Fig. 8 ). It is then energetically useful to stagger the required to drive the vortex 28 compressed air streams 27, 27b and 27c.
- the compressed air flow 27a is then less strong (eg 0.2 bar) than the compressed air flows 27b and 27c (eg 3 to 4 bar).
- the central swirl element 26b can be subjected to a maximum air pressure, while the swirl element 26c located in the immediate vicinity of the knitting point 16 is operated with an average air pressure. If such a device is set in motion, first all swirling elements 26a, 26b and 26c are acted on by a compressed air flow 27a, 27b and 27c. If a stationary operating state is reached, the pressure loss streams 27a, 27b can be reduced or made completely zero.
- the compressed air flow 27c remains fully turned on in any case.
- a fiber material 7 is supplied, according to Fig. 3 in addition to the fiber structure 5 additionally contains the auxiliary thread 8.
- the auxiliary thread 8 can be fed to the knitting point 16 via a further thread guide lying next to the thread guide 30 or at a location between the exit rollers 12 and the twist element 26.
- a preferred embodiment is when the auxiliary thread 8 is fed via the yarn guide tube 34 immediately before the exit rollers 12 of the drafting system 14, such as Fig. 10 shows. This embodiment is advantageous because it makes the entire spinning and knitting safer against yarn breakage.
- the Fig. 11 shows the outline of a circular knitting machine 35 with the needle cylinder 11.
- the drafting units 14 are arranged distributed in three groups 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3 to the cylinder 11 of the circular knitting machine 35.
- Each group 14.1 to 14.3 has a drive 37.1 to 37.3, which is suitably synchronized with the drive of the needle cylinder 11, not shown.
- Each group 14.1 to 14.3 of drafting units 14 is associated with a corresponding number of cans 38 which od the fiber material in the form of a.
- Each drafting system 14 of a drafting system group 14.1 to 14.3 is also assigned to a respective system or knitting point 16 of the circular knitting machine 35.
- larger dead zones 39 may be arranged in which the circular knitting machine 35 has no or at least no knitting points 16 used in the spinning knitting.
- This serves the purpose of the provided with active knitting 16 peripheral portions over a limited angular range ⁇ of z. B. extend 60 ° to avoid too strong changes in direction in the thread path between the drafting groups 14.1 to 14.3 and the associated knitting points.
- Is in Fig. 11 are each indicated by two outer lines 40a, 40b, which define the furthest outermost thread paths (eg, spinning tubes 29 in FIG Fig. 8 ) describe. Between these two lines 40a, 40b are the yarn paths for the coming of the remaining drafting of each drafting group group 14.1 to 14.3 thread materials 4 and 7 respectively.
- the Fig. 12 shows a roughly schematic, vertical partial section through an inventive device according to Fig. 10 with a circular knitting machine 41, which is designed in the embodiment as a right / left circular knitting machine.
- the circular knitting machine 41 with the needle cylinder 11 stands on the hall floor.
- the passage 42 is defined by a group of cans 38 (FIG. Fig. 11 ), in which there are the Lunten, which z. B. designed as conveyor belts transport devices 43 are guided to the drafting devices 14.
- the drafting devices 14 are operated by a working platform 44, which is located above the passage 42, and are connected via the yarn guide tubes 34 and Fournisseure 45 with supply spools 46 containing the auxiliary threads 8. This arrangement results in a bow-shaped passage 47, in which an operator can move.
- a fiber structure coming from a drafting system 14 is fed via pipes 23 (FIG. Fig. 7 ) or spinning tubes 29 (FIG. Fig. 8 to 10 ) led to a knitting point 16.
- the suction member 18 is provided, in which a separator 48 is integrated, which serves to start the knitting machine 41, as explained below.
- the suction elements 18 of the knitting points 16 are preferably connected to a central suction 49. This absorbs thread remnants or fibers, which occur during startup or during production as a departure.
- the knitting machine 41 is preferably a large circular knitting machine which produces a knitwear having a very large circumference, which may be even more remarkable when the dead zones 39 (FIG. Fig. 11 ) are present
- the trigger is preferably laid in such a case in a basement floor 50 so that the machine remains operable.
- the Fournisseure 45 Between the yarn guide tubes 34 and the supply spools 46 are the Fournisseure 45. These allow easy starting a circular knitting machine of the type described.
- Each feeder 45 owns Fig. 13 preferably a pressure roller 51 and a drive roller 52 which is coupled to a drive 53 via a freewheel 54. In the gap between the pressure roller 51 and the drive roller 52, an auxiliary thread 8 is guided.
- the drive 53 is adjusted so that the delivery speed of a feeder 45 is less than the delivery speed of the associated drafting system 14. This ensures that the feeder 45 in the sense of a positive delivery device, the transport speed of the auxiliary thread 8 in the yarn guide tube 34 so long checked until the auxiliary thread 8 has safely entered the exit rollers 12 of the associated drafting system 14. Thereafter, and during high-speed knitting, the transport speed of the auxiliary thread 8 in the yarn guide tube 34 is determined by the exit rollers 12, in which case the freewheel 54 is effective and the auxiliary thread 8 is withdrawn from the associated supply spool 46 by the exit rollers 12.
- the feeders 45 are started, their delivery speeds are smaller than the delivery speeds of the output rollers 12 of the associated drafting units 14.
- the auxiliary threads 8 pass through the feeders 45 and through the thread guide tubes 34 into the drafting arrangements 12 and via the spinning devices 22 and twist elements 26 to the knitting points 16, where they are sucked by the suction elements 18 and arranged radially to the needle circle of the needle cylinder 11.
- the drafting units 14 and the Fournisseure 45 are stopped.
- the present in the suction 18 and held auxiliary threads 8 are now capped by means of the separation devices 48, that is cut short behind the knitting needles 17, and simultaneously the needle cylinder 11 and the drafting devices 14 are set in synchronism with a preselected gear ratio in motion, so that the needles 17th Although be expelled, but for the time being only the auxiliary thread 8 record.
- the spinning knitting machine now knits in a conventional manner a so-called. Sack, which is absorbed by the trigger. If the knitting process then progresses so far that the trigger works properly, the drafting devices 14 are supplied by switching on the transport devices 43 sequentially and / or in parallel with Lunten.
- the described method can be applied in analogous adaptation in flat knitting machines or circular knitting machines with still standing needle cylinder and rotating lock shell. It is clear that instead of a circular knitting machine with only one font (for example needle cylinder 11), a circular knitting machine with a further font (for example a dial) can also be used. Furthermore, in Fig. 11 the dead zones 39 are filled with further drafting device groups 14, if the space available on a circular knitting machine allow this and no disturbing, arranged on the circumference of the needle cylinder supports od. Like. Are present. In this way, each existing knitting system could be assigned a drafting system 14 with the associated and described elements. Finally, it should be understood that the various features may be applied in combinations other than those described and illustrated.

Maschenwaren der hier interessierenden Art, insbesondere solchen, die auf einer Rundstrickmaschine hergestellt werden, ist gemeinsam, daß sie zumindest ein aus Fadenmaterial hergestelltes Grundgestrick aufweisen bzw. erfordern. Der Charakter einer solchen Maschenware wird im Wesentlichen durch die Art des verwendeten Fadenmaterials und der im Einzelfall vorgesehenen Bindung innerhalb des Grundgestricks geprägt. Für Maschenwaren des Bekleidungssektors gelten außerdem besondere Anforderungen an die Trageeigenschaften wie beispielsweise Wasseraufnahmevermögen, Weichheit oder Schmiegsamkeit. Unter den Begriff Fadenmaterial fallen hier alle handelsüblichen Garne, die aus einem oder mehreren, lang gestreckten bzw. endlosen Faden bestehen.Knitwear of the type of interest here, in particular those which are produced on a circular knitting machine, has in common that they have or require at least one basic knitted fabric made of thread material. The character of such a knit fabric is essentially characterized by the type of thread material used and the provided in each case binding within the base knit. For knitwear of the garment sector also have special requirements for wearing properties such as water absorption, softness or pliability. The term thread material here includes all commercially available yarns, which consist of one or more, elongated or endless thread.
Der Tragekomfort eines gestrickten Bekleidungsstücks steigt mit seiner Weichheit. Bei bis heute produzierten Strickwaren aller Art, die aus Garnen hergestellt werden, die überwiegend natürliche Stapelfasern oder Mischungen davon mit Chemiefasern enthalten, hängt die Weichheit der Gestricke weitgehend vom Garnaufbau und von den zu seiner Herstellung verwendeten Spinnverfahren ab. Der Zweck der Spinnverfahren besteht darin, die Stapelfasern durch Erteilung einer Drehung miteinander so anzuordnen, dass dadurch ein Garn entsteht, dessen wesentliches Merkmal in der Aufnahme von Zugkräften besteht.The comfort of a knit garment increases with its softness. In knitwear of all types produced to date, which are made from yarns containing predominantly natural staple fibers or blends thereof with man-made fibers, the softness of the fabrics largely depends on the yarn structure and the spinning process used to make it. The purpose of the spinning process is to arrange the staple fibers together by imparting rotation so as to form a yarn whose essential feature is the absorption of tensile forces.
Extrem weiche Gestricke lassen sich weder aus klassischen Ringgarnen noch aus sogenannten unkonventionellen Garnen wie beispielsweise Rotorgarnen, Bündelgarnen oder Umwindegarnen herstellen, da Garne immer Drehungen und Bündelungen aufweisen, die zu einer merklichen Starre im Gestrick führen. Allenfalls klassisches Ringgam liefert Maschengebilde mit angenehmen Trageigenschaften. Der Wunsch nach extrem weichen Maschenwaren kann daher mit den bekannten Garnarten nicht erfüllt werden. Das gilt auch dann, wenn zur Erzielung besonderer Eigenschaften zusätzlich Futter- oder Plüschfäden (
Als Maschenwaren mit extrem weichen Oberflächen sind insbesondere sogenannte High-Pile- oder Kunstpelz-Waren bekannt (
Bekannt ist es in diesem Zusammenhang auch (
Es ist auch bereits versucht worden, durch besondere Maßnahmen beim Spinnen weich gedrehte Garne herzustellen. Der Weichheit eines Garnes sind jedoch spinntechnologisch Grenzen gesetzt, weil mit abnehmenden Drehnungen im Garn die Zugfestigkeit verloren geht.It has also been tried to produce by special measures in spinning soft twisted yarns. The softness of a yarn, however, are limited by spinning technology, because with decreasing rotations in the yarn, the tensile strength is lost.
Ein weiteres Ärgernis sind die relativ hohen Kosten feiner Garne. Diese steigen überproportional mit der Feinheit an, so daß der Erzeugung eines weichen, dehnbaren Gestricks in dieser Richtung Kostengrenzen gesetzt sind. Außerdem werden die verwendeten Fäden den Strickmaschinen in Form von Spulen vorgelegt, welche in zeitlich und räumlich vom Stricken getrennten Prozessen erzeugt werden, was die Produktionskosten ebenfalls beeinflusst.Another annoyance is the relatively high cost of fine yarns. These increase disproportionately with the fineness, so that the production of a soft, stretchable knitted fabric in this direction cost limits are set. In addition, the threads used are presented to the knitting machines in the form of coils, which are produced in processes separate in time and space from the knitting, which also influences the production costs.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik hat sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe gestellt, den Produktionsprozess zu verkürzen und ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung einer den Tragekomfort verbessernden Maschenwaren auf Stapelfaserbasis zu schaffen, deren Griff auch ohne Anwendung besonderer Fadenmaterialien oder Plüsch- oder Futterfäden, ohne die Einbindung zusätzlicher Faserbüschel und ohne besondere Ausrüstung od. dgl. extrem weich ist.Based on this prior art, the invention has the object to shorten the production process and to provide a method and an apparatus for producing a comfort-enhancing knitwear based on staple fibers, the handle without the use of special thread materials or plush or lining threads, without the integration of additional tufts and without special equipment od. Like. Extremely soft.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe dienen die kennzeichnenden Merkmale der Ansprüche 1 und 9.To solve this problem, the characterizing features of
Eine wesentliche Besonderheit der erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren und Vorrichtungen besteht darin, dass der Strickmaschine kein übliches oder nach den eingangs beschriebenen Verfahren hergestelltes Garn od. dgl., sondern ein Faserverband zugeführt wird, der aus unverdrehten, parallel zueinander angeordneten Stapelfasern besteht und unmittelbar vor dem Einlauf in die Strickstelle, d. h. an der Strickmaschine selbst erzeugt wird.An essential feature of the method and apparatuses according to the invention is that the knitting machine is not supplied with a customary yarn or yarn or the like described in the introduction, but a fiber structure consisting of untwisted staple fibers arranged parallel to one another and immediately before entry into the knitting point, d. H. produced on the knitting machine itself.
Eine wesentliche Besonderheit der mit den erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren und Vorrichtungen hergestellten Strickwaren besteht darin, dass sie aus einem Fadenmaterial bestehen, das kein Garn darstellt. Vielmehr werden die Strickwaren erfindungsgemäß direkt aus einem Faserverband hergestellt, der aus unverdrehten und im Wesentlichen parallelen Stapelfasern gebildet ist. Dadurch wird eine Maschenware mit extremer Weichheit erhalten.An essential feature of the knitwear produced by the methods and devices according to the invention is that they consist of a thread material which is not yarn. Rather, the knitwear according to the invention are made directly from a fiber structure, which is formed from untwisted and substantially parallel staple fibers. This results in a knit fabric with extreme softness.
Bei einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird ein maschenbildender Faden für die erfindungsgemäße Maschenware aus zwei Komponenten hergestellt, nämlich dem erfindungsgemäßen Faserverband und einem vorzugsweise parallel und unverdreht zu diesem laufenden Hilfsfaden. Der Hilfsfaden kann ein Mono- oder Multifilament sein, wobei das Multifilament auch mit echten Schutzdrehungen versehen sein kann. Unabhängig davon wird der Hilfsfaden zweckmäßig derart gewählt, dass der Charakter der Maschenware überwiegend von der aus dem Faserverband bestehenden Komponente geprägt ist.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a stitch-forming thread for the knitwear according to the invention is made of two components, namely the fiber structure according to the invention and a preferably parallel and untwisted to this ongoing auxiliary thread. The auxiliary thread can be a monofilament or multifilament, wherein the multifilament can also be provided with real protective rotations. Regardless, the auxiliary thread is expediently chosen such that the character of the knitwear is predominantly characterized by the component consisting of the fiber structure.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren und die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung gehen vorzugsweise davon aus, einen nach Art einer Lunte ausgebildeten Faserverband vor der Maschenbildung in einem Streckwerk auf die gewünschte Feinheit zu strecken und danach direkt oder nach einer aus stricktechnischen Gründen zweckmäßigen Vorbehandlung zu Maschen zu verarbeiten. Letzteres kann beispielsweise mit einer Flachoder Rundstrickmaschine erfolgen, die als Rechts/Rechts-, Rechts/Links- oder Links/Links-Rundstrickmaschine ausgebildet sein kann. Ausgebend davon werden erfindungsgemäß verschiedene Varianten vorgeschlagen.The inventive method and the device according to the invention are preferably based on stretching a fiber structure formed in the manner of a sliver before the stitch formation in a drafting to the desired fineness and then to process directly or after a suitable for knitting technical reasons pretreatment to mesh. The latter can be done, for example, with a flat or circular knitting machine, which can be configured as a right / right, right / left or left / left circular knitting machine. Issuing this, various variants are proposed according to the invention.
Eine erste erfindungsgemäße Variante liegt vor, wenn die aus dem Streckwerk austretenden Stapelfasern als Faserverband in eine Spinnvorrichtung gelangen, in der sie zu einem unkonventionellen Garn (z. B. Bündelgarn oder Umwindegarn) versponnen werden. Hierdurch wird der Faserverband verfestigt, um ihn über größere Entfernungen zur Strickstelle einer Rundstrickmaschine transportieren zu können. Es kommt hierbei aber nicht auf die Erzielung einer maximalen Zugfestigkeit, sondern auf die Beibehaltung des gewünschten weichen Griffs an.A first variant according to the invention is present when the staple fibers emerging from the drafting system arrive in a spinning device as fiber structure in which they are spun into an unconventional yarn (eg bundle yarn or cover yarn). As a result, the fiber structure is solidified in order to be able to transport it over long distances to the knitting point of a circular knitting machine. However, it does not depend on the achievement of a maximum tensile strength, but on the maintenance of the desired soft grip.
Entsprechendes gilt für eine zweite Variante, bei der der aus dem Streckwerk austretende Faserstrom von einem Drallorgan zu einem temporären, echt gedrehten klassischen Garn versponnen wird, das z. B. in einem Spinnrohr rotiert und durch dieses hindurch an eine Strickstelle bzw. an einen der Strickstelle zugeordneten Fadenführer transportiert wird. Ein weicher Griff entsteht, weil die echten Drehungen auf der kurzen Strecke zwischen dem Fadenführer bzw. dem Ende eines Spinnrohres und der Strickstelle durch den Falschdrahteffekt wieder aufgelöst werden. Das erhaltene Gestrick ist dann extrem weich und angenehm im Griff.The same applies to a second variant, in which the emerging from the drafting fiber stream is spun from a twisting body to a temporary, really twisted classic yarn z. B. is rotated in a spinning tube and transported therethrough to a knitting point or to a knitting point associated thread guide. A soft grip is created because the real turns on the short distance between the thread guide and the end of a spinning tube and the knitting point are resolved by the false-twist effect again. The resulting knit is then extremely soft and comfortable to the touch.
Schließlich sieht eine weitere Variante vor, daß zusätzlich zum Faserverband ein Hilfsfaden an der Strickstelle mit einläuft. Der Hilfsfaden wird vorzugsweise vor dem Ausgangswalzenpaar des Streckwerks zugespeist. Er durchläuft das Ausgangswalzenpaar und nimmt am Bildungsprozeß des temporären Garnes teil. Das aus dem Faserstrom und dem Hilfsfaden bestehende kombinierte Fadenmaterial bildet Maschen, die wiederum einem extrem weichen Griff besitzen, insbesondere weil zwischen Hilfsfaden und Faserstrom keinerlei Drehungen bestehen, d. h. Faserverband und Hilfsfaden in den Maschen parallel laufen.Finally, another variant provides that, in addition to the fiber structure, an auxiliary thread runs in at the knitting point. The auxiliary thread is preferably fed in front of the pair of delivery rollers of the drafting system. He goes through the exit roller pair and participates in the formation process of the temporary yarn. The combined thread material consisting of the fiber stream and the auxiliary thread forms stitches, which in turn have an extremely soft hand, in particular because there are no twists between the auxiliary thread and the fiber stream, ie. H. Fiber structure and auxiliary thread parallel in the stitches.

Der Faserverband 5 nach
Wirkt eine äußere Kraft auf eine mit dem Faserverband 5 hergestellte Maschenware, so verklemmen sich die Stapelfasern in den Bindungspunkten 3 und nehmen über den Reibschluß Kraft auf. Die Maschen 1 und die aus ihnen gebildete Maschenware sind dann ebenso fest wie bei einer aus Garn bestehenden Maschenware. Ein für die Erfindung wichtiger Unterschied liegt in der Weichheit des Griffs. Der Griff einer Maschenware, welche aus Fadenmaterial 4 besteht, das seinerseits aus einem Faserverband 5 gebildet ist, ist unübertroffen weich.If an external force acts on a knitted fabric made with the

Die Herstellungsweise für den erfindungsgemäßen Faserverband 5 kann im Prinzip frei gewählt werden. Eine mögliche Herstellungsart besteht z. B. darin, daß die Querschnitte von Faserbändern (Lunten), die aus einem Streckwerk od. dgl. kommen, durch Anwendung weiterer Streckwerke auf einen zum Stricken geeigneten Wert reduziert werden. Unter einer "Lunte" wird dabei grobes, nicht gedrehtes und in Kannen od. dgl. gelagertes Faserband verstanden. Alternativ können die Faserverbände 5 auch aus Kardenbändern hergestellt und mit Streckwerken auf die gewünschte Endfeinheit gebracht werden.The method of preparation for the

An der von den Ausgangswalzen 12 abgewandten Seite des Fadenführers 15 und auf der Rückseite der Nadeln 17 ist ein Absaugelement 18 angeordnet. Der aus dem Streckwerk 14 austretende Faserverband 5 wird von dem Absaugelement 18 durch den Fadenführer 15 hindurch gegen den Nadelzylinder 11 gesaugt und sofort so Maschen verarbeitet. Der Abstand des Fadenführers 15 von den Nadeln 17 beträgt nur einige Millimeter. Die Maschenbildung wird dadurch ermöglicht, daß das Fadenmaterial 4 zunächst vom Absaugelement 18 angesaugt und radial zur Nadelzylinderachse so gelegt und gespannt gehalten wird, daß es von den an der Strickstelle 16 in eine Fadenaufnahmestellung angehobenen Stricknadeln 17 erfaßt und bei deren Abzug in die Maschenbildungs- bzw. Kulierstellung zu Maschen verarbeitet werden kann.At the side facing away from the

Der aus dem Streckwerk 12 kommende Faserverband 4 wird hier zu einem unkonventionellen Garn 21 versponnen, das z. B. ein Bündelgarn oder Umwindegarn sein kann. Der Spinnvorgang wird so eingestellt, daß zwar ein hinreichend festes Garn entsteht. Die Erzielung einer maximalen Festigkeit wird jedoch nicht angestrebt. Die erzielte Festigkeit braucht nur so groß sein, daß das Fadenmaterial 21 über Strecken von z. B. 50 bis 100 cm durch das Rohr 23 zu einer Strickstelle 16 transportiert werden kann, wie es bei dem erwähnten größeren Rundstrickmaschinen erwünscht ist.The coming out of the drafting 12
Es entsteht ein hinreichend weiches Gestrick. Die Herstellung verbilligt sich, weil diesem Strickprozeß im Vergleich zum klassischen Vorgehen eine Verkürzung eintritt, da das Spulen entfällt.The result is a sufficiently soft knit. The production is cheaper, because this knitting process in comparison to the classic approach, a shortening occurs because the coils is eliminated.

Der Antrieb 53 ist so eingestellt, daß die Liefergeschwindigkeit eines Fournisseurs 45 kleiner als die Liefergeschwindigkeit des zugehörigen Streckwerks 14 ist. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß der Fournisseur 45 im Sinne einer positiven Liefervorrichtung die Transportgeschwindigkeit des Hilfsfadens 8 im Fadenführerrohr 34 so lange kontrolliert, bis der Hilfsfaden 8 sicher in die Ausgangswalzen 12 des zugehörigen Streckwerks 14 gelangt ist. Danach und während des Strickens mit hoher Geschwindigkeit wird die Transportgeschwindigkeit des Hilfsfadens 8 im Fadenführerrohr 34 dagegen durch die Ausgangswalzen 12 bestimmt, in welchem Fall der Freilauf 54 wirksam und der Hilfsfaden 8 mittels der Ausgangswalzen 12 von der zugehörigen Vorratsspule 46 abgezogen wird.The
Die Vorrichtungen der beschriebenen Art, die auch als Spinnstrickmaschinen bezeichnet werden können, werden z. B. wie folgt in Gang gesetzt:
Die Nadeln 12 desNadelzylinders 11 werden zunächst nicht ausgetrieben und befinden sich alle in Rundlaufstellung.Die Hilfsfäden 8 sind indie Fournisseure 45 eingelegt worden.Die Spinnorgane 22 bzw. dieDrallorgane 26 sowie dieStreckwerke 14 laufen mit einer zur Nadelsylinderumdrehung synchronen Geschwindigkeit. Allerdings werden ausden Kannen 38 noch keine Lunten durch die Transporteinrichtungen 43 angeliefert, die als Luntenstopps wirken.

needles 12 of theneedle cylinder 11 are not expelled initially and are all in the concentric position. Theauxiliary threads 8 have been inserted into theFournisseure 45. The spinningelements 22 or the twistingelements 26 and thedrafting devices 14 run at a speed synchronous to the needle cylinder rotation. However, from thecans 38 still no Lunten delivered by the transport devices 43, which act as Luntenstopps.
Es werden jetzt zunächst die Fournisseure 45 in Gang gesetzt, deren Liefergeschwindigkeiten kleiner als die Liefergeschwindigkeiten der Ausgangswalzen 12 der zugehörigen Streckwerke 14 sind. Dadurch gelangen die Hilfsfäden 8 durch die Fournisseure 45 und durch die Fadenführerrohre 34 in die Streckwerke 12 und über die Spinnvorrichtungen 22 bzw. Drallorgane 26 an die Strickstellen 16, wo sie von den Absaugelementen 18 angesaugt und radial zum Nadelkreis des Nadelzylinders 11 angeordnet werden. Nachdem alle Strickstellen 16 mit Hilfsfäden 8 versorgt sind, werden die Streckwerke 14 und die Fournisseure 45 stillgesetzt. Die in den Absaugelementen 18 befindlichen und gehaltenen Hilfsfäden 8 werden jetzt mittels der Trennvorrichtungen 48 gekappt, d. h. kurz hinter den Stricknadeln 17 abgeschnitten, und gleichzeitig werden der Nadelzylinder 11 und die Streckwerke 14 mit einem vorgewählten Übersetzungsverhältnis synchron in Gang gesetzt, so daß die Nadeln 17 zwar ausgetrieben werden, vorerst aber nur den Hilfsfaden 8 aufnehmen. Die Spinnstrickmaschine strickt jetzt in konventioneller Weise einen sog. Sack, der vom Abzug aufgenommen wird. Ist der Strickvorgang dann so weit fortgeschritten, daß der Abzug ordnungsgemäß arbeitet, werden die Streckwerke 14 durch Einschalten der Transporteinrichtungen 43 sequentiell und/oder parallel mit Lunten versorgt. Unter "sequentiell" wird dabei verstanden, daß die Streckwerke 14 nicht gleichzeitig, sondern z. B. in Umfangsrichtung des Nadelzylinders 11 nacheinander eingeschaltet werden, um beim Anlaufen der Rundstrickmaschine Ungleichförmigkeiten und Verstopfungen durch die Fasern im Bereich der Nadeln 17 zu vermeiden.Initially, the
