Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a knitting machine having a yarn clamp assembly that is installed onto the knitting machine to enhance the fixation of the bottom of additional yarns.
  • the wrap knitting method can be implemented more easily, but has a problem that the yarn will fall off easily.
  • the fabric regardless of the loop of the towel fabric or the artificial fur woven by the wrap knitting method may be damaged easily because both comprise loops or independent yarns with its bottom not wrapped securely into the base fabric by the base yam. If the fabric is made by a gluing method or a counter wrap knitting method, then the same issue as described above will exist.
  • US 6,735,987 B2 discloses a circular knitting machine having a yarn clamp assembly according to the preamble of claim 1, comprising knitting needles and sinkers for the production of plush fabrics.
  • Each of a plurality of knitting systems has a means for controlling the knitting needles into a knock-over position and pattern devices arranged in front of this means.
  • the first pattern device is provided with a ground-thread guide and serves for selectively controlling the knitting needles into a knitting or tucking position intended for the pick-up of ground thread or a noun-knitting position intended for the non-pick-up of ground thread.
  • a second pattern device provided with a plush-thread guide serves for selectively controlling the knitting needles into a pick-up position intended for the pick-up of plush thread or an intermediate position intended for the non-pick-up of plush thread. Furthermore, a third pattern device is provided for selectively controlling the sinkers at least into a first position intended for the formation of shorter plush-thread loops or a second position intended for the formation of longer plush-thread loops.
  • the configuration of the yarn clamp assembly is, however, relatively complex.
  • GB 2 289 479 A discloses circular knitting machine for knitting pile fabric for weaving a fabric having yarn wools with an appearance similar to furs.
  • dial needles are provided on a dial and matching with cylinder sinkers, so that there is always only one dial needle associated with one cylinder sinkers.
  • the yarn clamp assembly comprises a plurality of sinkers forming a plurality of needle spaces between the sinkers and a set of first and second knitting needles disposed in each of the needle spaces, the plurality of sinkers being transversally and separately disposed from the set of first and second knitting.
  • the base yarn forms two fixing loops coupled on the wool yam, so as to enhance the fastening effect of the loop at the bottom surface.
  • a sinker forming a loop includes a cutter for cutting the loop to produce yarn wool, and the yarn wool is fixed onto the bottom by fixing the loop by the foregoing yarn clamp assembly of the knitting machine.
  • a further objective of the present invention is to add the foregoing loop or yarn wool.
  • the length of the base fabric is extended to increase the distance between the needle disc and the sinker cylinder of the knitting machine, so that the distance of the vertices of the base fabric and the loop is increased, and the length of the loop or yarn wool is increased.
  • the yarn clamp assembly of a knitting machine knits a fabric having a loop on a side by a wrap knitting method and comprises a plurality of sinkers 20 transversally and separately disposed on the sinker cyinder 2, and the plurality of sinkers 20 form a plurality of needle spaces among them, such that a needle disc 1 disposed on the knitting machine comprises a plurality of knitting needles such as the first and second knitting needle 10, 11 disposed in each of the needle space.
  • Each knitting needle includes a needle hook 101, 111 serving as a yarn clamping section for hooking the yarn back and forth.
  • the yarn includes a wool yarn 3 formed on the loop surface and a base yarn 4 formed on the fabric base of the fabric.
  • the wool yarn 3 is hooked by the first knitting needle 10 and the second knitting needle 11 on both sides of the sinker 20 at a circular position of the wool yarn and coupled to the sinker 20 to form the top of the loop 30.
  • the wool yarn 3 is further hooked at a circular position of a base yarn by the first knitting needle 10 and second knitting needle 11 in the needle spaces and hooked to the wool yarn 3 to hook the base yarn 4 and form two fixing loops B of the wool yarn 3 and the bottom of the loop 30 as shown in FIG. 5 .
  • the needle disc 1 drives the plurality of first and second knitting needles 10, 11 to move during the action
  • the sinker cylinder 2 drives the plurality of sinkers 20 to move, so that the first and second knitting needles 10, 11 repeat the hooking of yarns back and forth at the needle spaces of two adjacent sinkers 20.
  • two loops 30 can be formed, and two adjacent sinkers 20 and four adjacent knitting needles 10, 11 of the two sinkers 20 are considered as a knitting opening.
  • the wool yarn 3 hooked by the first knitting needle 10 and the second knitting needle 11 at the external knitting opening are woven into the base fabric with the full needle method by the base yarn 4, and the wool yarn 3 hooked by the first knitting needle 10 and the second knitting needle 11 disposed at the internal side of the knitting opening is knitted into the base yarn 4 to form two fixing loops B similarly by the full needle method, and the two fixing loops B have the effect of fixing the two loops 30 onto the base fabric.
  • a latch 102, 112 of the first and second knitting needles 10, 11 is guided to the needle hook 101, 111 including the base yarn 4, such that the base yarn 4 and the wool yarn 3 form a wrap knitting status by pressing the base yarn 4 onto the wool yarn 3.
  • the foregoing two fixing loops B improve the connecting strength of the loop 30 formed by the wrap knitting method with the base fabric. Therefore, if the loop 30 is pulled by external forces it has a solid bottom structure to prevent the fabric structure from being damaged.
  • the foregoing yarn clamp assembly of the knitting machine can attach the bottom of the loop 30 to the base fabric of the fabric and will not be loosened easily, so that the yarn clamp assembly can be applied to the wrap knitting method to knit a fabric with cut piles 31 as shown in FIG 4 , so that the bottom of the cut piles 31 produced by the wrap knitting method can be secured onto the fabric base of the fabric.
  • a cutter 5 is installed at the lateral side of the sinker 20 for cutting the top of the loop 30, and the bottom of the loop 30 is connected securely by the two fixing loops B, and then the sinker 20 continues its movement.
  • the cutter 5 cuts the loop 30 situated at the top of the sinker 20 to form the cut pile 31.
  • This method is used to produce the cut piles 31 of the fabric. Since the bottom of the cut pile 31 is secured by the two fixing loops B into the fabric base of the fabric, the connecting structure of the two will be increased greatly, and a fabric is produced having cut piles 31, which are less prone to loosen.
  • FIG. 4 shows a schematic view of a further preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the gap A between the needle disc 1 and the sinker cylinder 2 is increased, so that the distance between the second hooking yarn point and the sinker 20 formed at the top of the loop 30 is increased, and the distance between the bottom of the loop 30 and the top of the loop 30 is increased correspondingly (as described above, the loop 30 is cut and processed by the cutter 5 to produce cut piles 31), and the loop 30 or cut pile 31 of approximately 15mm long is produced.
