Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for joining portions of knitting produced by at least two mutually spaced groups of needles of a bed, in circular hosiery knitting machines with two beds or the like, in which the two beds are coaxial and face each other.
  • the method according to the invention can be used in particular to join portions of knitting produced by at least two groups of needles located in two sectors of a same bed, constituted for example by the needle cylinder of a cylinder-and-dial machine, which are mutually angularly spaced around the axis of the bed, on the same machine used to produce them.
  • Circular hosiery knitting machines which have two coaxial and mutually facing beds and are constituted for example by a needle cylinder, which has a vertical axis, and by a dial, which is arranged above and coaxially with respect to the needle cylinder.
  • a plurality of axial slots are provided on the lateral surface of the needle cylinder, and each slot accommodates a needle which can be actuated with a reciprocating motion along the corresponding axial groove in order to produce knitting.
  • each of which accommodates at least one engagement element which can be constituted by a hook or by a pusher or by a needle, which can move on command along the corresponding radial slot in order to pass from an extracted position, in which it protrudes from the peripheral profile of the dial, to a retracted position, in which it is recessed within the dial in order to avoid interfering with the needles of the needle cylinder.
  • the engagement elements can interact with at least one needle of the needle cylinder in order to engage a loop of knitting or more generally a portion of a row of knitting produced by the needles of the needle cylinder or in order to release a loop of knitting or a portion of a row of knitting engaged previously to a needle of the needle cylinder.
  • the engagement elements can retain the loop of knitting or portion of row engaged previously without interfering with the needles of the needle cylinder.
  • the engagement elements can pick up loops of knitting, in the strict sense of the term, from the needles that have produced them or can retain portions of loop linking yam during the formation of a row of knitting by the needles of the needle cylinder and then release to the needles of the needle cylinder the loops of knitting previously picked up or the portions of loop linking yam previously retained.
  • loop of knitting is understood hereinafter to designate a portion of a row of knitting which can be constituted by a loop of knitting in the strict sense of the term or by a portion of loop linking yam.
  • each engagement element is constituted by two or more elements arranged side-by-side, which are generally arranged in a same radial slot of the dial and cooperate with each other and with the needles of the needle cylinder in order to pick up loops of knitting from the needles of the needle cylinder or release to the needles of the needle cylinder loops of knitting previously picked up by other needles of the needle cylinder or retained during the formation of a row of knitting on the part of the needles of the needle cylinder.
  • the engagement elements arranged in the dial are constituted by needles
  • said needles in addition to being usable to engage or pick up loops of knitting produced by the needles of the needle cylinder, can also be used to produce knitting.

  • an object of the invention is to provide a method which, by avoiding the sewing operation in order to join portions of knitting, allows to reduce the production costs of these items of clothing.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method which, by avoiding the use of stitched seams to join portions of items of clothing, allows to produce items of clothing which are more comfortable.

  • the engagement elements of the dial are constituted by needles, i.e., elements which can be actuated in order to form knitting
  • the expression "first bed” can be referred again to the needle cylinder and the expression “second bed” can be referred again to the dial or, equally, the expression “first bed” can be referred to the dial and the expression “second bed” can be referred to the needle cylinder.
  • the needles of the needle cylinder constitute the engagement elements of the second bed.

  • the method according to the invention is meant to be performed preferably with a circular hosiery knitting machine provided with a needle cylinder 1, which has a vertical axis 1a, and with a dial 4, which faces upwardly and coaxially the needle cylinder 1; said needle cylinder and said dial can each be actuated by means of a corresponding electric motor, with the possibility to manage electronically the way in which the two electric motors are actuated so as to turn, in some steps of the operation of the machine, the dial 4 rigidly or jointly with respect to the needle cylinder 1 about the common axis 1a and turn, in other steps of the operation of the machine, the dial 4 with respect to the needle cylinder 1 through angles which can vary according to the different operating requirements.
  • the dial 4 of the machine is provided with engagement elements, which can be actuated in order to engage loops of knitting 60 of a row of knitting produced by the needles of the needle cylinder 1 or in order to release loops of knitting 60, previously engaged, to needles of the needle cylinder 1.
  • Each engagement element can be constituted, in a per se known manner, by a needle or by at least one pusher or by at least one hook.
  • each engagement elements can comprise two or more elements arranged side-by-side, which cooperate with each other in order to engage a loop of knitting 60 to be transferred and then transfer it to a needle of the needle cylinder 1.

  • the needles of the needle cylinder 1, if they can release loops of knitting 60 to the needles of the dial 4, are provided likewise with a lateral spring, which defines, on the side of the shank of the needle, in a region which is spaced from the region where the latch of the needle acts, a slot astride which it is possible to arrange the loop of knitting that must be transferred and in which the tip of the needle of the dial 4 that must receive said loop of knitting can be inserted.
  • the method according to the invention in its more general embodiment, comprises a step for producing, with a first group of needles arranged in a first sector A of the needle cylinder 1, at least one first portion of knitting 2, which is composed of a plurality of rows of knitting, and a step of producing, with a second group of needles arranged in a second sector B of the needle cylinder 1, which is angularly spaced with respect to the first sector A around the axis 1a of the needle cylinder 1, at least one second portion of knitting 3 composed of a plurality of rows of knitting.
  • the method comprises a first step for transferring at least one row of knitting of the second portion of knitting 3 to at least part of the needles of a group of joining needles arranged in a third sector C of the needle cylinder 1, which is interposed between the first sector A and the second sector B, and a second step for transferring at least one row of knitting of the first portion of knitting 2 to at least part of the needles of the group of joining needles.
  • Both the first transfer step and the second transfer step are performed by using the engagement elements arranged in the dial 4 and by means of an angular offset of the dial 4 with respect to the needle cylinder 1.
  • first transfer step and “second transfer step” only in order to distinguish them from each other, but not to give an order of occurrence to the two steps, since depending on the joining requirements of the portions of knitting 2 and 3 it is possible to perform first the first transfer step or the second transfer step.
  • Each one of the transfer steps comprises a step for engaging, by means of the engagement elements arranged in a sector D, E of the dial 4, a row of knitting of the first portion of knitting 2 formed by the first group of needles, arranged in the first sector A, or a row of knitting of the second portion of knitting 3 formed by the second group of needles arranged in the second sector B, a step for the angular offset of the dial 4 with respect to the needle cylinder 1 about its axis 1a in order to arrange the sector D, E of the dial 4 so that it is closer to, or faces, the third sector C of the needle cylinder 1, and a step for releasing the row of knitting of the first portion of knitting 2 or of the second portion of knitting 3, previously picked up by the engagement elements of the dial 4, from the engagement elements of the dial 4 to the needles of the group of joining needles, which are arranged in the third sector C of the needle cylinder 1.

  • the step for producing the first portion of knitting 2 is performed simultaneously with the step for producing the second portion of knitting 3 respectively by means of the first group of needles of the sector A and by means of the second group of needles of the sector B of the needle cylinder 1.
  • the engagement step can be performed by picking up the final row of knitting produced by the needles of the first group of needles in the sector A of the needle cylinder 1 and/or the final row of knitting produced by the needles of the second group of needles in the sector B of the needle cylinder 1, by means of the engagement elements located in the dial 4.

  • the engagement elements of the dial 4 during the formation of the first row of knitting or of an intermediate row of knitting of the first portion of knitting 2 and/or of the second portion of knitting 3, are moved into the extracted position so that the thread fed to the needles of the first group of needles and/or of the second group of needles of the needle cylinder 1 is engaged also by the engagement elements of the dial 4, which are thus returned to the retracted position so as to retain the yam engaged previously while the needles of the first group of needles and/or of the second group of needles of the needle cylinder 1 continue forming the corresponding portion of knitting.
  • the rows of knitting picked up by the engagement elements of the dial 4 can be the initial or intermediate rows of knitting of both portions of knitting 2 and 3, or can be the final rows of knitting of both of the portions of knitting 2 and 3, or can be the initial or final row of knitting of a portion of knitting and an intermediate row of knitting of the other portion of knitting.
  • the sector of the dial 4 in which the engagement elements engaged with the row of knitting to be transferred are arranged is made to face the third sector C of the needle cylinder 1, in which the joining needles are arranged, and then the loops of knitting are passed from the engagement elements of the dial 4 to the joining needles.
  • This passage is performed without increasing or decreasing the offset of the dial 4 with respect to the needle cylinder 1 performed previously in order to make the sector of the dial 4 that supports the row of knitting to be transferred face the third sector C of the needle cylinder 1, as shown in Figure 5 .
  • This figure assumes that needles are used as engagement elements and shows the passage of a row of knitting from three needles 44, 45, 46 arranged in a sector E of the dial 4 to three joining needles 11, 12, 13 arranged in the third sector C of the needle cylinder 1.
  • the number of joining needles and of needles that constitute the engagement elements of the dial 4 may of course vary according to the requirements.

  • the reversal of the orientation of the row of knitting of the first portion of knitting 2 in passing from the sector D of the dial 4 to the needles of the group of joining needles might also be performed by starting the release from the needle 43 of the dial 4 to the needle 11 of the needle cylinder 1 and by ending with the release from the needle 41 of the dial 4 to the needle 13 of the needle cylinder 1, and the angular offset between the dial 4 and the needle cylinder 1 might be performed both clockwise and counterclockwise.
  • the ends of the sectors of the needle cylinder 1 and of the dial 4 respectively is used to designate the ends of the sectors that are occupied by needles involved in the transfer of the loops of knitting 60.
  • the release of the loops of knitting 60 from each needle of the dial 4 to the corresponding needle of the needle cylinder 1 is performed by moving the needle of the dial 4 into the extracted position so as to arrange, in each instance, the loop of knitting 60 that must be released so that it straddles the slot 51 formed by the lateral spring 50 on the side of the needle of the dial 4 and so as to align said slot 51 with the needle of the needle cylinder 1 that must receive the loop of knitting 60.
  • the needle of the needle cylinder 1 is then inserted through the slot 51 and the needle of the dial 4 is then moved to the retracted position so as to abandon the loop of knitting 60 on the needle of the needle cylinder 1, as shown in particular in Figures 7, 8 and 9 .
  • the needles of the dial 4 which must release the loop of knitting 60, as well as the needles of the needle cylinder 1 which must receive the loop of knitting 60, are selected, by means of corresponding selection devices of a known type, as mentioned above, so as to perform in each instance the extraction of one needle of the dial 4 and then its retraction into the dial 4, as well as the lifting and then the lowering of the needle of the needle cylinder 1 that must receive the loop of knitting 60, before increasing or decreasing the offset of the dial 4 with respect to the needle cylinder 1 and then extract the contiguous needle of the dial 4.
  • the extraction and retraction movement of the needles of the dial 4 and the lifting and lowering movement of the needles of the needle cylinder 1 can be achieved by actuating the needle cylinder 1 and the dial 4 with a continuous rotary motion about their axis 1a, or by actuating them with an alternating rotary motion about said axis 1a with respect to the cam or cams of the dial 4 that actuate the extraction and retraction of the needles of the dial 4 and with respect to the cams that lift and lower the needles of the needle cylinder 1.
  • the orientation of the row of knitting of the first portion of knitting 2 or of the row of knitting of the second portion of knitting 3 that is transferred can be reversed, instead of during the step for releasing the row of knitting to the group of joining needles, during the step for engaging said row of knitting if said engagement step consists of a release of the row of knitting from the needles of the first group of needles or of the second group of needles to the engagement elements of the dial 4.
  • the passage of the row of knitting from the needles of the first group of needles or of the second group of needles to the engagement elements of the dial 4 begins after the two angularly mutually closest or furthest ends of the sector D or E of the dial 4 and of the sector A or B of the needle cylinder 1 have been made to face each other and by performing the passage, in each instance, of one loop of knitting from a needle of the sector A or B to an engagement element of the sector D or E of the dial 4, gradually increasing or decreasing, between the passage of one loop of knitting and the passage of a contiguous loop of knitting, the angular offset of the dial 4 with respect to the needle cylinder 1 around its axis 1a, until the transfer of the row of knitting from the needles of the first group of needles or of the second group of needles to the engagement elements of the dial 4 is completed.

  • the second portion of knitting 3 is provided on the joining needles of the third sector C of the needle cylinder 1 with its reverse side directed toward the outside of the needle cylinder 1.
  • a second step is then performed to transfer the row of knitting of the first portion of knitting 2 engaged by the engagement elements arranged in the first sector D of the dial 4 to the needles of the group of joining needles that already support the row of knitting of the second portion of knitting 3 transferred previously.
  • the passage of the first portion of knitting 2 from the engagement elements of the first sector D of the dial 4 to the joining needles of the third sector C of the needle cylinder 1 is performed by reversing the orientation of the row of knitting during transfer.
  • the transfer is performed by offsetting, clockwise in the figures, the dial 4 with respect to the needle cylinder 1 and by gradually increasing the offset during the transfer, as described above with reference to Figures 6 to 10 .
  • the first portion of knitting 2 is arranged on the needles of the third sector C of the needle cylinder 1 so that it is orientated with its reverse side directed toward the axis 1a of the needle cylinder 1.
  • the transfer performed in this second transfer step reverses, during the transfer, the first portion of knitting 2 with respect to what would be obtained by performing a transfer by making the first sector D of the dial 4 and the third sector C of the needle cylinder 1 face each other and without increasing the offset of the dial 4 with respect to the needle cylinder 1 between the transfer of a loop of knitting 60 and the contiguous loop of knitting 60.
  • the needles of the third sector C of the needle cylinder 1 are then actuated so as to produce one or more rows of knitting, with ladder-proof or ladder-resistant structures, for joining the two portions of knitting 2, 3 before releasing the article, the production whereof can therefore be continued with the needles arranged in the first sector A and in the second sector B of the needle cylinder 1 ( Figure 4 ).
  • This embodiment of the method according to the invention can be used for example to perform the seamless joining of the two flaps of the crotch of articles such as underpants or the like.
  • the method according to the invention has been explained exclusively as regards the joining of two portions of knitting, but it can be used to join, directly on the production machine, a plurality of pairs of portions of knitting produced by the needles arranged in different sectors of the needle cylinder, optionally providing a plurality of sectors, each of which supports a group of joining needles, for example in order to join straps of body suits or bras without seams.
  • the method according to the invention has been explained under the assumption of seeking to eliminate the twisting of the portions of knitting that are joined, but the variation of the orientation of the portions of knitting during their transfer on the group of joining needles can be used in order to increase this twisting if required for aesthetic purposes or other purposes.
  • the method according to the invention has been described under the assumption that the two rows of knitting of the two portions of knitting that are joined have the same extension, but the joining of the two portions of knitting might also be performed between two rows which have mutually different dimensions, involving in the joining only a part of the longest row of knitting.
  • the method according to the invention fully achieves the intended aim, since it allows to provide, directly on the circular hosiery knitting machine with two beds or the like, used to produce an article, the joining of portions of knitting produced by groups of needles which are located in sectors of a bed which are mutually angularly spaced around the axis of the bed, thus avoiding subsequent stitching operations.
