Abstract

The method involves knitting of an access opening (12) of a sock liner, and forming areas (B1a-B1c, B2, B3) in a transverse direction to the access opening. Three sections (A1-A3) are formed in a longitudinal direction of the access opening. The two areas (B2, B3) of the section (A3) are knitted, and knitting systems (S2, S4) knitting the area (B2) are gripped together with other knitting systems (S3, S2) knitting the area (B3) within the section (A3). The knitting system (S2) knitting the areas (B1a, B1b, B1c) is gripped together with the other knitting systems knitting the area (B3). An independent claim is also included for a computer program product for executing a method for producing a sock liner.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Füßlings mit einer schlitzförmigen Einstiegsöffnung auf einer Rundstrickmaschine mit mindestens einem ersten und einem zweiten Stricksystem, wobei dem ersten Stricksystem ein erster und dem zweiten Stricksystem ein zweiter Quadrant zugeordnet ist. Sie betrifft überdies eine programmierbare Rundstrickmaschine, deren Programmierung ausgelegt ist, ein derartiges Verfahren durchzuführen, sowie ein Computerprogrammprodukt für eine Rundstrickmaschine, das zum Ausführen eines derartigen Verfahrens ausgebildet ist.The present invention relates to a method for producing a footlet having a slot-shaped access opening on a circular knitting machine with at least one first and one second knitting system, wherein the first knitting system is associated with a first quadrant and the second knitting system with a second quadrant. It also relates to a programmable circular knitting machine whose programming is designed to perform such a method, as well as a computer program product for a circular knitting machine, which is designed for carrying out such a method.

Unter so genannten Füßlingen sind in erster Näherung Socken zu verstehen, denen der röhrenförmige Teil fehlt, der dazu gedacht ist, den unteren Teil der Wade zu bedecken. Seit einigen Jahren erfreuen sich Füßlinge einer zunehmenden Beliebtheit. Sie werden besonders gerne zusammen mit Sportschuhen und Sneakers getragen und bieten den Vorteil, dass zwar nach außen der Eindruck erweckt wird, der Träger würde den Schuh direkt auf der Haut tragen, dem tatsächlich jedoch nicht so ist. Vielmehr erreicht der Träger diesen erwünschten optischen Effekt und kommt dennoch in den Vorzug, dass sich zwischen seiner Haut und dem Schuh ein Stoff befindet, der Schweiß aufnimmt sowie Schweißgeruch und Reibung reduziert. Dadurch ergibt sich ein angenehmes Tragegefühl bei einer ästhetisch ansprechenden Optik.So-called footlets are, to a first approximation, socks that lack the tubular part intended to cover the lower part of the calf. Footlets have become increasingly popular for several years. They are particularly popular with sports shoes and sneakers and have the advantage that, although the impression is given to the outside, the wearer would wear the shoe directly on the skin, which is actually not so. Rather, the wearer achieves this desired optical effect and still has the advantage that between his skin and the shoe is a substance that absorbs perspiration and reduces sweat odor and friction. This results in a comfortable fit with an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Unter einer Rundstrickmaschine ist eine Strickmaschine zu verstehen, bei der die maschenbildenden Elemente, d. h. insbesondere Nadeln und Platinen, kreisrund angeordnet sind. Beim maschinellen Rundstricken wird ein Faden in die Zungennadeln eingelegt, die Nadel geschlossen und der Faden durch die Masche gezogen, welche bereits auf der Nadel war. Anschließend wird die Nadel wieder geöffnet und nach oben gestoßen, d. h. ausgetrieben. Die Platinen, welche zwischen den Nadeln angeordnet sind, haben im Wesentlichen die Form eines liegenden Us. Ihre Aufgabe ist es, die fertig gestrickten Maschen horizontal auf gleicher Höhe zu halten. Das Gestrick kommt im Inneren eines dieser Us zu liegen, bevor es im unteren Teil der Rundstrickmaschine abgezogen und aufgewickelt wird. Die Nadeln wandern beim Stricken senkrecht stehend im Kreis. Wichtig ist beim maschinellen Stricken eine möglichst konstante Fadenzufuhr. Diese wird beim maschinellen Stricken durch so genannte Fadenführer übernommen. Davon sind mehrere entsprechend der Anzahl gleichzeitig zu verarbeitender Fäden zu oberst auf der Rundstrickmaschine angeordnet.Under a circular knitting machine is a knitting machine to understand in which the stitch-forming elements, ie in particular needles and boards, circular are arranged. In machine circular knitting, a thread is inserted into the latch needles, the needle is closed and the thread is pulled through the loop which was already on the needle. Subsequently, the needle is opened again and pushed upwards, ie expelled. The boards, which are arranged between the needles, have substantially the shape of a horizontal Us. Their task is to keep the finished knitted mesh horizontally at the same height. The knit comes to lie inside one of these Us, before it is pulled off and wound up in the lower part of the circular knitting machine. The needles migrate while standing vertically in a circle. It is important in machine knitting as constant as possible thread feed. This is taken over by so-called yarn guides during machine knitting. Of these, several are arranged according to the number of threads to be processed simultaneously on the circular knitting machine.

Weitere wichtige Eigenschaften von Rundstrickmaschinen sind die Anzahl der darauf realisierten Stricksysteme, der Durchmesser der Rundstrickmaschine sowie deren Feinheit, d. h. beispielsweise die Anzahl an Nadeln pro Inch.Other important properties of circular knitting machines are the number of knitting systems realized thereon, the diameter of the circular knitting machine and its fineness, ie. H. For example, the number of needles per inch.

Bei bekannten Füßlingen wird beispielsweise der Beinabschluss, d.h. die Einstiegsöffnung, konfektioniert. Dabei wird zunächst ein Schlauch gestrickt, die Öffnung ausgeschnitten und anschließend ein Bund, einschließlich eines Gummibands, angesäumt.For example, in known feet, the leg cuff, i. the manhole, made-to-order. Here, a tube is first knitted, cut out the opening and then a bunch, including a rubber band, chipped.

Aus der WO 00/19846 ist ein sockenartiges Fußbekleidungsstück bekannt, welches eine Sohle, einen teilweise ausgebildeten oberen Fußbereich, eine Ferse und eine Spitze umfasst, wobei die Ferse und die Spitze so geformt sind, dass sie die entsprechenden Teile des Fußes des Trägers aufnehmen können und eine Einstiegsöffnung für den Fuß des Trägers zwischen der Ferse und der Spitze im Bereich des teilweise ausgebildeten oberen Fußteils vorgesehen ist.From the WO 00/19846 For example, there is known a sock-like article of footwear comprising a sole, a partially formed upper foot region, a heel and a toe, the heel and the tip being shaped to receive the corresponding parts of the wearer's foot and a foot access opening of the carrier between the heel and the tip in the region of the partially formed upper foot part is provided.

Aus der EP 0 632 972 A1 ist eine den Fuß bedeckende Innensohle bzw. ein Schutzstrumpf bekannt, die/der auf einer Rundstrumpfstrickmaschine angefertigt wird und aus zwei beutelartigen sich gegenüberliegenden Teilen besteht, die in einem Mittelbereich zu einem Stück zusammengefügt sind, und aus einem Gummisaum, der durch direktes Zusammenstricken mit den zwei Teilen zu einem Stück auf der im Pendelgang arbeitenden Rundstrickmaschine hergestellt wird.From the EP 0 632 972 A1 is a foot-covering insole or a protective sock which is made on a circular stocking knitting machine and consists of two bag-like opposing parts, which are joined together in a central region in one piece, and a rubber space, the by directly knitting together with the two parts in one piece on the pendulum-type circular knitting machine is made.

Aus der deutschen Patentschrift DE 400392 ist ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Füßlingen für Halbschuhe auf einer Rundstrickmaschine mit schwingendem und kreisendem Zylinder bekannt, wobei beim Beginn der Herstellung des rund zu arbeitenden Fußteils eine Sicherungsreihe gearbeitet wird, die sich entweder nur auf den Spannteil oder den ganzen Umfang des Füßlings erstreckt.From the German patent DE 400392 a method for producing shoes for loafers on a circular knitting machine with oscillating and rotating cylinder is known, wherein at the beginning of the production of the round to be operated foot part a backup row is worked, which extends either only on the clamping part or the entire circumference of the footlet.

Die US 3,059,458 offenbart ein Verfahren zum Herstellen mehrerer Fußüberzieher aus mehreren ineinander übergehenden Schlauchelementen, wobei das Verfahren die folgenden Schritte umfasst: Stricken eines durchgängigen nahtlosen Schlauches, abwechselndes Bilden dreier unterschiedlicher symmetrischer Bereiche während des Strickvorganges, nämlich erstens einen Gummifäden enthaltenden Saum, zweitens ein Hauptstück und drittens überschüssige Maschenreihen zwischen dem Ende des Hauptstückes und dem Beginn des nächsten Saumes, wobei jeder der drei verschiedenen Bereiche über die gesamte Länge und den gesamten Umfang die gleiche Strickstruktur aufweist, Abschneiden der überflüssigen Maschenreihen, und Bilden eines dehnbaren Saums am Ende des Hauptstückes gegenüber des Saumes über den gesamten Umfang des Schlauchs.The US 3,059,458 discloses a method of manufacturing a plurality of foot covers from a plurality of intermeshing tubular members, the method comprising the steps of: knitting a continuous seamless tube, alternately forming three different symmetrical areas during the knitting operation, firstly a hem containing rubber threads, secondly a main piece and thirdly excess Stitching between the end of the main piece and the beginning of the next seam, each of the three different regions having the same knit structure over the entire length and perimeter, cutting off the superfluous courses, and forming a stretchable seam at the end of the main piece opposite the seam the entire circumference of the hose.

Weiterhin ist aus der US 6,415,632 B1 ein Verfahren zum Anfertigen eines Gestricks mittels einer Rundstrickmaschine mit Zylinder und Scheibe, insbesondere zum Anfertigen von Füßlingen bekannt, wobei das Verfahren die Schritte des Herstellens eines Gestricks durch einen besonderen Vorgang umfasst, mit dem sich eine hochelastische Verformbarkeit des Gestricks erreichen lässt. Aufgrund dieser hochelastischen Verformbarkeit eignet sich das Gestrick in besonderer Weise für die Herstellung von Füßlingen, indem aus dem erfindungsgemäßen Gestrick einfach ein Teil ausgeschnitten wird und der Umfang mit einem vorgespannten Gummiband eingefasst wird. Der entstehende Füßling weist eine elastische Verformbarkeit auf, die eine optimale Passform gewährleistet, wobei fußseitig ein nichtdehnbarer Faden angebracht sein kann.Furthermore, from the US Pat. No. 6,415,632 B1 a method for making a knit by means of a circular knitting machine with cylinder and disc, in particular for making feet known, the method comprising the steps of producing a knit by a special process, with which a highly elastic deformability of the knitted fabric can be achieved. Because of this highly elastic deformability, the fabric is particularly suitable for the production of footlets by simply cutting out a part of the inventive fabric and the circumference is bordered with a prestressed rubber band. The resulting footlet has an elastic deformability, which ensures an optimal fit, which foot can be attached to a nichtdehnbarer thread.

Nachteilig an den bekannten Füßlingen ist der Umstand anzusehen, dass diese häufig die Tendenz aufweisen, mit zunehmender Tragedauer in den Schuh hineinzurutschen. Dies resultiert in einem unangenehmen Tragegefühl und führt aufgrund von Reibung, insbesondere am Übergang Füßling - Fuß, zu Wundscheuern.A disadvantage of the known feet is the fact that they often have the tendency to slip into the shoe with increasing wearing time. This results in an uncomfortable wearing sensation and leads to chafing due to friction, especially at the foot - foot transition.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht deshalb darin, ein gattungsgemäßes Verfahren derart weiterzubilden, dass damit ein Füßling hergestellt werden kann, der eine deutlich geringere Tendenz aufweist, beim Tragen in den Schuh hineinzurutschen. Die Aufgabe besteht weiterhin darin, eine entsprechend programmierbare Rundstrickmaschine sowie ein entsprechendes Computerprogrammprodukt bereitzustellen.The object of the present invention is therefore to develop a generic method such that it can be used to produce a footlet which has a significantly lower tendency to slip into the shoe when worn. The object continues to be to provide a corresponding programmable circular knitting machine and a corresponding computer program product.

Diese Aufgaben werden gelöst durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen von Patentanspruch 1, eine programmierbare Rundstrickmaschine mit den Merkmalen von Patentanspruch 15 sowie durch ein Computerprogrammprodukt mit den Merkmalen von Patentanspruch 16.These objects are achieved by a method having the features of claim 1, a programmable circular knitting machine having the features of claim 15 and by a computer program product having the features of claim 16.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass diese Aufgaben gelöst werden können, wenn die Einstiegsöffnung so gestrickt wird, dass sie schlitzförmig ausgebildet ist, wobei der Strickvorgang derart zu gestalten ist, dass die Möglichkeit bereitgestellt wird, den den Schlitz, d.h. die eigentliche Einstiegsöffnung für den Fuß, umgebenden Bereich, mit einem anderen Faden zu stricken als das umgebende Gestrick. Durch diese Maßnahme lassen sich dann für das den Schlitz umgebende Material Fäden verwenden, die sich insbesondere durch eine höhere Elastizität auszeichnen als die für das restliche Gestrick verwendeten Fäden.The present invention is based on the finding that these objects can be achieved if the manhole is knitted so that it is slit-shaped, wherein the knitting process is to be designed such that the possibility is provided that the slot, i. the actual manhole for the foot, surrounding area, using a different thread to knit than the surrounding knit. By this measure can then be used for the material surrounding the slot threads, which are characterized in particular by a higher elasticity than the threads used for the rest of the fabric.

Durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren lässt sich ein Füßling herstellen, der sich durch eine schmalst mögliche Einstiegsöffnung auszeichnet, die bevorzugt von einem Faden mit hoher Elastizität abgeschlossen ist. Dadurch wird ein Füßling geschaffen, welcher außerhalb des Schuhs nicht sichtbar ist und einem Hineinrutschen in den Schuh zuverlässig entgegenwirkt. Dies resultiert in einem überragenden Tragekomfort, einem ausgezeichneten Schutz gegen Wundscheuern und einem dauerhaft angenehmen Tragegefühl.By means of the method according to the invention, it is possible to produce a footlet which is characterized by a narrowest possible entry opening, which is preferably closed by a thread with high elasticity. As a result, a footlet is created, which is not visible outside the shoe and reliably counteracts slipping into the shoe. This results in an outstanding wearing comfort, an excellent protection against chafing and a lasting pleasant wearing feeling.

Demgemäß umfasst beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren der Schritt des Strickens der Einstiegsöffnung des Füßlings, wobei in Querrichtung der Einstiegsöffnung mindestens ein erster, ein zweiter und ein dritter Bereich ausgebildet werden, wobei in Längsrichtung der Einstiegsöffnung ein erster, ein zweiter und ein dritter Abschnitt ausgebildet werden, die folgenden Unterschritte: Zunächst wird der zweite und der dritte Bereich des ersten Abschnitts gestrickt, innerhalb dessen das den zweiten Bereich strickende Stricksystem mit dem dem dritten Bereich strickenden Stricksystem zusammengreift, wobei das den ersten Bereich strickende Stricksystem mit dem den zweiten und den dritten Bereich strickenden Stricksystem zusammengreift. Anschließend wird der zweite und der dritte Bereich des zweiten Abschnitts gestrickt, innerhalb dessen das den zweiten Bereich strickende Stricksystem mit dem den dritten Bereich strickenden Stricksystem nicht zusammengreift, wobei das den ersten Bereich strickende Stricksystem mit dem den zweiten und den dritten Bereich strickenden Stricksystem zusammengreift. Schließlich wird der zweite und der dritte Bereich des dritten Abschnitts gestrickt, innerhalb dessen das den zweiten Bereich strickende Stricksystem mit dem den dritten Bereich strickenden Stricksystem zusammengreift, wobei das den ersten Bereich strickende Stricksystem mit dem den zweiten und den dritten Bereich strickenden Stricksystem zusammengreift.Accordingly, in the method according to the invention the step of knitting the manhole of the footlet, wherein at least a first, a second and a third area are formed in the transverse direction of the manhole, wherein in the longitudinal direction of the manhole a first, a second and a third section are formed the following sub-steps: First, the second and the third region of the first section is knitted, within which the knitting system knitting the second region with the knitting system knitting the third region, wherein the knitting system knitting the first region with the knitting system knitting the second and the third region engages. Subsequently, the second and third regions of the second portion are knitted, within which the knitting system knitting the second region does not engage with the knitting system knitting the third region, the knitting system knitting the first region engaging with the knitting system knitting the second and third regions. Finally, the second and third portions of the third portion are knitted, within which the knitting system knitting the second portion engages the knitting system knitting the third portion, the knitting system knitting the first portion engaging the knitting system knitting the second and third portions.

Mit anderen Worten greifen zunächst das den zweiten und den dritten Bereich strickende Stricksystem zusammen, wodurch der der Ferse zugewandte Bereich vor der Einstiegsöffnung gestrickt wird. Zum Stricken der schlitzförmigen Einstiegsöffnung greifen diese beiden Stricksysteme dann nicht zusammen, und schließlich, zum Stricken des spitzenseitigen Bereichs oberhalb der Einstiegsöffnung, greifen dann die genannten beiden Stricksysteme wieder zusammen. Das beim Stricken der Einstiegsöffnung beteiligte dritte Stricksystem strickt den ersten Bereich, der außerhalb des zweiten und den dritten Bereich liegt, d. h. in Draufsicht mit Spitze nach oben betrachtet die linke Seite des Füßlings, die Sohle und die rechte Seite des Füßlings.In other words, first the knitting system knitting the second and the third area cooperate, whereby the heel-facing area is knitted in front of the access opening. For knitting the slit-shaped manhole then these two knitting systems do not grip together, and finally, for knitting the tip-side area above the manhole, then the two knitting systems back together. The third knitting system involved in knitting the manhole intersects the first area that is outside the second and third areas, i.e., the first area. H. in top-plan view, the left side of the footlet, the sole and the right side of the footlet.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform, bei der die Rundstrickmaschine lediglich ein erstes und ein zweites Stricksystem umfasst, ist im ersten, zweiten und dritten Abschnitt das den ersten Bereich strickende Stricksystem das zweite Stricksystem, das den zweiten Bereich strickende Stricksystem das zweite Stricksystem und das den dritten Bereich strickende Stricksystem ebenfalls das zweite Stricksystem, wobei der erste Bereich mit einem ersten Fadentyp gestrickt wird, wobei der zweite Bereich mit einem zweiten Fadentyp gestrickt wird und wobei der dritte Bereich mit einem dritten Fadentyp gestrickt wird. Diese Ausführungsform geht zwar mit einer Vielzahl von Fadenführerwechseln einher, ermöglicht jedoch die Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens bereits auf einer Rundstrickmaschine mit nur zwei Stricksystemen.In a preferred embodiment in which the circular knitting machine comprises only a first and a second knitting system, in the first, second and third sections, the knitting system knitting the first section is the second knitting system, the knitting system knitting the second section is the second knitting system and the third section knitting knitting system also the second knitting system, the first portion is knit with a first thread type, wherein the second portion is knitted with a second thread type and wherein the third portion is knitted with a third thread type. Although this embodiment is accompanied by a multiplicity of thread guide changes, it nevertheless makes it possible to carry out the method according to the invention already on a circular knitting machine with only two knitting systems.

Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform umfasst die Rundstrickmaschine ein erstes, ein zweites und ein drittes Stricksystem, wobei dem dritten Stricksystem ein dritter Quadrant zugeordnet ist, wobei im ersten, im zweiten und im dritten Abschnitt das den ersten Bereich strickende Stricksystem das zweite Stricksystem ist, das den zweiten Bereich strickende Stricksystem das zweite Stricksystem ist und das den dritten Bereich strickende Stricksystem das dritte Stricksystem ist, wobei der erste Bereich mit einem ersten Fadentyp gestrickt wird, wobei der zweite Bereich mit einem zweiten Fadentyp gestrickt wird und wobei der dritte Bereich mit einem dritten Fadentyp gestrickt wird. Diese Variante zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass sie bereits auf einer Rundstrickmaschine mit nur drei Stricksystemen die Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ermöglicht und gegenüber der zuvor genannten bevorzugten Ausführungsform mit deutlich weniger Fadenführerwechseln auskommt. Insbesondere muss die Rundstrickmaschine auch nur weniger Fadenführer umfassen.In a further preferred embodiment, the circular knitting machine comprises a first, a second and a third knitting system, wherein the third knitting system is associated with a third quadrant, wherein in the first, in the second and in the third section, the knitting system knitting the first region is the second knitting system the second region knitting system is the second knitting system and the third region knitting system is the third knitting system, the first region being knit with a first type of yarn, the second region being knit with a second type of yarn and the third region being knitted with a third Thread type is knitted. This variant is characterized by the fact that, even on a circular knitting machine with only three knitting systems, it makes it possible to carry out the method according to the invention and, with respect to the aforementioned preferred embodiment, manages with significantly fewer thread guide changes. In particular, the circular knitting machine only has to comprise fewer yarn guides.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform umfasst die Rundstrickmaschine ein erstes, ein zweites, ein drittes und ein viertes Stricksystem, wobei dem dritten Stricksystem ein dritter und dem vierten Stricksystem ein vierter Quadrant zugeordnet ist, wobei im ersten, im zweiten und im dritten Abschnitt das den ersten Bereich strickende Stricksystem das zweite Stricksystem ist, das den zweiten Bereich strickende Stricksystem das vierte Stricksystem ist und das den dritten Bereich strickende Stricksystem das dritte Stricksystem ist, wobei der erste Bereich mit einem ersten Fadentyp gestrickt wird, wobei der zweite Bereich mit einem zweiten Fadentyp gestrickt wird und wobei der dritte Bereich mit einem dritten Fadentyp gestrickt wird. Diese Ausführungsform kommt mit einem Minimum von Fadenführerwechseln und damit auch mit einem Minimum an bereitzustellenden Fadenführern aus. Sie benötigt jedoch eine Rundstrickmaschine mit mindestens vier Stricksystemen.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the circular knitting machine comprises a first, a second, a third and a fourth knitting system, wherein the third knitting system, a third and the fourth knitting system is assigned a fourth quadrant, wherein in the first, in the second and in the third section, the first The knitting knitting system is the second knitting system, the knitting system knitting the second region is the fourth knitting system, and the third knit knitting system is the third knitting system, knitting the first portion with a first thread type, the second portion knitting with a second thread type and wherein the third region is knitted with a third type of thread. This embodiment comes with a minimum of yarn guide changes and thus with a minimum of yarn guides to be provided. However, it requires a circular knitting machine with at least four knitting systems.

Bevorzugt ist, wenn im ersten, zweiten und dritten Abschnitt der zweite und der dritte Fadentyp eine größere Elastizität aufweisen, als der erste Fadentyp. Durch eine große Elastizität wird ein besonders sicherer Halt des Füßlings am Fuß erzielt und damit das Hineinrutschen in den Schuh besonders zuverlässig verhindert.It is preferred if, in the first, second and third sections, the second and third thread types have a greater elasticity than the first thread type. By a great elasticity a particularly secure hold of the footlet is achieved on the foot and thus particularly reliably prevents slipping into the shoe.

Bevorzugt ist weiterhin, wenn im ersten, zweiten und dritten Abschnitt der erste, zweite und dritte Bereich im Pendelgang gestrickt werden.It is furthermore preferred if in the first, second and third sections the first, second and third regions are knitted in pendulum motion.

Bevorzugt entspricht innerhalb des zweiten Abschnitts in jeder Reihe die Maschenzahl im zweiten Bereich der Maschenzahl im dritten Bereich. Dadurch ergibt sich eine Schlitzöffnung, in der der elastische Abschluss symmetrisch ausgebildet ist.Preferably, within the second section in each row, the number of stitches in the second area corresponds to the number of stitches in the third area. This results in a slot opening in which the elastic end is symmetrical.

Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass zu Beginn des ersten Unterschritts zum Stricken der Einstiegsöffnung in jeder Reihe die Summe der Maschenzahlen im zweiten und im dritten Bereich eine erste Anzahl m1 umfasst und zum Ende des ersten Unterschritts eine zweite Anzahl m2, wobei die zweite Anzahl m2 kleiner gleich der ersten Anzahl m1 ist. Ist die zweite Anzahl m2 tatsächlich kleiner der ersten Anzahl m1, so ist dadurch die Strecke, über die der zweite und dritte Bereich mit dem umgebenden Bereich kontaktiert ist, d. h. mit diesem verbunden ist, besonders lang ausgebildet ist, wodurch ein besonders sicherer Schutz gegen Herausreißen bereitgestellt werden kann. Der damit hergestellte Füßling zeichnet sich durch eine deutlich erhöhte Haltbarkeit, eine noch bessere Elastizität und damit einem noch besseren Tragekomfort aus.A preferred development is characterized in that at the beginning of the first sub-step for knitting the access opening in each row, the sum of the mesh numbers in the second and in the third area comprises a first number m1 and at the end of the first sub-step a second number m2, the second Number m2 is less than or equal to the first number m1. If the second number m2 is actually smaller than the first number m1, this means that the distance over which the second and third areas are contacted with the surrounding area, ie. H. connected to this, is designed to be particularly long, whereby a particularly secure protection against tearing can be provided. The footlet produced with it is characterized by a significantly increased durability, an even better elasticity and thus an even better wearing comfort.

Besonders bevorzugt beträgt dann innerhalb des zweiten Abschnitts in jeder Reihe die Maschenzahl im zweiten Bereich und die Maschenzahl im dritten Bereich m2/2.Most preferably, then, within the second section in each row, the mesh size in the second area and the mesh size in the third area is m2 / 2.

Entsprechende Maßnahmen können auch am oberen Ende der Einstiegsöffnung vorgesehen sein. So kann zu Beginn des dritten Unterschritts der Herstellung des Bereichs der Einstiegsöffnung in jeder Reihe die Summe der Maschenzahl im zweiten und im dritten Bereich eine dritte Anzahl m3 umfassen und zum Ende des dritten Unterschritts eine vierte Anzahl m4, wobei die vierte Anzahl m4 größer gleich der dritten Anzahl m3 ist. Dadurch wird eine entsprechend erhöhte Sicherheit gegen Ausreißen auch am spitzenseitigen Ende des Einstiegsöffnung bereitgestellt. Jedoch ist dort die Gefahr des Ausreißens generell reduziert, da der Rist des Fußes im Gegensatz zum Fersenbereich im Wesentlichen flach verläuft.Appropriate measures can also be provided at the upper end of the manhole. Thus, at the beginning of the third sub-step of manufacturing the area of the manhole in each row, the sum of the stitches in the second and third regions may comprise a third number m3 and at the end of the third sub-stage a fourth number m4, the fourth number m4 being greater than or equal to third number is m3. As a result, a correspondingly increased security against tearing is also provided at the tip-side end of the manhole. However, that is There, the risk of tearing is generally reduced since the instep of the foot, in contrast to the heel area, is essentially flat.

Bevorzugt wird vor dem Stricken des Bereichs der Einstiegsöffnung eine Ferse des Füßlings gestrickt. Dabei wird zunächst ein erster Abschnitt mit mindestens dem ersten Stricksystem im Rundlauf angestrickt und anschließend ein zweiter Abschnitt mit dem ersten Stricksystem durch Auf- und Abmindern zur Ausbildung der eigentlichen Ferse gestrickt.Preferably, prior to knitting the area of the manhole, a heel of the boot is knitted. In this case, first a first section is knitted with at least the first knitting system in the concentricity and then knitted a second section with the first knitting system by raising and lowering to form the actual heel.

Weiterhin wird bevorzugt nach dem Stricken des Bereichs der Einstiegsöffnung eine Spitze des Füßlings gestrickt. Dabei wird zunächst ein erster Abschnitt mit mindestens dem ersten Stricksystem im Rundlauf gestrickt, anschließend ein zweiter Abschnitt mit dem ersten Stricksystem durch auf Auf- und Abmindern und schließlich ein dritter Abschnitt mit mindestens dem ersten Stricksystem im Rundlauf.Furthermore, preferably after knitting the area of the manhole, a tip of the footlet is knitted. In this case, first a first section is knit with at least the first knitting system in the concentricity, then a second section with the first knitting system by up and down and finally a third section with at least the first knitting system in the concentricity.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass zwischen dem Stricken des ersten Abschnitts und des zweiten Abschnitts der Spitze des Füßlings ein vierter Abschnitt mit einem Faden gestrickt wird, der sich von dem für den ersten und den zweiten Abschnitt der Spitze verwendeten Faden unterscheidet, insbesondere hinsichtlich seiner Farbe. Dadurch kann auf besonders einfache Weise die Spitze des Füßlings dauerhaft gekennzeichnet werden, um Verwechslungen mit der Ferse auszuschließen und damit ein seitenrichtiges Anziehen des Füßlings zu gewährleisten. Die Gefahr eines Herausreißens des zweiten und dritten Bereichs im Bereich der Einstiegsöffnung oder des Einreißens des Bereichs, in dem das den zweiten und das den dritten Bereich strickende Stricksystem zusammengreifen, ist deutlich reduziert.It can be provided that between the knitting of the first portion and the second portion of the tip of the footlet, a fourth portion is knitted with a thread which differs from the thread used for the first and the second portion of the lace, in particular with regard to its color , As a result, the tip of the footlet can be permanently marked in a particularly simple manner in order to avoid confusion with the heel and thus to ensure a correct tightening of the footlet. The risk of tearing out the second and third areas in the area of the access opening or the tearing of the area in which the knitting system knitting the second and the third area is significantly reduced.

Weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsformen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further preferred embodiments emerge from the subclaims.

Fig. 1 zeigt in schematischer Darstellung den Bereich 10 der Einstiegsöffnung 12 eines gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens hergestellten Füßlings gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform. In der Darstellung ist der Bereich 10 der Einstiegsöffnung 12 in Längsrichtung in drei Abschnitte A1, A2 und A3 unterteilt, in Querrichtung in vier Bereiche B1a, B2, B3, B1b. Ein nicht zu sehender Bereich B1c stellt den Sohlenbereich dar, der zwischen den Bereichen B1a und B1b liegt. Der Abschnitt A1 ist der Ferse zugewandt, während der Abschnitt A3 der Spitze zugewandt ist. Gemäß der Ausführungsform von Fig. 1 werden die Bereiche B1a, B1b und B1c vom zweiten Stricksystem S2 einer Rundstrickmaschine mit vier Stricksystemen S2, S2, S3 und S4 gestrickt. Der Bereich B2 wird gestrickt vom vierten Stricksystem S4 und der Bereich B3 von dritten Stricksystem S3. Während in den Abschnitten A1 und A3 das vierte S4 und dritte Stricksystem S3 zusammengreifen tun sie dies im Abschnitt A2 nicht, so dass die Einstiegsöffnung 12 entsteht. Am Unterende des Abschnitts A1 ist die Maschenzahl der von dem vierten S4 und dem dritten Stricksystem S3 gestrickten Bereiche B2 und B3 größer als am Oberende des Abschnitts A1. Im Abschnitt A3 ist die Maschenzahl des vom vierten Stricksystem S4 gestrickten Bereichs B2 und des vom dritten Stricksystem S3 gestrickten Bereichs B3 über den ganzen Abschnitt A3 pro Reihe konstant. Im Abschnitt A2 entspricht die vom vierten Stricksystem S4 gestrickte Maschenzahl pro Reihe der vom dritten Stricksystem S3 gestrickten Maschenzahl pro Reihe. Das zweite Stricksystem S2 pendelt ganz durch, d. h. auch über die Sohle, und das von ihm gestrickte Gestrick wird auf der einen Seite mit dem vom vierten Stricksystem S4 gestrickten Gestrick und auf der anderen Seite mit dem vom dritten Stricksystem S3 gestrickten Gestrick verknüpft. Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of the region 10 of the manhole 12 of a footlet produced according to a first embodiment of a method according to the invention according to a first embodiment. In the illustration, the area 10 of the manhole 12 is divided longitudinally into three sections A1, A2 and A3, and transversely into four areas B1a, B2, B3, B1b. An unseen area B1c represents the sole area which lies between the areas B1a and B1b. The section A1 faces the heel, while the section A3 faces the tip. According to the embodiment of Fig. 1 For example, the areas B1a, B1b and B1c are knitted by the second knitting system S2 of a circular knitting machine having four knitting systems S2, S2, S3 and S4. The area B2 is knitted by the fourth knitting system S4 and the area B3 by the third knitting system S3. While in sections A1 and A3, the fourth S4 and third knitting system S3 do together Do not do this in section A2, so that the manhole 12 is formed. At the lower end of the section A1, the mesh number of the areas B2 and B3 knitted by the fourth S4 and the third knitting system S3 is larger than at the upper end of the section A1. In the section A3, the mesh number of the area B2 knitted by the fourth knitting system S4 and the area B3 knitted by the third knitting system S3 are constant over the entire section A3 per one row. In section A2, the number of stitches per row knitted by the fourth knitting system S4 corresponds to the number of stitches per row knitted by the third knitting system S3. The second knitting system S2 swings completely through, ie also over the sole, and the knitted fabric knitted by it is linked on one side with the knitted fabric knitted by the fourth knitting system S4 and on the other side with the knit knitted by the third knitting system S3.

Gemäß dem in Fig. 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel wird zum Stricken des Bereichs 10 der Einstiegsöffnung 12 nur ein zweites S2 und ein drittes Stricksystem S3 einer Rundstrickmaschine mit drei Stricksystemen S1, S2 und S3 verwendet. Die Darstellung von Fig. 2 unterscheidet sich von der Darstellung von Fig. 1 dadurch, dass der vom vierten Stricksystem S4 gestrickte Bereich, siehe Fig. 1, gemäß Fig. 2 nunmehr auch vom zweiten Stricksystem S2 gestrickt wird. Dazu ist jeweils vor dem Stricken des Bereichs B2 ein Fadenführerwechsel durchzuführen. Selbstverständlich muss die verwendete Rundstrickmaschine eine entsprechende Anzahl von Fadenführern bereitstellen.According to the in Fig. 2 1, only a second S2 and a third knitting system S3 of a circular knitting machine with three knitting systems S1, S2 and S3 are used for knitting the region 10 of the access opening 12. The representation of Fig. 2 is different from the representation of Fig. 1 in that the area knitted by the fourth knitting system S4, see Fig. 1 , according to Fig. 2 now also knitted by the second knitting system S2. For this purpose, a yarn guide change is to be carried out in each case before the knitting of the area B2. Of course, the circular knitting machine used must provide a corresponding number of thread guides.

Gemäß dem in Fig. 3 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel wird im Unterschied zu dem Ausführungsbeispiel von Fig. 2 nunmehr auch der Bereich B3 vom zweiten Stricksystem S2 gestrickt. Dazu ist jeweils ein weiterer Fadenführerwechsel vorzunehmen. Die Rundstrickmaschine muss einen weiteren Fadenführer umfassen.According to the in Fig. 3 illustrated embodiment is in contrast to the embodiment of Fig. 2 now also the area B3 of the second knitting system S2 knitted. For this purpose, a further yarn guide change is to be made. The circular knitting machine must include another thread guide.

Fig. 4 zeigt in schematischer Darstellung einen Signalflussgrafen für ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens. Sie korrespondiert mit der Ausführungsform von Fig. 1, bei der die Rundstrickmaschine vier Stricksysteme S1, S2, S3 und S4 aufweist. Fig. 4 shows a schematic representation of a signal flow graph for an embodiment of a method according to the invention. It corresponds to the embodiment of Fig. 1 in which the circular knitting machine has four knitting systems S1, S2, S3 and S4.

Das Verfahren beginnt im Schritt 100. Im Schritt 110 wird zunächst der Bereich vor der Ferse im Rundlauf mit dem ersten Stricksystem S1 über einen Bereich von ca. 2 cm angestrickt.The method begins in step 100. In step 110, the area in front of the heel is first knit in a circular run with the first knitting system S1 over a range of about 2 cm.

Im Schritt 120 wird in den Pendelgang umgeschaltet, um durch Auf- und Abmindern die eigentliche Ferse im ersten Stricksystem S1, d.h. dem Grundsystem, zu stricken, wobei bevorzugt gleichzeitig der Faden mit dickerem Polyamid verstärkt wird.In step 120, the pendulum gear is switched to increase and decrease the actual heel in the first knitting system S1, i. the basic system to knit, preferably at the same time the thread is reinforced with thicker polyamide.

Im Schritt 130 wird nach dem Auspendeln der Ferse in den dreisystemigen Pendellauf umgeschaltet, d. h. einen Pendellauf, bei dem die drei Stricksysteme S2, S3 und S4 beteiligt sind.In step 130, after swinging out the heel, it is switched to the three-system pendulum run, i. H. a pendulum run in which the three knitting systems S2, S3 and S4 are involved.

Anschließend wird im Schritt 140 zunächst der Abschnitt A1 unter Verwendung der Stricksysteme S2, S4 und S3 gestrickt, wobei das vierte S4 und das dritte Stricksystem S3 zusammenwirken.Subsequently, at step 140, first, the portion A1 is knitted using the knitting systems S2, S4 and S3, with the fourth S4 and the third knitting system S3 cooperating.

Im Schritt 150 wird der Abschnitt A2 gestrickt, bei dem das vierte S4 und das dritte Stricksystem S3 nicht zusammenwirken.In step 150, the portion A2 is knitted in which the fourth S4 and the third knitting system S3 do not cooperate.

Im Schritt 160 wird der Abschnitt A3 gestrickt, bei dem nunmehr das vierte S4 und das dritte Stricksystem S3 wieder zusammenwirken.In step 160, the section A3 is knitted, in which now the fourth S4 and the third knitting system S3 again cooperate.

Im Schritt 170 wird der erste Abschnitt der Spitze unter Verwendung des ersten Stricksystems S1 im Rundlauf gestrickt.In step 170, the first portion of the lace is knit in a circle using the first knitting system S1.

Im Schritt 180 wird ein andersfarbiger Ringel 16 mit dem ersten Stricksystem S1 im Rundlauf eingestrickt, der insbesondere der Kennzeichnung der Spitze dient.In step 180, a different colored strip 16 is knitted in a concentric manner with the first knitting system S1, which in particular serves to mark the point.

Im Schritt 190 wird der zweite Abschnitt der Spitze unter Auf- und Abmindern und unter Verwendung des ersten Stricksystems S1 im Pendelgang gestrickt.In step 190, the second portion of the toe is knitted up and down using the first knitting system S1 in the shuttle.

Im Schritt 200 wird der dritte Abschnitt der Spitze gestrickt und zwar durch Abstricken unter Verwendung des ersten Stricksystems S1 im Rundlauf.In step 200, the third portion of the toe is knitted by knitting using the first knitting system S1 in the concentricity.

Anschließend wird im Schritt 210 die Ferse und die Spitze handgekettelt, um die Ferse und Spitze maschengerecht zu schließen.Then, in step 210, the heel and toe are handknitted to close the heel and toe as needed.

Im Schritt 220 wird der Füßling mit einer Sanitized-Ausrüstung beim Tumbeln und Trocknen versehen.In step 220, the boot is provided with sanitized equipment for tumbling and drying.

Im Schritt 230 wird der Füßling exakt auf eine vorgebbare Größe ausgeformt und im Schritt 240 ein Fußstempel, der beispielsweise den Hersteller wiedergibt, angebracht.In step 230, the footlet is formed exactly to a predeterminable size and in step 240 a footstamp, which reproduces the manufacturer, for example, attached.

Das Verfahren endet im Schritt 250.The method ends in step 250.

Bei einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung des Verfahrens wird zwischen Schritt 170 und Schritt 180 ein Logo eingestrickt.In a preferred development of the method, a logo is knitted between step 170 and step 180.

Fig. 5 zeigt zur Verdeutlichung einen mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren hergestellten Füßling, wie er sich nach Schritt 250 darstellt, wobei der Füßling gemäß dem Verfahren von Fig. 4, d. h. unter Verwendung einer viersystemigen Rundstrickmaschine, gestrickt wurde. Deutlich zu erkennen ist im ersten A1 und dritten Abschnitt A3 des Bereichs 10 der Einstiegsöffnung 12 eine aufgeworfene Masche 14, die sich aufgrund des Zusammenwirkens des dritten S3 mit dem vierten Stricksystem S4 ergibt. Weiterhin ist im Spitzenbereich 20 angeordnete der Ringel 16 zu sehen. Der Fersenbereich trägt das Bezugszeichen 18. Fig. 5 shows, for clarity, a bootlet manufactured by a method according to the invention as it appears after step 250, the boot according to the method of Fig. 4 ie knitted using a four-system circular knitting machine. It can clearly be seen in the first A1 and third section A3 of the area 10 of the manhole 12, a thrown stitch 14, which results due to the interaction of the third S3 with the fourth knitting system S4. Furthermore, arranged in the tip region 20 of the ring 16 can be seen. The heel area bears the reference numeral 18.

Eine Rundstrickmaschine, die bei entsprechender Programmierung zur Ausführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens geeignet ist, ist die Magica der Firma Colosio. Besonders bevorzugt ist dabei eine Magica mit einem Durchmesser von 3 ¾ Zoll, die 120 Nadeln aufweist. Eine größere Feinheit ergäbe sich auf einer Version mit 156 Nadeln, eine reduzierte Feinheit auf einer Version mit 96 oder 84 Nadeln. Die erwähnte Magica der Firma Colosio weist neben vier Stricksystemen eine elektronische Kontrolle durch einen On-Board-Mikroprozessor auf, sowie 18 elektropneumatische Fadenführer und einen Gummi-Fadenführer, der über einen Fournisseur elektronisch gesteuert wird. Sie umfasst acht Gruppen von Sensoren für eine Nadel/Nadel-Auswahl und ermöglicht das Stricken der Ferse und der Spitze ohne Minderungsfinger.A circular knitting machine, which is suitable with appropriate programming for carrying out the method according to the invention, is the Magica of Colosio. Particularly preferred is a 3 ¾ inch diameter magica having 120 needles. A greater fineness would result on a version with 156 needles, a reduced fineness on a version with 96 or 84 needles. The aforementioned Magica Colosio has in addition to four knitting systems an electronic control by an on-board microprocessor, as well as 18 electro-pneumatic yarn guides and a rubber yarn guide, which is electronically controlled via a feeder. It includes eight sets of needle / needle selection sensors, and allows knitting of the heel and toe without mitigation fingers.

Sie weist überdies ein Diskettenlaufwerk bzw. eine Schnittstelle, insbesondere eine USB-Schnittstelle auf, über das ein Strickprogramm in einen Speicher der Rundstrickmaschine kopiert werden kann, aus dem es dann zur Ausführung gelangt.It also has a floppy disk drive or an interface, in particular a USB interface, via which a knitting program can be copied into a memory of the circular knitting machine, from which it then comes to execution.

Für das Stricken des zweiten B2 und des dritten Bereichs B3 wird bevorzugt folgendes Garn verwendet: 200dtex EL plus 78/1 PA (umwunden). Für den ersten Bereich sowie für die Spitze und die Ferse wird bevorzugt folgendes Garn verwendet: 2 x Nm 50/1 CO plus 20/70 PA / EL (85dtex Elastan). Dabei steht die Abkürzung EL für Elastan, Nm für Nummer metrisch (Garnstärke), PA für Polyamid, CO für Baumwolle, dtex für Dezitex (Garnstärke), wobei 1 tex = 1/1000 * 1/Nm.For the knitting of the second B2 and the third area B3, the following yarn is preferably used: 200 dtex EL plus 78/1 PA (wound). For the first area as well as for the top and the heel the following yarn is preferably used: 2 x Nm 50/1 CO plus 20/70 PA / EL (85dtex elastane). The abbreviation EL stands for elastane, Nm for number metric (yarn thickness), PA for polyamide, CO for cotton, dtex for decitex (yarn thickness), where 1 tex = 1/1000 * 1 / Nm.

Generell wird für den zweiten B2 und den dritten Bereich B3 bevorzugt ein Elastan-Faden verwendet, der mit Polyamid umwunden ist. Dadurch ergibt sich eine höhere Elastizität sowie eine vergrößerte Spannkraft gegenüber einem Baumwollfaden. Für das restliche Gestrick wird bevorzugt ein mit Polyamid plattierter Baumwollfaden verwendet. Dabei wird die Außenseite mit Baumwolle und die Innenseite mit Polyamid gestrickt.In general, for the second B2 and the third area B3, preferably an elastane thread is used, which is wound with polyamide. This results in a higher elasticity and an increased clamping force compared to a cotton thread. For the rest of the fabric, a polyamide-clad cotton thread is preferably used. The outside is knitted with cotton and the inside with polyamide.

Die Breite zu Beginn des Bereichs B2 und des Bereichs B3 im Abschnitt A1 beträgt bevorzugt 11 Maschen. Diese werden bis zum Ende des Abschnitts 1 abgemindert auf 5 Maschen.The width at the beginning of the area B2 and the area B3 in the section A1 is preferably 11 meshes. These are reduced to 5 stitches until the end of section 1.
