Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a circular knitting machine and a method for knitting stripe patterns using that circular knitting machine equipped with yarn feed changers capable of knitting stripe patterns.
  • Patent Document 1 in order to knit a stripe pattern using a circular knitting machine, yarns that are selectively fed by a yarn feed changer installed on the circular knitting machine are fed to knitting needles and formed into a fabric.
  • the invention according to Patent Document 1 below is not capable of changing a number of yarns exceeding the number of fingers arranged in a yarn feed changer, whereas the invention according to Patent Document 2 is capable of doing that.
  • Patent Document 2 JP-A-2006-16747
  • Patent Document 2 describes a circular knitting machine in which a engaging member 81 equipped with a clamping organ 81 a that automatically tightens yarn is allocated to a stripe patterning attachment, and an opening organ 85 is fastened on the back of a yarn guide.
  • These components 81 a and 85 are made of spring wire.
  • protrusions such as the aforementioned made of wire can cause an injury to the operator at work.
  • Other objects of the present invention are to feed a knitting yarn to a yarn carrier without fail when changing yarns, thereby preventing malfunction of the knitting machine when knitting a fabric, and to ensure the safety of the operator by eliminating protrusions.
  • the present invention is a mechanism for knitting stripe patterns in a yarn feed changer in a circular knitting machine having yarn feed changers that change at least two knitting yarns, comprising: a first yarn feed changer established in a first feeder and having a plurality of yarn feed fingers that are selectively moved; a second yarn feed changer established in a second feeder and having a plurality of yarn feed fingers that are selectively moved; a yarn cutter and a yarn catcher for retaining and cutting an old knitting yarn that ceases to be fed after a new knitting yarn is fed to a knitting needle from the first and second yarn feed changers and formed into a loop; a yarn carrier that is established opposite the second feeder and feeds a yarn to a knitting needle; and a trapper that moves in the circumferential direction along with the rotation of the knitting machine and catches the yarn that is at the feed position and feeds the same to the knitting needle; characterized in that when any of the yarn feed fingers of the first yarn feed changer moves to the yarn feed position for newly feeding a yarn to the knitting needle, the newly fed yarn
  • the present invention is also a method for knitting stripe patterns in a circular knitting machine having yarn feed changers that change at least two knitting yarns, in which a first feeder having a first yarn feed changer and a second feeder having a second yarn feed changer are used to knit one course, comprising: a step in which welt needle selection is performed by the first feeder; a step in which, when a knitting yarn is newly fed to a knitting needle from the first yarn feed changer, the knitting yarn caught by a trapper stably retains the angle at which it enters the yarn carrier; and a step in which, after new knitting yarns are fed to the knitting needles from the first and second yarn feed changers and formed into loops, old knitting yarns that cease to be fed are retained and cut at approximately the same position.
  • the present invention when the manufacture of fabrics using a number of knitting yarns (color yarns) that exceeds the number of yarn feed fingers arranged in a yarn feed changer is desired using a circular knitting machine equipped with such a yarn feed changer, it is possible to manufacture stripe pattern fabrics by using two or more yarn feed changers and changing the multiple color knitting yarns. Moreover, when changing the yarns, it is possible to feed the knitting yarn to the yarn carrier without fail, thereby preventing malfunction of the knitting machine during the knitting process. According to the present invention it is also possible to ensure the safety of the operator by eliminating protrusions.
  • the present invention can be achieved, while using a circular knitting machine equipped with a conventional yarn feed changer, by simply modifying a part of the yarn feed changer. There is no need to newly install a special device.
  • the yarn feed changer of the present invention the one that is described in JP-A-2005-42260 can be used.
  • This yarn feed changer can be used in either a double knit circular knitting machine or a single knit circular knitting machine.
  • a first feeder and a second feeder are used to knit one course. So for example, if a yarn feed changer equipped with three yarn feed fingers is used (for each feeder), it is possible to knit a multiple color stripe pattern with six color knitting yarns.
  • the first feeder performs welt needle selection. For this reason, this part of yarn carrier is removed.
  • a yarn guide is provided between the first yarn feed changer established in the first feeder and the second yarn feed changer established in the second feeder.
  • the yarn guide is preferably provided with a guide plane and a retaining part
  • the guide plane helps the knitting yarn caught by the trapper that moves in sync with the rotation of the knitting machine to go up.
  • the retaining part stably retains the angle at which this knitting yarn enters the yarn carrier.
  • said trapper has a protrusion at its lower end.
  • the device of the present invention is equipped with sets of yarn cutters and a yarn catcher that retain and cut old yarns that cease to be fed after new knitting yarns are fed to the knitting needles from the first and second yarn feed changers and formed into loops.
  • Switch cams for opening and closing these have protrusions at different positions in the first yarn feed changer and the second yarn feed changer.
  • Two kinds of cutter cams are provided, one for the first yarn feed changer and the other for the second yarn feed changer, each corresponding to the respective protrusion positions of the switch cams.
  • the positions of the first cutter cam for the first yarn feed changer and the second cutter cam for the second yarn feed changer are set so that after new knitting yarns are fed to the knitting needles from the first and second yarn feed changers and formed into loops, old knitting yarns that cease to be fed are retained and cut at the same position.
  • the distance between the first cutter cam and the second cutter cam equals the distance between each feeder, and the lower surfaces of the cutter cams have angles that correspond to the inclinations of the switch cams.
  • knitting yarns are not knit at the first feeder that is in welt needle selection. For this reason, the knitting yarn fed from the first yarn feed changer of the first feeder is fed to the knitting needle that is in knit needle selection or tuck needle selection in the second feeder. Therefore, the position of the first cutter cam is shifted so that the (old) knitting yarn that was being fed from the first yarn feed changer is retained by the yarn catcher for the yarn feed fingers of the yarn feed changer and cut by a moving blade after a new knitting yarn passes the stitch point of the second feeder and overlaps the old knitting yarn at the yarn changing part of the fabric.
