Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for knitting a mesh-jacquard structure, a pile-jacquard structure, and/or an inlay-looking-jacquard structure using a single-knit circular knitting machine including an apparatus for electrically controlling cylinder needles and sinkers, and a single-knit knitted fabric using the same, which is a composite knitted fabric having the mesh-jacquard structure, the pile-jacquard structure, and the mesh-looking-jacquard structure.
  • FIG. 1 shows a method for knitting a mesh-jacquard structure using an ordinary single-knit circular knitting machine.
  • every cylinder needle is selected for knitting, and receives a ground yarn 3 fed thereto, after which the cylinder needle is lowered to a position immediately before a position where it knocks over the old loop.
  • the cylinder needle is selected either for knitting 1k or for welting 1w.
  • the cylinder needle selected for knitting 1k receives a mesh yarn 4 fed thereto, after which the cylinder needle is lowered to a position where it knocks over the old loop, thereby forming a double loop consisting of the ground yarn 3 and the mesh yarn 4.
  • the cylinder needle selected for welting 1w does not receive the mesh yarn 4, and the cylinder needle is lowered to a position where it knocks over the old loop, thereby forming a loop consisting only of the ground yarn 3. Accordingly, a mesh-jacquard knitted fabric in the structural diagram shown in FIG. 3 is obtained.
  • FIG. 2 shows a method for knitting a pile-jacquard structure.
  • every cylinder needle is selected for knitting 5k, and receives a ground yarn 7 fed thereto, and a sinker is selected either for a pile position 6p or for a non-pile position 6n.
  • the cylinder needle corresponding to the sinker selected for the pile position 6p receives a pile yarn 8 that is fed in a state of being caught on the sinker nose, and the cylinder needle is lowered to a position where it knocks over the old loop.
  • a pile loop 8l and a ground loop 7l are formed.
  • the cylinder needle corresponding to the sinker selected for the non-pile position 6n receives the pile yarn that is fed in a state of being caught on the sinker top, and the cylinder needle is lowered to a position where it knocks over the old loop, thereby forming a double loop consisting of the ground yarn 7 and the pile yarn 8.
  • Single-knit knitted fabrics of the mesh-jacquard structure or the pile-jacquard structure knitted using single-knit circular knitting machines are obtained using a ground yarn and a mesh yarn, or a ground yarn and a pile yarn, in individual mesh knitting machines or pile machines.
  • Method for knitting mesh knitted fabric with lining fabric and connected knitted fabric obtained by the method provides a method for knitting a mesh knitted fabric with a lining fabric, and a connected knitted fabric using the same.
  • This document describes a method for knitting a new mesh knitted fabric with a lining fabric, in knitting a single mesh knitted fabric produced by a double knit knitting machine, by also knitting a dial side and connecting a dial knitted fabric to a single mesh knitted fabric using tucking.
  • knitting tool controller in circular knitting machine describes a method for knitting a concave-convex jacquard pile knitted by selecting sinkers either for piling or for non-piling.
  • the present invention provides a knitting method according to claim 1.
  • steps (i) to (iv) obtained by adding a step (iv) below to the three steps described above are selectively performed (Claim 2); (iv) selecting the cylinder needle for welting and selecting the sinker for piling, thereby forming an inlay-looking loop.
  • the method for knitting a single-knit knitted fabric further uses a third feeder, and further includes: at the third feeder, feeding a third yarn and selectively performing two steps (v) and (vi) below in another course (Claim 3),
  • Another aspect of the present invention is directed to a single-knit jacquard knitted fabric having a course in which any one of knitting structures A or B below is formed (Claim 6):
  • a loop having a size that is larger than an ordinary size and a loop having the ordinary size are knitted in the same course so as to be positioned adjacent to the course knitted in claim 6 (Claim 7).
  • the knitting method of the present invention it is possible to obtain a jacquard knitted fabric of knitting structures having functions such as cushioning properties, heat-retention, air permeability, and the like, in desired portions of clothing, the knitted fabric having, on a surface thereof, features of concave-convex pile-jacquard knitting and openwork mesh-jacquard knitting, and having excellent functions and excellent designs.
  • a mesh/pile yarn can be used to knit:
  • an apparel product using these knitted fabrics for example, in the case of a shirt, if knitting is performed so as to partially arrange mesh knitting having good air permeability at portions corresponding to the armpits where heavy sweating may occur and to arrange pile knitting patterns having good cushioning properties at portions corresponding to the shoulders, it is not necessary to separately knit and sew mesh knit portions, or to separately produce shoulder pads. Furthermore, a person wearing this apparel product is free from the discomfort of coarse seams.
  • the knitting methods and knitted fabrics in the following examples are realized by implementing the settings of the present invention, using a circular knitting machine including an apparatus for electrically controlling cylinder needles and sinkers.
  • Example 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the movement line diagram of cylinder needles and sinkers in FIG. 5 and the knitting structural diagram in FIG. 6 .
  • every cylinder needle is selected for knitting, and receives a ground yarn 11 fed thereto, after which the cylinder needle is lowered by a cam to a position immediately before a position where it performs knock-over, and moves to the next second feeder F2.
  • the sinker is pushed toward the center of the circular knitting machine, and the ground yarn is positioned on the sinker top and in the hook of the cylinder needle.
  • the sinker is pulled down from the center of the circular knitting machine toward the outside, and the ground yarn is kept on the sinker top.
  • the cylinder needle is selected either for knitting 9k or for welting 9w according to a desired pattern
  • the sinker is selected either for piling 10p or for non-piling 10n according to the desired pattern.

  • FIG. 10 shows a knit loop 12k and a mesh-looking welt 12w in a state of being caught on a sinker top 21 of the sinker 20 selected for non-piling 10n.
  • a cylinder needle selected for knitting 9k is lifted to a tuck position and catches a mesh/pile yarn 12, after which a sinker selected for piling 10p moves without being pulled down, and the mesh/pile yarn 12 is caught on the sinker nose in accordance with the lowering of the cylinder needle. Meanwhile, since the ground yarn is kept on the sinker top, it is caught on the sinker top in accordance with the lowering of the cylinder needle.
  • the cylinder needle is further lowered by a stitch cam to the knock-over point, and pulls both the mesh/pile yarn 12 and the ground yarn 11.
