Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a set up equipment of a flatbed knitting machine, which includes a plurality of set up plates that are used when a flatbed knitting machine starts knitting of a fabric and in which set up needles pulling down the fabric while capturing and holding a set up part of the fabric are provided on each of the set up plates.
  • a set up equipment is installed under a needle bed gap of a flatbed knitting machine and is used when knitting of a fabric is started.
  • a set up plate that can be elevated is provided in the set up equipment.
  • the set up plate has set up needles projecting upward, captures a set up part of a fabric with the set up needles that have been elevated to the needle bed gap, and pulls down the fabric while holding the set up part and being lowered.
  • Set up equipment capable of selecting a plurality of set up plates in order to start knitting while separately knitting parts of a fabric, which have different knitting widths, has been known (for example, see Patent Literature 1).
  • the set up equipment has elevating guides to guide the respective set up plates to the vicinity of a needle bed gap from positions under the needle bed gap and includes an elevator selecting and elevating any one of the set up plates by an oscillating rod.
  • an elevating mechanism including an elevating guide is provided in order to elevate the elevator.
  • a lowering equipment which nips a fabric knitted between rollers and lowers the fabric, is also used in some cases (for example, Patent Literature 2).
  • a set up equipment therein is provided with a mechanism to release a set up part from set up needles on a single set up plate. When the set up plate pulls down the fabric to a position at which the fabric can be lowered, the mechanism releases the set up part from the set up needles, and subsequently, the lowering equipment lowers the fabric.
  • each of the plurality of set up plates needs the elevating guide to guide it and the elevating mechanism including the elevating guide is further required for the elevator.
  • the elevator and the plurality of elevating guides needs spaces for installation thereof to the vicinity of the needle bed gap and they are required to be elevated slantwise toward the needle bed gap.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a set up equipment for a flatbed knitting machine in which an elevating guide only in an elevating mechanism is enough even when a plurality of set up plates are included.
  • the present invention is a set up equipment for a flatbed knitting machine, which is installed under a needle bed gap, has a plurality of set up plates that are aligned in a front-back direction and on which set up needles are arranged in parallel in a knitting width direction, selects one set up plate to elevate the set up needles to the needle bed gap, causes the set up needles to capture a set up part of a fabric, and hold and lower the captured set up part in the flatbed knitting machine in which at least a pair of needle beds are arranged so as to oppose each other at front and back sides, characterized in that the set up equipment comprises:
  • the set up equipment having two of said set up plates
  • said connecting mechanism causes said elevator in said lowered state to act on either one of the two set up plates, and to switch said connection or said disconnection, with movement of said holder by said selecting mechanism.
  • a connecting hole is formed in each of said set up plates, said connecting mechanism includes:
  • a connecting groove that opens to a side facing said elevator is formed in each of said set up plates, said connecting mechanism includes:

  • the connecting mechanism causes the elevator in a state of being lowered to a position corresponding to the set up plates accommodated in a holder to act on any one of two set up plates between the set up plates so as to switch connection or disconnection.
  • the elevator is not required to be moved in the knitting width direction, thereby simplifying a selecting mechanism.
  • the elevator and the set up plate are connected to each other by inserting a pin of the elevator through a connecting hole of the set up plate and the connecting state is locked by causing the leading end of the inserted pin to be engaged with a lever provided on the set up plate, thereby elevating the set up plate with the elevator reliably.
  • leading end parts of lock members provided on the elevator are inserted into a connecting groove that is formed in the set up plate and opens to the side facing the elevator.
  • the lock members are driven by a cam, which moves with movement of the holder by the selecting mechanism and can switch connection and locking between the leading end parts and the connecting groove or disconnection and unlocking therebetween. It is sufficient that the connecting groove is provided in the set up plate, thereby simplifying the structure related to the connection and the locking in the set up plate.
  • the set up needles pulling down the set up parts for both sleeves do not interfere with a fabric of the body, which has been already knitted.
  • both sleeves are short like the short-sleeves, knitting of both sleeves can be started after knitting of the body is started, thereby eliminating the necessity of waste knitting that is required when they are knitted simultaneously.

  • the selecting mechanism 58 and the cam 56a are shown only in Fig. 10(a) and only acting parts 56b, 56c of the cam 56a are indicated by bold solid lines in Figs. 10(b), 10(c), 10(d) .
  • the acting parts 56b, 56c of the cam 56a do not act on the pins 59j provided on the lock member 59b, so that the site between the overlapped parts of the leading end parts 59e, 59f of the lock members 59a, 59b is opened in the up-down direction by biasing with the springs 59c, 59d and the connecting groove 53c is pressed in the up-down direction in the drawing from the inner side.
  • the overlapped parts of the leading end parts 59e, 59f deviate from the connecting groove 54c of the set up plate 54, so that only the set up plate 53 can be elevated in the connected and locked state by elevating the elevator 61.
  • the two set up plates 53, 54 are switched in Example 2, equal to or more than three set up plates can also be switched to be connected and locked to the elevators 61 by causing the cams 56a to fit thereto as long as the set up plates have connecting grooves similar to the connecting grooves 53c, 54c on substrates thereof.
  • the respective set up plates 3, 4, 5; 23, 24; 53, 54 have the structures in which the substrates 3a, 4a, 5a; 23a, 24a; 53a, 54a supported at both sides of the knitting width support the functioning plate parts 3b, 4b,5b; 23b, 24; 53b, 54b on which the set up needles 2 are provided in parallel.
  • the substrate 3a, 4a, 5a; 23a, 24a; 53a, 54a and the functioning plate parts 3b, 4b, 5b; 23b, 24; 53b, 54b can be integrated with each other. When they are integrated with each other, they can also be formed to have one rectangular plate shape.
  • the connecting mechanisms 29 , 59 in Example 1 and Example 2 are not required to move the elevators 31, 61 in the knitting width direction, so that the connecting mechanisms can be simplified.
  • movement of the elevators 31 in the direction of being distanced from the substrates of the set up plates in the knitting width direction enables the holder, which accommodates therein the set up plates, to be also moved in the front-back direction by the selecting mechanisms.
  • a selected set up plate can be elevated by returning the elevators to the set up plate side after selecting the set up plate.
