Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bendable knitting needle for a knitting needle game for the production of round cross-section knit products.
  • the invention relates to a knitting game of 3 such knitting needles.
  • Circular knitting needles are used to knit circular cross-section knit products in which the diameter of the cross-section is relatively large (eg pullovers) in which leg-like sections are connected to the free ends of the circular knitting needle, for example via a flexible nylon cable.
  • the stitches are always on the circular needle when knitting.
  • knitting needle games of 5 rigid needles are commonly used, with the rigidly formed needles extending straight from their first free end to their second free end across the central shaft portion.
  • the stitches are first evenly distributed on four of the five needles.
  • the stitches of the first stitch leading needle are then completely knitted onto the free fifth needle to form new stitches until the first needle is free. Thereafter, the stitches on the second needle are completely knitted on the free first needle, and so on.
  • To knit a round the needles must be changed four times. The number of laps is arbitrary.
  • German Patent and Trademark Office has also researched in the priority application for the present application, the following prior art: DE 33 31 243 C2, DE 196 32 578 C2, DE 28 53 701 A1, DE 87 08 212 U1 and US 735 469 S, but in each case only circular needles, no sock knitting needles.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to develop a knitting needle shape, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art, a bendability when knitting between the hands or from the hands outwardly bent or allowed inward between the hands, the change of knitting needles reduced in cross-section knit products and with which in particular knitting products with a smaller diameter of the round cross-section can be easily manufactured and ensure a handy transport, as the bendable knitting needles are unused straight, they can be transported flat and narrow, without becoming bulky.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1 and by a knitting game with the features of claim 1 1.
  • the subject of the invention is a bendable knitting needle, in particular a sock knitting needle, for circular or cylindrical textiles. This is not known from the prior art.
  • the bendability of the knitting needles according to the invention by means of a bendable middle part between the shaft sections, it is possible to produce a round cross-section knitted product with only three knitting needles.
  • the stitches are initially distributed in half on two knitting needles and then knitted alternately using the third knitting needle, which less frequently the knitting needles must be changed, namely only two times per round.
  • the legs of two knitting needles can be aligned with each other so that the guided on the knitting needles are arranged in a circle approximately corresponding to the cross-section of the subsequent knitted product. Due to the individual angle also prevents the knitted fabric is tensioned, thus complicating the further knitting or even prevented.
  • knitting products with a smaller diameter can be made easier.
  • the bendability according to the invention is also advantageous since a trapeze has to be formed for this purpose and the needles according to the invention have to adapt to the shape of the trapezoid and are thus ideally suited for not stretching loops.
  • a knitting game has exactly 3 knitting needles according to the invention. It could be more, but 3 are enough.
  • the extension direction of the respective leg refers particularly to its longitudinal direction.
  • the shank portion and / or the two limbs have a cylindrical cross-section, wherein the free ends of the two limbs are tapered outwardly in their cross-section.
  • the cylindrical cross section serves the simple and low-wear mesh during the knitting process.
  • the shank portion and / or the two legs and / or the free ends may be hollow, solid or formed from a combination thereof.
  • the cross section of the knitting needle according to the invention is not limited to round, but expandable to further embodiments
  • the cross section of the shaft portion and the two legs is formed round and corresponds in diameter to the needle thickness.
  • the needle gauge has a size of usually 1 mm-4.5 mm.
  • a needle thickness up to 7mm diameter is proposed. Larger needle sizes up to 15 mm are also possible, but here the rope length in the middle is slightly longer.
  • Other cross sections such as 4-square and 3-sided are conceivable. According to one embodiment, other polygonal shapes are proposed, for example an octagonal cross-sectional shape.
  • the two legs with their free ends are substantially the same length and each preferably has a length of 5 cm to 15 cm and more preferably a length of 7 cm to 8.5 cm.
  • connection between the knitting needles can be up to 6cm or 7cm long.
  • the shank portion has a continuous circular cross-section. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the lengths of the legs vary and / or have a different size.
  • the shaft section and / or at least one of the two legs, preferably both, and / or their respective free ends comprise natural and / or synthetic materials.
  • the materials are selected from the group of wood, horn, metal, in particular aluminum, plastic, bamboo, composites and / or a combination thereof.
  • the knitting needle is universally applicable and is not limited depending on the material to be entangled.
  • it is proposed to use as material for the legs as metal brass, in particular in each case a brass tube.
  • a high-tech plastic is proposed as a material for the legs as a composite material, in particular a carbon fiber reinforced plastic.
  • the shank portion is bendable. This is, as described, particularly provided so that the shaft portion can be bent elastically and in particular with little force. This can be achieved especially by using nylon as the material for the bendable shaft section.
  • the knitting needle adapts itself to the round knit, namely, especially by itself. Due to its round shape, the knitwear also defines the bending of the knitting needles on which a part of the knit stitches lies.
  • the stitches are especially on two knitting needles and are knitted from the one with a third knitting needle and thereby new stitches come gradually to the third knitting needle and slip on this third knitting needle and thereby gradually on and over the bending knitting needle Baren shaft section.
  • the bendable shaft section or the adjoining leg adapts to the course of the stitches. This is exactly what is made possible by the elastic and with little force bendable shaft portion.
  • plastic polymer especially nylon
  • nylon which achieves the described bendability and is otherwise well suited for guiding stitches.
  • plastic polymer in particular polyamide, especially the nylon mentioned.
  • Further examples are Perlon and Dederon.
  • the two legs and the shank portion are made of a material throughout.
  • the knitting needle can be made on the one hand from a single knitting needle blank and, on the other hand, no joint edges between the legs and the shank portion form, where fine knitting means such as wool can get caught.
  • the same material as already proposed above for the bendable shaft portion here for a knitting needle from a continuous material since with these materials in particular the shaft portion bendable and the legs can be rigid. This can be achieved by different thicknesses of the shaft portion on the one hand and the two legs on the other. If the thighs are thick enough, they are barely bendable.
  • the two legs have a different length and / or thickness, so that the knitting needle has a longer and shorter leg or a thinner and a thicker leg.
  • one of the two legs can function as the legs feeding the stitches and the other as the stitching legs. If the legs are designed differently, they can be better adapted to these two functions.
  • the closure device is designed as a bayonet closure, which comprises at least one insertion element and one receiving element.
  • the receiving element is adapted to receive the insertion element, and the insertion element has a guide groove, which may in particular comprise a longitudinal groove, a transverse groove and a latching groove.
  • the receiving element may have a spring device and a detent.
  • the receiving element is arranged on a leg or respectively on both legs.
  • the insertion element can then be arranged on the bendable shaft section or two insertion elements are provided on the bendable shaft section, namely on each end of one, when the knitting needle has two closure devices.
  • the closure device is designed as a screw device, so that the bendable shaft portion is screwed with at least one side into one of the two legs, or vice versa, the respective leg is screwed with one side in the bendable shaft portion.
  • the knitting needle is characterized in that the bendable shaft portion is formed integrally from a material and the at least one insertion element is designed as a push-in portion.
  • the bendable Section be slightly thicker at its ends and there each have an insertion portion, in which the guide groove can be incorporated.
  • a knitting needle with such a coupling device has the advantage that the legs with the bendable shaft portion are releasably connected to each other and so a leg or the shaft portion can be replaced. It is also contemplated that optional legs of different length and / or thickness can be connected.
  • each leg is firmly connected to the bendable shaft portion, so that only one leg can be exchanged and thereby changed in size.
  • the bendable shaft portion is variable in its length, in particular so that it can be pulled apart and pushed together again, while its length correspondingly changed plastically, while it remains bendable, in particular elastically bendable.
  • the bendable shaft section has a bendable corrugated pipe section, as in the case of a bendable drinking straw, especially one developed by Horst Veith.
  • this corrugated pipe section is made of plastic, in particular of a thermoplastic material.
  • the same material as in the known bendable drinking straw is selected.
  • an elastic coating may be provided which allows stretching and compression of the corrugated pipe section. Sliding may also be achieved by covering an elastic looping section with the corrugated pipe section.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a knitting needle with a bendable shaft section, in particular a sock knitting needle.
  • FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of a knitting needle with a bendable shaft section.
  • Figure 3 shows an embodiment of a closure device of a knitting needle, which is designed as a bayonet closure.
  • the first leg 3 in this case has a first extension direction 5.
  • the second leg 4 has a second extension direction 7.
  • the two legs 3 and 4 have a first free end, Namely the leg 3, the first free end 6 and the leg 4, the second free end 8. Due to the bendable shaft portion 2 forms a variable angle 9 between the two legs 3 and 4 with respect to the center of gravity 10 off.
  • Figure 2 shows an exploded view of a sock knitting needle 1 in which the variable angle 9 with respect to the center of gravity 10 at the bendable shaft portion decreases from left to right, so the variable angle from left to right becomes increasingly sharpened.
  • Figure 3 shows a knitting needle 1, wherein one of the two legs 3, 4 and the sheep tab section 2 via a closure device 1 1 are releasably connected to each other.
  • the closure device is designed as an example as a bayonet closure.
  • This has an insertion element 12 and a receiving element 13.
  • the receiving element is adapted to receive the insertion element, for example, in which the receiving element has a cavity for insertion of the insertion element.
  • the insertion element shown in this case has a longitudinal groove 15, a transverse groove 16 and a locking groove 17, by or in which a catch can be pushed.
  • the receiving element has a spring device 14 and a detent 18.
  • the insertion element 12 and the receiving element 13 in its longitudinal axis detachably connected to each other, as indicated by the double arrow in the figure 3.
  • the catch 18 is first pushed through the longitudinal groove 15, wherein the spring element 14 undergoes compression. If the catch 18 is inserted along the longitudinal groove to the transverse groove, the catch is displaced by a rotation of the insertion or the receiving element along the transverse groove. If the catch 18 then reaches the latching groove 17, the spring element relaxes slightly, so that the catch engages and the plug-in and the receiving elements are connected to each other. If the connection is to be released again, the catch in the reverse order along the grooves 17, 16 and 15 is pushed out.
  • the longitudinal groove 15, the transverse groove 16 and the locking groove 17 together form a guide groove.
  • the guide groove can also be formed on a slide-in element with a small diameter and that only the guide groove is required for the closure device on the insertion element 12, which is purely passive. It is also possible to form the guide groove in the same material having the bendable shaft portion. It is thereby possible to provide the knitting needle with a closure device or two closure devices, while the bendable shaft portion can be made in one piece from a material.
  • the bendable shaft portion in the region of the insertion element 12 has a larger diameter, as in a central region of the bendable shaft portion.
