Description
SPECIFICATION
Gloves and method of knitting gloves
The present invention relates to knitted gloves and to a method of knitting gloves.
In the conventional method for automatically knitting a glove, little finger, third finger, middle finger and forefinger portions are knitted and the upper palm and back of the hand, thumb, lower palm and back of the hand and wrist portions are then knitted, and the finishing-off course is located at the outer end of the wrist portion.
In the case of a knitting operation according to this conventional method, in order to prevent fraying of thread ends of the finishing-off course at the outer end of the wrist portion where the largest force is imposed and fraying is most readilycaused, the edge of the knitted fabric has to be secured by linking or other means. Furthermore, since the knitted fabric of the wrist portion is formed with the.same wale number as that of the knitted fabric of the lower palm and back portion, in order to increase the gripping force of the wrist portion, elastic yarns such as rubber yarns are included in the knitted fabric. Accordingly, elastic yarns are necessary, in addition to knitting threads, for the formation of the fingers or palm and back portion, and therefore the manufacturing cost is increased.Moreover, during use of the glove, the gripping force will be reduced when breakage of the elastic yarns occurs.
Some working gloves used in the United
States of America and in other countries are composed of pile fabrics. In the case where even a wrist portion is formed of a pile fabric, the thickness of the knitted fabric is thereby increased, and even if elastic yarns are included in the wrist portion, a satisfactory gripping force is scarcely obtained.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a glove in which the finishing-off course is not located at the outer end of the wrist portion, and any knitting thread end processing need not be performed at the finishing-off course position of the glove.
In accordance with the invention there is provided a knitted glove comprising a knitted fabric wrist portion which is formed with a wale number smaller than the wale number of a knitted fabric lower palm and back of hand portion, said wrist portion being doubled so that the end of the knitted fabric for the wrist portion is located within the glove, and a waste course portion which is formed by knitting the end of the knitted fabric of the wrist portion with the knitted fabric of the lower palm and back of hand portion and is located inside the glove body at the boundary between the wrist portion and the lower palm and back of hand portion of the glove body.
Also in accordance with the invention there is provided a method of knitting a glove which comprises knitting a glove body continuously from a tip of the glove towards the wrist portion thereof, including the following steps for the knitting of the wrist portion:
holding some of the needles used for the formation of, a palm and back of hand portion in an inoperative position while they are engaged with some loops of a knitted fabric of the palm and back of hand portion,
forming a knitted fabric for the wrist portion on the remaining needles subsequently to the palm and back of hand portion so that the wrist portion is formed with a wale number smaller than the wale number of the knitted fabric of the palm and back of hand portion,
folding the wrist portion so that it is doubled and the end thereof is overlapped on the lower end of the knitted fabric of the palm and back of hand portion,
raising all the needles to an operative position and supplying a yarn to the needles,
knitting with all the needles to form a waste course portion combining the end of the wrist portion integrally with the lower end of the knitted fabric of the palm and back of hand portion, and
turning the knitted glove body inside out so that the waste course portion is located inside the glove body.
Using the present invention, a glove having pile loops on the surface, or a glove having purls of a plain stitch on the surface, in which a .good gripping force is maintained at the wrist portion can be obtained.
A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a front view showing a glove in accordance with the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a sectioned view taken along the line ll-ll in Fig. 1; and,
Figs 3 to 7 are diagrammatic sectional views showing the knitting process of the present invention.
Figs. 1 and 2 are a front view of a glove in accordance with the present invention and a sectioned view of the central portion of the glove, respectively. The glove 1 of the present invention is not different from a known glove up to the point where the glove 1 comprises a little finger 2, a third finger 3, a middle finger 4, a forefinger 5, an upper palm and back of hand portion 6, a thumb 7, a lower palm and back of hand portion 8 and a wrist portion 9, but the glove 1 of the present invention is different from the known glove in that the wale number of the knitted fabric of the wrist portion 9 is smaller than the wale number of the knitted fabric of the lower palm and back of hand portion 8.The knitted fabric of the wrist portion 9 has a length which is twice the length of the wrist portion 9 in the final product, because the knitted fabric of the wrist portion is folded back on itself and the finishing-off course of the fabric at the edge of the wrist portion 9 is knitted in with the boundary between the lower palm and back portion 8 and the wrist portion 9. Furthermore, a waste course portion 10 of several courses is formed. The knitted fabric of each portion of the glove may be of plain stitch, pile stitch or mesh pattern stitch form.However, at the step of knitting the wrist portion, it is indispensable that among the needles used for knitting the palm and back of hand portion, an appropriate number of needles should be inoperative while the knitting operation is performed by the remaining needles, whereby the wale number of the wrist portion is made smaller than the wale number of the palm and back of hand portion, so that the gripping force of the wrist portion is increased. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the wale number of the wrist portion 9 is half the wale number of the lower palm and back of hand portion 8, and, after the knitting operation, the knitted glove is turned inside out.
The knitting method accordinq to the present invention will now be described. The knitting method of the present invention is in agreement with the conventional glove knitting method up to the point where the wrist portion is knitted subsequently to the knitting of the little finger 2, the third finger 3, the middle finger 4, the forefinger 5, the upper palm and back portion 6, the thumb 7 and the lower palm and back portion 8. In other words, the knitting operation is conducted up to the last course of the lower palm and back portion 8 in the same manner as in the conventional method. As shown schematically in Fig.3, the knitted fabric of the lower palm and back portion 8 up to the last course thereof is formed by using all the needles.
This knitted fabric may be a plain stitch fabric, a pile stitch fabric or a pattern stitch fabric. At the start of the operation of knitting the wrist portion 9, some needles 11 are held in an inoperative position in the state where the needles 11 are engaged with loops of the knitted fabric. The greater the number of such needles 11 held in the inoperative position, the more the wale number of the wrist portion 9 is reduced and the greater is the gripping force on the wearer's wrist. However, the diameter of the wrist portion of the glove is too small as compared with the wrist size, and hence, wearing becomes troublesome. Ordinarily, the ratio of the needles 11 placed in the inoperative position to the number of the needles 1 2 placed in the operative position is 1:1. 1:2 or 2:2.
Threads are supplied to those needles 1 2 other than the needles 11 held in the inoperative position and the wrist portion 9 is knitted by these needles 1 2. The thickness and kind of thread used at this step may appropriately be changed. As shown in Fig. 4, a knitted fabric piece 9a constituting the wrist portion is pushed down and hangs down in a bag-like body of the lower palm and back portion 8 by the action of a sinker (not shown). The lower palm and back portion 8 falls in engagement with the inoperative needles 11 in the boundary between the wrist portion 9 and the lower palm and back portion 8 and is kept in the inoperative state.When the knitted fabric piece 9a of the wrist portion is formed to a predetermined length by the subsequent knitting of the wrist portion, as shown in Fig. 5, the Needles 11 which have been held in the inoperative position are raised to the operative position. Then, as shown in Fig. 6, threads are supplied to all the needles and knitting of subsequent courses is started. When knitting of the knitted fabric piece 9a of the wrist portion is completed, the knitted fabric piece 9a is knitted integrally with the knitted fabric of the lower palm and back portion 8. Subsequently, a waste course portion 10 of several courses is knitted by all the needles. After completion of knitting of the waste course portion 10, the threads are cut, and the waste course portion may be left as it is or, if necessary, the waste course threads may be processed.The waste course thread treatment may be accomplished by using heat-fusible yarns for the waste course portion, and heating the waste course portion to melt the yarns and bond them to one another or by connecting the yarn ends or waste course portion 10, whereby the waste course yarns are prevented from having theirlinking loosened. Then, the wrist portion 9 hanging down inside the lower palm and back portion 8 is pulled out, and one has the state where the false stitch portion 10 is then located on the outside of the glove,as shown in Fig. 7. Then, the thus formed bag-like body member is turned inside out so that the waste course portion 10 is located on the inside, producing a glove as shown in, Figs. 1 and 2.
In the method of the present invention, if a glove is formed of plain stitch fabrics, purls are produced on the surface of the final product and many lateral threads of the purls appear on the surface of the glove, with the result that the surface friction of the glove is increased and slippage of the hand during use is prevented.
In the method of the present invention, if a glove is formed of pile fabrics, piles appear on the inner face of the glove, and if this glove is turned inside out, a glove having piles appearing densely on the surface is obtained.
With the present invention, since the number of needles used for the knitting of the wrist portion is smaller than the number of needles used for the knitting of the lower palm and back portion, the size of the wrist portion is smaller than the size of the lower palm and back portion and therefore, even if elastic yarns are not specially included in the wrist portion, a sufficient wrist-gripping effect can be obtained.
At the step of forming the wrist portion, a knitted fabric piece having a length twice the length of the wrist portion of the final product is formed, and the knitted fabric piece is folded back and the end of the thus folded fabric is knitted into the boundary between the lower palm and back portion and the wrist portion. Accordingly, the folded-over part of the knitted fabric piece appears at the end of the wrist portion when the finished glove is put on, thereby preventinq fraying at this region.
In the foregoing embodiment, the wale number of the lower palm and back portion is different from the wale number of the wrist portion. In the present invention, needless to say, not only the wale number but also the thickness of yarn and the stitch number may be made different as between the lower palm and back portion and the wrist portion.
