Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a knit lace having elasticity, easily knitted and having sufficient raised feeling without requiring a raised yarn, and to provide a method for producing the knit lace. <P>SOLUTION: An elastic yarn 3 and a pattern yarn 4 are inserted into a second loop-shaped parts 6a and 6b, and extended in the course direction so as to be knitted into a chain part. The pattern yarn 4 is extended between a first loop-shaped part 5 and the elastic yarn 6. The elastic yarn forms one contact part per one first loop-shaped part. As a result, the number of the contact parts which prevent the expansion and contraction of the elastic yarn is reduced to expand the elastic range. The large expansion and contraction of the elastic yarn enables the pattern yarns to be brought near to make the pattern yarns arranged densely, and to form clear pattern. The pattern yarn is arranged at a position protruded from the elastic yarn, that is a raised position, by the contraction of the elastic yarn. The knit lace having the raised feeling is formed by the pattern yarn arranged so as to be raised. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 11 is a knitting organization chart showing a part of a knitting lace 60 of a conventional technique. The knitted lace 60 is warp 6
1 creates a chain stitch organization. Warp 6
1 has a plurality of loops. The loop constitutes a wale 62 that is continuous in the course direction C, and a predetermined light transmission 64 is provided in the knitted fabric by connecting the plurality of wales 62 in the wale direction W by the weft 63. This through hole 64
By weaving the weft yarn 63 into the wale 62 so that the shape and arrangement of the weft yarn can be variously changed, a sparse portion and a dense portion of the weft yarn 63 can be formed, and a complicated lace pattern can be provided on the knitting lace 60. Further, in the knitting lace 60, the elastic yarn 65 having elasticity is knitted into the wale 62 in the stretched state. The knitted lace 60, which has been knitted, can have elasticity in the course direction C, which is the direction in which the elastic yarn 65 extends. Knitting lace 60 in which such a knitted fabric is knitted
Is used, for example, in women's underwear.

FIG. 12 is a sectional view showing a knitting lace manufacturing apparatus 50 of the prior art. The knitting lace manufacturing apparatus 50 knits the knitting lace 60 by knitting the warp yarn 61, the jacquard yarn 66 and the handle yarn 67 that are the weft yarn 63, the elastic yarn 65, and the floating yarn 68 at the knitting portion 69. Jacquard thread 6
The knitting lace 60 is knitted in a cloth shape by knitting so that 6 connects the plurality of wales 62. The floating yarn 68 has a protruding portion that protrudes from the front surface, which is one surface in the thickness direction of the knitting lace 60. As a result, the knitting lace 60 can have a feeling of being raised on the front surface. Further, the pattern yarn 67 is densely knitted to fill the through holes 64 of the knitted fabric and form a predetermined pattern pattern on the knitting lace 60.

The knitting section 69 is composed of a knitting needle and a plurality of reeds for feeding the respective yarns to the knitting needle, and knits each yarn by the movement of the knitting needle and the reed to knit a knitting lace.
Above the knitting portion 69, stands for the floating yarn 68 and the handle yarn 67 and beams for the warp yarn 61 and the jacquard yarn 66 are arranged.

Front A of the knitting section 69, that is, the knitting section 69
A stand for the floating yarn 68 is arranged in the front swing direction of the reed, and the beam for the warp yarn 61, the beam for the jacquard yarn 66, and the stand for the handle yarn 67 are arranged in this order toward the rear B of the knitting section 69. Are arranged side by side.
The beam for the elastic yarn 65 is arranged at the rear side B of the knitting portion 69, that is, in the backswing direction of the reed.

Each yarn is sent from the stand and each beam, the tension is adjusted, and the yarn is sent to the corresponding reed of the knitting section 69. The reed for the floating yarn 68 is provided in front of the reed for the warp yarn 61, with the fall plate interposed therebetween. Further, a reed for the elastic yarn is provided at the rearmost B of each reed. The knitting needle catches the floating yarn 68, then the warp yarn 61, then the jacquard yarn 66 and the handle yarn 67, and finally the stretchable yarn 65 by the movement of each reed to which each yarn is guided. Catch and knit the knitting lace 60. As a result, the floating yarn 6 is placed in the loop of the warp yarn 61.
8, the jacquard yarn 66, the pattern yarn 67, and the elastic yarn 65 are knitted.

The knitting lace 60 has a raised feeling on the front surface by knitting the floating thread 68 so that the surface on the protruding side from which the floating thread 68 projects is the front surface of the knitting lace. Further, by knitting the elastic yarn 65 in the stretched state, the elastic yarn contracts after knitting, and the knitting lace 60 is
The knitted lace has elasticity in the direction in which the elastic yarn 65 extends.

[0008]

The knitting lace 60 of the prior art has a floating yarn 68 having a projecting portion projecting to one side in the thickness direction in addition to the warp yarn 61 and the jacquard yarn 66 in order to give a feeling of rising. However, there is a problem that the number of yarns forming the knitting lace 60 increases. In order to form the protrusion of the float yarn 68, the warp yarn 61
It is necessary to move the float yarn 68 from the loop-formable position in the hook of the knitting needle to the non-loop-formable position at the base of the knitting needle by the fall plate before the loop is formed by. The knitting lace manufacturing apparatus 50 has a problem in that the knitting lace 60 is not knitted smoothly while the knitting lace 60 is not knitted smoothly because the knitting lace 60 is operated by such a fall plate.

FIG. 13 is an enlarged view showing a part of the knitting structure of a conventional knitting lace 60, and showing an enlarged part in which a handle thread 67 and a stretchable thread 65 are woven into a warp thread 61. . When the knitting lace manufacturing apparatus 50 of the above-described conventional technique manufactures the knitting lace without using the float yarn 68, the pattern thread 67 cannot be sufficiently projected to the front surface of the knitting lace.

The above-mentioned prior art knitting lace manufacturing apparatus 5
By 0, the warp yarn 61 is formed in a substantially U shape, and the first loop-shaped portion 7 arranged in the course direction C and the wale direction W is arranged.
0 and a second loop-shaped portion 71, and a first and a second
Looped portions 70 and 71 are alternately arranged to form a chain stitch structure.

The second loop-shaped portion 71a extends through the first loop-shaped portion 70b, which is the first stage in the course direction of the first loop-shaped portion 70a connected to one side of the second loop-shaped portion 71a, and extends through the second loop-shaped portion 71a. The first loop-shaped portion 70a connected to one side of the second loop-shaped portion 71a.
The first loop-shaped portion 70a connected to one side of a is connected to the first loop-shaped portion 70c at the subsequent stage in the course direction.

The elastic yarn 65 and the handle yarn 67 are woven into the loop of the warp yarn 61 through the second loop-shaped portions 71a and 71b. Further, since the manufacturing device 50 catches the stretchable yarn 65 after the handle yarn 67, the stretchable yarn 65 passes between the handle yarn 67 and the first loop-shaped portions 70a and 70b.

The elastic yarn 65 extends in the course direction on one side of the first loop-shaped portion 70. The handle thread 67 also extends in the wale direction W on one side of the first loop-shaped portion 70. Therefore, the elastic yarn 65 intersects with the handle yarn 67 at the middle of the first loop-shaped portion 70 in the course direction.

The elastic yarn 65 extends between the handle yarn 67 and the first loop-shaped portion 70 to extend the handle yarn 67.
And a portion B with which the first loop-shaped portion 71 abuts. Stretchable thread 65 with which the handle thread 67 abuts
The portion A of the first loop-shaped portion 70
The portion B of the elastic yarn 65, which is pressed toward the first loop-shaped portion 71 and is in contact with the first loop-shaped portion 71, is pressed toward the second loop-shaped portion 71 by the first loop-shaped portion 70. The portion A of the stretchable yarn 65 that abuts the handle yarn 67 is the portion where the stretchable yarn 65 and the handle yarn 67 intersect, and the first loop-shaped portion 70.
, That is, at the middle of the first loop-shaped portion in the course direction. The portion B of the elastic yarn 65 that contacts the first loop-shaped portion 70 contacts at one location in the circumferential direction of the first loop-shaped portion 70.

Therefore, the elastic yarn 65 that abuts the handle yarn 67
The portion A of the elastic yarn 6 that contacts the first loop-shaped portion 70
It differs from the part B of 5 in the course direction. As described above, the elastic yarn 65 has the two contact portions A and B before passing through the one first loop-shaped portion, and contacts the handle yarn 67 and the first loop-shaped portion 70.

Since the abutting portions A and B are in contact with the other yarns 61 and 67, the elastic yarn 65 is difficult to expand and contract. Therefore, the two contact portions A and B are resistance portions that inhibit the expansion and contraction of the elastic yarn 65. Since the elastic yarn 65 has two resistance portions per one first loop-shaped portion, there is a problem that the elastic region that can freely expand and contract is reduced, and it is prevented from expanding and contracting sufficiently.

As described above, the knitted lace 60 of the conventional technique is
Since the amount of expansion and contraction of the elastic yarn 65 is not sufficient, the pattern yarn 67 cannot be strongly gathered together, and the amount of movement of the pattern yarn 67 accompanying the expansion and contraction of the elastic yarn 65 is small. This allows the elastic yarn 65
Even if is contracted in the course direction C, it is difficult for the patterned yarns arranged in the course direction to come close to each other. Further, the handle thread 67 is unlikely to bend. Therefore, the pattern yarns 67 cannot be arranged densely, and the knitted lace 60 having a feeling of rising cannot be formed.

FIG. 14 is a sectional view taken along the line S14-S14 in FIG. 13, showing the contact state between the elastic yarn 65 and the handle yarn 67. The knitting lace 60 forms a pattern by partially arranging the pattern yarn 65 on the knitted fabric. Therefore, the surface on which the arrangement state of the handle thread 67 can be clearly confirmed is the front surface. Therefore, the surface in the direction T1 on the side where the handle yarn 67 is arranged with respect to the elastic yarn 65 is the knitting lace 6
The surface of 0 is the front surface, while the surface of T2 is the back surface.

In the portion A where the elastic yarn 65 abuts on the handle yarn 67, the first loop-shaped portions 70a arranged on both sides in the wale direction with the elastic yarn 65 sandwiched therebetween are provided with the handle yarn 67 on the same direction T2 side as the elastic yarn 65. Abut. In addition, the second loop-shaped portion 71a
However, the direction T1 opposite to the direction T2 in which the elastic yarn 65 abuts
The side contacts the handle 67.

When the warp yarn 61 is stretched, two first loop-shaped portions 70a arranged on both sides of the elastic yarn 65 are stretched.
Are close to each other. As a result, the stretchable yarn 65 arranged between the two first loop-shaped portions 70a is sandwiched between the two side portions 73 in the wale direction W by the two first loop-shaped portions 70a. In this way, the elastic yarn 65 has the resistance portion A that abuts the handle yarn 67 and the wale direction side portions 73 that are sandwiched by the two first loop-shaped portions 70a, and are restrained by the abutting portions at these three points. It Therefore, in the portion A of the elastic yarn 65 that abuts the handle yarn 67, the degree of freedom is particularly reduced, the amount of expansion and contraction is further reduced, and it is not possible to form the knitting lace 60 with a feeling of rising.

[0021] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a knitted lace which can be easily knitted and has a sufficient feeling of rising without using a floating yarn, and a method for manufacturing the same.

[0022]

According to the present invention, the warp yarns form a plurality of stages in which the first loop-shaped portions and the second loop-shaped portions are alternately arranged and are arranged side by side in the course direction. The first loop-shaped portion of the second loop-shaped portion in the course direction preceding the first loop-shaped portion is inserted to extend toward the course-direction rear stage, and the first loop-shaped portion of the second loop-shaped portion is in the course direction same stage.
A predetermined second loop-shaped portion is inserted by a chain portion formed by connecting the loop-shaped portion and connecting to the first loop-shaped portion at the latter stage in the course direction and a stretchable yarn having elasticity. , A stretchable yarn portion formed to extend in the course direction and knitted into a chain portion, and a predetermined second loop-shaped portion that is inserted by a handle yarn and extends in the wale direction to form a first loop-shaped portion and the stretchable yarn portion. Formed by extending between and, and having a pattern thread portion knitted into the chain portion,
A knitting lace is characterized in that a knitted fabric is knitted by interconnecting a plurality of chain portions in a wale direction.

According to the present invention, the chain structure formed by the warp yarns is connected to each other, so that the underlying base structure can be formed. The elastic yarn extends through the second loop-shaped portion and extends in the course direction and is knitted into the chain portion. The handle yarn extends through the second loop-shaped portion and extends in the wale direction and is knitted into the chain portion. Therefore, when the stretchable yarn and the handle yarn pass through the same second loop-shaped portion, the mutual yarns intersect each other inside the second loop-shaped portion.

Since the handle yarn extends between the first loop-shaped portion and the stretchable yarn, the stretchable yarn extends between the handle yarn and the second loop-shaped portion. As a result, the elastic yarn is formed with a portion in contact with the handle yarn and a portion in contact with the second loop-shaped portion.
The portion where the second loop-shaped portion abuts is pressed toward the first loop-shaped portion by the second loop-shaped portion, and the portion where the handle yarn abuts is pressed toward the second loop-shaped portion by the handle yarn. To be

The stretchable yarn portion that abuts the handle yarn is the portion where the stretchable yarn and the handle yarn intersect, and among the first loop-shaped portion,
That is, the first loop-shaped portion abuts in the middle of the course direction. Also, the part of the elastic yarn that comes into contact with the second loop-shaped part is
The second loop-shaped portion abuts at one location in the circumferential direction, and the first loop-shaped portion abuts in the middle in the course direction. Therefore, the portion of the elastic yarn that abuts the handle yarn and the portion of the elastic yarn that abuts the second loop-shaped portion are at substantially the same position in the course direction.

Therefore, the elastic yarn is formed with one abutting portion which abuts the handle yarn and the second loop-shaped portion while extending one side of the first loop-shaped portion in the course direction C.
This contact portion serves as a resistance portion that inhibits the expansion and contraction of the elastic yarn 65. One resistance portion is formed while extending one side of the first loop-shaped portion in the course direction C. Therefore, the elastic yarn has fewer resistance points that inhibit expansion and contraction, and the relaxed part that can freely expand and contract, as compared to the case where two resistance parts are formed as in the conventional technique shown in FIG. Thirteen
Stretches more than the conventional lace shown in.

When the elastic yarn expands and contracts, the knitted fabric receives a force to contract in the course direction due to the expansion and contraction of the elastic yarn. As a result, a plurality of handle threads arranged in the course direction can be brought close to each other in the course direction. At this time, the stretchable yarn is sufficiently stretched and contracted, so that the pattern yarn has a smaller gap between the adjacent pattern yarns.
As a result, the pattern yarn can be made dense, the difference between the knitted fabric portion in which the pattern yarn is knitted and the knitted fabric portion in which the pattern yarn is not knitted can be made clear, and a clear pattern can be formed.

As the elastic yarn further expands and contracts, the restraint portion of the warp that holds the elastic yarn comes closer to the course direction,
The remaining part of the warp is convexly curved on the opposite side of the elastic yarn. Therefore, when the elastic yarn expands and contracts, the handle yarn is connected to the warp that is convexly curved, and is arranged at a position protruding from the elastic yarn, that is, in a raised state. By arranging the handle threads in a raised manner, it is possible to form a knitted lace with a raised feel.

In the present invention, the chain portion has a lateral swing portion extending in the wale direction, and the lateral swing portion knits a substantially power net structure in which adjacent chain portions in the wale direction are interconnected. Is characterized by.

According to the present invention, a substantially power net structure in which chain portions are interconnected by lateral swing portions is knitted. This allows the knitted lace to have elasticity not only in the course direction but also in the wale direction. Since the knitted fabric receives a force that shrinks in the course direction and the wale direction due to the power net structure, the restraint portion of the pattern yarn is close to the course direction and the wale direction, and the remaining loose portion of the handle yarn that is not restrained is the knitted fabric. Curved convexly in the thickness direction. As a result, the pattern yarns can be densely arranged in the curved portion, and a knitted lace having a feeling of swell can be formed. In addition to forming a predetermined lace pattern, it can have elasticity in the course direction and the wale direction.

According to the present invention, the first loop-shaped portion and the second loop-shaped portion are alternately arranged by the warp so as to form a plurality of stages arranged in the course direction, and the second loop-shaped portion is the second loop-shaped portion. The first loop-shaped portion of the portion in the course direction front stage is inserted to extend toward the course direction rear stage, and
The first loop-shaped portion of the loop-shaped portion at the same stage in the course direction is inserted to form a chain portion continuous to the first loop-shaped portion at the latter stage of the course direction, and the predetermined second loop-shaped portion is formed by the elastic yarn having elasticity. The elastic thread portion is inserted through the portion and extends in the course direction and is knitted into a predetermined chain portion, and the predetermined second loop-shaped portion is inserted by the handle thread and extends in the wale direction to form the first loop-shaped portion. Forming a pattern yarn portion extending between the portion and the elastic yarn and knitted into a predetermined chain portion,
The knitted fabric is knitted by connecting the chain portions to each other in the wale direction, the warp yarn is fed to the knitting needle, the stretchable yarn is fed in the stretched state, and then the handle yarn is fed. It is a method of manufacturing a knitted lace.

According to the present invention, after the warp yarn is fed, the stretchable yarn is fed in the stretched state, and then the handle yarn is fed, so that the stretchable yarn can be easily and surely formed into the second loop shape. Passing through the portion and extending in the course direction, the handle yarn extending through the second loop-shaped portion and extending in the wale direction, and further extending the handle yarn between the first loop-shaped portion and the elastic yarn to knit. You can

By linking the chain portions formed by the warp yarns to each other, it is possible to form a base underlying structure. The elastic yarn is inserted into the second loop-shaped portion, extends in the course direction, and is knitted into the chain portion.
It is inserted into the loop-shaped portion, extends in the wale direction, and is knitted into the chain portion. Therefore, the elastic yarn and the handle yarn are the same second
When passing through the loop-shaped portion, the yarns of each cross inside the second loop-shaped portion.

Since the handle yarn extends between the first loop-shaped portion and the stretchable yarn, the stretchable yarn extends between the handle yarn and the second loop-shaped portion. As a result, the elastic yarn is formed with a portion in contact with the handle yarn and a portion in contact with the second loop-shaped portion.
The portion where the second loop-shaped portion abuts is pressed toward the first loop-shaped portion by the second loop-shaped portion, and the portion where the handle yarn abuts is pressed toward the second loop-shaped portion by the handle yarn. To be

The stretchable yarn portion that abuts the handle yarn is a portion where the stretchable yarn and the handle yarn intersect, and among the first loop-shaped portion,
That is, the first loop-shaped portion abuts in the middle of the course direction. Also, the part of the elastic yarn that comes into contact with the second loop-shaped part is
The second loop-shaped portion abuts at one location in the circumferential direction, and the first loop-shaped portion abuts in the middle in the course direction. Therefore, the portion of the elastic yarn that abuts the handle yarn and the portion of the elastic yarn that abuts the second loop-shaped portion are at substantially the same position in the course direction.

Therefore, the elastic yarn is formed with one contact portion which comes into contact with the handle yarn and the second loop-shaped portion while extending one side of the first loop-shaped portion in the course direction. This contact portion serves as a resistance portion that inhibits the expansion and contraction of the elastic yarn 65. One resistance portion is formed while extending one side of the first loop-shaped portion in the course direction C. Therefore, the elastic yarn has few resistance points that inhibit the expansion and contraction, the relaxed portion that can freely expand and contract increases, and further expands and contracts.

When the elastic yarn expands and contracts, the knitted fabric receives a force that contracts in the course direction due to the expansion and contraction of the elastic yarn. As a result, a plurality of handle threads arranged in the course direction can be brought close to each other in the course direction. At this time, the stretchable yarn is sufficiently stretched and contracted, so that the pattern yarn has a smaller gap between the adjacent pattern yarns.
As a result, the pattern yarn can be made dense, and the difference between the knitted fabric portion in which the pattern yarn is knitted and the knitted fabric portion in which the pattern yarn is not knitted can be made clear, and a clear pattern can be formed.

As the stretchable yarn expands and contracts, the portion of the warp that restrains the stretchable yarn comes close to the course direction, and the remaining portion of the warp bends convexly on the side opposite to the stretchable yarn. Therefore, the handle yarn is connected to the warp yarn which is convexly curved, and is arranged at a position protruding from the elastic yarn, that is, in a raised state. By arranging the handle threads in a raised manner, it is possible to form a knitted lace with a raised feel.

In the present invention, a lateral swing portion extending in the wale direction is formed in the chain portion, and a lateral power portion knits a substantially power net structure in which adjacent chain portions in the wale direction are interconnected. Characterize.

By knitting a substantially power net structure, it is possible to have elasticity not only in the course direction but also in the wale direction. Since the restraint portion and the remaining loosened portion are formed in the handle yarn, the stretchable yarn shrinks so that the restraint portion approaches the course direction and the wale direction, and the relaxed portion is directed toward one side in the thickness direction of the knitted fabric. To bend. As a result, the pattern yarns can be arranged more densely, and the pattern yarns can be arranged so as to project in the other direction in the thickness direction, and a knitted lace having a feeling of swell can be formed. In addition to forming a predetermined lace pattern, it can have elasticity in the course direction and the wale direction.

1 is a schematic view showing a knitting structure by enlarging a part of a knitting lace 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The knitting lace 1 is knitted including a warp yarn 2, an elastic yarn 3 and a handle yarn 4. The knitted lace 1 is firstly
A loop-shaped part 5 and a second loop-shaped part 6 are formed. The first loop-shaped portions 5 and the second loop-shaped portions 6 are alternately formed and arranged in a plurality of stages in the course direction C. Further, the warp 2 causes the second loop-shaped portion 6a to move to the second
The first loop-shaped portion 5a of the first stage C1 in the course direction of the loop-shaped portion 6a extends from one side to the other side to the second stage C2 in the course direction, and the first loop-shaped portion 5a at the same stage as the second loop-shaped portion 6a. From the other side to the one side to extend to the course-direction rear stage C2 and to be continuous with the first loop-shaped portion 5c of the course direction rear-stage C2 of the second loop-shaped portion 6a. In this way, the first loop-shaped portions 5 and the second loop-shaped portions 6 are alternately connected to form a chained portion 11 that is chained and continuous in the course direction C.

In the present specification, the course direction C is the warp direction of the knitted fabric and the lace knitting direction. The wale direction W is the weft direction of the knitted fabric, and is the direction intersecting the lace knitting direction. A plurality of the first loop-shaped portions 5 are arranged side by side in the course direction C and the wale direction W. The first loop-shaped portion 5 forms a wale in which the loop-shaped portions are aligned in the course direction C, and
The looped portion 2a of the looped portion is in the wale direction W.
Form a line of courses. The wales knitted by the warp yarns 2 are knitted by the warp yarns 2 or the weft yarns to knit a base ground design. As the base structure, for example, a chain stitch structure is knitted.

The elastic yarn 3 has elasticity and has a chain portion 11.
Form a stretchable yarn portion that is woven into. The elastic yarn 3 is knitted in a stretched state during knitting and stretches after knitting. Elastic yarn 3
Extends in the course direction C through the predetermined second loop-shaped portions 6a and 6b. The elastic yarns 3 are arranged side by side in the course direction.

For example, the elastic yarn 3 has the first loop-shaped portion 5
intersection 9 of a to intersection 1 of the second loop-shaped portion 6a
The plurality of second loop-shaped portions 6 a and 6 b arranged in the course direction C are alternately inserted and extended so as to be directed toward 0. The intersecting portions 9 and 10 are portions where the second loop-shaped portion 6a and the first loop-shaped portion 5a in which the second loop-shaped portion 6a is continuous intersect with each other.

The pattern thread 4 is a thread for forming a pattern pattern on the knitted fabric, and forms a dense portion after knitting. Handle thread 4
Is a pattern yarn portion which is inserted into a predetermined second loop-shaped portion 6a, 6b, extends in the wale direction W, extends between the first loop-shaped portion 5a, 5b and the elastic yarn 3, and is knitted into the chain portion 11. To form. The handle thread 4 extends in a substantially S-shape and is folded back a plurality of times.

In the handle yarn 4, a first extending portion 4a extending in one W1 in the wale direction and a second extending portion 4b extending in the other W2 in the wale direction extend in a substantially U-shape.
connected by c. The folded-back portion 4c extends through the two second loop-shaped portions 6a and 6b arranged in the course direction C, and is knitted in the chain portion 11. The handle yarn 4 faces an imaginary surface along the first loop-shaped portions 5a and 5b, and extends along the wale direction W in the first loop-shaped portions 5a and 5b. When the stretchable yarn 3 and the handle yarn 4 pass through the same second loop-shaped portion 6a, the first loop-shaped portion 5
It intersects at the part facing the virtual plane along the.

When the warp yarn 2 is stretched in the course direction C, the radius of curvature of the first loop-shaped portions 5a, 5b and the second loop-shaped portions 6a, 6b is reduced. When the warp yarn 2 is stretched, the first loop-shaped portion and the second loop-shaped portions 5 and 6 become smaller, and the first loop-shaped portion 5a,
Portions 7 at two locations in the circumferential direction of 5b come into contact with the handle thread 4, and portions 8 at one location in the circumferential direction of the second loop-shaped portions 6a and 6b come into contact with the elastic yarn 3. Further, the elastic yarn 3 and the handle yarn 4 come into contact with each other at the intersecting portions of the first loop-shaped portion 5.

The handle yarn 4 and the elastic yarn 3 which pass through the second loop-shaped portion 6 are sandwiched by the first loop-shaped portion 5 and the second loop-shaped portion 6. Second loop-shaped portion 6a
The elastic yarn 3 and the elastic yarn 3 intersect each other at a portion facing the virtual surface extending along the first loop-shaped portion 5.

The chain portions 11 are formed, for example, in a chain stitch shape, and are adjacent to each other in the wale direction W.
Are interconnected. For example, when the chain portions 11 adjacent to each other in the wale direction W are intertwined with each other, it is possible to form a base texture interconnected in the wale direction W. Alternatively, by weaving the weft yarns extending in the wale direction W into the plurality of chain portions 11 lined up in the wale direction W, the chain portions in which the weft yarns are braided can be connected to each other, and a base design can be formed.

In this way, the chain portion 11 in the wale direction W
By knitting the stretchable yarn 3 in the base structure interconnected with each other, the knitting lace 1 can be made stretchable, and the pattern yarn 4 is knitted in the chain portion 11 of the predetermined region. The knitted lace 1 having a patterned pattern can be formed by forming the sparse portion and the dense portion of the yarn.

By connecting the chain portions 11 formed by the warp yarns 2 to each other, it is possible to form a base underlying structure. The elastic yarn 3 includes the second loop-shaped portion 6
a and 6b are inserted to extend in the course direction C to form a chain portion 11
The pattern thread 4 is inserted into the second loop-shaped portions 6a and 6b, extends in the wale direction W, and is knitted into the chain portion 11. Therefore, when the elastic yarn 3 and the handle yarn 4 pass through the same second loop-shaped portions 6a and 6b, the mutual yarns 3 and
4 intersect inside the second loop-shaped portions 6a and 6b.

Since the pattern thread 4 extends between the first loop-shaped portions 5a and 5b and the elastic thread 3, the elastic thread 3 is formed of the pattern thread 4 and the second thread.
It extends between the loop-shaped portions 6a and 6b. As a result, the elastic yarn 3 is formed with a portion 8a with which the handle yarn 4 abuts and a portion 8b with which the second loop-shaped portion abuts. The portion 8b with which the second loop-shaped portions 6a, 6b contact is pressed by the second loop-shaped portions 6a, 6b toward the first loop-shaped portions 5a, 5b, and the portion 8b with which the handle thread 4 contacts is the handle. The thread 4 presses it toward the second loop-shaped portions 6a and 6b.

The portion 8a of the elastic yarn 3 that abuts the handle yarn 4 is
It is a portion where the elastic yarn 3 and the handle yarn 4 intersect, and among the first loop-shaped portions 5a and 5b, that is, the first loop-shaped portion 5
It abuts in the middle of the course direction of a and 5b. Further, the portion 8b of the elastic yarn 3 that comes into contact with the second loop-shaped portions 6a and 6b comes into contact with the second loop-shaped portions 6a and 6b at one location in the circumferential direction, and comes into contact with the first loop-shaped portion at the middle of the course direction. Therefore, the portion 8a of the elastic yarn 3 that abuts the handle yarn 4 and the portion 8b of the elastic yarn 3 that abuts the second loop-shaped portions 6a and 6b are substantially the same portion A in the course direction.

Therefore, the elastic yarn 3 is formed with one contact portion A which contacts the handle yarn 4 and the second loop-shaped portion 6 while extending one side of the first loop-shaped portion 5 in the course direction C. It The contact portion A serves as a resistance portion A that inhibits the expansion and contraction of the elastic yarn 65. The elastic yarn 3 is second to the pattern yarn 4.
Since it is arranged on the loop-shaped portion 6 side, it does not come into contact with the first loop-shaped portions 5a and 5b. Therefore, the portion B where the elastic yarn 3 extends on the first loop-shaped portion 5a does not become the contact portion.

Therefore, one resistance portion A is formed while one side of one first loop-shaped portion 5a extends in the course direction C. Compared to the case where two resistance portions A and B are formed as in the conventional technique shown in FIG. 13, the elastic yarn 3 has less resistance points that inhibit expansion and contraction, and the relaxed portion that can freely expand and contract increases. However, it expands and contracts more than the conventional knitting lace 1 shown in FIG.

When the elastic yarn 3 expands or contracts, the expansion or contraction of the elastic yarn 3 causes the knitted fabric to contract in the course direction C. As a result, the plurality of handle threads 4 arranged in the course direction C can be brought close to each other in the course direction C. At this time, the stretchable yarn 3 is sufficiently stretched and contracted, so that the pattern yarns 4 have a smaller gap between the adjacent pattern yarns 4. As a result, the pattern thread 4 can be made dense, the difference between the knitted fabric portion in which the pattern yarn 4 is knitted and the knitted fabric portion in which the pattern yarn 4 is not knitted can be made clear, and a clear pattern can be formed. .

FIG. 2 is a schematic view for explaining the rise of the handle thread 4. 2 (1) shows a state before the elastic yarn 3 expands / contracts, FIG. 2 (2) shows a state where the elastic yarn 3 expands / contracts, and FIG. 2 (3) shows a state where the elastic yarn further expands / contracts. FIG. FIG. 2 shows the elastic yarn 3 and the handle yarn 4 and omits the other yarns.

As shown in FIG. 2 (1), when the elastic yarn 3 is in the stretched state, the pattern yarns 4 arranged in the course direction C are arranged with a space therebetween. The handle thread 4 is sandwiched between the elastic thread 3 and the first loop-shaped portion 5. The handle yarn 4 is constrained from displacement with the stretch yarn 3 at the portion A of the stretch yarn 3 that contacts the handle yarn 4.

As shown in FIG. 2 (2), when the elastic yarn 3 contracts, the restraining portions of the warp yarns 2 that sandwich the elastic yarn 3 approach each other in the course direction, and the handle yarns 4 approach each other in the course direction. F1 receives a force and abuts each other, and they are densely arranged. As shown in FIG. 2 (3), when the elastic yarn 3 further expands and contracts from the state of FIG. 2 (2), the restraining portion of the warp 2 holding the elastic yarn 3 further approaches in the course direction C, and the remaining warp 2 remains. The portion is curved convexly on the opposite side T2 of the elastic yarn 3. At this time,
The handle yarn 4 is connected to the warp yarn 2 in a convexly curved state, and is arranged in the direction F2 projecting from the elastic yarn 3, that is, in a raised state. By arranging the handle thread 4 in a raised state, it is possible to form a knitted lace with a raised feeling. The surface of the knitting lace 1 on which the pattern thread 4 projects is the front surface, and the surface on the opposite side T1 is the back surface, so that the pattern thread 4 projects to the front side and has a feeling of swelling. Can be organized.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the section line S3-S3 of FIG. 1, showing the contact state between the elastic yarn 3 and the handle yarn 4. At the portion where the elastic yarn 3 comes into contact with the handle yarn 4, the handle yarn 4 is
The two portions 7 of the first loop-shaped portion 5a come into contact with the outer peripheral surface thereof, and the elastic yarn 3 comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the opposite side where the handle yarn 4 comes into contact with the first loop-shaped portion 5a. The elastic yarn 3 and the second loop-shaped portion 6 are provided at the portion where the elastic yarn 3 comes into contact with the handle yarn 4.
A is arranged in the extending direction of the handle thread 4.

Therefore, the elastic yarn 3 is not clamped from both sides by the two portions of the first loop-shaped portion 5a unlike the conventional knitting lace 1 shown in FIG. The restraint on the part can be reduced.
As a result, the degree of freedom of the portion that contacts the elastic yarn 3 can be increased as compared with the conventional knitted lace. Therefore, the amount of expansion and contraction of the elastic yarn can be further increased, and the amount by which the handle yarn 4 rises can be increased.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the stretchable yarn 3 is arranged closer to the second loop-shaped portion 6 side than the handle yarn 4, it is in contact with the first loop-shaped portions 5a and 5b. There is no contact. Therefore, the portion B where the elastic yarn 3 extends above the first loop-shaped portion 5a does not become the contact portion, and the elastic yarn 3
Only one resistance portion A that prevents expansion and contraction is formed while extending one side of one first loop-shaped portion 5a in the course direction C. As a result, compared with the conventional knitted lace shown in FIG. 13, it is possible to reduce the resistance portion that hinders the expansion and contraction of the elastic yarn 3, and it is possible to improve the elasticity. As a result, the handle thread 4 approaches the course direction C and a dense portion can be formed. It is possible to produce a knitted lace having a distinctive swelling feeling by making the dense and sparse areas of the yarn more distinct. Further, the remaining portion of the restraining portion of the warp yarn 2 can be curved by bringing the restraining portion where the handle yarn 4 restrains the stretchable yarn close to each other in the course direction.
Since the handle yarn 4 is arranged on the warp yarn 2 in a curved state, the region where the handle yarn 4 is arranged can be projected on the front surface of the knitting lace 1.

Since the handle yarn 4 and the elastic yarn 3 are constrained at the contact portion A, the elastic yarn 3 expands and contracts,
The folded-back portion 4c has a small radius of curvature and is curved.
As a result, the gathering of the yarns at the folded-back portion 4c can be made dense, and the dense portion of the yarns can be formed to form a knitting lace having a feeling of rising. The boundary between the sparse portion and the dense portion can be made clear by providing the folded-back portion 4c of the pattern thread 4 at the portion that becomes the edge of the pattern.

As shown in FIG. 3, a pattern yarn 4 is formed on the surface side of the knitted fabric, and the warp yarn 2 is arranged on the front side of the pattern yarn 4.
Since two portions 7 of the first loop-shaped portion 5a of the warp 2 in the circumferential direction are provided, the circumferential direction 2 of the first loop-shaped portion 5a of the warp 2 is
The location is raised from the pattern thread 4 to the front side, so that the feeling of the knitted race can be further improved.

When the elastic yarn 3 and the pattern yarn 4 are knitted into the knitted fabric as described above, the pattern yarn 4 can be densely formed without using the floating yarn, and the knitted lace 1 has a feeling of rising. be able to. Further, by not using the floating yarn, the number of yarns required for the knitting lace 1 can be reduced. This can prevent the knitted fabric from becoming complicated and reduce the production cost. Further, without using a reed and a fall plate for knitting the floating yarn into the knitting lace 1, it can be easily formed by an existing device. Further, since the stretchable yarn 5 is knitted into the knitting lace along with the formation of the protruding portion 4b of the handle yarn 4, the knitting lace can have elasticity.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a contact state between the insertion yarn 101 and the handle yarn 4 of the knitting lace 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Another embodiment of the knitting lace 100 is shown in FIG.
Shows a configuration almost similar to the conventional knitting lace shown in
Instead of the elastic yarn 3, a core yarn 3a and a core yarn 3a having elasticity.
You may use the insertion thread 101 which consists of the coating thread 3b which coat | covers. For example, the covering yarn 3b is a covering yarn.
As a result, the core yarn 3a of the insertion yarn 101 contracts after knitting, whereby the covering yarn 3b relaxes and fluff can be formed.

The knitting lace 100 is the knitting lace 1 shown in FIG.
Similarly to the above, the pattern yarns 4 can be densely arranged and can be made to project in the thickness direction, so that a knitted lace having a feeling of rising can be formed. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, at the portion where the insertion thread 101 contacts the handle thread 4, the insert thread 101 and the second loop-shaped portion 6a are arranged in the extending direction of the handle thread 4. Therefore, since the insertion yarn 101 is not sandwiched by other yarns on both sides unlike the conventional knitting lace 60 shown in FIG. 13, there is no yarn that hinders the loosened fluff of the covering yarn 3b. This makes it more fluffy and improves the feel of the knitted lace. At this time, the fluff protrudes toward the side T1 opposite to the handle yarn 4, and thus protrudes to the back side of the knitted lace. As a result, a knitted lace having a raised feeling and a soft feel can be formed on the back side by the handle yarn on the front side.

Insert and extend.
Thus, the first chain portion 13 and the second chain portion 1
A braided lace having a substantially power net structure similar to the power net structure is knitted by the 4 and the elastic yarn 12. Further, the handle thread 4 extends in the wale direction W by passing through the predetermined second loop-shaped portion, that is, the predetermined insertion portions 22, 32 and the predetermined lateral swing portions 32, 33, and the first loop-shaped portion 5
It extends between a and 5b and the elastic yarn 3 and is knitted in the chain portion 11. Spandex is used as the elastic yarn 3, for example.

As described above, in the knitting lace 11 of still another embodiment of the present invention, the elastic yarn 12 and the handle yarn 4 are inserted through the second loop-shaped portions 22, 23, 32, 33, and the handle yarn 4 is Since the elastic yarn 12 and the first loop-shaped portions 21 and 31 are inserted and extended, the same effect as that of FIG. 1 can be obtained. In the knitting lace 11 according to another embodiment, since the knitting lace 11 expands and contracts in the wale direction W, the restraining portion of the handle thread 4 is close to the wale direction W, and the remaining relaxing portion is on the opposite side of the elastic yarn 3. That is, it projects and curves toward the front side of the knitted lace. This makes it possible to form a protruding portion that protrudes to one side in the thickness direction of the knitted lace. By forming the protruding portion, it is possible to form a knitted lace having a feeling of swelling. By raising the handle thread 4,
The thread can form a more dense part.

Further, in the handle yarn 4, the loosened portion, which is the remaining portion of the portion restrained with respect to the elastic yarn 12, projects to one side in the thickness direction, which is the surface side of the knitting lace, so that the protrusion of the handle thread 4 does not occur. It is possible to form a knitted lace that is formed with a substantially uniform protrusion amount and has a good feel to the touch. In addition, since the restraint portion is formed, the protruding portion of the handle yarn 4 does not rise significantly from the knitting lace as compared with the floating yarn, and is prevented from being caught by the nail and other protrusions. Therefore, yarn breakage due to catching, fraying due to yarn breakage, and fuzzing can be eliminated, and quality can be improved.

Further, the knitted lace 11 can be easily stretched to a high degree of elasticity without using a special thread and a special device by being knitted into a substantially power net structure. By using this for underwear, for example,
It can give you a strong sense of tension and make your body look slim and beautiful.

Further, not only the vertical direction, ie, the course direction C, but also the horizontal direction, ie, the wale direction W, can have elasticity. This makes it possible to obtain elasticity in any direction, and it can be effectively used as a product such as sportswear clothes, casual wear, and underwear that requires high elasticity. In addition, by knitting the above-described patterned yarn 4 into a substantially power net structure, a three-dimensional pattern can be formed in the knitted lace, and elasticity and elasticity can be obtained.

FIG. 7 is a sectional view showing a knitting lace manufacturing apparatus 15 for manufacturing the knitting lace 11 having the substantially power net structure of the present invention. The knitting lace manufacturing apparatus 15 includes three beams L1, L2, L3, a stand 17 on which the bobbin 16 for the patterned yarn is loaded, a knitting section 18, and a winding section 19. The knitting lace manufacturing apparatus 15 supplies the first warp yarn 20 and the second warp yarn 30, the elastic yarn 12 and the handle yarn 4 to the knitting unit 18, and the knitting unit 1 knits the knitting race 1. The knitted lace 11 is wound by the winding unit 19.

Further, the knitting lace manufacturing apparatus 15 includes the knitting section 43.
Three beams L1, L2, L3 and 1 so as to supply each yarn 20, 30, 12, 4 to a plurality of reeds arranged in
Two stands 17 are arranged. Knitting lace manufacturing equipment 15
Is a stand 17 for the handle thread on which the bobbin 16 for the handle thread is hung.
And to supply the handle yarn 4 to the reed for the handle tissue. Further, the knitting lace manufacturing apparatus 15 includes the first warp yarn 20 and the second warp yarn 30.
Has two warp beams L1 and L2 for accommodating yarn, adjusting the tension of the yarn, and supplying it to each reed. Further, the knitting lace manufacturing apparatus 15 is provided with an insertion yarn beam L3 for knitting the elastic yarn 12 having elasticity, and an appropriate tension is applied by the feed roller and the automatic control mechanism to appropriately feed the yarn. To do. Thus, each bobbin and each beam supply each yarn to each reed of the knitting part 18.

Each reed is overlapped (also referred to as stitch forming movement) and knitting needles which move in synchronization with the ascending / descending movement of the knitting needle on the front side of the knitting needle and thus on the hook portion forming side which is the rear B side of the knitting lace manufacturing apparatus 40. Performs under-lapping (also called insertion movement) to move behind.
In addition to these wrapping movements, a so-called swing (also referred to as swinging movement) is performed in which the knitting needles move in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which a plurality of knitting needles are arranged, that is, the knitting needle row. In the swing, swinging from the back of the knitting needle to the front is called a backswing, and swinging from the front of the knitting needle to the back is called a backswing. By such movements of the reeds and the knitting needles, the guides attached to the reeds pass between the knitting needle rows, so that each yarn is given a yarn feeding action to an accurate stitch forming position. Of the reeds, the first reed for the warp is the frontmost part A of the knitting lace manufacturing apparatus.
Next, a reed for the second warp, a reed for the stretchable yarn, and a reed for the handle yarn are arranged on the rear side B.

The knitting work of the loop-shaped portion 40 of the warp 20 proceeds in the order of (5). The knitting portion 18 includes a knitting needle 39, a tongue 37, and a trick plate 36. Knitting needle 39 for knitting each thread
Has a hook portion 39a for hooking each yarn on the tip end portion, and a knitting needle trunk 39b on the base end portion side. A tongue 37 is formed so as to close the opening formed in the knitting needle 39 by the hook portion 39a. The knitting needle 39 and the tongs 37 can be raised and lowered toward each reed. Since a loop is formed in the same manner as the first warp yarn 20 and the second warp yarn 30, the first warp yarn 20 will be described and the description of the loop formation of the second warp yarn 30 will be omitted.

The knitting cycle of the loop portion is first shown in FIG.
As shown in (1), the loop portion 40 of the warp 20 is locked by the hook portion 39a of the knitting needle 39, and the tongue 37

FIG. 9 (4) shows a knitted fabric in which the first warp 20, the second warp 30, the elastic yarn 12 and the handle yarn 4 are knitted. Each reed of the knitting lace manufacturing device 15 first feeds the first warp 20 and then the second warp 30 to the knitting needle,
Next, the elastic yarn 12 is fed, and then the handle yarn 4 is fed. Therefore, the knitting needle includes the first warp yarn 20, the second warp yarn 30,
The elastic yarn 12 and the handle yarn 4 are caught in this order. As a result, the elastic yarn 12 and the handle yarn 4 can be extended through the second loop-shaped portion, and the handle yarn 4 can be knitted so as to extend between the first loop-shaped portion and the elastic yarn 12.

One side in the thickness direction of the knitted lace knitted in this way. Therefore, by making the side on which the pattern thread 4 projects from the front side of the knitted lace 11, a substantially power net structure is provided, and the three-dimensional pattern is formed by the projecting portion. A knitted lace having a feeling can be formed.

According to the method for manufacturing a knitting lace of the present embodiment, it is possible to easily knit a substantially power net structure using the conventional knitting lace manufacturing apparatus 15. Stretchable yarn 12
By feeding the yarn to the knitting needle before the handle yarn 4, the handle yarn 4 can be arranged on one side in the thickness direction of the elastic yarn 12, that is, on the surface side, and the handle yarn 4 projects in one side in the thickness direction of the knitted fabric. A protrusion can be formed.

Since the knitting lace manufacturing apparatus 15 does not use the floating yarn, it has the floating yarn without requiring a special mechanism such as a reed and a fall plate for the floating yarn or a special knitting operation. You can get almost the same effect as. For example, since the fall plate is not used, the knitted lace manufacturing apparatus can increase the rotation speed of the drive source such as the cam without raising and lowering the fall plate and improve the productivity.

FIG. 10 shows still another knitted lace 5 of the present invention.
It is a knitting | organization organization chart which shows 0. The knitting lace 50 has almost the same structure as the knitting lace 11 shown in FIG. 5, and the description of the same structure will be omitted and the same reference numerals will be given. The knitting lace 50 differs from the knitting lace 11 shown in FIG. 5 in the direction in which the elastic yarn 51 passes through the second loop-shaped portion, and the other first warp yarn 20, the second warp yarn 30, and the handle yarn 4 are different. The knitting is similar to the knitting lace shown in FIG. The elastic yarn 51 is
It extends in the course direction C by inserting a predetermined second loop-shaped portion 6. The elastic yarn 3 is the intersection 1 of the second loop-shaped portion 6.
The second loop-shaped portions 6 are alternately inserted and extend from 0 to the intersection 9 of the first loop-shaped portions 5a. Even with such a structure, the same effect as that of the knitting lace 11 shown in FIG. 5 can be obtained, and it can be knitted by the knitting lace manufacturing apparatus 15 shown in FIG. 7.

The above description is merely one embodiment of the present invention, and the configuration may be changed within the scope of the invention. For example, in the present embodiment, the approximately power net design is knitted using the two warp yarns 20 and 30, but the stretch yarn 12 and the handle yarn 4 are knitted on the outer side in the thickness direction of the knitted fabric with respect to the stretch yarn 12. It is sufficient to form a chain stitch with warp yarns and knit a knitted fabric with jacquard yarns that connect the warp yarns, without substantially knitting the power net design. The knitted lace may be formed by other knitting structures. Further, the above-described substantially power net design is one example, and it is sufficient if the warp yarns are connected to each other in the wale direction and have elasticity in the wale direction W, whereby the handle yarn 4 is curved in the wale direction W. It is possible to form a projecting portion that projects on the surface of the knitting lace, thereby forming a knitting lace having a feeling of swelling.

The elastic yarn 12 and the handle yarn 4 do not need to be knitted into all wales 7, and may be knitted into a predetermined wale and a wale loop. Furthermore, the elastic yarn 5 may not only extend in the course direction, but may be laterally swung in the wale direction. Further, the stretchable yarn 5 only needs to have stretchability, and a covered yarn having the stretchable yarn 5 and a covering yarn for covering the stretchable yarn 5 may be used. As described above, the knitted lace design shown in the above-described present embodiment is merely an example, and the method of applying each thread, the tension balance, and the type of thread may be changed.

According to the present invention, the contact portion of the elastic yarn is
By setting one for each of the first loop-shaped portions, it is possible to reduce the portion that inhibits the expansion and contraction of the elastic yarn and increase the amount of expansion and contraction of the elastic yarn. When the elastic yarn is greatly expanded and contracted, the pattern yarns are closer to each other, and the pattern yarns can be densely arranged. By forming a dense portion of the pattern yarn, it is possible to clarify the difference between the knitted fabric part in which the pattern yarn is knitted and the knitted fabric part in which the pattern yarn is not knitted,
A clear pattern can be formed.

As the elastic yarn further expands and contracts, the portion of the warp that restrains the elastic yarn is brought closer to the course direction, and the remaining portion of the warp is curved convexly on the side opposite to the elastic yarn. Therefore, the handle yarn is connected to the warp yarn in a convexly curved state, and is arranged at a position protruding from the elastic yarn, that is, in a raised state. By arranging the handle threads in a raised manner, it is possible to form a knitted lace with a raised feel.

By displacing and bending the handle thread with the elastic thread in this way, the same effect as using the floating thread can be obtained without using the floating thread. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a feeling of excitement using the conventional reed without using the fall plate used for forming the float yarn and without performing a complicated knitting operation. Further, by omitting the floating yarn, the types of yarns formed on the knitted fabric can be reduced.

Further, according to the present invention, since a lace pattern can be formed having elasticity in multiple directions, it is possible to form a lace pattern on a fabric requiring more elasticity, and to use it. It is possible to form a knitted lace having a feeling of excitement.
