DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

  Description will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In some embodiments, the present invention takes advantage of the teaching of Italian Patent No. 1,255,008, which has mainly features as described above. Unlike the prior art, usually some of the impulses or commands leading the needle are not delivered to that part of the needle according to a predetermined layout or program adapted to the original design. This excludes needles that do not send inputs or commands from the stitch forming process. Such exclusion results in floating yarn FF instead of stitch M in the whole and in a predetermined area (FIG. 7).

It was located at a reasonable distance for the dual purpose of reducing the length of this float and, if necessary, of weaving interesting stitches or forming three-dimensional inward frills or flounces Bi. The float yarn FF is further operated by using a plurality of knitting needles ((A) of FIG. 8). Thus, also the present invention further operates the abovementioned floats FF to
This is achieved by deforming the stitches formed only by some of the needles in complex areas or zones. For example, only the same needles or alternating pairs of needles are excluded, such as a group of three knitting needles followed by one or more excluded needles.

As shown in FIG. 9 (corresponding to a large number of stitch courses), alternating with excluded needles in a given region and / or for a relatively long time, as in FIG. 8 (A). That the knitting needles are present at the same time is formed by the knitting needles and the loop AD associated therewith, but as shown in FIG. Formation of the original knitted fabric formed by the associated loops and knitting needles which are woven and reduced by the excluded needles and loops AP to form a closed knit flounce Bi consisting of layers or knits. Is a sufficient and necessary situation for. The formation of the auxiliary stitches or the frills Bi is a knit of the needle AP excluded from the above-mentioned frill formation, which is variable and repeatable in the front part of the knitted fabric and thus in the height and length described above, or It features a perfect suture formed by the extension of the loop. To emphasize the comfort and support of the human body and to improve the normal appearance of the jersey knit, the three-dimensional ruffle Bi has a small repeating beveled pattern, which is particularly attractive. .

The features of the invention, and the advantages which result from them, can be readily apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments by way of example and are effectively adaptable to most circular knitting machines. According to the present invention, these effects are easily achieved. For the sake of illustration only,
Without limitation, most of the explanations are for "full electronic" type machines (eg, Santoni model SM8 top machine).
). The present invention provides a conventional graphics station or control or storage device, or electromechanical, magnet, optical device, and other means suitable for such purposes.
It is first performed by setting up work cycles and jacquard weave design, ie, information sent or not to needles and jacks or other members that directly or indirectly assist in forming the fabric. Thus, FIG.
The knitting cylinder of the double edge 2A can be obtained by using a plateau hook (not shown) and continuously selecting alternate needles such as odd number needles or all knitting needles. Begins.

After completing the above-mentioned double edge, either by releasing the hook of the dial or by stitching stitches whose work is started with pre-excluded needles, for example even-numbered needles, the formation of the knitted fabric is , Region 30 characterized by a knit structure that can be improved so that the knitted fabric does not unravel (FIGS. 13-14). Thus, as shown in FIG. 23, the line A or the opening 5-of FIG. 3 and FIG.
The automatic release or ejection of loop B, stitched along 5A, follows a preliminary step which produces a possible automatic deformation of the stitch density using a suitable additional thread of elasticity or heat tack. During the subsequent finishing process, the latter follows a partial melt interlacing operation into adjacent loops.

Thus, depending on a number of factors, such as need or technical or knitted fabric, the release or ejection of some of the individual loops or needles from the stitch is performed. First
In one embodiment, when the machine and work cycle are set to the “zero” position,
The hook U of the needle A, with all supply and clasps excluded and the last loop B connected, is preferably located below the working surface of the sinker. After this preparatory step (not shown), in principle only the grouped and proximate programmed needles are fed to the rear cam with a single threadless feed for complete lifting.

Reaching the maximum height of the needle described above leads to two important effects: the entire latch of the needle is automatically opened and located above the last loop. Further, the needle and the sinker are subsequently connected. Subsequent steps with the same needle lowering are shown in FIGS. 24-25-26. The needle A begins to descend, supporting the needle stem, and the last loop B inserted under the latch L begins to automatically and gradually close the latch (FIG. 25).
The fully closed latch L functions as a "bridge" for the same loop B, which is definitively removed, as in FIG. In this process, sinker P
Simultaneously with the downward movement of the needle A, the needle gradually moves backward in the radial direction according to the arrow F. The loop B is gradually ejected from the intricate needle to form a continuous horizontal opening in the course of the stitch tube. Then, here, the knit of the knitted fabric is coupled only to a part of the cylinder needle, and the needle that is temporarily released from the stitch or loop and released needs to restart the forming process.

According to the invention, such needles are selected, for example 1: 3 (one knitting needle and three exclusions) until all the needles carrying the new thread are gradually raised. Needle) or according to a defined sequence such as 1: 1 and is gradually redirected to at least the rear cam. During the ascending, the needle A with the latches A closed finds the latch opener device AL in the requisite passage for forcing them to open. The predetermined process is schematically shown in FIG. The latch L is still against the hook U. The metal latch opening tip AL is automatically located inside the hook U until the latch L is opened and flipped in the direction of arrow F.

FIG. 28 is a plan view of a part of the cylinder CYL that rotates in the direction of arrow F. The hook U attached to the latch L finds the latch opener AL inserted for such a purpose in the obligated ascent path. The method for forming the stitch is such that after mechanical or pneumatic member intervention functions as a latch opener (in other embodiments, a suitable blast of compressed air from above, or hook and tab or other means). The latch is opened by a thin foil that can be inserted between the two), depending on the product to be formed, restarted by a single or double edge or welt, ie a single or double knitted fabric.

In accordance with the present invention, an automatic and programmed reduction of the stitch forming process of a portion of a cylinder needle in a given area or region of stitch is accomplished by stitching preferably the same needle in a given stitch area. Subsequent to the automatic and programmed reduction of the process results in an overall and controlled separation of at least two theoretically continuous stitch courses. In this separation, the latter is characterized by the last row of stitches being formed and the second by the interruptions described above, preferably the first row of stitches formed by the same needle. is there.

For the purposes of the present invention, only a portion of the needle contained in the rotating cylinder is
It is designed to release or eject each last stitch loop. Following the work cycle and drawing set-up of the jacquard weave, the needles are programmed to work on a group-by-group basis, i.e. with a variety of adjacent needles that are directly related to the amplitude of the envisioned opening. FIG. 4 shows in particular an enlarged view of FIG. The first elastic double edge (11) is indicated by reference numeral 2a. 5a shows the formed opening. At the edges 8, 9 of the stitches close to the opening, a normal needle or a plateau hook selected for purpose is used, or a part of the cylinder needle, for example the same needle AP, holds the last loop in each case. Using the odd numbered needles AD of FIG. 8A, which continue to form the interstitch, are obtained in various ways, similar to the edge 20A, and provided with a double-layered edge 10. As a result, the inward frill Bi (((
A)), or a stitch having a three-dimensional length in which the amplitude and height can be widely adjusted diagonally. The double welt DB according to the present invention shown in FIG.
While forming the welt, before the final closure or stitching, it is possible to be padded inside by inserting additional threads Y which are fed between the two layers and woven in various patterns. It is possible. Alternatively, the inner pad can be obtained by the effect of a three-dimensional stitch, such as a terry cloth, or by the formation of frills Bi located in repeated double welt DBs as shown in FIG. 31 and described above. To be

The tubular knitwear product 1 of FIG. 5, such as a T-shirt, teddy or single bra, is bonded only to match the central portion Y (as well as the rear portion, not shown) described above. A heavy edge 2A is provided. According to the present invention, the edge 2A
Are removed or separated by two automatically formed loops, opened laterally and lifted according to the arrows F1, F2, assuming the role and shape of the shoulder strap 20-21. Reference symbol DB indicates a double edge created after the formation of the brace 20. The stitch areas, designated as 11-13-14, are formed to have different knit structures. According to current needs and variables, one of the structures is
Is shown in.

In particular, the central region 12 is structurally and functionally connected to the upper Y or other adjacent region of the braces 20, 21 and in various ways and by or in relation to each other, the chest region Can be supported. In another preferred embodiment, such as FIG. 6, the knitwear product 1 comprises a double elastic edge 2a and a double edge DB provided with a lateral edge 5-5a formed according to the invention. 3 shows a panty formed from a tubular knitted fabric having openings 3. Also, in such a situation, the bottom stitch is formed to have a different knit structure in addition to the openwork T obtained by the technique described above.

The present invention provides the product of FIG. The torso bra 1 and skirt 2 are characterized by one or more upper shoulder straps or support braces 20-21, or lateral loops 22 that coincide with lower openings 22A corresponding to the hips. Furthermore,
The knitted fabric of the above-mentioned product is formed with a plurality of or overall tuck stitches as shown in FIGS. 10-11-12-13 or welt knitting as shown in FIGS. ) -8 (B) -8 (C) -9 internal knit flounce Bi

FIG. 19 shows a panty sewn in relation to S, having another double edge or border DB and provided with an elastic upper edge 2a which is divided into two parts at the hip. The central watermarked portion T is further characterized by the flounce of the region Bi. FIG. 20A shows another knitwear product within the scope of the present invention. The tubular product 1 is provided with shoulder straps or braces 20-21 obtained according to the present invention and at least a double edge DB, and is preferably a tubular addition sewn corresponding to the sewing line S-S2. A typical sleeve M1-M2. Alternatively, such a sleeve is provided with two double edges. One of the double edges is sewn on the outside of the shoulder strap or brace. Thus, a substantially uncut single annular seam and derivative scrap results in a finished product with no longitudinal or visible seams. FIG. 20 (B) schematically shows the tubular product 1 provided with the upper edge and the lower edge DB. An upper knit area MS is formed subsequent to the lower knit area MI, in which the openwork weave T ending in front of the elastic edge BE in the central position is formed. In relation to the parallel and proximate lateral line A facing the edge DB mentioned above, the loop is released, forming the shoulder strap-the brace mentioned above.

Subsequently, the lower MI is housed in the upper MS and, as a result, the knitwear product is formed by two coaxial knitted fabrics, with various numbers of shoulder straps or braces (
20 (C) is provided. Alternatively, the shoulder strap 20-21 and the lower elastic edge BE are formed, and the unique effect of the openwork knit is given to the bottom stitch where the thread, color, or weave is substantially changed in order to obtain a contrast effect. An overlaid knitwear product is formed. Another application of the invention is shown schematically in FIG. Knitwear products 1
, Undifferentiated socks, or technical products or other products are provided with a single loop or double upper edge DB, or at least 2 instead of the usual elastic edges, as in FIG. Two support braces are provided.
