Description

  The present invention relates to a knitting sock having a finger bag part knitted by a flat knitting machine, and a knitting method thereof.

  When knitting a sock having a finger bag portion with a flat knitting machine, each of the left and right end portions of the sock, which is a portion knitted with a knitting yarn straddling between the needle beds before and after the flat knitting machine, The socks knitted in the “eclectic” part have a characteristic that the two sides are naturally overlapped. This is because the part knitted with the knitting yarn straddling between the front and back needle beds is knitted with a larger tension than the other parts (parts knitted by the knitting needle group of each needle bed), This is because the knitting yarn stretched between the needle beds is knitted in a state where the knitting yarn is pulled, and a knitted product in which the front and back sides can be identified is knitted due to the presence of “folding” (this is the identification of the front and back sides). This is very different from a knitted product with a circular knitting machine that cannot be used).

  For this reason, for example, in the socks of five fingers as shown in Patent Document 1, each of the five finger pouches is formed with “folds” at both ends in the width direction, and is not used. In this case, the front and back sides become two layers. As for the knitting under the socks, the remaining body parts (main body parts) are knitted after sequentially knitting the five finger bag parts as will be described later. In addition, the knitting of each finger pouch portion sequentially increases the number of “knitting” in one lap from the start of knitting so as to have a roundness corresponding to the shape of the fingertip of the person's foot, and thereafter, the “knitting” of one lap. It is organized with a constant number. For this reason, on both sides of the leading end that is the knitting start end of each finger bag part, a portion where the mesh has been condensed due to the increase (increase) in the mesh is formed in substantially the same part as the “eclectic”, Due to the condensing part of the mesh, the “eclectic” becomes even stronger.

For this reason, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), the conventional socks S ′ having finger pouch portions knitted by a flat knitting machine have front and back portions due to the “folding” of each finger pouch portion 21. Since they overlap each other, there is a problem that it is difficult for the tip of each finger F of the human foot L to be caught between the adjacent finger bag portions 21 when the socks are put on. In addition, in FIG. 11 (b), 22 shows the trunk | drum of socks S '.
JP-A-11-286802

  An object of the present invention is to make it easier to insert each finger of a human body foot into a finger bag part under the sock in a knitted sock having a finger bag part, and to improve wear comfort.

  The invention of claim 1 for solving the above-mentioned problem is a knitting sock having a finger pouch portion knitted by a flat knitting machine, wherein the tip closure portion of the finger pouch portion is a knitting start end portion. In the non-use state under the socks, it is characterized in that it is arranged in a portion excluding both ends in the width direction so that an opening is formed between the finger bag portion and the body portion connected to the finger bag portion. According to the first aspect of the present invention, the folds are formed in portions other than both ends in the width direction so that an opening is formed between the finger bag portion and the trunk portion connected to the finger bag portion in a non-use state under the socks. Compared to the state in which the folds are arranged at both ends in the width direction of the finger pouch portion and the front and back are overlapped, the toes can be smoothly inserted through the opening, Wear comfort is improved.

  The invention of claim 2 is characterized in that, in the invention of claim 1, the signature is disposed at a substantially central portion in the width direction of the finger pouch portion. According to invention of Claim 2, since the signature is arrange | positioned in the center part of the width direction of a finger bag part, a finger bag part hold | maintains the most three-dimensional shape in the non-use state of socks. For this reason, the opening formed in the connection part of a finger-bag part and a trunk | drum is the largest, and the comfortability of socks is further improved.

  The invention of claim 3 is characterized in that, in the invention of claim 1 or 2, the sock has five finger bag portions. Since socks having five finger pouch portions are most difficult to wear, when the present invention is carried out on socks having five finger pouch portions, the comfort of socks increases sharply.

  The invention of claim 4 is a method of knitting the trunk after knitting the finger pouch portion and knitting the knitting socks according to any one of claims 1 to 3 with a flat knitting machine, wherein the finger pouch portion After the knitting is completed, the front and back needle beds provided with a large number of knitting needles are moved to the left and right, and the knitting yarn at the knitting end of the looped finger bag portion is sequentially transferred to the other needle bed. Transferring to a knitting needle, turning the finger bag part by a predetermined angle, the fold is shifted to a position excluding both ends of the finger bag part, and then the body part is knitted. Yes.

  According to the invention of claim 4, for example, in the knitting of the socks having five finger pouch portions, when the finger pouch portion is knitted from the thumb to the little finger, the fold is placed on the thumb as described above. After turning the finger bag part by a predetermined angle in the width direction, the finger bag part is suspended from the knitting needle group provided in each needle bed of the flat knitting machine with the opening of the thumb finger bag part facing up. Next, after knitting the finger pouch portion next to the thumb, similarly, after shifting the signature in the width direction of the thumb pouch portion, the connection portion between the two adjacent finger pouch portions is knitted (this The knitting is connected (referred to as “finger or lap”), and the finger bag portion of the connected thumb and the adjacent finger is suspended from the knitting needle group with the opening facing upward. Thereafter, after the remaining three finger pouch portions are knitted in the same manner and then the body portion is knitted, the folds of the tip closing portion, which is the knitting start end of each finger pouch portion, are each in the width of each finger pouch portion. The socks that are arranged in the direction and are in a standing posture are knitted. For this reason, the socks according to the present invention can be knitted using an existing flat knitting machine.

  Here, after the knitting of the finger pouch portion, when the turning angle of the finger pouch portion is approximately 90 °, a signature is placed in the center in the width direction of the finger pouch portion, and the finger pouch portion and the trunk portion The opening of the connecting portion becomes large, and the comfort of wearing socks is enhanced.

  In the knitted socks according to the present invention, since the folds of the tip closing portions of the finger bag portions are arranged shifted in the width direction of the finger bag portions, the finger bag portions and the trunk portion in the non-use state of the socks An opening through which a toe can be smoothly inserted is formed in the connecting portion. For this reason, when putting on the socks, it becomes easy to insert the toes of the human body through the opening into the finger pouch portion, and the comfort of putting on the socks is enhanced.

  Further, the knitting method for the knitting socks according to the present invention uses the existing flat knitting machine having a pair of needle beds opposed to each other in the front and back, and after the knitting of the finger bag portion of the socks is completed, the knitting needles of each needle bed By changing the position of the knitting yarn with respect to the finger bag and turning the finger bag part by a predetermined angle, the folds of the tip closing part of the finger bag part are shifted and arranged in the width direction so that the folds become the finger. The knitting under the knitting socks in which the finger bag portion is in the standing posture is possible by being shifted in the width direction of the bag portion.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to a plurality of best examples.

First, explaining the socks S ₁ of the first embodiment of the present invention together with the knitting method. As shown in FIG. 1, the flat knitting machine has a mountain shape (reverse V) so that a pair of front needle bed FN and back needle bed BN are opposed to each other and the central portion in the front-rear direction is raised. Tens of knitting needle groups are inserted into the front and rear needle beds FN and BN, respectively, and the knitting needles move up and down in a high cycle along the inclination direction of the bed. Each needle bed FN, BN of this flat knitting machine is provided with a needle selection drum device, and a device for selecting a knitting needle to be operated among a group of a plurality of knitting needles provided in each needle bed FN, BN. It is. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the knitting of each finger pouch portion in a sock with five finger pouch portions, as shown in FIG. 2, from the right side to the left side of each needle bed FN, BN, respectively, A predetermined number of continuous knitting needles of each part indicated by C, D, and E are selected, and only the specific predetermined number of knitting needles are selected from the thumb toward the little finger, for example, for the five finger bag portions. Are organized sequentially. In addition, in FIG. 2, although each site | part shown by AE of each needle bed FN and BN is continuously displayed by the relationship of illustration, it selected in order to knitting each finger bag part adjacent to each other A plurality of knitting needles (selected knitting needle groups) are shared by several adjacent portions of each selected knitting needle group in order to perform “finger or overlap” described later.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4, a case where the finger pouch portion 1 of the sock thumb is knitted by using a plurality of knitting needles N of “1” to “7” of the needle beds FN and BN. explain. In addition, in FIG. 4, each number surrounded by a circle and a square indicates a portion knitted by each knitting needle N of each of the front and back needle beds FN and BN at the knitting end portion of the finger pouch portion 1 (also together) The position of the knitting needle itself may be illustrated). FIG. 4 (a) shows a state in which the knitting of the thumb pouch portion 1 is completed by the knitting needle group N selected from the needle beds FN and BN, and as shown in FIG. The opening end portion (knitting end portion) is supported and hung by a plurality of knitting needle groups N facing each needle bed FN, BN with the opening facing upward.

  After the knitting of the finger pouch portion 1 in FIG. 4 (a), the portions knitted by the respective knitting needles N of the needle beds FN and BN are opposed to each other (the numbers in the circle and the square are “Coincidence” is attached to a portion indicated by “K” knitted with a knitting yarn straddling between the needle beds FN and BN. In this state, after the back needle bed BN is moved leftward (in the direction of arrow Q) by one pitch P of the knitting needle N [FIG. 4 (B)], the rightmost knitting needle in the working knitting needle group of the front needle bed FN. The portion “1” knitted in step (1) is transferred to the opposing knitting needles of the back needle bed BN, and the portion indicated by “7” knitted with the knitting needle at the left end of the group of working knitting needles of the back needle bed BN is When the needle needle FN is moved to the opposite knitting needle [FIG. 4 (C)], and then the back needle bed BN is moved to the left (arrow Q direction) by one pitch P of the knitting needle N, FIG. As shown, the finger bag 1 after knitting is turned counterclockwise by one pitch P of the knitting needle N as viewed from above. 4 and 6, Y indicates a knitting yarn at the knitting end portion of each finger bag portion 1-5.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4E, all the knitting end portions of the finger bag portion 1 supported by the knitting needles N of the back needle bed BN are transferred to the knitting needles N of the front needle bed FN. Temporarily supported, the back needle bed BN is moved rightwardly (in the direction of the arrow R) by twice (2P) the pitch P of the knitting needle N (FIG. 4F), and then the front needle bed FN The knitting end portion of the finger bag portion 1 that has been transferred to and temporarily supported is returned to and supported by the knitting needles N of the back needle bed BN [FIG. 4 (G)]. As a result, the knitting end portion of the finger bag portion 1 is rotated counterclockwise by one pitch P of the knitting needle N, and the entire knitting end portion is leftward (arrow Q direction) by one pitch P of the knitting needle N. As a result, only one knitting needle group supporting the knitting end portion of the finger pouch portion 1 is shifted to the left (in the direction of the arrow Q). Hereinafter, an operation of turning the knitting end portion of the finger bag portion 1 counterclockwise by one pitch P of the knitting needle N is referred to as a “turning operation”.

  Thereafter, when exactly the same “turning operation” is performed twice, when the knitting of the finger pouch portion 1 is completed, as shown in FIGS. The portions having no “eclectic” (each portion indicated by the numeral “4”) are arranged at both end portions in the width direction by turning the finger pouch portion 1 approximately 90 ° counterclockwise. As a result, the “folder K” of the finger pouch portion 1 is arranged at the center in the width direction. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram for explaining the position of the knitting needle group of each needle bed FN, BN and that the finger pouch portion 1 is shifted leftward (in the direction of arrow Q) by the number of times of the “turning operation”. As is apparent from FIG. 5, when the finger pouch portion 1 is turned approximately 90 ° counterclockwise, the finger pouch portion 1 is moved in the left direction (Q direction) by the number of times of the “rotating operation”. However, the opposing relationship between the knitting needle groups of the needle beds FN and BN is maintained (the arrangement of the pair of opposing knitting needles is not changed).

  FIG. 6 is a knitting process diagram of socks according to the present invention, wherein (b) and (b) are the respective processes of knitting the thumb bag 1 described above. After knitting the thumb pouch portion 1, the finger pouch portion 1 is supported by the inactive knitting needle groups of the needle beds FN and BN and suspended, and the knitting of another adjacent finger pouch portion 2 is performed as described above. Perform in the same way. In this case, if the “folder” is arranged at the center in the width direction of the finger pouch portion 2, the finger pouch portion 2 is shifted leftward (Q direction) by the number of times of the “rotating operation” described above. The selection of the working knitting needle group necessary for the knitting of the bag portion 2 needs to be performed in consideration of this “deviation” (specifically, the knitting needle group at the start of knitting has the right side corresponding to the “deviation”). Need to select a knitting needle group). FIGS. 6C and 6D are schematic diagrams before and after the “turning operation” of the finger pouch portion 2, respectively.

  Further, since the finger pouch portion 2 is separated from the finger pouch portion 1 at the end of the knitting, a plurality of knitting needles N shared among the knitting needle groups knitting each finger pouch portion 1, 2 are used, Of the open ends of the finger bag portions 1 and 2, “finger or stacking” is performed in which the portions to be connected to each other are knitted and connected [FIG. 6 (e)]. In FIG. 6 (e), J indicates the “finger or overlapping portion” of the thumb and each adjacent finger bag portion.

Thereafter, in exactly the same manner, as shown in FIG. 6 (f), the above "turning operation" is performed, and the knitting of each of the remaining three finger bag portions 3, 4 and 5 is performed with a specific knitting needle group.
