Description

  The present invention relates to a yarn end cleaning method for knitting that can be easily performed by people with presbyopia or amblyopia, and a binding needle used therefor.

  The yarn thread of the knitting yarn bottom (hereinafter referred to as “yarn butt”) is unsightly as it is, and if it is cut too short, the stitches will be broken and a hole will be opened in the knitted fabric. Therefore, it is necessary to make the yarn bottom the minimum necessary length, and this yarn bottom is arranged so as not to be unsightly by being drawn into the stitch.

  As shown in FIG. 3 (a), the thread tail is moved by folding the thread tail W on the ear portion 24 of the binding needle 20 and sliding it in the direction of the arrow. The yarn bottom W was passed through the ear canal 25 in the manner shown in FIG. 5B in the state where the heels were put on (the yarn fibers were aligned). However, this method requires a certain skill and requires presbyopia and It is a painful and difficult task for people with low vision.

  As a solution to the above problem, it is conceivable to use a Bella needle, which is a part of a flat knitting machine or a milling knitting machine, but this Bella needle is very delicate and does not fit in the field of handcraft such as hand knitting. .

  In addition, when looking at a general binding needle, the width of the ear part is forged to make it easier to pass the wool through the ear hole, the width is increased, and the ear hole is provided in that part, which increases the manufacturing cost. Since the width of the ear portion is wide, there are problems such that it is difficult to pass through the stitches at the end of the yarn end, and the strength is lowered by increasing the size of the ear hole.

  Further, as a binding needle that makes it easy to pass the yarn, the one disclosed in Patent Document 1 is proposed. In this proposal, it is easy to pass the thread bottom through the ear hole, but it is difficult to pull the binding needle into the stitch. There are problems such as spreading the stitches.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-60132 (Claims and FIG. 1)

  In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method that makes it easy to pass the yarn bottom through the ear hole of the binding needle and that can easily draw the yarn bottom into the stitch, and a binding needle used therefor. To do.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention relates to a method for cleaning the bottom end of a knitted yarn by pulling a finished yarn bottom W into a stitch N to prepare a knitted surface. Direction, and when the binding needle 10 formed with the inclined slit 16 reaching the ear hole 15 is inserted into or extracted from the stitch N, the thread tail W to be terminated is inserted into the ear hole 15 through the inclined slit 16. The entrance of the inclined slit 16 is opened to a size that can receive the thread tail W, and the binding needle 10 is used as a minute gap through which the thread tail W can be pressed and passed between the innermost opposing surfaces of the inclined slit 16. Further, it is possible to use the binding needle 10 in which the outer width of the ear portion 14 of the binding needle 10 is equal to the outer diameter of the binding needle body, and the ear portion 14 is provided with an ear hole 15. Further, in a state where the binding needle 10 is inserted into the stitch N close to the yarn bottom W of the finished knitting, the yarn bottom W of the knitted fabric is introduced into the ear hole 15 through the inclined slit 16 of the binding needle 10 and the binding needle. If 10 is passed through the stitch N, it is convenient to clean up a large number of yarn bottoms W.

  Further, the binding needle 10 used in the above method has a tip 11 having a hemispherical shape, and a hemispherical portion followed by a loosely tapered portion 12, and a parallel portion 13 having a constant length. An ear portion 14 having the same width is formed at the other end of 13, an ear hole 15 is formed in the ear portion 14, and an inclined slit 16 is formed from the outer side 14 a of the ear portion 14 in the needle tip direction to the ear hole. Further, the entrance of the inclined slit 16 is opened to a size that can receive the thread tail, and the thread bottom W is pressed between the innermost opposing surfaces of the inclined slit 16 so that the thread tail W can pass therethrough. It can be a gap.

  According to the present invention configured as described above, the yarn bottom can be easily passed through the ear hole of the binding needle, and the binding needle can be easily inserted into the stitch of the knitting, so that the yarn bottom can be easily and beautifully drawn into the stitch. Can do. In particular, in a knitted fabric that is knitted into a pattern by using different colors of wool, it is difficult to clean up many yarn ends, but according to the present invention, an inclined slit is inserted while inserting the above-mentioned binding needle into the stitch close to the yarn end. After that, the yarn end can be removed simply by introducing the yarn end into the ear canal and passing the binding needle through the stitch.

  In addition, forging in the manufacturing process of the binding needle is no longer necessary, leading to a reduction in manufacturing cost, and smoothing of the thread end can be performed and the strength of the binding needle is increased.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1 (a), the binding needle 10 has a hemispherical tip portion 11, a hemispherical tip portion 11 followed by a loosely tapered portion 12, and then parallel to a fixed length. An ear portion 14 is formed with a portion 13, and an ear hole 15 is opened in the ear portion 14. In addition, the part which moves to the taper part from the said hemispherical part 11 and the taper part 12 to the parallel part 13 has a corner | angular part, becomes smooth, and has improved the slip of the yarn.

  The ear part 14 is formed with an inclined slit 16 extending from the outer side 14 a to the ear tip 15 and reaching the ear hole 15, and the thread tail W is slid into the ear hole 15 through the inclined slit 16. As shown in FIG. 1 (c), the inclined slit 16 has a gap 16a sufficient for the yarn bottom W to slide into the entrance of the inclined slit 16, and the gap on the farthest opposite surface is the yarn bottom W. When the thread tail W is slid into the fine gap 16b that can be pressed and passed, the inner tip 17 can be bent to easily enter the thread tail, and the thread tail W can be prevented from easily coming off. .

  In the above-described embodiment, the ear portion 14 of the binding needle 10 is forged and widened, and the ear hole 15 and the inclined slit 16 are provided in that portion. Therefore, it is not necessary to widen the end of the binding needle 10 by forging, and the ear hole 15 may be narrow.

  In order to draw the yarn tail W into the stitch N using the binding needle 10, the yarn tail W is slid in the direction of the arrow along the ear portion 14 as shown in FIG. Slide in. When the binding needle 10 is inserted into and pulled out from the knitting stitch N as shown in FIG. 2 in this state, the yarn tail W is drawn into the stitch N and cleaned cleanly.

  In particular, in a knitted fabric that is knitted into a pattern by using different colors of wool, it is difficult to clean up, but according to the present invention, the stitches close to the yarn bottom are inserted into the stitches while passing through the inclined slits. By simply introducing the yarn end into the ear canal and passing the binding needle through the stitch, the yarn end can be terminated.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it has become possible for a person with presbyopia or amblyopia to easily remove the yarn at the yarn end. In addition, forging in the manufacturing process of the binding needle is no longer necessary, leading to a reduction in manufacturing cost, smoothing of the needle at the time of cleaning, and an increase in the strength of the binding needle.
