Description

  The present invention relates to a sock and a method for manufacturing the same, and more specifically, a non-rectangular partial pile knitted fabric portion can be formed on the sock.

  Conventionally, many socks provided with a pile knitted fabric portion have been provided. For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-63722 (Patent Document 1), as shown in FIG. 5, there is a sock 1 in which a pile knitted fabric portion is provided in a region 2 on the entire bottom surface and a back surface portion from the heel to the height of the ankle. Proposed. By providing the pile knitted fabric portion in the region 2, it is possible to prevent the sock from being easily displaced during wearing, and to improve air permeability, flexibility, and shock buffering properties.

  However, socks with a wide pile knitted fabric part are more voluminous than non-pile socks and tend to feel cramped when wearing shoes, so the pile knitted part is part of the sole or heel, etc. There are many that are provided. On the other hand, when knitting a sock with a pile knitted fabric portion with a normal sock knitting machine, the pile knitted fabric portion is formed by the surface yarn forming the ground portion due to the characteristics of the knitting machine. When the portion is partially provided, the pile knitted fabric portion can be knitted only in the same rectangular shape as the base. However, there are many cases where it is preferable to knitting a partial pile knitted fabric part with the minimum size and shape necessary for socks from the viewpoint of wearing feeling, function, etc., and a partial pile knitted fabric that can be knitted only in a rectangular shape In the department, there is a problem that such a request cannot be sufficiently met.

JP 2007-63722 A

  This invention is made | formed in view of the said problem, and makes it a subject to enable non-rectangular partial pile knitted fabric part to be formed in a sock.

In order to solve the above problems, the first invention includes a ground portion knitted with a front yarn and a back yarn,
A non-rectangular partial pile knitted fabric part in which a pile is knitted on the surface of the ground part with an additional thread knitted in the ground part;
Socks that are characterized by having

According to the above configuration, the pile of the partial pile knitted fabric portion is knitted with the addition yarn knitted in the ground portion instead of the surface yarn forming the ground portion, so the pile knitting range by the addition yarn is a base shape. Any shape can be used regardless. That is, if the shape of the part pile knitted fabric formed by knitting the pile by knitting the additional yarn into the non-pile gland formed by knitting the front yarn and the back yarn is only rectangular. It is possible to form a non-rectangular shape.
Moreover, the cushioning property of the whole partial pile knitted fabric part can also be improved by knitting a pile with the additional thread knitted in the said ground part.

  In the case of a Rosso type sock, it is preferable that the ground portion is provided by knitting two yarns of the front yarn and the back yarn as a back yarn.

  In the case of Rosso type socks in which the toes and heels are knitted by half-reciprocating movement of the cylinder of the sock knitting machine, usually the ground part is knitted with the front yarn and the pile is also knitted with the front yarn. There is a problem that the shape of the partial pile knitted fabric portion in which the pile is knitted with the front yarn is limited to the same rectangular shape as the base. However, as described above, the front yarn and the back yarn to be knitted are fed as “back yarn”, and if the ground portion is knitted only with the back yarn, the sock knitting machine recognizes and changes the ground portion. The pile can be knitted with the additional yarn knitted into the fabric. That is, a non-rectangular partial pile knitted fabric portion can be provided in the sock.

  On the other hand, in the case of fish mouth type socks that eliminate the half-reciprocal rotation of the toe and perform toe sewing with an overlock sewing machine, there are no restrictions on the mechanical properties as described above, A non-rectangular partial pile knitted fabric portion is formed by supplying yarn as "front yarn" and "back yarn" and knitting a ground portion with knitting spliced yarn and knitting a pile by adding additional yarn to the ground portion. Can be provided in the socks.

  Preferably, the partial pile knitted fabric portion has a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or an oval shape, and the peripheral edge of the partial pile knitted fabric portion is cut on the inner side that is the skin side.

The partial pile knitted fabric part is desired to have a minimum size and shape so as not to feel a tight feeling. Therefore, the shape of the partial pile knitted fabric part is appropriately selected from circular, elliptical, oval, etc., as described above, in accordance with the shape of the sole or heel to be covered and protected by the partial pile knitted fabric part. It is preferable to do.
Further, the portion that becomes the partial pile knitted fabric portion is knitted with the additional yarn to knit the pile within a predetermined range, while the portion that does not become the partial pile knitted fabric portion is left in the floating yarn state without knitting the additional yarn. The partial pile knitted fabric part having the above-mentioned shape is knitted while repeating knitting and non-knitting in such a predetermined range, but finally the additional yarn is cut at the peripheral edge of the partial pile knitted fabric part as described above. By removing the non-knitted floating yarn portion, it is possible to form a partially piled knitted fabric portion having a uniform shape.
Further, the partial pile knitted fabric portion is provided on the inner peripheral surface on the skin side, and the additional yarn is cut on the inner peripheral surface of the skin side, so that the skin is comfortably maintained and looks good by the pile knitted fabric portion. Can also do well.

  The partial pile knitted fabric portion is preferably provided on at least one of the front sole portion and the upper heel portion.

As described above, by providing the partial pile knitted fabric part at the front part of the sole, that is, the part from the tip of the arch to the base of the toe, the cushioning property of the most tiring part of the sole is enhanced and comfortable. Can be realized.
Further, by providing the pile knitted fabric portion at the upper portion of the heel, that is, the portion from the ankle to the heel, it is possible to prevent the shoe from being rubbed and the shoe being easily removed.

As the front yarn for knitting the ground portion, for example, cotton yarn, wool yarn, hemp yarn, blended yarn or the like can be used, and as the back yarn, for example, FTY yarn, bulky processed yarn or the like can be used. In addition, cotton yarn, wool yarn, bulky processed yarn, or the like can be used as the additional yarn that is knitted into the ground portion and knits the pile. By changing the material of the additional thread, it is also possible to exhibit different functions according to the season, such as sweat absorption, temperature control and humidity control, and far-red heat generation.
The present invention can be applied to high socks, and can be particularly preferably used for sports socks.

A second invention is a method of manufacturing the Rosso-type socks,
The front yarn feeder and the back yarn feeder are arranged adjacent to each other in the same plate for the back yarn,
While feeding the front yarn and the back yarn from the adjacent yarn feeder, knitting the ground portion with splicing yarn,
In a required position, feed the additional yarn from the yarn feeder for the additional yarn, knit the additional yarn into the ground portion, knitting a pile on the surface of the ground portion with the additional yarn, A sock manufacturing method characterized by forming a partially pile knitted fabric portion is provided.

  In the case of Rosso-type socks, as described above, the sock knitting machine recognizes that the ground portion is usually knitted with the front yarn and the pile is also knitted with the front yarn, and the pile is knitted with the front yarn. There exists a problem that the shape of a partial pile knitted fabric part will be restrict | limited to the same rectangular shape as a base. However, according to the second invention, the yarn feeder for the front yarn and the yarn feeder for the back yarn are arranged adjacent to each other in the same plate for the back yarn, and the front yarn and the back yarn are fed from the adjacent yarn feeder. Thus, if the front yarn and the back yarn are fed as “back yarn”, and the ground portion is knitted only with the back yarn, the sock knitting machine can recognize and change it. This makes it possible to knitting the pile with the additional yarn fed from the yarn feeder for the additional yarn at the required position and knitted into the ground portion, and not only the rectangular but also the non-rectangular partial pile knitted fabric portion. Can be provided on socks.

  The conventional sock knitting machine is designed such that one front thread and one back thread feeder are respectively accommodated in the openings of the front thread and back thread plates. It is preferable to remodel the plate so that the opening of the plate for use is enlarged, and the front yarn feeder can be accommodated in the opening adjacent to the back yarn feeder.

  As described above, according to the first invention, the pile of the partial pile knitted fabric portion is knitted with the addition yarn knitted in the ground portion instead of the surface yarn forming the ground portion. The pile knitting range can be an arbitrary shape regardless of the base shape. That is, the shape of the formed partial pile knitted fabric portion is non-rectangular by knitting the pile by knitting the additional yarn into the non-pile ground portion formed by knitting the front yarn and the back yarn. It becomes possible to do. Therefore, it is possible to provide a partial pile knitted fabric part of the minimum size and shape necessary for the socks, so that the foot can be properly protected and comfortable walking without feeling cramped when wearing shoes Can be realized.

  According to the second invention, when knitting a Rosso-type sock, the front yarn feeder and the back yarn feeder are arranged adjacent to each other in the same plate for the back yarn, By feeding the yarn from the adjacent yarn feeder, the front yarn and the back yarn are fed as “back yarn”, and the sock knitting machine recognizes and changes the knit of the ground portion using only the back yarn. be able to. As a result, the pile can be knitted by the additional yarn fed from the yarn feeder for the additional yarn at the required position and knitted into the ground portion, and the non-rectangular partial pile knitted fabric portion can be made into a Rosso-type sock. Can be provided.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 to 3 show a sock 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a side view of the sock 10 turned upside down, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of the sole 15 side of the sock 10 turned upside down.
The sock 10 of FIG. 1 is a Rosso type, and the sock 10 is constituted by each part of a rubber band 11, a leg 12, a heel 13, a foot 14, a sole 15, and a toe 16.

On the leg 12, the instep 14, the sole 15, and the toe 16 of the socks 10, a ground portion 20 is knitted by splicing a front yarn 30 and a back yarn 31. Further, a full-pile knitted fabric portion 21 is knitted on the reed 13, and a flat oval partial pile knitted fabric portion 22 is formed on the full-pile knitted fabric portion 21 on the back side of the leg 12. It is organized to be continuous. Further, an elliptical partial pile knitted fabric portion 23 is also knitted on the front of the sole from the tip of the arch to the base of the toe.
In order to distinguish between the entire pile knitted fabric portion 21 and the partial pile knitted fabric portions 22 and 23, in FIG. 1, the entire pile knitted fabric portion 21 is indicated by shading.

The entire pile knitted fabric portion 21 of the heel 13 is formed by knitting a pile on the surface of the ground portion 20 with a surface yarn 30 forming the ground portion 20, as in a conventional pile knitted fabric.
On the other hand, the partial pile knitted fabric portions 22 and 23 at the upper portion of the heel and the front portion of the sole are formed by knitting the pile P on the surface of the ground portion 20 with the additional yarn 32 knitted into the ground portion 20 as shown in FIG. The additional yarn 32 is cut at the peripheral edges of the partial pile knitted fabric portions 22 and 23 to remove unnecessary portions of the additional yarn 32. In FIG. 3, 33 is a needle and 34 is a sinker.

  The sock 10 of this embodiment is knitted using a single cylinder knitting machine [140 K-type pile lambdas (manufactured by Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., not shown)], cotton yarn as the front yarn 30, FTY yarn as the back yarn 31, Cotton yarn is used as the yarn 32.

In this embodiment, the back yarn plate for accommodating the back yarn feeder of the sock knitting machine is modified. That is, the opening of the plate for the back yarn is enlarged, and the yarn feeder for the front yarn as well as the yarn feeder for the back yarn can be accommodated adjacent to the opening. When knitting the partial pile knitted fabric portions 22 and 23 at the upper part of the heel of the socks 10 and the front part of the sole, the front yarn 30 accommodated in the back yarn plate is adjoined from above the plate. The back yarn 31 is fed so that it flows from the bottom of the plate, and the ground portion 20 is knitted by using the attached front yarn 30 and the back yarn 31 as one “back yarn”, and the partial pile knitted fabric At the required position for knitting the portions 22 and 23, the additional yarn 32 is fed from the yarn feeder (not shown) of the additional yarn 32, and the additional yarn 32 is knitted into the ground portion 20. The non-rectangular partial pile knitted fabric portions 22 and 23 are knitted by knitting the piles P on the surface. After the partial pile knitted fabric portions 22 and 23 are knitted, the additional yarn 32 is cut at the peripheral edges of the partial pile knitted fabric portions 22 and 23 to complete the shaped partial pile knitted fabric portions 22 and 23.
The additional yarn 32 is knitted into a predetermined portion of the ground portion 20 by on / off control related to the knitting of the sock knitting machine, and is pile knitted.

On the other hand, the entire surface pile knitted fabric portion 21 provided on the heel 13 includes, as before, a front yarn feeding port accommodated in a front yarn plate, a back yarn feeding port accommodated in a back yarn plate, a front yarn 30, The ground portion 20 is knitted by feeding the back yarns 31 and knitting with splicing yarn, and the pile is knitted on the surface of the ground portion 20 with the front yarn 30 to knitting the entire pile knitted fabric portion 21.
In the present embodiment, when the toe is knitted, the entire pile knitted fabric portion is prevented from being knitted on the toe 16 by pulling the hook of the sock knitting machine.

As described above, since the pile P of the partial pile knitted fabric portions 22 and 23 is knitted with the addition yarn 32 knitted into the ground portion 20 instead of the surface yarn 30 forming the ground portion 20, the addition yarn 32 is used. The pile knitting range by can be any shape regardless of the base shape. That is, the partial pile knitted fabric portion 22 formed by knitting the pile P by knitting the additional yarn 32 into the non-pile ground portion 20 formed by knitting the front yarn 30 and the back yarn 31, The shape of 23 can be a non-rectangular shape (oval or elliptical). Therefore, since the partial pile knitted fabric portions 22 and 23 having the minimum necessary size and shape can be provided in the socks 10, it is possible to appropriately protect the foot without feeling a tight feeling when wearing shoes. , Can keep the feet comfortable.
In particular, by providing the partial pile knitted fabric portion 22 on the heel portion of the sock 10, it is possible to prevent the shoe from rubbing and the shoe from being easily removed. Moreover, by providing the partial pile knitted fabric part 23 in the front part of the sole of the socks 10, the cushioning property of the most easily fatigued part of the sole can be enhanced and a comfortable walking can be realized.

  Further, as described above, when knitting the Rosso-type socks 10, the yarn feeder for the front yarn 30 and the yarn feeder for the back yarn 31 are arranged adjacent to each other in the same plate for the back yarn, By feeding the back yarn 31 from the adjacent yarn feeder, the spliced front yarn 30 and the back yarn 31 are fed as one “back yarn”, and the ground portion 20 is knitted only with the back yarn. The sock knitting machine can change the recognition. As a result, the pile P can be knitted by the addition yarn 32 fed from the yarn feeder for the addition yarn at a required position and knitted into the ground portion 20, and the non-rectangular (oval or elliptical) partial pile can be formed. The knitted fabric portions 22 and 23 can be provided on the Rosso-type socks 10.

  FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the sock to be knitted is the same as that of the first embodiment except that the sock to be knitted is a fish mouth type sock 100 in which the toe sewing is performed by eliminating the half-reciprocal rotation of the toe. However, in the knitting of the fish mouth type socks 100, there is no need to modify the plate as in the first embodiment, and the front yarn and the back yarn are supplied as “front yarn” and “back yarn”, respectively, and the knitting is performed. The non-rectangular partial pile knitted fabric is knitted by knitting the pile P by knitting the ground portion 20 and knitting the pile P with the additional yarn 32 fed from the yarn feeder (not shown) of the additional yarn. Portions 22 and 23 are provided on the upper heel and the front of the sole of the sock 100.

Also in the second embodiment, since the partial pile knitted fabric portions 22 and 23 having the minimum necessary size and shape can be provided in the socks 100, the sock 100 can be appropriately used without feeling cramped when wearing shoes. Protect your feet and keep your feet comfortable.
In the first embodiment, the plate is modified. For example, when the needle selection pile 172P (manufactured by Nagata Seisakusho) is used, the plate can be manufactured without modification.
