Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a set-up method which allows the knitted fabric width of a set-up part to be matched to that of a knitted fabric continued in a wale direction after setting up.SOLUTION: In a set-up method, a process including the following steps is repeated: forming a widening stitch connected to a stating stitch 5 in a course direction by using a hook stitch 7; arranging and leaving the widening stitch on a front needle bed FB or a back needle bed BB in accordance with the stitch structure of a rib structure connected to the widening stitch in a wale direction; and forming a next stating stitch 5 on an empty needle adjacent on the other end side of a knitting width. Thereby, each widening stitch is formed so as to be connected to the rib structure in the wale direction. There is formed the stitch structure in which the multiple starting stitches 5 are connected in the wale direction, so that the widening of a set-up part can be suppressed, thereby allowing the matching of the knitted fabric width of the set-up part.

Description

  The present invention relates to a set-up method that is performed while forming stitches one by one from one end side to the other end side of a knitting width when knitting of a knitted fabric is started with a flat knitting machine.

  Conventionally, since a flat knitting machine has needle beds at least in the front and rear, a knitted fabric with a rib structure in which front and back stitches are mixed in the course direction can be knitted. The rib structure is used for a hem of a clothing knitted fabric such as a sweater. When knitting a clothing knitted fabric with a flat knitting machine, knitting is started from the hem, and therefore it is necessary to knitting a knitted fabric having a rib structure (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In the set-up method as described in Patent Document 1, the flat bag knitted course (FIGS. 6d to g) is knitted after the knitting of the rib-like stitches (FIGS. 6b and 6c) at the set-up portion. As a result, the stitch structure is fixed, while the rib knitted fabric connected to the set-up portion shrinks, so that the set-up portion may slightly expand with respect to the rib structure depending on the knitting conditions such as knitting yarn and loop length. Further, a set-up method that uses a split increase for set-up of a knitted fabric that branches back and forth has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 2). In Patent Document 2, following the stitches of the drawn yarn, the base course of the set-up is formed from the one end side to the other end side of the knitting width while increasing the stitches one by one, thereby forming a knitting without looseness. It is described that the delivery section can be knitted.

JP 60-194154 A JP 2012-102410 A

  In the set-up method as shown in Patent Document 1, the set-up part spreads and is fixed in a relaxed manner. Therefore, particularly when a rib structure in which the knitted structure shrinks is knitted, the knitted fabric width of the set-up portion may be larger than the knitted width of the knitted fabric of the rib structure. The set-up method disclosed in Patent Document 2 is a set-up method for a branched knitted fabric using a flat knitting machine that uses a compound needle having a slider that can be divided into two blades as a knitting needle. A set-up portion that repeats the same structure is formed regardless of the amount of expansion and contraction due to the ground knitting structure.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a set-up method capable of suppressing the spread of a set-up portion and adjusting the width of the set-up area to a knitted fabric that continues in the wale direction after set-up.

The present invention is a set-up method for starting knitting of a rib pattern in which front and back stitches are mixed in a flat knitting machine having needle beds before and after,
Form the first starting stitch on one end of the knitting width,
It is formed with a plurality of starting stitches that sequentially extend from one end side to the other end side by repeating the formation of the next starting stitch following the starting stitch by moving the starting stitch to the empty needle located on the other end side. Forming a well-formed wale structure,
A step of forming an additional stitch connected to at least one starting stitch between the starting stitch and the next starting stitch at a position corresponding to the arrangement of the front and back stitches of the knitted fabric, and the knitted fabric following the formed additional stitch Comprising the steps of:
This is a set-up method characterized by this.

Moreover, in the present invention, a series of wale structures formed by the starting stitch, the front and back are mixed in the wale direction,
It is characterized by that.

Further, in the present invention, the starting stitch row forms a back stitch at the position of the rib pattern as a starting stitch and a face at the position of the back so that the arrangement of the stitches and the back stitch of the rib pattern is reversed. To
It is characterized by that.

  In the present invention, the additional stitch is formed by a hook for an empty needle provided by moving the starting stitch.

Further, in the present invention, the additional stitch moves the starting stitch, which is engaged with the knitting needles of one of the front and rear needle beds, to the opposite knitting needle at the other needle bed, and moves to the opposite knitting needle. Forming a new stitch on the knitting needle,
It is characterized by that.

  According to the present invention, a plurality of starting stitches extending from one end side toward the other end side form a wale structure in the stitch for starting knitting of the knitted fabric. The stitches are connected in the wale direction in which the stretch is suppressed with respect to the set-up portion of Patent Document 1 or the like that becomes easy to stretch in the course direction by arranging the stitches in the course direction, and the spread of the set-up portion is suppressed, and the knitted fabric The width can be matched.

  Further, according to the present invention, a series of wale structures in a plurality of starting stitches are mixed in the wale direction, so that the front and back stitches are shrunk in the wale direction where the front and back stitches change, and the set-up portion Can be reduced and reduced in the course direction.

  Further, according to the present invention, in the starting stitch row, the starting stitch is formed at the back stitch at the position of the rib pattern, and the front stitch is formed at the position of the backing so that the stitches of the rib pattern are reversed. It is possible to adjust the knitted fabric width of the set-up portion by forming a set-up portion in accordance with the characteristic that the stitches of the rib pattern tend to curl and follow the knitted fabric of the rib pattern.

  Further, according to the present invention, the additional stitches are formed by hooks on the empty needles provided by the movement of the starting stitches, so that the starting stitches can be formed one by one while leaving the stitches connected in the wale direction.

  Further, according to the present invention, since the additional stitch is increased and formed as a new stitch with respect to the starting stitch, the transition yarn length is suppressed when forming the additional stitch, and the set-up is performed with the eyes closed. be able to.

However, depending on the number and configuration of cams mounted on the carriage, the movement of the carriage may correspond to a plurality of knitting steps, or the plurality of movements of the carriage may correspond to one knitting step.

  FIG. 1 is a knitting diagram for knitting a knitted fabric 3 with a two-bed flat knitting machine having needle beds at the front and rear as Example 1 of the present invention. Outside the frame of the knitting diagram, the inverted triangle mark indicates the yarn feeder, and the arrow indicates the moving direction of the yarn feeder. The knitting process is indicated by S0 to S13.

  As a preparation before the set-up in FIG. 1, a stitch by the thread 4 is formed on the knitting needles A to G. However, the stitches by the cut yarn 4 are shown only by S0 and omitted elsewhere. It is also possible not to use the thread 4. The set-up is performed while forming the hooks 7 one by one from the knitting needle A on the one end side of the knitting width toward the knitting needle G on the other end side.

  In S0, the first starting stitch 5 is set on the knitting needle A of the FB which is one end side of the knitting width. In the next S1, the stitches of the drawn yarn are transferred from the knitting needle A of the FB to the knitting needle a of the BB, the yarn feeder 6 is moved to the right, and the knitting needle a is knitted to form the next starting stitch 5a as a new stitch. . Since the starting stitch 5a is formed of BB, it becomes the back stitch 2.

  In S2, the yarn feeder 6 is moved to the left, and the starting stitch 5a is moved from the knitting needle a to the knitting needle B by racking and transferring the needle bed. Thereby, the starting stitch 5a moves to the empty needle B adjacent to the other end side of the knitting width. In S3, the yarn feeder 6 is moved to the right to form the hook 7 on the knitting needle A, and the starting stitch 5b connected to the hook 7 in the course direction is formed on the knitting needle B. In S4, the yarn feeder 6 is moved to the left, and the starting stitch 5b is moved from the knitting needle B to the knitting needle C by the racking and transfer of the needle bed as the front stitch 1, and the knitting needle B is used as an empty needle. The knitting needle A is left as it is.

  In S5, the yarn feeder 6 is moved to the right, and a starting stitch 5c is formed as a new stitch on the stitch 7 on the knitting needle B and a new stitch on the starting stitch 5b locked on the knitting needle C. In S6, the yarn feeder 6 is moved to the left, the hook 7 formed in S5 is moved from the knitting needle B and placed on the knitting needle b of BB, and the starting stitch 5c is moved to the knitting needle d.

  In S7, the yarn feeder 6 is moved to the right, and the starting stitch 5d is formed with the back stitch 2 as a new stitch on the starting stitch 5c engaged with the knitting needle c and the stitch 7 on the knitting needle d. In S8, the yarn feeder 6 is moved left, the hook 7 formed in S7 is left on the knitting needle c, the starting stitch 5d is moved to the knitting needle e, and the knitting needle d is made an empty needle.

  In S9, the yarn feeder 6 is moved to the right, and the starting stitch 5e is formed on the back stitch 2 as a new stitch on the stitch 7 on the knitting needle d and on the starting stitch 5d locked on the knitting needle e. In S10, the yarn feeder 6 is moved to the left, the hook 7 formed in S9 is moved from the knitting needle d and placed on the knitting needle D, and the starting stitch 5e is moved to the knitting needle F.

  In S11, the yarn feeder 6 is moved to the right, and the starting stitch 5f is formed as a new stitch on the stitch 1 on the knitting needle E and the starting stitch 5e to be locked to the knitting needle F with the front stitch 1 as a new stitch. In S12, the yarn feeder 6 is moved left, the hook 7 formed in S11 is left on the knitting needle E, the starting stitch 5f is moved to the knitting needle G, and the knitting needle F is made an empty needle.

  In S13, the yarn feeder 6 is moved to the right, and the starting stitch 5g is formed as a new stitch on the stitch 7 on the knitting needle F and on the starting stitch 5f locked on the knitting needle G with the front stitch 1 as a new stitch. Hereinafter, the additional stitches 7 are formed on the front needle bed FB or the rear stitches in accordance with the step of forming the additional stitches connected to the starting stitch with the hook stitches 7 and the stitch structure (front or back stitch) of the rib pattern connected to the additional stitches in the wale direction. The process of placing and leaving on the floor BB and the process of moving the starting stitch to an empty needle adjacent to the other end of the knitting width and forming the next starting stitch as a new stitch are repeated. As a result, the starting stitches 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, and 5g are obtained by moving the previous starting stitch to the empty needle and repeatedly forming the connected stitching yarn together with the hook 7 and the knit. . Hereinafter, the starting stitches 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, and 5g are collectively referred to as the starting stitch 5. The plurality of starting stitches 5 form a starting stitch row 9 connected in the wale direction, and forms a wale structure as a stitch structure in which the front stitch 1 and the back stitch 2 are mixed in the wale direction.

  The above procedure forms the starting stitch row 9 of the wale structure formed by the plurality of starting stitches 5a, 5 that sequentially extend from one end side to the other end side, and the starting stitches 5a, 5 and the next starting stitch 5 A step of forming an additional stitch 7 connected to at least one of the starting stitches 5a, 5 at a position corresponding to the arrangement of the front stitch 1 and the back stitch 2 of the knitted fabric 3, 10, and the formed additional stitch 7 And knitting the knitted fabric.

  In S3, S5, S7, S9, S11, and S13, the stitches 7 and new stitches of the starting stitch 5 are formed by the adjacent knitting needles, but they are separated from the same needle bed or different needle beds. It can also be formed on a knitting needle. When forming on adjacent knitting needles, the crossover yarn can be shortened.

  FIG. 2 shows the stitch structure of the knitted fabrics 3 and 10 knitted by the set-up method of FIG. 1 and its application. Although the knitted fabrics 3 and 10 also show stitches by the cut yarn 4, the starting stitch rows 9 and 11 become the knitted end portions of the knitted fabrics 3 and 10 by removing the cut yarn 4. In FIG. 2A, according to the first embodiment, the set stitch 7 that is the additional stitch and the formation of the starting stitches 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, and 5e that form the starting stitch row 9 are performed one by one. It is carried out. The starting stitches 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, and 5e are stitches that connect the hooks 7, and the back stitch 2, the stitch 1, the stitch 1, the back stitch 2, and the stitches S1, S3, S5, S7, and S9 in FIG. The back mesh 2 is formed. The hook stitch 7 connected to the starting stitches 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, and 5e in the course direction has the stitch pattern 1, the back stitch 2, the back stitch 2, the front stitch 1, and the stitch 1 of the rib pattern of the knitted fabric 3 respectively in the wale direction. Since they are connected, the stitches are different from the starting stitches 5 connected to the respective hooks 7. That is, the starting stitch 5 is formed as the back stitch 2 if the stitch of the rib pattern of the knitted fabric 3 connected to the hook 7 is the front stitch 1, and as the front stitch 1 if the stitch is the back stitch 2. In the knitting of the starting stitch 5, regardless of the old loop, the direction in which it is easy to bend at the formation location is determined depending on whether it is the front stitch 1 or the back stitch 2 when newly knit. The starting stitch 5 is matched to the rib pattern, but the rib pattern can be matched to the winding characteristics of the rib pattern as described in FIG. it can. The additional stitches by the stitches 7 are connected to both the new starting stitch 5 formed on the knitting needle adjacent to the stitching stitch 7 and the starting stitch 5 just before the new starting stitch 5 is formed.

  In FIG. 2 (b), as an application of the first embodiment, a starting stitch row 11 for forming the starting stitch 5 twice is formed and knitted for each additional stitch. Since the starting stitch 5 that forms the starting stitch row 11 is increased, the elongation of the set-up portion can be matched with the elongation of the rib pattern of the knitted fabric 3 when using a knitting yarn with less elongation.

  FIG. 3 shows the effect of making it easy to match the unevenness due to the winding characteristics of the rib pattern in the stitch structure of the starting stitch row 9 by the set-up method of FIG. As shown in FIG. 3 (a), when the face pattern 1 and the back face 2 are continuously arranged in the course direction in the rib pattern, the front face 1 has a convex middle part and the back face 2 has a concave middle part. Each has winding characteristics 1c and 2c. FIG. 3B shows winding characteristics 1w and 2w in the case where the surface 1 and the back 2 are continuously arranged in the wale direction. In the winding characteristic 1w of the front face 1, the intermediate part is concave, and in the winding characteristic 2w of the back face 2, the intermediate part is convex. As shown in FIG. 3 (c), if the knitted fabric structure of the knitted fabric 3 is the surface 1, the knitted fabric structure of the knitted fabric 3 is connected to the back stitch 2 by connecting the starting stitch row 9 with the starting stitch 5 of the back stitch 2. Are connected by the starting stitch row 9 of the front stitch 1 in the starting stitch row 9. Therefore, the knitted fabric width can be adjusted by expanding and contracting the starting stitch row 9 of the set-up portion in the direction in which the rib structure of the knitted fabric 3 curls.

  FIG. 4 shows a state in which the set-up method for forming the additional stitches by splitting is performed on a two-bed flat knitting machine as Example 2 of the present invention. Use a flat knitting machine that can be increased. After the set-up, the knitted fabric 3 having the same 2 × 2 rib pattern as in the first embodiment is knitted under the same conditions except that an additional stitch is formed by increasing the split. The knitting diagram is similar to FIG. 1 except that the yarn feeder is omitted.

  At T0, the first starting stitch 15a is formed as a front stitch 1 on the knitting needle A of the FB which is one end side of the knitting width. At T1, the additional stitch 17 is formed on the knitting needle A of the FB as the surface stitch 1 while the starting stitch 15a is moved to the knitting needle a of the BB. At T2, the starting stitch 15a is moved to the knitting needle b of the BB via the FB.

  At T3, a new stitch is formed using the starting stitch 15b as the back stitch 2 by knit the starting stitch 15a of the knitting needle b. At T4, the additional stitch 17 is formed as the back stitch 2 on the knitting needle b of the BB while moving the starting stitch 15b to the knitting needle B of the FB by increasing the split. At T5, the starting stitch 15b is moved to the knitting needle c of BB.

  At T6, the starting stitch 15b of the knitting needle c is knit and a new stitch is formed using the starting stitch 15c as the back stitch 2. At T7, the additional stitch 17 is formed as the back stitch 2 on the knitting needle c of the BB while moving the starting stitch 15c to the knitting needle C of the FB by increasing the split. At T8, the starting stitch 15c is moved to the knitting needle D of the FB.

  At T9, the starting stitch 15c of the knitting needle D is knit and a new stitch is formed with the starting stitch 15d as the front stitch 1. At T10, an additional stitch 17 is formed as a surface stitch 1 on the knitting needle D of the FB while moving the starting stitch 15d to the knitting needle d of the BB by increasing the split. At T11, the starting stitch 15d is moved to the knitting needle E of the FB.

  Hereinafter, similarly, a step of forming an additional stitch 17 connected in the wale direction to the starting stitch 15 that collectively refers to the starting stitches 15a, 15b, 15c, and 15d, and an empty needle adjacent to the other end of the knitting width of the starting stitch 15 And a step of forming the next starting stitch 15. The additional stitches 17 are arranged on the front needle bed FB or the rear needle bed BB according to the stitch structure of the rib pattern connected in the wale direction. The set-up is performed by repeating these steps. Since the additional stitches 17 are increased and formed as new stitches with respect to the starting stitch 15, the transition yarn length can be suppressed when forming the additional stitches 17, and stitching with tight stitches can be performed. The extra stitch 17 due to the additional split is connected to the starting stitch 15 that moves with the additional split, although the edge is cut off from the next starting stitch 15 that is formed as a new stitch with respect to the starting stitch 15 that is moved by the additional split. .

  In the second embodiment, the stitches at the starting stitches 15a and 15 are the same as the stitches 1 and 2 of the rib pattern, but stitches connected in the wale direction from one end side to the other end side. Form an organization. Compared to the set-up part of Patent Document 1 where the stitches are easily stretched in the course direction by arranging the stitches in the course direction, the set-up part is in a state where the stitches are connected in the wale direction where the extension is suppressed, and the set-up part is expanded. Thus, the knitted fabric width of the set-up portion can be matched. However, if the stitches are transferred to the opposite needle bed before increasing the split, the arrangement of the stitch structure is reversed from that of the rib pattern so that the rib pattern It is possible to adjust the knitted fabric width of the set-up portion by forming a set-up portion matched with the characteristic that the stitch is likely to curl and following the knitted fabric of the rib pattern.
