Description

  The present invention relates to a knitting method of a knitted fabric in which an inlay wire is inserted into a base knitted fabric portion, and a knitted fabric in which an inlay wire is inserted.

  Compared to woven fabrics, knitted fabrics are easy to stretch vertically and horizontally, and usually knitted fabrics are used so as to make use of this property. However, even a knitted fabric is difficult to stretch vertically and horizontally, and there are cases where it is required to maintain a certain shape. For example, as shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2 and the like, by inserting an inlay yarn (inlay wire) through a base stitch row that constitutes a base portion serving as a main body of the knitted fabric, the lateral direction (course direction) of the knitted fabric It is mentioned to make the knitted fabric with suppressed elongation.

JP-A-60-199953 JP 2007-277738 A

  The inlay wire is inserted into the base stitch row by assigning the stitches of the base stitch row to the front and back needle beds and sandwiching the stitches between the assigned stitches. Therefore, since the inlay wire is arranged before and after the stitches so as to sew the stitches in the base stitch row, a part of the inlay wire is exposed on the front side of the knitted fabric (the side that becomes the front when used). However, there is a need to make the inlay wire exposed on the front side of the knitted fabric inconspicuous while appropriately suppressing the stretch of the knitted fabric with the inlay wire.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a knitting method of a knitted fabric that can be inserted into a base stitch row so that an inlay wire is not conspicuous. Another object of the present invention is to provide a knitted fabric that is arranged so that an inlay wire that suppresses elongation of the knitted fabric is not conspicuous.

The knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention uses a flat knitting machine having opposed front needle beds and rear needle beds to knitting a base portion composed of a plurality of base stitch rows continuous in the wale direction, This is a knitting method of a knitted fabric in which an inlay wire is sandwiched between stitches of the base stitch row over the entire width of the base stitch row. In the knitting method of the knitted fabric, a new base stitch row is formed by N divided stitch rows in which the stitch formation position is shifted in the course direction with respect to the wale direction of the base stitch row, and the new base stitch row is formed. At the time of sandwiching the inlay wire material, at least a part of the base stitch row locked to one needle bed is set as a first region, the first region is divided into N groups by a plurality of stitches, Step A to Step C are performed.
-One group X is selected from the N groups, and at least all the stitches other than the group X in the first region are locked to the other needle bed, and then the group X Step A of knitting a new stitch row constituting the divided stitch row following the stitch direction.
The new stitch row is locked to the one needle bed, and the stitches other than the new stitch row are locked to the other needle bed, and then between the one needle bed and the other needle bed. Step B of supplying the inlay wire.
A process C in which the same knitting as the process A and the process B is repeated for each group other than the group X.

Here, N is an arbitrary natural number equal to or greater than 2, and therefore the number of repetitions of steps A and B is N. For example, N = 2, that is, dividing the stitches of the first region to the group P _1, P _2, group P ₁ in the first step A, the group P ₂ the stitches in a state in which to engage with the other needle bed A new stitch row following the wale direction of the stitch of (Group X) is knitted, and in the second step A, the new stitch row knitted in the first step A is held in the other needle bed in the group P. _A new stitch row following the wale direction of the _second stitch is knitted. Further, when N = 3, that is, when the first region is divided into the groups P ₁ , P ₂ , and P ₃ , in the first process A, the stitches of the groups P ₂ and P ₃ are locked to the other needle bed. Knitting a new stitch row following the wale direction of the stitch of the group P ₁ in the second step A, stitches other than the group P ₂ (new stitch row knitted in the first step A and stitches of the group P ₃ ) the knitting a new stitch row following in the wale direction of the stitches of the group P ₂ in a state in which to engage with the other needle bed. Then, in the third step A, other than the group P ₃ stitch group P ₃ (the first and two new stitch row knitted in the second step A) in a state in which to engage with the other needle bed stitches Knitting a new stitch row following the wale direction. In the case where N is 4 or more, Step A to Step C may be repeated based on the same concept.

  As one form of the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the N is 2, and the grouping is performed so that the stitches of one group and the stitches of the other group are alternately arranged one by one. .

  As one form of the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, a form in which the new stitch row is a back stitch knitted on the other needle bed can be mentioned.

  As one form of the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, a form in which the base part is knitted into a cylindrical shape can be mentioned.

In the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, portions other than the first region can be knitted as shown below.
Of the row of base stitches locked to one needle bed, a region other than the first region is set as a second region, the inside of the second region is divided into N groups by a plurality of stitches, and the following steps D to D Step F is performed.
-One group Y is selected from the N groups, and at least all the stitches other than the group Y in the second region are locked to the one needle bed, and then the group Y Step D of knitting a new stitch row in the second region constituting the divided stitch row, following the wale direction of the stitches.
The new stitch row in the second region is locked to the other needle bed, and the stitches other than the new stitch row are locked to the one needle bed, the one needle bed and the other needle bed Step E of supplying the inlay wire between the needle beds.
A step F in which the same knitting as the step D and the step E is repeated for each group other than the group Y.
Here, the process D and the process E can be performed at the same time by the same knitting operation as the process A and the process B, respectively.

  The knitted fabric of the present invention comprises a base portion composed of a plurality of base stitch rows continuous in the wale direction, and an inlay wire sandwiched between the stitches of the base stitch row over the entire width of the base stitch row. It is a knitted fabric. In this knitted fabric, the base stitch row is composed of a plurality of divided stitch rows knitted on a plurality of knitting courses in which the formation positions of the stitches are shifted in the course direction, and the inlay wire rods along each divided stitch row Has been inserted. In the knitted fabric, the first portion in which the surface side portion disposed on the surface side of the base portion of the inlay wire is hidden by the sinker loop of the divided stitch row disposed further on the surface side of the surface side portion. Provide an area.

  Here, by shifting the stitch formation position of each knitting course in the course direction, the stitch formation position of a certain divided stitch row does not overlap with stitches of other divided stitch rows in the course direction.

  According to the knitting method of the knitted fabric, the knitted fabric of the present invention can be knitted. In the knitted fabric of the present invention, among the inlay wires, the first region where the surface side portion arranged on the surface side of the base portion is hidden by the sinker loop of the divided stitch row arranged further on the surface side of the surface side portion. In the first region, the inlay wire is very difficult to see from the surface of the base portion. In the knitted fabric of the present invention, the base stitch row constituting the base portion is composed of a plurality of divided stitch rows, and inlay wires are inserted along each divided stitch row, and each inlay yarn is inserted into the base stitch row. The stitches are sandwiched between sinker loops of the respective stitches of the base stitch row while alternately passing back and forth. Therefore, the movement of the knitting yarn is restricted between the stitches of the base stitch row by the inlay wire, and the stitches are hardly deformed, and the vertical and horizontal expansion and contraction of the knitted fabric is suppressed.

  When the first region is set for the entire base portion, the knitted fabric looks like a knitted fabric knitted without using the inlay wire, although it is difficult to stretch vertically and horizontally by the inlay wire. Moreover, when setting a 1st area | region in a part of base part, a pattern can be formed in the surface of a base part by the difference in appearance of a 1st area | region and areas other than a 1st area | region.

  Since the yarn length of the inlay wire arranged on the surface side of the knitted fabric can be shortened by dividing it into two groups consisting of every other stitch, the inlay wire is easily hidden by the sinker loop of the divided stitch row.

  In the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, by using the new stitch row (part of the divided stitch row) as the back stitch, it becomes easy to suppress the exposure of the inlay wire in the first region. Since the back stitch is drawn from the old stitch toward the back side from the front side of the knitted fabric, the sinker loop of the new stitch row that hides the inlay wire is arranged on the front side of the knitted fabric. Therefore, by setting the new stitch row as the back stitch, the state in which the sinker loop is arranged on the surface side of the knitted fabric than the inlay wire is easily maintained, and the exposure of the inlay wire in the first region is easily suppressed.

  By knitting the base portion in a cylindrical shape, a knitted fabric in which expansion and contraction is suppressed over the entire circumference of the cylinder can be knitted.

It is a figure which shows the photograph of the knitted fabric which concerns on embodiment. It is a loop figure of the knitted fabric concerning an embodiment. It is a knitting process figure of the knitted fabric which concerns on embodiment.

The state of the stitch will be described. In FIG. 2, the inlay wire 3 is shown thinner than the knitting yarn constituting the base portion 2. Capital letters A to H shown in FIG. 2 correspond to the positions of the knitting needles in the knitting process diagram of FIG. 3 to be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the knitted fabric 1 includes a base portion 2 constituted by a plurality of base stitch rows 20 that are continuous in the wale direction, and a stitch of the base stitch row 20 over the entire width of the base stitch row 20. An inlay wire rod 3 sandwiched therebetween. The base stitch row 20 includes a plurality of divided stitch rows 21 and 22, and the inlay wire 3 is inserted along each of the divided stitch rows 21 and 22.

In the first region _RH of the knitted fabric 1 of FIG. 2, the surface side portion 31 disposed on the surface side of the base portion 2 in the inlay wire 3 is disposed further on the surface side of the surface side portion 31. It is hidden by the sinker loops 21 s and 22 s of the divided stitch rows 21 and 22. Therefore, in the first region _RH , the inlay wire 3 is hardly visible from the surface of the base portion 2 even though the inlay wire 3 is inserted into the base portion 2 (see FIG. 1).

On the other hand, in the second region R _E of the knitted fabric 1, of the inlay wire 3, the surface side portion 31 arranged on the surface side of the base portion 2 is covered with the sinker loop and knit loop split stitch row 21 and 22 It is exposed to the surface side of the base part 2 without. Therefore, in the second region R _E, inlay wire 3 visible fawn shape (see FIG. 1).

≪Knitting method of knitted fabric≫
The knitted fabric 1 shown in FIG. 2 can be knitted using a two-bed flat knitting machine or a four-bed flat knitting machine. Hereinafter, an example of knitting the knitted fabric 1 using a four-bed flat knitting machine will be described based on the knitting process diagram of FIG.

  In the knitting process diagram of FIG. 3, S + number indicates the number of the knitting process, FD indicates the lower front needle bed, FU indicates the upper front needle bed, BD indicates the lower rear needle bed, and BU indicates the upper rear needle bed. A triangular mark to which reference numeral 8 is attached indicates a yarn feeder for supplying the base knitting yarn Y8, and a triangular mark to which reference numeral 9 is attached indicates a feeder opening for supplying the inlay wire 3. Black dots indicate knitting needles provided on the needle bed, and capital letters A to H indicate the positions of the knitting needles. In FIG. 3, the inlay wire 3 is shown thicker than the base knitting yarn Y8, contrary to FIG.

  Here, the inlay wire 3 only needs to be an elongated and continuous member, and the material and form thereof are not particularly limited. Moreover, as a form of the inlay wire 3, a knitting yarn, a string, etc. can be mentioned. The thickness of the inlay wire 3 is not particularly limited as long as it can be supplied from the feeder port 9.

From this state, the knitting of the first region R _H and the second region R _E of the base stitch row 20 to be locked in FD (one needle bed). First, the divided first region R _H into N groups by a plurality of stitches, also divided into N groups by a plurality of stitches second region R _E. In this example, the stitches in the first region R _H, the group P ₁ to be engaged knitting needle E, the _G, knitting needles F, and a group P ₂ to be engaged in H, the stitches in the second region R _E Subsequent knitting is performed with the group Q ₁ locked to the knitting needles A and C and the group Q ₂ locked to the knitting needles B and D.

Here, the method of grouping the stitches is not particularly limited. In this example, the stitches of the group P ₁ (Q ₁ ) and the stitches of the group P ₂ (Q ₂ ) are grouped so that they are alternately arranged one by one. For example, the stitches are grouped so that _two stitches are alternately arranged. It doesn't matter.

In S1, the stitches of the group P ₁ (group X) of the knitting needles E and G of the FD in the first region _RH and the stitches of the group P ₂ of the knitting needles F and H are moved to BU (part of the process A). Movement of the stitches of the group P ₁ is not essential, it is for the back stitch of the stitch following in the wale direction of the group P ₁ in the next S2. In other words, the stitch of the group P ₁ may be left on the FD, and the stitch that continues in the wale direction of the group P ₁ may be used as the front stitch. The stitches of the group P ₁ may be allocated to the FD and BU, and the new stitch row 4 (see S2 to be described later) continuing in the wale direction of the group P ₁ may be used as the rib structure.

Here, in S1, but not at all to move the stitches of the second region R _E, there in a state in which the knitting needle B of the FD, the stitches of a group Q ₂ of D locked to the FD (part of Step D) if only, knitting needles a, stitch groups to Q ₁ C of the FD may be moved to the BU. It distributes the stitch groups Q ₁ to the FD and BU, new stitch row 5 (see below for S2) following in the wale direction of the group Q ₁ may be a rib structure.

In S2, the yarn feeder 8 is moved to the left, and the new stitch row 4 in the first region _RH is knitted on the knitting needles G and E of the BU (the remaining part of the process A), and the second knitting needles C and A of the FD are second. knitting a new stitch row fifth region R _E (the remainder of the step D). A divided stitch row 21 is formed by two new stitch rows 4 and 5 knitted in series (see also FIG. 2).

  In S3, the new stitch row 4 of BU is moved to the FD (part of step B), and the new stitch row 5 of FD is moved to BU (part of step E).

  In S4, the feeder 9 is moved rightward, and the inlay wire 3 is supplied between FD and BU (the remaining part of the process B and the remaining part of the process E).

In S5, BU knitting needles A, C in locked are groups to _{Q 1} stitches of FD knitting needles A, is moved to the C, BU knitting needles F, the stitches of the group _{P 2} to be locked to the H of FD Move to knitting needles F and H. As a result, in the first region R _H, the back stitches of the split stitch row 21 (BD, BU side) with the inlay wire 3 is disposed, on the front side of the stitches of the group P ₂ (FD side) inlay wire 3 The sinker loop 21s of the divided stitch row 21 is disposed further on the surface side of the surface side portion 31 of the inlay wire 3 so that the inlay wire 3 becomes difficult to see from the FD side (see also FIG. 2). On the other hand, in the second region R _E, surface portion 31 of the inlay wire 3 is exposed to the FD side (see also FIG. 2).

In S6, FD knitting needles E, and the stitch group _{P 1} of G, (a part of the second step A) of the knitting needle F, moves the stitches of the group _{P 2} of the H in BU. By this S6 without moving the stitches of the second region R _E, knitting needle A of the FD, the stitches of the group to Q ₁ C (a part of the second step D) locked state is maintained FD .

  In S7, the yarn feeder 8 is moved rightward, and the new stitch row 4 is knitted on the BU knitting needles F and H (the remaining part of the second step A), and the new stitch row 5 is placed on the FD knitting needles B and D. Knit (remaining part of the second process D). A divided stitch row 22 is formed by two new stitch rows 4 and 5 knitted in series (see also FIG. 2). The new stitch rows 4 and 5 can also have a rib structure.

  In S8, the new stitch row 4 of BU is moved to the FD (part of the second step B), and the new stitch row 5 of FD is moved to the BU (part of the second step E).

  In S9, the feeder 9 is moved to the left, and the inlay wire 3 is supplied between the FD and BU (the remaining part of the second process B and the remaining part of the process E).

In S10, the stitches of the BU knitting needles B, D, E, and G are moved to the FD. As a result, in the first region _RH , the sinker loop 22s of the divided stitch row 22 is disposed further on the surface side (FD side) of the surface side portion 31 of the inlay wire 3, and the inlay wire 3 is difficult to see from the FD side ( See also FIG. On the other hand, in the second region R _E, surface portion 31 of the inlay wire 3 is exposed to the FD side (see also FIG. 2).

After S10, knitting similar to S1 to S10 was performed on the base stitch row 20 locked to the BD, and the base stitch row 20 of the FD and the base stitch row 20 of the BB were connected in a cylindrical shape. A base portion may be formed. By knitting described above, as shown in FIG. 1, it is possible by the appearance of differences between the first region R _H and the second region R _E, to form a pattern on the surface of the base portion. In addition, you may set 1st area | region _RH in the whole base part.

  Here, when forming the cylindrical base portion, the divided stitch row 21 of the base stitch row 20 on the FD side → the divided stitch row 21 of the base stitch row 20 on the BD side → the divided stitch row of the base stitch row 20 on the FD side. It is also possible to perform knitting in the order of 22 → the divided stitch row 22 of the base stitch row 20 on the BD side. In addition, after forming a base part having an opening by C-shaped knitting, the opening can be sewn to form a cylindrical base. In this case, the divided stitch row 21 of the base stitch row 20 on the FD side → the divided stitch row 21 of the base stitch row 20 on the BD side → the divided stitch row 22 of the base stitch row 20 on the BD side → the base stitch row 20 on the FD side. The divided stitch rows 22 may be knitted in this order. Of course, the base portion is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be a single-layer knitted fabric.
