Description

The present invention relates to a method of knitting a pile knitted fabric.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a method of knitting a pile knitted fabric having a plurality of pile loops is known. Patent Document 1 discloses a method of knitting a pile knitted fabric using a flat knitting machine equipped with a pile sinker for forming pile loops. Patent Document 2 discloses a method of knitting a pile knitted fabric using a flat knitting machine equipped with compound needles. A compound needle is a knitting needle that has a needle body with a hook and a slider that opens and closes the hook. In addition, a method of knitting a pile knitted fabric using a general-purpose flat knitting machine that does not have a special configuration such as a pile sinker or a compound needle is known.

In the knitting method of the pile knitted fabric, the first pile stitch row and the first fixed stitch row are knitted in succession in the wale direction of the first stitch row held on the needle bed. The first pile stitch row includes a plurality of pile loops and a plurality of anchor stitches sandwiching each pile loop. The first fixed stitch row includes a plurality of fixed stitches that fix each anchor stitch.

A method of knitting a pile knitted fabric using compound needles as a representative will be described based on the knitting process diagram of FIG. "T+Number" in the left column of FIG. 4 indicates the number of the knitting process. The right column shows the knitting state of the stitches on the front needle bed FB and the back needle bed BB. The vertical bar in the right column indicates the needle body of the compound needle, and the horizontal bar indicates the slider. Sliders are shown only in steps that use sliders. The water drop-shaped marks are the stitches of the first stitch row held on the rear needle bed BB at the start of knitting shown in T0, the Ω-shaped marks and the V-shaped marks are the stitches of the first pile stitch row 3, and Π A mark indicates the stitches of the first fixed stitch row 5 .

T0 in FIG. 4 shows a state in which the first stitch row 1 is held on the needle body of the compound needle of the rear needle bed BB. From this state, at T1, the first fixed stitch row 5 composed of a plurality of fixed stitches 50 is knitted. The fixed stitch 50 is held on the hook of the needle body and the stitch of the first stitch row 1 is held on the slider of the compound needle.

In T2, the first pile stitch row 3 is knitted. The first pile stitch row 3 includes multiple pile loops 31 and multiple anchor stitches 30 . A pile loop 31 is a hook formed on the needle body of the FB. The anchor stitch 30 is a tuck stitch superimposed on the fixed stitch 50 . Due to this T2, the double stitch made up of the anchor stitch 30 and the fixed stitch 50 is pulled out from the stitch of the first stitch row 1 and held by the hook. As a result, the anchor stitch 30 is fixed by the fixing stitch 50.

At T3, the pile loop 31 is unhooked from the compound needle of the front needle bed FB. Further, when the pile knitted fabric portion is formed in the wale direction, the double stitch held by the compound needle of the rear needle bed BB is regarded as the first stitch row 1, and T1 and T2 are repeated.

Although not described here, in the method of knitting a pile fabric using a pile sinker, the first pile stitch row and the first fixed stitch row are knitted at the same time. Further, in the knitting method of a pile knitted fabric using a general-purpose machine, the first fixed stitch row is knitted after the first pile stitch row is knitted.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-20668 JP-A-11-81101

A pile knitted fabric may be knitted in a tubular shape or a C shape on a needle bed. In that case, in addition to the first stitch row, the second pile stitch row is knitted on the needle bed facing the needle bed on which the first pile stitch row is held. A knitting yarn connecting the terminal stitch of the first pile stitch row and the starting stitch of the second pile stitch row crosses between the two opposing needle beds. Here, as described with reference to FIG. 4, two anchor stitches sandwiching the pile loop in the knitting width direction are required to form the pile loop. Therefore, a pile loop cannot be formed between the terminal stitch of the first pile stitch row and the starting stitch of the second pile stitch row. Therefore, in a pile knitted fabric in which the first pile stitch row and the second pile stitch row are connected in a tubular or C shape on the needle bed, there is no pile loop at the boundary between the first pile stitch row and the second pile stitch row. However, it can be done.

One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a method of knitting a pile knitted fabric that can form a pile loop at the boundary between a first pile stitch row and a second pile stitch row that are connected in a tubular or C shape.

<1> The knitting method of the pile knitted fabric of the present invention comprises:

Knitting a second pile stitch row and a second fixed stitch row continuously in the wale direction of the second stitch row,
The first pile stitch row and the second pile stitch row comprise a plurality of standard pile loops and a plurality of anchor stitches sandwiching each standard pile loop,
In the method of knitting a pile knitted fabric, wherein the first fixed stitch row and the second fixed stitch row are provided with fixed stitches for fixing each anchor stitch,
After knitting the first pile stitch row and before knitting the second pile stitch row, an end pile loop arranged outside the end stitch in the knitting width direction, and the end pile loop Knitting additional stitches arranged on the outside in the knitting width direction,
After knitting the first fixed stitch row or the second fixed stitch row including the first fixed stitch for fixing the end stitch and the second fixed stitch for fixing the additional stitch, the end pile loop is formed. bringing the second fixed stitch into an unlatched state and overlapping the second fixed stitch with the first fixed stitch;
The end stitch is the terminal stitch of the first pile stitch row or the starting stitch of the second pile stitch row.

<2> As one embodiment of the knitting method of the pile knitted fabric of the present invention,
The first stitch row and the second stitch row are shifted in the knitting width direction, and the first stitch row and the second stitch row overlap in the knitting width direction on either the front needle bed or the back needle bed. form a non-overlapping region that does not
A form in which the additional stitches are formed in the non-overlapping region is included.

<3> As one embodiment of the knitting method of the pile knitted fabric of the present invention,
Forming either one of two anchor stitches sandwiching each standard pile loop of the first pile stitch row by tucking,
Forming either one of two anchor stitches sandwiching each standard pile loop of the second pile stitch row by tucking,
One of the anchor stitches and the additional stitches sandwiching the end pile loops may be formed by tucking.

In the knitting method of the pile knitted fabric of the present invention, the end pile loops and the additional stitches are knitted on the outside in the knitting width direction of the end stitches arranged at the boundary between the first stitch row and the second stitch row. . In this case, the end stitches and the additional stitches function as anchor stitches that maintain the end pile loops. Therefore, according to the knitting method of the pile knitted fabric of the present invention, the end pile loop can be formed at the boundary between the first stitch row and the second stitch row.

In the knitting method of the pile knitted fabric of the present invention, the additional stitches for forming the end pile loops are formed, but the additional stitches do not change the knitting width of the pile knitted fabric. This is because the first fixed stitch and the second fixed stitch are overlapped after forming the first fixed stitch and the second fixed stitch for fixing the additional stitch and the end stitch, respectively.

According to the knitting method of form <2>, as shown in a first embodiment described later, the appearance of the standard pile loops and the end pile loops can be made substantially the same.

According to the knitting method of the form <3>, since the intervals between the pile loops arranged in the wale direction are narrowed, it is possible to knit a pile knitted fabric in which the pile loops are densely arranged.

FIG. 1 is a first knitting process diagram of a knitting method for a pile knitted fabric according to Embodiment 1. FIG. FIG. 2 is a second knitting process diagram following FIG. FIG. 3 is a third knitting process diagram following FIG. FIG. 4 is a knitting process diagram showing an example of a conventional knitting method for a pile knitted fabric.

A method of knitting a pile knitted fabric according to the embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<Embodiment 1>
In this embodiment, an example of a method of knitting a pile knitted fabric using a general-purpose two-bed flat knitting machine will be described with reference to the knitting process diagrams of FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. "S+Number" in the left column of FIGS. 1 to 3 indicates the number of the knitting process. The right column shows the knitting state of the stitches in each knitting process. In the right column, black dots indicate knitting needles, circle marks indicate knit stitches, V marks indicate pickup stitches, square marks indicate tuck stitches, and inverted triangular marks indicate yarn feeders 9 . Arrows indicate transfer. A knitting operation performed in each knitting process is indicated by a thick line.

S1 in FIG. 1 shows a state in which the yarn feeder 9 is used to knit the first stitch row 1 on the front needle bed FB, and the second stitch row 2 is knitted on the back needle bed BB.

In S2, the second stitch row 2 is shifted leftward relative to the first stitch row 1. As a result, on the front needle bed FB, a non-overlapping region R1 is formed in which the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 do not overlap in the knitting width direction. For example, the rear needle bed BB is racked leftward to bring the state of S2.

In S3, the front needle bed FB and the back needle bed BB are shifted, the yarn feeder 9 is moved leftward, and the first pile stitch row 3 is knitted. The first pile stitch row 3 is knitted in order of an anchor stitch 30 consisting of knit stitches, a standard pile loop 31 and an anchor stitch 30 consisting of tuck stitches. The terminating stitch 3E of the first pile stitch row 3 is an anchor stitch made up of knit stitches. Here, the terminal stitch 3E is called an end stitch 7. As shown in FIG.

In S3, the end pile loop 71, the additional stitch 70, and the return stitch 72 are further knitted outside the end stitch 7 in the knitting width direction. The end pile loop 71 is a pickup stitch formed on the empty needles of the rear needle bed BB. The additional stitch 70 is a pick-up stitch formed on the empty needle of the front needle bed FB. The additional stitches 70 are arranged outside the end pile loops 71 in the knitting width direction. The folded stitch 72 is a pick-up stitch formed on the empty needle of the front needle bed FB. The return stitch 72 is arranged outside the additional stitch 70 in the knitting width direction. The return stitch 72 is for facilitating the knitting of the additional stitch 70, and is not an essential stitch.

In S3, the standard pile loop 31 and the end pile loop 71 are knitted while the yarn feeder 9 moves leftward. In addition, the distance between two adjacent standard pile loops 31 and the distance between the end pile loop 71 and the standard pile loop 31 are equal, and the distance between the two anchor stitches 30 sandwiching the standard pile loop 31 and the end pile loop The distance between the end stitch 7 sandwiching the 71 and the additional stitch 70 is also equal. Therefore, since the standard pile loop 31 and the end pile loop 71 are knitted under substantially the same conditions, all the pile loops 31, 71 including the end pile loop 71 have substantially the same appearance. A pile knitted fabric having such standard pile loops 31, 71 has an excellent appearance. The end pile loops 71 and the additional stitches 70 can be arranged at the above-described positions because the positions of the ends of the first stitch row 1 and the second stitch row 2 are shifted left and right in S2, and the non-overlapping region is formed on the front needle bed FB. This is because it forms R1.

In S4, the yarn feeder 9 is moved rightward, and the second pile stitch row 4 is knitted. The second pile stitch row 4 is knitted in the order of anchor stitches 40 consisting of knit stitches, standard pile loops 41, and anchor stitches 40 consisting of tuck stitches. The starting stitch 4S and the ending stitch 4E of the second pile stitch row 4 are anchor stitches made of knit stitches.

Here, when repeating the knitting of FIGS. 1 to 3, the knitting of S3 of FIG. 1 is performed after S13 of FIG. In that case, the second pile stitch row 4 of S4 in FIG. 1 can be regarded as the first pile stitch row, and the pile stitch row knitted in S3 of the second time can be regarded as the second pile stitch row. Therefore, in S4, similarly to S3, the end pile loop 71, the additional stitch 70, and the return stitch 72 are knitted outside the end stitch 4E of the second pile stitch row 4 in the knitting width direction. The end pile loop 71 is a pickup stitch formed on the empty needle of the front needle bed FB, and the additional stitch 70 and the return stitch 72 are pickup stitches formed on the empty needle of the back needle bed BB. The turn-up stitch 72 is not essential.

In S5, the yarn feeder 9 is moved leftward, and the first fixed stitch row 5 is knitted. The first fixed stitch row 5 includes fixed stitches 50 continuing in the wale direction of each anchor stitch 30 of S3. The fixing stitch 50 fixes the anchor stitch 30 . Here, the fixed stitch 50 following the end stitch 7 of the first pile stitch row 3 in the wale direction is called the first fixed stitch 8 .

Further in S5, the second fixed stitch 80 and the third fixed stitch 82, which are part of the first fixed stitch row 5, are knitted. The second fixed stitch 80 is a tuck stitch overlapping the additional stitch 70 (the front needle bed FB of S4). The third fixed stitch 82 is a knit stitch continuing in the wale direction of the return stitch 72 (the front needle bed FB of S4).

In S6, the yarn feeder 9 is moved rightward, and the second fixed stitch row 6 is knitted. The second fixed stitch row 6 includes fixed stitches 60 continuing in the wale direction of each anchor stitch 40 of S4. The fixing stitch 60 fixes the anchor stitch 40 . A fixed stitch 60 continuing in the wale direction of the end stitch 7 of the second pile stitch row 4 is particularly called a first fixed stitch 8 .

Further, in S6, the second fixed stitch 80 and the third fixed stitch 82, which are part of the second fixed stitch row 6, are knitted. The second fixed stitch 80 is a tuck stitch overlapping the additional stitch 70 (rear needle bed BB of S4). The third fixed stitch 82 is a knit stitch continuing in the wale direction of the return stitch 72 (rear needle bed BB of S4).

In S7 of FIG. 2, the yarn feeder 9 is moved leftward, and a new first fixed stitch row 5 is knitted following the wale direction of the first fixed stitch row 5 knitted in S5. All the stitches of the new first fixed stitch row 5 are knit stitches. The new first fixed stitch row 5 is for eliminating tuck stitches from the front needle bed FB, thereby facilitating transfer in the knitting course, and is not essential. Here, the third fixed stitch 82 of the new first fixed stitch row 5 is a twist stitch knitted in the direction opposite to the other stitches of the first fixed stitch row 5 .

In S8, the end pile loops 71 are removed from the knitting needles of the back needle bed BB. The end pile loops 71 are in an unlocked state in which they are not locked to the knitting needles. In subsequent S9, a double stitch 85 is formed by overlapping the second fixed stitch 80 of S8 with the first fixed stitch 8. As shown in FIG.

In S10, the yarn feeder 9 is moved rightward, and in S11, a double stitch 86 is formed by overlapping the third fixed stitch 82 with the end stitch of the second fixed stitch row 6. The movement of the yarn feeder 9 in S10 is to prevent the knitting yarn from getting entangled when the third fixed stitch 82 is moved.

After S11, on the back needle bed BB, knitting is performed symmetrically from S7 to S10. As a result, the stitch locked state shown in S12 of FIG. 3 is obtained. When knitting the new second fixed stitch row 6 after S11, the new fixed stitch 60 is knitted following the wale direction of the fixed stitches 60 excluding the double stitches 86 .

At S12 in FIG. 3, the end pile loop 71 is in the non-locked state where it is disengaged from the needle bed, and the standard pile loops 31 and 41 are in the locked state where they are held by the needle bed. In S13, the standard pile loops 31, 41 are removed from the needle beds. The standard pile loops 31, 41, 71 protrude inside the tube of the pile knitted fabric.

After S13, when knitting a knitted fabric portion having pile loops 31, 41, and 71, the first fixed stitch row 5 in S13 is regarded as the first stitch row 1, and the second fixed stitch row 6 is regarded as the second stitch row. 2, and the knitting from S3 in FIG. 1 to S13 in FIG. 3 is repeated.

According to the knitting method of the pile knitted fabric of this example, the end pile loop 71 can be formed at the boundary between the first pile stitch row 3 and the second pile stitch row 4 . Therefore, the boundary between the first pile stitch row 3 and the second pile stitch row 4 does not stand out. Further, according to the knitting method of the pile knitted fabric of this example, the end pile loop 71 is formed between the first pile stitch row 3 and the second pile stitch row 4 without changing the knitting width of the pile knitted fabric. can be formed.

<Embodiment 2>
In Embodiment 1, the additional stitch 70 is knitted on the front needle bed FB on which the first pile stitch row 3 is retained. In Embodiment 2, an example of knitting an additional stitch 70 on the rear needle bed BB on which the second pile stitch row 4 is held will be described with reference to FIG.

In the second embodiment, the second stitch row 2 is moved rightward with respect to the first stitch row 1 from the state of S1. As a result, a non-overlapping region R1 that does not overlap with the left portion of the first stitch row 1 is formed on the back needle bed BB. After the yarn feeder 9 is moved leftward and the first pile stitch row 3 is knitted, the yarn feeder 9 is moved rightward and the second pile stitch row 4 is knitted. At that time, before knitting the second pile stitch row 4, an additional stitch 70 is knitted on the non-overlapping region R1 of the back needle bed BB, and an end pile loop 71 is knitted on the front needle bed FB. Also by the knitting method of the pile knitted fabric of this example, the end pile loop 71 is knitted between the terminal stitch 3E of the first pile stitch row 3 and the starting stitch 4S of the second pile stitch row 4.

<Other embodiments>
The knitting methods of the pile knitted fabric according to Embodiments 1 and 2 can also be implemented by a four-bed flat knitting machine. With a four-bed flat knitting machine, the first pile stitch row 3 and the second pile stitch row 4 can be knitted in a full needle state. The full needle state means that knitting is performed in a state in which there is no empty needle between adjacent stitches. In that case, a pile knitted fabric in which the pile loops 31, 41, 71 are arranged more densely is obtained.

The knitting methods of the pile knitted fabric according to Embodiments 1 and 2 can also be carried out by a flat knitting machine equipped with a pile sinker. In a flat knitting machine equipped with a pile sinker, the first pile stitch row 3 and the first fixed stitch row 5 are knitted at the same time, and the second pile stitch row 4 and the second fixed stitch row 6 are knitted at the same time. In this case, the pile loops 31, 41, 71 are locked to the pile sinker. The pile sinker is configured to move freely toward the tooth gap. Therefore, the pile loops 31, 41, 71 can be removed from the pile sinker by retreating the pile sinker from the tooth gap.

The knitting methods of the pile knitted fabric according to Embodiments 1 and 2 can also be carried out by a flat knitting machine equipped with compound needles. After the first fixed stitch row 5 is knitted, the flat knitting machine having the compound needle knits the first pile stitch so as to overlap the first fixed stitch row 5, as in the conventional technique described with reference to FIG. After the row 3 is knitted and the second fixed stitch row 6 is knitted, the second pile stitch row 4 is knitted in a tubular shape so as to overlap the second fixed stitch row 6. - 特許庁
