Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a knitted fabric which is formed in a quadruple structure by forming a skirt, sleeves or collars of a sweater into a double and knitting in a tubular shape, and a knitting method thereof.

[0002]

Most of clothes such as sweaters are knitted by using a flat knitting machine. In such clothes, for example, sweaters, the front body, the back body, and the sleeves are knitted as separate knitted fabrics. After being sewn, it is not sewn in the sewing process until it becomes a sweater mold. However, since the sewing of each member is performed manually by this sewing process,
There was a problem that productivity was bad. Furthermore, since the work itself in the sewing process is fine and complicated and requires skill, it is difficult to secure human resources, and a shortage of manpower is progressing, which is becoming a serious problem. Therefore, recently, for the purpose of labor saving of the above-mentioned sewing work, or for the purpose of producing a knit product having no seams and a high added value, the conventional sewing has been relied upon during the knitting process using a flat knitting machine. A knitting method called so-called integral garment or whole garment, in which even parts can be knitted and sewing can be omitted, has been attracting attention.

The invention of the present applicant relating to the above integral garment or whole garment is Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-
In Japanese Patent Publication No. 16413 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-16415, for example, in the case of a knit product such as a sweater, knitting is started from the hem rubber portion, and then the body portion is knitted. Also, a knitting method is disclosed in which the body portion is knitted in a circular manner so as to have a tubular shape, and thus the sewing of the front body and the back body by sewing, which has been conventionally required, is unnecessary.

[0004]

However, depending on the product, even in a sweater, the length of the hem rubber portion is doubled in order to make the hem rubber portion firm, to obtain a high degree of tightening force, or to improve the appearance. After knitting so that
It is necessary to fold the set-up portion of the hem rubber knitted in the sewing process inward and fold it over the end of the knitting of the hem rubber, and sew it all over the hem width with a sewing machine to finish it into the desired product. The process is needed. Of course, this is not limited to the hem rubber portion in the above example, the same work is required when it is performed on a cuff or a collar portion, and improvement of the work is required. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to woven knitting a front body and a back body of clothes such as a sweater, and to provide two end edges such as a hem portion, a cuff portion, and a collar portion of the knitted fabric. An object of the present invention is to provide a knitted fabric having a quadruple structure and a method for knitting the knitted fabric, which allows folding of the knitted fabric to be substantially completely omitted.

In order to achieve the above object, a knitting method of a knitted fabric having a quadruple structure according to the present invention comprises:

Also, while knitting the tubular body part by an appropriate method, separately knit the collar part of the sweater by the method as shown above, for example, knit the collar part by knitting the turtleneck collar from the tip end side of the collar part. After forming the ground, it is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 2-251148, which is a prior application of the present applicant, "method of connecting and knitting tubular knitted fabric and tubular knitted fabric in which ends are knitted in a knitted state". It is also possible to manufacture a product by connecting the tubular body woven separately and the collar of the turtleneck by carrying out the method described above, and it can be carried out within the scope of the knitting method of the present invention. Is. Further, in the above embodiment, the hem rubber portion is knitted with one knitting yarn and is knitted into a tubular shape, but the knitted fabrics of the front and back parts of this portion are knitted with separate knitting yarns, respectively. Of course, this portion may be subsequently sewn with an overlock sewing machine.

[0013]

As shown in the examples, by performing the knitting method of the present invention, not only the front and back bodies of clothes such as sweaters are knitted into a tubular shape, but also the hem rubber portion of the knitted fabric, the cuffs, Since the collar and other parts can be knitted in a tubular shape on the front and back, respectively, the hem rubber part, cuffs, and collar parts are firm and have a high degree of tightening force in a dictionary that has been knitted, and has a beautiful appearance. Will be presented. Furthermore, after knitting so that the length of the part is doubled as usual, it is not necessary to fold the knitted fabric in half and perform a troublesome conventional sewing work over the entire knitting width. There is an advantage that it can be omitted completely and its productivity can be greatly improved. in addition,
Since there is no need to perform the troublesome conventional sewing work,
Since the knitting process can be omitted, there is an advantage that manpower can be reduced.
