DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for binding off the end of a rib knit used for a tubular knitted fabric such as a sock or a supporter, and a rib knitted fabric having a binding off.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, so-called "rib knitting" in which front and back knitting are alternately arranged to give elasticity to a tubular knitted fabric such as a sock or a supporter is, for example, a sock insertion opening for a sock. It is frequently used for parts. Then, at the foot insertion port, which is the terminal end of the rib knitting, the loop hooked on the front and rear knitting needles for rib knitting is transferred to one of the knitting needles, and several courses of sheet knitting “plain knitting” are placed here. After the formation, the flat knitted loop is bound off from one end to the other end.

[0003]

With the flat knitting loop formed at the end of the rib knitting as described above, the flat knitting can be ensured at the rib knitting portion, while the flat knitting loop can secure a large elasticity. If the flat knitted loops with low elasticity and low elasticity are partly covered, the elasticity is further lost.

[0004] Therefore, the sock in which this is carried out does not have elasticity at the insertion opening of the foot, and is not only difficult to wear. There was a problem that it would be bad. Further, in the case where the end portion of the rib-knitted portion is subjected to the end processing by overlock, there is a problem that the thickness of the overlock portion is large and the appearance thereof is poor, so that the commercial value is reduced.

In order to solve such a problem, it has been practiced to double the rib insertion portion of the foot insertion opening to double the insertion opening portion of the foot. There is a problem that the thickness of the portion is large, the appearance is poor, and the feeling of wearing is impaired. In addition, since the insertion opening portion of the foot is folded twice, the material cost is increased to knit the double folded portion.

In addition, it takes a lot of time to produce socks for knitting the double-folded portion, and the folded end is sewn to the inner surface of the foot insertion opening by scooping or the like. Therefore, there is a problem in that productivity is also reduced because additional work for sewing such as scooping is required. The present invention has been proposed in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to be able to carry out bind-off processing in a state of rich elasticity at low cost without impairing the elasticity of rib knitting. Is what you do.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a bind-off knitted fabric according to the present invention comprises a knitting needle.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a rib-knitted fabric and a rib-binding method according to the present invention; The flat knitting machine used in this example is
A needle bed on which two knitting needles to be described later are mounted so as to be able to advance and retreat is arranged in front and rear in a “C” shape in a side view in a state where the teeth are close to each other, and the upper surface of each needle bed is slid. The knitting needles are moved forward and backward by the moving carriage, and the front and rear needle beds are relatively movable (racking). The two knitting needles mounted on the front and rear needle beds are positioned between the sinkers. A knitting needle for knitting and an empty needle for transfer are mounted so as to be able to move forward and backward.

This embodiment uses a flat knitting machine, which has five finger pockets at the toes as shown in FIG. 1, and is formed symmetrically for the right foot and the left foot with heels. In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates the sock as a whole. This sock 1 feeds a yarn feeder (not shown) to a carriage, feeds a knitting yarn in a zigzag manner over the knitting needles of a needle bed in front and behind of a flat knitting machine, and feeds a toe of a finger bag 2 for a thumb. Has been devised from the part.

After the thumb pockets 2 are set up, finger pockets 3 and 4 for the middle finger and the middle finger are formed, and these finger pockets 2 and 3 for the thumb, the middle finger and the middle finger are formed. A so-called “three-barrel” portion 5 obtained by combining the four is formed in a predetermined course. And
A finger bag 6 for the ring finger is knitted, and a so-called "four-body" portion 7 obtained by combining the finger bag 6 for the ring finger and the "three-body" portion 5 is formed in a predetermined course. The bag 8 is knitted from its toe side, and the so-called "five-body" portion 9 in which the "four-body" portion 7 and the finger pocket 8 for the little finger are knitted into one tubular knitted fabric is further formed into a predetermined course. Then, the arch reaches part 10.

After the shank portion 10 and the heel portion 11 and the ankle portion 12 are formed from the "five torso" portion 9 and the heel portion 11 and the ankle portion 12 are formed, the calf shin portion 13 is formed in a substantially straight cylindrical shape. The foot insertion opening portion 14 serving as the upper end of the knitting 1 is knitted and formed. The foot insertion opening portion 14 is knitted by 1 × 1 rib knitting, and the upper end portion is formed by performing a bind-off process by a knitting course described later.

Next, the bind-off processing of the upper end portion of the foot insertion port portion 14 will be described. Symbols in the drawings used in FIG. 3 and thereafter will be described with reference to FIG. The English letters shown in FIG.
The symbols of the knitting needles for the group and the empty needles for the transfer are shown. Of the four squares, the front side (lower side in the figure) is the front side needle bed, and the left side is the knitting needles for the knitting (hereinafter simply referred to as the knitting needles). The knitting needle of the front needle bed is knitted on the back side of the sock in this example.

Out of the four squares, the back side (upper side in the figure) is a rear needle bed, and the left side is an empty needle for transfer, and the right side is a knitting needle for knit (hereinafter simply referred to as a knitting needle). ), And the knitting needle of the rear needle bed is used to knit the front side of the sock (the instep side). And FIG. 3 shows 1 × 1 just before the bind-off process is performed.
The knitted course of the rib knitting is so shown that the knitted fabric on the front side of the sock is divided into the upper row and the knitted fabric on the back side of the sock is divided into the lower row for convenience.

In FIG. 4, the front knitting needles A, C, E, and E in the rib knitted fabric on the back side of the sock hanging over the front and rear knitting needles.
..The loop hooked on the knitting needles A, C, E on the rear side
And the loop hooked on the front knitting needles A, C, E,... In the rib knitted fabric on the back side of the sock is transferred to the rear knitting needles A, C, E,. FIGS. 5 to 8 show the procedure of the bind-off processing of the rib knitted fabric on the back side of the sock. In FIG. 5, the loop hooked on the knitting needle T at the right end of the rib knitted fabric on the back side of the sock is shown. Needle T on the side needle bed
After the transfer, the rear needle bed is moved one pitch to the left in FIG. 6 in the direction in which the transferred loop overlaps the front knitting needle S adjacent before the transfer.

In FIG. 7, the loop of the knitting needles T whose rear knitting needles T have been transferred to the bed is transferred to the front knitting needles S so that the front knitting needles S are locked with two loops.
In FIG. 8, when a new loop is formed on the front knitting needle S on which the two loops are hooked, the loop of the front knitting needle T in FIG. 5 to 8 are sequentially repeated, the loop of the rib knitted fabric on the back side of the sock is bound from right to left.

Next, FIGS. 9 to 18 show the procedure of binding off the rib knitted fabric on the front side of the sock. In FIG. 9, the ribs on the front side of the sock transferred to the rear knitting needle shown in the lower part of FIG. At the left end of the knitted fabric, a loop by tack is formed between the rear transfer empty needle A and the front knitting needle A, and the loop of the rear transfer empty needle A is transferred to the front knitting needle A in FIG. Two loops are hooked on the knitting needle A on the front side.

In FIG. 11, a new loop is formed by feeding yarn to the knitting needle A on the front side where two loops are hooked.
In 2, the front knitting needle A on which the new loop is formed faces the rear knitting needle A, and the loop of the front knitting needle A is transferred to the rear knitting needle A in FIG.

A new loop is formed in the rear knitting needle A in which the loop is double hooked in FIG. 14, and this loop is transferred to the front transfer empty needle A in FIG. After moving the needle bed on the left side one pitch to the left and the empty needle for transfer on the front side one pitch to the right,
In FIG. 17, the loop of the transfer empty needle A on the front side is transferred to the knitting needle B on the rear side so that the two loops are hooked on the knitting needle B on the rear side.

When a new loop is formed on the knitting needle B on the rear side in FIG. 18, the loop of the lower knitting needle A in FIG. 4 is in a transferred state. At this time, FIGS.
The loop formed by tacking is for securing the yarn length because the portion becomes a transition portion between the front body and the back body, and the thread forming a new loop for performing the bind-off processing It may be omitted depending on a stretchable yarn such as FTY or wooly nylon, or a combination thereof.

By repeating FIGS. 15 to 18 appropriately, the loop of the rib knitted fabric on the front side of the sock is bound from left to right, and when the sock 1 is brushed off from the flat knitting machine, the sock 1 is removed. It is completed.

In the sock 1 formed as described above, the loop at the upper end portion (end portion of the knitted fabric) of the 1 × 1 rib knitting forming the foot insertion opening portion 14 is directly bound off. Therefore, the bind-off portion also expands and contracts following the elasticity of the rib knit. In the above-described embodiment, a flat knitting machine having a structure in which a knitting needle for knitting and an empty needle for transfer are slidably mounted between sinkers is used, but a transfer jack is advanced and retracted above the front and rear needle beds. Of course, the present invention can also be implemented in a device provided with a transfer jack bed slidably accommodated.

Although the foot insertion port portion 14 is formed by 1 × 1 rib knitting, the rib knitting is 2 × 1 or 2 × 1.
In the case of so-called “wide rib knitting” such as × 2, it is desirable to form a 1 × 1 rib knit at that portion before performing the bind-off processing. Because "wide rib knitting"
In the case of (1), the wide portion becomes a bind-off due to flat knitting, and the elasticity is greatly reduced.

Further, the knitting yarn to be subjected to the bind-off processing may be a ground yarn knitting another knitted fabric portion, or FTY
Alternatively, a stretchable yarn such as wooly nylon, or a combination thereof can be used as a knitting yarn exclusively for binding off. Further, the present invention is not limited to socks with fingers as in the above-described embodiment, but also includes rounded socks, gloves, tights, spats, wristbands and supporters, bellybands, underwear, tights and supporters, wristbands, etc. Needless to say, the present invention can be applied to a tubular knitted fabric such as.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the bind-off treatment is performed from one end of the needle bed to the other end. Needless to say, the binding processing can be sequentially performed from the place.

In the above embodiment, the sock as an example of a tubular knitted fabric is described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to a tubular rib knitted fabric, and a non-cylindrical knitted fabric, for example, a handkerchief. Needless to say, it can be applied to a single piece of rib knitted fabric such as towels and towels.

[0027]

As described above, the present invention relates to a rib knitted fabric knitted using the front and rear knitting needles of a flat knitting machine provided with at least a pair of needle beds facing each other. Each of the outer knitting loop and the back knitting loop at the end portion of the knitted fabric is directly subjected to the bind-off processing, and the bind-off processing is performed along the outer knitting loop and the back knitting loop. The bind-off part expands and contracts with the rib.

Accordingly, the elasticity of the rib knit is prevented from being impaired. Thus, when the present invention is applied to, for example, a foot insertion port portion of a sock or the like, elasticity at the foot insertion port can be ensured, and not only is it easy to wear, but also at the time of wearing, a local portion at the foot insertion port as in the past. There is an advantage that a strong tightening can be eliminated and a good feeling of wearing can be obtained.

Further, in the present invention, since the elasticity at the foot insertion port can be sufficiently ensured, it is not necessary to fold the rib insertion portion of the foot insertion port to double the foot insertion port portion, Resolving problems such as increasing the thickness of the folded part due to the double insertion opening part of the foot, impairing the feeling of wearing, and increasing the material cost due to knitting the double folded part Can be.

Further, in the present invention, since it is not necessary to double the insertion portion of the foot, the knitting time for the production of socks is required to knit the double-folded portion. There is also an advantage that the conventional problem that the performance is reduced can be solved.
