DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for knitting socks and the like. Here, the socks and the like according to the present invention are:
Not only original socks with a cylindrical shape from the toe to the upper part of the ankle, but also two types of legs, such as tights, with the upper ends of the legs formed into a cylindrical shape and the middle part between the fingertip and the arch. Up to a short toe cover.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Socks are generally referred to as so-called conventional "socks" in which five fingers such as thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger are collectively stored in one bag. "Finger socks" are known in which each of the five fingers is placed in a finger pocket or the thumb and other fingers are placed in separate finger pockets.

[0003] When knitting these socks and the like, there are a knitting method of knitting from a toe side portion and a knitting method of knitting from a leg insertion port side portion. In each case, a root portion of the five fingers of a leg, It has a width of a so-called "five body" and is formed in a straight cylindrical shape up to the leg insertion opening.

[0004]

In a general sock, a small-diameter tubular portion, that is, a straight tubular knitted fabric with the number of loops of the arch portion is formed. The number of loops to be performed is insufficient, and each finger bag has a small diameter, so that it is difficult to wear it tightly, and there is a problem that not only the comfort is poor but also the commercial value is reduced.

Therefore, it has been considered that the diameter of the base portion of the finger sack is increased to increase the number of loops of each finger sack, and a rubber thread is inserted through the portion in order to fit the shank of the arch. There is also a problem that the rubber thread is not only uncomfortable but also expensive.

Further, in order to secure the number of loops for forming each finger bag of a five-fingered sock, for example, as shown in FIGS. 32 to 34, for example, before and after knitting the finger bag 2 for the thumb 13 The knitting needles c and d of each needle bed are shared as knitting needles for knitting the finger bag 3 for indexing, and the loop formed by knitting the preceding finger bag is held down by a so-called "razor" provided on the knitting machine. While the knitting of the succeeding finger sack is completed, the number of loops of each finger sack is increased as much as possible within the number of loops of the “five-body” portion while preventing the knitting needle from coming off from the knitting needle. There is also one that reinforces the base and adjusts the distance between the fingers of the legs. However, the number of loops in each finger pocket is limited by the number of loops in the “five-body” part, and such ingenuity is devised. Does not contribute to the improvement of the fit to the above-mentioned arch part at all Problem remains.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a method for knitting socks and the like according to the present invention uses a flat knitting machine having a pair of needle beds opposed to each other in the front and rear directions. A sock or the like formed by feeding a knitting yarn in a zigzag manner over a knitting needle and knitting a finger pouch or toe portion, and then forming a tubular shape from the finger pouch or toe portion to the leg insertion opening by orbital knitting. In the knitting method, the thumb finger
The bag, index finger bag and middle finger bag are knitted into a tubular shape respectively.
After that, the adjacent base of each finger bag is joined or polymerized.
And the base of each joined or superimposed finger sack
After forming a cylindrical three-body knitted fabric in
Four-body body containing a ring bag for a ring finger
Knitted fabric of a predetermined course, and further knit a finger bag for a little finger
And knit a five-body knitted fabric containing this little finger pocket
At the same time, of the loops at both ends of the needle bed before and after knitting the five-body cylindrical knitted fabric, at least one end side loop is transferred from one knitting needle to the other knitting needle loop and overlapped. By forming a new loop in the double loop that has been made, the number of loops of the tubular knitted fabric is reduced, and the shank of the arch part narrowed from the base of the five fingers is knitted. Is what you do.

[0008] Further, using a flat knitting machine having a pair of needle beds opposed to each other in the front and rear direction, a circular knitting fabric is formed around the front and rear needle beds to form a cylindrical knitted fabric on the leg insertion port side. In the method of knitting socks, etc., where the ground is knitted from the leg insertion port to the toe, both ends of the needle bed before and after knitting the arch, from the arch to the base of the five fingers Of the loops of the section, at least one of the loops on one end side is also hooked on the empty needle of the needle bed on the side facing the knitting needle on which it is hooked, and the yarn is fed to both knitting needles and By forming a loop, the number of loops of the tubular knitted fabric is increased to form a tubular knitted fabric at the base of the five fingers, and the tubular knitting of the five-body body
After knitting the finger pocket for the little finger from the ground,
After knitting the main body, knitting yarn is fed around the tubular knitted fabric
To form a three-body, and from this three-body
One of the features is that the finger pocket and the thumb pocket are knitted .

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, a method for knitting socks and the like according to the present invention uses a flat knitting machine having a pair of needle beds opposed to each other in the front and rear directions. A sock or the like formed by feeding a knitting yarn in a zigzag manner over a knitting needle and knitting a finger pouch or toe portion, and then forming a tubular shape from the finger pouch or toe portion to the leg insertion opening by orbital knitting. In the knitting method, of the loops at both ends of the needle bed before and after knitting the tubular knitted fabric of the base of the five fingers knitted from the toe portion,
At least one end loop is transferred from one knitting needle to the other knitting needle and overlapped, and a new loop is formed in the overlapped double loop to reduce the number of loops in the tubular knitted fabric. The present invention is characterized in that the constriction of the arch part narrowed from the base of the finger is knitted.

[0010] Further, using a flat knitting machine having a pair of needle beds opposed to each other in the front and rear direction, a circular knitting fabric is formed between the front and rear needle beds to form a tubular knitted fabric on the leg insertion port side. In the method of knitting socks, etc., where the ground is knitted from the leg insertion port to the toe, both ends of the needle bed before and after knitting the arch, from the arch to the base of the five fingers Of the loops of the section, at least one of the loops on one end side is also hooked on the empty needle of the needle bed on the side facing the knitting needle on which it is hooked, and the yarn is fed to both knitting needles and One of the features is that the number of loops of the tubular knitted fabric is increased by forming the loop to form a tubular knitted fabric at the base of the five fingers.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a sock knitting method according to an embodiment of the present invention; <Embodiment 1> In this embodiment, a sock with five fingers as shown in FIG. 1 is knitted, and reference numeral 1 in the figure generally indicates a sock with five fingers.

This sock 1 with fingers is a finger bag 2 for the thumb, a finger bag 3 for the index finger, a finger bag 4 for the middle finger, a finger bag 5 for the ring finger, and a finger bag 6 for the little finger, which are knitted from the toe portion. And each finger bag of
The toe side portion 7 of the instep (so-called “five torso”) knitted into one tubular knitted fabric by uniting the finger bags 2 to 6, and an arch formed from the toe side portion 7 of the instep. After forming the part 8, the heel part 9 and the ankle part 10, the leg insertion opening 11 is formed at the upper end.

Next, an example of a method of knitting the sock 1 with fingers using a flat knitting machine (not shown) will be described with reference to a knitting course diagram shown in FIG. First, the flatbed knitting machine is provided with a needle bed in which a knitting needle is slidably inserted and arranged in front and rear in a "C" shape in a side view with its teeth close to each other. A known structure is used in which a knitting needle is moved forward and backward by a sliding carriage, and the front and rear needle beds are relatively movable (racking).

In the knitting course diagrams shown in FIG. 2 and subsequent figures, the upper and lower alphabets indicate the knitting needles of the front needle bed,
The upper alphabets indicate the knitting needles of the rear needle bed, respectively, and the state of FIG. 2 in which the positions of the front needle bed and the rear needle bed are aligned is set as the reference position.
In FIG. 2, the knitting needles en to n of the front and rear needle beds are supplied in a zigzag manner to set up the toe portion for the thumb.
After the yarn is fed to the knitting needles en to n of the front needle bed to form a loop, the yarn is fed to the knitting needles ne to e of the rear needle bed to form a loop. The round course shown in FIG. 3 is repeated a suitable number of times to form a thumb pocket 2 having a predetermined length.

When the finger pocket 2 for the thumb is formed, the knitting needles X to d of the front and rear needle beds are fed in a zigzag manner in FIG. 4 to set up the toe portion for the index finger, and in FIG. After the yarn is fed to the knitting needles X to d of the needle bed to form a loop, the yarn is fed to the knitting needles d to X of the rear needle bed to form a loop. The loop course shown in FIG. 5 is repeated as appropriate to form the finger pocket 3 for the forefinger.

Subsequently, in FIG. 6, the knitting needles Q to W of the front and rear needle beds are supplied by zigzag feeding to the knitting needles Q to W of the front and rear needle beds.
W, W to Q are supplied in a circulating manner to form loops respectively, and the circulating course of FIG. 7 is repeated as appropriate to form the middle finger pocket 4. When the finger bags 2, 3, and 4 from the thumb to the middle finger are formed in this way, as shown in FIG. 8, the knitting needles Q to n and n to Q of the front and rear needle beds are fed in a circular shape so that the thumb and the index finger are fed. , Each finger bag 2.3 to the middle finger
-One cylindrical knitted fabric uniting the four base portions, a so-called "three-barrel" 12, is formed.

As shown in FIG. 9, the three torso is such that the ring finger 16 of the five fingers 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 of the leg is one step lower than the thumb 13 to the middle finger 15. Therefore, when the three trunks 12 are formed here, the three trunks 12 fit into the stepped portion 18 between the middle finger 15 and the ring finger 16. In FIG. 10, the knitting needles J to P of each of the front and rear needle beds are supplied in a zigzag manner, and
The toe portion of the finger bag 5 is set up, and the yarn is fed to the knitting needles J to P of the front needle bed in FIG. 11 to form a loop, and then the yarn is fed to the knitting needles P to J of the rear needle bed. A loop is formed, and the loop course of FIG. 11 is repeated as appropriate to form the finger bag 5 of the ring finger 16.

When the finger pouch of the ring finger is knitted to a predetermined length, the knitting needles J to n, n of the front and rear needle beds in FIG.
To J, a so-called "four-body" tubular knitted fabric is formed by adding the finger bag 5 of the ring finger 16 to the three-body.
When the four drums are knitted to a predetermined length, the knitting needles CI of the front and rear needle beds are fed in a zigzag manner to set up the toe portion of the ring finger 16 in FIG. The knitting needles CI to IC of the needle bed are supplied to the knitting needles CI to IC in a circular fashion to form a loop, and the loop knitting course is repeated a suitable number of times to form the finger pocket 6 of the little finger 17.

After the five finger bags 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are formed in this way, as shown in FIG. 15, these are wrapped around the knitting needles C to n and n to C of the front and rear needle beds. The knitted fabric is knitted into a so-called “five-body” (the base of the finger) 7 in which the finger bag 6 of the little finger 17 is added to the four-body. This figure 1
When the circular knitting of No. 5 is performed in a predetermined course and the arch portion 8 is confined from the base of the finger of the leg, as shown in FIG. 16, the loop of the knitting needle n on the thumb 13 side of the rear needle bed is moved to the front needle bed. Of the knitting needle n shown in FIG.
When a loop is formed in a loop by feeding the knitting needles C to n of the front needle bed and the needle beds m to C of the rear side in a circular manner, the loop on the thumb 13 side is reduced by one stitch from FIG. Become.

Further, in FIG. 18, the loop of the knitting needle n of the front needle bed is moved to the knitting needle m of the rear needle bed by moving (racking) the rear needle bed one pitch to the right from the reference position. When the loops are formed in a loop by overlapping the knitting needles C to l of the front needle bed and the needle beds m to C of the rear side in FIG. It will be in a reduced state.

Further, in FIG. 20, the rear needle bed is moved one pitch to the left from the reference position, and the loop of the knitting needle m of the rear needle bed is moved to the knitting needle 1 of the front needle bed and is superposed. Then, in FIG. 21, the knitting needles C to 1 on the front needle bed and the needle beds 1 to C on the rear side are fed in a circular manner to form a loop in a cylindrical shape. It will be in a reduced state.

In this way, the loop on the thumb side is gradually reduced in accordance with the constriction of the arch, and when the heel is formed, the knitting needles Cl of the needle bed on the rear side in FIG. And the knitting yarn tacked to the knitting needle C of the front needle bed is supplied to the knitting needles D to k.
After a loop is formed in the knitting needles D to k, the knitting yarn is tacked to the knitting needle 1 of the front needle bed. In FIG. 23, the knitting yarn tacked to the knitting needle k of the front needle bed is replaced with knitting needles j to j.
After the yarn is supplied to E and a loop is formed in the knitting needles j to E, the knitting yarn is tacked to the knitting needle D.

While repeating such knitting, the knitting yarn is tacked on the knitting needles M and b of the needle bed on the front side in FIG. 25 through FIG. 24 to form a loop on the knitting needles N-a. Knitting needles M to b of front needle bed
And the knitting needle k of the rear needle bed
To D to form a loop. In FIG. 27, the knitting needles L to c of the front needle bed and the knitting needles k to D of the rear needle bed are supplied to form a loop. You.

The knitting as shown in FIGS. 26 and 27 is repeated to gradually knit the tubular knitted fabric of the heel portion, and loops are formed by the knitting needles C to n of the front and rear needle beds as shown in FIG. Then, the knitting of FIG. 28 is repeated to knit up to the leg insertion opening 11 of the sock. Here, when the knitted fabric is removed from the knitting needles of the front and rear needle beds,
The knitting of socks with five fingers and an arched shape, wide and easy to wear, is completed.

In the above embodiment, the loop on the thumb side is reduced. For example, as shown in FIGS. 29 to 31, the loop of the knitting needles C and n at both ends of the front needle bed is reduced. Knitting needle D on the rear needle bed
Needless to say, the number of loops may be reduced by shifting to m and superimposing and forming a new loop here.

[0026] In addition, knitting is performed from the heel portion to the leg insertion port while the number of loops is reduced with the arch,
If the loop reduced by the arch is increased again by an increasing means such as splitting at the heel portion, a more comfortable sock or the like can be obtained. In addition, the knitting yarn forming each finger bag is made thinner than the knitting yarn of the tubular knitted fabric portion from the base of the finger to the leg insertion port, or the degree of each finger bag is increased, and When the thickness is reduced, the area from the thumb to the little finger is not bulky, which is effective in improving the comfort and improving the appearance of socks and the like.

<Embodiment 2> Although this embodiment is not shown, contrary to the above-described embodiment 1, the finger pockets 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 of the toe are set out from the leg insertion opening 11 of the sock and terminated. It is organized so that it becomes. In other words, the knitting yarn is supplied while being circulated over the front and back needle beds, and the supplied knitting yarn is held down by a “sinker” or “stitch presser”, and then the knitting yarn is further circulated and supplied to form a loop. Then, the leg insertion opening 11 of the sock is set up.

The leg insertion opening 11 of the sock is set up and the ankle 10
, The heel 9 is formed from the side of the ankle 10 toward the arch 8 in a manner substantially similar to the knitting courses of FIGS. 22 to 28 in the first embodiment. Then, the number of loops forming the arch between the five trunks of the base of the five fingers from the arch is increased. When increasing the number of loops, for example, the loop hooked on the knitting needle m of the front needle bed in FIG. 31 is also hooked on the knitting needle n of the rear needle bed at the same time, and goes around these knitting needles m and n. The number of loops for knitting the arch is increased by so-called “split increase” in which loops are formed by supplying knitting yarns.

In this way, the number of loops forming the arch portion is gradually increased to form a five body at the base of the five fingers. When the five body part is knitted, the five finger pockets are formed. It is organized. For example, when a finger pouch of a little finger is formed from the five body parts, first, knitting needles for forming the finger pouch (knitting needles C to C of the needle bed before and after in FIG. 14).
The tubular knitted fabric for the finger pocket 6 of the little finger 17 was formed by the knitting yarn fed in a circular shape in I), and the tubular knitted fabric for the finger pocket 6 of the little finger 17 was knitted at the toe side end. After transferring the loop of the knitting needles of the front and rear needle beds to the knitting needle of one of the needle beds and superimposing them, forming a new loop here,
The new loop is moved to the adjacent horizontal loop and superimposed to form a loop by superimposing the loops sequentially, thereby removing the tubular knitted fabric for the finger pocket of the little finger from the knitting needle.

When each finger sack is formed in substantially the same manner as the knitting of the finger sack 6 of the little finger 17, the base of the finger sack can be made large while the arch 8 is constricted, so that the finger width is wide. A five-fingered sock is formed where the fingers are easy to enter and wear in each finger pocket.

In each of the above embodiments, a five-fingered sock is described as an example. However, the present invention can of course be practiced on fingerless socks or short ones from the tiptoe to the middle of the arch. Yes, the present invention is not limited to socks that extend from the toe to the shin above the ankle, and the leg insertion opening is opened at the position of the thigh, and the left and right over knees are connected in a single cylindrical shape above the lower knee. It is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to tights formed with.

[0032]

As described above, the present invention has a large diameter with a large number of loops at the base of the five fingers, regardless of whether it is knitted from the toe side or knitted from the leg insertion port side. In the arch, the number of loops is small and the diameter is small so that it can be knitted,
There is an advantage that when wearing a sock or the like knitted according to the method of the present invention, a sock having a comfortable fit and a high commercial value, which is appropriately fitted to the base of the five fingers and the arch, can be produced.

In addition, since the arch portion can be formed of the same knitting yarn as the other knitted fabric, there is no sense of incongruity as compared with the case where a rubber thread is inserted through the arch portion, and the cost is reduced because no rubber thread is used. There is also the advantage of being able to do it.

In addition, a sufficient number of loops can be secured at the base of the five fingers, and a necessary number of loops for knitting each finger bag of the finger sock can be secured. In this respect, there is also an advantage that socks and the like with good comfort and high commercial value can be produced.

In the present invention, when forming each finger bag of a sock with a finger, each finger bag is knitted at an independent place of the needle bed, and is transferred to a needle bed for racking the finger bag to be moved. The bed is racked so that the ends of the finger pockets can be moved close to each other or a part thereof can be overlapped, so that the loop in which the preceding finger pockets are overlapped as in the related art is formed by the knitting of the subsequent finger pockets. And the pressed loop is constantly rubbed by the knitting needles that come and go with knitting of the following finger bag, which greatly reduces the durability of the knitting yarn in that part. There is also an advantage that it can be prevented beforehand.
