2. Description of the Related Art It has been proposed to knit a knitted product such as a sweater as a tubular knitted fabric connecting a front body and a back body. In this method, the left and right sleeves are knitted simultaneously with the body. In the course of connecting the sleeves to the body, the sleeves are moved to the body side, and the sleeves are connected to the body. Thereafter, if necessary, the portion from the shoulder to the neck is knitted as one tubular knitted fabric, and the stitch of the front body and the stitch of the back body are connected at the shoulder to prevent unraveling. This eliminates the need for a sewing operation after completion of knitting. However, the knitted fabric knitted in this manner must satisfy conditions such as durability that can be worn many times, design that is beautiful in appearance, and good comfort. Therefore, a knitting method that satisfies these conditions is required. In particular, in such a knitting technique, for example, it is necessary to connect the front body and the back body at the shoulder of the sweater to apply a release. As such a bind-off method, the applicant has disclosed Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 4-209855 and Japanese Patent Application No. 7-8369.
5 applications. Here, the knitting of clothing is taken as an example, but the necessity of a sleek stitch is not limited to clothing.

In JP-A-4-209855, the front body and the back body are knitted using the front and rear needle beds. After that, using the yarn feeder used for knitting of the front body and the yarn feeder used for knitting of the back body, the knitting yarn from the knitted fabric to each yarn Repeatedly stitches around the back and back stitches. The knitted fabric bound down by this knitting method is connected by a knitting yarn in which the front and rear knitted fabrics intersect. For this reason, there is no protrusion of the binding part, and the binding part does not become hard.

In Japanese Patent Application No. 7-83695, when the stitches of the front knitted fabric and the stitches of the rear knitted fabric are overlapped, each stitch is temporarily transferred to the needle on the opposing needle bed. Thereafter, one of the stitches is transferred again, one stitch is overlapped with the other stitch, and a stitch is formed thereon. In this way, the protruding portion of the binding portion is suppressed.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a completed sweater 1 in a completed state. The sweater 1 uses the needles in a plurality of areas on the needle bed, and knits the body 2, 3 and both the left and right sleeves 4, 5 as a tubular knitted fabric. Thereafter, the left and right sleeves 4 and 5 are moved to the bodies 2 and 3 and connected to the bodies 2 and 3.
When the connection between the left and right sleeves 4, 5 and the bodies 2, 3 is completed, the front body 2 and the rear body 3 are connected at both ends as shown in FIG. But the shoulders are not connected. The stitches of the right front shoulder portion 7a and the left front shoulder portion 8a are locked to the needle of the front bed F with the opening 6 for the collar interposed therebetween, and the needle of the rear bed B corresponds to the opening 6 for the neck collar. The stitches of the right back shoulder 7b and the left back shoulder 8b are locked with the back collar 9 interposed therebetween. The composition up to this point is known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-15301.

The right front shoulder 7a and the right rear shoulder 7b and the left front shoulder 8a and the left rear shoulder 8b are connected to prevent loosening. The knitting of the right shoulder 7 and the left shoulder 8 is bilaterally symmetric. For this reason,
Hereinafter, the binding off of the left shoulder 8 will be described. The left front shoulder 8a is referred to as a front knitted fabric 10a, and the left rear shoulder 8b is referred to as a back knitted fabric 10b.
The description will be made with the number of needles reduced from the actual number. The present invention is implemented by a flat knitting machine in which at least two needle beds, such as two or four needle beds, are arranged in front and rear facing each other, and at least one of the front and rear needle beds can slide left and right. In the present embodiment, a two-bed flat knitting machine is used, and only the rear bed can slide left and right. In the present embodiment, since a tubular knitted fabric is formed and knitted by a two-bed flat knitting machine, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-75656, an odd-numbered needle is attached to a front knit, for example, in a front knit. The ground needle is used, and the even-numbered needles are used, for example, for the knitted fabric. However, when a four-bed flat knitting machine is used, such restrictions on the odd-numbered needles and the even-numbered needles do not occur.

First, the first embodiment will be described with reference to knitting course diagrams shown in FIGS. The knitted fabric is shown in FIG. In the course 3-1 in FIG. 3, the yarn feeder 11 movable in the needle bed longitudinal direction is moved rightward on the tooth gap between the front and rear needle beds, and the needles B, D, and F of the front bed F are moved from the yarn feeder 11 to the right.・ H ・ J

This is the preparation for crossing the stitches 19 of FIG.

[0018] Next, in the course 5-3, and transferred onto the needle G of the front bed F that faces the stitches 13B, overlaying the stitch 15
Then, the stitch 13B winds up and down the knitting yarns on both sides of the stitch 18
Over the stitch 15 . Then, in course 5-4, the yarn feeder 11 is moved to the left to feed yarn to the needle G of the front bed F, and the stitch 19 is formed. Thereby, stitches 14 and 12
The stitch 18 is formed on B, the stitch 19 is formed on the stitches 15 and 13B, and the stitches 14 and 15 are held in an intersecting state. Further, in this manner, the back knitted fabric 10b is also bound off. Next, in course 5-5, the stitch 19 is transferred to the needle g of the rear bed B. And on course 5-6, rear bed B
After two pitch racking to the left, the stitch 19 is transferred to the needle E of the front bed F. As a result, stitches 18 and 19
Intersect. Thereafter, the knitting of the courses 4-5 to 5-6 is repeated, and the front knitted fabric 10a and the rear knitted fabric 10b are connected one by one to stop the knitting.

FIG. 6 shows the knitted fabric bound in the above-described steps. Stitches 12A-E of front knitted fabric 10a and rear knitted fabric 10
The stitches 13A-E of b are bound off. The stitch 14 crosses the stitch 15 and the stitch 18 crosses the stitch 19.
The stitch 14 is overlapped with the stitch 12B, and the stitch 18 is overlapped with the stitch 12C. Similarly, stitch 15 is stitch 13
B, and the stitch 19 is overlapped with the stitch 13C. The stitches 14 and 18 are formed by the back bed B, and stitch 1
5 and 19 are formed by the front bed F. Therefore stitch 1
4, 18, 15, and 19 sneak under the front knitted fabric or the back knitted fabric. The stitch 14 and the stitch 15 intersect, and the stitch 18 and the stitch 19
Also intersect, and these stitches are drawn in the direction of sneaking under the front knitted fabric or the back knitted fabric. Along with this, the stitches 12A-E and the stitches 13A-E are also pulled toward the bottom of the knitted fabric (the back of the cylinder), and the stitched portions do not rise. Also, even if the stitches are pulled when worn at the stage of the product, stitches 14, 15, 18, 19
Is pulled in the direction of sinking into the back of the garment (the back of the cylinder), and the pulled stitches 14, 15, 18, and 19 are not pulled out to the surface of the garment. The stitches 14 and 18 are stitches 12B and 12
C, the stitches 15, 19 are stitches 13B, 13
Layered under C. For this reason, stitches 12
A-E and stitches 13A-E appear, and stitches 14, 18, 1
5, 19 and the intersections between these stitches are located on the back of the garment. Therefore, the garment is flat at the binding portion without any unevenness at the binding portion. Further, since the stitches 14 and 15 and the stitches 18 and 19 intersect, the two knitting yarns intersect to connect the front knitted fabric and the rear knitted fabric. Therefore, the strength of the garment is increased as compared with the conventional method in which the knitting yarns are crossed one by one. Further, the stitches are crossed after the formation of the stitches is completed. Therefore, unlike the case where the knitting yarns cross each other, the knitting yarn is not pulled out from the yarn feeder 11 at the time of crossing. Thus, the knitted fabrics are attracted to each other, and no gap is generated between the knitted fabrics.

A second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The knitted fabric is shown in FIG. In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the cross stitches 14, 1
5, 18, 19, 35, 38, 40, and 42, which have a common point of binding, and cross stitches 14, 18, 3 of the front knitted fabric.
5, 40 are formed in the back bed B, and the cross stitch 1 of the back knitted fabric is formed.
5, 19, 38, and 42 are formed by the front bed F in common. In the first embodiment, the stitches 12 to be bound off

The transfer is performed to the rear bed B as shown in the course 5-2 without transferring the course 5-1. With the stitches positioned in this way, there are two patterns of knitting methods X-1 and Y-1 depending on which side of the stitch is transferred. Also, the moving direction L of the yarn feeder 11
Is a pattern in which the yarn feeder 11 is moved rightward when forming the stitches of the front knitted fabric 10a, and the yarn feeder 11 is moved leftward when forming the stitches of the rear knitted fabric 10b. Conversely, the moving direction M of the yarn feeder is a pattern in which the front knitted fabric 10a is moved to the left and the rear knitted fabric 10b is moved to the right to perform knitting. The movement direction N of the yarn feeder is as follows: the stitch of one knitted fabric is moved leftward to form the stitch, and then the yarn feeder 11 is moved to the next stitch before forming the stitch of the other knitted fabric. By moving the stitches to the right of the needles to be formed, the stitches of both the front knitted fabric 10a and the rear knitted fabric 10b are moved by moving the yarn feeder 11 in the direction in which the stitches are advanced to perform knitting.

FIG. 13 shows a variation of the second embodiment, showing a total of six variations by combining two types of knitting methods and three types of moving directions of the yarn feeder. The second embodiment is a combination of the knitting method Y-2 and the moving direction O of the yarn feeder. There are two knitting methods, X-2 and Y-2.
-1 before knitting, an intermediate stitch is formed.
1 and Y-1. The other knitting is common to the knitting methods X-1 and Y-1. On the other hand, there are three movement directions of the yarn feeder: O, P, and Q. As shown in course 7-3, the movement direction O of the yarn feeder is formed by moving the yarn feeder 31 to the right side in the direction opposite to the advancing direction of the stitches on the stitch 33A as shown in course 7-3. Then, the stitch 34 is transferred to the needle of the rear bed, and the intermediate stitch 3 is set in the course 7-5.
This is a pattern in which the cross stitch 35 overlapped with No. 9 is formed by moving the yarn feeder 31 in the advance direction of the bind-off. Further, the moving direction P of the yarn feeder is a course corresponding to the course 7-3 for forming the stitch 34 on the stitch 33A, which is opposite to the O, and the stitch 34 is moved in the traveling direction of the bind-off to form the stitch 34. 7
In the course corresponding to -5, the stitch 35 is formed by moving the yarn feeder 31 in the opposite right direction. The yarn feeder moving direction Q is a pattern in which the front knitted fabric 32a and the rear knitted fabric 32b are knitted using different yarn feeders.

There are many possible variations in the method of practicing the present invention.

[0030]

According to the present invention, the front and rear knitted fabrics are connected by the intersection of the stitches. There are two knitting yarns on both sides of the stitch, and four knitting yarns intersect at the intersection of the stitches . For this reason, compared with the conventional method of crossing the knitting yarns one by one, the tensile strength at the bind-off portion is increased. Furthermore, when overlapping the stitches on the stitched portion with the stitches to be stitched off, the stitches to be stitched are on the upper side, and thus the stitches are hidden on the back surface (the back of the cylinder) of the stitched portion. In addition, the intersection between the cross stitches can be hidden under the stitches to be stitched, and the stitches excellent in aesthetic appearance can be performed.

In the knitted fabric subjected to the bind-off processing according to the bind-off method of the present invention, the front knitted fabric and the rear knitted fabric are connected by the intersection of the knitting yarns on both sides of the knitted stitch, and the tensile strength at the bind-off location is increased. Also, since the stitches to be bound are on the upper side and the cross stitches are overlapped on the lower side of the stitches to be bound, the knitted fabric subjected to the bind off is hidden at the back side of the intersecting stitches at the intersecting stitches. The intersection portion is hidden under the stitches to be concealed, and the knitted fabric has an unprecedented aesthetic appearance.
