Description

  The present invention relates to a terminal knitting structure and a garment including the terminal knitting structure, and the terminal of a shorts undercarriage terminal, shirt hem terminal and cuff, and sock mouth terminal is thinned as a single hem so as not to affect the appearance. And curling that hangs down so as to wind outward is prevented.

  If the hem part of a shorts or underwear terminal is thick and has a level difference with the main body, a so-called “cracking” phenomenon that appears on the outer appearance through the outer part is likely to occur, and the hem part may become loose when worn. A feeling of sensation and a feeling of roughness occur. For this reason, it is desired to make the hem portion as thin as possible. However, in a teno (single) tissue having a thin fabric thickness, there is a problem that the hem portion curls outward and tends to swell. Therefore, there is a demand for curling not to occur even though it is a tengu tissue.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 9, the hem portion is often a double hem that is folded into a bag shape by knitting, and this double hem does not cause curling problems, but the thickness increases and the above-mentioned “cracking” problem occurs. A feeling of tingling occurs.
Further, a terminal knitting structure formed of a double knit knitted fabric knitted by a double needle knitting machine which is not folded back into a double hem but is knitted with elasticity and knitted with elastic yarn is also provided (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-146609).
In this double knit knitted fabric, since loops are formed on the front and back surfaces, there is an advantage that the tension on both the front and back surfaces can be balanced and curling of the knitted fabric on the front side is less likely to occur.
In addition, the knitting process can be simplified and the thickness can be reduced compared to the case of a bag shape, but the thickness is smaller than that of a single knit knitted fabric knitted with a single needle knitting machine because of the double knitted fabric. It has become big.

When the hem part is a single hem made of a single knit fabric, the knitting speed is about three times faster than that of a double knit, and there is an advantage that productivity is increased and the thickness can be reduced. However, in a single knit knitted fabric, as shown in FIGS. 10 (A) and 10 (B), since the yarn forms a loop only on the front side, the knitted fabric is formed on the front side by the force of the bent yarn to return. There is a problem that curling is likely to occur and the outer side tends to bend.
In addition, since the knitting yarn used in single knit is thin and has a large number of gauges, there is a problem that elongation is small and it is difficult to give an appropriate fit to the body by applying an appropriate tightening force.

To solve the above problem, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-81860, as shown in FIG. 11, two elastic yarns A1 and A2 are linearly inserted into the first course without being knitted with needles. There has been proposed a single rubber top knitting method in which elastic yarns A1 and A2 are knitted from the front and back by a shiker loop and a needle loop formed by a ground yarn B of the course.
However, in the above knitting method of the single rubber top, the rubber yarn is passed through the ground yarn without knitting, and only the knitting is held between the front and back surfaces. There is no function to prevent curling outwards only to the side.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and the hem portion is thinned so as not to cause a “cracking” problem or a “feeling of stickiness or sensation”, and the hem portion is curled by drooping outward. In addition, it is an object to provide a terminal knitting structure having an appropriate tightening force.

In order to solve the above problems, as a first invention, a single hem terminal knitted structure knitted with a single needle,
The hem portion continuous to the stop knitting portion is plated using a surface yarn made of a ground yarn and a back yarn having a greater elasticity than the surface yarn , and
Cover factor over a proportion occupied by the yarn itself in an area occupied by the knitted fabric 1 loop, 0.25 or 0.33 or less cover factor over the face yarn, the cover factor over the back yarn 0.20 Set to 0.24 or less ,
Provided is a terminal knitting structure characterized in that the front yarn is slackened by the stretching force of the back yarn, and the curling to the front side of the hem portion can be prevented as a shape having a plurality of bent portions in one loop. ing.

First, since the terminal knitting structure of the present invention has a single hem made of a single knit knitted portion at the hem portion that is continuous with the snap knitted portion, the knitted fabric becomes a thin knitted fabric and does not generate a step and generates “snack” on the outer surface. In addition, it is possible to eliminate the feeling of stickiness and groggyness.
In this way, there is an advantage that it can be thinned with a single knit, but when flat knitting consisting only of knits, as described above, there is a problem that the tension on the face side becomes large and curling to the front side is likely to occur. there were.
Therefore, in the present invention, as described above, in the hem portion, the front yarn and the back yarn made of an elastic yarn having a higher elasticity than the front yarn are plated and knitted, and the yarn supply tension (yarn of the back yarn at the time of knitting) (Elongation degree), and also adjusting the yarn feeding tension of the front yarn and the pull-in amount of the needle, thereby setting the cover factor and suppressing or preventing curling to the outer surface side (front side).

As described above, the cover factor (CF) is defined as the ratio of the yarn itself in the total area occupied by one loop, and CF = 1 / L√N is expressed as the cover factor in the case of the constant weight type count. Yes. L is the longitudinal length (cm), N is a constant weight type (N number = 1 pound / 840 × N yards)
As described above, in the present invention, the cover factor (FCF) of the front yarn to be knitted with plating and the cover factor (BCF) of the back yarn are reduced, and the elasticity of the back yarn is larger than the elasticity of the front yarn. Therefore, the tension to the back side by the back thread loop is increased. Further, the curling force on the front side decreases as the front yarn loosens. As a result, the occurrence of curling on the front side can be suppressed.
In addition, the knitting yarn used in single knit is thin and has a large number of gauges, so it does not stretch easily.However, because the yarn used in plating knitting is highly stretchable as the back yarn, it gives an appropriate tightening force to the body. A feeling of fit can be given.

Cover factor, as described above, the cover factor over the yarn 0. 2 5 or more 0.33 or less, the cover factor over the back yarn is 0.20 or more 0.24 or less.
The above cover factor has been found through repeated researches and experiments by the inventor. 2 5 or more and 0.33 or less is 0. This is because if it is less than 25, knitting wrinkles are likely to occur, and if it exceeds 0.33, curling is likely to occur. Further, the reason that the cover factor of the back yarn is 0.20 or more and 0.24 or less is 0. 2 0 less than a it is a knitting flaws easily occur, because curling is likely to occur when exceeding 0.2 4.
Cover factor over the face yarn is preferably 0. 28 or more and 0.30 or less. Cover factor over the back yarn is preferably 0. It is 22 or more and 0.23 or less.

The front yarn of the hem portion is preferably a ground yarn, and the portion where the front yarn and the back yarn are knitted by plating is preferably knitted.
In particular, if all the needles in the course are hooked with the front and back yarns and knitted, and all-knit knitting that prevents mistakes and tacks from being taken into the course, the appearance of the hem portion can be finished beautifully. Needless to say, mistakes and tacks may be taken into the course.

Table or, the hem portion continuous to stop knitting section, a yarn consisting of ground thread, with elastic than said surface yarns are knitted plated with a back yarn is larger, the elasticity of the back yarn The shape in which the yarn is loosened and has a plurality of bent portions in one loop reduces the force with which the front yarn curls to the front side, and increases the curling resistance by the back yarn to prevent the occurrence of curling .

Elastic yarns other than the front yarn and the back yarn may be inserted into the hem of the hem portion.
In the present invention, since the non-stretchable yarn or the low stretchable yarn is used as the front yarn, the power of the front yarn tends to be weak. Thus, for example, every two courses, another elastic yarn is inserted without knitting with a needle and inserted, and is pressed with a tack when plating the next course. As described above, when another elastic yarn is inserted without generating tension on the front side, the power of the hem portion can be increased.

As the surface yarn, a non-stretchable yarn or a low elongation yarn such as wooly nylon is used. On the other hand, the above-mentioned back yarn is a high-elongation such as a bare yarn made only of polyurethane-based elastic yarn, or a covering elastic yarn covering a core yarn made of polyurethane-based elastic yarn with a filament yarn or processed yarn of synthetic fiber. Yarn is used.
As described above, when the cover yarn of the front yarn is reduced and the covering yarn having a higher elasticity than the front yarn is used as the back yarn, the front yarn is considerably loosened from the back yarn in one loop. . Also from this point, the tension on the back side by the back yarn can be considerably larger than the tension of the front yarn, and curling on the front side can be effectively suppressed. And if the back thread on the side in contact with the skin is a covering elastic thread, the skin contact can be improved.

The number of courses in the hem part is not limited, and the number of courses is increased or decreased according to the function and design of the clothing, but 35 or more courses are continuously knitted to the stop knitting part and continuously knitted to the main body part. .
The reason why the hem portion is 35 courses or more is that if it is less than 35 courses, an appropriate feeling of tightening at the terminal cannot be obtained, and preferably 50 to 150 courses.

  The stopper knitting portion, which is the beginning of knitting, is knitted by repeating knit and mistake using two or more courses using elastic yarn, and is continued to the hem portion.

  Further, according to the present invention, the knitted fabric is a circular knitted fabric knitted by a single cylinder, and the knitted single knitted cylindrical knitted fabric is a pants underbody, a body of a shirt, a sleeve, a sock, etc. It can be formed without sewing, and productivity can be improved.

Further, the present invention provides a garment provided in the terminal knitting structure that is formed into a tubular shape with the terminal knitting structure as a circular knitted fabric.
Specifically, examples of top clothing include shirts, T-shirts, tank tops, camisoles, and the like, and the hem and cuffs of these top clothings are single hems composed of the above-mentioned terminal knitting structure. Also, as bottom clothing, shorts, pants, spats, girdle, leg wear, stockings, pantyhose, socks, etc. are mentioned. Yes.
If the hem, cuffs, and mouth of these garments are single hems made of single knit with the above configuration, they will be thin, making it difficult for level differences to occur, and even if you wear thin outerwear, the inner wear terminals will crack outside. The phenomenon can be prevented from occurring. In addition, since the hem portion has a knitted structure that does not generate tension on the front side, it is possible to prevent the terminal from curling outward and turning up.

  As described above, the terminal knitting structure of the present invention is a single hem made of a single knitted fabric, and the hem portion is formed by knitting a front yarn and a backing yarn having a higher elasticity than the front yarn. By setting the cover factors of the front yarn and the back yarn within the required numerical range, the tension of the back yarn loop can be increased to tighten the front yarn to the back surface side, and the occurrence of the loop to the front side can be effectively suppressed.

  Also, the front yarn and a back yarn having a higher elasticity than the front yarn are plated and knitted, and the front yarn is slackened with the back yarn having a large elasticity, and the loop of the front yarn has a shape having a plurality of bent portions. Then, the curling force of the front yarn can be reduced, and the curling of the hem portion can be suppressed together with the curling resistance force by the back yarn.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a women's shorts 10 made of a single knit knitted by a circular knitting machine equipped with a single needle, and FIGS. 2 and 3 show a terminal knitting structure of an undercarriage 10a at the beginning of knitting. 2 and 3, the upper end is the knitting start end, and the stop knitting portion 11, the hem portion 12, and the main body knitting portion 13 are continuous from the upper end.

  The stop knitting portion 11 at the beginning of knitting uses only a covering elastic yarn 20 having a bare urethane yarn or a polyurethane elastic yarn as a core yarn, and continuously supplies the elastic yarn 20 from a yarn feeder to form two courses in an annular shape. . In this stop knitting portion 11, knit ○ and miss x are mixed in one course, and in this embodiment, one stitch knit → three stitch mistakes → one stitch knit → three stitch mistakes are repeated.

As shown in FIG. 4, the hem portion 12 continuing to the stop knitting portion 11 is a plating knitting in which a ground yarn is a front yarn 21 and the front yarn 21 and a back yarn 22 are overlapped. It is an all-knit that hooks on the needle 25 and forms a loop on the front side for each needle.
The hem portion 12 is 100 courses, and the first course C1 to the 100th course C100 are all knit.

  As the front yarn 21, wooly nylon yarn (NY78T / 1) is used. On the other hand, the back yarn 22 uses a single covering yarn (SCY20 / 40). The backing yarn 22 is pulled with a 20 denier polyurethane elastic yarn three times and is combined with a 40 denier nylon yarn. The back yarn 22 is 20 denier / 3 + 40 denier = 46.67 denier. When denier is converted into cotton count, since 1 cotton count = 5315 denier, the 46.67 denier back yarn 22 of the back yarn 22 combined yarn is 5315 / 46.67 = 13.9th. On the other hand, the front yarn 21 is 75.90.

  FIG. 5A shows that the front yarn 21 and the back yarn are pulled out from the yarn feeder by applying a large supply tension to the back yarn, and the tensions of the front yarn 21 and the back yarn 22 are different when knitting. As shown in the figure, all knits are knitted.

  Since the tension of the back yarn 22 is released after knitting, as shown in FIGS. 4B, 5B, and 6B, the back yarn 22 is pulled to the back surface side to reduce the loop. And get close to a straight line. On the other hand, the front yarn 21 is slackened so as to exhibit a plurality of bent portions in one loop.

In the present embodiment, the cover factor (FCF) of the front yarn 21 is 0.296, and the cover factor (B CF ) of the back yarn 22 is 0.223.
Incidentally, heme portion of the present invention, as described above, the cover factor over the yarn 0. 2 5 or more 0.33 or less of the range, the cover factor over the back yarn 0. 2 0 is set to be equal to or greater than 0.24 or less.

  In this way, the back yarn 22 contracts on the back surface side to generate tension on the back surface side of the loop of the back yarn 22, while the front yarn 21 is loosened, and the loop of the front yarn has a plurality of bent portions. Since the loop that the loop has has collapsed, it is possible to suppress the curling force of the loop itself to the front side without generating tension on the back thread 22.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the hem portion 12, the polyurethane elastic yarn (S140 / 70) 23 is inserted by pouring every two courses, and mistakes x and tacks Δ are repeated at the time of knitting the next course. Holding down.

  The main body knitting portion 13 is continuously knitted with a required knitting structure with the ground yarn composed of the surface yarn 21 continuously to the hem portion 12.

In the single hem made of the above knitted structure, the knitted fabric can be made thin because it is made of a single knit, and the knitted fabric is plated with the front yarn 21 and the back yarn 22 and is all-knitted, so that the hem portion 12 is appropriately tightened. Can give power.
In addition, since the expansion / contraction force of the back yarn 22 is larger than that of the front yarn 21 and the cover factor of the front yarn and the back yarn is set within the required numerical range, the front yarn loop is tightened with the tension of the back yarn loop, The yarn is slackened and the stress of curling the front yarn is reduced. Furthermore, the occurrence of curling outward can be suppressed by opposing the stress curling to the front side by the tension of the back yarn.

As shown in FIG. 1 (B), the women's shorts 10 shown in FIG. 1 is continuously knitted in a cylindrical shape with a circular knitting machine from the knitting start position on the undercarriage side to the waist side, and then the required depth on the undercarriage side. The crotch cloth 27 is inserted into the crotch side and sewn to form the left and right cylindrical suspension parts 10a. The hem portions of the terminals of the left and right suspension parts 10a are the knitted structure.
In the shorts 10 described above, since the suspension end is a single hem, no step is generated at the suspension end, and the appearance can be prevented from cracking. In addition, since the tension on the back side of the hem portion 12 is increased, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of outward curling that has conventionally occurred in the case of a single knit and single hem, and it is possible to prevent the end of the suspension from rolling up. .

  Not limited to the above shorts, if the sleeve of the top inner is formed with a tubular knitted fabric, and the cuffs are a single knitted with a single hem, the body part of the shirt with the tubular knitted fabric as a large diameter When forming a terminal knitted structure with a single hem at the hem end, the pantyhose, stockings and socks are knitted with a tubular knitted fabric, and the opening is made into a single hem with the single knit. In any case such as a terminal knitted structure, the cuffs, the hem end, and the mouth end are thin and not cracked like the underwear end of the pants, and no outward curling occurs.

The terminal knitting structures of Examples and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 in which the numerical value range of the cover factor was changed were provided, and the state of curling was compared.
In both Examples and Comparative Examples 1 to 3, the same woolly nylon yarn (NY78T / 1) as in the above embodiment was used as the front yarn, and the single covering yarn (SCY20 / 40) was used as the back yarn, and the figures were plated. 2. The hem part was knitted with the knitting structure shown in FIG. The elastic thread (S140 / 70) was inserted into the hem portion every two courses as in the embodiment.

  The number of needles per course, 1 loop length L, count S, √ count S, 1√S, 1 / L√S were varied as shown in the table below.

As shown in Table 1, in the embodiment cover factor of yarn shown in the upper part of Table 1 is 0.3 3 below 0.296, cover factor of the plating yarn shown in middle part of Table 1 is 0.24 or less 0.22. In the examples and comparative examples in Table 1, the upper part of the three stages is the cover factor of the front thread, the middle part is the cover factor of the back thread, and the lower part is the cover factor of the elastic thread to be inserted.
Comparative Examples 1 to 3 with more than the cover factor 0.3 Any third yarn, the cover factor of the back yarn is to exceed 0.2 4.

In the examples, no curling occurred. In Comparative Examples 1 to 3, curling occurred. In particular, in Comparative Example 3 having a large cover factor, it was confirmed that curling occurred remarkably.

The enlarged micrograph of FIG. 7 shows the undercarriage hem of the prototype female shorts of the present invention. The undercarriage hem part has the length of the front yarn in one loop longer than the back yarn, and the expansion / contraction force of the front yarn is the front yarn <the back yarn, and the front yarn and the back yarn are all formed by plating. Knitted. The undercarriage having the hem portion did not curl.
FIG. 8 shows, as a comparative example, a hem part of a prototype having a cover factor comparable to that of an undercarriage hem part of ordinary female shorts and a larger cover factor than that of FIG. In the shorts, outward curling was generated around the single hem suspension.
The photographs in FIGS. 7 and 8 are both taken from the surface (outer surface).
In FIG. 8 of the comparative example, the loops were clearly formed one by one without breaking the shape, but in FIG. 7 which is a prototype of the present invention, the front yarn was loosened and the loops were broken.

  As is clear from the photographs in FIGS. 7 and 8, curl is generated when the loop of the front yarn is not broken, but it can be confirmed that outward curl is not generated when the loop is broken. It was.
