Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of an undergarment having stretchability according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an underwear 1 having stretchability knitted by a circular knitting machine, which is a milling knitting machine, and a barrel portion knitted into a cylindrical shape and sleeve sleeve portions sewn into left and right armhole portions 3. It is a front view of the underwear which consists of 4.4.
Although detailed illustration of the circular knitting machine for knitting the underwear 1 is omitted, the outline will be described with reference to FIG. 2 which schematically shows that the cylinder needle 5 is slidably accommodated in the needle groove of the cylinder formed in the cylinder, A dial needle 6 orthogonal to the cylinder needle 5 is provided so as to be able to advance and retreat, and a knitting needle driving means including a cam group for operating a bat formed on the both knitting needles 5, 6, the knitting needle driving means, and the both knitting needles 5. A circular knitting machine including a plurality (9 in this example) of yarn feeders that feed knitting yarns in conjunction with the advance / retreat drive of 6 is used.

Next, a procedure for knitting the underwear having stretchability according to the invention using the circular knitting machine will be described.
First, of the nine yarn feeders of the above circular knitting machine, the first yarn feeder to the eighth yarn feeder are supplied with a single 40th cotton combed cotton yarn, and the ninth yarn feeder is made of 140 denier polyurethane. A covering elastic yarn having a core covered with a 70 denier nylon filament yarn, so-called FTY, is fed (see FIG. 2).

And the trunk | drum 2 of the underwear 1 which has the elasticity shown in FIG. 1 is knitted from the wear opening part 7 of a lower end part, and is knitted toward the collar side part.
In this set-up, the cotton yarn 10 from the first yarn feeder is fed in a zigzag manner over the cylinder needle 5 and the dial needle 6 and then knitted, and then the cotton yarn 10 is respectively fed by the subsequent second yarn feeder to the eighth yarn feeder. By feeding the cylinder needle 5 and the dial needle 6 in a zigzag manner, 1 × 1 rib knitting (in which the front stitch 8 formed by the cylinder needle 5 and the back stitch 9 formed by the dial needle 6 can be alternately performed ( 8 courses are formed.

Thereafter, the elastic elastic yarn 11 from the ninth yarn feeder is fed to the dial needle 6 in a state where an appropriate tension is applied.
The elastic yarn 11 is fed from the ninth yarn feeder to the dial needle 6 in a state where an appropriate tension is applied, and a loop of the back eye 9 is formed on the dial needle 6.
The loop of the back stitch 9 formed by the elastic elastic yarn 11 formed on the dial needle 6 is formed by the cotton yarn 10 fed zigzag from the first yarn feeder to be fed next to the cylinder needle 5 and the dial needle 6. It moves to the loop of the back mesh 9.

In this way, the elastic elastic yarn 11 from the ninth yarn feeder is formed with a loop with the dial needle 6 that forms the back stitch 9 on the inner surface side of the tubular knitted fabric (body portion 2). 11 hardly appears on the surface of the tubular knitted fabric, and does not hinder the appearance of the tubular knitted fabric.
Thereafter, by repeating the yarn feeding from the first yarn feeder to the ninth yarn feeder, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 1, the elastic elastic yarn 11 is knitted every 8 courses for the cylindrical portion for the body portion 2. A knitted fabric is formed.

The cylindrical body 2 in which the elastic elastic yarns 11 are knitted every 8 courses is sewn from the left and right to form the shoulder portion 12 with the opening 13 for the neck being left in the center of the upper part, While forming the opening 13 for the bore, the upper left and right side portions are opened to form the arm hole portions 3.
A narrow knitted fabric 14 that is intended to prevent unwinding is sewn to the opening portion 13 for piercing, and when sleeve sleeve portions 4 and 4 are sewn to the left and right armhole portions 3 and 3, stretchability is provided here. The undergarment 1 having is completed.

The elastic underwear 1 thus formed has elastic elastic yarns 11 every 8 courses on the body 2, so that the underwear 1 fits the body moderately by the tension of the elastic elastic yarn 11. To do.
Further, when the undergarment 1 is attached or detached, the body 2 of the undergarment 1 is greatly stretched by combining the highly elastic rib knitting and the elastic elastic yarn 11, so that there is a handicap on the body or the caregiver takes care of Can be easily attached to and detached from a person.

In the above embodiment, when the body 2 of the undergarment 1 is knitted, the stretchable elastic yarns 11 are provided every 8 courses. It goes without saying that the insertion interval of the elastic elastic yarn 11 can be arbitrarily set according to the size of the diameter of 2, the purpose of use of the undergarment 1, and the like.
In addition, the stretchable underwear 1 according to the present invention is not limited to the underwear 1 worn by a medical patient or a cared person, and can be worn by a healthy person. It is suitable for wearing when you sweat a lot and change clothes in a short time, such as sports.
