Description

  The present invention relates to a knitting method of a knitted fabric using a flat knitting machine.

When a new knitted fabric is knitted using a flat knitting machine having one needle bed and the other needle bed facing forward and backward, it is common to knitting the knitted fabric according to the following [1] to [3] It is.
[1] For example, a discarded knitted fabric is knitted, and a yarn thread stitch row formed following the stitch of the final course of the discarded knitted fabric is knitted. After the knitted fabric has been knitted, the drawn yarn constituting the drawn yarn stitch row is removed from the knitted fabric.
[2] Continuing in the wale direction of the drawn yarn stitch row, using a knitting yarn different from the drawn yarn, knitting a set-up portion composed of stitches alternately locked to one needle bed and the other needle bed. .
[3] Among the set-up portions, the one-side bag stitch row continuing in the wale direction of the stitch row locked to one needle bed, and the stitch row locked to the other needle bed of the set-up portion Bag knitting is performed in which the other-side bag stitch row following the wale direction is knitted in sequence. By performing the bag knitting, a bag stitch row in which the one side bag stitch row and the other side bag stitch row are connected in a bag shape is formed. A knitted fabric is knitted starting from this bag stitch row.

  In the knitted fabric obtained by using the above-described general knitting fabric set-up method, the end yarn of the set-up portion is not fixed. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the set-up portion from being unwound by manually knitting the end yarn of the set-up portion into the knitted fabric. As a technique for reducing the labor of processing the end yarn, for example, a technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 is known.

  In Patent Document 1, a stitch row (hereinafter referred to as an end yarn stitch row) is knitted continuously in at least a portion of the yarn stitch row in the wale direction, and a set-up portion is knitted in the wale direction of the end yarn stitch row. ing. By performing such a knitting, when the yarn is removed from the knitted fabric after the knitted fabric is knitted, the end yarn (end yarn stitch row) of the set-up portion is located between the stitches constituting the set-up portion. Since it is in a sandwiched state (see FIGS. 5 and 6 of Patent Document 1), it is possible to suppress the set-up portion from being unwound.

Japanese Patent No. 2529640

  In the above-described knitting method of the knitted fabric of Patent Document 1, the end yarn of the set-up portion is simply sandwiched between the stitches of the set-up portion. Therefore, when the knitting yarn constituting the set-up portion is a thin knitting yarn or slippery knitting yarn, when the knitted fabric is stretched, the yarn goes out from between the stitches constituting the set-up portion to the outside of the set-up portion. Sometimes.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a main object thereof is to provide a knitting method of a knitted fabric that can fix an end yarn of a set-up portion to a set-up portion.

In knitting a knitted fabric using a flat knitting machine including one needle bed and the other needle bed that are opposed to each other in the front and rear directions, The present invention relates to a method for setting up a knitted fabric in which a subsequent set-up portion is knitted and bag knitting is performed in the wale direction of the set-up portion. In the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, before knitting the set-up portion, a knitting yarn different from the drawn yarn stitch row is threaded to knitting the unfastening stitch row and the unwinding is performed. It is assumed that at least a part of stitches of the stitch row for stopping is locked to the other needle bed. Then, after starting the knitting of the set-up portion from the position shifted from the start stitch of the unlocking stitch row and completing the set-up portion, the other needle bed in the unlocking stitch row The bag knitting is carried out after the stitches that have been locked to each other and a part of the stitches of the set-up portion are overlapped.
The stitches in the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention include hooks.

  As one form of the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the stitches (hereinafter referred to as continuous stitches) that follow in the wale direction of the yarn thread stitch row and the stitches that are formed on the empty needles (hereinafter referred to as discontinuous stitches) An example can be given in which the unfastening stitch row is knitted and the stitch formed on the empty needle (non-continuous stitch) is locked to the other needle bed. In this case, after knitting the set-up portion, the discontinuous stitches of the unfastening stitch row are overlapped with some stitches of the set-up portion.

  As one form of the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, in addition to the yarn thread row locked to the one needle bed, the yarn yarn row locked to the other needle bed is knitted. An example is a form in which a tubular knitted fabric is knitted.

  According to the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the end yarn (unlocking stitch row) of the set-up portion can be fixed inside the set-up portion by knitting, and the end yarn of the set-up portion is unwound. Can be suppressed. In addition, by fixing the end yarn of the set-up portion to the set-up portion, it is possible to effectively suppress the end yarn from protruding between the stitches constituting the set-up portion to the outside of the set-up portion. it can.

  According to the set-up method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the set-up stitch row is formed by combining continuous stitches and non-continuous stitches, and the non-continuous stitches are superposed on the stitches of the set-up portion. It is possible to make it difficult to unravel the end yarns (unlocking stitch row) of the part. As shown in an embodiment to be described later, by fixing the set-up portion between the continuous stitch and the non-continuous stitch, the yarn length of the end yarn can be gained by the transition yarn between the continuous stitch and the non-continuous stitch. Therefore, even when the knitted fabric is stretched, the end yarns of the stretched set-up portion are dispersed in the crossover yarns, and the end yarn can be prevented from coming out between the stitches constituting the set-up portion.

  When knitting a tubular knitted fabric in which the one side knitted fabric portion and the other side knitted fabric portion are connected in a cylindrical shape, the density of the stitches of the set-up portion for knitting each knitted fabric portion is determined as a single layer knitted fabric. Therefore, the density of the stitches of the set-up portion for knitting is inevitably lower. Therefore, when the tubular knitted fabric is knitted by the conventional knitting method of the knitted fabric, there is a problem that the end yarn of the set-up portion tends to come out of the set-up portion. On the other hand, when the tubular knitted fabric is knitted using the knitting method of the knitted fabric of the present invention, the end yarn of the set-up portion is securely fixed to the set-up portion, so that the above-described problem hardly occurs.

It is a knitting process figure which concerns on the set-up method of the knitted fabric of embodiment.

<Embodiment 1>
In the first embodiment, an example in which the method for setting up a knitted fabric of the present invention is applied when setting up a tubular knitted fabric using a four-bed flat knitting machine will be described with reference to FIG. The four-bed flat knitting machine is provided in a lower front needle bed (hereinafter referred to as FD) and a lower rear needle bed (hereinafter referred to as BD) that extend in the left-right direction and face each other in the front-rear direction, and above the FD and BD. The flat knitting machine includes an upper front needle bed (hereinafter referred to as FU) and an upper rear needle bed (hereinafter referred to as BU) in which a large number of knitting needles are arranged at the same pitch as the lower needle bed. In this flat knitting machine, stitches can be transferred between the front and back needle beds, and the BD and BU provided in the flat knitting machine can be racked left and right.

  FIG. 1 is a knitting process diagram according to a knitting method of a knitted fabric of the present invention. The S + number in the left column of FIG. 1 indicates the number of the knitting process, and the right column shows the actual knitting state in each knitting process. The capital letters in the figure indicate the positions of the knitting needles in the knitting width direction, circles indicate stitches, and V-shaped marks indicate hooks.

  In S0, the knitting needle rows A, C, E, G, I, K, and BD knitting needles A, C, E, G, I, K, are locked to the FD knitting needles B, D, F, H, J, L, N, P, and R. The state where the thread stitch row 1B is locked to M, O, Q, and S is shown. These drawn yarn stitch rows 1F and 1B are stitch rows that serve as starting points for knitting the tubular knitted fabric. The drawn yarn stitch rows 1F and 1B are formed of a drawn yarn that is continuously knitted at a wale end portion of a discarded knitted fabric (not shown) and removed from the tubular knitted fabric after knitting the tubular knitted fabric. At least a part of the drawn yarn stitch rows 1F and 1B may be knitted in a full stitch state in which no empty needle is provided between adjacent stitches. For example, in the knitting range (BD knitting needles A to K) of the unfastening stitch row 2 (see S2), which will be described later, the drawn yarn stitch row 1B may be in the total needle state.

  In S1, the yarn feeder 9 for feeding a knitting yarn different from the drawn yarn stitch rows 1F and 1B is moved to the right in the drawing (yarn inserting direction), and the drawn yarn stitch row 1B locked on the knitting needle K of the BD. The starting stitch 2s continuous in the wale direction is knitted. The start stitch 2s may be formed anywhere as long as it is other than the knitting needle A of the BD serving as the start end of the set-up portion 3 described later. For example, the starting stitch 2s is formed within one of the knitting widths of the drawn yarn stitch row 1B as shown in S1, and on the outer side (right side of the knitting needle S) of the drawn yarn stitch row 1B in the yarn inserting direction. It may be formed. The start stitch 2s may be a stitch, for example, a stitch may be formed on a blank needle such as the knitting needle L of the BD, and the stitch may be used as the start stitch 2s.

  In S2, the yarn feeder 9 is moved in the left direction (the direction opposite to the yarn insertion direction), and the stitches (non-continuous stitches) 20 are knitted on the knitting needles J, H, F, D, and B of the BD and the knitting needle of the BD. A stitch (continuous stitch) 21 is knitted following the wale direction of the stitches of the drawn yarn stitch row 1B locked to I, G, E, C, A. The stitch row composed of the start stitch 2s knitted in S1 and the hook stitch 20 and the stitch 21 knitted while the yarn feeder 9 is moved in the direction opposite to the yarn insertion direction in S2 is the knitting knitted after S4. This is a stitch row 2 for preventing unwinding that becomes an end yarn of the unloading portion 3 (see S4). Since the knitting yarn fed from the yarn feeder 9 is later cut at the position of the white arrow (see S1), the knitting yarn constituting the unfastening stitch row 2 becomes the end yarn of the set-up portion 3. .

  Here, it is also possible to knitting the stitch row 2 for preventing unwinding by inserting yarn from the right side of the drawing. For example, the yarn feeder 9 is moved from the right side to the left side without performing S1 from the state of S0, and the unfastening stitch row 2 (the stitches locked to the knitting needles K to A of the BD) shown in S2 is performed. Organize.

  In addition, if the drawn yarn stitch row 1B is knitted in a total needle state, stitches are knitted on the knitting needles J, H, F, D, and B of the BD. In this case, the unfastening stitch row 2 is composed only of continuous stitches that are continuous in the wale direction of the yarn thread stitch row 1B.

  In S3, the stitches 20 of the knitting needles J, H, F, D, and B of the BD are transferred to the knitting needles J, H, F, D, and B of the FU. The needle bed for transferring the hook 20 may be an FD empty needle. In S2, when the continuous stitch 21 is knitted on the BD and the non-continuous stitch (hook 20) is knitted on the FU or FD, S3 can be omitted.

  Here, the unfastening stitch row 2 can also be constituted by the hooks 20 alone. For example, after S <b> 1 in FIG. 1, hooks 20 may be formed on the knitting needles J, H, F, D, and B of the FU, and these hooks 20 may be used as the unfastening stitch row 2. As shown in FIG. 1, whether the unfastening stitch row 2 is knitted by the combination of the hook 20 and the stitch 21, or the unfastening stitch row 2 is knitted only by the hook 20, the set-up is performed in the next S4. Before knitting the part 3, the hook 20 of the unfastening stitch row 2 is kept locked to the FU (the other needle bed).

  In S4, the yarn feeder 9 used for knitting the unfastening stitch row 2 is moved in the right direction, and the set-up portion 3 continuing in the wale direction of the drawn yarn stitch row 1B is knitted. Specifically, stitches are knitted on the knitting needles A, C, E, G, I, K, M, O, Q, and S of the BD and the knitting needles B, D, F, H, J, L, and N of the BD. , P, R (empty needles) are knitted. Of the stitches knitted in S4, the stitches knitted with the knitting needles A, C, E, G, I, and K of the BD are continuously knitted in the wale direction of the continuous stitch 21 of the unfastening stitch row 2 shown in S3. Is done. The stitch that becomes the start end of the set-up portion 3 (the stitch of the knitting needle A of the BD) and the start point stitch 2s that becomes the start end of the unfastening stitch row 2 are shifted in the knitting width direction. The unfastening stitch row 2 can be fixed.

  Here, in S4, in order to shorten the transition yarn between the stitches of the set-up portion 3, the set-up portion 3 is knitted with BD, but the knitting yarn is alternately fed to BD and FU (or FD). The set-up part 3 may be knitted.

  In S5, the hook 20 of the knitting needles B, D, F, H, and J of the FU is transferred to the knitting needles B, D, F, H, and J of the BD. By this S5, the hook 20 of the unfastening stitch row 2 shown in S3 and a part of the set-up portion 3 (the hooks of the knitting needles B, D, F, H, and J of the BD) are overlapped. Here, depending on the configuration of the unfastening stitch row 2 and the set-up portion 3, the stitches of the unfastening stitch row 2 and the set-up portion 3 may be overlapped or the unfastening stitch row 2 (the set-up portion). The stitches of 3) and the stitches of the set-up portion 3 (unlocking stitch row 2) may be overlapped.

  In S6, the stitches of the set-up portion 3 that are locked to the knitting needles A, C, E, G, I, K, M, O, Q, and S of the BD are changed to the knitting needles A, C, E, G, and I of the FU. , K, M, O, Q, S. This S6 is a preparation process for bag knitting using the front and back needle beds.

  In S7, the yarn feeder 9 is reciprocated to knit the bag stitch row 4 continuous in the wale direction of the set-up portion 3 distributed to the front and back needle beds. Specifically, the yarn feeder 9 is moved leftward, the front bag stitch row 4F is knitted on the knitting needles S, Q, O, M, K, I, G, E, C, and A of the FU, and then the yarn feeder 9 is moved rightward, and the rear bag stitch row 4B is knitted on the knitting needles B, D, F, H, J, L, N, P, and R of the BD (bag knitting).

  By knitting the rear bag stitch row 4B in S7, a double stitch (BD knitting needle B, BD) composed of the hook of the set-up portion 3 formed in S6 and the hook 20 of the unfastening stitch row 2 is formed. D, F, H, and J) are fixed.

  After S7, after the stitches locked to the FU are transferred to the BD, the knitting similar to the S4, S6, S7 (S4, S6, S7) is performed on the thread stitch row 1F locked to the FD. FD and BD, and knitting in which FU and BU are exchanged) may be performed. By doing so, it is possible to form a set-up portion that continues in the wale direction of the drawn yarn stitch row 1F and a bag stitch row that continues in the wale direction of the set-up portion.

  Here, when the set-up portion is knitted with respect to the drawn yarn stitch row 1F locked to the FD, a knitting yarn different from the knitting yarn fed from the yarn feeder 9 may be used. In that case, the set-up method according to the present invention is performed by regarding the FD to which the drawn yarn stitch row 1F is locked as one needle bed in the set-up method of the present invention. For example, the same knitting as S1 to S7 (knitting by replacing FD and BD and FU and BU in each step) may be performed on the stitched stitch row 1F. In this way, if the set-up portion is knitted using a knitting yarn different from the knitting yarn at the yarn feeder 9, when the tubular knitted fabric is knitted following the set-up portion, the knitting from the yarn feeder 9 is performed. The yarn and the other knitting yarn can be properly used.

  According to the knitting method of the knitted fabric described above, when the take-off yarn is removed from the tubular knitted fabric after the knitting of the tubular knitted fabric is finished, the end yarn (unlocking stitch row) of the set-up portion 3 is removed. 2) is a tubular knitted fabric that is difficult to unravel. The stitches (non-continuous stitches) 20 of the unfastening stitch row 2 knitted in S1 to S3 in FIG. 1 are superimposed on the set-up portion 3 in S5 and fixed inside the set-up portion 3 by bag knitting in S6 and S7. At the same time, the continuous stitch 21 is fixed inside the set-up portion 3 by knitting the set-up portion 3 continuously in the wale direction of the stitches (continuous stitches) 21 of the unfastening stitch row 2 in S4. This is because that. Moreover, since the yarn length of the end yarn of the set-up portion 3 can be earned by the transition yarn between the non-continuous stitch 20 and the continuous stitch 21, even when the knitted fabric is stretched, the stretched end yarn is It is possible to effectively suppress the end yarns of the set-up portion 3 from being distributed to the crossover yarn and coming out of the set-up portion 3.
