Description

The present invention relates to a knit glove and a method of knitting a knit glove, and more specifically, a window for viewing a watch is provided so that the watch inside the glove can be visually recognized to know the time while wearing the glove. The present invention relates to a knit glove and a method for knitting the knit glove.

Generally, when wearing a glove while wearing a wristwatch, the wristwatch is covered inside by the wrist of the glove, so it is not possible to check the time as it is. It is necessary to take off the gloves or roll up the wrist part of the gloves at least until the wristwatch is exposed, which is troublesome. If both hands wearing gloves are blocked by holding luggage, it may be necessary to give up checking the time itself. Furthermore, when driving a bicycle or motorcycle, or when skiing, the act of looking at such a wristwatch itself is not only troublesome, but can also be dangerous. It is convenient to have gloves that allow you to easily see the dial of a wristwatch while wearing gloves, as it can eliminate such inconveniences and situations.

A glove provided with a viewing window for visually recognizing a wristwatch is disclosed in the prior art for this purpose (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). FIG. 4 shows an outline of the glove disclosed in Patent Document 1. In the figure, the glove 1 is a transparent transparent glove 1 having a window portion 4 provided on a wrist portion and a dome-shaped outward convex shape on the window portion 4. By covering with the covering member 5, the internal clock can be visually recognized. The glove 1 is considered to be a glove suitable for motorcycles or outdoor use, and for this purpose, it is referred to as "a glove having overall flexibility sewn with cloth and leather", and "a window 4 is, for example, a watch. It is formed on a hard frame member 3 such as leather that has a shape slightly larger than the appearance shape of the watch. ”“ The covering member 5 fits a transparent hard or soft plastic, preferably a watch face. It is made of soft plastic so that an annular protruding rib 5a is formed on the back surface of the peripheral flange, that is, the contact part with the outer peripheral edge of the watch face to be worn. " It has been done.

Similar to this in Patent Document 2, a viewing window portion is provided on the wrist portion, and a string body or a window plate such as a transparent plastic body is provided on the wrist portion for the purpose of suppressing the expansion of the viewing window portion. Gloves that ensure visibility are disclosed. The use of these gloves is also said to be "including gloves for motorcycles and other gloves for leisure, work, etc.", and a circular window is provided at the wrist position of leather gloves, and the surrounding area is covered. Similarly, a leather strip is sewn on, and it is constructed to be sturdy as it is according to the purpose.

Unlike such gloves for special purposes, knit gloves are widely used for general purposes. Knit gloves are knitted yarns or yarns (hereinafter, collectively referred to as "knitting yarns"), and the knitting method thereof is already widely known in the prior art (see, for example, Patent Document 3). That is, in general, knit gloves are knitted using a flat knitting machine equipped with a pair of front and rear needle beds (needle beds). In a typical knitting method, four finger bag portions from the little finger to the index finger are first knitted, and then these finger bag portions are followed by four body portions that are put together. Next, the finger bag part of the thumb is knitted, and the five body parts are knitted by connecting the finger bag part of the thumb and the four torso parts, and then the wrist part is knitted to form the knitting. Complete.

There was room for improvement in gloves provided with a viewing window for a wristwatch according to the prior art disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2. All gloves are formed using leather, synthetic leather, cloth, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "leather, etc."), and in this case, the manufacturing method is generally to divide the gloves into several parts and develop them. The gloves were formed by providing the parts to be formed, punching using a mold called a pattern, etc. to make leather or the like suitable for the shape of each part, and stitching or welding these to each other. In one of the processes, the viewing window for viewing the wristwatch is punched out, and after the surroundings are reinforced, a transparent covering member (Patent Document 1), or a string or a transparent window plate (Patent Document 2) is formed along the shape. It was fixed.

The gloves shown in both documents are intended for special purposes, and as is clear from the above manufacturing method, they are made tough, and an extra processing process for providing a watch window is added. The structure was complicated, and it was relatively expensive in terms of materials and productivity. It cannot be said that these gloves are easy to put on and take off because they are made tough, so there is a high need for further needs to know the time without being bothered while wearing gloves at a reasonable price. I can understand that there is.

However, it is a knit glove that is commonly used and widely used in daily life. Knit gloves have a completely different manufacturing method and structure from the above-mentioned gloves made of leather, etc., and have the feature that they can be continuously manufactured in large quantities at low cost using a numerically controlled flat knitting machine. The gloves that are made are clearly different. Knit gloves have high flexibility, and even if the degree of troublesome operation for visually recognizing a wristwatch is different, the user's intention to visually recognize a wristwatch while wearing gloves remains unchanged. If a knit glove that meets the needs of such a user is to be provided, the manufacturing technique for providing a viewing window for a leather glove as seen in the above patent document cannot be directly applied to the knit glove. Even for knit gloves, which are most widely used in daily life, not for special purposes, if there are gloves that allow you to see the time while wearing them, you can provide comfort to the user.

Based on the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a knit glove that enables the wristwatch to be visually recognized even when the wristwatch is worn so as to be covered over the wristwatch, and a method for knitting the knit glove.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by providing a window for viewing the wristwatch at the position of the wrist of the knitted glove that covers the wristwatch, and enabling the wristwatch to be visually recognized while wearing the knitted glove through the window. Specifically, it includes the following contents.

That is, one aspect of the present invention is that in a knit glove knitted by knitting yarn using a flat knitting machine, at least one of a pair of gloves, at least one of the palm side and the instep side. The present invention relates to a knit glove characterized by having a wristwatch viewing window on the wrist. The shape of the window for viewing the wristwatch can be any of a circle, an oval, a rhombus, a rectangle, and a slit.

Another aspect of the present invention is a method of knitting a knit glove by knitting a knit glove by knitting using a flat knitting machine, which is at least either the palm side or the instep side when the wrist portion of the knit glove is knitted. The present invention relates to a method for knitting knit gloves, which comprises forming a window for viewing a wristwatch by repeating each predetermined course with a reduction stitch for increasing or decreasing the number of wells on one wrist portion and then a widening stitch.

Still another aspect according to the present invention is in a method of knitting a knit glove in which a knit glove is knitted by knitting using a flat knitting machine, at least one of the palm side and the instep side at the time of knitting the wrist portion of the knit glove. One edge of the slit-shaped portion is formed by sequentially removing from the knitting needle by performing a predetermined number of well stitches on the wrist portion of the wrist, and a stitch is formed by the stitch forming means facing the edge portion to form the other edge of the slit-shaped portion. The present invention relates to a method of knitting a knit glove, which comprises forming a slit-shaped window for visually recognizing a wristwatch by forming a portion.

By implementing the knit gloves and the knitting method thereof according to the present invention, it is possible to supply a large amount of knit gloves that enable confirmation of the time even if the wristwatch is worn from above.

It is a top view which shows the knit glove which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is explanatory drawing which shows an example of the knitting method of the window for visually recognizing a wristwatch of the knit glove shown in FIG. It is a top view which shows the shape example of the window for visually recognizing a wristwatch. It is a perspective view which shows the glove provided with the window for visually recognizing a wristwatch by the prior art.

The knit gloves according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a knit glove 10 provided with a window for visually recognizing a wristwatch according to the present embodiment. The knit glove 10 is roughly classified into a four-finger part 11, a four-body part 12, a thumb part 13, a five-body part 14, and a wrist part 15 from the top of the figure, and as described above, the knit glove 10 is generally classified by a flat knitting machine. It is organized in order. There is also a knit glove in which the four-finger portion 11 is not independent for each finger and the four-finger portion 12 is integrally formed up to the fingertip, but the knitting method is basically the same. The knit glove 10 according to the present embodiment is also manufactured by the same manufacturing method as that according to this conventional technique, except that the wristwatch viewing window 20 is provided on the wrist portion 15.

Generally, knit gloves are knitted with at least a pair of front and rear needle beds, and one or both needle beds can be racked to the left and right, and a flat knitting machine that can transfer stitches between the front and rear needle beds. Is used. The knit gloves 10 according to the present embodiment are also knitted in the same manner as the knit gloves of the prior art from the four-finger portion 11 to the five-body portion 14, and reach the wrist portion 15 to form the window 20 for viewing the wristwatch. ing. As the method of knitting the window 20, for example, a method known in the prior art for forming a V-neck or a U-neck of knitwear can be applied.

FIG. 2 shows the state of knitting when forming a V-neck of knitwear using the flat knitting machine shown in Patent Document 4. In the figure, the knitting is advanced from the lower hem of the knitwear, and the stitches (wells) around the neckline are sequentially removed from the knitting from the center line of the body to the left and right to the lower end of the V-neck, and the knitting is inactive (at the maximum width). The flechage knitting (between the needle symbols GM in the figure) is repeated for a predetermined number of courses to form a reduced stitch. In the visual window 20 of the knit glove 10 according to the present embodiment, the stitches are gradually reduced by the same operation, and after the predetermined course, the stitches are sequentially increased and knitted (increased stitches). Allows the window-shaped portion to be knitted.

FIG. 3 shows various shapes of the viewing window 20. FIG. 3A is a round viewing window 20a shown in FIG. 1, and this round shape controls the relationship between the number of wells that increase or decrease the stitches and the course (that is, the course after reaching the window 20a). The ratio of the decrease in the number of wells to the number of wells is made large, and this ratio is sequentially reduced to reach half of the round shape and the number of wells is increased, and the ratio can be gradually increased). By changing the increase / decrease ratio of the number of wells with respect to the number of courses, the oval (including elliptical) window 20b shown in FIG. 3 (b) can be obtained, and the increase / decrease ratio is kept constant for each predetermined course. This makes it possible to obtain the diamond-shaped window 20c shown in FIG. 3 (c). Further, the rectangular window 20d shown in FIG. 3D can be obtained by reducing the number of wells once, knitting the predetermined course in the same state, and then returning the wells to the original state. The stitches displayed on the inside of the window 20 represent the stitches on the wrist on the opposite side (palm side) that can be seen through the window when the watch is not fitted. The clock face appears on. This also applies to FIG.

FIG. 3 (e) is different from the above, and shows a viewing window 20e using a notch-shaped slit. A manufacturing method for providing such a slit in a knit fabric using a flat knitting machine is also disclosed in the prior art as a method for providing a buttonhole in a knit product such as a cardigan (see, for example, Patent Document 5). According to Patent Document 5, when knitting a knitted fabric having slits, at the slit forming position of the knitted fabric, an arbitrary number of stitches continuous in the knitting well direction are subjected to stitch stitching and sequentially removed from the knitting needle. It is knitted by forming one edge of the slit, forming a stitch at a position facing the slit by a stitch forming means, and forming the other edge of the slit. The slit-shaped viewing window 20e according to the present embodiment can also be formed by the same method.

When the slit-shaped viewing window 20e is compared with other viewing windows 20a to 20d, the slit-shaped window 20e is a feature when the window 20e is normally used without being used for viewing as in the buttonhole. Since the wrist portion 15 is in the closed state, the wrist portion 15 does not feel uncomfortable and does not spoil the aesthetic appearance. In addition, since the slit is closed, the heat retention effect, which is the main function of the glove, can be enhanced. In addition, when wearing a wristwatch, just like the button stopped in the buttonhole, the wristwatch goes out of the wrist of the knit glove and the perimeter of the slit goes into the back of the wristwatch, just like when the wristwatch is fitted. Since the visibility is improved and the wristwatch is restrained by the slit for positioning, there are merits such that the wristwatch does not rotate or shift even if the wristwatch belt is loosely tightened.

Each of the viewing windows 20a-20e shown in FIG. 3 is merely an example, and the viewing window 20 having any other shape can be formed by changing the relationship between the increase / decrease in the number of wells and the course. Moreover, the setting of these shapes or the setting of whether or not to provide the viewing window 20 can be freely selected by simply changing the program of the flat knitting machine. In addition, some people wear the wristwatch toward the palm side instead of the back side of the hand, and some people wear the wristwatch toward the right hand instead of the left hand. It can be freely changed by the program. Alternatively, it is also possible to provide windows 20 in advance at all of these positions for the purpose of standardization.

As a summary of the above, the knit gloves 10 provided with the window 20 for visually recognizing the wristwatch according to the present embodiment are compared with the gloves made of leather or the like provided with the wristwatch viewing window according to the prior art shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2. The advantages of the case are as follows.
a) It is possible to inexpensively provide gloves provided with a window for visually recognizing a knit wristwatch that can be easily used. (Continuous knitting is possible by fully automatic using a flat knitting machine.)
b) Since it is easy to manufacture and does not require a mold, there are few restrictions on determining the shape and position of the viewing window, and it is easy to develop variations. (The shape etc. can be easily changed by changing the program for controlling the flat knitting machine.)
c) Unlike leather or the like, the same knit gloves can be used when the wristwatch is worn on either the left or right hand, as long as the wristwatch has no distinction between the front and back, such as work gloves.
e) Since it is flexible, it easily follows the shape of the wristwatch and has the effect of positioning the wristwatch. (With gloves made of leather, etc., if the position of the wristwatch and the window are misaligned, the misalignment cannot be easily corrected.)
f) It is possible to form a slit-shaped viewing window, which is difficult to make with leather or the like, and in that case, there is no sense of discomfort even when the wristwatch is not worn. (If it is made of leather with inferior flexibility, it is difficult to implement a slit-shaped window.)
g) In the case of a slit-shaped window, the window is closed and inconspicuous when not in use, so even if windows are provided on both hands, the palm side, and the instep side, the aesthetic appearance and heat retention are not impaired. In addition, since knit products have flexibility not found in leather products, similar effects can be expected to some extent in window shapes other than slits.

The knit glove provided with the wristwatch viewing window and the method for knitting the glove according to the present invention can be widely used in the industrial field of manufacturing and selling knit gloves.
