Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to socks knitted by a knitting machine.

[Prior Art] Socks have elasticity unique to the knitted structure. To increase its stretchability, fully elastic yarns such as spandex are used in the knitting yarn.

[Problem that the invention aims to solve] Highly elastic socks can be worn regardless of foot size. Therefore, socks knitted with perfectly elastic yarns can be used by both children and adults.

However, if only completely elastic yarn is used as knitting yarn, it is extremely difficult to manage the tension during yarn feeding, and uniform stitches are not formed.Furthermore, the knitting yarn is extremely elastic, making it difficult to wear. For this reason, perfectly elastic yarns and non-perfectly elastic yarns, such as spandex and nylon, are twisted and knitted, but when this is done, the elasticity of the socks is limited.

Therefore, in the present invention, when knitting socks with perfectly elastic yarns and non-perfectly elastic yarns, the knitting structure is devised to make the socks even more stretchable, and the socks are comfortable to wear and can be worn by both children and adults. This is what we are trying to provide.

[Means for solving the problem] The socks according to the present invention have a total number of wales N in the instep area.
In the wales of several threads M (>N/2), which are more than half of the number of wales, there is a needle extraction gap without stitch loops due to tuck or needle transfer at a ratio of one or more per 3 to 10 courses, and the needle extraction For each of three or more courses with continuous gaps, one wale is shifted in the direction of the course and is formed continuously in the diagonal direction of the courses and wales. The total number of wales N in the sock are formed at approximately equal intervals, and the entire sock is made of completely elastic yarns a and non-perfectly elastic yarns b, such as spandex.
The composite yarn A and the non-perfectly elastic yarn B are fed at the same end and are knitted together.

Needle Removal〓All M wales with gaps are N
For example, if the total number of wales N is evenly distributed,
50 wales, when the number M of wales with needle gaps is 40 wales, 4 wales with needle gaps and 1 wale with no needle gaps are knitted alternately. Also, a wale with no needle removal means a wale with no needle removal per 10 courses.

The ratio of wales with needle removal to all wales in the instep should be as high as possible and be at least 70% (M>
0.7N). Further, it is effective to form the long continuous needle removal gaps in the diagonal direction of the course and wale so that they continue in a zigzag pattern in the course direction, with alternating downward and rightward directions.

A completely elastic yarn refers to a yarn that completely recovers its length when the weight is removed after being stretched 2 to 3 times in the length direction, and specifically includes spandex yarn and rubber yarn. On the other hand, a non-perfectly elastic yarn refers to a yarn that will break if you try to stretch it 2 to 3 times in the length direction, or a yarn that does not fully elastically recover its length after the weight is removed. This includes fiber yarns, such as polyester fibers, nylon fibers, acrylic fibers, natural fibers, and the like.

The socks are knitted so that the length of the sole of the foot is around 150mm when knitted, and then subjected to a shrinking process by applying moist heat and drying in a tumbler so that the length of the sole is around 70mm.

The basic knitting structure in areas without needle removal, including the soles of the feet, may be plain knitting, rubber knitting, or purl knitting.

[Effects of the invention] The socks of this invention can be knitted with high density and extremely small size because the needle holes are evenly distributed over the entire instep, but in particular, the socks have a certain number of needle holes. The wales form a band shape and are evenly distributed over half or more of all the wales in the instep area, and the basic knitting structure of the group of wales forming the band shape is divided between needle holes that continue diagonally in the course direction. Therefore, the entire instep becomes more dense and extremely small, and for this purpose, the ratio of wales with needle holes to all wales in the instep should be increased to 70% or more (M > 0.7N) as much as possible. If needle holes are formed continuously in the diagonal direction of the course and wale so that they continue in a zigzag pattern in the course direction, alternating downward and upward to the right, the basic knitting structure of the part without needle holes will change. It is even more effective because it is formed into a net shape that surrounds the area between the needle pullers.

In addition, since the fully elastic yarn is twisted and knitted with the non-perfectly elastic yarn, it is easy to manage the tension during the knitting process, and the non-perfectly elastic yarn, which is necessary for the strength of socks, can be fed at the same time. Because it is threaded and knitted,
The elasticity of the fully elastic yarn is not extremely limited by the non-perfectly elastic yarn required for its strength.

On the other hand, the socks of the present invention are not simply knitted with coarse course spacing and wale spacing, but are formed in a net-like manner over the entire instep area, with a dense part of the basic knitting structure surrounding the coarse needle-punching part. Also,
The entire sole of the foot is made of a dense basic knitted structure, and a perfectly elastic yarn such as spandex is twisted together with a non-perfectly elastic yarn and fed with another non-perfectly elastic yarn. Since it is woven together, it does not stretch extremely easily, so it has a moderate amount of elasticity and contractibility and a good fit to the foot.

In addition, the needle removal area also forms the pattern on the instep, so it does not affect the beauty of the socks.

As is clear, according to the present invention, the length of the sole is around 70 mm, which has more than three times the elasticity, making it possible to obtain socks that are comfortable to wear, whether worn by an adult or an infant. , the present invention is very advantageous.

[Example] The following two types of knitting yarns A and B were made using a sock knitting machine with a needle gauge of 1/8 inch, the number of needles in the sole 31 of the foot 42, the number of needles in the instep 21 42, and the number of yarn feeders 1.
The basic knitting structure is flat knitted, and socks with a sole knitting length L = 150 mm are knitted using the two methods shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
After that, it was finished by performing a shrinking process by applying moist heat and drying in a tumbler so that L = around 70 mm. Note that the sole portion 31 was entirely formed of a dense basic knitted structure.

The socks 11 thus obtained were comfortable to wear, whether worn by adults or infants.
