Claims

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] In a supporter made of a circular knitted fabric that has been given strong elasticity by knitting or inserting elastic yarn into the knitted structure, only between the wales in the area located outside the bending part. The number of courses is increased as appropriate, and the tightening force of the knitted fabrics adjacent above and below is made greater than that of the knitted fabric of the increased course portion, and the knitting yarn of the increased course portion is bonded to the knitted fabric adjacent to the increased course portion. A supporter characterized in that it is cut near the boundary and does not intrude into adjacent knitted fabrics for a long time. [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a supporter used to protect joints and the like. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, supports made of circular knitted fabric into a cylindrical shape have been known as supports used to protect joints and the like. Supporters made of circular knitted fabric in a cylindrical shape are made by inserting polyurethane elastic threads or other stretchable threads into the knitted structure in order to exhibit strong stretchability in the course direction, or by inserting polyurethane elastic threads or other stretchable threads into the knitted fabric, or by making them stretchable in the wale direction as well. In order to express this, it has been practiced to knit by aligning stretchable threads similar to those described above as ground threads constituting the stitches, and furthermore to use stretchable threads as ground threads. Circular knitted fabrics knitted with stretchable yarns as described above have a large thickness, making it difficult to bend and bend the joints when worn on the joints. Therefore, it was devised to make the part of the supporter that is on the inside of the joint a thin material to make the joint more flexible. One example is Jikko No. 56-46778. This supporter is
Most of the knitted fabric is knitted with plating stitches containing stretchable yarns, but the part that corresponds to the inside of the joint is made thin by using only a portion of the knitting yarn that has been used for other parts. Since the knitted fabric on the inside of the joint is thin, this kind of supporter overcomes the disadvantage that when bending the joint, the fabric gets stuck inside the joint and makes it difficult to bend the joint, but the supporter is made of circular knitted fabric. Generally speaking, the knitted fabric on the front side of the joint, which stretches on the outside of the joint when the joint is bent, is the same as the knitted fabric that surrounds the legs and arms adjacent to the joint. Because it is knitted in a number of courses, if the knitted fabric is knitted in such a way that when the joint part is bent, the knitted fabric stretches according to the bending of the joint. The tightening effect on the arms, etc. decreases, causing the supporter worn to fall off. To prevent this, if the tightening effect of the knitted fabric is strengthened, when the joint is bent, the entire surface of the joint will be unnecessarily stretched when the knitted fabric is stretched. This has disadvantages such as being compressed, hindering motor function, and even pulling down the knitted fabric above the joint. [Problems to be solved by the invention] A supporter made of circular knitted fabric in a cylindrical shape and knitted with the same number of courses on the front and inside of the joint will cause the knitted fabric to stretch when the joint bends, causing the front side of the joint to This created a feeling of excessive pressure and the stretching of the knitted fabric led to the pulling down of the knitted fabric above the joint, but the present invention does not cause unnecessary stretching of the knitted fabric in the joint area. It is an object of the present invention to provide a supporter that can be wrapped and prevented from slipping off when worn, and can prevent deterioration of the feeling of wearing on the inside of the bent part when bent. [Means for solving the problem] In a supporter made of a circular knitted fabric that has been given strong elasticity by knitting and inserting elastic yarn into the knitted structure, the gap between the wales at the part located outside the bending part is The number of courses is increased appropriately only in the increased course portion, and the tightening force of the knitted fabrics adjacent above and below is greater than that of the knitted fabric of the increased course portion, and the knitting yarn of the increased course portion is the knitted fabric adjacent to the increased course portion. It is cut near the boundary between the knitted fabric and the knitted fabric to prevent it from penetrating into the adjacent knitted fabric for a long time. [Example] The supporter 1 of the present invention has strong elasticity by knitting with stretchable yarns, by aligning stretchable yarns with non-stretchable yarns, or by inserting stretchable yarns during knitting. The applied knitted fabric 2 is made into a cylindrical shape, and increasing course portions 4 are provided only between appropriate courses between the wales of the knitted fabric 2 in a portion of the front side 3 of the knitted fabric that corresponds to the outside of the joint during use. In the knitted fabric 2 of the supporter 1 of the present invention, in the illustrated example, the base portion 5 excluding the increasing course portion 4 is made of a 1×1 rubber knitting structure, and is located between the needle loops 6 on the front side and the needle loops 7 on the back side. An elastic thread 8 is inserted. In the illustrated example, the elastic yarn 8 is inserted for each course in the base portion 5, and the elastic yarn 8 is inserted up to the increasing course portion 4. The increased course portion 4 is organized as follows.
In the example shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the increasing course portion 4
Two yarn feeding members are used to feed yarn to continuously knit the ground portion and one yarn feeding member is used to feed yarn to knit only the increased course portion 4,
One rotation of the knitting machine knits the base part 5 by two courses and the course part 4 by three courses. The course A before knitting the increased course portion 4 is knitted with a 1×1 rubber knit structure, and when the next course B of the increased course portion 4 is knitted, the wale a at the end of the increased course portion 4 is knitted. A yarn 9 for knitting only the increased course portion 4 is fed to a needle (not shown) for knitting. At the time of yarn feeding, the yarn end 9a extending from the needle (not shown) for knitting wale a to the nipper (not shown) is released from the nipper as the knitting progresses, knits several wales in the increasing course B, and the yarn end 9a
is knitted up to the wale b at the other end of the increasing course portion 4. End wale b of increasing course portion 4
When the knitting up to this point is completed, the yarn feeding member for the yarn 9 knitting only the increased course portion 4 moves back, the yarn is cut, and the yarn end 9b connected to the yarn 9 of the increased course portion 4 is released. At this time, the thread end on the side connected to the package cage is held by the nipper. After completing the formation of course B, next course C is formed in which the ground portion 5 and the increased course portion 4 are continuous. When knitting the above course C, the yarn end 9b of the yarn 9 to be knitted only in the increased course portion 4 that was generated when knitting of the increased course portion 4 of the previous course B was completed, is transferred to the knitted fabric 2.
The entire circumference of the knitting yarn 10 is knitted into the course C together with the knitting yarn 10. Next, course D is organized in the same way as course C. This knitting is repeated for an appropriate number of courses, and when the knitting of the increased course portion 4 is completed, only the yarn 10 for knitting the entire circumference is continuously fed, and knitting of the ground portion 5 is started. In addition, before starting to knit the increased course portion 4, the base portion 5 is knitted by continuously feeding only the yarn 10 for knitting the entire circumference in the same manner as described above. In the above example, in the increased course portion 4, yarn 9 knits only the same portion 4 and yarn 1 knits the entire circumference.
The ratio with respect to 0 is 1:2, but this ratio may be 1:1 or 1:3 or more, but is arbitrarily selected depending on the tightening condition, appearance, etc. of the increasing course portion 4. As a result, the increasing course portion 4 is as described above.
As it is a tubular knitted fabric, it is provided in the knitted fabric between appropriate wales and between appropriate courses at positions corresponding to the outside of the joint part when the supporter 1 is worn.
The number of courses increases only in the knitted fabric that touches the outer part of the joint when worn. In the above example, since the stretchable yarn 8 is knitted in a course that goes around the tubular knitted fabric, the knitted ivy knitted fabric 2 is in a contracted state as a whole. Therefore, the yarn 9 knitted only in the increasing course portion 4
is buried in the shrunken knitted fabric and is particularly noticeable and does not increase the length of the increased course portion 4 in the wale direction, but some bulge occurs. In addition, the stretchable yarn 8 is inserted in all courses of the knitted fabric in the ground portion 5, whereas the stretchable yarn 8 is not inserted in all courses in the increased course portion 4, so the elasticity of the knitted fabric is It is smaller than the base part 5. [Effect of the invention] The present supporter has an increasing course part on the outside where the joint bends, and the number of courses in the increasing course part is increased compared to other parts, so when the joint is bent, The number of courses of the knitted fabric in the area on the outside of the joint that stretches during the joint is large, so the knitted fabric can respond to the extension of the entire surface of the joint when the joint is bent, and does not give a feeling of tightness to this area more than necessary. . In addition, in the case of the supporter of the present invention, since no more than necessary tension is applied to the knitted fabric corresponding to the extension part of the entire surface of the joint, when the upper and lower parts of the increasing course part bend the joint, the extension part of the joint is The knitted fabric will not pull it down, and the supporter will not fall off while you are wearing it. Furthermore, since the knitting yarn knitting the increased course portion is cut near the boundary with the adjacent knitted fabric, the end of the knitting yarn knitting the increased course portion does not penetrate into the adjacent knitted fabric for a long time. The adjacent knitted fabrics do not become too thick, and the feeling of wearing does not deteriorate when bent.
