Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a gauge for knitting fabrics that can quickly and easily measure the number of stitches and rows of knitted fabrics, and that can immediately determine the number of stitches and rows of desired dimensions.

2. Description of the Related Art In knitting work, a worker usually measures the number of stitches and rows of the knitted work at the beginning or during the process in order to finish the knitted work to desired dimensions. The number of stitches/steps gauge is the number of stitches or steps per unit length, and from this gauge the number of stitches or steps required to obtain the desired dimension can be calculated, and the number of stitches or steps required to form diagonal lines or curves can be calculated. Calculate the allocation of increases and decreases. The stitches of knitted fabrics vary depending on the quality of the yarn, the thickness of the yarn, and the pattern, and in the case of hand-knitting, they are greatly influenced by the thickness of the knitting needles and the degree of hand-knitting. Therefore, even if knitting is performed with a predetermined number of stitches and rows, if the gauge measurement is inaccurate and the predetermined gauge is not obtained, the finished dimensions may be different from the set dimensions. Therefore, it becomes necessary for the operator to measure the gauge not only at the beginning of the process but also during the process. Generally, gauge measurements are made by counting the number of squares and steps in a 10cm square. Gauge measurements are also carried out using commonly used gauges, such as those described in Publication of Utility Model Publication No. 1984-466, but the number of stitches and the number of stages are measured in the right angle direction. In the above-mentioned gauge where the two scales are not perpendicular to each other, measurement is required twice, resulting in poor workability. For this reason, a stitch mager consisting of a 10 cm square frame with vertical and horizontal scales is often used. In addition, the number of stitches and the number of steps can be calculated by using the quick reference table for the number of stitches and steps, because it can be found from the measurement value of the 10 cm gauge mentioned above without calculation by table search. Tables are often used.

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

Knitted fabrics are generally knitted with elasticity. Therefore, during the work, the stitches are usually in a clogged state, and even if the gauge is measured in this state, it will differ from the gauge in the finished state. Therefore, the gauge is measured by expanding the stitches in the finished state. As mentioned above, in order to measure the gauge of the stitches in the finished state, the knitted fabric is usually stretched out and held down by hand, or the peripheral edges are held with pins, the stitches are stretched out to the finished state, and then the gauge or stitch measurer is applied over it. and measure the gauge. However, the knitted fabric itself has elasticity, and it is very time-consuming to fix the knitted fabric with the stitches spread out and apply the gauge. In particular, in complex stitches such as pattern knitting, there are many holes and unevenness, making it difficult to measure the gauge. When using the above-mentioned stitch measurer, it is somewhat easier to measure the gauge because the four sides are held down by the measurer frame, but the central part surrounded by the square frame may bulge or the stitches may be distorted, making it difficult to accurately measure the gauge. I can't. Further, after gage measurement, the number of stitches and steps to obtain the desired finished dimensions must be determined from the measured gage values. Generally, a quick reference table for the number of stitches and rows is used to find the number of stitches and rows, but the operator can separately prepare the quick reference table for the number of rows and rows and search for the desired number of rows and rows in the table. Must. Normally, in order to knit at a practical speed, this search process involves memorizing the value of the gauge mentioned above and searching for the number of stitches and rows in the table above based on that value. , Furthermore, it is necessary to memorize the retrieved numerical value and move on to the next step. therefore. This work requires skill, and the number of stitches and rows are often misread. The present invention was devised under the above-mentioned circumstances, and solves the above problems and facilitates gauge measurement of the number of stitches and steps, as well as making it easy to search for the desired number of stitches and steps. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gauge for knitting fabrics with a quick reference table for the number of stitches and rows.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following features:
The following technical measures have been taken: That is, the present invention has an outer edge in which straight line parts each having a length of 10 cm orthogonally intersect inside the plate-like body, and an inner edge that has straight line parts that oppose each of the straight line parts at a predetermined interval and parallel to each of the straight line parts of the outer edge. and L
In addition to forming a hole, a 10 cm scale whose zero point coincides with each other on each straight line part of the outer edge is used as a gauge for measuring the number of stitches and steps. A stitch count/column count quick reference table is provided that allows the number of stitches or knitting rows to be obtained to obtain a desired knitting dimension from the stitch count gauge or the stitch count gauge read by the stitch count/column count measuring gauge, and the plate-shaped body It is characterized in that a knitting needle gauge consisting of circular holes for measuring knitting needles corresponding to various knitting needle diameters and knitting needle indications corresponding to the circular holes is provided at an appropriate part of the knitting needle. In addition, by providing the 10 cm scale, the quick reference table for the number of stitches and rows, and the knitting needle display on both the front and back sides of the plate-shaped body, the number of stitches and knitting needles can be displayed on both the front and back sides of the plate-shaped body.
It is also possible to configure a tier measuring gauge and a knitting needle gauge.

[Functions and effects of the idea]

In the knitting gauge according to the present invention, first, inside the plate-shaped body, straight line parts each having a length of 10 cm are arranged at right angles at the outer edge, and parallel to each straight line part at a predetermined interval from the outer edge. An L-shaped hole is formed with an inner edge having a straight line part, and a 10 cm hole whose zero point coincides with each straight line part of the outer edge is formed.
It has a scale and is used as a gauge to measure the number of divisions and steps. The number of stitches and the number of steps are measured in orthogonal directions on the knitted product, so with conventional gauges that only have scales in one direction, the number of stitches and the number of steps can be measured by moving the gauge on the knitted product. In contrast, in the present invention, the gauge was placed on the surface of the knitted product, and the gauge was moved using the scale provided on the orthogonal straight line portion of the outer edge of the L-shaped hole. It is possible to measure the number of stitches and the number of steps and obtain the number of stitches and the number of steps without having to set the number of stitches. Moreover, in the present invention, since it is configured such that it is only necessary to count the number of stitches or steps in the part of the knitted product that appears in the L-shaped hole of the gauge placed on it, each straight line on the outer edge of the L-shaped hole is 10 cm by counting all the stitches that appear along the section.
Can accurately count the number of stitches or steps within the length without making any mistakes. Furthermore, since the distance between the opposing outer and inner edges of the L-shaped hole may be set to such an extent that several stitches appear, the knitted product can be pressed by the outer and inner edges surrounding the L-shaped hole. The knitted product does not bulge or distort, and the stitches can be counted accurately. On the other hand, even if there is some bulge or distortion in the knitted product, the stitches can be accurately counted while being corrected by the above-mentioned outer and inner edges. Next, in the present invention, on the surface of the plate-shaped body sandwiched between each straight line portion of the inner edge, a knitting dimension is applied to obtain a desired knitting dimension from the stitch count gauge or the plate number gauge read by the stitch count/column count measuring gauge. A quick reference table for the number of stitches and rows is provided that allows you to obtain the number of stitches or rows. In other words, the above-mentioned quick reference table for the number of stitches and steps is placed close to the gauge part that measures the number of stitches and the number of steps, and there is no need to prepare a separate quick reference chart for the number of stitches and steps as in the past. Of course, you can search for the desired number of stitches and steps by simply looking at the above quick reference table immediately after measuring the gauge. Therefore, the time from measurement with the gauge device to searching in the quick reference table for the number of stitches and stages is greatly shortened, and there is almost no need to temporarily store the measured values of the above gauges. Search errors are almost eliminated. Also, after measuring the gauge, depending on the gauge value,
In the case of hand-knitting, it may be necessary to change the thickness of the knitting needles and the degree of handing, so in the present invention, a knitting needle measuring device corresponding to various knitting needles is installed in the appropriate part of the plate-shaped member to confirm and select the knitting needles. It is equipped with a knitting needle gauge consisting of a circular hole and a knitting needle display corresponding to the circular hole, further improving the convenience of the operator. As described above, according to the knitting gauge of the present invention, the work of measuring stitch count gauges and row count gauges is much easier than with conventional methods, as well as searching for the number of stitches and row numbers to obtain the desired knitting dimensions. The work becomes easier, and as a result, the efficiency of knitting work can be dramatically improved.
