Description

Detailed Description of the Invention Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a knitting method for integrally forming and knitting various parts of clothing etc. that are knitted into a tubular shape using a flat knitting machine. The present invention relates to a method of knitting a tubular knitted fabric that reduces the tubular diameter of the fabric.

〓Conventional technology〓 When making clothing etc. using knitted fabric knitted by a flat knitting machine, a piece of knitted fabric is formed flat and knitted, and predetermined parts of the edges are sewn to form a torso or other parts. It was already known before this application that the part be formed into a cylindrical shape (Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-23022, Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-23022, Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-23022,
No. 53455). However, since the ends of the knitted fabric are sewn together, clothing made in this way has poor elasticity at the seam, and the seam protrudes into the inside of the garment, resulting in poor comfort when worn. There were some aspects that were unsatisfactory, and the fabric properties were also poor, and sometimes the seams frayed. Furthermore, since sewing work is required, the number of work steps increases, and productivity is also low.

〓Problems to be solved by the invention〓 In view of the above-mentioned points, the present invention solves the problem of knitted clothing, which was conventionally obtained by sewing the edges of knitted fabrics of each part constituting the sleeves, body, etc. In the fabric knitting process, the parts corresponding to the sewn parts are knitted continuously and integrally, and a knitting method for reducing stitches is obtained when one garment is knitted as a completed product. The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a knitted fabric with high fashionability by selecting the way the loops overlap and making it possible to express a fashion line at an arbitrary position.

〓Means for solving the problem〓 When knitting a knitted fabric in a tubular shape, in arbitrary plural courses, towards a predetermined loop of an arbitrary wale, loops adjacent to the predetermined loop of the same course and up to the edge of the knitted fabric By lacing the loops of each wale one or more times, and by stacking the predetermined loop and the adjacent loop an arbitrary number of times to create an accumulated loop, the width of the knitted fabric can be reduced, and the knitted fabric can be interspersed in multiple courses. A fashion line was created by the row of the above-mentioned integrating loops.

〓Operation〓 When a knitted fabric is knitted in a tubular shape using a flat knitting machine having needle beds arranged opposite each other in the front and rear, a predetermined loop of a given wale is overlapped with a loop of an adjacent wale in a given course. That is, the loop from the loop adjacent to the predetermined loop to the end of the knitted fabric is raked toward the predetermined loop of the arbitrary wale. By repeating this an arbitrary number of times, a plurality of loops are accumulated in a predetermined loop, and at the same time, the knitting width is reduced. A fashion line is then formed by making a plurality of the above-mentioned accumulated loops appear in an arbitrary course.

〓Example〓 Examples of the method of the present invention will be described.

Knitted fabrics incorporating the present invention include set-in sleeves, raglan sleeves, etc. These knitted fabrics are knitted using a flat knitting machine in which one or two fabrics are butted against each other in the front and back.

As a first embodiment, a method for knitting a set-in sleeve by knitting a sweater 1 shown in FIG. 1 using a two-bed knitting machine with a front bed F and a back bed B will be described below.

The sweater 1 starts knitting the body part 2 from the hemline 3 and the sleeve parts 4, 4 from the cuff 5 separately, and when the three parts are knitted to a predetermined length, the three parts are knitted together from the armpit part 6, 6. In the following, the knitting continues in a cylindrical shape toward the shoulder 9, but as an example of set-in sleeve gathering, the following is an example of how the fashion line 7 extending upward from the armpit part 6 ends the curved part and becomes vertical. This is about the organization of the course.

In the above-mentioned portion of the sweater 1, the width of the knitted fabric must be gradually reduced because the sleeve pile lines 8, 8 at both left and right ends of the knitted fabric are inclined. For this purpose, each stitch is transferred to an adjacent wale in two courses to reduce the knitting width. By this transfer, the overlapped portion of the two loops forms a vertically extending fashion line.

The knitting of the set-in sleeve knitted fabric whose organization chart is shown in FIG. 2 will now be described with reference to FIG. 3.

The organization chart for set-in sleeve gathering shown in Figure 2 shows a state in which knitted fabrics knitted in a cylindrical shape with front and rear needle beds are stacked front and back, with the thick line being knitted in front bed F and the thin line being knitted in back bed B. The figure shows a knitted fabric.

The organization chart shown in Figure 2 above shows only the right end of the width of the knitted fabric; a knitted fabric with the same organization also exists at the left end, and is symmetrical due to the reciprocating movement of the carriage (not shown). organized. Here, the knitting of the right end portion will be explained.

The course in FIG. 2 is knitted with front bed F needles. In Figure 3-1, yarn is fed to needles A, C, ... O, Q of front bed F to knit the front knitted fabric, and the same yarn is fed to needles R, P, ... D of back bed B by reversing movement of the carriage. , B to form the course of the second knitted fabric (Figure 3-2). The system that has finished knitting the course is reversed at the left end of the organization chart (not shown) and knits the course of the previous knitted fabric. The front knitted fabric is knitted in the same way as the course using needles A, C, ... O, Q of the front bed F (Figure 3-3).
With the subsequent reverse movement of the carriage, the course of the back knitted fabric is knitted by the needles R, P, . Then, from course to course, the knitting width is decreased by one stitch every four courses (every two courses when the front and back knitted fabrics are unfolded). That is, the course loops hanging on needles B, D, F, and H of back bed B are transferred to needles B, D, F, and H of front bed F (Fig. 3-5). And the needle K of the front bed F,
Move the course loops hanging on M, O, and Q to the needles K, M, O, and Q of back bed B (3-6

(Figure 3-7). Then, connect the course loops hanging on needles L, N, P, and R of back bed B to needles J, L, N, and P of front bed F.
Also, at the same time, the needles K, M, of back bed B,
Transfer the course loops that were moved to O and Q back to needles I, K, M, and O of front bed F. As a result, the needles K, M, O of the front bed F of the course,
Since the loop of Q moves to the neighboring needles I, K, M, and O, the loop of needle K overlaps the loop of needle I (3rd-
Figure 8). This is a loop overlap, ie a collection of loops, shown at 71 in FIG. 2, and forms part of the fashion line 7 of the front fabric. Next, return the racking so that the needles A to Z of the front bed F and back bed B are facing each other (Fig. 3-9), and then adjust the needles B, D, and
. . . Transfer the course loops transferred to N, P back to needles B, D, . . . N, P of back bed B (Fig. 3-10). As a result, the needle L of the back bed B,
Since the course loops hanging over N, P, and R move to the adjacent needles J, L, N, and P, the loop of needle L overlaps the loop of needle J. This is shown at 72 in Figure 2.
This is the overlap of the loops shown in , and forms the fashion line of the back knitted fabric (not shown).

Next, the course of the front knitted fabric is knitted with needles A, C, ...M, O of front bed F (Figure 3-11).
The course of the back knitted fabric is back stitch B with needles P, N,
...It is organized by D and B (Figure 3-12). After organizing this course, the course, becomes the course,
It is organized in the same way as in Figure 3-3.
-12 The steps shown in Fig. 12 are repeated again, but each time the loops are transferred and an accumulation of loops is created in the same way as described above, and the knitting width is reduced (knitting diagram omitted).

As a second embodiment, front bed FU, FD
Next, a description will be given of a method of gathering when knitting the sweater 101 shown in FIG. 4 using a four-bed knitting machine with backbeds BU and BD. The fashion line created by the stitching is shown at 102.
The structure of this part is shown in FIG. The knitting of the loose knitted fabric whose organization chart is shown in FIG. 5 will now be explained based on FIG. 6.

The welding organization chart shown in Figure 5 shows the unfolded state of the knitted fabric knitted into a tubular shape with front and rear needle beds.The thick lines are the top and bottom front beds FU and FD, and the thin lines are the top and bottom back beds BU and BD. Each knitted fabric is shown. In this knitted fabric, two stitches are transferred to adjacent wales every two courses in each of the front and rear to reduce the knitting width. By this transfer, the portion where the three loops overlap forms a fashion line 102 that extends diagonally.

The course in Figure 5 is the lower front bed.
Knitted with FD needles. In Fig. 6-1, yarn is fed to needles B, C, ... J, K of lower front bed FD to knit the front fabric, and the same yarn is fed to needles K, J, ... of lower back bed BD by reversing movement of the carriage. …
C and B are knitted to form the course of the second knitted fabric (Figure 6-2). The course following the course formation is the lower front bed FD needles B, C, ...J,
At K, the front knitted fabric is knitted in the same way as the course (6th-
(Fig. 3), with the subsequent reverse movement of the carriage, the needles K, J,...
A course of the back knitted fabric is knitted by C and B (Fig. 6-4). Then, in the next course, the knitting width is decreased by two stitches every other course for both the front and back knitted fabrics. The knitting width is reduced as follows. That is, the course loop hanging on needle H of the lower front bed FD is transferred to needle H of the upper back bed BU (Fig. 6-5). And up and down back bed BU,
Slide the BD one pitch to the left (Figure 6-6),
Lower front bed FD needles B, C, ..., F,
Move the course loop hanging on G to the needles c, d, ..., g, h of the upper backbed BU (6th
-Figure 7). Next, move the upper and lower back beds BU and BD one pitch to the right, and move the upper back bed BU and BD one pitch to the right.
The course loops hanging on the needles c, d, ..., g, h of the lower front bed FD are connected to the needles C, D,
..., G, H (Figure 6-8). This results in
In the organization chart shown in Figure 5, only wale H in the course has double loops, and the knitting width is 1.
Pitch decreases. In the illustrated structure, the knitting width is further reduced by one pitch (two pitches in total) in the course, but the further decrease by one pitch is the decrease in the knitting width of the course in the subsequent knitted fabric (indicated by a thin line). After that, the course will be followed again. That is, racking for overlapping loops is performed alternately in the front knitted fabric and the back knitted fabric.

Next, in the course of the second knitted fabric, the knitting width is decreased by one stitch. Move the loop of the course that hangs over the needle H of the lower back bed BD to the upper front bed FU.
(Fig. 6-9). Then, move the upper and lower backbeds BU and BD one pitch to the right (Figure 6-10), and move the needles B and BD of the lower backbed BD to the right.
C, ..., F, G, connect the course loops to the needles c, d, ..., g, of the upper front bed FU.
Move to h (Figure 6-11). Next, move the upper and lower front beds FU and FD one pitch to the left, and the needles c, d, ..., g, h of the upper front bed FU.
Move the loop of the course hanging on the needles C, D, ..., G, H of the lower backbed BD (6th -
Figure 12). As a result, in the organization chart shown in FIG. 5, only the wale H in the course has double loops, and the knitting width decreases by one pitch. In the illustrated structure, the knitting width is further reduced by 1 pitch (2 pitches in total) in the course, but the further decrease by 1 pitch is the re-knitting width of the course on the front side material (indicated by the thick line). The course is retraced after a decrease in .

Next, the re-reduction in wale H of the course of the front knitted fabric will be described.

As the next carriage moves to the right, the course loops hanging on the needles C, D, ..., F, G of the lower front bed FD are connected to the needles C, D, ..., F, G of the upper back bed BU.
Move to d, ... f, g (Figure 6-13). and,
Slide the upper and lower back beds BU and BD one pitch to the right (Fig. 6-14), and then move the upper back bed.
Pass the course loops hanging on needles c, d, ..., g, h of BU to needle D of lower front bed FD.
Move to E, ..., G, H (Figure 6-15). As a result, in the organization chart shown in Fig. 5, only the wale H in the course has three loops,
The knitting width decreases by 2 pitches.

Next, start knitting the second fabric.

In other words, move the loops of the course hanging over the needles C, D, ..., F, G of the lower back bed BD that have been moved one pitch to the right to the upper front bed.
Move to needles d, e, ..., f, g of FU (6-1
Figure 6). Then, move the upper and lower back beds BU and BD one pitch to the left, and move the upper front bed.
Pass the course loops hanging on the needles D, E, ..., G, H of FU to the needle d of the lower backbed BD.
Move to e,...,g,h (Figure 6-17).

As a result, it is possible to obtain knitting in which the loops are tripled in the course wale H of both the front and rear knitted fabrics, and the knitting width is reduced by two stitches.

Next, we move on to the organization of the course.

The course is needles D, E, on the lower front bed.

(Fig. 18) Then, by reversing the carriage, the course is knitted by feeding the yarn to the needles K, J, ..., E, D of the lower backbed BD (Fig. 6-19).
figure).

The course in FIG. 5 is a repetition of the above-mentioned arrangement.

Loop accumulation points 171, 172, 173, 174 of courses with reduced knitting widths due to the above knitting...
Depending on the degree of loop accumulation in the knitted fabric and the number of wales in which the loops are accumulated, the knitting width of the knitted fabric can be reduced slowly or rapidly.

The rows of loop accumulation points, that is, 71, 73, . . . and 171, 173 for the front knitted fabric, and 72, 74, . 102 is configured.
Therefore, if the accumulation of the loops is caused to occur in the same wale, the fashion lines 7, 102 will be vertically straight, and if the developed wales are successively transferred to the next, the fashion lines will be diagonal. manifest.

<Effects of the Invention> The present invention employs the method described above to reduce the knitting width in the knitting process and to obtain a tubular knitted fabric that does not require any sewing work. By changing the order of movement of the loops, the ratio of decrease in stitches to courses or wales, the number of stitches to be moved, and the number of times of movement, it is possible to create a fabric line that extends to a desired angle and length. It can be discovered at will.
