Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a knitting needle, a technique for knitting the knitting needle, and a knitted fabric processed by the technique.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Several knitting needles have been developed and are still in use as is well known in the art. However, because it has become so universal, it is hardly targeted for improvement, and its use is surprisingly limited, and its technique and its knitted fabric are merely reproductions of previously known ones. For this reason, it is inconvenient, and it is not possible to develop a novel technique, and the knitted fabric has little change in expression.

For example, there is a needle with a spatula. However, this needle is a knitting tool only for knitting (only for machine knitting), and there is a bulge part called a bat on a part of it, so if you forcefully pass it through the knitted fabric, the knitted fabric will be inflated with the bat. Since the knitted fabric is stretched and stretched, it is not suitable for the technique of inserting the knitted fabric into the knitted fabric.

Further, there is a tappy similar to a needle as an auxiliary tool for machine knitting. This tappy is used to remove the knitted fabric (back knitting) hanging on the machine from the knitting needle and hook it to the last knitted stitch for terminal treatment or to change the knitting part in the middle into surface knitting. is there. And this tappy has a spatula and no bat. Since such a tappy was developed as a hand tool, it has a short needle part and a large-sized handle part is long in the width of the hand. I can't do it at all.

Further, a knitting rod used for hand-knitting wool is known, but it is a thick knitting rod made of bamboo or wood to a certain extent and does not have a spatula at the tip thereof, so its use is specified. The technique can also be relatively simple.

[0006]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to provide a knitting needle, a technique thereof and a knitting fabric thereof, which enables a novel technique, by researching the above-mentioned conventionally known tools from a different point of view. To do.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, the shape and structure of the knitting needle is first devised,
The whole knitting needle is formed as a long and narrow needle shape, and further, a spatula portion is provided at one end of the needle-like main body and a hole portion having a plurality of threading holes is provided at the other end, and the overall shape and size are changed to the knitted fabric. The thickness is such that it can be easily inserted, and the predetermined width of the knitted fabric is such that it can be simultaneously processed.

Further, in the present invention, as a technique using the knitting needle as described above, an Afghan process is performed on the knitted fabric at the spatula portion and a stitch process is performed on the knitted fabric at the hole portion at the same time. Pulling up the same picot,
Crossing of picots, skiving of picots, threading, blade processing or edge knitting is applied to the knitted fabric, or holes are used to thread one or more colors of thread through multiple threading holes of the holes. , Stitch stitch processing, stitch pull-up processing, or thread processing by stitching is performed on the knitted fabric, or these processes are selected for each yarn and applied to the knitted fabric, and further along the knitting direction of the knitted fabric. Various processes are performed on the knitted fabric by passing a knitting needle in the longitudinal direction, the lateral direction or the diagonal direction.

Further, the present invention is directed to a knitted fabric processed by any of the above techniques.

[0010]

[Operation] When this knitting needle is passed through the knitted fabric with the hole portion first and the spatula portion behind, the whole is preliminarily formed as an elongated needle shape, and the whole shape and size can be easily inserted into the knitted fabric. The knitting needle can be smoothly inserted into the knitted fabric because of the thinness that is possible. Since this knitting needle has a predetermined length, it is possible to simultaneously process a predetermined width of the knitted fabric corresponding to the length at a time.

In the processing of the knitted fabric, the needle-shaped main body is provided with a spatula portion at one end and a hole portion having a plurality of threading holes at the other end. In this section, stitch processing can be performed on the knitted fabric at the same time or separately. In other words, by utilizing the spatula and holes, the knitted fabric can be subjected to techniques such as pictographing the chain, pulling up the picot, and intersecting the picots. Then, by utilizing the holes to pass threads of one color or multiple colors through a plurality of threading holes in the holes, processing such as stitch stitch processing and stitch pull-up processing by allowing the knitting needle to enter the knitted fabric. Can be applied to the knitted fabric.

Further, if the characteristics of the shape and structure of the knitting needle are utilized, the knitting needle can be freely passed in the longitudinal direction, the lateral direction, or the diagonal direction along the knitting direction of the knitted fabric, so that various processes can be applied to the knitted fabric. It can be applied alone or in combination.

EXAMPLES Details will be described below with reference to examples. For convenience of explanation, the knitting needle will be explained first, and then the technique and the knitting fabric will be explained. However, since these techniques and knitting fabrics have a lot of overlap with the explanation of how to use the knitting needle, the overlapping part is omitted. Only different parts will be explained. Note that the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the drawings, and duplicate description will be omitted accordingly.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the knitting needle 1 is formed in the shape of an elongated needle as it is from the one end 2 to the other end 3. A spatula portion 5 is provided at one end 2 of the needle-shaped main body 4 that constitutes the majority of the knitting needle 1. That is, the hook 6 is at the foremost end, and the hook 8 rotates forward and backward in the direction of the arrow A about the rotation support shaft 7, and when closed, the thread 8 engaged with the hook 6 is restrained or opened backward. A spatula 9 is provided to release the thread 8 from there.

The other end 3 of the needle-shaped body 4 is provided with a hole portion 11 having two threading holes 10. The knitting needle 1 of this embodiment is entirely made of metal, and the hole portion 11 of the other end 3 is formed into a shape that is flattened to a certain extent to widen the area and two threading holes 10 are formed therein. The overall shape and size of the needle-shaped body 4 including the hole portion 11 and the spatula portion 5 has a diameter D of about 1.5 m so that the needle body 4 can be easily inserted into the knitted fabric B (FIGS. 3 to 19).
The thinness of the m-th order and the predetermined width W of the knitted fabric B (see FIGS. 3 to 1).
The length L is about 20 cm so that 9) can be processed simultaneously.

Further, the direction C of the rotary support shaft 7 of the spatula 9 and the opening direction E of the threading hole 10 are in an intersecting positional relationship. By doing so, the operability of the entire knitting needle 1 when performing the Afghan processing on the spatula portion 5 and the stitch processing on the hole portion 11 on the knitted fabric B becomes very good, and various techniques described later on the knitted fabric B can be performed. It will be easy to apply.

The technique of using the knitting needle 1 may use the spatula portion 5 and the hole portion 11 at the same time, or may use each independently, and the longitudinal direction Y and the transverse direction with respect to the knitting direction F of the knitted fabric B. The knitting needle 1 in the X direction or the diagonal direction Z (FIGS. 3 to 19)
In some cases, the insertion direction of the knitted fabric may be selected, and one (same) or multicolored (different) yarns 12 (FIGS. 3 to 19) are passed through a plurality (two in this embodiment) of threading holes 10. B
On the other hand, both threads 12 may be subjected to the same or different processing. And by combining these, various techniques and the "processed knitted fabric" can be obtained.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 3 to 19, details of the basic technique and various processes for forming the knitted fabric B will be described below separately for the spatula portion 5 and the hole portion 11. The Bella part 5 basically performs “Afghan processing” and “chain processing”. “Afghan processing” means that the thread 8 is engaged with the spatula portion 5 of the knitting needle 1 and is held by the spatula 9 to keep the stitch 13 of the knitted fabric B.
A chain is formed in the lateral direction X by wrapping around the chain [state of FIGS. 3 to 4]. By repeating this state, the chain 16 in the lateral direction X is processed between the needle loop 14 and the sinker loop 15 [see FIG. 5].

"Chain processing" by means of the spatula part 5 utilizes a chain 16, and a picot 1 is formed between the stitches 13.
7 (see FIG. 6), or pulling up one picot 18 so that it can be hung on the knitting machine needle (knitting needle) 19 (see FIG. 7).
Or two picots 20, 21 with two needles 2 of the knitting machine
The knitting fabric B can be subjected to a crossing process (see FIG. 8) of a picot, which is pulled up to the cross sections 2 and 23 and hung up there to form a crossed picot.

Further, by using the spatula portion 5, the slanting of the picot 17 for sliding the picot 17 between the eyes 13 (see FIG. 9) and the threading for forming threads between the eyes 13 are performed. , Processing of the blade for removing the loop 24 from the needle 19 of the knitting machine at the spatula portion 5 to form the blade 25 there (see FIG. 19), or edge knitting processing for forming the edge by combining this blade processing with other processing. It can be applied to the knitted fabric B.

On the other hand, in the hole portion 11, the thread 12 of one color is passed through the two threading holes 10 and the knitting needle 1 is passed through the knitted fabric B to form a stitch 26 for forming a slip stitch 26 between the stitches 13. Sliding processing (see Fig. 11) and stitch 1
The stitches 26 obtained between 3 are pulled up by using the spatula portion 5 and the raised portions 27 are hung on the needles 19 of the knitting machine (see FIG. 12) or stitch 1
The knitted fabric B is subjected to thread processing by stitching (see FIG. 13) by slightly pulling up the smooth stitches 26 obtained between the three to make the thread 28 in a loop state by using the spatula portion 5.

Then, the knitting needle 1 is passed through the knitted fabric B at different positions in the lateral direction X to form two stitches 29, 29 between which a thick thread or cotton is passed to bulge the knitted fabric B to form a quilted embroidery process. [See FIG. 14] can be easily performed.
Threading multicolored threads (threads of different colors) 12 through the two threading holes 10 to perform the above-described stitch stitch processing, stitch pull-up processing, thread processing by stitching, and further quilting embroidery processing. It is also possible to select each of them and apply them to the knitted fabric B.

The longitudinal direction Y along the knitting direction F of the knitted fabric B
When the knitting needle 1 is passed through, check processing (see FIG. 15) or diamond processing can be performed, or knitting direction F
On the other hand, when the knitting needle 1 is passed in the lateral direction X, the stitches and chains obtained between the stitches 13 are slightly stretched with respect to the knitted fabric B to bring them into a "crepe" state, so that drawing can be performed. This squeezing process makes it possible to expose the kirimen of Kimono to a knit. At this time, if wooly nylon yarns are used as the yarns 8 and 12, the knitted fabric B can be easily pulled and the drawing can be performed correspondingly.

Further, by passing the knitting needle 1 in the lateral direction X, it is possible to perform the picot processing similar to FIG. 6 or the frill processing similar to FIG. Further, as shown in FIGS. 16 to 19, if the knitting needle 1 is passed in the diagonal direction Z with respect to the knitting direction F, check processing is performed, and the knitting needle 1 is slanted in the diagonal direction Z in both upward and leftward directions.
Diamond processing such that diamonds can be formed at the intersections by passing through, drawing processing, and picot processing can be performed.

FIG. 16 shows a case where the knitting needle is passed through the needle in the diagonal direction with respect to the knitting direction of the knitted fabric, and FIG. 17 is a case where the knitting needle is passed through the sinker at the diagonal direction with respect to the knitting direction of the knitted fabric. FIG. 18 shows a case where a knitting needle is passed through the knitting half of the knitting diagonally to the right with respect to the knitting direction of the knitted fabric,
FIG. 19 shows a case where a knitting needle is passed through the half of the knitted fabric in a diagonal direction to the left with respect to the knitting direction of the knitted fabric.

Further, the knitted fabric B is once removed from the needle 19 of the knitting machine, and the knitting needle 1 is passed therethrough in the oblique direction Z to give a margin to the chain or stitched yarn to form a frill there. It can also be applied to B. Diamond processing is suitable for quilting, and frill processing is extremely convenient because it can be processed at a time for the width of the knitted fabric B corresponding to the length L of the knitting needle 1.

When the spatula portion 5 and the hole portion 11 are used simultaneously as a technique, "Afghan" and "stitch" are used.
Can be processed at the same time and can be processed in multiple colors,
It is easy to apply embroidery or quilting embroidery to the knitted fabric. Further, by adopting the "rubber string" as the threads 8 and 12 in the above processing, the processing and the knitted fabric can be obtained according to the taste. It will be readily appreciated that a wide variety of flavors can be obtained by processing knitted fabric B by any of the above techniques.
