Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a ring needle for hand knitting used for knitting a knit product such as a cardigan.

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and devices]

 In many cases, it is necessary to change the knitting method for each knit product. For example, in the case of the front body such as a cardigan, the body is often knitted with knitting and the placket is knitted with rubber.

At that time, when the body and the placket are knitted with the same number of stitches using the same needle, there is a problem that the placket portion becomes longer than the body, and in order to solve this problem in the past. When the body and the placket are separately knitted and bound together, or when the number of stitches on the placket is reduced compared to the body, or when knitting is performed continuously with the same number of stitches, the body is a thick needle and the placket is thin. I knitted with a total of 4 needles, such as with needles.

However, when the body and the placket are separately knitted and bound together, there is a problem that the work is troublesome. When the number of stitches of the placket is reduced from that of the body, the number of stitches is counted. There was a problem that it took time to work. Also, in any of these cases, a certain level of skill was required to make the knitted fabric beautiful.

On the other hand, when the body and the placket are knitted using a total of four needles including a thick needle and a thin needle, there are the following problems. That is, for example, if the needle is currently being knitted with thick needles, one thin needle that is not in use has a stitch and the other one is unnecessary, so it is necessary to put this in place. In addition, it is necessary to lock a cap or the like on the needle tip of the needle with the stitch so that the stitch does not come off from the tip. Thus, in this case, two of the four needles to be used must be replaced alternately, one of the unknitted needles must be in place, and the stitches at rest There is a problem that the work is troublesome because it is necessary to lock a cap or the like on the needle tip of the hanging needle.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and provides a knitting needle that can easily and beautifully knit a portion such as a placket that needs to be changed in knitting method.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the ring needle of the present invention is characterized in that two kinds of rod-shaped knitting needle portions having different thicknesses are connected by a bendable connecting strip portion.

[0008]

[Action]

 The ring needle of the present invention having the above structure uses, for example, two ring needles having the same shape and the same thickness as a pair. Specifically, the thicker knitting needles of the two ring needles are used to knit a relatively loosely knitting part such as the body, and the thinner knitting needles are knitted to be a hard knitting part such as a placket.

In the above, when knitting up to the point where the thickness of the needle should be changed like the boundary between the body and the placket, a knitting needle portion with a different thickness formed at the other end of the ring needle in use is used. You don't have to change to another needle.

Further, when the break is moved from the knitting needle portion to the connecting thread portion, there is no fear that the stitch will come off from the tip of the needle, and there is no unnecessary needle at the knitting hand, which facilitates knitting.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the overall structure of a ring needle (A) according to the present invention.

The ring needle (A) is formed with a thick knitting needle portion (a1) at one end and a thin knitting needle portion (a3) at the other end, and a connecting thread portion (a2) connects both. The connecting strip portion (a2) is bendable and is thinner than the knitting needle portions at both ends. Hereinafter, the thick knitting needle portion is referred to as a thick needle and the thin knitting needle portion is referred to as a thin needle.

Bamboo is particularly suitable as a material for the thick needle (a1) and the thin needle (a3), but synthetic resin, metal, or the like is also used. A flexible material such as synthetic resin is used for the connecting strip (a2). The thick needle (a1), the thin needle (a3) and the connecting strip portion (a2) may be separately formed and connected, or may be integrally formed using a synthetic resin or the like. The lengths of the thick needle (a1), the thin needle (a3), and the connecting strip portion (a2) may be changed according to the use, but generally the entire length of the ring needle (A) is about 60 cm. Easy to use.

2 to 7 illustrate a knitting method for knitting a body and a placket such as a cardigan by using two ring needles of the present invention. Here, two ring needles, that is, the ring needle (A) and the ring needle (B), have the same thickness for the thick needle and the thin needle.

First, FIG. 2 shows a state in which after knitting the placket (1), knitting of the body (2) is started with the thick needles (a1) and (b1). When the knitting of the placket (1) was completed, the stitches (3) of the placket (1) were on the fine needles (a3) of the ring needle (A), but if they are left as they are, the fine needles (a3) ) The stitch (3) is easy to come off from the tip, and if another needle is in the vicinity of the two thick needles (a1, b1) in use, it will be hard to knit because of the hand. The ring needle (A) is moved so as to reach (a2).

FIG. 3 is a continuation of FIG. 2 and shows a state where knitting has been completed up to the end of the body (2) using the thick needle (a1) and the thick needle (b1).

In FIG. 4, the body (2) knitted to the end as shown in FIG. 3 is turned over, and the thick needle (a1) and the thick needle (b1) are used as they are, toward the placket (1). It shows the process of weaving (2).

FIG. 5 shows a state in which the body (2) is finished to be knitted from the state of FIG. 4, and then the placket (1) is knitted by using the fine needle (a3) and the fine needle (b3). The stitches (3) of the placket (1), which have been applied to the connecting thread portion (a2) in FIGS. 2 to 4, are returned to the fine needle (a3) again at this time. In addition, when the thick needle (b1) that has finished knitting the body (2) is moved in the direction shown by the arrow in the figure so that the stitches (4) of the body (2) come to the connecting line portion (b2). , The stitch (4) does not easily come off the tip of the thick needle (b1), and there is no extra needle in the knitting hand, which facilitates knitting.

FIG. 6 shows the knitting of the placket (1) from the state of FIG. In this state, the ring needle (A) is once completely separated from the stitch. In the ring needle (B), the stitches (3) of the placket (1) are applied to the fine needles (b3), and the stitches (4) of the body (2) are applied to the connecting strip portion (b2).

FIG. 7 shows a state in which the whole is turned upside down from the state of FIG. 6 and the front side is turned to the front again, and the placket (1) is knitted from the right end using the fine needle (a3) and the fine needle (b3). When the knitting of the placket (1) is finished from here, the state returns to that shown in FIG.

The ring needle of the present invention is convenient not only when knitting a placket as described above but also when knitting various pattern knitting, and a beautiful finish can be expected.

Further, it is not always necessary to use two ring needles as a pair, and instead of one ring needle, as in the ring needle of the present invention, one end is a thick knitting needle and the other end is a thin knitting needle. Almost the same use can be achieved by using the linear rod needle formed in the above. Of course, it is also possible to use the ring needle of the present invention in combination with the conventional needle having a uniform thickness.

[0024]

[Effect of the device]

 According to the ring needle of the present invention, when knitting a work including a portion where it is desirable to knit by changing the thickness of the needle, it is not necessary to switch to another needle, and therefore the needle that is not knitting at rest It is not necessary to put it in the proper place or lock the cap on the needle tip, and the troublesome work of counting the number of stitches is not necessary, and the above work can be simply and beautifully knitted.
