Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a rib knitted fabric excellent in visual appearance and strength by knitting a pair of fabrics respectively through a pair of back-and- forth beds and uniting both the fabrics on the outside of the side edge while preventing a binding thread from swelling. CONSTITUTION:This is a rib knitting by a flat knitting machine equipped with one or more pairs of back-and-forth needle beds and feeders. In this rib knitting, the outermost needle I among needles A to H of the front needle bed 1 is set at a position outside the outermost needle (h) among the needles (a) to (h) of the rear needle bed 2 and allowed to perform as an empty needle. A thread is alternately fed through a feeder 3 to the needles A to H of the front needle bed 1 and the needles (a) to (h) of the rear needle bed 2 to perform rib knitting. The feeder 3 is then moved right, displaced to a position outside the knitting area and subsequently inverted. During the course of this operations, a thread is fed to the empty needle I to form a stitch. The feeder 3 is then inverted again and moved outside the knitted fabric. The feeder 3 is subsequently inverted again and a thread is alternately fed to the needles A to H and (a) to (h) of both the beds 1 and 2 to perform rib knitting.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rib knitting method using a flat knitting machine having at least a pair of front and rear needle beds and a yarn feeder, and more particularly to improving the appearance and durability of side edges of a rib knitted fabric. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A rib knitting structure knitted on a pair of front and rear needle beds facing each other is thicker than a flat knitting structure knitting using only one needle bed and is excellent in stretchability and mold holding property. Therefore, a rib knitting structure is often used for a collar part of a polo shirt, a peg part of a cardigan and the like, which are often stretched by applying force when worn. In the well-known rib knitting method, no special treatment is applied to the side edge of the rib knitted fabric, and in the course toward the side edge of the knitted fabric, the yarn feeder is moved to the outside of the side edge, and Up to the needles on the side edges of the wales, the needles of both the front and rear needle beds are alternately fed and ribbed. Next, the yarn feeder is reversed and moved to the inner side of the knitted fabric, and the needles for the stitches of the outermost edge wale are alternately fed to the needles of the front and rear needle beds for rib knitting. The rib knitting structure knitted in this way is shown in FIG. In the rib knitting structure of FIG. 11, the knitting yarn is in the course toward the side edge of the knitted fabric and the knitting yarn is the stitch (10
1) is formed, and the next stitch (103) of the same wale is formed in the course toward the inside of the next knitted fabric. Since the yarn feeder reverses outside the knitted fabric and advances to the inside of the knitted fabric, the stitch (10
The transition yarn (102) between the (1) and (103) is formed by the stitch (1
01) starting from the outside as viewed from the knitted fabric, reversing at the outside of the knitted fabric, changing the vertical direction in the figure, and crossing over the stitch (103). This is because after the yarn is fed to the needle for the outermost edge wale in the course toward the side edge of the knitted fabric, the yarn feeder is reversed and the same needle is fed again in the next course. Crossing thread (10
2) starts from the outside of the stitch (101) and is reversed on the outside of the knitted fabric. Therefore, the transition yarn (102) bulges outside the side edge of the knitted fabric, and this bulge appears on the side edge of the knitted fabric,
Uneven lines appear in a wavy pattern on the side edge of the knitted fabric, which spoils the appearance. Assuming that the lower structure of FIG. 11 is knitted in the front bed and the upper structure is knitted in the back bed, the outermost edge stitch (103) (knitting in the front bed) in the course to the inside of the knitted fabric is In the next stitch knitted in the back bed, the cross stitch (10
It is connected in 4). However, the transition yarn (104) is inside the side edge of the knitted fabric (left side of the stitches (101), (103) in the figure).
Through the outside of the side edge. In addition, crossover thread (10
2) is the stitches (101), (103) knitted in the front bed
And the stitches (101) on the front bed side and the stitches on the rear bed side are not connected. As described above, since there is no crossover yarn connecting the stitches on the front bed side and the stitches on the rear bed side outside the side edge of the knitted fabric, the knitted fabric lacks strength at the side edge and lacks durability. Therefore, if a force is repeatedly applied to the side edges of the knitted fabric by repeatedly putting on and taking off the clothes, the rib knitted fabric is easily damaged from the side edges. It is known to knit the rib knitted fabric of FIG. 12 in order to solve the problem that the crossover yarn (102) swells to the outside of the knitted fabric and impairs the appearance in the rib structure of FIG. 11. In this knitting method, several wales (three wales in the figure) of the flat knitting structure are knitted on the side edges of the rib knitted fabric, and the curl of the edges of the plain knitting structure is curled in the direction A of the figure. (105) and the like are curled in the A direction, and the crossover yarn (10
Make sure that 6) does not expand outside the knitted fabric. However, in this method, the side edges of the knitted fabric have a flat knitting structure, and the strength of the side edges is still insufficient.

[0003]

The objects of the present invention are as follows. 1) Prevent the crossover yarn from swelling outside the side edges of the rib knitted fabric, and prevent the side edges of the knitted fabric from becoming wavy and uneven. 2) A crossover thread connecting the stitch knitted on the front bed side and the stitch knitted on the rear bed side is provided outside the side edge portion of the rib knitted fabric to reinforce the side edge portion of the knitted fabric. As a supplement to the reinforcement of the side edge of the knitted fabric, the transition yarns connecting the stitches on the front bed side and the stitches on the back bed side are prevented from being inverted in the middle so that the transition yarns do not swell to the outside of the knitted fabric. In this way, the reinforcement of the side edge portion of the knitted fabric and the improvement of the aesthetic appearance of the side edge portion can be solved without contradiction.

[0004]

EXAMPLE In this example, a pair of front and rear needle beds are arranged so as to face each other, and a large number of needles are arranged at a constant pitch in each needle bed. The needle pitch is the same for all needle beds. The needle bed has a long shape as is well known, and in this specification, the longitudinal direction of the needle bed is the lateral direction, and the direction perpendicular to the lateral direction in a substantially horizontal plane is the front-back direction. It does not matter which is front and which is back. The rib structure is arranged and knitted so that the needles of the front and rear needle beds are in principle laterally shifted from each other by a half pitch. In addition, needles that are involved in knitting the knitted fabric, that is, needles that form a stitch, are referred to as needles corresponding to the knitted fabric in this specification. In the examples, since the explanation will be given by ignoring the addition or reduction of the stitches, the number of needles corresponding to the knitted fabric will be constant, but if there is any increase or reduction of the stitches, the number of needles corresponding to the knitted fabric will be constant. is not. Although a plurality of yarn feeders are provided, for the sake of simplicity, one yarn feeder will be described as an example. The side edge knitting to which the present invention is applied is applied to at least one side edge of the rib knitted fabric. For example, in the case of a polo shirt placket or a cardigan placket, the upper edge of the plaque or the inner edge of the placket is important, and in principle, the present invention is applied to this part. The lower part of the collar and the outside of the placket can be knitted integrally with, for example, the flat knitting structure of the front body. In this case, the lower part of the collar and the outside of the placket have no side edges of the rib structure.

The rib knitting method will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the examples, for convenience of description, the case where the present invention is applied only to the right side edge of the rib knitted fabric is described, and the number of needles used is shown to be smaller than the actual number. The rib knitting structure is knitted with the front and rear needle beds shifted to the left and right by half the pitch of the needle array, and even if the same number of needles is used on both the front and rear needle beds, the needles located at the end of the knitting area The positions of the needles on the front and rear needle beds differ by half a pitch. Therefore, in the embodiment, the outermost wale of the knitted fabric is the outermost edge wale, the next inner wale is the second lateral edge wale, and the needles are shown corresponding to these wales. Further, when focusing on one bed, the needle that is involved in the stitch formation on the most side edge side in that bed is the outermost needle. The embodiment is the first embodiment (FIGS. 1 and 2), its modification (FIGS. 3 and 4), the second embodiment (FIGS. 5 and 6) and its modification (FIGS. 7 and 8), Three
The embodiment shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 in order, and the matters shown in the first embodiment are applicable to various modifications and other embodiments as they are, unless otherwise specified.

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 shows a knitting course diagram of the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 shows a structure of a side edge portion of a rib knitted fabric obtained. In FIG. 1, (1) is the front needle bed,
(2) shows a back needle bed, these beds are opposed to each other in the front and rear direction, have a long number of needles, and among the needles on the front bed (1), needles corresponding to the stitches, that is, knitting The needle in the area is indicated by (A-I), and among the needles on the back bed (2),
The needles corresponding to the stitches are indicated by (ah). Front bed (1)
There are nine needles (A-I) shown in FIG. 2, there are many needles for knitting the inside of the rib tissue on the left side of the figure, and the needles (a-h) shown in the back bed (2) are Eight, on the left side of which are a number of needles for knitting the inside of the rib tissue. Needle beds (1), (2)
Is not limited to a pair, but a flat knitting machine having, for example, four needle beds may be used, and a pair of them may be used in the present invention. In the example, needle (I) is the needle for the outermost edge wale and needle (h) is the needle for the second edge wale,
The needles (I) and (h) are the outermost needles of the beds (1) and (2), respectively, and the right side edge of the rib knitted fabric is on the needle (I). (3) is a yarn feeder, and one yarn feeder is shown here, but a plurality of yarn feeders may be used. The arrow on the right side of FIG. 1 indicates the moving direction of the yarn feeder (3), and the symbols above and below the arrow indicate that stitch formation by yarn feeding has been performed. The flat knitting machine used is a normal V bed flat knitting machine. In this example, first, in the course (FIG. 1-1) from the inner side of the rib knitted fabric (left side of the figure) to the side edge side (right side of the figure), normal rib knitting is performed up to the needle (h), The needle (A-H) of the front bed (1) and the needles (a-h) of the rear bed (2) are alternately fed from the yarn feeder (3) to form a rib knitted fabric. However, the outermost needle (I) of the front bed (1) is used as an empty needle, and the empty needle (I) is not fed, but the yarn feeder (3) is set on the knitting region (on the needle (A-I) in the figure). It is moved to the outside (on the right side of the figure) of the area on the needle (ah). Next, the yarn feeder (3) is inverted and moved onto the knitting region, and during this time, the yarn is fed to the outermost needle (I) of the front bed (1) in which no stitch is formed in the course of FIG. The yarn is formed into a stitch (Fig. 1-2). Next, the yarn feeder (3) is turned over again and moved to the outside of the knitted fabric without forming a stitch, that is, without feeding the knitting yarn to any needle (FIGS. 1-3).
Next, the yarn feeder (3) is turned over again and moved to the inside of the knitted fabric, during which all needles (AI) corresponding to the knitted fabric,
The yarns (a-h) are alternately fed from the yarn feeder (3) and rib-knitted (Fig. 1-4). The course shown in FIGS. 1-4 is a normal rib knitting course.

The obtained rib knitted fabric is shown in FIG. X- in the figure
The X-rays show the center line of the needle bed gaps of the front and rear needle beds (1) and (2), and the symbol (F-I, f-h) in the figure represents the needle used for knitting. In the course toward the side edge of the knitted fabric in FIG. 1-1, the knitting yarn is not supplied to the needle (I), and the needle (h) forms the final stitch (10). The needle (I) is fed from right to left in FIGS. 1-2, and forms the stitch (12) of the outermost edge wale. In FIG. 1-2, the moving direction of the yarn feeder (3) is from right to left (from outside to inside of the knitted fabric), and the transition yarn (20) between the stitches (10) and (12) is the stitch of the outermost edge wale. Enter on the right side of (12). This is the opposite of the transition yarn (18) between the stitch (14) formed by the needle (H) and the stitch (16) formed by the needle (g) entering the left side of the stitch (14). In addition, crossover thread (2
There is no inversion in 0). In Fig. 1-3, the yarn feeder (3) is once moved to the outside of the knitting area, and in Fig. 1-4, knitting is performed from the needle (I) to the inside of the knitted fabric. The crossover yarn (24) between the stitch (22) of the outermost edge wale knitted by (I) starts from the left side of the stitch (12) and reverses to change the direction from the upward direction to the downward direction of the stitch (22). ) Enter the right side. The transition yarn (28) between the stitches (26) and the stitches (22) knitted by the needle (h) in FIGS. 1-4 starts from the left side of the stitches (22) and ends on the right side of the stitches (26), and is reversed during this time. There is no. The crossover yarn (20) connects the stitches (10) and (12) outside the side edges of the knitted fabric. Since the crossover yarn (20) that connects the structure knitted in the front bed (1) and the structure knitted in the back bed (2) is formed outside the side edge of the knitted fabric, the stitches (10) and (12) are firmly formed. The ribs are connected and the strength of the side edges of the rib knitted fabric is increased. In addition, crossover thread (2
Since 0) has no inversion, it does not swell outward and improves the aesthetics of the knitted fabric. Since the inverted portion of the transition yarn (24) is in the stitch (12), the appearance of the side edge is not spoiled, and the stitch (22) is knitted with the transition yarn (28) in the needle bed (2) on the opposite side. It is joined to the stitch (26). Because of these, the side edge portion of the rib knitted fabric having excellent appearance and strength can be obtained.

(Modification 1) In the embodiment described above, FIG.
In the first course of, the needle (I) (needle for the stitch of the outermost edge wale) was used as an empty needle and was fed to the needles of all other knitting areas to form the stitch. However, not only the needle (I), but a predetermined number of needles inside the same bed (1) following the needle (I),
For example, the needle (H) and the needles (G) and (H) may be empty needles. Such an example is shown in FIG. 3, and the obtained rib knitted fabric is shown in FIG. In FIG. 3-1, not only the needle (I) but also the needle (H) is not fed. In FIG. 3-2, the needles (I) and (H) are fed, and in FIG. 3) is reversed and moved to the outside of the knitted fabric, and the yarns are fed to the needles in the knitting regions of the beds (1) and (2) in order from the needle (I) in FIG. 3-4. Figure 1-1
In Fig. 3-1, there is one needle that is not supplied (Fig. 1-1)
Alternatively, the number is set to two (FIG. 1-2) or about several.
It should be noted that the empty needles whose yarn feeding is omitted in FIGS. 1-1 and 3-1 are fed in FIGS. 1-2 and 3-2, and are shown in FIGS. 1-1 to 1-4 or 3-1 to 3 In the knitting up to -4, the number of stitches to be formed is 2 for each of the needles (A-I) and (a-h).
In the rib structure of FIG. 4, since the needles (H) and (I) are not fed in FIG. 3A and the needles (g, h) are continuously fed, the outermost side knitted in the back bed (2) Stitch (10) (Fig. 3-
(1 knitting) is connected to the inner stitches (40) knitted in the same bed (2) in a flat knit pattern. The stitches (42) and (44) are knitted in FIG. 3-2, and the stitches (5
2), (56), (58) are arranged in this order. Stitch (1
0) and (42) are connected by a transition yarn (46), there is no inversion of the transition yarn (46), and the transition yarn (46) passes outside the side edge of the knitted fabric. Further, the transition yarn (54) between the stitches (44) and (52) is covered by the stitches (42) and does not appear outside the side edge of the knitted fabric, and does not cause a bulge in the side edge portion. The stitches (10) and (40) are continuously knitted on the same bed (2) in FIG. 3-1, and the stitches (42) and (44) are shown in FIG.
Since the knitting structure in this portion is different from other rib knitting structures, the stitches (42), (44) and the stitches (10), (40) are continuously knitted on the same bed (1) in two. The wales are drawn closer together, reducing the distance between the wales. In this way, since the wales corresponding to the needles (g) to the needles (I) have a narrow interval, a decorative line is generated, which gives the knitted fabric an appearance.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 5 shows a knitting course diagram of the second embodiment, and FIG. 6 shows the obtained knitted fabric. Front bed (1)
The needles (A-H) and the needles (a-g) of the back bed (2) are alternately supplied and rib-knitted, and then the needles (H) and then the needles (I) of the same bed (1). The yarn is fed to form a stitch (Fig. 5
-1). The empty needle is the outermost needle (h) of the back bed (2). Next, after reversing the yarn feeder (3), the empty needle (h) of the previous course and the needle (H) closest to the inside of the needle (h) on the front bed (1) are fed to form a stitch. (Fig. 5-2). After reversing the yarn feeder (3) again, the yarn is fed to the needle (I) of the front bed (1) to form a stitch (Fig. 5).
-3). After reversing the yarn feeder (3) again, the needle (h) of the back bed (2) and the needle (g) of the same back bed (2)
To form a stitch, and subsequently, the needle (GA) of the front bed (1) and the needle (fa) of the rear bed (2) are alternately fed back and forth to form a stitch ( Fig. 5-4). The rib knitted fabric knitted in this way is shown in FIG. Since the needle (h) is an empty needle in FIG. 5A, the stitches (62) and (64) are continuously formed by the needles (H) and (I) of the front bed (1). In FIG. 5-2, stitches (66) and (68) are formed because the needles (h) and (H) are fed, and in FIG. 5-3, when the needle (I) is fed, a stitch (70) is formed. Figure 5-
In No. 4, stitches (72) and (74) are formed, and thereafter, a normal rib structure is knitted toward the inside of the knitted fabric. (76) is a crossover thread connecting the stitches (64) and (66), (78) is a crossover thread connecting the stitches (70) and (72), and (80) is between the stitches (68) and (70). It is a crossover thread. These crossover yarns (76), (78) and (80) do not swell toward the outside of the side edges of the knitted fabric, and the two crossover yarns (76) and (78) are located outside the side edges of the knitted fabric. As such, the side edges of the knitted fabric are further reinforced. Next, stitches (62, 64), (68, 70), (72, 7) continuously knitted on the same needle bed.
In 4), the knitting structure is different from the part knitted by the normal rib knitting method (knitting method in which the needles of the front and rear needle beds are alternately fed and knitted), and the adjacent stitches are attracted to each other, and The space is narrowed. Therefore, a decorative line appears between the part knitted by the normal knitting method and the part knitted by feeding the needles on the same needle bed, and the knitted fabric has an excellent appearance. In the second embodiment,
Only the needle (h) is an empty needle, and the front bed (1) is shown in Fig. 5-1.
The outermost needle (I) was fed in a different order to form a stitch. However, as shown in FIG. 7A, the needles (g, h) were used as empty needles, and the outermost needle (I) of the front bed (1) was used. For the outer needle (I) and a predetermined number of needles (one needle (H) in FIG. 7) inside the outer needle (I), the order of yarn feeding may be different from the normal order. FIG. 8 shows a side edge portion of the knitted fabric when two empty needles (g, h) are provided as shown in FIG. The structure of the side edge of the rib tissue is
It is similar to the structure of FIG.

(Embodiment 3) FIG. 9 shows a knitting course diagram of the third embodiment, and FIG. 10 shows the obtained knitting structure. Figure 9-
In No. 1, needles (A-H) of the front bed (1) and needles (a-g) of the back bed (2) are alternately fed to form stitches,
The needle (h) is used as an empty needle. Therefore, following the needle (H) of the front bed (1), the yarn is fed to the needle (I) of the same bed (1) to form a stitch. Next, in FIG. 9-2, the yarn feeder (3)
After inverting, the empty needle (h) of the back bed (2) that did not form stitches in the front course and the needle (H) next to the front bed (1) in the traveling direction of the yarn feeder (3) The yarn is fed to form a stitch. In FIG. 9-3, the yarn feeder (3) is reversed and then moved to the outside of the knitted fabric. In FIG. 9-4, the needle (I) and the needle (h) of the front bed (1) are fed to form a stitch, and further the needle (ga) of the back bed (2) and the front bed (1). The needles (G-A) are alternately fed to form stitches. The rib knitted fabric knitted in this way is similar to the knitted fabric of FIG. 6, and the difference is that the stitch (70) of FIG. 6 is twisted to change to the stitch (90), which is accompanied by the crossover of FIG. Thread (7
The points 8) and (80) are changed to the crossover threads (92) and (94) in FIG. This is because the needle (I) was fed to the needle (I) in FIG. 5-3, and the needle (I) was fed to the needle (I) in FIG. 9-4. The transition yarn (94) between the stitches (68) and (90) does not swell in the side edge direction of the knitted fabric, and similarly the transition yarns (76) and (9
2) also does not swell in the side edge direction of the knitted fabric. Further, the stitches (64) and (90) knitted on the front bed (1) are formed on the stitches (66) and (72) knitted on the back bed (2) with rib knitted fabrics (76) and (92). Connected at the outermost of
The side edges of the knitted fabric are reinforced. Further, stitches (62, 64), (68, 90) knitted continuously on the front bed (1) and stitches (72) knitted continuously on the back bed (2),
(74) has a different knitting structure from the normal rib knitting structure. In these stitches, adjacent stitches are attracted to each other and the distance between the wales is narrowed. Therefore, a decorative line is developed between these wales and the other wales knitted by the usual knitting method, and the knitted fabric has an excellent appearance. In each of the embodiments, the case where the right side edge of the knitted fabric is knitted has been described as an example, but the present invention can be applied to the left side edge of the knitted fabric. In each of the examples, the case where the entire knitting region of the knitted fabric is rib-knitted has been described as an example. However, as in the case of knitting the front body of a cardigan, for example, rib knitting is only performed on the placket portion formed at the edge of the front body. And flat knit the other part,
A rib knitting structure and another knitting structure may be mixed in the same course.

[0017]

As described above, in the rib knitting method of the present invention,
Since crossover yarns that connect the structure knitted in the front bed and the structure knitted in the back bed are generated outside the side edges of the knitted fabric, the side edges of the knitted fabric are firmly connected and the strength of the rib knitted fabric side edge is improved. Increase. (Example 1, Modification 1, Example 2, Example 3) Further, since the transition yarn is reversed in the stitch, the transition yarn does not bulge outward and the side edge of the rib knitted fabric is excellent in appearance and strength. Part is obtained. (Example 1, Modification 1, Example 2, Example 3) In a portion knitted by a knitting structure different from the rib knitting structure, the stitches are drawn close to each other and the interval between the wales is narrowed, so that a normal knitting method is performed. A decorative line appears between the knitted part and the knitted fabric, which is excellent in appearance.
