Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain soft stockings having a soft touch, a beautiful appearance and excellent fitness and capable of carrying out the knitting in a stable state. CONSTITUTION: The stockings are obtained by knitting at least leg parts (2) from a plaiting yarn prepared by doubling in multifilament yarn (1) comprising a monofilament having 0.5-3.0 denier size and a bare yarn of elastic fiber filaments and further knitting a knitted fabric extending from at least sural parts (4) to ankle parts (3) while reducing the yarn feed rate by raising the yarn feed draft of the bare yarn of the elastic fiber filaments and slowly reducing the stretchability in the transverse direction from the sural parts (4) to the ankle parts (3).

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to stockings,
More specifically, the present invention relates to a stocking having a soft touch, a beautiful appearance and excellent fit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various kinds of yarns have been used as knitting raw yarns for stockings, and as shown in FIG. 5, a multifilament yarn (1) composed of thin single yarn filaments (1a). However, it is preferred and used as a raw thread for tights to be worn especially in winter. That is, the multifilament yarn (1) is
It is suitable as a raw yarn for tights because it can contain a lot of air between a) and the knitted fabric that has excellent heat retaining effect, and is also suitable for stockings with a unique soft touch. It is evaluated as suitable for knitting yarn.

However, since the above-mentioned multifilament yarn (1) is usually composed of a thin single-filament filament (1a) having a denier of about 1.0, the single-filament filament (1a) may be caught during knitting. There was a problem that the knitting property became unstable. Therefore, attempts have been made to solve the above problem by applying strong twist to the multifilament yarn (1), but when applying strong twist,
Although the occurrence rate of problems such as catching is reduced, another problem that the unique soft texture is lost occurs.

Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present applicant has considered
In order to provide a stocking that enables stable knitting while taking advantage of the soft texture of the multifilament yarn, it is recommended that the covering yarn and the multifilament yarn, which have the elastic yarn as the core yarn, be used more than the covering yarn. Has developed a stocking that has been knitted together and has already filed an application (Japanese Patent Application No. 2-88970).

[0005]

However, since the stocking described above interlaces the covering yarn with the elastic yarn as the core yarn, the transparency is impaired and the horizontal stripes are conspicuous, resulting in poor appearance. There was a problem. Furthermore, the manufacturing cost of the covering yarn itself is high, and the problem of high raw material cost is inevitable.

Further, in recent stockings, in order to improve the fit when worn, the shape of the legs is changed by adjusting the stitches of the knitting machine to change the size of the stitches. It is done to match the shape of. That is, the stitches of the thighs are maximized, and the degree of stitches is gradually reduced to minimize the stitches of the ankles to match the shape of the legs with the shape of the legs and to expand and contract in the lateral direction. It changes sex. However, when the size of the stitch is changed by the stitch adjustment, the stitch density is inevitably changed. And in the legs of many Japanese women, the calf is much thicker than the ankle, so wearing this stocking will cause the calf stitch to spread wider than the ankle stitch. It was
As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, the calf part (4) looks lighter in color than the ankle part (3) in the leg part (2), and it is not possible to obtain a uniform knitted fabric feeling and the legs are The problem was that it looked short and thick. This phenomenon is particularly noticeable in dark-colored tights and the like, and its solution has been strongly desired as it gives a very clumsy image.

Further, in the method of changing the lateral elongation by adjusting the stitches as described above, since the cylinder diameter of the knitting machine is determined, if the size of the stitches is extremely narrowed to be small, the yarn will be burdened. Trouble such as thread breakage was caused. For this reason, there is a limit to reducing the lateral extension from the calf to the ankle to increase the tightening force, and some people may wrinkle the ankle or feel the tightening force insufficient. I didn't get it.

[0008] As described above, for the stocking, the soft touch, the beautiful appearance, and the excellent fit are extremely important factors, and the soft knitting is a soft requirement although the stable knitting is an essential requirement. The fact is that stockings that have a soft feel and excellent fit properties, and that even when worn, have a uniform knitted texture and can make legs look beautiful, and that can be stably knitted have not been provided yet.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a stocking having a soft touch, an excellent fit property and a beautiful appearance and capable of knitting in a stable state. And

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the stocking of the present invention has the following construction.
That is, at least the leg portion has a fineness of 0.5 to 3.0.
A knitted fabric that is knitted with a multifilament yarn composed of denier single-filament filaments and a bare yarn of elastic fiber filaments is aligned, and at least the knitted fabric from the calf portion to the ankle portion is bare of the elastic fiber filaments. It is characterized in that knitting is performed while increasing the yarn supply draft of the yarn while reducing the yarn supply amount, and the lateral stretchability gradually decreases from the calf portion to the ankle portion.

[0011]

As described above, in the stocking of the present invention, at least the knitting yarn of the leg portion has a fineness of 0.5.
Since a plating yarn in which a bare yarn of an elastic fiber filament is added to a multi-filament yarn composed of single filament of 3.0 denier is used, it is necessary to increase the number of twists as in the case of using a twisted yarn. It is possible to knit in a stable state without. Therefore, the soft texture peculiar to the multifilament yarn is not impaired, and the problems of transparency and appearance deterioration and the problem of increase in raw material cost, which are caused by using the covering yarn, are solved.

Further, in the stocking of the present invention,
At least the knitted fabric extending from the calf portion to the ankle portion is knitted while reducing the yarn supply amount by increasing the yarn supply draft of the bare yarn of the elastic fiber filament, and as a result,
Lateral elasticity gradually decreases from the calf to the ankle. That is, since the lateral stretch from the calf portion to the ankle portion is gradually reduced by decreasing the amount of the bare thread of the elastic fiber filament, the size of the stitch is the same in the calf portion and the ankle portion. . Therefore, when worn, there is no problem that the stitches of the calf part are wider than the stitches of the ankle part and the knitted fabric looks pale and the legs look thick and short.
Further, since the size of the stitch is not reduced, it is possible to apply a sufficient tightening force to the ankle portion without being limited to the cylinder diameter and the like, and to prevent thread breakage due to a burden on the thread. The occurrence of trouble can be prevented.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows tights (5) made by the present inventors as an example of the stocking of the present invention. This tights (5) has a panty part (6) for covering the abdomen and buttocks, like a normal pantyhose,
A leg portion (2) for covering the leg,
It is obtained by knitting a tubular body (7) as shown in FIG. 2, and by joining two tubular bodies (7) together and stitching the crotch portions (8) of each other.

In this tights (5), the leg portion (2) is made flat by a plating thread (10) in which a bare polyurethane elastic thread (9) is attached to a multifilament thread (1) as shown in FIG. It is organized in a volume. Then, in the leg portion (2), the knitted fabric extending from the calf portion (4) to the ankle portion (3) shown in FIG. 4 gradually raises the draft of the bare yarn (9) of the polyurethane elastic yarn. The knitting is carried out while the yarn feeding amount is reduced by going down. That is, by doing so, the stretchability in the lateral direction from the calf portion (4) to the ankle portion (3) is gradually changed without changing the size of the stitch.

The tights (5) are knitted by a 4-knitting machine having a positive yarn feeder on each yarn feeder. This yarn feeder is provided with two rollers that are closely arranged in parallel, and drives one roller to rotate the other roller and changes the rotational speed of the drive roller by passing a yarn between both rollers. As a result, the yarn can be positively fed while adjusting the yarn feeding draft. Thus, according to this yarn feeder, the yarn feeding draft during knitting can be freely set as needed, and therefore, by setting the yarn feeding draft of the bare polyurethane elastic yarn (9), The amount of yarn supplied can be changed to change the lateral stretchability of each part.

The tights (5) are produced by using the yarn feeding device described above and the multifilament yarn (1) of 45d / 36f,
The knitting is performed by supplying the plating yarn (10) in which the bare yarn (9) of the polyurethane elastic yarn of 20d is aligned with each other from each yarn feeder. Then, when knitting from the calf part (4) to the ankle part (3), by gradually increasing the yarn supply draft of the bare yarn (9) of the polyurethane elastic yarn to reduce the yarn supply amount, Lateral stretch is gradually reduced from the calf (4) to the ankle (3). Specifically, by increasing the yarn supply draft of the bare polyurethane elastic yarn (9) from the calf portion (4) to the ankle portion (3) by a factor of 2 to 3, the amount of the yarn supply is 1/2 to. Reduced to 1/3,
The stretchability in the lateral direction is reduced at the same rate. Thus, the tights (5) have a uniform knitted fabric feeling even when worn and have a sufficient tightening effect on the ankle portion (3).

As described above, since the tights (5) are knitted by the plating yarn (10) in which the multifilament yarn (1) and the bare polyurethane elastic yarn (9) are aligned, The filament yarn (1) has a unique soft texture, and has sufficient fitability comparable to that using the covering yarn while solving the problem of transverse stripes and the problem of cost increase caused by using the covering yarn. In addition, it is possible to knit efficiently in a stable state.

Further, in the tights (5), the size of the stitches is not changed by adjusting the stitch as in the conventional case, but the polyurethane elastic thread is bare at the portion extending from the calf part (4) to the ankle part (3). Since the stretchability in the lateral direction is changed by changing the yarn feeding draft of the yarn (9), the knitted fabric between the calf part (4) and the ankle part (3) is worn when worn. There is no difference in how it stretches or the shade of color.

In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the yarn supply draft of the bare polyurethane elastic yarn (9) was changed only in the portion from the calf portion (4) to the ankle portion (3). In addition to this portion, by performing the same knitting from the thigh portion to the knee portion of the leg portion (2), it is possible to more closely fit the entire leg and to provide a uniform knitting feeling.

In the above embodiment, the tights are used as an example and the multifilament yarn is 45d / 3.
6f is used, but the thickness may be within a range in which the elastic fiber filament has sufficient strength in a state of being aligned with the bare yarn of the elastic fiber filament and does not make knitting difficult. 5 single filament filaments of 3.0d
As long as it is configured to about 100d, it can be used. Especially for relatively thin stockings, 10
Approximately 30 d is suitable, and for stockings of relatively thick material such as tights, approximately 30 d is suitable.

Further, in the above embodiment, the bare yarn of the elastic fiber filament is the bare yarn of the polyurethane elastic yarn of 20d, but the elastic fiber is, for example, a synthetic rubber fiber,
Various elastic fibers such as natural rubber fibers, highly crimped elastic yarns of polyether polyester, polyether amide, and polybutylene terephthalate can be used. The thickness is 10 to 21 as long as there is no problem in strength and the necessary transparency is not impaired.
It can be 0d.

Further, in the above embodiment, the pantyhose type tights having the panty portion are taken as an example.
The stocking of the present invention is not particularly limited to this shape and can be applied to all stockings such as over-knee stockings up to the knees and full-length stockings up to the thigh root.

[0024]

As described above, since the stocking of the present invention is knitted by aligning the multifilament yarn and the bare yarn of the elastic fiber filament, the stocking has a soft texture peculiar to the multifilament yarn and covering. It is possible to solve the problems caused by using a yarn, have sufficient fitting properties comparable to those using a covering yarn, and knit in a stable state. Further, in the stocking of the present invention, at least the knitted fabric extending from the calf portion to the ankle portion is knitted so that the stretchability in the lateral direction is gradually reduced while reducing the amount of bare yarn of the elastic fiber filament. Therefore, when worn, there is no difference in the stretch and color shade between the calf knitted fabric and the ankle knitted fabric, and therefore the legs look neat and slender.
