Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pair of socks whose whole body temperately fits to the leg to give high foot comfort with high commercial value. SOLUTION: Using a flat knitting machine equipped with a couple of needle beds opposing to each other in the longitudinal direction, the knitting yarns are fed in zigzag to the knitting needles on the front and rear needle beds to knit the finger tips or the toes. Then, the knitting is started to form the cylindrical part 1 from the finger tips 2-6 or the toe to the leg opening 11 by round-knitting to give the objective sock. At least one of loop at both ends of the front and rear needle beds knitting the cylinder knit fabric at the jointing parts of five fingers is transferred to the other knitting loop so that they are overlapped. Then, a new loop is formed on the overlapped double loops to reduce the loop number of the round-knitted fabric to form the arch part narrowed from the root parts of the five fingers.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of knitting socks or the like. Here, socks and the like referred to in the present invention are
Not only the original socks that are formed in a tubular shape from the toes to the upper part of the ankle, but also those in which the upper ends of the two legs are formed in a tubular shape such as tights and the waist is formed, or the middle part between the fingertips and the arch. It also includes a short "toe cover".

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, socks are so-called conventional "socks" in which five fingers of thumb, forefinger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger are put together in one bag, A "finger sock" is known in which each of the five fingers is placed in a finger bag or the thumb and the other fingers are placed in separate finger bags.

When knitting these socks or the like, there are a knitting method for knitting from the toe side portion and a knitting method for knitting from the leg insertion opening side portion. In either case, the base portion of the five fingers of the leg, It has a so-called "five-body" width and is formed into a straight cylindrical shape up to the leg insertion opening.

[0004]

In a general sock, since a straight tubular knitted fabric is formed by the number of loops of a tubular small diameter portion, that is, the arch portion, each finger bag is knitted in the finger bag portion. There is a problem that not only the number of loops to be used is small, each finger bag has a small diameter, it is difficult to wear tightly, and it is uncomfortable to wear, and the product value is low.

Therefore, it has been considered to increase the diameter of the base portion of the finger bag to increase the number of loops of each finger bag, and to insert a rubber thread through the portion in order to match the constriction of the arch part. This rubber thread not only causes discomfort but also makes it expensive.

In order to secure the number of loops for forming each finger bag of the five-finger sock, for example, as shown in FIGS. 32 to 34, for example, before and after knitting the finger bag 2 for the thumb 13. The knitting needles c and d of each needle bed are also used as knitting needles when knitting the finger bag 3 for indexing, and the loop formed by knitting the preceding finger bag is pressed by a so-called "razor" or the like provided in the knitting machine. While the knitting of the following finger bag is completed, the knitting needle should not be disengaged so that the number of loops of each finger bag is increased as much as possible within the number of loops of the "five body" part, and the end part of the finger bag ( Some have been designed to reinforce the base) and to match the spacing between the fingers on the legs, but the number of loops on each finger bag is limited by the number of loops on the "five-body" part, and such a device is also devised. Also does not contribute to the improvement of the fit to the above-mentioned arch part at all Problem remains.

Furthermore, when the loop of the preceding finger bag is knitted with a so-called "razor" or the like to knit the following finger bag, the "razor" is formed until the knitting of the following finger bag is completed. There is also a problem that the durability of the knitting yarn in that portion is significantly reduced because the loop held by the needles is constantly rubbed by the knitting needles that come and go in the knitting of the subsequent finger bag.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide socks or the like having a high commercial value that the entire sock or the like fits the legs properly and is comfortable to wear. It is a thing.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, a method of knitting socks or the like according to the present invention uses a flat knitting machine having a pair of needle beds facing each other in the front and back, After soaking knitting yarn in zigzag over the knitting needles, knitting the finger bag or toe part, the sock formed into a tubular shape by circular knitting from the finger bag or toe part to the leg insertion opening, etc. In the knitting method of, of the loops at both ends of the needle bed before and after knitting the tubular knitted fabric of the base part of the five fingers, which is knitted out from the toe part,
At least one loop on one end side is transferred from one knitting needle to the loop of the other knitting needle and overlapped, and a new loop is formed in the overlapped double loop to reduce the number of loops in the tubular knitted fabric, It is characterized by knitting the arch of the arch part squeezed from the base of the toe.

A flat knitting machine having a pair of needle beds facing each other in the front and back is used to circulate between the front and rear needle beds to form a tubular knitted fabric on the side of the leg insertion port, and the tubular knitting is performed. In the method of knitting socks, etc., in which the ground is knitted from the leg insertion mouth part toward the toe part, between the arch part and the root part of the five fingers, both ends of the needle bed before and after knitting the arch part Among the loops of the part, at least one loop on one end side is also hooked on the empty needle of the needle bed on the side facing the knitting needle holding this, and the yarn is fed to both knitting needles respectively. Another feature is that the number of loops in the tubular knitted fabric is increased by forming the loops to form the tubular knitted fabric at the base of the five fingers.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of a knitting method for socks or the like according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. <Example 1> In this example, a sock with five fingers as shown in FIG. 1 is knitted, and reference numeral 1 in the drawing indicates a sock with five fingers as a whole.

This sock with fingers 1 has a finger bag 2 for the thumb, a finger bag 3 for the index finger, a finger bag 4 for the middle finger, a finger bag 5 for the third finger, and a finger bag 6 for the little finger, which are woven from the toes. Each finger bag of
The toe side portion 7 of the instep (so-called "five-body") knitted into one tubular knitted fabric by uniting these finger bags 2 to 6 and the arch of the toe side portion 7 of which the constriction is formed. After forming the portion 8, the heel portion 9 and the heel portion 10, the leg insertion port 11 is formed at the upper end.

Next, an example of a method of knitting the sock with fingers 1 using a flat knitting machine (not shown) will be described with reference to FIG. First, in a flat knitting machine, needle beds slidably attached with knitting needles are arranged in a front and back in a "H" shape in a side view with their mouthpieces close to each other, and the upper surface of each needle bed is A well-known structure is used in which the knitting needles are moved forward and backward by a sliding carriage and the front and rear needle beds are relatively movable (racking).

It should be noted that in the knitting course diagrams of FIG. 2 and subsequent figures, the lower alphabet in the figure shows the knitting needles of the front needle bed,
The upper alphabet indicates the knitting needles of the rear needle bed, and the state of FIG. 2 in which the positions of the front needle bed and the rear needle bed are aligned is the reference position.
In FIG. 2, the knitting needles e to n of the front and rear needle beds are fed in a zigzag manner, and the toe portion for the thumb is set up.
The yarn is fed to the knitting needles e to n of the front needle bed to form a loop, and then the yarn is fed to the knitting needles n to e of the rear needle bed to form a loop. The round course shown in FIG. 3 is repeated a suitable number of times to form a thumb pocket 2 having a predetermined length.

When the finger bag 2 for the thumb is formed, the knitting needles X to d of the front and rear needle beds in FIG. 4 are fed in zigzag, and the toe portion for the index finger is set up. In FIG. After the knitting needles X to d of the needle bed are fed to form a loop, the knitting needles d to X of the rear needle bed are fed to form a loop. The orbiting course of FIG. 5 is repeated as many times as necessary to form the finger bag 3 of the index finger.

Next, in FIG. 6, the knitting needles Q to W of the front and rear needle beds are fed in a zigzag manner to set out the toe part for the middle finger, and in FIG.
The yarns are wound around W and W to Q to form loops respectively, and the orbiting course of FIG. 7 is repeated as many times as necessary to form the finger bag 4 for the middle finger. When the finger bags 2, 3 and 4 from the thumb to the middle finger are thus formed, as shown in FIG. 8, the knitting needles Q to n and n to Q of the front and rear needle beds are circularly fed to the thumb and the index finger. , Each finger bag 2.3 up to the middle finger
-A so-called "three-body cylinder" 12, which is a tubular knitted fabric in which the four roots are united, is formed.

As shown in FIG. 9, the three-body barrel is in a state in which the ring finger 16 portion of the five fingers 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 of the leg is lowered by one step from the thumb 13 to the middle finger 15. Therefore, when the three-body barrel 12 is formed here, the three-body barrel 12 portion fits the stepped-down portion 18 between the middle finger 15 and the ring finger 16. In FIG. 10, the knitting needles J to P of the front and rear needle beds are zigzag fed and the ring finger 16
The toe portion of the finger bag 5 is knitted, and after knitting needles J to P of the front needle bed to form a loop in FIG. 11, the knitting needles P to J of the rear needle bed are fed. A loop is formed, and the orbital course of FIG. 11 is repeated as many times as necessary to form the finger bag 5 of the ring finger 16.

When the finger bag of the ring finger is knitted to a predetermined length, the knitting needles J to n, n of the front and rear needle beds in FIG.
A circular knitted fabric of a so-called "four cylinder" in which the finger bag 5 of the ring finger 16 is added to the above three cylinders is knitted.
When this four-body cylinder is knitted for a predetermined length, the knitting needles C to I of the front and rear needle beds in FIG. 13 are fed in a zigzag manner, and the toe portion of the ring finger 16 is set up. The orbital knitting course in which the knitting needles C to I and I to C of the needle bed are circularly fed to form a loop is repeated as many times as necessary to form the finger bag 6 of the little finger 17.

After the five finger pouches 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are formed in this manner, they are wound around the knitting needles C to n and n to C of the front and rear needle beds as shown in FIG. A tubular knitted fabric of a so-called "five-body drum" (root portion of the finger) 7 in which the finger bag 6 of the little finger 17 is added to the above four-body drum is knitted. This figure 1
When the orbital knitting of No. 5 is performed for a predetermined course to reach the arched part 8 constricted from the base of the toe of the leg, as shown in FIG. 16, the loop of the knitting needle n on the thumb 13 side of the rear needle bed is moved to the front needle bed. 17 of the knitting needles of FIG.
When the knitting needles C to n of the front side needle bed and the rear side needle beds m to C are circularly fed to form a loop, a loop on the thumb 13 side is reduced by one stitch from FIG. Become.

In FIG. 18, the rear needle bed is moved (pitched) to the right from the reference position by one pitch, and then the loop of the knitting needle n of the front needle bed is moved to the knitting needle m of the rear needle bed. When superposed, and in FIG. 19, the knitting needles C to l of the front side needle bed and the rear side needle beds m to C are circularly fed to form a loop, a loop on the thumb side is the second from FIG. It will be reduced.

Further, in FIG. 20, the rear needle bed is moved leftward from the reference position by one pitch, and the loop of the knitting needle m of the rear needle bed is transferred to the knitting needle l of the front needle bed and superposed. After that, when the knitting needles C to l of the front side needle bed and the rear side needle beds 1 to C are circularly fed to form a loop in FIG. 21, the loop on the thumb 13 side is the third loop from FIG. It will be reduced.

In this way, the loop on the thumb side is gradually reduced in accordance with the constriction of the arch, and when it comes to the part forming the heel, the knitting needles C to l of the rear needle bed in FIG. 22 remain looped. The knitting yarn which is made to rest on the knitting needle C of the front side needle bed is fed to the knitting needles D to k,
After forming the loop on the knitting needles D to k, the knitting yarn is tucked on the knitting needle l of the front needle bed. In FIG. 23, the knitting yarn tucked to the knitting needle k of the front needle bed is knitted
After the yarn is fed to E and a loop is formed on the knitting needles j to E, the knitting needle D is caused to tack the knitting yarn.

While repeating such knitting, the knitting needles M and b of the front needle bed shown in FIG. 25 are tucked with knitting yarns through FIG. 24, and when the knitting needles N to a reach the apex of the heel 9 having loops formed, FIG. Knitting needles M to b of the front needle bed
And the knitting needles k on the rear needle bed
To D to form a loop and to form a loop. In FIG. 27, the knitting needles L to c of the front needle bed and the knitting needles k to D of the rear needle bed are circularly supplied to form a loop. It

The knitting as shown in FIGS. 26 and 27 is repeated to gradually knit the tubular knitted fabric at the heel portion, and as shown in FIG. 28, loops are formed by the knitting needles C to n of the front and rear needle beds. When this happens, the knitting of FIG. 28 is repeated until the leg insertion opening 11 of the sock is knitted. When the knitted fabric is wiped off from the knitting needles of the front and rear needle beds,
The knitting of socks with five fingers forming a constriction of the arch and wide insertion width and easy to wear is completed.

In the above embodiment, the loop on the thumb side portion is reduced. However, as shown in FIGS. 29 to 31, for example, the loop of the knitting needles C · n on both end portions of the front needle bed is reduced. Knitting needle D on the rear needle bed
It goes without saying that the number of loops may be reduced by moving to m and overlapping them to form a new loop here.

In addition, the arch is knitted from the heel portion to the leg insertion hole while the number of loops is reduced.
If the loops reduced by the arch are divided by the heel portion and then increased again by means of increasing stitches, socks or the like that are more comfortable to wear can be obtained. In addition, the knitting yarn that forms each finger bag is made thinner than the knitting yarn in the tubular knitted fabric portion from the base of the finger to the leg insertion opening, and the stitch size of each finger bag is increased to make each finger bag If the thickness is thin, the area from the thumb to the little finger is not bulky, and it is effective in improving comfort and appearance of socks.

<Embodiment 2> Although illustration of this embodiment is omitted, contrary to Embodiment 1, the finger bags 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the toe to be knitted from the leg insertion opening 11 of the sock end. It is organized so that That is, the knitting yarn is circulated and supplied over the front and rear needle beds, and the supplied knitting yarn is pressed by a "sinker" or "stitch presser", and then the knitting yarn is further circulated and supplied to form a loop. Then, the leg insertion opening 11 of the sock is set up.

The leg insertion opening 11 of the sock is knitted out, and the ankle 10
When the heel 9 is passed through, the heel 9 portion is formed from the heel 10 side toward the arch portion 8 side in substantially the same manner as the knitting course of FIGS. Then, the number of loops forming the arch between the five arches of the base of the five fingers to the arch is increased. When the number of loops is increased, for example, the loop hooked on the knitting needle m of the front needle bed in FIG. 31 is also hooked on the knitting needle n of the rear needle bed at the same time, and the loop is wound around these knitting needles m · n. The number of loops in which the arch is knitted is increased by the so-called "split increase" in which knitting yarns are supplied to form loops.

In this way, the number of loops knitting the arch part is gradually increased to form a five-body trunk with five fingers, and when this five-body trunk is knitted, five finger bags are formed. It will be organized. When forming a finger bag for the little finger, for example, from the five-barrel portion, first, a knitting needle for forming the finger bag (knitting needles C to C of the front and rear needle beds in FIG. 14) is formed.
The tubular knitted fabric for the finger bag 6 of the little finger 17 is formed by the knitting yarn that is wound around the I), and the tubular knitted fabric for the finger bag 6 of the little finger 17 is knitted at the end portion on the toe side. Transfer the loops of the knitting needles of the front and back needle beds to the knitting needles of either one of the needle beds and superpose them, and form a new loop here,
This new loop is moved to an adjacent horizontal loop and sequentially subjected to a bind-off process for forming a loop, and the tubular knitted fabric for the little finger's finger bag is removed from the knitting needle.

When each finger bag is formed in a manner substantially similar to the knitting of the finger bag 6 of the little finger 17, the base portion of the finger bag can be made large while the arch portion 8 is constricted, so that the finger width is wide. The five-finger socks are formed so that the fingers can easily fit into their respective finger bags and are easy to wear.

In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, five-finger socks are described as an example, but it is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to socks without fingers or short socks from the toes to the middle of the arch. The present invention is not limited to socks that extend from the toes to the ankles above the ankle, and an over knee with a leg insertion opening opening at the thigh position or further left and right over knees connected in a single tubular shape above the waist. It goes without saying that the tights formed with can be applied.

[0032]

As described above, the present invention has a large number of loops with a large number of loops at the base of the five fingers, regardless of whether the knitting is performed from the toe side or the leg insertion opening side. And, because the number of loops is small in the arch part, it is possible to knit a constriction with a small diameter,
When socks and the like knitted by the method of the present invention are put on, there is an advantage that socks and the like having a suitable fit and a high commercial value can be produced which are appropriately fitted to the root part and the arch part of the five fingers.

Moreover, since the arch part can be formed by the same knitting yarn as the other knitted fabrics, there is no discomfort as compared with the one in which the rubber yarn is inserted through the arch part, and the cost is reduced because the rubber yarn is not used. There is also the advantage that you can.

In addition, a sufficient number of loops can be secured at the base of the five fingers, and the required number of loops for knitting each finger bag of the socks with fingers can be secured. It is easy to insert the fingers, and in this respect also, there is an advantage that it is possible to produce socks and the like that are comfortable to wear and have high commercial value.

In the case of forming each finger bag of the sock with fingers according to the present invention, each finger bag is knitted at an independent place of the needle bed, and the finger bag to be moved is transferred to the needle bed for racking, and then the needle bag is moved. Since the bed can be racked so that the ends of the finger bags can be moved so that the ends thereof are close to each other or a part thereof overlaps with each other, the loop in which the preceding finger bags are overlapped is the knitting of the following finger bags as in the conventional case. There is also a problem that the pressed loop is constantly rubbed against the knitting needles that come and go in the knitting of the subsequent finger bag, and the durability of the knitting yarn in that part is significantly reduced. There is also an advantage that it can be prevented.
