The knitted fabric 12 has first and third needle stick positions B1 and B3 at the edges to be sewn by the third knitting fabric guide means.
It is guided to the third needle stick position B3 while being overlapped with the outside of the guide 94 in the interval. The guide 94 ends immediately before the third needle stick position B3. Therefore, the knitted fabric 12
Is gradually overlapped with one edge of the knitted fabric 14 at the third needle stab position B3, and the needle 24 of the drum 28 is further protruded and stabbed in the stitch. This allows the drum 2
The needle 24 of No. 8 is pierced through the stitches of the knitted fabric 12 and the stitches of one edge of the knitted fabric 14.

Due to the further protrusion of the needle 24 at the third needle stick position B3, the tips of the needles 24 and 26 of the drums 28 and 30 are abutted against each other. Although not shown accurately in FIG. 1, the needle 24 has a third needle sticking position B3 as is apparent from the shape of the fixed guide 48 shown in FIG.
Immediately before the start of the movement of the drum 28 in the radial direction of the drum 28. Then, at the third needle piercing position, the tip of the needle 24 projects beyond the outer surface of the guide 94, and is pierced through the knitted fabric 14. Further, it is in a completely projected state immediately after passing through the third needle stick position B3. The guide 94 has a slit whose one end is open in the circumferential direction of the drum 28 so as to allow the needle 24 to project and move in the projected state. At the start of the operation of the linking device 10, the first needle stick performed at the first, second and third needle stick positions B1, B2 and B3 is
It may be performed manually or automatically.

The knitted fabric 14 gradually becomes U-shaped while the stitches pierced by the needles 26 move from the third needle piercing position B3 to the stitch transferring position C on the downstream side of the third needle piercing position B3. The edge portion that is bent and pierced with the needle 26 is displaced by the guide 96 toward the tip of the needle 24. As a result, the stitch pierced by the needle 26 is transferred to the needle 24 by the guide 98 at the transfer position C as the drums 28 and 30 rotate. The guide 96 is the drum 3
No. 0 needle 26 extends in the juxtaposed direction, that is, the arrangement direction, and has an inclined guide surface that gradually extends from the rear end of the needle 26 toward the tip along the moving direction of the needle.

In the suturing position D, the stitching device 4 is over stitched using the sewing machine needle 100, the louver 102, and the sewing thread 104 by the suturing device 22.

Thereafter, the needle 24 passes through the suture position D as the drum 28 rotates, and then is gradually retracted.
The needle 26 is also retracted gradually from the appropriate position after passing the transfer position C as the drum 30 rotates. The sewn knitted fabrics 12 and 14 are attracted to the feed roller 72 side by the rotation of the drum 28 and the cooperative action of the feed roller 72 and the pressing roller 74, and the stitches are completely removed from the needle 24 at a position in the middle thereof. Removed.

When the knitted fabric 12 enters the detection area of the detecting means for the knitted fabric 14 in the vicinity of the first needle stab position B1 during the suturing as described above, the knitted fabric 14 in the vicinity of the first needle stab position B1. It is impossible for the sensor 80 to accurately detect the above condition. In such a case, the stitch to be needle-stitched of the knitted fabric 14 cannot be accurately guided to the first needle-stab position B1, and needle stitches are made on other stitches, resulting in incorrect stitching.

Therefore, the knitted fabric guide means prevents the knitted fabric 12 from entering the detection area of the sensor 80 of the first knitted fabric guide means in the vicinity of the first needle stick position B1.
The position control means 110 which controls the position of 2 is provided. The position regulating means 110, as shown in FIGS.

As a result, when the knitted fabric 12 has an endless shape, the position regulating member 114 can be retracted to the second position just before the end of the sewing of the knitted fabrics 12 and 14, and the sewing completed portion of the knitted fabrics 12 and 14 can be passed. it can.

Although not shown in detail, the control device counts the number of needle sticks from the start of linking, and when the count value reaches the corresponding number of needle sticks just before the end of sewing,
The drive mechanism 116 is activated to move the position regulating member 114 to the second position.
And the linking device 10 is stopped. Thereafter, with respect to the knitted fabric 14, the needle moving mechanisms 16 and 18 are manually rotated little by little while manually rotating the needle moving mechanisms 16 and 18 with respect to the remaining knitted fabric portion which has not been needle-pierced at the first needle inserting position B1. At this time, the knitted fabric portion to be pierced at the second needle piercing position B2 is also stabbed by hand, or the second knitted fabric guide means when the needle moving mechanisms 16 and 18 rotate little by little. Will function and guide the knitted fabric, and automatically perform needle stick. After that, the linking device 10 is activated until these portions pass the sewing position D.

If the knitted fabric 14 is not in the endless shape but in a simple strip shape, it is not necessary to pass the sewing completed portion. Therefore, the position regulating member 114 may be provided so as to be constantly fixed at the first position. . Further, the position regulating member 114
Is not limited to that of the embodiment as long as it has a shape that prevents the knitted fabric 12 from entering the detection region. For example, as indicated by reference numerals 132 and 134 in FIG. 9, it may be configured by a pair of rod-shaped members that extend vertically and are spaced apart in the movement direction of the knitted fabric. The pair of rod-shaped members are attached to the horizontal plate-shaped portion of the guide 92. When the endless knitted fabric 14 is sewn, in order to pass the sewing completed portion,
It is provided so that retribution can be performed in the vertical direction.

In the above embodiment, each knitted fabric guide means rotates to move the knitted fabric to a predetermined needle stick position, and
It is provided with one or more rollers that move in the direction of the axis of rotation to move the knitted fabric in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction, but instead of the rollers, move the knitted fabric in the moving direction and in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction. Other mechanisms, such as one or more hands that apply force to the knitted fabric, may be used.

In addition, each knitted fabric guide means takes a picture of the knitted fabric state at each needle stick position and its vicinity with a television camera, and based on the output, the position information of the stitches is calculated by a common image processing device, and calculated. The stitch may be guided to a predetermined needle stick position by one or more rollers or hands based on the position information.

Further, each knitted fabric guiding means detects the end of the corresponding knitted fabric by one or more knitted fabric end sensors, and guides the corresponding knitted fabric by one or more rollers or hands based on the detection result. The position of the stitch is corrected by the television camera, the position information of the stitch is calculated by a common image processing device based on the output, and the stitch is corrected based on the calculated position information. It may be one which guides to a predetermined needle stick position by one or more rollers or hands.
