Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing a knitted fabric at least partially framed with a rubber knitting edge on a flat knitting machine having two opposing needle beds and a transfer device.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Especially in jackets and vests, the edges of the knitted fabric are often provided with such rubber knitting edges. This rubber knitting edge not only has a visual function, but also gives good knitted shape stability. The rubber knitting edge can be provided on the knitted material so as to circulate, or only partially on the jacket or vest.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object underlying the present invention is a method for producing a knitted fabric which makes it possible to reduce and increase the number of stitches and to increase the productivity of a ground knitted fabric knitted by a rubber knitting edge. To provide.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In a method of the type mentioned at the outset, in order to solve this problem, according to the invention, at least every other needle of each needle bed is knitted, at least in the region of the rubber knitting edge. And empties the needles on one needle bed and facing the needles with stitches on the other needle bed.

[0005] The method according to the invention is particularly effective if the ground knit is knitted with a joining technique that allows the use of this set-up. This is because, in that case, the transfer process is not necessary to obtain the set-up portion necessary for forming the rubber knitting edge. In the case of a knitted fabric in which the ground knitted fabric has a joining technique in which all the needles participate in the knitting process, the steps according to claim 2 can be carried out in order to form the necessary set-up in the rubber knitting edge. Claims 3 and 4 relate to reducing or increasing the number of stitches of a ground knitted fabric having a joining technique in which only every other needle performs knitting. On the other hand, claims 5 to 7 relate to reducing or increasing the number of stitches of a ground knitted fabric having a joining technique in which all the needles knit.

In order to explain these different stitch reduction or increase techniques and the transfer technique for forming the set-up required for the rubber knitting edge, an example of a knitted fabric will be described below with reference to the drawings. Here, AZ and az represent needles or stitches.

Are moved to the needles C to G of the front needle bed V. As a result, the width of the ground unevenness 21 is reduced by one stitch. In row 13, after the back needle bed H is swung back to the initial position, the back stitches D, F, H of the rubber knitting edge 22 are transferred to the rear needle bed H, and then in row 14, the rubber knitting edge 22 and A course is formed over the object 21. The steps of rows 10 to 14 can then be repeated until the ground knit is reduced in width by the desired number of stitches.

FIGS. 17 to 19 show the ground knit 21 shown in FIG.
The rows 1 to 8 correspond to the stages of the rows 1 to 8 in FIGS. 11 to 13 and again relate to the formation of the set-up portion of the rubber knitting edge 22. Then, in row 9, a ground knit 21 and a rubber knitting edge 22 composed of six stitches
A course is formed over a period of time. In the row 10, in the knitting direction from left to right, the front side stitch D of the ground knit 21 is moved to the empty needle d of the rear needle bed H, and the front stitches F,
H, J are transferred to the needles f, h, j of the rear needle bed H. After the needle bed swing, in row 11, the edge stitch d of the ground knit 21 is moved to the needle E of the front needle bed V, and all the stitches e to j of the rubber knitting edge 22 are moved to the needle F of the front needle bed V. To K. As a result, the width of the ground unevenness 21 is increased by one stitch. Subsequently, after the swing back of the rear needle bed H, the row 12
Are shifted back to the rear needle bed H. Then, in row 13, a course is formed across the ground knit 21 and the rubber knitting edge 22, with the needles D on the front needle bed V
And the needles d in the rear needle bed H form a tack loop, which has a special effect at the boundary between the eccentrics 21 and the rubber knitting edges 22. The steps of rows 10 to 13 can be repeated until the ground knit 21 has undergone the desired width increase.

FIGS. 20 to 22 correspond to FIGS.
The method of increasing the width of the ground knit 21 on the left side of the knit is shown. Here again, rows 1 to 8 again relate to the formation of the set-up portion of the rubber knitting edge 22. Subsequently, in the row 9, a course is formed across the rubber knitting edge 22 and the ground knit 21.
Subsequently, in the row 10, the rubber knitting edge 22 is
Are moved to the rear needle bed H. Then, in row 11, after the needle bed swing, the edge offset g of the ground unevenness 21 is moved to the needle F of the front needle bed V, and all the stitches b to f of the rubber knitting edge 22 are moved to the needles A to E. It is. Subsequently, the rear needle bed H is swung back to the initial position, and the back stitches B, D, F of the rubber knitting edge 22 are moved back to the rear needle bed H in the row 12. In the row 13, a course is formed over the rubber knitting edge 22 and the ground knitting 21 with a needle in order to obtain a specific visual effect in the boundary area between the rubber knitting edge 22 and the ground offset 21. At g and G, a tack loop is formed.
