DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tubular knitted fabric for a toe portion of a sock or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Cylindrical knitted fabrics such as socks and tights having a toe portion formed in a bag shape from the arch of a foot are generally manufactured by a circular knitting machine having a cylinder or a flat knitting machine having a pair of front and rear needle beds. Be organized. By the way, when forming a tubular knitted fabric having these toe portions with a circular knitting machine, it is particularly difficult to bind off the toe portions, and in tights or the like, knit one side at a time and connect them by sewing. However, there is a problem that it takes time and effort, productivity is low, and manufacturing cost is high.

[0003] Therefore, these disadvantages can be solved by knitting with a so-called "flat knitting machine" provided with a plate-shaped needle bed at the front and back. For example, when knitting a sock, which is an example of a tubular knitted fabric, with a flat knitting machine, the knitting yarn is fed in a circular shape over the front and rear needle beds to form a tubular knitted fabric. When the toe is formed with approximately the same number of loops from the mouth to the vicinity of the toe, the toe is treated with a protruding eye etc. so as to be symmetrical about the middle finger part, and the constriction such as an ankle or arch is formed. , A rubber thread was inserted, and the knitting structure was changed from sheet knitting to rib knitting.

[0004]

However, rubber knitting is performed by inserting a rubber thread into a tube knitted with approximately the same number of loops from the wearing mouth to the vicinity of the toe, or a knitting structure is formed from a sheet knitting to a rib knitting to form a constriction. In this case, there is a limit to the contraction, so that there is a problem that the foot does not fit well on the ups and downs.

If the number of loops is determined on the basis of the shape of the constricted portion so as to fit the constricted portion, the knitted fabric is difficult to stretch in the so-called "five-body" on the toe side, resulting in poor comfort. However, there is a problem that the wale is opened, the appearance is impaired, and the commercial value is reduced.

Therefore, the number of loops is increased by increasing the number of loops by increasing the number of loops by dividing the loop at the portion where the needle bed changes from the front to the rear needle bed or from the rear to the previous needle bed.
It is also considered that the number of loops is increased / decreased by reducing the number of overlapping partial loops, thereby changing the inner diameter of the sock.

However, in such a device, in a portion where the yarn feeding direction of the knitting yarn is different, a loop of a "crossover yarn" portion that changes from a front to a rear needle bed or from a rear to a front needle bed is moved back and forth. In addition, there has been a problem that the loop of the portion is elongated to generate a so-called "eyelet", which lowers the commercial value.

Further, since the toe side end is formed symmetrically with respect to the middle finger portion, the knitted fabric is loose on the short little finger side, and the tip of the thumb or forefinger is pressed to impair the comfort. There was also the problem of getting lost. Then, this invention is proposed in order to solve the said problem, and it aims at providing the sock which fits the shape of a foot moderately, and also looks beautiful.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, a tubular knitted fabric of a toe portion of a sock or the like according to the present invention comprises:
A tubular knitted fabric of a toe portion of a sock or the like which is knitted into a tubular shape by feeding the yarn in a circular manner over the front and rear needle beds with a flat knitting machine having a front and a back of the toe portion. When the loop of the arch part of the tubular knitted fabric is used as a reference, the loop is temporarily increased at the toe side, and the loop is gradually reduced from the little finger side to the thumb or forefinger from the increased part of the loop to the toe. It is characterized by having a slanted portion.

[0010] Further, the increased portion of the loop is located at a position other than the crossover portion of the front and rear needle beds, a plurality of finger bags or partition walls are formed on the toe portion to partition between adjacent fingers, or a partition portion between fingers. It is also characterized in that a separating member that separates fingers adjacent to each other is interposed.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of a tubular knitted fabric of a toe portion of a sock according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings using a sock as an example. This embodiment is a sock type sock in which a toe portion is symmetrical for a right foot and a left foot as shown in FIG. 1 using a flat knitting machine, and reference numeral 1 in the figure denotes this sock type sock. Shown overall.

The flatbed knitting machine used in the present embodiment has a needle bed on which a knitting needle is slidably mounted, which is disposed in front and rear in a "C" shape in a side view in a state where the teeth are close to each other. A known structure is used in which each knitting needle is moved forward and backward by a carriage that slides and runs on the upper surface of each needle bed, and the front and rear needle beds are relatively movable (racking).

As shown in FIG. 2, the sock 1 is set up by using a total of 80 knitting needles of 40 needles in each of the front and rear needle beds of the flat knitting machine, and the foot insertion opening 2 is set up.
The knitting of the foot insertion opening 2 is performed by a rib knit into which a rubber thread is inserted and which has high elasticity. Next, knit from the foot insertion port 2 to the ankle 4 through the calf 3
In the vicinity of the ankle part 4, the knitting needles of the needle bed before and after the flat knitting machine are knitted in a predetermined knitting course in a knitting course inward from the end part which is knitted in a cylindrical shape and inward from the seventh loop part. Each time, the stitches are moved inward so that the total number of stitches can be reduced by two on one side, that is, a total of four stitches, and gradually squeezed until the diameter of the tubular knitted fabric becomes 68, thereby forming a small-diameter ankle portion 4.

When the knitting needles become 68 ankle portions 4,
Next, in order to form the ankle part 5, the loop of the part reduced from the above is split and the knitting needle used is increased until the number of knitting needles becomes 76. After the ankle portion 5 is knitted, the knitting needle of the front needle bed knitting on the front side of the foot is stopped at the heel portion 6, and the knitting needle of the rear needle bed on the heel portion 6 side (back side) is put on. When the knitting yarn is supplied, the knitting width is once reduced to a predetermined width in a state where both end portions are tacked, and then the knitting width is returned again, the bulging portion of the heel portion 6 is knitted here. .

After the heel portion 5 is knitted, the arch portion 7
In the same manner as in the ankle portion 4, the outer knitted fabric can be reduced by two stitches on one side for each knitting of a predetermined knitting course, so that a total of four stitches can be reduced from a portion that enters a predetermined number inward from the end of the knitted fabric. To the inside and gradually squeezed until the diameter of the tubular knitted fabric becomes 68 pieces, and then gradually increased until the diameter of the tubular knitted fabric became 80 pieces by splitting again. 7 are formed.

Thereafter, the "one-side increase" in which the inner portion of only one side of the knitted fabric is increased every two courses is performed when the number of knitting needles is nine.
When the operation is performed until the five-body portion 8 becomes zero, the "small diameter portion" of the portion 7 is formed here.

Thus, when it comes to the toe side portion 9 of the sock 1,
The one-side reduction is performed from the little finger side, and the reduction is performed from the thumb side at the terminal end portion until the number of loops of the front and rear knitting needles becomes 24. When the number of loops of the front and rear knitting needles becomes 24, the front and rear loops are transferred to any one of the knitting needles, and the loops are double-hooked, and a new loop is formed here, and the new loop is formed from one side to the other side. The knitting of the sock 1 as shown in FIG.

The sock 1 thus knitted is formed with an inclined portion whose loop is gradually reduced from the little finger side toward the thumb or the forefinger, and the shape from the arch to the toe portion has the shape of the foot. Because it is formed so as to conform to the silhouette, it fits comfortably on the foot and is comfortable to wear.

In FIG. 3, a partition 10 is formed between the thumb and the index finger during knitting of the sock 1 formed as described above. This partition 1
The formation of 0 is performed as shown in FIGS. That is, when the knitting yarn 12 is supplied from the yarn feeder 11 in a circular manner over the knitting needles of the front and rear needle beds, as shown in FIG. 14 is advanced to lock the knitting yarn on both knitting needles, and as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the old loops 15 and 16 of the respective knitting needles 13 and 14 are cleared to form new loops 17 and 18. While forming a tubular knitted fabric.

Then, the partition wall 10 is formed by the knitting yarn 12 extending over the knitting needles 13 and 14. In the sock 1 having the partition wall 10 formed in this manner, the partition wall 10 can prevent the adjacent fingers from contacting each other and prevent stuffiness. FIG. 7 shows an example in which two partition walls 10 are formed to form a separation member insertion bag 19 for inserting a separation member (not shown) for separating adjacent fingers therebetween. In the sock 1, since the fingers are held open by the separating member, the sock 1 has an effect of preventing stuffiness and also has an effect of preventing hallux valgus.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned socks, but can be practiced as long as the knitted fabric has a toe portion such as tights. Further, it goes without saying that the position where the loop is increased or decreased does not exclude what is performed at a portion where the knitting yarn passes over the knitting needles of the front and rear needle beds in the flat knitting machine.

[0022]

As described above, according to the present invention, with reference to the loop of the arch part of the tubular knitted fabric of the toe portion of a sock or the like, the loop is increased in the five torso portion,
Furthermore, from the increased portion of the loop to the toe, it is formed with an inclined portion in which the loop is gradually reduced from the little finger side toward the thumb or forefinger, so that the shape from the arch to the toe portion is a silhouette of the foot of the portion. Since it is formed along the side, it has an advantage that it fits comfortably on the foot, is comfortable to wear, does not open the wale unlike the conventional case, has a beautiful appearance, and can significantly improve the commercial value.

Further, the loop of the tubular knitted fabric at the toe portion of a sock or the like is increased or decreased by a loop other than the portion where the knitting yarn is transferred from the front to the rear needle bed or from the rear to the front needle bed. For example, the "eyelet" as in the case where the increasing or decreasing portion of the loop is performed by a "crossover" portion that changes from the front to the rear needle bed or from the rear to the previous needle bed.
There is also an advantage that the commercial value of the sock can be further improved without producing the sock.

Also, when a plurality of finger pockets or partitions are formed on the toe to separate adjacent fingers, the partition can prevent contact between adjacent fingers and prevent stuffiness. There is also an advantage that a comfortable tubular knitted fabric excellent in feeling can be obtained.

In addition, in the case where a separating member for separating adjacent fingers is interposed in a section between the fingers, the fingers are held in an open state by the separating member. When provided between the forefinger, there is an effect of preventing the above-mentioned stuffiness and also an effect of preventing hallux valgus.

Moreover, in the tubular knitted fabric of the toe portion of the sock or the like according to the present invention, the loop is increased in the five torso portions, so that a finger bag is formed on the toe side from the increased portion of the loop. Even when the partition walls are formed, there is also an advantage that a comfortable tubular knitted fabric can be obtained in this respect without deficiency of the number of loops of the knitted fabric as in the related art.
