A plurality of other yarn paths 3 are used for, for example, a yarn supply for moire, a yarn supply for a heel tip, a yarn supply for a rubber back, a yarn supply for a rubber surface, a yarn supply for a spiral, and the like.

Next, the knitting means will be described. The knitted fabric knitted by the knitting method of the present invention has a pattern on the surface of the ground knitted by plating, and the knitted fabric is arranged near an end of the needle 5 on the traveling direction side. The yarn is knitted by different kinds of yarns 6a and 6b supplied by the yarn path 3a. At the time of actual knitting, the pattern yarn 6c is supplied first to the needle 5 for knitting the structure of the portion on which the pattern is to be placed.

The yarn 6a is for covering the surface of the knitted fabric, and the yarn 6b is for covering the back surface of the knitted fabric. 2a
Thus, the yarn 6b is supplied from the yarn introduction hole 2b slightly away from the yarn introduction hole 2a to the outer peripheral side in the cylinder radial direction.

That is, when the needle 5 moves by the rotation of the cylinder and is opposed to the yarn path 3b, the yarn path 3b swings from the rest position, and the yarn path 3B in FIG.
Then, the yarn introducing hole 2c is lowered to the knitting position indicated by the solid line, and the needle 5 is supplied with the yarn 6c. The pattern thread 6c is fed to the hook side of the needle 5a at the clear level as shown in FIG. 1B.
With the needle 5b at the tack level, the pattern thread 6c turns to the back of the needle. Then, as the needle 5 advances by the rotation of the cylinder, the front yarn 6a and the back yarn 6b from the yarn introduction holes 2a, 2b are supplied to the needle 5 in that order. At this time, the pattern yarn 6c supplied from the yarn introduction hole 2c located on the upstream side in the cylinder rotation direction is
The yarn supplied to the hook of the needle 5 extends the longest from the other yarns, and the angle at which the yarn is supplied is closest to the horizontal as compared with the other two yarns 6a and 6b, and then the yarns 6a and 6b have larger angles in this order. Angle.

By supplying yarn at a position where the above-described yarn supply angle is obtained, the yarn 6b locked at the highest position of the hook of the needle is moved when the loop of the knitted fabric is formed by the lowering of the needle.
The yarn 6b appears only on the back of the knitted fabric,
When the loop of the knitted fabric is formed by the descent of the thread 6c, the thread 6c appears only on the surface of the knitted fabric and exhibits the color of the thread 6c. The yarn 6a is located between the yarns 6b and 6c and does not appear on the front and back surfaces.

In the above-mentioned knitting, if the yarn 6c is not supplied, the knitted fabric has the yarn 6a on the front surface and the yarn 6b on the back surface. At the time of knitting of a specific loop forming a pattern, a thread 6
If the yarn c is supplied, a pattern is formed by the yarn 6c on the knitted fabric in which the color of the yarn 6a appears on the surface. Thread 6
It is not necessary to feed yarn from the start point to the end point of the course, and if the predetermined pattern is knitted, it is necessary to cut and then feed new yarn only to the part of the next required pattern.

The yarns 6a, 6b, 6c fed by the yarn feeding to the needle 5 by the above-described yarn feeding method are arranged vertically in parallel with the needle stem of the needle 5, but according to the yarn feeding means. As shown in FIG. 2A, they may be arranged in a direction crossing the needle stem. In this case, the yarns arranged by the lowering of the needles sequentially come into contact with the needles from the side closer to the needles, are pulled down together with the needles, and the adjacent yarns come to the upper position, resulting in the tandem yarns as shown in FIG. 2B.

[0014]

As described in detail above, the knitting fabric knitting method according to the present invention relates to a circular knitting machine provided with at least one yarn feeder having a plurality of yarn paths juxtaposed in the cylinder rotation direction. A notch of an appropriate depth is provided at the lower end of the inner wall surface located downstream of the yarn path receiving box of the apparatus in the cylinder rotation direction, and at least one yarn path of the plurality of yarn paths located downstream of the cylinder rotation direction. Is provided with two yarn introduction holes juxtaposed at appropriate intervals in the radial direction of the cylinder.
The yarn feeding hole passing through the cutout portion from the yarn guiding hole located on the radially outer side of the cylinder among the two yarn guiding holes, the yarn guiding hole located on the inner peripheral side in the cylinder radial direction on the back side of the knitted fabric. Knitting the ground structure with a spun yarn knitting that covers the surface side of the knitted fabric with the yarn supplied from the other yarn, and other yarns arranged at appropriate intervals upstream of the yarn path in the cylinder rotation direction. From the road, the knitted fabric knitting method that expresses the pattern on the surface side of the ground tissue by adopting the pattern yarn only to the needles necessary to express the predetermined pattern was adopted, so The two yarns supplied from the two yarn introduction holes of one located yarn path can be reliably separated, the knitting of the ground structure by plating can be performed well, and the two yarns of the single yarn supply device. The pattern of the plating knitting can be further developed on the surface of the plating knitted fabric only by the road. It can be expressed and the color tone of the pattern yarn, a good pattern by a change in the thickness of the knitted fabric due to the accompanied by a pattern yarn on the ground organization. Further, when another yarn feeder is used in combination, the number of yarn feeders to be thrown to the pattern yarn increases, and various patterns can be expressed.
