Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a plating aid for a hand knitting machine.

In plating knitting, when the carriage folds back and slides on both ends of the knitted fabric, the needle on the farthest side of the knitting operation (hereinafter referred to as the end needle) feeds the yarn to its hook, and then moves the knitted fabric. It comes off the protrusion at the front end of the presser foot and moves backward while descending. At this time, the second needle from the end (that is, the needle next to the end needle, hereinafter referred to as the next needle) is
As the end needle descends, the vertical difference between the base yarn and the plating yarn supplied to the hook becomes closer, and in extreme cases, the vertical positions may be reversed. This leads to inability to switch the plating at the end of the knitted fabric.

In the present invention, a supporting member is arranged between the upper surface of the groove plate and the lower surface of the end needle to prevent the end needle from descending when the end needle comes off the convex part of the knitting fabric presser foot and retreats. This prevents the inconvenience of being unable to switch the plating knitting that has conventionally occurred at the ends of knitted fabrics.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Examples of the present invention, including conventional aspects, will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view of a fabric presser equipped with a thread opening for plating knitting, where 1 is a groove plate, 2 is a knitting needle, 3 is a carriage, and 4 is a fabric presser attached to the carriage. Reference numeral 5 denotes a yarn head rotating body, which has a front yarn feeder 5a and a rear yarn feeder 5b, and is used to switch the two knitting yarns between front and back by rotating the rotor 5 through 180 degrees.
In the figure, the plating yarn 6 is introduced into the front yarn feeder 5a, and the base yarn 7 is introduced into the rear yarn feeder 5b.

In the conventional plating mode, the second and third
As shown in the figure, the end needle A fed at the end of the knitted fabric comes off the protrusion 4a formed in front of the knitted fabric presser 4 and descends and retreats. Due to this downward retreat, the vertical difference (indicated by the symbol t) between the ground thread 7 and the plating thread 6 supplied to the hook of the next needle B becomes very close, and in extreme cases as the carriage slides, upside down,
There was a defect in which the knitting yarn was knitted with the front and back sides reversed. (See Figures 3-1 and 3-2) In the present invention, when plating, as shown in Figure 4, an appropriate set wall thickness H is set between the groove bottom and the lower end surface.
A support member 8 having an arbitrary number of concave grooves 8a that leaves a knitting needle and slidably supports the knitting needle is adopted. That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the supporting member 8 is attached to the groove plate 1.
It is placed between the front upper part of the needle A and the lower surface of the end needle A.

Then, the stem of the end needle A is inserted and placed into the groove at the end of an arbitrary number of concave grooves 8a provided in the support member 8 (left in FIG. 5).

By arranging the support member 8 as described above, the hook portion of the end needle A can be attached to the convex portion 4a of the knitted fabric presser foot 4.
Even if it comes off further, it is supported by the thick portion H of the support member 8 and is prevented from descending.

That is, as shown by the symbol T in Fig. 3-3, the plating thread 6 and ground thread 7 in the hook of the next needle B
An appropriate interval is maintained between them so that their vertical positions do not reverse.

Therefore, by employing a simple auxiliary tool, switching between plating at the end of a knitted fabric can be performed smoothly and without anxiety, and the occurrence of conventional problems can be prevented.
