Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Subject of the invention] The present invention operates the swinging rod of the row counter attached to the main body of the hand knitting machine using an actuating rod that is freely inserted and placed in the carriage, thereby measuring the number of rows of knitting. The present invention relates to a row counter actuation device for a hand knitting machine configured to display the number of rows.

[Application field]

During knitting work, it is necessary for the operator to operate the carriage while keeping in mind the desired knitting pattern, such as continuing the number of knitting rows, intermittent switching, etc., depending on the desired knitting pattern. Suitable for confirmation.

[Prior art]

In conventional devices of this type, an actuating plate for operating a swinging rod attached to the knitting machine body is placed at a fixed position on a carriage, and as the carriage moves from side to side, the actuating plate moves. was in contact with the swinging rod, activating it. (See Utility Model Publication No. 46-34383 for an example).

[Problems with conventional technology and their technical analysis]

The row count meter (oscillating rod) in a hand knitting machine is generally installed in the longitudinal center of the back of the knitting machine, facing the operator, away from where other equipment is installed. be.

The conventional actuating plate that operates this is placed at a fixed position (generally at the left end) of the carriage so that its left and right movement is fixed. Therefore, depending on the type and location of the knitted material, when knitting with only a portion of the needles on the left or right side of the knitting machine, for example, in the case of the left side, the swinging rod in the center of the groove plate must be used far more to operate the carriage. Beyond,
It was necessary to slide it in the direction of the knitting halt needle. This requires extra labor to operate, and the yarn tends to sag during the return process, which gets wrapped around the brush wheel of the carriage, resulting in an inconvenience that impedes smooth knitting work.

The present invention aims to eliminate the deficiencies found in the above conventional type.

[Technical issues]

That is, when knitting with only limited needles in one direction of the knitting machine groove plate, the swinging rod of the row counter can be operated without having to slide the carriage excessively to the vicinity of the resting needles in the other direction as in the conventional type. This is how it was done.

[Technical means]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following features: (1) Two insertion holes are provided symmetrically on the left and right sides of the carriage cover, and an L-shaped operating rod that operates the swinging rod is selectively inserted into and removed from the insertion holes. made possible.

(2) When the actuating rod is inserted into the selection hole, its rotation is restricted and a means is provided to prevent it from coming off (separating) in a normal state.

[Effect of technical means]

For example, when knitting the neck or shoulder part of a sweater or sweatshirt on one side, if only the left needle is knitting, the right needle is resting on the upper rest path.

In this case, insert the actuating rod into the right insertion hole of the carriage cover. When the carriage is operated from the left side of the groove plate to the right side, the operating rod whose rotation is regulated reaches approximately the center of the groove plate, and its tip comes into contact with the swinging rod to operate it. let Therefore, there is no need to slide the carriage further to the right, just turn it back to the left.

On the other hand, if you want to knit with only the right needles and let the left needle rest, remove the operating rod from the right insertion hole against the pressure of the stopper spring that prevents it from coming off, and insert it into the left insertion hole. good.

Now, it is sufficient to reverse the direction as described above and slide the carriage from the right side of the groove plate to the left to the center, then turn around and move it to the right.

[Special effects of this invention]

In the device of the present invention, the mounting position of the actuating rod (the conventional actuating plate) is not the fixed position on the left as in the conventional case, but can be selected from the left or right end position of the carriage.

Therefore, by changing the attachment according to the shape of the knitted fabric, the horizontal travel of the carriage can be reduced by almost half, making the operation easier. In addition, it prevents the operating rod from wobbling during use, allowing for smoother operation, and if the operating rod can be removed from the carriage when the knitting machine is not in use, it will not get in the way like a fixed type when storing. It's very convenient.

[Embodiment of the idea]

(1) Rotation of the actuating rod was restricted by providing a groove in the insertion hole of the carriage cover and engaging the groove with a pressing protrusion provided on the actuating rod. A pin member may be implanted in.

(2) To prevent the actuating rod from coming off, a V-shaped groove was provided on the actuating rod, and a stop spring with a protrusion formed thereon was used. The same effect as described above can be expected even if a groove that engages with the mold ring is provided on the insertion hole side of the carriage cover.

〔Example〕

In the figure, 1 is a knitting machine main body, 2 is a groove plate, 3 is a row counter, and the row counter is arranged approximately at the longitudinal center of the rear part of the knitting machine main body, and 4 is a swinging rod thereof.
Reference numeral 5 denotes a carriage cover, and insertion holes 6 and 6' are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the rear portion of the carriage cover 5. 7 is an actuating rod, which has a pressing protrusion 7a and a V at the tip.
A shaped groove 7b is formed.

Recessed grooves 6a and 6a' are respectively formed in the insertion holes 6 and 6' provided in the boss portions 5a and 5a' (only one shown) of the carriage cover 5, into which the actuation rod 7 is selectively inserted. , the pressing protrusion 7a is engaged with the groove 6a or 6a'.

Further, a stop spring 8 having a protrusion 8a facing the V-groove 7b of the actuating rod 7 is attached to the lower notch of the boss portions 5a, 5a' of the carriage cover.
Therefore, the rotation of the actuating rod 7 with respect to the carriage cover 5 is restricted, and a force to prevent the actuating rod 7 from coming off is exerted by the stop spring pressure 8.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. In the figure, the knitting modes indicated by symbols C and D are cases in which only the partial knitting needle group 9 on the left side is in the knitting state, and the knitting needle group 10 on the right side is placed in the rest path (non-knitting). show.

Under this condition, as shown in C, the operating rod 7 is selectively inserted into the right insertion hole 6' of the carriage cover 5, as described in the operation section of the technical means of the device of the present invention. Therefore, move the carriage 5 to the right and move the operating rod 7.
When reaches approximately the center in the longitudinal direction of the knitting machine body 1,
Since the actuating rod 7 actuates the swinging rod 4, at that point the carriage can be turned around and operated to the left. As shown in D, when the actuating rod 7 is located in the left insertion hole 6 (the arrangement position in the conventional type),
At least the carriage width must be moved to the right more than in the case shown in C. It is difficult to perform this reversal operation accurately at the theoretical position due to the operating inertia, but as mentioned above, the operating rod selection arrangement of the present device reduces the loss stroke compared to the conventional device. This is effective in preventing the occurrence of problems associated with this.
