TH18852A - Making a blank for woven shorts - Google Patents

Abstract

The method of knitting the blanks for shorts side-by-side (BLK,BLK) in the form of tubes (T) on an electronically controlled circular knitting machine. Here, the tubes (T) are formed by selecting needles (50) during the shorts blank (BLK,BLK) to create the (AP,AP) pattern which is used to prepare the leg openings (LO,LO). By removing them from the working needle (50'), the non-working needle (50') is cut (24,44) and held (46), thus the (AP,AP) pattern is formed. The ends of the blanks (BLK,BLK) remain connected until the tubes (T) follow a linear pattern in the fabric with long holes to prepare for separating the blanks (BLK,BLK) for making the shorts. Because the yarn is not knitted across the (AP,AP) pattern, there is a significant effect on yarn savings when forming the leg openings (LO,LO) more easily.

Claims (6)

1. The procedure for knitting many blanks of shorts in rows in a unilateral relationship to form tubes, which consists of knitting such tubes (T) on an electronically controlled circular knitting machine with fully electronically controlled needle-to-needle selection and single-needle length control, and consists of several steps of forming by selecting needle (50) tubes (T) at positions between the shorts blanks (BLK,BLK) specifically to form the channel (AP,AP) which is used to prepare the leg opening (LO,LO) by removing the working needle (50') which otherwise could knit the yarn through the channel (AP,AP) at the immediate cutting (42,44) and stretching (46) of the yarn feeder (Y2) to the non-working needle (50'). Thus, the channel (AP,AP) is formed between the shorts blanks (BLK,BLK) with the end of the section still remaining. They are already connected to each other, and small, long channels are made in a linear pattern in the fabric of the tubes (T) at the positions between these blanks, in order to prepare separate blanks (BLK,BLK) for making shorts in large quantities of the desired pattern for shorts production. 2. The procedure for weaving a number of blanks for shorts according to claim 1. Here, the feed yarn (Y2) is cut (42,44) and held (46) after passing through the selected working needle group (50) and then through point (52) of the said feed yarn (Y2), always ready to bring up the held yarn (Y2) by the next working needle group (50) and followed by passing through the said non-working needle (50'). 3. The method of knitting a large number of blanks for shorts under claim 1 or 2 here, the non-working yarn feeder (y2) to the needle (50') is cut by a fixed cutter (42) operating in conjunction with a rotary toothed cutter (44) that rotates around the needle barrel (55) of the knitting machine. The rotary toothed cutter (44) also serves to hold the said yarn feeder (Y2) for cutting. 4. The method of knitting a large number of blank shorts according to precepts 1, 2 and 3. In this case, the yarn feeder (Y2) to the non-working needle (50') is held (at Y2, by holding the middle of the suction device (46)). 5. The procedure for making bulk blanks for shorts under claim 3 herein, the attached cutter, p42p, is supported by a spring-loaded front-end rotary cutter (44) which is fitted with cutting teeth (440) of the machine for cutting the fine powder yarn. 6. Blank manufactures shorts and shorts made from blank, produced in accordance with the procedures established under this claim as previously practiced.
