Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing tubular articles provided with a grip region on their reverse side, particularly for providing hold-up stockings, by way of circular hosiery knitting machines, and to a tubular article obtained with the method.
  • hold-up stockings are provided, proximate to their upper end, with a band that is intended to grip the upper region of the thigh of the user in order to perform a stocking hold-up effect, thus avoiding the use of suspenders.
  • the grip of the stocking on the skin of the user is obtained simply by providing, at the upper end of the article, an elastic band which is knitted as a double welt and tightens around the thigh of the user.
  • This solution has the drawback of achieving insufficient grip, since, owing to the conical shape of the thigh, with use the elastic band tends to slip downward and roll up along the article.
  • an elastic band generally made of lace, is applied to the upper end of the article and a strip or multiple strips of silicone are spread on the inner side thereof, which have the effect of increasing the adhesion of such band to the skin of the user, thus contrasting the descent of the band along the thigh of the user.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the problems described above, by devising a method that makes it possible to manufacture tubular articles, in particular hold-up stockings, by way of circular hosiery knitting machines, by providing a grip region on the reverse side of the articles directly during the production of the article with the circular hosiery knitting machine.
  • an object of the invention is to propose a method that makes it possible to manufacture tubular articles, particularly hold-up stockings, which are provided with a greater grip effect than that obtainable with methods of known type, while also preventing the roll-up of the article along the thigh of the user.
  • a further object of the invention is to propose a method that makes it possible to manufacture articles, particularly hold-up stockings, with highly competitive production costs.
  • a still further object of the invention is to propose a method that can be carried out with circular hosiery knitting machines, preferably of the single-cylinder type, with electronic selection of known type without the need to perform structural modifications thereof but simply by performing software modifications that are simple to carry out.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a method that makes it possible to manufacture comfortable articles.
  • a method for manufacturing tubular articles provided with a grip region on their reverse side, particularly for providing hold-up stockings, by way of circular knitting machines which comprises the use of a circular hosiery knitting machine that has at least two feeds or drops, of which at least one first feed is capable of dispensing a bare elastomer yarn, devices for selecting needles in order to move some of the needles of the machine to pick up the yarn or yarns dispensed at said feeds, while other needles are excluded from picking up the yarn or yarns dispensed at said feeds, cams for actuating the needles in order to move said needles to pick up the yarn or yarns dispensed by said feeds to a “tuck” position or to a “drop” position or in order to move said needles to a “miss” position for their exclusion from picking up the yarn or yarns dispensed at said feeds, said method being characterized in that,
  • the article obtained with the method according to the invention has a grip region on its reverse side and is characterized in that said grip region is defined by floating portions or bridles of bare elastomer yarn which protrude on the reverse side of the article and are knitted in with the other yarns that compose the article.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of an article obtained with the method according to the invention, as it is unloaded from the circular hosiery knitting machine used for its production;
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged-scale and partially cross-sectional view of a portion of the article obtained with the method according to the invention
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged-scale view of a detail of the article turned inside out, relating to the grip region;
  • FIG. 4 is a view of the same detail as FIG. 3 , tensioned at right angles to the axis of the article.
  • the method according to the invention for providing a tubular article provided with a grip region on its reverse side, in particular a hold-up stocking of the type shown in the figures, comprises the use of a circular hosiery knitting machine that has at least two feeds or drops, of which at least one first feed is equipped to dispense a bare elastomer yarn to the needles of the machine that pass at this feed.
  • the circular machine used to carry out the method according to the invention is provided with electronic needle selection devices of known type, which make it possible to select the needles of the machine that must be actuated to pick up the yarn or yarns dispensed at the feeds or drops of the machine while other needles are excluded from picking up this yarn or these yarns.
  • such machine is provided, in a manner known per se, with needle actuation cams in order to move the needles to pick up the yarn or yarns dispensed by the feeds in a “tuck” position or in a “drop” position or in order to move the needles to a “miss” position in order to exclude them from picking up the yarn or yarns dispensed at the feeds.
  • the circular hosiery knitting machine that can be used to carry out the method according to the invention is obviously provided, in a manner known per se, with other elements and devices, such as for example sinkers, yarn feeders, etc.
  • the picking-up of the yarn or yarns by needles in the “tuck” position is performed by lifting, by way of the corresponding actuation cams, the needles to a height level such that their tip or head is extracted upward by the sinkers, but to a height level that is not sufficient to allow the loop or loops of knitting which were formed previously to slide below the latch of the corresponding needle.
  • these needles upon the subsequent descent, caused by the corresponding actuation cams, these needles will form a new loop of knitting without knocking over the loop or loops formed previously, which remain, together with the new loop, in the head or tip of the corresponding needle.
  • the picking-up of the yarn or yarns by needles in the “drop” position is performed by lifting, by way of the corresponding actuation cams, the needles to a height level such that their tip or head is extracted upward by the sinkers in order to pick up the yarn or yarns at a height level that is sufficient to allow the loop or loops of knitting which were formed previously to slide below the latch of the needle.
  • these needles upon the subsequent descent, caused by the corresponding actuation cams, these needles will form a new loop of knitting, knocking over or dropping the loop or loops of knitting which were formed previously.
  • the needles When the needles are in the “miss” position, their head or tip is located below the knockover plane of the sinkers and holds the loop or loops of knitting which were formed previously. In this position, the needles cannot pick up the yarn or yarns dispensed at the corresponding feed and therefore cannot form knitting.
  • At the first feed at least one needle of at least one group of contiguous needles is moved to knit so that this at least one needle picks up the bare elastomer yarn while the other needles of the group of needles are held or moved to the “miss” position and therefore excluded from picking up the bare elastomer yarn.
  • the needles of the group of needles are actuated at at least one subsequent feed so as to pick up the yarn or yarns dispensed at this subsequent feed and form knitting at least with those needles which, at the first feed, had been held or moved to the “miss” position.
  • the at least one needle which is actuated to pick up the bare elastomer yarn, is actuated so as to pick up such yarn in the “tuck” position.
  • the at least one needle which is actuated to pick up the bare elastomer yarn, is actuated in order to pick up such yarn in the “drop” position.
  • the needle that picked up the bare elastomer yarn at the first feed is actuated in order to pick up the yarn or yarns, dispensed by the at least one subsequent feed, in the “tuck” position.

  • the method according to the invention is preferably carried out by using a circular hosiery knitting machine with four feeds arranged in sequence around the axis of the needle cylinder of the machine along the direction of rotation of the needle cylinder with respect to the feeds or drops.
  • substantially all the needles of the machine are used, dividing them into multiple groups of needles, where the needles of each group are selected and actuated as explained above with reference to the at least one group of needles.
  • Each group of needles is preferably composed of from 7 to 16 contiguous needles and, at the first feed, where the bare elastomer yarn is dispensed, each group of needles is selected according to a first selection comprised between 1:6 and 1:15, i.e., a selection that causes the actuation of one needle to pick up the bare elastomer yarn in the “tuck” position and the retention or passage of a number of contiguous or, rather, subsequent needles (which pass subsequently at the first feed) comprised between 6 and 15 in the “miss” position.
  • each group of needles can comprise from 8 to 17 contiguous needles and the selection of the needles at the first feed can be comprised between 2:6 and 2:15, i.e., a selection that causes the actuation of two contiguous needles to pick up the bare elastomer yarn in the “tuck” position and the retention or passage of a number of contiguous or, rather, subsequent needles (which pass subsequently at the first feed) comprised between 6 and 15 in the “miss” position.
  • each group of needles is selected according to a second selection chosen from among 1:1, with one needle actuated to pick up the yarn or yarns in the “tuck” position and one needle actuated to pick up the yarn or yarns in the “drop” position for every two contiguous needles of the group of needles, or 2:2, with two contiguous needles actuated to pick up the yarn or yarns in the “tuck” position and two contiguous needles actuated to pick up the yarn or yarns in the “drop” position for every four contiguous needles of the group of needles, or 2:1, with two contiguous needles actuated to pick up the yarn or yarns in the “tuck” position and one needle actuated to pick up the yarn or yarns in the “drop” position for every three contiguous needles of the group of needles, or 1:2, with one needle actuated to pick up the yarn or yarns in the “tuck” position and two contiguous needles actuated to

  • the needles that picked up the bare elastomer yarn at the first feed in the “tuck” position are not lowered. This is achieved by deactivating the lowering cam of the needles at the first feed. Owing to the fact that these needles are not lowered, at the second feed they pick up the yarn or yarns dispensed by this feed in a position that is slightly higher than the “tuck” position and therefore drop the previously formed stitches on their stem.
