Abstract

A method for knitting a tubular knitted fabric wherein a first yarn feed port is moved and an intarsia section is knitted within the knitting width of a first knitted fabric section, and then, while the first yarn feed port is in a stopped condition, a second yarn feed port is moved so as to cross the first yarn feed port and a second knitted fabric section is knitted. In this method for knitting a tubular knitted fabric, a step A is performed in which, after an end stitch of the intarsia section has been knitted, the first yarn feed port is made to move in a first direction and a tuck stitch is formed on a knitting needle on which a stitch of the second knitted fabric section is locked, and a step B is performed in which the first yarn feed port is positioned further to a second direction side than the tuck stitch, to allow the tuck stitch to come free in conjunction with the knitting needle advancing into a needle bed gap. The first direction is the direction from the intarsia section toward the outside, and the second direction is the direction from the intarsia section toward in the inside.

Description

Knitting method for tubular knitted fabric

The present invention relates to a method of knitting a tubular knitted fabric using a flat knitting machine.

A flat knitting machine has multiple needle beds and multiple yarn feeders. Each yarn feeder supplies knitting yarn to a plurality of knitting needles provided on each needle bed. When knitting using a flatbed knitting machine, when a knitted fabric portion is knitted using a certain yarn feeder X, the yarn feeder X may cross another yarn feeder Y that is stopped. At this time, the knitting yarn extending from the yarn feeder Y may be knitted into the knitted fabric portion. Techniques for solving such problems include, for example, a method of knitting a knitted fabric disclosed in Patent Document 1.

Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for solving the above-mentioned problems that occur in intarsia knitting. In FIG. 2 of Patent Document 1, after knitting the first knitted fabric portion using the first yarn feeder (code 11) in step 1, the second yarn feeder (code 13) is used in steps 2 to 4 to knit the first knitted fabric portion. Knitting two fabric sections is shown. At least part of the first knitted fabric portion overlaps the second knitted fabric portion in the knitting width direction on the needle bed. As shown in step 3, both the second yarn feeder and the first yarn feeder are kicked back when the second yarn feeder crosses the first yarn feeder. Kickback means that the yarn feeder moving in one direction temporarily moves in the opposite direction. By kicking back both yarn feeders, the knitting yarn extending from the first yarn feeder to the first knitted fabric portion is prevented from being knitted into the second knitted fabric portion.

JP-A-10-1852

With the technique of Patent Document 1, the second yarn feeder is kicked back when the second knitted fabric portion is knitted. At that time, the second yarn feeder stops temporarily, and the tension of the knitting yarn extending from the second yarn feeder changes. As a result, the size of the stitch may change before and after the kickback of the second yarn feeder. Depending on the material of the knitting yarn, the difference in stitch size in the second knitted fabric portion may be conspicuous.

One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a knitting method that eliminates the need to kick back the second yarn feeder when knitting by moving the second yarn feeder across the stopped first yarn feeder. It is in.

<1> The knitting method of the tubular knitted fabric of the present invention comprises:
Using a flat knitting machine having a first yarn feeder and a second yarn feeder, a first knitted fabric portion held by a first needle bed and a second needle bed facing the first needle bed In the process of knitting a tubular knitted fabric comprising a second knitted fabric portion locked to
After moving the first yarn feeder to knit the intarsia portion within the knitting width of the first knitted fabric portion, the first yarn feeder is stopped and the first yarn feeder is crossed. In the method of knitting a tubular knitted fabric in which the second knitted fabric portion is knitted by moving the second yarn feeder,
A step A of moving the first yarn feeder in the first direction after knitting the terminal stitch of the intarsia portion and forming a tuck on the knitting needle on which the stitch of the second knitted fabric portion is held;
By arranging the first yarn feeder on the second direction side of the tuck after the step A, the knitting needle advances into the needle gap when knitting the second knitted fabric portion. The step B for removing the tuck stitches is performed.
However, the first direction is a direction toward the outside of the intarsia portion,
The second direction is a direction toward the inside of the intarsia portion.

<2> As one embodiment of the knitting method of the tubular knitted fabric of the present invention,
The position where the tuck stitch is formed in the step A is a position within three stitches in the knitting width direction when viewed from the terminal stitch,
The position where the first yarn feeder is arranged in the step B may be a position within two stitches in the knitting width direction when viewed from the tuck stitch.

<3> As one embodiment of the knitting method of the tubular knitted fabric of the present invention,
After knitting the terminal stitch and before the step A, performing the step X, the step Y, and the step Z,
In the step X, the first yarn feeder is moved in the first direction, and the first knitted fabric portion and the second knitted fabric portion are knitted on knitting needles that are not locked to form a first stitch,
In the step Y, by arranging the first yarn feeder on the second direction side of the first stitch, the knitting yarn extending from the first yarn feeder to the first stitch is distributed between the terminal stitch and the first stitch. Cross the crossover yarn that connects the first stitch,
In the step Z, the first stitch is moved to a needle bed on which the first knitted fabric portion is held.

<4> As one embodiment of the knitting method of the tubular knitted fabric of the present invention,
A mode in which the first knitted fabric portion and the second knitted fabric portion are knitted in a full needle state is exemplified.

According to the knitting method of the present invention, when knitting the second knitted fabric portion that overlaps the intarsia portion in the knitting width direction, it is not necessary to kick back the second yarn feeder, as will be described in detail in an embodiment described later. . Therefore, it is not necessary to stop the second yarn feeder when knitting the second knitted fabric portion. By knitting the second knitted fabric portion without stopping the second yarn feeder, variation in the size of the plurality of stitches arranged in the knitting width direction of the second knitted fabric portion is less likely to occur.

Here, in the process A of the knitting method of the present invention, the knitting yarn supplied from the first yarn feeder is used to form tucks in the stitches of the second knitted fabric portion. Therefore, when knitting the second knitted fabric portion, it may seem that the first knitted fabric portion and the second knitted fabric portion are bound together. However, as will be described in detail in an embodiment to be described later, the tuck stitches in step A come off the knitting needles when knitting the second knitted fabric portion. will not be

When knitting a tubular knitted fabric with a flat knitting machine equipped with knitting aids such as loop pressers and stitch pressers, there is a risk that the knitting yarn extending from the first yarn feeder may be caught by the knitting aids. In that case, the first knitted fabric portion and the second knitted fabric portion may be bound. According to the knitting methods of forms <2> and <3> described above, it is possible to effectively prevent the knitting yarn extending from the first yarn feeder from being caught by the auxiliary knitting member, as will be described in detail in the embodiments described later.

According to the knitting method of form <4>, a firm tubular knitted fabric having tight stitches can be knitted.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a knitwear that is a tubular knitted fabric according to Embodiment 1. FIG. FIG. 2 is an image diagram showing an example of the knitting method according to the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a knitting process diagram showing a part of the knitting process of the knitting method according to the first embodiment. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a needle bed explaining part of the knitting process of the knitting method according to the first embodiment.

<Embodiment 1>
In Embodiment 1, an example of knitting knitwear having an intarsia structure using the knitting method of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG. Of course, the knitted fabric knitted by the knitting method of this example is not limited to knitwear, and may be industrial materials such as seat covers.

A tubular knitted fabric 100 shown in FIG. 1 is a sweater having a body 50, a right sleeve 60R and a left sleeve 60L. The body 50 includes a front body 50F and a back body 50B. The left and right sides of the sweater are based on the left and right sides of the wearer, and the front and rear sides of the sweater are based on the front and back sides of the wearer. An intarsia portion 3 is formed on the front body 50F. The intarsia section 3 is obtained by intarsia knitting. Therefore, the knitting yarns forming the intarsia portion 3 and the knitting yarns forming portions other than the intarsia portion 3 are different.

The procedure for knitting the intarsia section 3 will be explained based on the image diagram of FIG. In this example, a knitting example using a four-bed flat knitting machine will be described. Below, the lower front needle bed, the lower back needle bed, the upper front needle bed, and the upper back needle bed provided in the four-bed flat knitting machine are denoted by FD, BD, FU, and BU, respectively. In this example, FD and FU are the first needle beds, and BD and BU are the second needle beds. The knitting needles provided in the FD, BD, FU, and BU may be compound needles provided with sliders for opening and closing hooks, or latch needles provided with latches for opening and closing hooks. A four-bed flat knitting machine has a plurality of yarn feeders. This example is a knitting example using a first yarn feeder 8 that feeds the first knitting yarn 8Y and a second yarn feeder 9 that feeds the second knitting yarn 9Y. The yarn feeders 8 and 9 may be configured to be accompanied by the carriage, or may be configured to be movable independently of the carriage. The yarn feeders 8 and 9 of this example are configured to be movable independently of the carriage. The first knitting yarn 8Y fed from the first yarn feeder 8 is used for knitting the intarsia portion 3 . The second knitting yarn 9Y fed from the second yarn feeder 9 is used for knitting other than the intarsia portion 3. Of course, three or more yarn feeders may be used for knitting.

In FIG. 2, the yarn feeders 8 and 9 are indicated by inverted triangular marks. The first yarn feeder 8 is arranged on the front side of the second yarn feeder 9 as viewed from the FD. In other words, the second yarn feeder 9 is arranged on the front side of the first yarn feeder 8 as viewed from the BD. Horizontal bars shown at both ends of body 50 are boundaries between front body 50F and back body 50B. "T+Number" in FIG. 2 indicates the knitting procedure. Thick arrows indicate movement of the yarn feeders 8 and 9 .

At T0, the body 50 knitted up to just before the intarsia portion 3 is shown. The body 50 of this example is knitted by tubular knitting using the second yarn feeder 9 . From this state, the front body 50F having the intarsia portion 3 and the back body 50B facing the front body 50F are knitted. After T1, the front body 50F having the intarsia part 3 is defined as the first knitted fabric part 1, and the back body 50B is defined as the second knitted fabric part 2.

In T1, yarn is inserted into the first yarn feeder 8 from outside the knitting width of the body 50 (T0), and after moving the first yarn feeder 8 to the right, reciprocating knitting is performed by moving it to the left. By this reciprocating knitting, the intarsia portion 3 is knitted in two stages in the wale direction in the FD. After the knitting of the intarsia portion 3, the knitting shown in the knitting process diagrams of FIGS. 3 and 4, which will be described later, is performed.

At T2, reciprocating knitting is performed by moving the second yarn feeder 9 to the right and then to the left. By this reciprocating knitting, the right portion 1R of the FD is knitted in two stages in the wale direction. The right portion 1R is part of the first knitted fabric portion 1. As shown in FIG. The right portion 1R is adjacent to the right side (left side in the drawing) of the intarsia portion 3 in the knitting width direction, and is joined to the intarsia portion 3 by knitting such as tucking.

At T3, the second yarn feeder 9 is moved rightward, and the second knitted fabric portion 2 is knitted on the BD. In this example, the knitting range of the intarsia portion 3 overlaps the knitting range of the second knitted fabric portion 2 . Therefore, when knitting the second knitted fabric portion 2 , the second yarn feeder 9 crosses the first yarn feeder 8 . In this example, the second knitted fabric portion 2 can be knitted without stopping the second yarn feeder 9 by performing the knitting shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 after T1. After the knitting of T3, the knitting of FIGS. 3 and 4 is performed again.

At T4, reciprocating knitting is performed by moving the second yarn feeder 9 leftward and then rightward. By this reciprocating knitting, the left portion 1L of the FD is knitted in two stages in the wale direction. The left portion 1L is part of the first knitted fabric portion 1. As shown in FIG. The left portion 1L is adjacent to the left side (right side in the drawing) of the intarsia portion 3 in the knitting width direction, and is joined to the intarsia portion 3 by knitting such as tucking.

At T5, the second yarn feeder 9 is moved leftward, and the second knitted fabric portion 2 is knitted on the rear needle bed BD. The second yarn feeder 9 also crosses the first yarn feeder 8 at T5. Since the knitting shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is performed after T3, the second knitted fabric portion 2 can be knitted without stopping the second yarn feeder 9 . The arrangement of the yarn feeders 8 and 9 at the end of T5 is the same as that of T1. Therefore, after T5, by repeating the knitting from T1 to T5, the intarsia portion 3 is knitted in the body 50 as shown in FIG.

Next, a specific knitting process for the portion having the intarsia portion 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. "S+Number" in FIG. 3 indicates the number of the knitting process. The right column of FIG. 3 shows the state of the stitches held in FD, BD, and BU. Illustration of the FU is omitted in FIG. In the right column, black dots indicate knitting needles, circle marks indicate stitches, V-shaped marks indicate pickup stitches or tuck stitches, and inverted triangular marks indicate yarn feeders 8 and 9 . Uppercase letters in the margin indicate the positions of the knitting needles. The portion actually knitted in each process is indicated by a thick line, and the newly knitted stitches are indicated by a solid line.

S0 in FIG. 3 shows a stitch corresponding to the left half of T0 in FIG. In this example, the first knitted fabric portion 1 and the second knitted fabric portion 2 are knitted in a full needle state with no empty needles between adjacent stitches.

In S1, the first yarn feeder 8 is moved rightward to form a pickup stitch 10 on the knitting needle K of the BU, which is an empty needle, and then the intarsia portion 3 held on the knitting needle T from the knitting needle L of the FD is knitted. . The knitting of the pick up stitches 10 is not essential. The knitting of S1 corresponds to the outward knitting of T1 in FIG.

In S2, the first yarn feeder 8 is moved leftward, and the intarsia portion 3 held by the knitting needle T to the knitting needle L of the FD is knitted. The knitting of S2 corresponds to the backward knitting of T1 in FIG. Further, in S2, after the knitting of the intarsia portion 3 is completed, the first yarn feeder 8 is moved leftward to knit the first stitch 11 continuous in the wale direction of the pick-up stitch 10 (step X). In this example, the left direction in FIG. 3 away from the intarsia portion 3 is called a first direction D1, and the right direction toward the intarsia portion 3 is called a second direction D2. A first direction D1 and a second direction D2 are shown in the margin next to the capital letters. Here, when the pickup stitch 10 is not formed in S1, the first stitch 11 in S2 becomes the pickup stitch. The first stitch 11 needs to exist on the needle bed facing the first knitted fabric portion 1 at the time when the next S3 is performed.

In S3, by arranging the first yarn feeder 8 on the second direction D2 side of the first stitch 11, the first knitting yarn 8Y extending from the first yarn feeder 8 to the first stitch 11 crosses the jumping yarn 12. (Step Y). In this example, the first knitting yarn 8Y crosses the crossover yarn 12 by moving the first yarn feeder 8 in the second direction D2. The crossover yarn 12 connects the terminal stitch 3E held at the FD and the first stitch 11 held at the BU. The terminal stitch 3E is the stitch that is knitted last among the plurality of stitches of the intarsia portion 3 that are knitted in S2. That is, the jump yarn 12 crosses over the front and rear needle beds. Different from this example, the first knitting yarn 8Y may cross the crossover yarn 12 by racking the BD and BU in the first direction D1.

In S4, the first stitch 11 is moved to the needle bed on which the first knitted fabric portion 1 is held (step Z). Specifically, the first stitch 11 is moved to the knitting needle K of the FD. At this time, the first knitting yarn 8Y intersecting the jumping yarn 12 is hooked on the jumping yarn 12 and pulled toward the FD side. Further, the movement of the first stitch 11 in S4 causes the first stitch 11 to overlap the stitch 19 (see S3). The stitch 19 is a stitch of a portion other than the intarsia portion 3 in the first knitted fabric portion 1 . By overlapping the stitch 19 and the first stitch 11, when the right portion 1R is formed at T2 in FIG. 2, the intarsia portion 3 and the right portion 1R are joined more firmly.

The knitting procedure following S4 will be explained based on FIG. FIG. 4 schematically shows a state in which the stitches are held on the knitting needles of the FD and BD. The marginal capital letters in FIG. 4 indicate the positions of the knitting needles. The capital letters in FIG. 4 correspond to the capital letters in FIG. In FIG. 4, the stitches other than the stitches of the intarsia portion 3 are omitted. Actually, the stitches of the first knitted fabric portion 1 are held on the knitting needles J, K of the FD, and the stitches of the second knitted fabric portion 2 are held on the knitting needles J, K, L, M of the BD. A sinker 6 and a loop presser 5 are arranged between adjacent knitting needles. The sinker 6 is configured to adjust the shape of a sinker loop connecting two stitches adjacent in the knitting width direction. The loop presser 5 is configured to press a stitch or a knitting yarn below the needle bed gap 7 (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-64205). Loop presser 5 is not an essential component. Here, in S5 and S6, illustration of the sinker 6 and the loop presser 5 provided in the FD is omitted.

S4 in FIG. 4 shows the state of the stitches held when S4 in FIG. 3 is completed. As shown in S4, the first knitting yarn 8Y extending from the first stitch 11 toward the first yarn feeder 8 is hooked on the crossover yarn 12 and pulled toward the FD. Therefore, even if the knitting needle of the BD is moved, the first knitting yarn 8Y is less likely to be hooked on the knitting needle of the BD. For example, even if a flat knitting machine equipped with a stitch presser (JP-A-3-8841) is used, it is difficult for the stitch presser to catch the first knitting yarn 8Y. The stitch presser is a member that presses an existing stitch held on the needle bed below the needle bed gap 7 when knitting a new stitch. A tooth gap 7 is a gap formed between the FD and the BD. The lower side of the tooth gap 7 is the back side in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface. The stitch presser is mounted on the carriage and moves with the carriage.

In S5, the first yarn feeder 8 is moved in the first direction D1 to form tucks 15 in the stitches of the second knitted fabric portion 2 (see Fig. 3) (step A). Specifically, a tuck stitch 15 is formed on the hook 4 of the knitting needle J of the BD. The formation position of the tuck stitch 15 is preferably within three stitches in the knitting width direction when viewed from the terminal stitch 3E. In this example, the formation position of the tuck stitch 15 is a position two stitches apart in the knitting width direction when viewed from the terminal stitch 3E.

In S5, the first yarn feeder 8 is arranged on the second direction D2 side of the tuck 15 (step B). In this example, the first yarn feeder 8 is moved in the second direction D2 and stopped at a position beyond the tuck 15 . The stop position of the first yarn feeder 8 is preferably within two stitches in the knitting width direction when viewed from the tuck stitch 15 . In this example, the stop position of the first yarn feeder 8 is between the knitting needle J and the knitting needle K. As shown in FIG. This stop position is a position away from the tuck stitch 15 by 0.5 stitches in the knitting width direction. As shown in S5, after the tuck stitches 15 are formed, the first yarn feeder 8 is moved in the second direction D2. As a result, the portion of the first knitting yarn 8Y extending from the first yarn feeder 8 to the tuck 15 and the portion extending from the tuck 15 to the first stitch 11 are stretched without slack. Therefore, the tuck eye 15 is in a state as if it were hooked on the tip of the hook 4 . Unlike this example, the first yarn feeder 8 may be arranged on the second direction D2 side of the tuck 15 by racking the BD in the first direction D1.

After S5 is performed, T2 and T3 in FIG. 2 are performed. At the time of S5, the first knitting yarn 8Y extending from the terminal stitch 3E to the first yarn feeder 8 is folded back by the hook 4 and is stretched without slack. Since the first knitting yarn 8Y is stretched without slack, the tuck 15 is hooked on the tip of the hook 4 of the knitting needle J. Therefore, as shown in S6, when the knitting needles J, K of the BD advance to the needle gap 7 to knit the second knitted fabric portion 2, the tuck 15 (S5) is disengaged from the hook 4. Here, the stitches of the second knitted fabric portion 2 (FIG. 2) are arranged behind the hook 4 of the knitting needle J, and are pulled below the needle gap 7 by the existing second knitted fabric portion 2, so that the knitting needle J I can't get out of

In S6, the knitting yarn (part of the first knitting yarn 8Y) extending from the first yarn feeder 8 to the first stitch 11 is arranged below the knitting needle K during knitting. This state is because the portion extending from the tuck stitch 15 to the first stitch 11 in S5 is in a state of being taut without slack. The knitting yarn extending from the first yarn feeder 8 to the first stitch 11 is neither hooked on the hook 4 of the knitting needle K nor hooked on the stitch presser. Therefore, by performing the knitting shown in S5, even if the knitting needles of the BD are moved to knit the second knitted fabric portion 2 (T3 in FIG. 2), the first knitting yarn 8Y is It cannot be woven. Moreover, there is no need to stop the second yarn feeder 9 when knitting the second knitted fabric portion 2 .

At S6, the loop presser 5 advances toward the tooth gap 7. In this example, even if the loop presser 5 advances toward the needle gap 7 , the first knitting yarn 8Y is not knitted into the second knitted fabric portion 2 . This is because, as shown in S5, the first yarn feeder 8 is arranged between the knitting needles J and K, and the portion extending from the first yarn feeder 8 to the tuck 15 is below the operating range of the loop presser 5. This is because they are arranged. When knitting is performed using a flat knitting machine without the loop presser 5, the stop position of the first yarn feeder 8 may be on the second direction D2 side of the position S5.

Here, in S5, it is preferable that the angle θ between the knitting yarn extending from the first stitch 11 to the tuck stitch 15 (part of the first knitting yarn 8Y) and the lengthwise direction of the needle bed is small. The smaller the angle θ, the easier it is for the knitting yarn extending from the first yarn feeder 8 to be arranged below the knitting needle K in S6. In addition, the knitting yarn is less likely to be hooked on a stitch presser (not shown). In this example, by performing the knitting of FIG. 3, the knitting yarn from the first stitch 11 to the tuck stitch 15 is pulled out from the knitting needle K on the second direction D2 side. Therefore, the angle θ in this example is smaller than when the knitting yarn directed from the first stitch 11 to the tuck stitch 15 is pulled out from the knitting needle K in the first direction D1. As a means for reducing the angle θ, a knitting needle that forms the tuck stitch 15 may be a knitting needle located on the side of the knitting needle J in the first direction D1.

As described above, by performing the knitting in FIGS. 3 and 4, even if the second knitted fabric portion 2 is knitted without kicking back the second yarn feeder 9 at T3 and T5 in FIG. The part 1 and the second knitted fabric part 2 cannot be closed. Therefore, it is not necessary to stop the second yarn feeder 9 when knitting the second knitted fabric portion 2 . By knitting the second knitted fabric portion 2 without stopping the second yarn feeder 9, the second knitted fabric portion 2 is knitted while the tension of the second knitting yarn 9Y extending from the second yarn feeder 9 is kept constant. can. As a result, the tubular knitted fabric 100 with a good appearance is knitted without causing variations in the sizes of the plurality of stitches forming the second knitted fabric portion 2 .

<Others>
The organization shown in FIG. 3 is not essential. For example, after knitting the intarsia portion 3 by the reciprocating knitting shown in T1 of FIG. 2, the knitting shown in S5 of FIG. 4 may be performed without performing the knitting shown in FIG. In this case, the terminal stitch 3E and the tuck stitch 15 are directly connected. When the knitting of FIG. 3 is not performed, the terminal stitch 3E of the intarsia portion 3 is preferably knitted by moving the first yarn feeder 8 in the second direction D2. By doing so, the terminal stitch 3E becomes a twisted stitch. A knitting yarn extending from the terminal stitch 3E to the tuck stitch 15 is pulled out from the knitting needle L on the second direction D2 side. As a result, the angle between the knitting yarn extending from the terminal stitch 3E to the tuck stitch 15 and the longitudinal direction of the needle bed becomes smaller.

The first knitted fabric portion 1 and the second knitted fabric portion 2 may be knitted in a needle-free state in which empty needles are arranged between adjacent stitches. If the first knitted fabric portion 1 and the second knitted fabric portion 2 are knitted in a needle-free state, the flat knitting machine used in the knitting method of the present invention may be a two-bed flat knitting machine.

The front body 50F may have a plurality of intarsia portions 3. In addition to the front body 50F, the back body 50B may also have at least one intarsia portion 3. When the front body 50F and the back body 50B each have an intarsia portion 3, knitting is performed using four or more yarn feeders. In this case, when knitting the intarsia portion 3 of the front body 50F, the front body 50F is regarded as the first knitted fabric part 1 and the back body 50B is regarded as the second knitted fabric part 2, and the knitting method of the present invention is carried out. When knitting the intarsia portion 3 of the back body 50B, the back body 50B is regarded as the first knitted fabric portion 1 and the front body 50F is regarded as the second knitted fabric portion 2, and the knitting method of the present invention is carried out.
