Description

Tubular knitted fabric body and knitting method thereof

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a tubular knitted fabric body and a knitting method thereof, and is particularly suitable for use in short socks, long socks, foot warmers, arm warmers, supporters, tights, stockings, etc. having the tubular knitted fabric portion. The present invention relates to a tubular knitted fabric body and a knitting method thereof.

As an example of the prior art that serves as the background of the present invention, a leg supporter has been proposed in which the wearing pressure (tightening force) is set to low pressure, medium pressure, high pressure, medium pressure, and low pressure from the ankle side. In the case of this leg supporter, the upper supporter body tightens the calves with strong pressure at the center in the vertical direction, tightens the calves with low pressure at both ends, and moderately presses the calves between the center and both ends. The lower support body tightens the arch of the foot with strong pressure (see Patent Document 1, for example).
In this leg supporter, band-shaped ring-shaped portions with a high clamping force and band-shaped ring-shaped portions with a low clamping force are alternately arranged in the vertical direction on the lower leg, so that the muscles of the calf are stretched during exercise. It is intended to promote the circulation of blood in the legs by utilizing the deformation.
Further, another example of the prior art, which is the background of the present invention, has a foot part attached to the foot, a leg part attached to the lower leg, and a cuff part, and the lower end of the leg part and the cuff part A pressure area that applies pressure to the lower leg is provided between the leg and the lower end of the leg. By twisting the leg part outward or inward and attaching it to the lower leg, the pressure area applies pressure and torsional force to the calf. A characteristic compression swirl high sock has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

JP-A-11-131303 Utility Model Registration No. 3161695

However, the leg supporter described in Patent Literature 1 applies a stepwise pressure of weak pressure, medium pressure, strong pressure, medium pressure, and weak pressure from below to above the calf. Since the force is applied in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the lower leg, the muscles of the calves such as the triceps surae are simply compressed toward the axis. In this case, a strong tightening force acts on the entire circumference of the calf, and the calf is always strongly tightened toward the center of the leg. Therefore, this leg supporter feels cramped when worn, and is not as effective in preventing or reducing edema as expected.
Moreover, when used within a predetermined time, the legs feel lighter, but when used for a long period of time, the blood circulation in the lower limbs is inhibited, causing fatigue and edema in the lower limbs. I was afraid to. Therefore, it is inconvenient as a leg supporter that is used for a long time such as jogging or hiking.
Further, the leg supporter described in Patent Document 1 is knitted by the same knitting method in the course direction of the shin side on the front side of the leg portion and the calf side on the rear side of the leg portion, and the whole has a relatively strong tightening force. Therefore, it was difficult to put on.
On the other hand, it is not intended to apply pressure to a specific area (for example, the calf side) with a partial difference in strength, and its effectiveness has been questioned from a medical point of view.
In addition, the compression swirling high socks described in Patent Document 2 are worn on the lower leg by twisting the leg portion outward by about 160 to 200°, more preferably 180°, or after wearing the high socks, the leg portion is twisted. In either case, wearing the high socks while twisting the leg portion is troublesome.

Therefore, by transferring the stitches of the shifted side end to the empty needles of the opposing needle bed, the knitted fabric is rotated clockwise, for example.

The discussion and discussion results of the measurement results of FIGS. 32 and 33 are shown below.
<Discussion>
・Sample No. 1 to sample No. Looking at 12, the pressure value (applied pressure) is higher with wrapping than without wrapping.
・Sample No. 1 with wrapping and sample No. 1. When compared with the case of 4 with wrapping, the pressure value (wearing pressure) is slightly higher in the knit than in the tuck.
・Sample No. Looking at sample No. 1 and sample No. 4, the difference in pressure value (difference in pressure) between the area where the rubber thread is inserted and the area where the rubber thread is not inserted is large. In this case, the difference in pressure value (difference in pressure applied) is sample No. 4 is larger.
・Sample No. 7 and sample no. 10, there is no relatively large difference in the pressure value (wearing pressure) between the presence and absence of the wrapping.
・Sample No. 1 and sample no. When comparing with Sample No. 7, the overall pressure value (wearing pressure) is lower than that of Sample No. Sample No. 7 is higher, but the difference in pressure value (difference in wearing pressure) is greater than that of sample No. 7. 1 is larger.
・Sample No. 1 to sample No. 3 and sample no. 7 to sample No. Looking at 9, regardless of the presence or absence of wrapping and the difference in the surface thread structure, the pressure value (wearing pressure) is higher when the rubber thread is embedded on the entire surface than when it is embedded on only one side. is big.
・Sample No. 1 to sample No. 3 and sample no. 4 to sample No. Looking at 6, in the case of wrap-around, the pressure value (wearing pressure) of JQ decreases when knitting, and the pressure value (wearing pressure) of JQ increases when tucking.
・Looking at samples No. 1 to 6 and samples No. 7 to 12, the difference in pressure value (difference in pressure) is smaller on the entire surface.
・Looking at sample No. 1 to sample No. 6 and sample No. 7 to sample No. 12, the difference in pressure value (difference in contact pressure) is greater with wrapping than without wrapping. . That is, the difference in pressure value (difference in contact pressure) is greater with the wrap than with the wrap without the wrap.
・Looking at samples No. 1 to No. 3 and samples No. 4 to No. 6, it was found that rubber threads were inserted on one side (rubber tucked) and no wrapping was performed on one side. The opposing pressure value tends to be lower than in the case where the rubber thread is not inserted and there is no wrapping.

<Consideration result>
・Partial pressure value (wearing pressure) is increased by turning.
・When the rubber thread is inserted or tucked in the area (pressure area) on one side, the difference in pressure value is large, and effective pressure value (pressure) is exhibited.
・Sample No. 1 to sample No. Looking at 12, in general, the pressure value (wearing pressure) tends to be stronger in the case of knitwear than in the case of tucking, but the difference in pressure value (difference in wearing pressure) is greater in the case of tucking is more effective.
・Sample No. 1, sample No. 4 and sample No. 6 exhibit effective pressure values (wearing pressure).
32 and 33, the rubber thread is inserted or tucked by twisting the region (pressure-bonding region) in which the rubber thread is inserted or tucked on one side. The pressure value (applied pressure) in the area (applied pressure area) is large.

Here, among the measurement results of FIGS. 32 and 33, sample No. 1, sample no. 4, sample no. 7 and sample no. When the measurement results of sample No. 10 were selected and examined, sample No. 1, the pressure value in the region where the rubber thread is inserted (pressure-bonding region) is higher when the single-sided rubber tack is wrapped. Also, sample no. 4, the pressure value in the area where the rubber thread is tucked (pressure area) is higher with the wrapping. Also, sample no. 7, there is no relatively large difference in the pressure value (applied pressure) between the presence and absence of the wrapping of the full rubber tack. Also, sample no. 10, there is no relatively large difference in the pressure value between the presence and absence of the wrapping of the rubber knit on the entire surface.

That is, the pressure value at the rubber thread insertion portion is higher in the case of the presence or absence of the twisting. Also, when there is no wrapping, the pressure value is higher at the facing portion than at the rubber thread insertion portion. In addition, when the rubber thread is inserted over the entire surface, the pressure value (wearing pressure) of the entire tubular knitted fabric increases, but the pressure value difference (wearing pressure difference) decreases.
In particular, in the case of a single-sided rubber tuck in which a rubber thread is inserted on one side or a single-sided rubber knit in which a rubber thread is woven on one side, the pressure value (wearing pressure) of the rubber thread insertion part by turning and the rubber thread insertion by turning It is possible to increase the difference from the pressure value of the blank portion (opposing portion).
