Abstract

The needle (1) has a hooked end (3) and a slider (2) with a heel (4), a beak (5) and a shoulder to support the stitch. The slider moves relative to the needle to open and close the hook with its beak and move each stitch with its beak and shoulder. The slider has a U-shaped cross-section and a stepped end forming the beak for carrying a stitch. For part of its length from the beak the slider recess is wide enough to permit the passage of a needle with a stitch on it.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet une aiguille à coulisse pour machine à tricoter, comprenant une aiguille munie d'un bec et une coulisse munie d'un talon, d'un bec et d'un épaulement d'appui de maille, cette coulisse étant déplaçable relativement à l'aiguille pour fermer et ouvrir le bec de l'aiguille par son bec et pour entraíner une maille par son bec et son épaulement pour exécuter un report de maille.The present invention relates to a needle slide for knitting machine, comprising a needle with a beak and a slide with a heel, beak and mesh support shoulder, this slide being movable relative to the needle to close and open the needle beak by its beak and to train a mesh by its beak and his shoulder to carry out a transfer of mesh.

Les aiguilles à coulisse ou à piston sont connues depuis longtemps.Sliding or piston needles are known since a long time.

La première aiguille à coulisse à usage industriel, créée par J.F. WILCOMB en 1924, présente une aiguille se déplaçant à l'intérieur d'une coulisse. Cette construction ne permettait que la fermeture du bec de l'aiguille, mais pas le report de maille par la coulisse.The first sliding needle for industrial use, created by J.F. WILCOMB in 1924, presents a needle moving inside a slide. This construction only allowed the closure of the spout the needle, but not the transfer of stitch by the backstage.

Des brevets US 4,043,153 et 5,186,026 et des demandes de brevets DE 31 51 150, 32 20 049 et 4 231 015, on connaít des aiguilles à coulisse dont l'aiguille proprement dite est en forme de coulisse dans laquelle se déplace un piston venant fermer le bec de l'aiguille. L'utilisation d'un piston pour fermer le bec de l'aiguille permet de supprimer le clapet des aiguilles traditionnelles, ce qui permet d'obtenir une aiguille plus robuste et de réduire la course de l'aiguille lors de la formation de la maille. Le piston permet en outre d'effectuer un report de maille d'une aiguille d'une fonture à une aiguille de la fonture opposée. Cette construction à piston et aiguille en forme de coulisse à été adoptée par d'autres constructeurs. L'aiguille est toujours sous le piston, sauf dans la construction selon le brevet US 4,434,627, dans laquelle le piston, profilé en U, est sous l'aiguille.US patents 4,043,153 and 5,186,026 and applications of patents DE 31 51 150, 32 20 049 and 4 231 015, we knows about sliding needles including the needle itself is in the form of a slide in which moves a piston closing the nozzle of the needle. Using a plunger to close the needle beak removes the valve traditional needles, which provides a sturdier needle and reduce the stroke of the needle during the formation of the stitch. The piston also allows carrying out a mesh transfer of a needle from a needle bed to a needle from the needle bed opposite. This piston and needle construction in backstage has been adopted by others builders. The needle is still under the piston, except in construction according to US patent 4,434,627, in which the piston, U-shaped, is under the needle.

Pour l'exécution du report de maille l'aiguille coulisse est parfois munie d'une pièce rapportée fixée sur le côté de l'aiguille (DE 36 24 038).For carrying out the needle transfer slide is sometimes fitted with a fixed insert on the side of the needle (DE 36 24 038).

On connaít également des aiguilles coumpound à ressort latéral, ainsi que des aiguilles à coulisse double.We also know spring-loaded coumpound needles side, as well as double sliding needles.

D'une manière générale, avec les aiguilles à piston selon l'art antérieur, la réception de la maille reportée est toujours effectuée par et dans le bec de l'aiguille. Par conséquent, si une maille est déjà présente dans le bec de cette aiguille, il est impossible de différencier l'action suivante, de report ou de tricotage, pour chacune de ces mailles.Generally, with plunger needles according to the prior art, the reception of the mesh deferred is always carried out by and in the spout of the needle. Therefore, if a mesh is already present in the beak of this needle it is impossible to differentiate next action, postponement or knitting, for each of these stitches.

D'autre part, pour transférer latéralement un ensemble de mailles d'un certain nombre d'aiguilles à des aiguilles voisines, opération communément dénommée "poinçonnage", il est nécessaire de faire appel à une fonture auxiliaire dans laquelle des aiguilles ou des poinçons viennent saisir les mailles sur les aiguilles pour les transférer sur les autres aiguilles.On the other hand, to laterally transfer a set of a number of needles to neighboring needles, commonly known as an operation "punching", it is necessary to use a auxiliary needle bed in which needles or punches seize the stitches on the needles to transfer them to the other needles.

L'invention a pour but de réaliser une aiguille à coulisse offrant de nouvelles possibilités de tricotage, en particulier la possibilité de poinçonner sans fonture et poinçons auxiliaires.The object of the invention is to produce a needle backstage offering new possibilities for knitting, in particular the possibility of punching without needle and auxiliary punches.

L'aiguille à coulisse selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce que la coulisse présente un profil en U par lequel elle chevauche l'aiguille, et qu'elle est fendue dans sa région terminale, comprenant le bec, pour laisser passer une aiguille ou une coulisse opposée pour l'exécution d'un report de maille ou d'un poinçonnage.The sliding needle according to the invention is characterized in that the slide has a profile in a U by which it straddles the needle, and that it is split in its terminal region, including the beak, to pass a needle or a slide opposite for the execution of a mesh transfer or a punching.

Dans une machine à tricoter rectiligne à deux fontures déplaçables longitudinalement, l'aiguille à coulisse selon l'invention permet donc non seulement d'assurer la fonction connue de report de maille, mais également la fonction de poinçonnage pour les aiguilles de la fonture opposée, par simple déplacement d'une fonture. Il est ainsi possible de se passer de fonture auxiliaire et de ses poinçons.In a straight knitting machine with two needle beds longitudinally movable, the sliding needle according to the invention therefore not only ensures the known mesh transfer function, but also the punching function for the hands of the opposite bed, by simply moving a bed. It is thus possible to do without needle auxiliary and its punches.

La coulisse chevauchant l'aiguille, celle-ci peut se retirer dans la coulisse avec une ou plusieurs mailles, tandis qu'une autre maille peut rester sur la coulisse maintenue en position haute. Les mailles présentes sur les coulisses peuvent alors être transférées sur les coulisses ou dans les becs des aiguilles de la même fonture ou de la fonture opposée. Avec une même aiguille, il est ainsi possible de séparer des mailles et de les travailler de manières différentes.The slide overlaps the needle, it can remove backstage with one or more stitches, while another mesh can remain on the backstage held in the high position. The meshes present on backstage can then be transferred to backstage or in the needle noses of the same needle bed or opposite needle bed. With the same needle, it is thus possible to separate stitches and work with them in different ways.

Afin de ne pas blesser la maille ou les mailles qui se trouvent ainsi à l'intérieur de la coulisse, cette dernière présente, sur une partie de sa longueur à partir de son bec, une largeur intérieure sensiblement supérieure à l'épaisseur de l'aiguille de manière à permettre le passage de la maille ou des mailles situées dans le bec de l'aiguille.In order not to injure the mesh or the meshes which thus find inside the slide, this last present, over part of its length at from its beak, an interior width appreciably greater than the thickness of the needle so that allow the passage of the mesh or meshes located in the needle beak.

Les déplacements nécessaires aux différentes opérations de l'aiguille à coulisse selon l'invention sont de très faible amplitude. Ceci permet de diminuer la longueur du porte-cames, de réduire la course du chariot et d'augmenter la production de tricot.Travel required for different operations of the sliding needle according to the invention are very low amplitude. This reduces the length of the cam holder, reduce the carriage stroke and to increase knitting production.

En résumé, l'aiguille à coulisse selon l'invention permet :

  • a) de réceptionner une maille sur une coulisse tout en ayant une ou plusieurs mailles dans le bec de l'aiguille correspondant à la coulisse qui réceptionne;
  • b) de réceptionner une maille dans le bec de l'aiguille;
  • c) de reporter cette maille ou une autre maille, tout en conservant une ou des mailles dans le bec de l'aiguille correspondant à la coulisse qui effectue se report, la maille ou les mailles présentes dans le bec de l'aiguille pouvant être ensuite reportées ou tricotées;
  • d) d'utiliser la coulisse comme élément de relais pour déplacer une ou un ensemble de mailles de la même fonture par poinçonnage.
    • In summary, the sliding needle according to the invention allows:
  • a) to receive a stitch on a slide while having one or more stitches in the needle beak corresponding to the slide that receives;
  • b) receiving a stitch in the needle beak;
  • c) to transfer this stitch or another stitch, while preserving one or more stitches in the needle beak corresponding to the slide which carries out the transfer, the stitch or stitches present in the beak of the needle can then be postponed or knitted;
  • d) to use the slide as a relay element to move one or a set of meshes of the same needle bed by punching.

    • Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, un mode d'exécution de l'aiguille à coulisse selon l'invention.The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, a mode of the sliding needle according to the invention.

    La figure 1 en représente une vue de côté, en position de formation.Figure 1 shows a side view, in position training.

    La figure 2 est une vue de côté de la coulisse seule.Figure 2 is a side view of the slide alone.

    La figure 3 est une vue de dessus de la coulisse, dans la direction de la flèche, figure 2.Figure 3 is a top view of the slide, in the direction of the arrow, figure 2.

    La figure 4 est une vue en coupe selon IV-IV de la figure 2.Figure 4 is a sectional view along IV-IV of the figure 2.

    La figure 5 représente l'aiguille à coulisse en position de préparation de report de maille.FIG. 5 represents the sliding needle in mesh transfer preparation position.

    La figure 6 représente l'aiguille à coulisse en position de report de maille.Figure 6 shows the sliding needle in mesh transfer position.

    La figure 7 représente l'aiguille à coulisse en position de poinçonnage par la coulisse d'une aiguille de la fonture opposée.FIG. 7 represents the sliding needle in punching position by the sliding of a needle from the opposite bed.

    L'aiguille à coulisse représentée est constituée d'une aiguille 1 et d'une coulisse 2 à l'intérieur de laquelle coulisse l'aiguille 1. The sliding needle shown consists of a needle 1 and a slide 2 inside which slides the needle 1.

    L'aiguille 1 est munie d'un bec 3 à son extrémité. Dans l'exécution représentée, l'aiguille 1 n'a pas de talon car elle est supposée être entraínée par une clavette. Elle pourrait toutefois être munie d'un ou plusieurs talons pour son entraínement par les cames du porte-cames.The needle 1 is provided with a spout 3 at its end. In the execution shown, needle 1 has no heel because it is supposed to be driven by a key. However, it could be fitted with one or more heels for its training by the cams of the cam holder.

    La coulisse 2 présente un profil en U (figure 4) par lequel elle chevauche l'aiguille 1. A l'arrière, la coulisse 2 est munie d'un talon 4 pour son entraínement et à l'avant elle présente un bec 5 dont la partie supérieure est située en dessous du niveau du dos de la coulisse de manière à former un épaulement 6. Sur le bec 5 les côtés de la coulisse se referment selon une ligne de joint 15 de manière à former une surface arrondie de glissement pour les mailles. Les bords de ces côtés sont en outre arrondis entre l'extrémité du bec 5 et les bords inférieurs 8 de la coulisse. En arrière de l'épaulement 6 le profil en U est interrompu sur une certaine longueur de manière à former un passage 7 au dos de la coulisse. Sur une partie de la longueur de la coulisse, à partir de son bec 5, la largeur moyenne du profil en U de la coulisse est sensiblement supérieure à l'épaisseur de l'aiguille 1. Aux figures 1, 5, 6 et 7 on a représenté schématiquement le profil de deux fontures opposées 9 et 10 d'une machine à tricoter rectiligne à deux fontures.Slide 2 has a U-shaped profile (Figure 4) by which it overlaps the needle 1. At the back, the runner 2 is provided with a heel 4 for its training and at the front it has a spout 5, the part of which upper is located below the level of the back of the slides so as to form a shoulder 6. On the spout 5 the sides of the slide close in a joint line 15 so as to form a surface rounding slip for the meshes. The edges of these sides are further rounded between the end of the spout 5 and the lower edges 8 of the slide. In back of shoulder 6 the U-profile is interrupted over a certain length so as to form a passage 7 at the back of the slide. On part of the length of the slide, from its beak 5, the average width of the U-profile of the slide is significantly greater than the thickness of needle 1. Figures 1, 5, 6 and 7 show schematically the profile of two opposite needle beds 9 and 10 of a straight knitting machine with two needle beds.

    A la figure 1, le bec 3 de l'aiguille 1 est fermé par le bec 6 de la coulisse, de telle sorte que le fil 11 est emprisonné dans le bec de l'aiguille. In FIG. 1, the beak 3 of the needle 1 is closed by the beak 6 of the slide, so that the wire 11 is trapped in the needle beak.

    La figure 5 représente l'aiguille à coulisse en position de préparation de report de maille. L'aiguille 1 est en position haute. En glissant sur l'aiguille le fil 12 est élevé au-dessus du bec 5 de la coulisse.FIG. 5 represents the sliding needle in mesh transfer preparation position. Needle 1 is in the high position. By sliding on the needle the wire 12 is raised above the spout 5 of the slide.

    A la figure 6, l'aiguille 1 est représentée en position abattue. La coulisse 2 est élevée et la maille 12 vient s'appuyer contre l'épaulement 6 de la coulisse. Une aiguille 1' de la fonture opposée 10, peut s'engager dans la coulisse 2 et traverser celle-ci par son passage 7 pour venir saisir une maille portée par la coulisse 2 pour son report. Dans cette position, on voit que le bec 3 de l'aiguille 1 est dans la partie en U de la coulisse. Le jeu entre l'aiguille 1 et la coulisse 2 permet à la maille ou aux mailles se trouvant dans le bec 3 de l'aiguille de s'engager dans la coulisse sans être blessées.In Figure 6, the needle 1 is shown in position shot down. The runner 2 is high and the mesh 12 comes lean against the shoulder 6 of the slide. A needle 1 'of the opposite needle bed 10, can engage in slide 2 and cross it with its passage 7 to come and grab a mesh carried by the slide 2 for its carryover. In this position, we sees that the beak 3 of the needle 1 is in the part in U from the backstage. The clearance between needle 1 and runner 2 allows the mesh or meshes to finding in needle beak 3 to engage in backstage without being injured.

    La figure 7 représente l'aiguille à coulisse dans la même position que la figure 6, mais au lieu que ce soit une aiguille opposée 1' qui s'engage dans la coulisse 2, c'est la coulisse 2' correspondante qui s'engage dans la coulisse 2. Lorsque la coulisse 2 est abattue, la maille qui se trouvait sur le bec de la coulisse 2 se trouve sur la coulisse 2'. La fonction de la coulisse 2' est ainsi ici celle d'un poinçon. La fonture 10 peut être déplacée à gauche ou à droite en vue du transfert des mailles portées par les coulisses 2' sur des aiguilles 1 de la fonture 9 ou sur des coulisses 2 de la fonture 9 à fin d'un transfert sur des aiguilles de la fonture 10. Ainsi, toutes les possibilités sont ouvertes.Figure 7 shows the sliding needle in the same position as figure 6, but instead of an opposite needle 1 'which engages in the slide 2, it is the corresponding slide 2 'which engages in slide 2. When slide 2 is down, the mesh which was on the spout of the runner 2 is on the slide 2 '. The function of the slide 2 'is thus here that of a punch. The bed 10 can be moved left or right by view of the transfer of the mesh carried by the slides 2 'on needles 1 of needle bed 9 or on backstage 2 of the needle bed 9 at the end of a transfer to needles of needle bed 10. Thus, all possibilities are open.

    Il convient de relever que la technique du trou bouché reste possible et qu'un transfert sur peigne, tel que décrit dans le brevet EP 0 362 126 est également possible avec le coulisse.It should be noted that the plugged hole technique remains possible and that a transfer on comb, such as described in patent EP 0 362 126 is also possible with the slide.
