Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a process for making a knitted fabric and a product obtained with this process.
- Is is known that the production of fabric differs according to the type of interlacements which may be obtained either with straight threads in a process of interlacing the threads of the warp together with the threads of the weft which are perpendicularly arranged to each other, so obtaining a weave or, otherwise, with a curvilinear thread by interlacing a thread by itself, so as to make a knitting weave.
- In a knitting weave a sole thread or yarn is used which extends longitudinally and curvilinearly, so as to produce loops which form a line of simple stitches linked to the stitches of the previous line and, which will be linked to the stitches of the following line.
- In the specific field, the loops are called stitches, the lines of stitches are called rows and the interlacement represents the passing over phase whereby, in the following, this specific terminology will be used.
- The knitting manufacturing is made by using knitting machines or looms in which a support, called a needle bar, houses several needles placed side by side and parallel to each other, in order to pass over the stitches of the new row with the stitches of the previous row. The number of needles is, obviously, equal to the number of the stitches per row. In order to make the passing over phase, the needles are operated by a slidable carriage carrying a cam element which by pressing onto the end of the needles, generates a forward and a backward movement of the needles.
- By using these machines, it is also possible to generate a decrease or an increase of the fabric, namely it is possible to obtain shaped fabrics. For example, it is is possile to widen a fabric (called "increase") by inserting other needles which are placed side by side to those placed at the ends; similarly, it is possible to reduce the fabric (called "decrease") by removing the needles which are placed at the ends.
- In order to make stockings or the upper part of a shoe, it is necessary to build the different parts or shapes of the stocking or footwear and, then, to join them together by sewing.
- Each part may be obtained starting from a rectangular fabric and cutting from it the component parts of the stocking or footwear, thus producing scraps; or, they may be directly obtained by using the increase and decrease technique, thus avoiding wastage.
- In any case, the flat parts so obtained have to be sewed to one another, along different joining lines.
- Subsequently, in order that the stocking or footwear perfectly takes the three-dimensional shape, it is necessary to carry out an operation of stretching which makes it possible to obtain in a definitive and uniform way a boot-like shape.
- It is evident that all the above described operations, with particular reference to the decreases and increases, sewing and stretching operations, are long and expensive, above all if we think that such operations have to be carried out many times, and for each of the component part of the stocking or footwear.
- The aim of the invention is, therefore, to devise a process in order to obtain a knitted fabric which eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.
- In particular the aim is to obtain a fabric in one piece from which it is possible to directly make the stocking or footwear, namely a fabric which has the necessary geometrical characteristics so that, once it has been folded, it directly forms the stocking or footwear.
- The aim is reached by a process for making a knitted fabric comprising the phases of:
- a) preparing at least a first thread which forms a first row of stitches arranged along a line placed between a left side edge and a right side edge;
- b) passing over said at least a first thread with said stitches starting from said left side edge until said right side edge, thus forming a second row of stitches;
- c) passing over said at least a first thread with said second row of stitches starting from said right side edge until said left side edge, thus forming a third row of simple stitches;
- d) repeating the operation of phases b) and c) until to obtain a last row of stitches;
characterized in that it comprises the other following phases: - e) preparing at least two threads, a second thread which passes over the stitches of the last row placed between said left side edge and a first central edge placed in the middle of said last row or near said middle on the side of said left side edge, thus defining a left row of stitches and a third thread which passes over the stitches of the last row placed between said right side edge and a second central edge placed in the middle of said last row or near said middle on the side of said right side edge, thus defining a right row of stitches, the passing over operation of the same rank of left row and right row is carried out at the same time and, moreover, while proceeding with the rows of the subsequent rank, said first central edge is gradually moved towards the left side edge, thus reducing the number of stitches of the left row until the number of stitches becomes zero or almost zero, and said second central edge is gradually moved towards the right side edge, thus reducing the number of stitches of the right row until the number of stitches becomes zero or almost zero, thus obtaining a fabric with a "V" shape wherein the two "V" sides are formed by said first and second central edge;
- f) repeating the passing over phases a) and b), by passing over, with a sole row, the stitches of the two "V" sides with said first thread, so that in this way the fabric surplus produced by said second and third thread respectively forms a left wave in the left part and a right wave in the right part.
-
- By this process, it is therefore possible to produce a one-piece fabric which has suitably shaped side edges (by increasing or decreasing the fabric) and, at the area corresponding to the instep of the foot and starting from the middle towards the two opposite side edges, it has an amount of fabric in excess, which is more in excess as the distance from the middle increases, so as to form two waves. In such way, the stocking or footwear is directly obtained by wrapping the fabric in a boot-like manner and carrying out a simple sewing in order to join the two side edges.
- In this way, the cutting and sewing operations for each different parts of the stocking or footwear are avoided, and also the subsequent stretching operation.
- In particular, during the passing over phase of the left and right row, a pulling force is applied to the fabric already obtained, so as to constantly maintain it in tension.
- In such a way the fabric, so obtained, can be made into a stocking or a footwear which is form-fitting to the foot or the leg of a person.
- These and other advantages of the present invention will be more evident by the following detailed description given for an exemplifying and not limiting purpose with reference to the following drawings, wherein:
- figure 1 is a top view of the fabric obtained by the process of the present invention;
- figures 2, 3, 4 and 5 are top views of the fabric represented in subsequent phases of manufacturing.
- In figure 1, there is illustrated a
fabric 10 in order to obtain a stocking or a footwear with the process of the present invention. Figures 2 to 5, illustrate the various phases of the process in order to produce thefabric 10, starting from the top of the stocking or the upper part of the footwear. - At the beginning, the knitting weaving is carried out in the usual manner, namely a
first thread 11 creates a first row of stitches and subsequently, with a second run, a second row of stitches are formed which are passed over with the stitches of the first row and so on, until arriving at thelast row 12 of stitches near the part corresponding to the instep of the foot. Therefore, the fabric represented in figure 2 is so obtained, wherein decreases and increases operations have been made, so that the boot-leg, which is defined by aleft side edge 14 and aright side edge 16, may fit to the lower part of the leg. - At this point, the
first thread 11 is stopped and asecond thread 13a and athird thread 13b are prepared in order to start again the knitting, which now occurs by dividing thelast row 12 of stitches in two parts: aleft row 20 placed between theleft side edge 14 and a firstcentral edge 15 placed near the middle on the side of theleft side edge 14 and aright row 22 placed between theright side edge 16 and a secondcentral edge 17 placed near the middle on the side of theright side edge 17. - Obviously, since the two rows are independent to each other, it is necessary to have at least two threads: the
second thread 13a in order to form theleft rows 20 and thethird thread 13b in order to form theright rows 22. - The operation of carrying out the
left rows 20 and theright rows 22 occurs simultaneously, therefore, as for example, the stitches of the left row of the third rank are passed over at the same time as the stitches of the right row of the third rank are also passed over. - As the
left rows 20 and theright rows 22 are executed, the firstcentral edge 15 is gradually moved to the left side, so as to reduce the number of stitches per row; similarly, the secondcentral edge 17 is gradually moved to the right side, so as to reduce the number of stitches per row. - During this phase, the stitches of the row just formed are pressed downwards by means of a suitable device that is a presser bar which produces a pressure onto the stitches in order to hold the row of stitches just formed in the correct position. At the same time, upon the fabric already formed, a pulling force is applied which is uniformly distributed along its entire length by means a device, i.e. a tension bar, so as to maintain the fabric constantly in tension.
- As the process is going on, since the central edges are moved towards the ends, an increasing number of stitches not passed over are formed.
- While continuing with the knitting, at a certain moment the number of stitches per row becomes zero or almost zero, thus obtaining a fabric which forms, if it should be laid down on a plane, a "V", as represented in figure 3, wherein the two "V" sides are made by the first and the second
central edges - In practice, since the stitches are blocked by the straight needle bar of the machine, the fabric in progress is arranged as shown in figure 4, wherein the stitches of the two "V" sides, that is the first 15 and the second 17 central edge define the last row of stitches arranged in a straight line which is identified in figure with
reference 24. - Therefore, the fabric has, on the left side and on the right side, a material in excess to form a
left wave 18 and aright wave 19. - Finally, the stitches of the
last row 24 are passed over with a sole thread and, precisely, with the first thread 11 (starting from the situation represented in figure 4) which starts again and, as previously described, forms subsequent rows of stitches. Thefabric 10 depicted in figure 5 is so obtained. - When the knitting operation is ended, it is sufficient to put the
left side edge 14 in contact with theright side edge 16 and joining them by sewing, thus obtaining a stocking or a footwear with a perfect and uniform shape. - The
first thread 11, thesecond thread 13a and thethird thread 13b are preferably elastic threads which may be either of natural material like latex, or synthetic material like lycra. - As shown in figure 3, at the same time the
left rows 20 and theright rows 22 are carried out, an increase also occurs, and therefore new needles are added to theleft row 20, the left stitches increase and then theleft side edge 14 moves towards the left; similarly, new needles are added to theright row 22, the right stitches increase and then theright side edge 16 moves towards the right. - The increase during the carrying out of the
left row 20 and theright row 22 is necessary in order to obtain the part of the fabric which covers the heel; in fact, the central part of the fabric covers the instep of the foot, whereas the two side parts, once they are joined together, have to cover the opposite part to the instep of the foot, that is the heel. - Obviously, all the functionally or conceptually equivalent changes or modifications fall inside the protection field of the present invention.
- For example, it is possible to repeat the passing over phases by means of left rows and right rows independent to each other, interspersed with passing over phases along a sole row, so as to follow the shape of the foot instep in a better way.
- Obviously, the described process may be used in order to manufature other clothing articles, and not exclusively stockings or footwear In general, this process may involve all those articles which cover parts of the body which have angular shapes, as for example orthopaedic and medical-sanitary articles which cover different parts of the body, such as elbows and shoulders.
- Furthermore, instead to use a
sole thread 13a in order to form the left rows and asole thread 13b in order to form the right rows, a greater number of threads can be used, so as to increase the productivity or, otherwise, the design when, for example, different colours of threads are used. - In the same way, instead of using a
sole thread 11 in order to form the initial or the final part of the fabric, a greater number of threads can be used. - The process is carried out conveniently using a knitting machine and, in particular, a machine with a straight needle bar.
- The protection field of the invention extends also to the use of any machine in order to carry out the above process, as well as the fabric obtained by carrying out the process of the present invention.
