Definitions
- the present invention relates to a weft knitting machine provided with a movable yarn guide that moves forward and backward together with a knitting needle with respect to a needle bed gap and that guides a knitting yarn to a hook of the knitting needle.
- a knitting yarn is fed from above the needle bed gap to the hooks of the knitting needles, and thus a fabric is knitted.
- a knitting yarn is fed from a yarn feeding port of a yarn feeding member such as a yarn feeder in the vicinity of the center portion of the needle bed gap, in a state where a hook of a knitting needle has been moved forward to a far position in the needle bed gap.
- the hook of the knitting needle that has been moved forward to the needle bed gap catches a knitting yarn when the knitting needle is moved backward from the needle bed gap and pulled into the needle bed.
- the knitting needles form knitted loops by pulling a knitting yarn into the needle bed along needle grooves that are provided on the needle bed.
- the knitting loops are composed of needle loops that are formed by the hooks of the knitting needles pulling the knitting yarn into the needle bed and sinker loops that are formed by sinkers positioned between the adjacent knitting needles and facing the needle bed gap.
- the size of formed knitted loops is determined by stitch density to which is related pulling the hooks of the knitting needles into the needle bed. At the time of stitch determination, the position of the sinkers facing the needle bed gap serves as a reference.
- a movable yarn guide member whose front end can move forward to the vicinity of the center of the needle bed gap over the front end of the sinker is used in order to reliably guide a knitting yarn to the hook.
- the movable yarn guide member moves backward from the needle bed gap to avoid interference with the yarn feeding port.
- the movable yarn guide member moves forward to the needle bed gap and guides the knitting yarn to the hook.
- a sinker is also a movable sinker that is swingingly displaced about a supporting point provided closer to the front end of the needle bed, and the front end portion that is swingingly displaced also has an action of pressing the fabric downward in the needle bed gap.
- a compound needle is used in which a needle main body and a slider are separated, and a hook provided at the front end of the needle main body is opened and closed with the slider.
- the needle main body and the slider are independently driven, and the slider remains in the vicinity of the front end of the needle bed during a period in which the hook of the needle main body has moved forward to the needle bed gap.
- the slider when the needle main body has moved forward to the needle bed gap, it is necessary for the slider to move forward to the vicinity of the needle bed gap such that the knocked-over previous loop can easily escape to the needle bed gap.
- the knitting yarn may be not hooked on the hook.
- the movable yarn guide such as the movable guide member also has an action of preventing a knitting yarn from being caught by the slider.
- the needle beds are opposed to each other so that the needle bed gap is interposed therebetween.
- the reason for this is to make it possible to knit a fabric in so-called rib knitting or rib stitch using knitting needles of both needle beds, by knitting face stitches and back stitches of stitches with the knitting needles of the respective needle beds, and to knit various fabric patterns also using stitch transferring.
- tubular fabrics have been also knitted using both needle beds.
- JP-B2 7-96740 a weft knitting machine also has been developed in which two upper and lower needle beds are respectively provided on both sides that are opposed to each other so that a needle bed gap is interposed therebetween, that is, four needle beds in total are used, in order to knit a tubular fabric with various fabric patterns.
- JP-B2 7-96740 a common movable sinker for double-stage needle beds is used, and a movable yarn guide is not used.
- fancy yarns In a weft knitting machine, as a knitting yarn, it is also required to use various fancy yarns called, for example, fancy twisted yarns.
- the fancy twisted yarns include knot yarns in which knots are formed at intervals and loop yarns in which loops made of a wound yarn are continuously wound around a core yarn.
- Interlaced yarns are also used that are produced by interlacing yarns through an air-jet. These yarns occupy a larger space than ordinary twisted knitting yarns. Thus, when a part of these yarns is hooked on a hook and pulled into a needle bed, these yarns are easily caught by a slider or the like in the vicinity of a stitch determination position.
- knitting is performed simultaneously using a plurality of knitting yarns
- examples thereof include plating stitch that uses two knitting yarns and multiple yarn stitch that uses a larger number of thin knitting yarns.
- this sort of knitting yarn is used, as a sinker, a fixed sinker having a recess is used such that the position of a knitting yarn is stable at the time of stitch determination.
- the recess allows the slider to easily project or move closer to the needle bed gap, and thus a knitting yarn is more easily caught by the slider.
- the movable yarn guide member as described in JP-B2 3333304 is formed so as not to interfere with a path through which a knitting yarn is pulled, in order not to block the hook pulling the knitting yarn even when the movable yarn guide member moves forward to the needle bed gap.
- the movable yarn guide member hardly contributes to preventing a knitting yarn from being caught by the slider.
- a configuration is also conceivable in which the front end of the movable yarn guide member is extended so as to interfere with the path through which the knitting yarn is pulled, in order to separate the knitting yarn and the front end of the slider as much as possible not only when the slider projects from the recess of the fixed sinker to the needle bed gap but also when the slider does not project.
- the invention is directed to a weft knitting machine with a movable yarn guide in which a knitting needle is a compound needle comprising a needle main body and a slider, the needle main body is moved forward and backward with respect to a needle bed gap, a hook at a front end of the needle main body receives a knitting yarn fed from a yarn feeding port, a sinker for forming a sinker loop when forming a knitted loop by pulling the hook into a needle bed is provided on the needle bed gap side on the needle bed, and the movable yarn guide moves forward and backward together with the knitting needle with respect to the needle bed gap to guide a knitting yarn to the hook, the weft knitting machine comprising:
- a portion facing the needle bed gap and forming the sinker loop is in a shape of a plate
- the movable yarn guide moves forward and backward with respect to the needle bed gap while at least a part of the movable yarn guide slides along the sinker, and in the portion where the movable yarn guide and the sinker slide along each other, a concavity in which the sinker and the movable yarn guide are fitted to each other is formed such that its total thickness is the same as a thickness of the plate-like sinker.
- the drive means makes an amount of the forward movement of the movable yarn guide to the needle bed gap smaller than that in the vicinity of a position where the knitting yarn is received by the hook.
- the weft knitting machine is a four-bed weft knitting machine in which two pairs of upper and lower needle beds are provided so as to be opposed to each other in a state where the needle bed gap is interposed therebetween.
- Figs. 1A to 1D are side views showing the operation of a movable yarn guide 1, in a weft knitting machine 2 with a movable yarn guide 1 according to one embodiment of the invention.
- the weft knitting machine 2 is a four-bed weft knitting machine in which two pairs of upper and lower needle beds 3 and 4 are provided so as to be opposed to each other in a state where a needle bed gap 5 is interposed therebetween.
- the two pairs of needle beds 3 and 4 are symmetrically arranged on a front side and a back side with respect to a virtual center plane 5a in the needle bed gap 5 extending in a vertical direction.
- a side on which the front pair of the needle beds 3 and 4 is arranged is taken as a front side.
- Each of the needle beds 3 and 4 is shown in a simplified manner.
- a movable yarn guide 1 is provided on the upper needle bed 3.
- a fixed sinker 6 is supported on the lower needle bed 4.
- the sinker 6 is provided with a recess 6a used for precisely performing stitch determination for knitting yarns in multiple yarn stitch or the like.
- knitting needles 7 and 8 that are compound needles are respectively arranged so as to be movable forward and backward with respect to the needle bed gap 5.
- the knitting needles 7 and 8 respectively include needle main bodies 7a and 8a and sliders 7b and 8b.
- the front ends of the needle main bodies 7a and 8a are respectively provided with hooks 7c and 8c.
- the front ends of the sliders 7b and 8b are respectively provided with tongues 7d and 8d that open and close the hooks 7c and 8c.
- Each of the needle beds 3 and 4 is disposed such that a longitudinal direction thereof is perpendicular to the sheet of the drawing.
- a large number of needle grooves are formed in the longitudinal direction on the needle beds 3 and 4, and the knitting needles 7 and 8 are respectively accommodated in the needle grooves.
- Carriage travel back and forth in the longitudinal direction on the needle beds 3 and 4, and cam mechanisms mounted on the carriages drive the knitting needles 7 and 8 and the movable yarn guide 1 forward and backward with respect to the needle bed gap 5.
- the knitting needles 7 and 8 are simultaneously driven from the upper and lower needle beds 3 and 4, the upper and lower knitting needles 7 and 8 mechanically interfere with each other, and thus either one of the knitting needles 7 and 8 is selectively driven.
- a front edge of the upper and lower needle beds 3 and 4 facing the needle bed gap 5 is substantially formed by a wire material 9 such as a piano wire passing through in the longitudinal direction.
- Fig. 1A shows a state in which the knitting needle 8 has moved forward from the lower needle bed 4 to a knit position, for example.
- the hook 8c of the needle main body 8a moves forward to a farther position in the needle bed gap 5 than the position where a knitting yarn is fed from a yarn feeding port 10a of a yarn feeder 10 in the vicinity of the center plane 5a in the needle bed gap 5.
- the yarn feeder 10 is brought by the carriage.
- the cam mechanism drives the knitting needle 7, 8 such that after the hook 7c, 8c of the needle main body 7a, 8a has moved forward to the farthest position in the needle bed gap 5, the hook 7c, 8c relatively passes through the position where receiving a knitting yarn fed from the yarn feeding port 10a of the yarn feeder 10.
- the tongue 8d of the slider 8b moves forward to the needle bed gap 5 to the vicinity of the recess 6a of the sinker 6.
- a guide portion 1a at the front end of the movable yarn guide 1 is longer than the movable yarn guide member in JP-B2 3333304 in the lower direction, and thus the guide portion 1a can cover the tongue 8d. It is possible to move the guide portion 1a at the front end of the movable yarn guide 1 forward to the needle bed gap 5 over a front edge 6b of the sinker 6, thereby preventing a knitting yarn from being caught by the tongue 8d of the slider 8b. Not moving the guide portion 1a of the movable yarn guide 1 forward to the needle bed gap 5 does not cause any problem.
- the guide portion 1a forward within a range in which the guide portion 1a does not interfere with the yarn feeding port 10a, in order to prevent a yarn from being caught even when the yarn swings as in the case of a fancy twisted yarn or the like.
- Fig. 1B shows a state in which the cam mechanism of the carriage is about to pull the needle main body 8a into the needle bed 4.
- the movement range of the hook 8c includes a feeding height at which a yarn can be fed, that is, a knitting yarn 10b is fed from the yarn feeding port 10a of the yarn feeder 10 shown in Fig. 1A .
- the knitting yarn 10b has not been pulled yet, and can be pulled from this state. It is possible to catch the knitting yarn 10b at the hook 7c, by pulling the needle main body 8a into the needle bed 4.
- the movable yarn guide 1 moves forward to the farthest position in the needle bed gap 5 and guides the knitting yarn 10b in such a manner that the guide portion 1a pushes the knitting yarn 10b into the hook 8c, the hook 8c can reliably catch the knitting yarn 10b. Furthermore, since the portion of the guide portion 1a extending downward covers the front end of the tongue 8d of the slider 8b, the knitting yarn 10b is kept away from the tongue 8d, and thus the knitting yarn 10b can be prevented from being caught by the tongue 8d.
- Fig. 1C shows a state in which the needle main body 8a is pulled into the needle bed 4, and the hook 8c is closed by the tongue 8d of the slider 8b.
- knock-over is performed in which the knitting needle 8 is further pulled into the needle bed 4 to cause the previous loop to surmount a new loop inside the closed hook 8c and escape to the needle bed gap 5.
- the movable yarn guide 1 has moved forward to the needle bed gap 5 to the position where the hook 8c is closed by the tongue 8d, and thus a knitting yarn can be continuously prevented from being caught.
- Fig. 1D shows a state in which the knitting needle 8 has been pulled into the needle bed 4 and stitch determination is performed.
- the guide portion 1a of the movable yarn guide 1 moves backward to a stitch determination position that is matched to the front edge 6b of the sinker 6, and a new knitted loop is formed between the hook 8c, and the front edge 6b of the sinker 6 and the guide portion 1a of the movable yarn guide 1.
- Fig. 2 shows the outline of the cam mechanism, which is drive means for driving the operation of the movable yarn guide 1 and the knitting needle 8 as illustrated in Figs. 1A to 1D .

- a concavity in which they are fitted to each other are formed.
- the sinker can mechanically support the movable yarn guide, and guide the back-and-forth movement of the movable yarn guide with respect to the needle bed gap.
- the drive means does not allow the movable yarn guide to move forward to the needle bed gap, or makes the amount of the forward movement smaller than that in the vicinity of the position where the knitting yarn is received by the hook.
- the front end of the movable yarn guide can cover the front end of the slider.
- a four-bed weft knitting machine is used in which two upper and lower needle beds are respectively provided with sliders. Even when the slider projects to the vicinity of the needle bed gap, the movable yarn guide can prevent a knitting yarn from being caught, and thus a fabric with no damage can be knitted.
