Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a piping process method for an end part of a knitted fabric, which folds back the end part of the knitted fabric to be knitted by a flatbed knitting machine and joins the end part to a midstream portion of the knitted fabric.
  • a piping process is performed for realizing a thick secured state by folding back an end part of a knitted fabric when knitting gloves, socks, openings of pants, and collars of clothes.
  • an end part of a knitted fabric is knitted with thermal contraction yarns, and then as a post-process, the end part of the knitted fabric is applied with heat after the knitting so as to be firmly fixed and form a raveling-stop portion, and then, the end part of the knitted fabric is joined to a midstream portion of the knitted fabric, which is continuous to the end part, by a blind stitch sewing machine.
  • a post-process can be omitted if a flatbed knitting machine including at least a pair of front and rear needle beds is used (for example, see, Patent Literature 1).
  • Fig. 6 schematically shows a stitch structure to which the piping process method disclosed in the Patent Literature 1 is applied.
  • knitting a base knitted fabric, including a portion to be folded-back, to a vicinity of an end part tucks 2a to base knitted stitches 1a and knit loops 2b becomes hanging stitches to a vacant needles are alternately formed. While the remaining base knitted fabric is knitted to a base knitted stitch 1b at the end part, knit stitches are further added to the knit loops 2b in some cases.
  • Knitting for forming a bind off stitch on a double overlapped stitch consisting of the base knitted stitch 1b and the knit loop 2b is performed, and then, a newly formed knitted loop is overlapped on an adjacent overlapped stitch so that a bind off loop 3 is formed.
  • a bind off process of repeating new knit operation on the state where the bind off loop 3 is overlapped on the double overlapped stitch the end part of the base knitted fabric is joined to the midstream portion of the base knitted fabric so that the piping process is achieved.
  • Patent Literature 1 Japanese Patent No. 2610208 ( EP O 569159 A2 )
  • a glove to be knitted by a flatbed knitting machine including needle beds at front and rear sides becomes a tubular knitted fabric in which plain knitted fabrics to be knitted on the front and rear needle beds are continuous at both ends of a knitting width.
  • the base knitted fabric corresponds to the plain knitted fabric, so that, if the base - knitted fabrics are connected by the bind off loops 3, the base knitted fabric warps and slight swelling is formed undesirably.
  • the bind off loops 3 are arranged at the outer side of the base knitted fabric continuously.
  • the swelling is not formed on the joining portions touching the skin directly when a person puts the grove on.
  • the present invention provides a piping process method for an end part of a knitted fabric, in which after knitting a base knitted fabric, which is knitted so as to be continuous to an end part, to a midstream portion by a flatbed knitting machine including a pair of front and rear needle beds, doing a tuck operation on a knitting needle holding a base stitch as a stitch of the base knitted fabric using a different knitting yarn form the knitting yarn used for knitting the base knitted fabric, and forming knit loops (12a, 12b) which are hanging stitches formed by a vacant needle knit to vacant needles on which hangs no stitch and belongs to the needle bed opposed to the needle bed to which the knitting needle belongs or which are knitting stitches formed by a knit operation on the hanging stitch, knitting the base knitted fabric, continuous from the midstream portion, to the end part while holding the knit loop with the knitting needle; and folding back the base knitted fabric from the midstream portion to the end part and joining the base knitted fabric to the base knitted stitches on the end part with bind off process utilizing the knit loop
  • said bind off loop is knitted by using an elastic yarn.
  • said base knitted fabric is knitted as a tubular knitted fabric by using the pair of front and rear needle beds.
  • bind off process is performed by overlapping the base knitted stitch and the bind off loop on the knit loop sequentially.
  • Cross-over of floating yarns are caused in each step and in the bind off loop joining step, at the same time of joining by the blind off loop, the cross over of the floating yarn on the knit loop makes the bind off loop to be arranged at the inner side of the base knitted fabric to be joined to the bind off loop, so that it is possible to form the bind off process part capable of preventing the base knitted fabric from curling and of suppressing swell.
  • the bind off loop is knitted by using an elastic yarn, so that the bind off processed portion can be made to have appropriate stretching properties.
  • a double overlapped stitch and a triple overlapped stitch are alternately formed with joining by overlapping the bind off loops, so that the bind off processed portion can be made thinner and it is possible to simplify preparation of vacant needles for hanging knit loops.
  • a flatbed knitting machine including a front needle bed and a rear needle bed (hereinafter, abbreviated as "FB" and “BB”, respectively) as a pair of front and rear needle beds is used for knitting of a knitted fabric.
  • the FB and the BB are equivalent, and roles may be replaced between the FB and the BB in the following explanation.
  • Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show, in a simplified manner, basic process steps to perform a bind off process by a piping process method for an end part of a knitted fabric as an example of the present invention. Knitting operation preceding the bind off process can be performed in the same manner as that is performed preceding the bind off process shown in Fig. 6 .
  • Upper side of the S1 process shows a state where a base knitted fabric 11 as a knitted fabric, on which piping process is to be performed, is knitted to an end part, base knitted stitches 11x 11a, 11b on the end part are hung by knitting needles of the BB, and a bind off loop 13 is formed by a knit operation on the base knitted stitch 11x.
  • the base knitted fabric 11 is folded back at a halfway point from the midstream portion to the end part and the base knitted folded-back portion is bonded to the base knitted stitches 11x, 11a, 11b of the end part are joined by the bind off process using the knit loops 12a, 12b.
  • the knit loops 12a, 12b may be replaced by knitted stitches by adding knit operation. The addition of the knit operation is effective for yarn break or the like when number of knitting courses of the base knitted fabric 11 to be folded back is large.
  • the start of the bind off process is done when a knitted loop corresponding to the new bind off loop 13 is formed on the base knitted stitch 11x at a knitting end on the end part, which is hung on the BB.
  • a hanging stitch 13b is desirably formed with movement of a carrier 13a which supplies knitting yarns for the bind off loop before the new bind off loop 13 is formed.
  • the knitting yarn for forming the bind off loop 13 can be made hard to be returned and to be reduced. It is sufficient that the hanging stitch 13b might be cast off later.
  • the bind off loop 13 formed so as to correspond to a base knitted stitch 11x which is one of stitches of the end part, is transferred to a vacant needle of the FB which is opposed to the base knitted stitches 11x, 11a, 11b of the end part and to which the knitting needles hanging the knit loops 12a, 12b belong.
  • the bind off loop 13 is hung in a state where a floating yarn 13c crosses over a floating yarn 12c of the knit loop 12a at the upper side.
  • Such S1 process corresponds to the bind off loop hanging step in the bind off process according to the present invention.
  • the base knitted stitch 11 a which is adjacent to the base knitted stitch 11x and is to be joined to the bind off loop 13 among the base knitted stitches 11x, 11a, 11b of the end part is transferred to the FB hanging the transferred bind off loop 13.
  • the base knitted stitch 11a is hung in a state where a floating yarn 11c crosses over the floating yarn 12c of the knit loop 12a at the upper side.
  • the S2 process corresponds to the base knitted stitch hanging step in the bind off process according to the present invention.
  • the base knitted stitch 11a may be transferred to the knitting needle hanging the bind off loop 13 transferred in the S1 process.
  • the knitting needle is a compound needle capable of holding operation using a slider
  • the base knitted stitch 11 a can be hung with the slider while hanging the bind off 13 with a hook of the same knitting needle.
  • the knit loop 12a to be joined to the bind off loop 13 is transferred to a vacant needle of the opposed the BB.
  • the knit loop 12a is hung in a state where the floating yarn 12c further crosses over the floating yarn 13c of the bind off loop 13 transferred in the bind off loop hanging step at the upper side.
  • the S3 process corresponds to a knit loop hanging step in the bind off process according to the present invention.
  • the base knitted stitch 11 a hung in the base stitch hanging step and the bind off loop 13 hung in the bind off loop hanging step are transferred to the knitting needle hanging the knit loop 12a transferred in the knit loop hanging step from the FB to the BB so as to be overlapped on the knit loop 12a sequentially, then a triple overlapped stitch 15 by the knit loop 12a, the base knitted stitch 11a, and the bind off loop 13 is formed.
  • the base knitted stitch 11x on the end part on which the bind off loop 13 has been formed in the bind off loop hanging step is joined to the base knitted stitch 11a of the end part, which has been transferred in the base knitted stitch hanging step, through the bind off loop 13, and is joined to the knit loop 12a, so that the end part of the base knitted fabric 11 is joined to the midstream portion.
  • Such S4 process corresponds to a bind off loop joining step in the bind off process according to the present invention.
  • the piping process for the end part of the knitted fabric according to the present invention can be achieved by repeating the bind off process including the processes of S1 to S4. In each process, cross over of the floating yarns 11c, 12c, and 13c are caused.
  • the bind off loop 13 is arranged at the inner side of the continuous base knitted fabric 11 with the cross over of the floating yarn to the knit loop 12a in addition to the joining through the bind off stitch loop 13, so that curling of the base knitted fabric 11 is prevented and swelling is suppressed.
  • elastic yarns can be preferably supplied as knitting yarns from the carrier 13a which supplies the knitting yarns for knitting the bind off loop 13.
  • the bind off loop 13 is knitted by using the elastic yarns so that the bind off stitch processed portion can be made to have appropriate stretching properties.
  • Fig. 3 shows a piping process method for an end part of a knitted fabric as another example of the present invention.
  • the processes in S1 to S4 are common to the example shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 , so that description thereof is omitted.
  • a new bind off loop 13d is formed on the triple overlapped stitch 15.
  • a hanging stitch 13e is preferably formed preceding to the bind off loop 13d.
  • the bind off loop 13d is once transferred to the FB and the BB is shifted to the right side, then the bind off loop 13d is transferred from the FB to the BB and is overlapped on the base knitted stitch 11b to form a double overlapped stitch.
  • a new bind off loop 13f is formed on the double overlapped stitch 16.
  • a hanging stitch 13g is preferably formed preceding the bind off loop 13f. If a base knitted stitch 11d adjacent to the base knitted stitch 11b is made to correspond to the base knitted stitch 11 a in Fig.
  • the S7 process corresponds to the process S1 in Fig. 1 , thereafter, if the process to the S7 are repeated, a thin bind off processed portion 20, on which the triple overlapped stitch 15 and the double overlapped stitch 16 are alternately formed repeatedly, can be obtained.
  • the double overlapped stitch 16 does not include knit loop 12b so that it is not necessary to prepare a vacant needle for transferring the knit loop 12b and the bind off process can be simplified.
  • Fig. 4 schematically shows a stitch structure which is basically the same as the bind off processed portion 20 to be formed by the piping process method in Figs. 1 to 3 .
  • the hanging stitches 13e, 13g, as shown in Fig.3 , to be formed before forming of the bind off loops 13d, 13f are omitted to show.
  • the triple overlapped stitch 15 and the double overlapped stitch 16 are alternately formed, so that the bind off processed portion 20 can be made thinner and a knitting needle for hanging the knit loop 12b can be unnecessary.
  • overlapping manner may be reversed. In such a case, it is sufficient that the base knitted stitch 11b is overlapped after the base knitted stitch 11b is once retreated and the bind off loop 13d is transferred.
  • the bind off loop 13f exits to the outer side with respect to the respective knitted loops of the base knitted stitches 11b, 11d and is pressed by the knit loop 12b so as to be arranged at the inner side.
  • the surface side of a paper plane corresponds to the inner side of the knitted fabric and the back surface thereof corresponds to the outer side of the knitted fabric.
  • Fig. 5 shows a piping process method for an end part of a knitted fabric, which is applied to a tubular knitted fabric, as still another example of the present invention.
  • a T1 process a state where base knitted stitches 11F, 11B of an end part are hung on the FB and the BB, respectively, and knit loops 12F, 12B formed with knitting yarns tucked on the midstream portion of the base knitted fabric 11 are hung on the FB and the BB, respectively, is shown.
  • the knit loop 12B is transferred to and hang on a vacant needle of the FB from the BB side, for example.
  • a vacant needle is generated between the knitting needle hanging the base knitted stitch 11F and the knitting needle hanging the knit loops 12B on a right end of the FB. If a bind off loop is newly formed on the base knitted stitch 11 B on the right end and the vacant needle of the FB is used therefore, the bind off process which is the same as that in other examples can be performed. In a T3 process, the base knitted stitch 11B is moved to the right side by holding operation.
  • the bind off process on the FB is performed.
  • the knit loop 12B is moved to the opposed needle bed, and to knit the base knitted stitch 11F of the FB, the knit loop 12F is moved to the opposed needle bed.
  • the piping process for the end part of the knitted fabric can be performed while the present invention is applied to not only the gloves but also socks and pants having similar openings and sweaters having necks.
  • an effect that swelling of a joining portion by the bind off process can be reduced is obtained in the same manner on even rib structure other than the flat knitted fabric (plain knitted fabric).
