Description

  The present invention relates to a knitting method of a knitted string-like knitted fabric that is formed by alternately repeating a plurality of string-shaped knitted fabrics in the front-rear direction.

  Conventionally, in the case of forming a knit product such as a belt with braided strings or the like, a knitted fabric is knitted using a knitting machine, and these are knitted manually.

  In the case of forming a knitted string-like knitted fabric combined with a plurality of strings, it has been necessary to knit the string-shaped knitted fabric on a knitting machine and knit a knitted product manually.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a method of knitting a knitted string on a flat knitting machine by crossing a plurality of string-like knitted fabrics.

  The present invention uses a flat knitting machine having a pair of front and back needle beds, and the front and back needle beds are configured to be relatively rackable, and repeatedly knits a plurality of string-like knitted fabrics to knit repeatedly. The knitting method of knitting a plurality of string-like knitted fabrics using at least one needle bed, supplying knitting yarns from individual yarn feeders, and adjacent to each other in the middle of knitting Each knitted fabric is locked to one needle bed, the other, a separate needle bed, and the positional relationship on the needle bed is changed by racking and transfer. The replacement of the relationship is performed with the newly adjacent string-shaped knitted fabric, and the positional relationship is repeatedly switched by racking and transfer by locking to the other needle bed.

  Further, in the present invention, when crossing the cord-like knitted fabric, the knitted fabric just before the crossing is finished knitting on the opposite side of the opposite cord-like knitted fabric, and from the opposite side after the cross of the cord-like knitted fabric It is characterized by starting to knit string-like knitted fabric.

  In the present invention, three string-shaped knitted fabrics are knitted, and after intersecting any two string-shaped knitted fabrics, one of the string-shaped knitted fabrics intersected with the remaining one string-shaped knitted fabric is intersected. In this case, the cord-like knitted fabrics that continue to cross each other cross each other alternately.

  According to the present invention, knitting of a knitted string on a flat knitting machine is possible by crossing a plurality of string-shaped knitted fabrics, and manual knitting is not required.

  Further, according to the present invention, when crossing the cord-like knitted fabric, the braided knitted fabric immediately before the intersection is finished knitting on the opposite side, and after the cross of the cord-like knitted fabric, the cord-like knitted fabric is started from the opposite side. By starting to knit the ground, it becomes possible to shorten the entangled crossing yarn and make the crossing yarn less noticeable.

  Furthermore, according to the present invention, a knitted string-like knitted fabric having a regular knitted pattern by three string-shaped knitted fabrics can be knitted.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the embodiment shown below, a flat knitting machine that extends in the left-right direction and that can be racked and has a pair of opposing needle beds is used.

FIG. 1 is an enlarged photograph of a braided knitted fabric 1 knitted by the intersection of three cord-like knitted fabrics 2 in this embodiment. The string-like knitted fabrics 2a, 2b, and 2c are cylindrical knitted fabrics that are knitted using different yarn feeders, and the three string-like knitted fabrics 2a, 2b, and 2c intersect at desired positions during knitting. Is repeated, and the braided knitted fabric 1 is knitted on a flat knitting machine.

  FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the knitting process of the braided knitted fabric 1 shown in this embodiment. The numbers on the left indicate processes, the squares indicate the positions of the string-like knitted fabrics 2a, 2b, and 2c, the triangles indicate the yarn feeders, and the enclosing numbers indicate the numbers of the yarn feeders used for knitting. Numbers of No. 4 to No. 6 yarn feeders indicate positions attached to a plurality of rails arranged in parallel to the longitudinal direction of the front and rear needle beds and arranged on the upper portion of the tooth mouth, and are 4 from the front with the front needle bed side in front. No. 5, No. 6, and the string-like knitted fabric 2a from the No. 6 yarn feeder 6, the string-like knitted fabric 2b from the No. 5 yarn feeder 5, and the string-like knitted fabric 2c No. 4 The yarn is fed from the yarn feeder 4 and knitted. The arrows schematically show the movement of the string-like knitted fabrics 2a, 2b, 2c due to the transfer. In each process, it means that each string-like knitted fabric is moved from the position where the string-like knitted fabrics 2a, 2b, 2c are arranged to the position of the next process based on the positional relationship before and after crossing the direction indicated by the arrow. ing.

  Further, as shown in detail in the description of the knitting diagram using FIG. 3, the knitting yarns from the yarn feeder to the knitted fabric intersect due to the positional relationship before and after the yarn feeder, and the transition yarns are entangled in the subsequent knitting of the knitted fabric. Also in FIG. 2 of this embodiment, the string-like knitted fabric connected to the yarn feeder on the back side as viewed from the front, in the same manner as the positional relationship before and after the yarn feeder shown in the above-mentioned document in the steps 2 and 5 shown below. 2a is an intersection passing through the front side of the string-like knitted fabric 2c connected to the front yarn feeder, and the transition yarns are entangled at the opposite ends of the two knitted fabrics in the subsequent knitting of the knitted fabric.

  In the figure, each step shows an intersection that is a change in the position of the cord-like knitted fabrics 2a, 2b, 2c, but the knitting of the cord-like knitted fabric 2 using the front and rear needle beds is shown between the respective steps (intersections). Has been done. In step 1 of FIG. 2, the string-like knitted fabric 2c knitted by feeding from the yarn feeder 4 passes through the front side of the cord-like knitted fabric 2b fed by the yarn feeder 5 and knitted. Do. Since the front-side string-like knitted fabric 2c intersects with the front side, the knitting yarn does not entangle. In step 2, the string-shaped knitted fabric 2a crosses the front side of the string-shaped knitted fabric 2c. In this case, the cross yarns are entangled in the subsequent knitting of the cord-like knitted fabrics 2a and 2c due to the crossing of the positional relationship in which the yarn feeder located at the rear passes the front side of the yarn feeder located at the front.

  In the process 3, the cross | intersection which the string-like knitted fabric B passes the front side of the string-shaped knitted fabric 2a is performed. Since the front side string-like knitted fabric B intersects with the front side, no entanglement of the knitting yarn occurs. In Step 4, as in Step 1, a cross is performed in which the cord-like knitted fabric 2c passes the front side of the cord-like knitted fabric 2b. Since the front side string-like knitted fabric 2c is crossed at the front side, the crossover yarn does not entangle.

  In step 5, as in step 2, the cross-shaped knitted fabric 2a intersects with the front side of the string-shaped knitted fabric 2c. Also in this case, due to the positional relationship of the intersecting yarn feeders, the transition yarns are entangled in the subsequent knitting of the cord-like knitted fabrics 2a and 2c. In step 6, as in step 3, the cross-shaped knitted fabric 2b crosses the front side of the string-shaped knitted fabric 2a. Because the front yarn feeder is at the front, there is no crossing of the crossover yarn. Thus, each string-like knitted fabric 2a, 2b, 2c changes its position while knitting during the intersection, and one cycle passes as shown in steps 1 to 7, and the string-like knitted fabrics 2a, 2b, 2c A regular braided knitted fabric 1 is formed. Also, in each process, for example, the string-like knitted fabric 2c crosses the front side in the process 1 alternately, passes the rear side in the process 2, passes the front side in the process 4, and passes the back side in the process 5 alternately. Furthermore, the knitted fabrics 2b and 2c on the right side in the step 1, the knitted fabrics 2a and 2c on the left side in the step 2, and the knitted fabrics 2a and 2b on the right side in the step 3 Repeated intersections.

  FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the knitting diagram in step 2 of FIG. In the figure, numerals indicate each step, F in each step indicates a front needle bed, and B indicates a rear needle bed. The lower case letters a, b, c,..., L indicate the knitting needles of the front needle bed F, the upper case letters A, B, C,. The middle triangle indicates the yarn feeder, and the number in the triangle indicates the yarn feeder number. Further, the newly formed stitches fed from the yarn feeder are indicated by black circles, the old stitches locked to the knitting needles are white circles, and the up and down arrows indicate transfer. The horizontal arrow on the right side indicates the traveling direction of the carriage. In each step, the number of knitting needles is displayed smaller than the actual number for convenience of explanation.

  The string-like knitted fabrics 2a, 2b, and 2c in FIG. 3 start by arranging yarn feeders 6, 5, and 4 at positions where knitting is started. Perform a known set-up, knitting the back knitted fabric from the left side to the right with the back needle bed, knitting the front knitted fabric from the right side to the left with the front needle bed, the knitted fabric becomes cylindrical, repeat the knitting Thus, the string-like knitted fabrics 2a, 2b, 2c are formed.

  In step 1 of FIG. 3, the rear needle bed is knitted to the right with the knitting yarns supplied from the yarn feeders 6, 5, and 4, respectively, the yarn feeder 6 is the stitch of the knitting needle D, and the yarn feeder 4 is the knitting needle H. The stitches and the yarn feeder 5 are connected to the stitches of the knitting needle L, respectively. The front and back needle beds are opposed to each other without deviation, and the transfer can be performed as it is. In step 2, the knitting yarn is supplied only from the yarn feeder 6, the string-like knitted fabric 2a is knitted with the front needle bed leftward, and the yarn feeder 6 is moved so as to be connected to the stitches of the knitting needle a. When crossing the string-shaped knitted fabric 2a and the string-shaped knitted fabric 2c, the knitting ends of the string-shaped knitted fabrics 2a, 2c are set to the knitting needle a and the knitting needle H in order to shorten the interlaced yarn. Thus, the end of the knitting is made to come to the positions on both outer sides, which are the opposite sides of the opposing string-like knitted fabrics 2a, 2c. However, the longest interval between the needles is greatly shortened by the replacement of the string-like knitted fabric 2 by the subsequent crossing, and approaches the shortest interval between the needles.

  In step 3, the stitches locked to the knitting needles a, c, e, g, i, k on the front needle bed are transferred to the knitting needles A, C, E, G, I, K on the rear needle bed, Preparation for crossing the string-like knitted fabrics 2a and 2c is performed. In Step 4, the rear needle bed is moved to the right by 4 pitches, and the stitches engaged with the knitting needles A, B, C, D on the rear needle bed are moved to the knitting needles e, f, g, h on the front needle bed. Perform the transfer. In Step 5, the rear needle bed is moved to the left by 8 pitches, and the stitches locked to the knitting needles E, F, G, H on the rear needle bed are transferred to the knitting needles a, b, c, d on the front needle bed. To do. In step 6, the rear needle bed is moved to the right by 4 pitches and returned to the reference position.

  In Step 7, the stitches locked to the knitting needles b, d, f, and h of the front needle bed are locked to the knitting needles B, D, F, and H of the rear needle bed and the knitting needles I and K of the rear needle bed. Each stitch is transferred to the knitting needles i and k on the front needle bed. The positions of the string-like knitted fabrics 2a, 2c and 2b arranged from the left in Step 1 are changed to the positions of the string-like knitted fabrics 2c, 2a and 2b. The stitches of the inner knitting needle D facing the two string-like knitted fabrics 2c, 2a and the yarn feeder 4 and the stitch of the knitting needle e and the yarn feeder 6 are connected to each other, and the transition yarn at the time of entanglement of the knitting yarn becomes the shortest. On the other hand, for example, considering the intersection of the knitted knitted fabrics 2a and 2c in the positional relationship of the knitting needle at the end of knitting in Step 1, the knitting needle D and the yarn feeder 6 and the stitch of the knitting needle H and the yarn feeder 4 are connected. After replacement of the knitted knitted fabrics 2a and 2c, the yarn between the knitting needles F and H is located between the knitting needles D and e located inside the string knitted fabrics 2c and 2a. Since the length is added, the crossing yarn to be entangled becomes longer correspondingly and protrudes outside between the cord-like knitted fabrics 2c and 2a.

Step 8 shows the knitting immediately after the intersection of the cord-like knitted fabrics 2c and 2a. Knitting needles c and a on the front needle bed are knitted in order at the yarn feeder 4, and knitting needles F and H on the rear needle bed are knitted in order at the yarn feeder 6. As a result of this knitting, the transition yarns are entangled as shown in the figure. The position of the yarn feeder 6 is moved by the knitting of the cord-like knitted fabric 2a shown in Step 2, and the crossover yarn due to the crossing can be shortened. When the knitted cord-like knitted fabric 1 is formed, the transition yarn is not visible from the outside. In this embodiment, stitches of different needle beds such as the knitting needles F and H on the rear needle bed and the knitting needles c and a on the front needle bed are knitted in Step 8, but other combinations, for example, the rear needle bed are used. The stitches of the same needle bed of the knitting needles F and H and the knitting needles D and B of the rear needle bed may be knitted. In any case, the cross yarns to be entangled can be shortened by starting the knitting immediately after the crossing from the stitches of the knitting needles inside the opposing string-like knitted fabrics 2a, 2c.

  In this embodiment, the string-like knitted fabrics 2a, 2b, 2c are knitted into a tubular shape to form a knitted string, but the string-like knitted fabrics 2a, 2b, 2c may be formed by flat knitting, Moreover, you may combine both the knitting methods. In the present embodiment, the braided string is formed by three string-like knitted fabrics, but the other two or four braided strings may be formed. As in this embodiment, the intersection of the plurality of string-like knitted fabrics 2 is regularly repeated during the knitting of the string-like knitted fabric, and when the crossover yarn is entangled, the crossover yarn is shortened so that the crossover yarn is shortened. The knitting yarn connection between the yarn feeder and the string-like knitted fabric 2 may be adjusted by knitting the stitches of the string-like knitted fabric 2.

It is an enlarged photograph of the braided string-like knitted fabric 1 formed of the three string-like knitted fabrics A, B, and C in the Example of this invention. The schematic of the knitting process of the knitted string-like knitted fabric 1 shown in the Example of this invention is shown.
