Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a joining method of knitting fabric without any damage to knitting yarns such as yarn breakage when pieces of knitting fabric in the state of being disposed from side to side are to be joined by casting-off technique.SOLUTION: A flat-knitting machine which has at least a pair of front and rear needle beds and enables stitch transfer is used to provide a superposed stitch by transferring a stitch of a second piece of knitting fabric to the side of a first piece of knitting fabric which is adjacent to the second piece of knitting fabric in the lateral direction. Then, a cast-off processing is performed to provide a new stitch on the superposed stitch to reduce the number of stitches engaging with a knitting needle. A so-called return stitching is performed to the remaining second piece of knitting fabric by using a second yarn feeding port to gradually reduce the width of knitting. While repeating the formation of a new stitch, the first piece of knitting fabric and the second piece of knitting fabric are joined to each other by using a cast-off knitting technique.

Description

  The present invention relates to a knitted fabric joining method in which a flat knitting machine is used to knitting a first knitted fabric and a second knitted fabric side by side and the stitches sandwiching the boundary between the two knitted fabrics are joined together by a bind off process.

  When knitting the V-neck vest with a flat knitting machine without sewing, the body is knitted from the hem to the cylinder with a single yarn feeder, and a plurality of yarn feeders are added to form openings in the armhole and V-neck. The stitches at the ends of the front and rear bodies are joined at the left and right shoulder portions. With regard to the joint of the shoulders, it has been shown that the stitches arranged opposite to the front and rear bodies are bound. (See Patent Document 1)

  FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the front opening V-neck vest 1. The vest shown in this figure is open at the center of the front body, but the knitting method is a knitting method in which the V-neck vest wraps around the front and back bodies and folds it into a C shape. After knitting back to the left and right front and back bodies and attaching the shoulders to each other, the end stitches of the front and back bodies are joined to the shoulders and the bind-off process to prevent the wrinkles is completed.

  Further, as a knitting method of the front opening V-neck vest 1, there is a method of knitting the front body and the back body in a horizontal row. FIG. 4 is a knitting schematic diagram of a front opening V-neck vest for knitting the front and rear bodies arranged side by side. The shoulders are joined in a state where the stitches to be joined do not face each other at the front and back needle beds, but are adjacent to the left and right.

  In the knitting method, so-called turn-back knitting is performed so that the knitting width is sequentially reduced with respect to the front body and the back body in order to provide a shoulder drop, and the right front body 3R of the front body 3 shown in FIG. The turn-back portion 4R and the left front body 3L are provided with a left front turn-back portion 4L to form a front shoulder drop, and the back body 2 is formed with a right back turn-up portion 5R and a left back turn-up portion 5L to provide a back shoulder drop. . After the knitting of the front and rear bodies is finished, the right front shoulder joint 6RF and the right rear shoulder joint 6RB, the left front shoulder joint 6LF, and the left rear shoulder joint 6LB, which are the shoulder joints 6 of the left and right shoulders, are used. Join the front and back bodies. In other words, the stitches are sequentially processed from the stitches close to the boundary between the stitches in the form as indicated by the arrows in the figure.

  Along with the bind-off process, transfer is required when forming double stitches for bind-off process. The formed double stitches are sequentially paid from the knitting needles by forming new stitches as a bind off process. The remaining stitches are repeatedly transferred so as to approach the stitches that become the double stitches until the stitches themselves are turned down. In the figure, the stitches positioned on the outer side which is the upper side of the right front body turnover portion 4R and the left front body turnover portion 4L are separated from each other for the bind off processing, and require a large number of transfer operations.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-91254

  When joining the knitted fabrics arranged in the left and right directions on the needle bed by the bind-off process, the stitches with a slow bind-off process order must be repeatedly transferred to the bind-off, and yarn breakage may occur. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for joining a knitted fabric that does not cause knitting yarn damage such as yarn breakage when joining knitted fabrics arranged side by side on the same needle bed by bind-off processing. Objective.

  The present invention uses a flat knitting machine having at least a pair of front and rear needle beds and capable of transferring, and a first knitted fabric formed using a first yarn feeder and a joint formed using a second yarn feeder. In the joining method of the knitted fabric, the second knitted fabric that moves the knitted fabric is knitted side by side, and the stitches are joined sequentially by the bind off processing from the stitches close to the boundary across the boundary of both knitted fabrics, The stitches of the second knitted fabric are moved to the first knitted fabric side to provide double stitches, a bind off process is performed to form new stitches on the double stitches, the stitches locked to the knitting needles are reduced, and the remaining second stitches The first knitted fabric and the second knitted fabric are joined by bind-off processing while repeatedly forming a new stitch by turn-up knitting using the second yarn feeder on the ground.

  In the present invention, the new stitch formed in the double stitch and the new stitch by the turn back knitting using the second yarn feeder are formed using the same yarn feeder, and the yarn feeder is formed after the turn knitting. It is characterized by approaching one knitted fabric.

  According to the present invention, by forming a new stitch by turn back knitting during the bind off process for the stitch of the second knitted fabric, the number of transfers to the same stitch is reduced, and the transfer during the bind off process is performed. It is possible to avoid knitting yarn damage such as causing yarn breakage.

  Furthermore, according to the present invention, the position of the yarn feeder after the turn back knitting is formed with respect to the formation of the new stitch by the bind off processing and the formation of the new stitch by the turn back knitting where the yarn feeder approaches the first knitted fabric after knitting. As the knitting proceeds close to the target stitch, the knitting proceeds efficiently, and by using the same yarn feeder, the number of yarn feeders is reduced and the yarn end of the knitting yarn is also reduced.

FIG. 1 is a knitting diagram for joining the shoulder joint 6 of the right shoulder, which is an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a knitting diagram for joining the shoulder joint 6 of the right shoulder following FIG. FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the front opening V-neck vest 1. FIG. 4 is a knitting schematic diagram of a front-opening V-neck vest that performs knitting of front and rear bodies arranged side by side.

  Hereinafter, in the embodiment of the present invention, the knitting of the shoulder joint portion 6 of the right shoulder in the front opening V-neck vest for knitting the front and rear bodies arranged side by side will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a knitting diagram for joining the shoulder joint 6 of the right shoulder, which is an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a knitting diagram for joining the shoulder joint 6 of the right shoulder following FIG. In addition, the code | symbol provided to each figure and the content of description may be abbreviate | omitted about the overlapping part. The flat knitting machine used for knitting is a two-bed flat knitting machine having a pair of front and back needle beds. The rear needle bed can be racked against the front needle bed and can be transferred between the front and back needle beds. . Further, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the number of stitches and stitches are less than the actual knitting, and all knitting is performed with a tentacle. In addition, with respect to the transfer with racking, the racking operation is omitted in the knitting diagram.

In the present embodiment, the left and right shoulders are joined symmetrically, but the bind-off process is performed in the same manner, so the description will be made only on the right shoulder. In order to join the right shoulder of the front opening V-neck vest 1, the right back shoulder joint 6RB following the back body 2 knitted using the first yarn feeder and the right front body knitted using the second yarn feeder The shoulder joint 6RF is connected. Hereinafter, the process will be described with reference to the knitting diagrams of FIGS.

  In FIG. 1, the S + number shown at the left position indicates a step and continues from S0 to S25. FB indicates the front needle bed, BB indicates the rear needle bed, and in the arrows adjacent to the step display, the horizontal direction indicates the traveling direction of the carriage, and the vertical direction indicates the transfer direction between the front and back needle beds. The upward direction is a transfer from FB to BB, and the downward direction is the opposite. A black circle indicates a newly formed stitch, a white circle indicates a stitch that is locked to the knitting needle, a double circle indicates a double stitch, and a black dot indicates a knitting needle. The position of the knitting needle is indicated by an alphabet, and the lower case is indicated by BB and the upper case is indicated by FB.

  In S0, the knitting needles a to k of the BB engage the right front body turn-back portion 4R, and the knitting needles 1 to s engage the respective stitches of the right rear shoulder joint portion 6RB, and the second yarn feeder and the first yarn feeder, respectively. using. In S1, a new stitch is formed on the stitches locked to the knitting needles a to k of the right front body turn-back portion 4R. Further, the stitches locked to the knitting needles 1 to s of the right back shoulder joint portion 6RB are transferred to the knitting needles of the knitting needles L to S. Formation of a new stitch after the knitting of S1 is knitting at the second yarn feeder. In S2, the stitches locked to the knitting needles k of the BB are transferred to the knitting needles L of the FB.

  In S3, a new stitch is formed on the stitch of the knitting needle M of the FB in the left direction. In S4, new stitches are formed on the knitting needles L and M of the FB in the right direction. In S5, the stitches locked to the knitting needles L of the FB are transferred to the knitting needles l of the BB. A double stitch is provided in S2, and a new stitch is provided in S3 and 4 to perform bind off processing. In S6, the stitches transferred to the knitting needle l of the BB in S5 are transferred back to the knitting needle M of the FB to form double stitches. In S7, the stitches engaged with the knitting needles a to j of the BB are transferred to the knitting needles D to M of the FB shifted to the right by three stitches. Again, the knitting needle M is further formed with double stitches to form a triple stitch.

  In S8, a new stitch is formed on the stitch locked to the knitting needle N of the FB toward the left direction, and in S9, a new stitch is formed on the knitting needles M, N of the FB in the right direction. These two steps are knitting as bind-off processing. In S10, the stitches locked to the knitting needles D to M of the FB are transferred to the knitting needles dm of the BB. In S11, the stitches locked to the knitting needles m of the BB are transferred to the knitting needles N of the FB to provide double stitches. In S12, the stitches locked to the knitting needles 1 of the BB are transferred to the knitting needles N of the FB, and further double stitches are formed to form a triple stitch.

  In S13, a new stitch is formed on the knitting needle O of the FB in the left direction. In S14, new stitches are formed on the knitting needles N, O of the FB in the right direction. These two steps are knitting as bind-off processing as in S3, 4 and S8, 9. In S15, the stitches locked to the knitting needles N of the FB are transferred to the knitting needles n of the BB. In S16, the stitches transferred to the BB in S15 are transferred back to the knitting needles O of the FB to form double stitches, and in S17, each stitch locked to the knitting needles d to k of the BB is shifted to the right by four stitches. Transfer to the knitting needles H to O of the FB. Again, the knitting needle O is further formed with double stitches to form a triple stitch. In S18, the stitches locked to the knitting needles H to N of the FB transferred in S17 are transferred to the knitting needles h to n of the BB.

  In S19, new stitches are formed in the stitches locked on the knitting needles P and O of the FB and the knitting needles n to h of the BB in the left direction. Further, in S20, new stitches are formed in the stitches locked to the knitting needles h to n of the BB and the knitting needles O and P of the FB in the right direction. In the knitting in S19 and S20, the number of stitches is smaller than that in the knitting in S1, but this is because the bind-off process is performed in which a double stitch is provided to form a new stitch, and the stitched stitch is released from the knitting needle. is there. The same knitting is performed for two courses because it is a turn-back knitting that sequentially reduces the stitches and provides an inclination. Further, the position of the yarn feeder after the knitting of the two courses is almost the same as that before the knitting, and is close to the position of S24 at the end of S14 and the subsequent S24, so that the bind off processing can be performed smoothly. Furthermore, before the transfer is performed in the subsequent bind off process, the stitch transferred in S7, 10, 17, 18 is replaced with a new stitch. The number of transfers to the stitch can be reduced, and the knitting yarn can be prevented from being worn out.

  In S21, the stitches locked to the knitting needles O of the FB are transferred to the knitting needles o of the BB. In S22, the stitches transferred to the BB in S21 are transferred back to the knitting needles P of the FB to form double stitches. In S23, the stitches locked to the knitting needles h to n of the BB are transferred to the knitting needles J to P of the FB shifted to the right by two stitches. Again, the knitting needle P is further formed with double stitches to form a triple stitch. In S24, a new stitch is formed on the knitting needle Q of the FB in the left direction. In S25, new stitches are formed on the knitting needles P, Q of the FB in the right direction.

  Since S25 is the same as the steps shown in S10 to S20, the drawing is omitted. Specifically, a double stitch is provided by moving the second knitted fabric relative to the first knitted fabric, and a new stitch is formed at the double stitch. The first knitted fabric by the bind off process is performed while releasing the stitches from the knitting needles to reduce the stitches of the knitted fabric and repeating the knitting by turning back to the remaining knitted fabric, while the stitches locked to the knitting needles are sequentially shifted to the right side. And the second knitted fabric are joined. Eventually, the stitches of the right front body turnover portion 4R of the BB knitting needles a to k shown in S0 and the respective stitches of the right rear shoulder joint portion 6RB of the knitting needles 1 to s are joined as the right shoulder joint portion. In addition, the inclination of the front turn-back portion 4R is formed by the knit knitting of S19 and S20 or the turn-back knitting performed thereafter, and a shoulder drop is obtained.

  The bind-off process shown in the present embodiment is one of various bind-off methods, and other bind-off methods can be used without being limited thereto. The approaching pitch when providing the double stitches can be freely set, and the inclination angle for determining the lowering can also be adjusted by the number of turn-up knitting. Further, the yarn feeder to be used is not limited to one yarn feeder used in the present embodiment, and the same knitting is performed on the first knitted fabric, and two yarn feeders are combined with the yarn feeder. May be used, or another yarn feeder dedicated to bind-off may be used.

  Further, the joining of the knitted fabric shown in the present embodiment is performed with the stitches of the tengu, but a back stitch, a mesh pattern, or the like may be included, and a four-bed flat knitting machine may be used. Furthermore, although the shoulder joint of the front opening vest was shown in the Example, it is applicable to the range which does not deviate from the main point of this invention, without being limited to it.
