Description

  The present invention relates to socks (socks, foot covers, etc.), and more particularly to a method for forming a toe portion of a sock.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, a conventional general sock is composed of a mouth part 1, a body part 2, a heel part 3, a foot part 4 and a toe part 5, and is manufactured as follows. . FIG. 2 is a development view showing a conventional sock knitting process. The sock knitting by the sock knitting machine (circular knitting machine) starts knitting in a cylindrical shape from the wear mouth 1 and is knitted in a cylindrical shape up to the body 2. Next, following the rear body portion 2a, the knitting needles acting on the stitch knitting are sequentially reduced while the cylinder of the knitting machine is reciprocatingly rotated in the forward and reverse directions, and the trapezoidal collar portion 3a with the reduced stitch is knitted. Then, the trapezoidal collar part 3b is knitted by increasing the number of stitches contrary to the knitting of the decreasing number. At this time, the oblique side of the trapezoidal collar part 3a and the oblique side of the trapezoidal collar part 3b are connected to form a heel pocket (the collar part 3), and the connecting part of the oblique side becomes a gore line.

  Thereafter, the sole part 4a and the instep part 4b of the foot part 4 are knitted in an annular shape by the normal rotation of the knitting machine cylinder. Although the sole part 4a and the instep part 4b may be knitted with the same knitting structure or yarn use, generally, a strong knitting yarn is used for the sole part 4a, and the instep part 4b has a knitting structure. Change or add a pattern with colored threads. The tip part on the toe side of the foot part 4 is preferably knitted for 2 to 30 courses with a strong knitting yarn in the same manner as the toe part (ring toe 4c, 4c '). Next, following the soles 4a and 4c, the knitting needles acting on the stitch knitting are sequentially reduced while the cylinder of the knitting machine is reciprocatingly rotated in the forward and reverse directions, and the trapezoidal toe on the sole side due to the reduced eyes The part 5a is knitted, and then the opposite side of the knitting of the reduced number is increased and the trapezoidal toe part 5b on the instep side is knitted. In this state, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the trapezoidal toe portion 5b on the instep side and the instep portion 4b are not connected to each other, and the two portions are open. The opening is closed by means, and the state shown in FIG. 1 (a) is obtained (the bound portion is indicated by reference numeral 5c). In the knitting process shown in FIG. 2, the Rosso course portion 7 and the discarded knitting portion 8 are knitted with all the needles as preparation for binding with the Rosso sewing machine.

  Such a conventional sock manufacturing method is described as, for example, [Prior Art] in Japanese Patent No. 3911634 (Patent Document 1).

  In addition, in the case of socks with thin fabrics such as stockings, knitted to the toe part in a cylindrical shape, and then the tubular part that becomes the toe is flattened into a rectangular shape, and the edge of the fabric is overlaid with a female overlock sewing machine. The tip of the toe is stitched with three threads while the portion is cut into a substantially arc shape in accordance with the shape of the toe.

Japanese Patent No. 3911634

  In the sock manufactured by the above-described conventional sock manufacturing method, a single-character seam 5c is formed laterally on the instep portion 4b at the toe portion. This seam is located near the base of the toes of the sock wearer. For this reason, the pattern expression of the socks can be made into a pattern only up to this seam position. Although it depends on the size of the socks, the distance from the tip of the toe center to the seam is generally 4 to 4.5 cm, and the distance is plain during this period.

  In the case of shoes or sandals with a wide open mouth and a toe portion shallow like a pump, there is a problem that the seam 5c of the socks is visible and the appearance is not good. Moreover, in the case of a sock with a pattern, there is a problem that a toe portion without a pattern is seen and the appearance is not good.

  When sewing the toe tip with an overlock sewing machine while cutting a rectangular knitted fabric according to the shape of the toe, as in the above-mentioned stockings, the rectangular knitted fabric is used for cutting according to the shape of the toe. Will be cut diagonally, so that the yarn of the cut stitch is likely to fray due to slipping or the like. In addition, there is a problem that if the sewing is performed so that it is difficult to break, the seam becomes thick and hard. Moreover, since it is sewn manually, the shape is difficult to stabilize. Furthermore, if the fabric is thicker than stockings, such as general socks, the sewn portion of the tip of the toe becomes large, and a feeling of stickiness and a sense of incongruity occurs, so it is sewn while cutting the tip of the toe with an overlock sewing machine. This method is not suitable.

  The present invention eliminates such problems in the formation of the toe part of the conventional socks, eliminates the seam of the single letter next to the instep part, the sole side and the instep side at the tip of the toe part of the sock. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for forming a toe portion of a sock so that there is no stitching portion, the binding portion is strong, there is no fraying of the knitting yarn, and there is no feeling of stickiness.

  According to the present invention, in knitting socks, after knitting the knitted fabric of the sole and instep, the knitting needle of either the sole knitting needle or the instep knitting needle that knit the sole or instep With the remaining knitting needles, the knitting machine cylinder is reciprocally rotated in the forward and reverse directions, gradually reducing the eyes, and knitting a trapezoidal knitted fabric at the tip of the knitted fabric of the sole or instep, Next, the cylinder is rotated in one direction, and several courses are knitted with the sole side knitting needle and the instep side knitting needle, and then the sole side knitting needle or the instep side knitting needle knitting the trapezoidal knitted fabric is set to a rest state In addition, the lower knitting needle or the sole knitting needle that did not knitting the trapezoidal knitted fabric is gradually reduced in the forward and reverse directions while rotating the cylinder of the knitting machine, and the instep part Alternatively, a trapezoidal knitted fabric is knitted at the tip of the knitted fabric at the sole, thereby trapezoidal Forming the toe part in the sock, and forming the toe part in the sock, wherein the sole side toe part and the instep side toe part are formed, and then the sole side toe part and the instep side toe part are bound together. Achieve.

  Further, in the present invention, after forming the trapezoidal toe-side toe portion and the instep-side toe portion, the cylinder of the knitting machine is rotated in one direction by the sole-side knitting needle and the instep-side knitting needle. A 20-course knitted fabric is knitted to form a plantar side toe portion and an instep side toe portion having a trapezoidal enlarged portion, and then the sole side toe portion and the instep side toe portion are bound together. Also good.

  When binding the plantar side toe part and the instep side toe part, after forming the sole side toe part and the instep side toe part, the linking course part is knitted with the sole side knitting needle and the instep side knitting needle. The sole side toe part and the instep side toe part may be bound together by linking, or after the sole side toe part and the instep side toe part are formed, the sole side knitting needle and the instep Knitting the Rosso course part with the side knitting needle, then knitting the abandoned knitting course part, detaching the knitted fabric of the abandoned knitting course part with the Rosso sewing machine and sewing the Rosso course to the sole side toe part and the instep side The toe portion may be bound together.

  Conventionally, since the instep side toe portion was knitted after the sole side toe portion, the sewing portion appeared on the instep portion. However, according to the present invention, the toe portion is connected to the sole side toe portion and the foot side. Since the back side toe part is knitted separately and then the sole side toe part outer periphery and the instep side toe part outer periphery are bound together, the binding location is located at the tip of the toe part.

  According to the present invention, the sole side toe portion and the instep side toe portion are knitted into a shape along the toe and linked or sewn in a shape along the toe, so that the sewing up is stable.

  According to the present invention, the binding portion of the toe portion can be made strong by linking. Also, when sewing with a Rosso sewing machine, the knitted fabric of the abandoned knitting course part can be separated without cutting the stitches diagonally, and the Rosso course part is sewn twice in one operation, so the stitching location There is no worry about fraying of the yarn, it is strong, low and has no feeling of stickiness. The operation with the Rosso sewing machine is a manual operation, but since the predetermined position of the Rosso course part is sewn, stable mass production is possible.

  According to the present invention, since there is no sewing portion in the instep part, when expressing the pattern on the instep part, the pattern expression can be performed before the base of the toes. The range from the range in which the handle can be inserted to the tip of the toe (that is, the portion having no handle) is about 2 to 2.5 cm.

  In addition, even when wearing lightly-weared shoes with wide open mouths, the sewing site is not visible, and it is possible to give a beautiful appearance and a refreshing impression.

FIG. 1A is a perspective view of a conventional sock, and FIG. 1B is a perspective view of the sock in a semi-finished product in a state where a gap between a toe portion and an instep portion is open. It is an expanded view which shows the formation process of the conventional socks. It is an expanded view which shows one Example of the knitting process of the socks by this invention. It is a perspective view of the sock manufactured by the formation method of the toe part of the sock of the present invention. It is an expanded view which shows another Example of the knitting process of the socks by this invention.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

  As socks to which the method for forming a toe part of the present invention is applied, socks, a foot cover having no body part above the heel part and having a wide open mouth, tights or stockings using thick knitting yarn are suitable.

  The knitting method in the present invention is a conventionally known method except for the toe portion of the sock, and can be knitted using a known thread.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

  FIG. 3 is a development view showing an embodiment of the sock knitting process in the toe part forming method of the present invention, and the same parts as those in FIG.

  That is, knitting is started from the wear mouth portion 1 into a tubular shape and the body portion 2 is knitted into a tubular shape as in the conventional case. Next, following the rear body portion 2a, the knitting needles acting on the stitch knitting are sequentially reduced while the cylinder of the knitting machine is reciprocatingly rotated in the forward and reverse directions, and the trapezoidal collar portion 3a with the reduced stitch is knitted. Then, the trapezoidal collar part 3b is knitted by increasing the number of stitches contrary to the knitting of the decreasing number. At this time, the oblique side of the trapezoidal collar part 3a and the oblique side of the trapezoidal collar part 3b are connected to form a heel pocket (the collar part 3), and the connecting part of the oblique side becomes a gore line.

  Thereafter, the sole part 4a and the instep part 4b of the foot part 4 are knitted in an annular shape by the normal rotation of the knitting machine cylinder. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the tip part on the toe side of the foot part 4 is knitted with 2 to 30 courses of ring toe 4c, 4c 'with a strong knitting yarn in the same manner as the toe part.

After knitting the sole and instep knitted fabric (4a, 4b, 4c, 4c '), either the sole side knitting needle or the instep side knitting needle that has knitted the sole or instep part Is in a dormant state. In the case of this embodiment, the instep side knitting needle is in a resting state. With the remaining knitting needles (plant side knitting needles), the cylinder of the knitting machine is gradually reciprocated while rotating back and forth, and the number of stitches is gradually reduced, and the trapezoidal knitted fabric 11 is knitted at the tips of the knitted fabrics 4a and 4c at the soles. To do.
Next, the cylinder is rotated in one direction (usually the normal rotation direction), and several courses (about 2 to 5 courses) are knitted with the sole side knitting needle and the instep side knitting needle. The knitted fabric 12 knitted here is annular. Thereafter, the plantar side knitting needle is put into a resting state, and the knitting machine cylinder is rotated forward and backward by the back side knitting needle that has not knitted the trapezoidal knitted fabric 11, and the eyes are gradually reduced. Thus, the trapezoidal knitted fabric 13 is knitted at the tips of the knitted fabrics 4b and 4c 'of the instep. Thus, in the present invention, the sole side toe portion 11 and the instep side toe portion 13 are knitted separately by the corresponding knitting needles.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the linking course portion 14 is knitted with the sole side knitting needle and the instep side knitting needle in order to bind the sole side toe portion 11 and the instep side toe portion 13 by linking. The linking course portion 14 uses the same material as the knitting yarn at the toe portion, but knitting one course with coarse stitches (increasing the size of the stitches) to facilitate linking. Thereafter, the outer peripheries of the sole side toe portion 11 and the instep side toe portion 13 are bound together by a linking device, and the sock shown in FIG. 4 is completed. In FIG. 4, the binding position is indicated by reference numeral 15.

  The knitting process shown in FIG. 3 is suitable for knitting with a sock knitting machine with an automatic linking device. When the sock knitting machine with an automatic linking device is used, the linking process is performed as it is when the knitting is completed.

  In the sock manufactured according to the present invention, the distance between the tip of the instep and the tip of the toe can be shorter than that of a conventional sock, and is about 2 to 2.5 cm.

  FIG. 5 is a development view showing another embodiment of the knitting process of the socks according to the present invention, and it is the same as described for FIG. 3 until the sole side toe portion 11 and the instep side toe portion 13 are knitted. Organized in the process. Thereafter, in this embodiment, the cylinder of the knitting machine is rotated in one direction (forward rotation) with the sole side knitting needle and the instep side knitting needle, and the Rosso course portion 16 is knitted about 2 to 6 courses. Subsequently, the knitting course part 17 is knitted to a length of about 1 to 1.5 cm. The Rosso course portion 16 is knitted with a slightly dense stitch with a thin thread of wooly nylon or FTY (a thread obtained by winding a wooly nylon thread around a polyurethane thread). The discarded knitting course portion 17 is preferably knitted using a yarn thicker than the toe portion. The knitting organization may be either flat or knitted.

  Thereafter, the knitted fabric is removed from the knitting machine, the sole side toe portion 11 and the instep side toe portion 13 are overlapped flatly, and the knitted fabric of the abandoned knitting course portion 17 is separated by the Rosso sewing machine and the Rosso course portion. 16 is sewn and the sole side toe part and the instep side toe part are bound together.

Since the Rosso sewing machine sews only the end of the Rosso course part, which is separated from the abandoned knitting course part 17, by first sewing, and sews the first sewing part and the toe part tip 1 to 2 courses by the second sewing. It has flat seams close to the linking method and is durable.
In each of the above-described embodiments, the linking course part 14 or the Rosso course part 16 is knitted immediately after the trapezoidal sole side toe part 11 and the instep side toe part 13 are knitted. After forming the instep side toe portion 13, the cylinder of the knitting machine is rotated in one direction, and a knitted fabric of 2 to 20 courses is knitted with the sole side knitting needle and the instep side knitting needle, and the foot having the trapezoidal enlarged portion The bottom side toe part and the instep side toe part may be formed, and then the linking course part 14 or the Rosso course part 16 and the discarded knitting course part 17 may be knitted.
