Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a hand knitting machine, in particular, two needle beds in which knitting needles are arranged in rows so as to be movable back and forth. This invention relates to a stitch transfer method for transferring the stitches of one knitting needle on one needle bed to the knitting needles on the other needle bed in a so-called drawing board type hand knitting machine which is arranged in a predetermined relationship and opposed to each other.

The conventional method for transferring stitches in hand knitting machines is to use a transfer tool with a plurality of transfer needles arranged in a row on an appropriate handle or support arm, and once the stitches to be transferred are transferred to the transfer needles, , there is a known method of transferring the stitches to other knitting needles, but this method does not cause any inconvenience when transferring stitches between adjacent knitting needles on the needle bed of a single-plate knitting machine, but the method described above When transferring a stitch hanging from the knitting needle of one of the two needle beds of a drawing board type hand knitting machine that are arranged facing each other in a predetermined relationship to the corresponding knitting needle of the other needle bed, transfer is required. The knitting needle of the other needle bed to which the stitch is to be transferred is located behind the transfer needle holding the stitch to be transferred, and therefore the hook tip of the knitting needle is inserted into the stitch from the rear side and transferred. Because of this, each knitting needle to which the stitches are to be transferred must be manually pulled out to the required position one by one and the hook inserted into the stitches, which is a cumbersome operation and requires the transfer of stitches from one knitting needle to another. It was not possible to transfer the stitches quickly, which in turn reduced the efficiency of the knitting work.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology, that is, there is no need for the cumbersome operation of pulling out each knitting needle one by one to a desired position and inserting it into the stitch, and the knitting needles are moved to a predetermined position. This is intended to allow stitches to be transferred while remaining in position.

This will be explained in detail below based on the drawings.

Reference numeral a designates a stitch transfer tool used directly in carrying out the method of the present invention, in which a pair of stitch transfer supports arm 1 and stitch removal support arm 2 are supported on a support shaft 3 so as to face each other. Support arms 1 and 2 rotate independently.

The support arm 1 is formed by inserting the support shaft 3 into the insertion hole formed in the support pieces 4, 4, which are provided at right angles to the front at both ends of the horizontally rectangular board 1a in the longitudinal direction. One long side of the board 1a is used as a grip part 5, and the required number of stitches is set on the inner surface of the other long side by placing needles 6 in rows in the longitudinal direction of the board 1a at the same spacing as the row spacing of the knitting needles. It is set up.

The stitching support arm 2 is provided with support pieces 7.7 provided at right angles to the rear at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the horizontally long rectangular substrate 2a, which is slightly longer than the substrate 1a. The support shaft 3 is inserted into an insertion hole located on the outside of the pieces 4, 4 and opened in each of the support pieces 7, 7, so that one long side of the board 2a serves as a grip part 8, and the other On the inner surface of the long side of the above-mentioned stitch pattern, there are the same number of stitch-taking needles 9 as needles 6, with the same spacing as the row spacing of the knitting needles, and each stitch pattern is arranged in a row opposite to the needle 6. It is.

Reference numeral 10.10 denotes a regulating piece bent and extended at the tips of the supporting pieces 7, 7, and the stitching is formed between the opposed parts of each regulating piece 10, 10 and both ends of the gripping part 8. Both ends of the gripping portion 5 are located, and this hook engages with the support arm 1 when it rotates in a predetermined direction, and restricts the rotation of the support arm 1 beyond a predetermined angle.

The above-mentioned stitch-taking needle 6 and stitch-taking needle 9 have their tip portions 6', 9' flattened, and elliptical through holes 11, 1 are formed in these portions.
2 is opened, and each of its tips 6', 9' are bent inward at a substantially right angle, and both needles 6 and 9 have a stitch hook when the support arm 1 is closed, that is, the support piece 4, When the tip of the needle 4 is brought into contact with the inner surface of the grip part 8 of the stitch-taking support arm 2, the stitch-taking needle 6 and the stitch-taking needle 9 are separated from each other at a required interval and opened. When the supporting arm 1 is rotated in the direction of the arrow 13 in FIG. 3 and the grip portion 5 is brought into contact with the regulating piece 10. Each stitch is placed on the outside of 9' using needle 6.
The corresponding tips of the two are set in such a relationship that they join together (Fig. 3).

Next, the actual transfer method of the present invention using the above transfer tool a will be explained with reference to FIG.
/, b/ is a pair of needle beds in which knitting needles N and N' are lined up at a predetermined interval;

N' are arranged oppositely in a known predetermined relationship such that they intersect in front of the sinker needles 14.14.

Thus, the knitting needle N is now in a predetermined position where the tips of the hooks 15, 15' are close to the inside of the sinker needles 14, 14 due to the sliding movement of the carriage (not shown).
In order to transfer the stitch 16 hanging on the knitting needle N of N' to the corresponding knitting needle, first, hold the grip part 5 or 8 and close the support arm 1 above the front side of the needle bed. Place the tip of the stitch-taking needle 9 opposite the hook 15 of the knitting needle N, and position the needle 6 behind the hook 15 for stitch-taking, and insert the tip of the hook 15 of the knitting needle N into the through-hole 12 of the stitch-taking needle 9. Insert one +! : (FIG. 4A) When the stitch transfer tool a is pulled forward (in the direction of arrow 13 in FIG. 3), the knitting needle N is pulled forward and the stitch 16 is completely pulled out (FIG. 4).

Then, when the stitch transfer tool a is returned to the rear almost to its original position, the knitting needles N move back and the stitches 16 are knocked over and transferred to the stitch transfer needles 9 (FIG. 4C).

Then, the hook 15 is pulled out from the through hole 12 of the stitch take-up needle 9, and then the stitch take-up needle 9 is opened by opening the support arm 1.
And stitch hooking is carried out by joining each tip of the needle 6, and while maintaining the joined state, pull the entire stitch transfer tool a slightly forward, and rotate and tilt it in the direction of arrow 13 in Fig. 3. The stitch-taking needle 9 is pulled out from the stitch 16, and the stitch-taking needle 6 is inserted into the stitch 16.

In this case, since the stitch 16 is kept taut, the stitch is automatically transferred to the needle 6.

In particular, the stitches are placed on the outside of the tip 9' of the stitch-taking needle 9.
Since the tips of the stitches 16 are joined as described above, the stitch 16 is smoothly transferred to the needle 6 as a result of the above-mentioned rotation operation (FIG. 4).

After the stitch 16 is transferred to the needle 6 in this way, the support arm 1 is closed, and the stitch 16 is hung on at least the rear side of the through hole 11 of the tip 6' of the needle 6. While maintaining this state, rotate the transfer tool a in the direction of arrow 13 in FIG. 3 to position it approximately horizontally above and in front of the needle bed b';
To make a stitch, the tip 6' of the needle 6 faces the hook 15' of the knitting needle N', and when the tip of the hook 15' is inserted into the through hole 11, the stitch is placed above the hook 15' of the needle 6. The suspended stitch 16 is released from the tensioned state and is transferred to the knitting needle N' by fitting into the hook 15' from above (as shown in the fourth figure).

In this way, after stitch 16 is transferred to knitting needle N', through hole 1
The stitch transfer operation is completed by pulling out the hook 15' from the stitch transfer tool a, and the number of stitch take-up needles 9 and stitch picks arranged in the transfer tool a is at least the same as or less than the number of needles 6. Each stitch 16 hanging on a knitting needle N can be simultaneously transferred to a corresponding knitting needle N'.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the stitch 1 of the hanging stitch is hung on the knitting needle N of the needle bed.
6 is transferred to the corresponding knitting needle N' on the needle bed b', but conversely, it is also possible to transfer the hanging stitch on the knitting needle N' to the corresponding knitting needle N. In this case, In the same manner as in the above embodiment, the stitches to be hung on the knitting needle M are once transferred to the stitch-taking needle 9, and then transferred to the stitch-taking needle 6, and then the stitches are transferred to the corresponding knitting needle N.
By transferring the stitch-taking needles 9 and stitch hooks to the knitting needles N', which are equal to or less than the number of needles 6, each stitch can be transferred to the corresponding knitting needle N.

As is clear from the above description, according to the method of the present invention, among the needles, the stitch-taking needle and the stitch-taking needle, which are arranged facing each other in a predetermined relationship, are first placed on the stitch-taking needle.

After a knitting stitch is once transferred to a knitting needle, the corresponding stitch is transferred to a needle, and the stitch is transferred by the needle to another knitting needle that is about to receive the transfer. Therefore, for example, as shown in the above embodiment, of the two needle beds of a double-plate hand knitting machine that are arranged opposite to each other in a predetermined relationship, one needle bed has a stitch suspended from a row of knitting needles. When transferring to the corresponding row of knitting needles on the other needle bed, first transfer the stitches hanging from the knitting needles on one needle bed to the stitch take-up needles, and then Next, the stitch hook joins the tips of the needles, transfers the stitch to the stitch needle, hangs it on the tip, and then releases the connection and transfers the stitch to the other needle that receives the stitch. The knitting needle is placed opposite the knitting needle on the needle bed so that the stitch can be transferred by fitting into the hook of the knitting needle from above.

However, in the case of the conventional method in which a plurality of transfer needles are arranged in a row on an appropriate handle or support arm, the stitches to be transferred are transferred and held from the knitting needles on one needle bed. The knitting needle of the other needle bed to which the stitch is to be transferred is located behind the transfer needle, and therefore the hook tip of the knitting needle is inserted into the stitch from behind and transferred. It is not necessary to manually pull out each knitting needle to a desired position one by one and insert a hook into the relevant stitch by hand. The two were placed opposite each other in the required relationship as shown above.
The stitches can be easily and quickly transferred from the knitting needles of one needle bed to the knitting needles of the other needle bed.

In addition, when transferring a stitch from a stitch take-up needle to a stitch pick-up needle, the tip of the stitch take-up needle is joined to the tip of the stitch take-up needle, and the stitch can be easily transferred to the stitch pick-up needle. After the joint is released, the stitch is transferred to the knitting needle on the other needle bed with the stitch hook suspended from the bent tip of the needle, so that the stitch hook is securely attached to the needle. It is also possible to hold the stitches and prevent erroneous operations such as the stitches accidentally falling off the needle during the transfer operation, which in turn can help improve the efficiency of knitting operations that involve transfer operations.
