Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for knitting pile knitting, and in particular, when knitting pile knitting using a sinker in a flat knitting machine, the hook of the sinker is reliably inserted between the ground yarn and the pile yarn. In order to separate both yarns, a needle with a knitting yarn locking hook is used to lock the base yarn to the knitting yarn locking hook before the pile yarn is locked to the hook of the needle. It is characterized in that the yarn is pulled down to create a gap between the pile yarn and the ground yarn, and the hanger hook of the sinker is inserted between them.

It is common practice to knit pile knits using sinkers, but knitting pile knits, especially bag-like pile knitted fabrics, using a flat knitting machine requires the reversal position of the carriage at both ends of the flat knitting machine. The pile yarns and ground yarns were not sufficiently processed in this area, and the sinker could not be fully operated in that area.

The pile of the present invention eliminates this drawback and allows the hook of the sinker to be perfectly positioned between the ground yarn and the pile yarn even at the left and right turning positions of the carriage of the flat knitting machine, thereby ensuring that the pile is developed. This is a knitting method.

Next, an embodiment of an apparatus for implementing the pile knitting method of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 is a stockinette needle used in the pile knitting method of the present invention,
A hook 5 is provided at the tip of the stem 2 via a throat 3 and a cheek 4. A latch 7 is provided on the cheek 4 so as to be pivotable by a beam bed 6, and the hook 5 of the latch 7 is attached to the opposing inner edge 8. A thread locking hook 9 is provided.

The knitting yarn locking hook 9 is arranged to protrude from the front edge of the cheek 4 when the latch 7 is in the maximum open state. Reference numerals 11 and 12 are needle beds provided opposite to each other in the shape of a chevron, and the needle bed 11 is located at the front of the knitting machine, and the needle bed 12 is located at the back of the knitting machine.

Each needle 1a is in the needle groove of each needle bed 11, 12.
, lb are inserted. 13 is a sinker and needles 1a, l
It is located between a.

The sinker 13 has two tiers, a hook for pile 14 and a hook for ground yarn 1.
5. The hook 15 for the ground yarn protrudes from the hook 14 for the pile. A sinker is also provided between the needles lb, but is not shown. 16 is a tying port for the ground yarn 17, and 18 is a yarn feeding port for the pile yarn 19.

Next, the pile knitting method will be explained.

Now, the carriage (not shown) is moved to the right with the yarn feeders 16 and 18 located on the right side of the knitting machine (Wl fabric), and is subsequently reversed and starts moving to the left as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Shown below.

When the carriage moves to the right, the needles 1b of the needle bed 12 are knitted, and the needles 1a of the needle bed 11 are placed in the non-working position, but when the carriage moves to the left, the needles 1b of the needle bed 12 are placed in the non-working position. Knit with the needles 1a of the needle bed 11. As the carriage (not shown) and the yarn feeders 16 and 18 move to the left, the ground yarn 17 is first fed from the yarn feeder 16 to the needle 1a. At this time, the needle 1a is in a position where it can receive the base thread 17 on the open latch 7 (FIGS. 2 and 3). And the ground thread 17
The needle 1a receives the fed ground yarn 17 with the knitting yarn locking hook 9 of the latch 7 and descends with the latch open, and the fed pile yarn 19 is knitted by the subsequent yarn feeder 18. The pile yarn 19 is secured to the hook 5 without being caught by the yarn securing hook 8 (FIGS. 4 and 5). Furthermore, when the needle 1a descends, the knitting yarn locking hook 8 provided on the latch 7 of the needle 1a
The ground yarn 17 hanging on the pile yarn 19 is pulled and completely separated from the pile yarn 19. At this time, sinker 13 comes down,
A pile hook 14 is provided between the ground yarn 17 and the pile yarn 19.
is inserted (Figures 6 and 7). As the needle 1a continues to descend, the latch 7 is reversed and closed at the knockover position, and the ground yarn 17 and the pile yarn 19 are both hooked on the hook 5. However, the pile hook 14 of the sinker 13 is located between both yarns (FIGS. 8 and 9). When the needle 1a descends to the lowest position, the base thread 17 is retained by the base thread hook 15 and the pile yarn 19 is retained by the pile hook 14, and a pile is formed with a height corresponding to the distance H between the two hooks. (10th
Fig. 11). When the carriage (not shown) finishes moving to the left as described above, all the needles 1a on the needle bed 11 side descend, and as the carriage is reversed, the needles 1b on the needle bed 12 side are moved to the left side of the previous carriage. As in the case of rowing, the pile fabric is knitted when the carriage moves to the right.

As a result, a bag-knitted pile fabric is knitted. As described above, according to the method of the present invention, among the ground yarn and pile yarn fed to the same needle, the ground yarn and the pile yarn are hooked to the knitting yarn locking hook of the latch. It is possible to sufficiently separate the two yarns, and the hook of the sinker can be inserted accurately between the two yarns, and the pile knitting can be knitted by a flat knitting machine without misknitting of the pile portion. Further, since a knitted fabric having piles can be knitted by bag knitting using a flat knitting machine having a pair of needle beds, the method of the present invention can be used for knitting pile gloves, pile socks, etc., for example.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1 Using a flat knitting machine having a needle with a knitting yarn locking hook on the inner edge facing the hook of the latch part, and a sinker with a hook for ground yarn and a hook for pile yarn, Of the ground yarn and pile yarn to be fed to the machine, the ground yarn is first hooked to the knitting yarn locking hook of the latch, and while the ground yarn is pulled down by lowering the needle slightly, the same type of pile yarn is attached to the hook. By feeding the yarn so that it is locked, the ground yarn and pile yarn are sufficiently separated,
Insert the hook for the pile yarn of the sinker between both threads and continue to pull the needle down to hook the ground yarn to the hook for the ground yarn and the pile yarn to the hook for the pile, and then pull the needle to the knockover position. A pile knitting method characterized by forming a pile by pulling down.
