[0028] [Implementation method 1]

[0029] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the following description is an example of the knitted fabric involved in the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example.

[0030] (Structure of braided fabric)

[0031] Figure 1 1 is a diagram showing a knitted fabric 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 1001 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the braided fabric 100. Figure 1 1002 is the Figure 1 FIG. 1001 is a front view of an enlarged view of the opening end 102 at the dotted line frame P portion. Figure 1 As shown in 1001, the knitted fabric 100 includes: a tubular knitted fabric body 101 and an end processing portion W, the end processing portion W is knitted (sewn) along a specific row and prevents the opening end 102 from loosening. The specific row is one of the plurality of rows of the knitted fabric body 101 located at one end of the knitted fabric body 101, i.e., the side of the opening end 102 at the knitting end side. The end processing portion W is knitted by knitting the specific row into a coil shape while maintaining the open state of the opening end 102.

[0032] In the present embodiment, an example is described in which the specific course is the final course A1 on the knitting end side and the terminal processing portion W is knitted along the final course A1. The specific course is not limited to the final course A1, and may be one of the plurality of courses located on the opening end 102 side, for example, may be a plurality of inner courses adjacent to the final course A1 on the opening end 103 side where knitting starts.

[0033] (woven fabric body)

[0034] The braid body 101 is a tubular braid with both ends open in the axial direction, and is knitted using a circular knitting machine. The braid body 101 has an open end 103 at the knitting start side and an open end 102 at the knitting end side. Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1002 , in the final row A1 located at the periphery of the opening end 102 , a plurality of final stitches m are arranged.

[0035] Figure 2 2001 is a schematic diagram showing the rows of the knitted fabric body 101, Figure 2 2002 is a schematic diagram showing the longitudinal rows of the braided fabric body 101. The horizontal rows are the coils (braided coils) arranged in the horizontal direction, that is, in the circumferential direction of the tubular braided fabric body 101, such as Figure 2As shown in FIG. 2001, in a horizontal row, a plurality of continuous coils indicated in black are arranged in the horizontal direction. In addition, the wale is the coils arranged in the longitudinal direction, that is, in the axial direction of the tubular braid body 101, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 2002, in one wale, a plurality of coils indicated in black are arranged in the longitudinal direction. It should be noted that, hereinafter, the row direction of the knitted fabric body 101 is referred to as the row direction CD, and the wale direction of the knitted fabric body 101 is referred to as the wale direction WD.

[0036] (Final processing unit)

[0037] The terminal processing portion W is knitted along the final course A1 to prevent the opening end portion 102 from being loosened. The terminal processing portion W has a plurality of connecting stitches Wc knitted along the final course A1. The connecting stitches Wc pass through the final stitches m adjacent to each other in the final course A1 and connect the final stitches m without sewing deviation. In other words, the connecting stitches Wc connect the final stitches m adjacent to each other in the final course A1.

[0038] exist Figure 1 In 1002, final stitches m1 to m4 are exemplified as final stitches m arranged in the final row A1. The final stitches m adjacent to each other in the final row A1 are, for example, the final stitches m1 and the final stitches m2, the final stitches m2 and the final stitches m3, and the final stitches m3 and the final stitches m4.

[0039] in addition, Figure 1 The Wc1 to Wc3 of 1002 illustrate the connection stitches Wc knitted along the final row A1. The connection stitch Wc1 connects the final stitch m1 to the final stitch m2. Similarly, the connection stitch Wc2 connects the final stitch m2 to the final stitch m3, and the connection stitch Wc3 connects the final stitch m3 to the final stitch m4.

[0040] Thus, for each final stitch m of the final course A1, adjacent final stitches m are connected one by one by the connecting stitch Wc, so that the opening end 102 of the knitted fabric 100 is less likely to become loose. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the opening end 102 of the knitted fabric 100 from becoming loose without using a heat-fusible elastic fiber as in the prior art.

[0041] In addition, the opening end 102 is reliably knitted between adjacent final loops m by a single connecting loop Wc, so that the opening end 102 can be prevented from becoming thicker due to the terminal processing portion W. Therefore, the foreign body feeling when touching the opening end 102 of the knitted fabric 100 can be suppressed.

[0042] The terminal processing portion W is preferably knitted over the entire circumference of the final course A1. Thus, the terminal processing portion W is knitted through all the final stitches m of the final course A1, and thus loosening of the opening end portion 102 can be reliably suppressed.

[0043] It should be noted that the terminal processing portion W may be knitted over the entire circumference of the final row A1 and may be repeatedly knitted over a portion of the final row A1. This can prevent the terminal processing portion W from becoming loose from the end. In addition, the terminal processing portion W may not necessarily be knitted over the entire circumference, as long as it is knitted according to the required length.

[0044] (Details of the final processing unit)

[0045] based on Figure 3 The details of the terminal processing unit W will be described. Figure 3 1 is a diagram for explaining an example of the terminal processing portion W of the knitted fabric 100. Here, a structure in which a specific course in which the terminal processing portion W is knitted is the final course A1, that is, for example, a structure in which the final stitch m of the final course A1 is connected to the final stitch m adjacent to the final stitch m through a connecting stitch Wc is explained.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the terminal processing portion W includes a plurality of connected coils Wc.

[0047] In the example shown in the figure, the connecting stitch Wc is arranged on the surface side (outside of the knitted fabric 100) of the final stitch m so as to extend from the final stitch m to the positive ("+") side (the side opposite to the inside of the knitted fabric 100) in the wale direction WD of the final stitch m adjacent to the final stitch m. The end Wc_1 on the positive side in the wale direction WD of the connecting stitch Wc is located closer to the positive side in the wale direction WD than the end m_1 of the final stitch m of the final row A1. In other words, the connecting stitch Wc is knitted so that the end Wc_1 is closer to the positive side in the wale direction WD than the final row A1. In addition, the end Wc_2 on the negative ("-") side in the wale direction of the connecting stitch Wc is located closer to the negative side in the wale direction WD than the end m_1.

[0048] The terminal processing portion W is composed of a warp yarn Wa and a weft yarn Wo. The weft yarn Wo is knitted on the front side of the final stitch m so as to be convex on the positive side of the wale direction WD and the negative side of the wale direction WD and to extend in the course direction CD of the knitted fabric 100 while alternately forming a substantially inverted U shape. The substantially inverted U shape convex on the positive side of the wale direction WD of the weft yarn Wo forms a stitch shape of a connecting stitch Wc.

[0049] The warp yarn Wa is woven so that the weft yarn Wo forms a loop shape connecting the loop Wc and extends in the course direction CD at the back side of the final loop m while being wound into the back side of the final loop m (inside the knitted fabric 100).

[0050] Specifically, for example, the warp yarn Wa passing through the connecting stitch Wc1 from the front side to the back side winds the weft yarn Wo forming the connecting stitch Wc2 adjacent to the connecting stitch Wc1 on the negative side in the course direction CD into the back side of the knitted fabric 100 in the final stitch m1.

[0051] Furthermore, the warp yarn Wa passes through the connection loop Wc1 from the back side to the front side, and passes through the connection loop Wc2 from the front side to the back side. Moreover, the warp yarn Wa wraps the weft yarn Wo of the connection loop Wc3 adjacent to the negative side of the row direction CD forming the connection loop Wc2 into the back side of the knitted fabric 100 in the final loop m2.

[0052] Thereby, the connecting stitch Wc can reliably connect mutually adjacent final stitches without missing any holes in each final stitch m of the final row A1.

[0053] In this way, the connecting stitch Wc, for example, does not connect the final stitch m with the stitch of the final course of another knitted fabric, but connects the final stitch m with the final stitch m arranged adjacent to the final stitch m in the same course.

[0054] It should be noted that the front and back sides of the knitted fabric 100 do not matter for the formation of the terminal processed portion W. The same applies to the following modified examples and embodiments.

[0055] (Details of the main body of the braid)

[0056] (yarn for knitting)

[0057] Warp yarn Wa and weft yarn Wo can use general wire materials, such as wool nylon, filament twisted yarn (FTY), double covered yarn (DCY). As warp yarn Wa and weft yarn Wo, stretchable yarn is used, so that it can follow the stretch of knitted fabric 100 to improve the wearing feeling.

[0058] In addition, a general wire material can be used for the knitted fabric main body 101. For example, in the knitted fabric main body 101, the yarn of the knitted fabric main body 101 can be knitted so as to become thinner toward the final course A1. In other words, the yarn constituting the course of the knitted fabric main body 101 can become thinner from the inside of the knitted fabric main body 101 toward the opening end 102. Thus, even if knitting for suppressing loose connecting stitches Wc is performed on the final course A1, the thickness difference between the knitted fabric 100 and the opening end 102 can be suppressed, so that the foreign body sensation at the opening end 102 can be further reduced.

[0059] In addition, the knitted fabric main body 101 may be knitted so that the number of yarns of the knitted fabric main body 101 decreases toward the final course A1.

[0060] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, in the knitted fabric 100, the yarn Y1 composed of two yarns, the front yarn and the back yarn, may be used on the inside from the first inside course A2 of the knitted fabric body 101, and the yarn Y2 composed of only the back yarn may be used on the final course A1 of the open end 102. Thus, the same effect as when the yarns constituting the course are made thinner from the inside of the knitted fabric body 101 toward the open end 102 can be achieved.

[0061] It should be noted that the structure of the yarn is not limited to the above case, and can be set appropriately. For example, in order to increase the strength, the braided fabric body 101 can also be woven so that the yarn of the braided fabric body 101 becomes thicker toward the opening end 102.

[0062] (Effect)

[0063] In the past, the following three methods were listed as methods for preventing the end of the knitting end side of the knitted fabric from becoming loose. (1) The end of the knitting end side is knitted by heat-melting the yarn to fix the loop. (2) The end of the knitting end side is folded back and the end of the knitting end side and the middle part of the knitted fabric are knitted together by a sewing machine. (3) The end of the knitting end side is knitted by a sewing machine.

[0064] However, as described above, in the method (1) of knitting and fixing the loop by heat-fusion yarn, since the heat-fusion elastic fiber is solidified after the fusion and becomes difficult to stretch, a foreign body feeling is generated when wearing, and a ring-shaped mark is easily left on the skin. In addition, since the end portion is prevented from loosening by fusion, the end portion is easily loosened due to friction during wearing.

[0065] In contrast, the knitted fabric 100 can prevent the end of the knitted fabric from becoming loose without using a heat-weldable elastic fiber, so that no foreign body sensation is generated when the knitted fabric is worn, and a ring-shaped mark is not easily left on the skin. In addition, since the end of the knitted fabric is not prevented from becoming loose by welding, the end can also be prevented from becoming loose due to friction during wear.

[0066] In addition, in the method of (2) in which the end portion of the knitting end side is folded back and the end portion of the knitting end side and the middle portion of the knitted fabric are knitted using a sewing machine, the knitted fabric becomes thicker due to the folding back of the end portion of the knitting end side, and there is a foreign body sensation when wearing it.

[0067] On the other hand, in the knitted fabric 100, since the end portion on the knitting end side is not folded back, it is possible to suppress the knitted fabric from becoming thicker and prevent the end portion on the knitting end side from becoming loose.

[0068] Furthermore, in the method of knitting the end of the knitting end side with a sewing machine in (3), it is difficult to connect each of the adjacent final coils m one by one with a single coil without missing any holes. Therefore, in order to reliably prevent the end of the knitting end side from loosening, it is necessary to repeatedly knit the end of the knitting end side with the sewing machine. If the number of knitting times of the sewing machine is increased, the end of the knitting end side will become thicker, which will produce a foreign body feeling when worn, and will damage the elasticity of the end of the knitting end side. In addition, the design of the appearance will also be reduced.

[0069] In contrast, the knitted fabric 100 can knit the terminal processing portion W by applying the connection technology, and can connect the adjacent final stitches m by the single connection stitch Wc knitted along the final row A1. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the end portion of the knitting end side from becoming thicker, so that the foreign body feeling when wearing can be suppressed. In addition, since the adjacent final stitches m can be reliably connected by the single connection stitch Wc, the elasticity of the end portion of the knitting end side can be ensured. In addition, the design of the appearance is also improved.

[0070] [Variant 1]

[0071] Below, based on Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 Modification 1 of the present invention will be described. Figure 4 This is a diagram for explaining a modified example of the terminal processed portion W of the knitted fabric 100. Figure 5 Yes Figure 4 A figure is provided to illustrate a specific example of a modified example.

[0072] In the above embodiment, the specific course is the final course A1 and the terminal processing portion W is knitted in the final course A1, but the present invention is not limited to the above. The specific course only needs to be one of the multiple courses located on the side of the opening end 102, and the multiple courses of the knitted fabric body 101 selected as the specific course are preferably within five courses from the opening end 102.

[0073] Specifically, when the specific course is the final course A1 or the specific course is the inside course, the specific course is preferentially any one of the first inside course A2 to the fourth inside course A5.

[0074] The specific row is within five rows from the opening end 102, so that the interval from the specific row to the opening end 102 is not too large, and the terminal processing portion W can be properly knitted. On the other hand, if the distance from the opening end 102 is more than six rows, the peripheral edge of the opening end 102 of the knitted fabric 100 may be uneven.

[0075] In addition, when the specific course is an inner course located closer to the inside than the final course A1 on the side of the opening end 102, the terminal processing portion W may be knitted from the inner course to the final course A1. Specifically, when the specific course is the second inner course A3, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the terminal processing portion W may also be knitted in a manner that covers a total of three rows from the final row A1 to the second inner row A3. Thus, since the terminal processing portion W is knitted in a manner that covers a plurality of rows on the side of the opening end portion 102, the terminal processing portion W can be knitted into the braided fabric body 101 more reliably.

[0076] (The specific row is the first inside row)

[0077] based on Figure 5 Here, a specific structure in which the specific course is an inner course arranged inside the final course A1 on the knitting end side is described. Here, a structure in which the specific course knitted in the common terminal processing portion W is the first inner course A2, that is, a structure in which the inner stitch n of the first inner course A2 is connected to the inner stitch n adjacent to the inner stitch n through the connecting stitch Wc is described.

[0078] In the example shown in the figure, the connecting stitch Wc straddles the inner stitch n (for example, the inner stitch n1) and the final stitch m (for example, the final stitch m2) on the same wale of the inner stitch n adjacent to the inner stitch n, and is arranged on the front side of the inner stitch n and the final stitch m. The end Wc_1 on the positive side in the wale direction WD of the connecting stitch Wc is located closer to the positive side in the wale direction WD than the end m_1 of the final stitch m in the final course A1.

[0079] Furthermore, the end Wc_2 on the negative side in the wale direction of the connecting stitch Wc is located closer to the negative side in the wale direction WD than the end n_1 on the positive side in the wale direction of the inner stitch n.

[0080] The weft yarn Wo of the terminal processing portion W is knitted on the front side of the inner stitch n so as to bulge toward the positive side of the wale direction WD and the negative side of the wale direction WD and to extend toward the course direction CD of the knitted fabric 100 while alternately forming a substantially inverted U shape. The substantially inverted U shape bulging toward the positive side of the wale direction WD of the weft yarn Wo forms a stitch shape of the connecting stitch Wc.

[0081] The warp yarn Wa of the terminal processing part W is woven as follows: the weft yarn Wo forms a coil shape connecting the coil Wc, and the weft yarn Wo is rolled into the inner side of the final coil m and the inner coil n while extending in the horizontal direction CD on the inner side of the final coil m and the inner coil n.

[0082] Specifically, for example, the weft yarn Wo forming the connecting stitch Wc2 adjacent to the connecting stitch Wc1 on the negative side in the row direction CD is wound into the inner stitch n1 formed by the warp yarn Wa passing through the connecting stitch Wc1 from the front side to the back side.

[0083] Furthermore, the warp yarn Wa passes through the connection loop Wc1 from the back side to the front side, and passes through the connection loop Wc2 from the front side to the back side. Moreover, the warp yarn Wa wraps the weft yarn Wo of the connection loop Wc3 adjacent to the negative side of the row direction CD forming the connection loop Wc2 into the back side of the knitted fabric 100 in the inner loop n2.

[0084] Thus, the connecting stitches Wc can reliably connect the inner stitches n adjacent to each other without missing any holes in each inner stitch n of the first inner course A2. In addition, the connecting stitches Wc include from the final course A1 to the first inner course A2. In other words, the terminal processing portion W is knitted so as to cover the final course A1 and the first inner course A2. Therefore, the terminal processing portion W can be knitted on the knitted fabric body 101 more reliably.

[0085] It should be noted that the adjacent inside stitches n in the first inside course A2 are connected to each other, and the inside stitch n is connected to the last stitch m in the same wale, but the adjacent last stitches m are not connected to each other.

[0086] [Variant 2]

[0087] Below, based on Figure 6 Modification 2 of the present invention will be described. Figure 6 This is a diagram for explaining another modified example of the terminal processed portion W of the knitted fabric 100.

[0088] In the above embodiment, the terminal processing portion W is woven from the warp yarn Wa and the weft yarn Wo, but it is not limited to the above content. Figure 6 As shown, the terminal processing part W can also be woven only by the warp yarn Wa. Figure 6 In the description, a structure in which the final stitch m of the final course A1 is connected to the final stitch m adjacent to the final stitch m by the connecting stitch Wc knitted only with the warp yarn Wa will be described.

[0089] In the example shown in the figure, the warp yarn Wa extends in the course direction CD of the knitted fabric 100 while alternately forming a substantially inverted U-shape convex toward the positive side of the wale direction WD and a joining portion Wa_3 convex toward the negative side of the course direction CD.

[0090] The warp yarn Wa is convex in a substantially inverted U shape on the positive side of the wale direction WD to form a coil shape of the connecting stitch Wc. The connecting stitch Wc spans the final stitch m and the final stitch m adjacent to the final stitch m and is formed on the back side of the final stitch m. The joint Wa_3 spans the final stitch m and the final stitch m adjacent to the final stitch m and is formed on the front side of the final stitch m.

[0091] Specifically, for example, the warp yarn Wa and the joint Wa_31 continuously form a connection loop Wc1. Further, the connection loop Wc1 forms a joint Wa_32 by passing the region Q1 formed by the joint Wa_31 from the front side to the back side of the joint Wa_31 in the final loop m1, and then passes the region Q1 from the back side to the front side of the joint Wa_31.

[0092] In addition, the warp yarns Wa and Wa_32 continuously form a connection stitch Wc2, so that a region Q2 formed by the joining portion Wa_32 in the final stitch m2 passes through the front side of the joining portion Wa_32 to the back side.

[0093] Thereby, the connecting stitch Wc can reliably connect mutually adjacent final stitches without missing any holes in each final stitch m of the final row A1.

[0094] [Variant 3]

[0095] Below, based on Figure 7 Modification 3 of the present invention will be described. Figure 7 This is a diagram for explaining still another modification of the terminal processing portion W of the knitted fabric 100. In this modification, a structure in which an inner stitch n of the first inner course A2 is connected to an inner stitch n adjacent to the inner stitch n by a connecting stitch Wc knitted only with the warp yarn Wa is explained.

[0096] The warp yarn Wa extends in the course direction CD of the knitted fabric 100 while alternately forming a substantially inverted U-shape convex toward the positive side of the wale direction WD and a joining portion Wa_3 convex toward the negative side of the course direction CD.

[0097] The warp yarn Wa is convex in a substantially inverted U shape toward the positive side of the wale direction WD to form a coil shape of the connecting stitch Wc. The connecting stitch Wc spans the inner stitch n of the first inner course A2 and the inner stitch n adjacent to the inner stitch n, and is formed on the inner side of the final stitch m and the inner stitch n.

[0098] The joining portion Wa_3 is formed on the front side of the inner stitch n across the inner stitch n on the first inner row A2 and the inner stitch n adjacent to the inner stitch n.

[0099] Specifically, for example, the warp yarn Wa and the joint Wa_31 continuously form a connection loop Wc1. Further, the connection loop Wc1 allows the region Q1 formed by the joint Wa_31 in the inner loop n1 to pass through the inner side of the joint Wa_31 from the front side to form the joint Wa_32, and allows the region Q1 to pass through the front side from the inner side of the joint Wa_31.

[0100] In addition, the warp yarn Wa and the joining portion Wa_32 continuously form a connection stitch Wc2, so that the area Q2 formed by the joining portion Wa_32 in the inner stitch n2 passes through the front side of the joining portion Wa_32 to the back side.

[0101] Thereby, in each of the inner stitches n of the first inner course A2, the inner stitches adjacent to each other can be securely connected without any missing holes.

[0102] [Implementation method 2]

[0103] It should be noted that, for the sake of convenience, components having the same functions as those described in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and will not be described again.

[0104] In this embodiment, an example of a wearable article using the knitted fabric 100 according to the first embodiment is described. The knitted fabric 100 according to the present invention can be applied to wearable articles that a user can wear on the body. As wearable articles, for example, the knitted fabric 100 can be appropriately applied to arm sleeves, leg wear, protective gear, socks, etc.

[0105] Figure 8 1 is a diagram showing an example of socks using the knitted fabric 100 . Figure 8 8001 means socks 200, Figure 8 8002 indicates sock 200a, Figure 8The 8003 indicates sock 200b, Figure 8 8004 means socks 200c, Figure 8 8005 means socks 200d.

[0106] The sock 200 is a sock produced by closing the open end portion where knitting starts as the toe portion in the knitted fabric 100. The sock 200 has a terminal processing portion W formed at the open end portion at the insertion and removal opening 201. Thus, the sock 200 is less likely to become loose at the insertion and removal opening 201, and a sock 200 with less foreign body sensation can be realized.

[0107] The socks 200a are socks made of different knitted fabrics on the upper and lower parts, and the knitted fabric 100 is used in the part corresponding to the toes. In the socks 200a, the opening end of the knitted fabric 100 on the knitting end side is located at the switching part 201a other than the wearing and removing opening 202 of the socks 200a, and the terminal processing part W is formed at this part. Therefore, even if the socks are made of different knitted fabrics on the upper and lower parts, the socks 200a with less foreign body sensation at the switching part 201a can be realized.

[0108] Socks 200b are socks for DVT (deep venous thrombosis), and are provided with an opening 201b at a position corresponding to the back of the foot. In the socks 200b, the insertion and removal opening 203 is formed at the start of knitting, and the end processing portion W is formed at the opening 201b which is the end side of knitting. Thus, even if the socks have the opening 201b between the toe and the insertion and removal opening 203, it is possible to realize a sock 200b that is not easy to get loose at the opening 201b and has little foreign body sensation at the opening 201b and the insertion and removal opening 203.

[0109] The sock 200c is a sock in which the portion closer to the upper side (put-on and take-off side) than the connecting portion 201c is single-layered and the portion closer to the lower side (toe side) than the connecting portion 201c is double-layered. The sock 200c has a knitted fabric body 204. The knitted fabric body 204 is knitted in a tubular shape from the put-on and take-off side 202 and is knitted to the toe portion. In addition, the folding portion 205 is knitted continuously with the knitted fabric body 204 to the connecting portion 201c, so that the knitted fabric body 204 is folded back inwardly when the toe portion is open. The end 205c of the folding portion 205 is connected to the knitted fabric body 204 at the connecting portion 201c. At this time, the end 205c may be connected to the knitted fabric body 204 over the entire circumference. In addition, a terminal processing portion W is formed at the end 205c. It should be noted that the toe portion is closed using a sewing machine or the like.

[0110] In addition, the end portion 205c may not be connected to the knitted fabric body 204 over the entire circumference of the folded portion 205. For example, the end portion 205c may be connected to the knitted fabric body 204 over about 5 / 6 of the entire circumference, and the remaining portion may not be connected to the knitted fabric body 204. Thus, the portion not connected to the knitted fabric body 204 is an opening, which can be used as a pocket for putting a pocket warmer, etc. In this case, the terminal processing portion W may be formed only at the opening. Thus, a sock with a double layer on the toe side and not easy to be loose can be realized.

[0111] The sock 200d is a sock in which the portion closer to the upper side than the connection portion 201d is double-layered and the portion closer to the lower side than the connection portion 201d is single-layered. The sock 200d has a knitted fabric body 206. The knitted fabric body 206 is knitted from the toe side to the insertion and removal opening 207. In addition, the folding portion 208 is continuously knitted with the knitted fabric body 206 to the knitting connection portion 201d, so that the knitted fabric body 206 is folded back inward at the insertion and removal opening 207. The end 208d of the folding portion 208 is connected to the knitted fabric body 206 at the connection portion 201d. In this case, the end 208d may be connected to the knitted fabric body 206 over the entire circumference. In addition, the end processing portion W is formed at the end 208d. Thus, a sock having a double layer in front of the insertion and removal opening and not easy to be loose can be realized.

[0112] Fig. 9 1 is a diagram showing an example of a protective gear using the knitted fabric 100 . Fig. 9 9001 means protective gear 300, Fig. 9 9002 represents protective gear 300a, Fig. 9 9003 indicates protective gear 300b, Fig. 9 Reference numeral 9004 indicates protective gear 300c.

[0113] The protector 300 includes a knitted fabric body 301, and a wearing and removing opening 302 and a toe side opening 303 are provided at both ends of the knitted fabric body 301. In the protector 300, the knitted fabric body 301 is knitted starting from the wearing and removing opening 302, and a terminal processing portion W is formed at the toe side opening 303 where the knitting ends. That is, in the protector 300, the wearing and removing opening 302 and the toe side opening 303 correspond to the opening end 103 and the opening end 102 of the knitted fabric 100. Thus, the protector 300 is realized which is not easy to be loose at the toe side opening 303 and has little foreign body sensation.

[0114] The protector 300a is a protector formed by folding back the toe side opening 303 on the protector 300. In the protector 300a, the knitted fabric main body 301 is knitted into a cylindrical shape from the insertion and removal opening 302 and knitted to the toe side opening 303. In addition, the folded back portion 305 is knitted continuously with the knitted fabric main body 301 to the connecting portion 304 so as to be folded back inside the knitted fabric main body 301 at the toe side opening 303. The end 306 of the folded back portion 305 may also be connected to the knitted fabric main body 301 at the connecting portion 304 over the entire circumference. In addition, the end 306 is formed with a terminal processing portion W.

[0115] The protector 300b is a protector formed by folding back the side of the wearing and removing opening 302 of the protector 300a. Specifically, in the protector 300b, the knitted fabric main body 301 is knitted into a cylindrical shape from the opening end 308 and knitted to the wearing and removing opening 302. At the wearing and removing opening 302, the knitted fabric main body 301 is folded back outward and knitted to the toe side opening 303. The knitted fabric main body 301 folded back outward at the wearing and removing opening 302 and knitted to the position of the opening end 308 may be knitted to the toe side opening 303 after being connected over the entire circumference of the opening end 308. The structure of the toe side opening 303 is the same as that of the protector 300a.

[0116] The protector 300c is a protector in which the knitted fabric main body 301 is double-layered. In the protector 300c, the connecting portion 304 in the protector 300a is the insertion and removal opening 302.

[0117] In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above, and for example, two tubular knitted fabrics 100 may be connected at their respective open ends 102 to form leggings or the like.

[0118] In this way, by manufacturing a wearing article using the knitted fabric 100 in a wearing article, it is possible to realize a wearing article in which the end portion on the knitting end side is less likely to become loose and which has less foreign body sensation when touched.

[0119] [Implementation method 3]

[0120] As described in the above embodiment, the knitted fabric 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can be knitted by applying the connection technology to the terminal processing portion. In the past, the connection technology was used as a technology for connecting knitted fabrics in the process of closing the opening of a tubular knitted body in the manufacturing process of socks to form a toe portion. Figure 10 to Figure 15 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a general connection process in the knitting process of the sock 500. Figure 10 to Figure 15 , in the knitting process of socks 500 Fig.10 The case where the toe portion 502 shown is connected will be described.

[0121] In the knitting process of the socks 500, first, as Fig.10 As shown in FIG. 1 , a knitted fabric body 500U having a wearing and unwearing opening 501 and a toe portion 502 formed therein as a base of a sock 500 is knitted. In the knitted fabric body 500U, an opening 510 is formed at the toe portion 502. A connecting row 503 is formed near the opening 510 of the toe portion 502. The connecting row 503 has a connecting needle 601 (see FIG. 1 ) for inserting. Fig.11 ) are knitted in the same row over the entire circumference.

[0122] Next, turn the braided body 500U over, as shown in FIG. Fig.11 As shown, the connecting needle 601 is inserted into the stitches of the connecting row 503 of the toe portion 502. Specifically, the connecting needle 601 is first inserted into the stitches of the connecting row 503A on the sole side one by one. Then, the same connecting needle 601 is further inserted into the stitches of the connecting row 503A on the sole side and the stitches of the connecting row 503B on the instep side corresponding to the connecting row 503A on the sole side, and the connecting needle 601 is inserted into the stitches of the connecting row 503B on the instep side.

[0123] The stitches of the connecting row 503B on the instep side corresponding to the stitches of the connecting row 503A on the sole side are the boundaries 504 (see Fig.10 ) starts with the same number of coils. Thus, Fig.11 As shown, one connection needle 601 is inserted into the loop on the sole side and the corresponding loop on the instep side one by one.

[0124] After that, the waste yarn portion 505 on the side closer to the opening 510 than the connecting row 503 is untied and removed by hand to form Fig.12 status, such as Fig.13 As shown, the connection is performed using a connection sewing machine 600. Specifically, as Fig.12 As shown, with connecting yarn 506 (refer to Fig.13 ) fixes the stitches of the connecting row 503B on the instep side and the stitches of the connecting row 503A on the sole side corresponding to the stitches.

[0125] When the connection is complete, the connecting yarn 506 is cut, as shown in FIG. Fig.14 As shown, the sock 500 is taken out from the connecting needle 601, and when the knitted body 500U is turned over, the sock 500 is completed ( Fig.15 ).

[0126] 〔Summarize〕

[0127] The knitted fabric involved in mode 1 of the present invention comprises: a knitted fabric main body, which has an open end portion opened at one end on the knitting end side; and an end processing portion, which includes a plurality of connecting coils woven along a specific horizontal row, and the specific horizontal row is one of the plurality of horizontal rows of the knitted fabric main body located on the side of the open end portion, and the end processing portion connects the coils arranged adjacent to each other on the specific horizontal row through the connecting coils.

[0128] According to the above structure, the adjacent loops in a specific row are connected by the connecting loops, thereby reinforcing the opening end, so that the opening end is not easy to loosen. Thus, the opening end can be prevented from loosening without using a heat-fusible elastic fiber.

[0129] In addition, since the adjacent coils on a specific row are connected by a single connecting coil, the number of connecting coils required between the connecting coils can be reduced, and the thickness of the opening end can be avoided. Therefore, the foreign body feeling when touching the opening end is suppressed.

[0130] As a result, it is possible to realize a knitted fabric in which the end portion on the knitting end side is unlikely to become loose and which does not feel like a foreign body when touched.

[0131] In the knitted fabric according to the second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the terminal processing portion may be knitted over the entire circumference of the specific course.

[0132] According to the above-mentioned configuration, since the terminal processing portion is knitted over the entire circumference of the specific course, it is possible to reliably suppress the opening end from becoming loose.

[0133] In the knitted fabric involved in mode 3 of the present invention, it is also possible that, in the above-mentioned mode 1 or 2, the specific horizontal row is an inner horizontal row located closer to the inside than the final horizontal row on the side of the opening end, and the terminal processing part is knitted from the inner horizontal row to the final horizontal row.

[0134] According to the above configuration, since the terminal processing portion is knitted in a plurality of courses on the side of the opening end, the terminal processing portion can be knitted more reliably into the knitted fabric main body.

[0135] In the knitted fabric according to aspect 4 of the present invention, in aspect 1 or 2 above, the plurality of courses may be within five courses from the opening end side.

[0136] According to the above configuration, the stitches adjacent to each other in a specific row can be appropriately fixed.

[0137] In the knitted fabric according to aspect 5 of the present invention, in any one of aspects 1 to 4 described above, the yarn knitted into the knitted fabric main body may become thinner toward the final course on the opening end side.

[0138] According to the above configuration, the thickness of the knitted fabric main body on the opening end side can be suppressed. Thus, even when the terminal processing portion is knitted at the opening end, the foreign body sensation at the opening end can be further reduced.

[0139] In the knitted fabric according to aspect 6 of the present invention, in any one of aspects 1 to 5, the number of yarns used to knit the knitted fabric main body may decrease toward the final course on the opening end side.

[0140] According to the above configuration, the thickness of the knitted fabric main body on the opening end side can be suppressed. Thus, even when the terminal processing portion is knitted at the opening end, the foreign body sensation at the opening end can be further reduced.

[0141] In addition, a wearing article can be realized by using the knitted fabrics of the embodiments 1 to 6. According to the above-mentioned structure, a wearing article can be realized which does not cause a foreign body sensation at the knitting end portion of the knitted fabric even when worn.
