Method of seaming a knitted fabric piece

Abstract

In a knitting process a knitted flat panel is produced on a needle bed from which it is finally cast off by looping a starting warp stitch on a second needle bed (H, V) not bearing thread. The second needle bed is then shifted towards the next line to be cast off on the first needle bed. The next line to be cast off is then dropped to the line of needles. The two joined lines are then cast off, forming a new common seam.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for trimming a piece of knitted goods on a flat knitting machine having at least two opposing needle beds. Background technique [0002] Different trimming methods are already known which require two stitch transfer processes for trimming a loop. They are thus relatively time-intensive. These time-intensive methods are undesirable especially when producing cylindrical-circular finished knitted goods. These knitwear are entirely constructed on flat knitting machines. The total machine operating time required for its production then consists of the combination of the time for the movement of the slide bar forming the knitting course and the time for the movement of the slide bar in which only the stitches are transferred. In order to be able to produce the entire piece of knitted goods economically, the time for the movement of the slider without loop formation must be minimized as much as possible.

Problems solved by technology

However, especially for cylindrical-circular-finished knitted fabrics, these requirements cannot be fully met according to the prior art sleeve method (Kettelverfahren).
