Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a knitted fabric having a cord pattern and a method for knitting the cord pattern. Background Art

[0002] A cord pattern can be knitted within the knitting width of a base knitted fabric portion using a flat knitting machine. The cord pattern is a texture pattern knitted by switching the positions of a first coil row and a second coil row juxtaposed within the knitting width of the base knitted fabric portion. For example, as a method for knitting a cord pattern, a method for knitting a cord pattern in which the positions of the first coil row and the second coil row are continuously switched using horizontal movement and transfer of loops is well known.

[0003] If the number of coils in the first coil row and the second coil row constituting the cord pattern is large, it is difficult to continuously switch the positions of the first coil row and the second coil row. For example, when the number of coils in each coil row is 4 or more, when switching between the first coil row and the second coil row, there is a case where the knitting yarn connecting the first coil row and the base knitted fabric portion and the knitting yarn connecting the second coil row and the base knitted fabric portion are disconnected. To address such a problem, in Patent Document 1, a method for knitting a cord pattern is disclosed in which the cord pattern is knitted while gradually switching the coils of the first coil row and the second coil row in order to suppress breakage of the yarn.

[0007] Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0008] In the method for knitting a cord pattern in Patent Document 1, since the cord pattern can be knitted without being limited by the texture pattern of the base knitted fabric portion and the knitting width of the cord pattern, the number of knitting steps increases.

[0009] One object of the present invention is to provide a method for knitting a cord pattern that can simply and easily knit a cord pattern regardless of the knitting width of the cord pattern, and a knitted fabric obtained by the method for knitting the cord pattern.

[0010] Means for Solving the Problems

[0011] The knitted fabric having a cord pattern of the present invention includes a base knitted fabric portion and a cord pattern disposed within the knitting width of the base knitted fabric portion.

[0012] The base knitted fabric portion includes a first base portion and a second base portion that sandwich the cord pattern in the knitting width direction of the base knitted fabric portion.

[0013] The above-mentioned cord pattern has a first cord pattern portion and a second cord pattern portion that cross repeatedly in the weft width direction of the above-mentioned base fabric portion while extending in the wale direction of the above-mentioned base fabric portion.

[0014] The woven fabric of this cord pattern is characterized in that

[0015] The above-mentioned first cord pattern portion has a first switching portion that crosses the above-mentioned second cord pattern portion.

[0016] The above-mentioned second cord pattern portion has a second switching portion that crosses the above-mentioned first cord pattern portion.

[0017] The above-mentioned first switching portion and the above-mentioned second switching portion are each composed of a plurality of coil rows continuous in the wale direction.

[0018] The number ratio of the above-mentioned plurality of coil rows is larger than the number of coil rows continuous in the wale direction of the above-mentioned base fabric portion at the portion where the above-mentioned first switching portion and the above-mentioned second switching portion cross.

[0019] The above-mentioned first switching portion and the above-mentioned second switching portion are not connected to each other, nor are they connected to the above-mentioned first base portion and the above-mentioned second base portion.

[0020] As a mode of the woven fabric having the cord pattern of the present invention, the following mode can be cited, that is,

[0022] The number of coil rows continuous in the wale direction in the above-mentioned second switching portion is 50% or more and 120% or less of the number of coils arranged side by side in the weft width direction in the above-mentioned second switching portion.

[0023] The cord pattern weaving method of the present invention weaves a cord pattern arranged within the weft width of a base fabric portion using a flat knitting machine having a first needle bed and a second needle bed facing each other, and the first needle bed and the second needle bed can be relatively horizontally shifted. The cord pattern weaving method is characterized in that

[0024] In the above-mentioned first needle bed, process A, process B, and process C are performed from a state where a first base coil row, a first coil row, a second coil row, and a second base coil row are arranged side by side in the weft width direction

[0025] In the above-mentioned process A, the number of coil courses of the above-mentioned first coil row is increased without weaving the above-mentioned first base coil row, the above-mentioned second coil row, and the above-mentioned second base coil row.

[0033] The above step B includes step B1 and step B2.

[0034] This step B1 moves the second base coil row to the second needle bed.

[0035] This step B2 repeatedly knits a new second coil row continuous in the wale direction of the second coil row after the second needle bed is horizontally shifted relative to the first needle bed in the second direction.

[0036] [Effect of the Invention]

[0037] The knitted fabric with corduroy pattern of the present invention can be easily knitted by the above - mentioned knitting method of the corduroy pattern of the present invention. The knitting method of the corduroy pattern of the present invention can easily knit the corduroy pattern regardless of the knitting width of the corduroy pattern. The knitting method of the corduroy pattern of the present invention is particularly effective when the number of coils in the knitting width direction of each of the first swapping part and the second swapping part is 4 or more. Therefore, a knitted fabric with a corduroy pattern with a high degree of freedom in design can be knitted. The knitted fabric with such a corduroy pattern can meet the diverse needs of consumers.

[0038] In the knitted fabric with a corduroy pattern according to the present invention, the number of knitted loop rows of the first replacement part and the number of knitted loop rows of the second replacement part in the replacement area are large. Here, the number of knitted loop rows refers to the number of loop rows arranged side by side in the loop longitudinal direction. If the number of knitted loop rows of the first replacement part and the number of knitted loop rows of the second replacement part are large, a corduroy pattern is three-dimensionally formed in the replacement area. Therefore, the knitted fabric with a corduroy pattern according to the present invention is excellent in appearance.

[0039] In the knitted fabric with a corduroy pattern according to the present invention, if the number of loop rows of the replacement part is 50% or more of the number of loops of the replacement part, it is difficult to generate a broken thread in the replacement area when knitting the knitted fabric with a corduroy pattern. In addition, if the number of loop rows of the replacement part is 120% or less of the number of loops of the replacement part, the relaxation of the corduroy pattern in the replacement area can be suppressed.

[0040] According to the corduroy knitting method of the present invention, it is possible to easily knit a corduroy pattern regardless of the knitting width of the corduroy pattern. In the corduroy knitting method of the present invention, after knitting only a plurality of first loop rows continuous in the loop longitudinal direction, only a plurality of second loop rows continuous in the loop longitudinal direction are knitted. By doing so, the first base loop row, the first loop row, the second loop row, and the second base loop row are separated. Therefore, even if the positions of the first loop row and the second loop row are continuously replaced, it is difficult to generate a broken thread.

[0041] By knitting a new first loop row while gradually moving the first base loop row in the first direction, it is easy to increase the number of new first loop rows continuous in the loop longitudinal direction. In addition, by knitting a new second loop row while gradually moving the second base loop row in the second direction, it is easy to increase the number of new second loop rows continuous in the loop longitudinal direction. The details of these effects will be described in the embodiments described later. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0046] For implementing the mode of the invention

[0047] Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of a knitted fabric having a cord pattern and a method of knitting the cord pattern will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0048] <Implementation Method 1>

[0049] ≪Knitted fabric with rope pattern≫

[0050] Figure 1 The knitted fabric with a cord pattern in this example, shown in the photograph, comprises a base knitted fabric portion and a cord pattern arranged within the knitting width of the base knitted fabric portion. While the base knitted fabric portion in this example is a ribbed structure, it may also be a plain knitted structure. The knitted fabric with a cord pattern may be a single-layer knitted fabric or a tubular knitted fabric. Hereinafter, "knitted fabric with a cord pattern" will be simply referred to as "knitted fabric."

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown in the schematic diagram of FIG, the base knitted fabric portion 2 provided on the knitted fabric 1 includes a first base portion 21 and a second base portion 22 sandwiching the cord pattern 3 in the knitting width direction of the base knitted fabric portion 2. On the other hand, the cord pattern 3 includes a first cord pattern portion 31 and a second cord pattern portion 32. The first cord pattern portion 31 and the second cord pattern portion 32 extend toward the longitudinal direction of the coils of the base knitted fabric portion 2 while repeatedly crossing each other in the knitting width direction of the base knitted fabric portion 2. Figure 2 In the figure, the first cord portion 31 is indicated by a 135° hatching, and the second cord portion 32 is indicated by a 45° hatching. The wale directions of the first cord portion 31 and the second cord portion 32 are indicated by bold or dashed arrows. No hatching is applied to the base portions 21 and 22.

[0052] The cord 3 includes a switching region 30 in which the positions of the first cord portion 31 and the second cord portion 32 in the weaving width direction are switched by the intersection of the first cord portion 31 and the second cord portion 32. The portion of the first cord portion 31 corresponding to the switching region 30 is the first switching portion 3A. Figure 2 In the figure, the portion divided by two double-dot chain lines extending obliquely to the lower right is the first exchange portion 3A. On the other hand, the portion of the second rope pattern portion 32 corresponding to the exchange region 30 is the second exchange portion 3B. Figure 2 In the figure, the portion demarcated by two two-dot chain lines extending obliquely upward and to the right is the second exchange section 3B. In this example, the first exchange section 3A is located behind the second exchange section 3B. The knitting width direction of the first exchange section 3A, indicated by the dotted arrow, intersects the wale direction of the first exchange section 3A. On the other hand, the knitting width direction of the second exchange section 3B, indicated by the bold arrow, intersects the wale direction of the second exchange section 3B.

[0053] Both ends of the first replacement part 3A indicated by the blank arrows are not connected to the first base part 21, nor to the second replacement part 3B, nor to the second base part 22. In addition, both ends of the second replacement part 3B indicated by the filled arrows are not connected to the first base part 21, nor to the first replacement part 3A, nor to the second base part 22. The parts of the first cord pattern part 31 and the second cord pattern part 32 other than the first replacement part 3A and the second replacement part 3B are connected to the base fabric part 2 in the weaving width direction of the base fabric part 2. The first cord pattern part 31 and the second cord pattern part 32 are connected to each other in the parts other than the first replacement part 3A and the second replacement part 3B.

[0054] The first replacement part 3A and the second replacement part 3B are each composed of a plurality of coil rows continuous in the coil wale direction. The number of the plurality of coil rows is larger than the number of the coil rows continuous in the coil wale direction of the base fabric part 2 at the part where the first replacement part 3A and the second replacement part 3B cross. In each of the replacement parts 3A and 3B in this example, the number of coils in the weaving width direction of each coil row is the same. The number of the coil rows continuous in the coil wale direction in the first replacement part 3A is preferably 50% or more and 120% or less of the number of coils arranged side by side in the weaving width direction in the first replacement part 3A. In addition, the number of the coil rows continuous in the coil wale direction in the second replacement part 3B is preferably 50% or more and 120% or less of the number of coils arranged side by side in the weaving width direction in the second replacement part 3B. For example, if the number of coils arranged side by side in the weaving width direction is 10 turns, the number of the coil rows arranged side by side in the coil wale direction is preferably 5 rows or more and 12 rows or less. The number of coils in the weaving width direction of the first replacement part 3A is preferably 4 turns or more. There is no upper limit for this number of coils. For example, it can be 6 turns or more, or 8 turns or more, or 12 turns or more. The above number of coils can be determined according to the design of the fabric 1.

[0055] The number of coils in the weaving width direction of the first replacement part 3A and the number of coils in the weaving width direction of the second replacement part 3B can be the same or different. In addition, the number of the coil rows of the first replacement part 3A can be the same as or different from the number of the coil rows of the second replacement part 3B.

[0056] In the fabric 1 of this example, the first replacement part 3A and the second replacement part 3B are formed by increasing the number of knitting courses in the replacement area 30. Therefore, the cord pattern 3 is three-dimensional and excellent in appearance. In addition, in the fabric 1 of this example, neither end of the first replacement part 3A in the knitting width direction is connected to any part, nor is either end of the second replacement part 3B in the knitting width direction connected to any part. Therefore, even if the fabric 1 is stretched in the knitting width direction, it is difficult for the thread to break in the replacement area 30.

[0057] ≪Knitting method of cord pattern≫

[0058] The fabric 1 of this example is knitted by a flat knitting machine. The flat knitting machine has a front needle bed and a back needle bed facing each other. Hereinafter, the front needle bed is denoted as FB, and the back needle bed is denoted as BB. FB and BB are configured to be able to move horizontally relative to each other. In this example, a knitting example using a two-needle-bed flat knitting machine in which BB is configured to be able to move horizontally will be described. The flat knitting machine used in knitting may also be a four-needle-bed flat knitting machine.

[0059] Next, an example of the knitting method of the cord pattern using a flat knitting machine will be described based on Figure 3 and Figure 4 's knitting process diagram. Figure 3 、 4 The "S + number" in the left column of 、 represents the number of the knitting process. The state of the coil being held is shown in the right column. In Figure 3 、 4 , FB and BB are represented by thick horizontal lines. In addition, the coil row composed of the coils held on FB and BB is represented by a quadrilateral with hatching.

[0060] In Figure 3 's S0, the state in which the fabric 1 knitted up to the vicinity of the lower end of the replacement area 30 until Figure 2 is held on FB is shown. The fabric 1 of this example is divided into a first base coil row 4, a first coil row 5, a second coil row 6, and a second base coil row 7 in order from the left side of the paper surface. The first base coil row 4, the first coil row 5, the second coil row 6, and the second base coil row 7 are respectively Figure 2 the coil rows constituting the first base part 21, the first cord pattern part 31, the second cord pattern part 32, and the second base part 22 of

[0061] The vertical line indicates the boundary between two adjacent coil rows in the knitting width direction. The coils sandwiching each boundary are connected by sinker loops. For example, the end coil on the right side of the first base coil row 4 and the end coil on the left side of the first coil row 5 are connected by a sinker loop. If the positions of the first coil row 5 and the second coil row 6 are swapped from this state, there will be a case where the sinker loops connecting each boundary are disconnected. In this example, the number of coils in the knitting width direction of the first coil row 5 is 12 turns, and the number of coils in the knitting width direction of the second coil row 6 is also 12 turns. If the positions of the first coil row 5 and the second coil row 6 are swapped in this way, the sinker loops at the boundary are disconnected. Therefore, in this example, the following corduroy knitting method of the present invention is implemented.

[0062] In S1, the first base coil row 4 is moved from FB to BB (corresponding to process A1). The first base coil row 4 and the first coil row 5 are connected by a sinker loop 8a. The sinker loop 8a is the knitting yarn connecting the end coil on the right side of the first base coil row 4 and the end coil on the left side of the first coil row 5.

[0063] In S2, after BB is horizontally shifted 1 pitch to the left direction, a new first coil row 5N is continuously knitted in the coil vertical direction of the first coil row 5 (a part of process A2). The left direction is the first direction 4D in which the first base coil row 4 is arranged among the horizontal shift directions (refer to S0). The knitting in S2 is repeated multiple times. In this example, the knitting in S2 is repeated 9 times. Here, in this example, BB is horizontally shifted 2 pitches in 3 times of S2 among the 9 times of S2. Therefore, after repeating S2 9 times, BB is horizontally shifted 12 pitches to the left direction.

[0064] In S3, it shows the state where the swapping part 3A is completed by knitting a plurality of new first coil rows 5N. The last knitted first coil row 50 is a part of the first swapping part 3A. The left end of the first coil row 5 is connected to the first base coil row 4 via the sinker loop 8a. The right end of the first coil row 5 is connected to the second coil row 6 via the sinker loop 8b.

[0065] As shown in S3, since the first coil row 5 is connected to the first base coil row 4 via the sinker loop 8a, the first switching part 3A is in a state of being stretched to the left. By the first switching part 3A being stretched to the left, the first switching part 3A no longer stays below the needle bed. In normal knitting, the newly knitted fabric part gradually descends below the needle bed by the action of the pulling-down device and the pushing-in of the sinker mechanism. However, if only the new first coil row 5N is added, the downward feeding of the new first coil row 5N is obstructed by the first base coil row 4 and the second coil row 6 connected to the first coil row 5. As a result, the new first coil row 5N stays below the needle bed, and the knitting of the first coil row 5N becomes unstable, for example, in the case where there is no movable sinker. When the number of repetitions of S2 is small, such a problem is difficult to occur. Therefore, when the number of repetitions of S2 is small, the movement in S1 and the lateral movement in S2 are not required.

[0066] In S4, the last first coil row 50 is moved to BB. Twelve empty needles are arranged between the first base coil row 4 and the last first coil row 50. In the subsequent S5, BB is laterally shifted to the right direction (a part of process C). The right direction is the second direction 7D (refer to S0) in which the second base coil row 7 is arranged among the lateral shift directions. The lateral shift amount is 12 pitches, which is the same as the knitting width of the first coil row 50. Therefore, the first coil row 50 is arranged in a front-to-back facing position relative to the second coil row 6.

[0067] In Figure 4 In S6, the second base coil row 7 is moved from FB to BB (corresponding to process B1). Only the last knitted first coil row 50 among the first switching parts 3A is shown in this S6. The second base coil row 7 and the second coil row 6 are connected by the sinker loop 8c. The sinker loop 8c is the knitting yarn that connects the left end coil of the second base coil row 7 and the right end coil of the second coil row 6.

[0068] In S7, after BB is laterally shifted 1 pitch to the right direction (the second direction 7D), a new second coil row 6N is continuously knitted in the coil longitudinal direction of the second coil row 6 (a part of process B2). The knitting in this S7 is repeated many times (the remaining part of process B2). In this example, the knitting in S7 is repeated 9 times. Here, in this example, BB is laterally shifted 2 pitches in 3 out of the 9 times of S7. As a result, BB is laterally shifted 12 pitches to the right direction.

[0069] In this example, the number of coil courses X of the newly knitted second coil row 6N is the same as the number of coil courses Y of the newly knitted first coil row 5N, but the number of coil courses X can be more or less than the number of coil courses Y.

[0070] In S8, the state in which the second replacement part 3B has completed knitting a plurality of new second coil rows 6N is shown. The last knitted second coil row 60 is a part of the second replacement part 3B. By knitting new second coil rows 6N while laterally shifting BB in the second direction 7D, the second replacement part 3B no longer stays below the needle bed.

[0071] As shown in S8, by repeatedly laterally shifting BB in the right direction, a blank area composed of 12 empty needles is arranged at the position of BB facing the second replacement part 3B fixed on FB. The lateral shift of BB in the right direction is also a part of process C. In S9, the second replacement part 3B is moved to this blank area (the remaining part of process C). As a result, the replacement of the first replacement part 3A and the second replacement part 3B is completed. As shown in S9, the first base part 21, the second replacement part 3B, the first replacement part 3A, and the second base part 22 are separated. Therefore, although the number of coils in the knitting width direction of each of the first replacement part 3A and the second replacement part 3B is 12 turns, no thread breakage occurs when replacing the first replacement part 3A and the second replacement part 3B.

[0072] In S10, BB is laterally shifted to the left to eliminate the offset between FB and BB, and the first base part 21, the second replacement part 3B, the first replacement part 3A, and the second base part 22 are moved from BB to FB. After S10, by knitting a coil row continuous in the coil wale direction of all the coils fixed on FB, the part above the replacement area 30 in the coil wale direction is knitted. As a result, the first base part 21, the second ribbed part 32, the first ribbed part 31, and the second base part 22 are connected in the knitting width direction. Figure 2 The above is the translation of the relevant content, and the result is that the first base part 21, the second ribbed part 32, the first ribbed part 31, and the second base part 22 are connected in the knitting width direction.

[0073] In the above embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, an example in which the first replacement part 3A is arranged inside the second replacement part 3B is described. In contrast, the second replacement part 3B can also be arranged inside the first replacement part 3A. In this case, as long as the knitting process shown in Figure 3 、 4 is reversed left and right. The replacement part arranged inside among the first replacement part 3A and the second replacement part 3B is knitted earlier than the replacement part arranged on the front side.
