Description

Method to incorporate initial ends and / or Knitting yarn ends to a knitwear.

The present invention relates to a method to incorporate initial and / or final ends of knitting yarn to a knitwear made with a knitting machine.

In knitted pieces that are made without cutting custom made and made up of several individual pieces joined together each other using an overlock sewing technique, such as example, necks, views, pocket wallets and so-called fully-fashioned genres, the uniformity of Borders is of great importance. The same applies to the pieces of point made completely with a rectilinear knitting machine.

Therefore, in such knitted pieces, the thread ends in the edge area are usually incorporated into the Knitwear through a laborious manual method. For it, each end of thread is cut to a certain length and then is inserted into the hook of a fine knitting needle to do so go through the central plane of the knitwear. This procedure, which can only be done manually, it takes a lot of time and It has a high cost, especially when it comes to pieces of point that, due to frequent changes of color, present many ends of thread to finish.

From EP 0 854 219 A2 a method is known for incorporate the initial and final ends of yarn into genres knitted tubular already finished, where the formation of meshes for elaborate these genera only occurs with every two needles, as much. To incorporate the initial or final ends of the thread, insert a thread into an empty needle then form a mesh with this needle and then moving the mesh to a needle that already It wears a mesh of this knitwear. However, this method does not It can be applied to double-knit knitwear in which each needle forms meshes. In addition, the known method requires operations Mesh transfer.

EP 0 900 867 A2 describes the incorporation of end and initial ends of yarn to a double knitwear fontura with horizontal stripes of different color, in which, at end of a horizontal color stripe and with the color thread corresponding, a final row of meshes is formed in a font of needles, floating the thread through the last row row needles. The incorporation of the thread end it is done by forming meshes with the thread of the new color in it needle size.

The present invention aims to propose a method to safely incorporate the initial extremes and thread endings to a double-knit knitwear, this being realizable method in a knitting machine without the need for mesh transfer operations.

The task is solved by first method to incorporate an initial and / or final thread end to knit a double-knit knitwear, made in a knitting through needles adjacent to needle pockets anterior and posterior of said knitting machine, where, then, the initial end or the end end of the knitting yarn is placed floating through several needles and then inserted as retained point on a needle that carries a mesh, before, in the reverse direction of knitting and starting with the mesh following the point of retention of the same needle size, form retention points only with needles of the same size of needles in the flotation zone.

In a second method, according to the invention, to incorporate an initial and / or final end of knitting yarn to a double knitted knitwear, made in a knitting machine to through adjacent needles of the anterior needle sizes and posterior of said knitting machine, then the initial end or thread end is floated through several needles and then it is inserted as a retention point in a needle that carries a mesh in a needle font, before, in the sense inverse of knitting, the initial end or the end end is floated through the needle that carries the point of retained and the needles of the first flotation and is inserted as a retention point on the last needle of the same font of needles of the first flotation. Also with this method they can the initial and final ends are incorporated into the knitting piece of thread when there are changes of color or material in said piece.

In addition, the invention proposes a method for incorporate an initial end of yarn into a double knitwear  fontura, made in a knitting machine through adjacent needles of the anterior and posterior needle sizes of said knitting machine, where, then, the initial end of the knitting yarn is placed in flotation through several needles and then is inserted into a needle that carries a mesh, before, in the reverse direction of knitting and starting with the needle following the retention point of the same needle size, meshes are formed with the needles of the same fonture in the flotation zone. This method allows incorporating the initial ends of thread into any area of the knitwear.

In addition, the invention relates to a method for  incorporate a final end of yarn into a double knitwear fontura, made in a knitting machine through adjacent needles of the anterior and posterior needle sizes of said knitting machine, where, then, with the end of the knitting yarn, they form meshes only with several adjacent needles that carry a mesh in a needle size, before reversing the direction of knitted after the last of these needles and float the end of the thread through these needles, and where the end of the knitting yarn firmly wraps the last of the needles and is being incorporated into the knitwear while going advancing the knitting process.

In all these methods, the incorporation of initial and / or final ends of knitting yarn can be performed preferably in the area of the edges of the knitwear where, as a rule, changes in color or material.

For this, the incorporation of the thread can be carried out with a distance between the flotation zone and the edges of the knitwear. Naturally it is also possible incorporate the threads in the central part of the knitwear.

In addition, the invention relates to parts of point with initial and / or final ends of knitting yarn incorporated into the knitwear by a method according to the invention.

Then, and based on the drawings, it will describe preferred examples of execution of methods of knitted according to the invention.

The neck 10 of fig. 1 presents, in vertical rapport, horizontal stripes in the colors F1 and F2 that alternate. The first horizontal color line 12 receives the knitting thread through a thread guide FF1 from the left side, and the second color line 13, through a thread guide FF2 from the right side. The knitting yarn incorporation zone in the first round of the complete gender 10 is marked with a 15, and the corresponding end end of the yarn, with the reference figure 16. The beginning of the yarn in the second color F2 of the horizontal stripe of color 13 is marked with an 18, and the zone of its incorporation to the genre of point 10, with a 17. In all other horizontal stripes of color, the knitting threads of the currently unused color are dragged on the edge until the Next color stripe. Once the knitting fabric 10 of the knitting machine is detached, the loops 19 and 24 are cut with scissors 300, as schematically shown in fig. 2. Once loops 19 and 24 have been cut, it is necessary that the resulting end and initial ends of yarn be incorporated into the knitted fabric during processing. The areas of incorporation are marked with the figures 20, 21, 25 and 26. The top of the neck is formed by a strip seen
14.

Looking in the direction of arrow X in fig. 1 according to fig. 3, neck 1.0 made as a gender is appreciated double-point knit with 30 mesh and mesh rear 31. The end end 16 of the initial thread 15 protrudes down in the area of the meshes 31 of the back of the knitwear. The end ends of all the following threads stand out laterally after joining the knitwear, as an example shows the end end of thread 19 '.

Figs. 4.1 to 4.4 represent an example of incorporation of the initial thread 15 of the neck 10 of fig. 1, which It is not included in the claimed invention. Fig. 4.1 sample a row of meshes formed with a spacer thread 40 in the fontura of anterior needles V of a rectilinear knitting machine. In fig. 4.2, the initial end 16 of the knitting yarn 50 is placed in flotation from the left edge of the knitwear by passing it by the meshes a to d of the posterior needle size H and, a then the knitting yarn 50 is inserted as a point of retained in the needle e of the posterior needle size with help of thread guide 100. Then, in the direction reverse knitting, knitting yarn 50 is inserted as retained point on needles a through d, except for needle e, in the flotation zone of fig. 4.2. Then according to the fig. 4.4, all needles of the previous needle size V they form meshes, and all the needles of the posterior needle size they form retention points with knitting yarn 50. This is the initial row that makes up the first round of gender 10. Al the needles a until n of the posterior needle size H are ejected and needles A to N of the previous needle size V, so that the thread can be inserted for the initial row, the end end of thread 16 is located below the needles, and the points of retained from needles a to e remain behind the tongue of the needle in question. In this way, the retention points of the needles a up to e form a flotation thread 15 which, when remove the needles, slide on the knitting yarn of the initial row. The end of thread 16, which is then cut, is below the initial row (fig. 4.4), and the end of thread 15 It is above the initial row and is incorporated into the genre. The incorporation of flotation thread 15, as well as wrapping of the needle e by the thread 50 take care that the knitting already I can't get rid. Naturally, the incorporation of the thread of knitting 50 could also be done on the needle size anterior V, instead of the posterior needle size H, always that with the separator thread 40 meshes have formed in the fontura of posterior needles H.

Figs. 5.1 to 5.10 now represent a first possibility, according to the invention, to incorporate the initial threads 21 and 25, as well as the final threads 20 and 26, of the horizontal colored stripes of gender 10 of fig. 1. Fig. 5.1 shows the formation of the last round of the horizontal line of color with knitting yarn 50 of the first color F1. TO then, and according to fig. 5.2, several meshes are formed with the knitting yarn 50 and needles a to e of the needle size posterior H, in the sense of knitting from the left edge in  direction to the center of the genre. Then, and in the opposite direction knitting, knitting yarn 50 is floated to through these same needles a to e of the needle size H, which had previously formed meshes according to fig. 5.2. He flotation thread 19 'is incorporated into the genre as it goes advancing the knitting process. In addition, the needle e is tightly wrapped by knitting yarn 50, so that it is insured in the gender of point 10.

Figs. 5.4 and 5.5 describe the incorporation of knitting yarn 60 for the horizontal line with the second color F2 in fig. 1. First, knitting yarn 60 is placed floating through needles n, m, l and k of the fontura of posterior needles, and then inserted as a retention point in the needle j. In the next row of meshes, according to fig. 5.5, be they form meshes with knitting yarn 60 starting with the needle k in the flotation zone 24 '' of fig. 5.4. Flotation thread 24 '' is incorporated into the genre as the knitting process In addition, the needle j is firmly wrapped by knitting yarn 60, that is, it is secured in The knitwear.

Figs. 5.7 to 5.8 explain the incorporation from the end of knitting yarn 60 to the end of the horizontal line color 13. This is done analogously to incorporation of knitting yarn 50, according to figs. 5.2 and 5.3, with the only difference that incorporation is now done on the edge point gender law. Meshes are formed again through of needles n, m, l, k, and j of the posterior needle size H with knitting yarn 60. Then, in the reverse direction knitting, the knitting yarn 60 is passed as the 24 'flotation through these needles (fig. 5.8). End end of knitting yarn 60 is now secured in the knitwear 10.

Then, in figs. 5.9 to 5.10, the incorporation of knitting yarn 50 that makes up the following horizontal color stripe. This is done again in a way analogous to the incorporation of knitting yarn 60 according to figs. 5.4 and 5.5, but this time on the left edge of the knitwear. The knitting yarn 50 is floated through the needles a to d of the posterior needle size H, and it is subsequently inserted as a retention point in the needle e. According to fig. 5.10, and when the sense of knitting is reversed, they form meshes with knitting yarn 50 starting with the needle d in the flotation zone 19 '' of fig. 5.9 with the waters up to d of the posterior needle size H.

Figs. 6.1 to 6.10 refer to a second possibility to incorporate the initial ends 21 and 25 as well as the end ends 20 and 26 of the two knitting yarns 50 and 60. Figs. 6.1 to 6.3 show the assurance of the end of the knitting yarn 50 after the last row of horizontal color stripe meshes (fig. 6.1). First, the thread of knitting 50 is floated through the needles to until d of the posterior needle size H, and then inserted as a retention point in the needle e (fig. 6.2). Then, it reverse the knitting direction and the thread 50 is placed in flotation through needles e, d, c and b, and is inserted as needle retention point a. Since the needle e is firmly wrapped by thread 50, and that the two threads of flotation 20 and 19 'are being incorporated into the knitwear to as the knitting process progresses, the end end of thread 50 is secured.

Figs. 6.4 and 6.5 show the incorporation of thread 60 at the beginning of the horizontal line in the second color F2 Again the knitting yarn 60 is floated to through needles n, m, l and k of the rear needle font H, and is inserted as a retention point in the needle j. TO then, the sense of knitting and the thread of knitting is floated through needles j, k, l and m of the posterior needle size H, and is inserted as a point of  retained in needle n (fig. 6.5). Here, the needle j is tightly wrapped by thread 60. In addition, flotation threads 24 '' and 25 are incorporated into the knitwear as you go advancing the knitting process, so that the initial end of thread 60 is secured.

Figs. 6.7 and 6.8 refer to the incorporation of the end end of knitting yarn 60 at the edge point gender law. For this, the thread 60 is placed in flotation through needles n, m, l and k of the fontura of posterior needles H and is inserted as a retention point in the needle j (fig. 6.7), before, in the opposite direction of knitted, the thread 60 is floated through the needles j to m, and then inserted as a retention point in the needle n. Here also there is an incorporation of the threads of flotation 26 and 24 'as the process of knitted.

In addition, the needle j is firmly wrapped by thread 60, so that it is secured in the genre of point.

Figs. 6.9 and 6.10 describe the incorporation from the initial end of knitting yarn 50 for the next line horizontal color For this, the thread 50 is floated through needles a through d, starting at the left edge of the point genre towards the center of it, and then it is inserted as a retention point in the needle e. Once invested in the knitting direction, the thread 50 is floated to through needles e, d, c and b, and is inserted as a point of retained in the needle a (fig. 6.10), thus being secured in the knitwear.

Finally, figs. 7.1 to 7.10 refer to a third possibility to incorporate the initial ends 21 and 25, as well as the endpoints 20 and 26, to a knitwear, this method corresponding to that of fig. 4 to incorporate the thread initial of the knitwear. According to fig. 7.2, and to ensure your end end, knitting yarn 50, as flotation thread 20, it is floated through the needles a until d of the needle size H, starting from the left side of the genre of point towards the center of it, and then inserted as a retention point in the needle e. Once the direction is reversed knitting, and starting with the needle d, stitches are formed retained with the thread 50 in the flotation zone in the fontura of rear needles H, as shown in fig. 7.3. Since the needle e is firmly wrapped by the base thread 50, and since the thread of flotation 20 and flotation thread 19 ', which is formed with the needle retention points d to a, are incorporated into the knitwear as the knitting process progresses, the thread 50 is secured.

Figs. 7.4 and 7.5 describe the incorporation from the initial end of the next knitting yarn 60. This is placed in flotation starting from the right edge of the genre of point towards the center of it through needles n, m, l and k, and then inserted as a retention point in the needle j (fig. 7.4). Then, and once inverted the sense of knitted, retention points are formed with needles k, l, m and n and the thread 60. The flotation thread 24 'and the flotation thread 25, which is formed with the needle retention points k, l, m and n, are incorporated into the knitwear as it goes advancing the knitting process.

Figs. 7.7 to 7.8 refer to insurance of the end end of thread 60 on the right edge of the genre of point. Again a flotation is done through the needles n to k, and a retention point is inserted in the needle j (fig. 7.7), before retention points are formed with the needles k up to n in the reverse direction of knitting.

Figs. 7.9 to 7.10 show assurance of the initial end of knitting yarn 50. Thread 50, as thread of flotation 19 '', is placed in flotation from the edge left of the knitwear through needles a through d, and it is inserted as a retention point in the needle e. One time reversed the sense of knitting, retention points are formed with needles d, c, b and a (fig. 7.10). In this way, the end Initial thread 50 is secured in the knitwear.

The methods of incorporation of extremes initials and endings of knitting yarn, shown in figs. 4 a 7, they have all been made in the posterior needle size H, but they could also be done in the previous needle size V. Likewise, the number of needles that participate in The incorporation process. In addition, the initial extremes and thread ends can not only be incorporated into the areas of the edges of the knitwear, but also in the central area of the same.
