Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Industrial application field" The present invention relates to a stitch display device of a stitch dial provided on a carriage of a hand knitting machine.

“Prior Art” Conventionally, a so-called simple hand knitting machine that uses a synthetic resin integrated needle bed, is inexpensive, lightweight, and simple, has been widely used.
Recently, a hand knitting machine has been put on the market, in which the pitch of knitting needles on the needle bed can be varied between 4.5 mm pitch and 9 mm pitch, and the knitting can be carried out with one carriage.

The carriage of the hand-knitting machine used for the needle bed type with variable knitting needle pitch interval is shown in Fig. 2, and the display scale 2 of the stitch dial 1 is provided with numbers at equal intervals from "1" to "14". However, these numbers mean the number of stick needles.

The display scale 2 is used as the bar needle number, as shown in FIG. 5, the bar needle itself has a different thickness depending on the number, and the relationship of the thread to be used is different. It is thought that even a person who is familiar with hand knitting with this knitting can easily perform knitting operation with this feeling of hand knitting, especially by adjusting the stitches, as a result, it has been displayed from the above-mentioned simple type knitting machine. is there.

Therefore, in the carriage of the conventional hand knitting machine, since the display scale 2 indicates the number of the bar needle, as shown for reference in FIG. 3 and FIG. 2 shows the state of FIG.
This means that it is possible to knit in the same manner as when knitting a fine thread, for example, a thick knitting thread, using the needle bar No. 3,
The stitches shown in the figure are knit in a slightly small (tight) state,
Also, the stitch dial shows a state in which "14" on the display scale 2 is aligned with the index 3, which means that the needle needle 14 is used to knit just the same thread, for example, the same as when knitting a very thick knitting thread. In a sense, the stitches are large (loosely) knitted as shown in FIG.

"Problems to be solved by the invention" When the knitting needle pitch interval of the needle bed is different, the knitting yarn to be used also differs depending on the individual pitch specifications.
Although the pull-in amount of the knitting cam which performs the knitting action is also different, the width of the pull-in amount has to be enlarged and displayed in order to keep the pull-in amount in each pitch specification in one carriage.

In other words, in the above-mentioned conventional carriage, the number of bar needle numbers was expanded from "1" to "14" and the numbers on each display scale were displayed in one step at equal intervals, but in this case, at a certain retracted amount, There was an overlap in each pitch specification.

That is, when the above-mentioned conventional hand knitting machine has a knitting needle pitch interval of 4.5 mm, the knitting yarn to be used is also thin or medium-thick and, for example, "1" to "6" or "7" on the display scale of the bar needle number display.
At the time of 9 mm, since the knitting yarn of the thick, medium-thick or extra-thick is used, the display scale is, for example, "6" to "14". The display overlapped around "6" or "7".

However, as described above, when the knitting needle pitch interval is different, the pull-in amount is different. Therefore, even if the display position and this interval are different with the pitch specifications of 4.5 mm and 9 mm before and after this overlapping “6” or “7”. In spite of this, in the above-mentioned conventional carriage, there is a problem that the gauge of the stitches knitted at the intermediate position before and after "6" or "7" is misaligned due to the constant position display at equal intervals, and as a result, it is not accurate. The drawback was that it could not be knitted with beautiful stitches.

Therefore, the present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems by dividing and displaying the display scale according to each pitch specification.

"Means for Solving the Problems" The present invention is to display the display scales of the bar needle number of the stitch dial of the carriage in a plurality of stages while having overlapping display portions.

[Operation] According to the present invention, by displaying the display scale of the bar needle number in a plurality of stages, the correct display position corresponding to each pitch interval can be determined, and thereby accurate gauge knitting can be performed.

[Embodiment] The details will be described with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment embodying the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 4 denotes a carriage base plate, which in this embodiment is a carriage for argyle knitting.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a carriage cover which covers the upper surface of the carriage base plate 4, on which a stitch dial 1 is rotatably provided, and a knitting cam 6 which performs a knitting action by a known mechanism by this turning operation slides in the front-back direction. To be done.

On the upper surface of the stitch dial 1, there is a knitting needle pitch interval of 6.5 on the outer circumference.
Mark 7 for indicating the needle bed of millimeters, followed by a display scale 2a with numbers of "R" and "3" to "9" bar needle numbers, and a knitting needle pitch interval on the inner peripheral side. A mark 8 for indicating a needle bed of 9 mm is displayed, and a display scale 2b having numbers of "6" to "14" for bar needle numbers is displayed subsequently.

Reference numeral 3 is an index for indicating the display scales 2a and 2b with the numbers of the needle numbers, which are marked on the carriage cover 4.

W indicates the range of the display portion where these display scales 2a and 2b overlap on the inner and outer circumferences.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), a sliding surface 9 is provided on the rear surface of the back surface of the carriage base plate 4, and a front partition wall 10 and a rear partition wall cam 11 are provided in front of and behind the substantially triangular knitting cam 6 in the center. And are formed.

12 and 13 shown in FIGS. 6 (b) and 6 (c) are knitting needle pitch intervals (indicated by sinker needle intervals in the figure) 6.5 mm and 9 mm, respectively.
The needle beds integrally molded of synthetic resin with millimeters are shown. The needle beds 12 and 13 are fitted behind the needle beds 12 and 13 when they are mounted on the sliding surface 9. Rear rails 14, 15 of width are provided respectively.

Knitting needles 18 and 19 having a common length and a different width from the hooks 16 and 17 are slidably provided on the needle beds 12 and 13, respectively.

20 and 21 show bats of knitting needles 18 and 19, and 22 and 23 show rotatably known trochanters fitted to the bats 20 and 21, respectively.

This embodiment is configured as described above, and each knitting needle with the knitting cam 6 by the display of each display scale 2a, 2b of the stitch dial 1 is described below.
Explain the relationship between 18, 19 and the amount of withdrawal.

Using the needle bed 12 at 6.5 mm pitch intervals in Fig. 6 (b),
When the "R" on the display scale 2a of the stitch dial 1 and the index 3 are aligned, the knitting needle 18 at the solid line position of the knitting cam 6 in the same figure (b).
As shown in the figure, the pulling-in amount becomes the minimum position, and the stitches are knitted small.

Similarly, when the number "9" on the display scale 2a and the index 3 are aligned, the knitting cam 6 is positioned at the alternate long and short dash line and the knitting needle 18
The maximum amount of pull-in is large and the stitches can be knitted large, and the knitting cam 6 can be positioned at any switching position between "R" and "9".

Next, when the carriage base plate 4 is mounted and knitted on the needle bed 13 at 9 mm pitch intervals shown in FIG. 6 (C), when "6" on the display scale 2b of the stitch dial 1 is aligned with the index 3. , The knitting cam 6 is located at the solid line position in the figure, the drawing amount of the knitting needle 19 is minimum, and when the display scale 2b is "14", the knitting cam 6 is at the one-dot chain line position, and the drawing amount of the knitting needle 19 is maximum. Becomes

As a result, as shown in FIGS. 6 (b) and 6 (c), the needle bed 12
When the maximum withdrawal amount is displayed, "9" on the scale 2a and needle bed 13
At this time, there is a portion X where the drawing amount overlaps with the display mark 2b of the minimum drawing amount position at the time of "6", and this part X should be displayed as the overlapping display part W of the stitch dial 1, and the other parts respectively. By dividing the display scales 2a and 2b into the outer circumference portion and the inner circumference portion of the circumference of the stitch dial 1 and displaying them in two steps, the knitting with the desired stitch can be always performed at the accurate display position. It is something that can be done.

In the present invention, the carriage is shown as an example of a carriage exclusively for argyle knitting, but the invention is not limited to this, and a normal carriage such as a flat knitting may be used, and the knitting cam is not a triangle but a general k-shaped knitting. A cam is also good.

Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the example in which the pitch intervals of the needle beds are 6.5 mm and 9 mm pitch is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a needle bed in which the pitch interval can be varied with one needle bed is used. It is also good.

Further, although the display scale of the stitch dial is displayed in two steps in this embodiment, it may be displayed in three or more steps.

[Effect of the device] Since the present device is configured as described above, the display scale of the bar needle number for the needle beds with different knitting needle pitch intervals is provided on the inner and outer circumferences of the circumference of the knitting dial individually at different positions in multiple stages. By displaying and having the overlapping display part at a part of the inner and outer peripheral positions, the correct display position according to the difference in each pitch specification can be definitely determined even with the same drawing amount, and thereby The problem of knitting with a wrong gauge as in the past is solved, and knitting can always be done with accurate and beautiful stitches.

Further, by displaying a plurality of display scales on the stitch dial of one carriage, it is possible to eliminate the waste of manufacturing stitch dials which are separately displayed for needle beds having different pitch specifications. It is a thing.

Of course, as a merit for the user side, one carriage can be used for multiple needle beds of different pitches without having to purchase a knitting machine set (needle bed and special carriage) with different pitches. There is also the effect that you can obtain satisfaction both economically and by hand.
