Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for knitting a rubberless molded sock knitted by a flat knitting machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when knitting socks with a flat knitting machine,
After knitting from the toe part, increasing the number of stitches, knitting the instep part into a substantially straight cylindrical shape, forming the heel part, forming it straight to the foot insertion port, the part from the puffy shin to the foot insertion port After forming a tightening portion into which a rubber thread is inserted over a relatively wide width, a folded portion is formed, and the end portion is processed with an overlock sewing machine, and the end portion is processed by sewing or the like. A rubber thread is inserted for knitting, the knitting is performed almost straight up to the heel portion, and the binding off is performed at the toe portion from the heel portion to the instep portion.

[0003]

However, since a tightening portion into which an elastic thread such as a rubber thread is inserted is formed over a relatively wide width near the insertion port of the foot, the elasticity of the rubber thread is increased. As a result, the foot of the portion was locally tightened, and there was a problem in health.

[0004] Furthermore, not only is there a problem in health due to partial tightening with an elastic thread such as a rubber thread over a relatively wide width in the vicinity of the foot insertion opening, but also there is an unpleasant feeling of tightening. For example, there is a problem that the user takes off immediately after returning home to open his / her feet, and cannot wear it all day. The present invention has been proposed in view of the above problems, and does not locally tighten the feet, does not impair the wearing feeling, enhances the commercial value, and reduces the amount of expensive rubber thread used as much as possible. It is an object of the present invention to provide inexpensively socks that can be worn comfortably even during the day.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a method for knitting a rubberless molded sock according to the present invention uses a flat knitting machine having a pair of needle beds opposed to each other in front and rear, and uses a front and rear needle knitting machine. The knitting yarn is fed in a zigzag manner over the knitting needles of the bed to set up one of the front and rear of the foot insertion port, and the knitting yarn is fed in a zigzag manner over the knitting needles of the front and rear needle beds. The other knitting before and after the insertion opening is knitted to knit a knitted fabric in a tubular shape, and from the foot insertion opening to the ankle portion, the tubular knitting width is gradually reduced by a stitch, and / or the loop length is reduced. Shorten the knitting width according to the ups and downs of the foot from the foot insertion port to the ankle part, omit the rubber thread from the foot insertion port to the toe, or omit the foot insertion port Insert rubber thread only in two or several courses It allows either eliminating the amount of rubber thread to be used when knitting socks, is characterized in that to lose weight as much as possible to.

[0006] Using a flat knitting machine having a pair of needle beds facing each other back and forth, a knitting yarn is fed in a zigzag manner over the knitting needles of the front and rear needle beds to perform knitting from the toe portion, and from the heel portion. By increasing the number of stitches by adding a stitch to the foot insertion opening, and / or by increasing the loop length and widening the knitting width, the knitting width can be adjusted according to the undulation of the foot from the heel to the foot insertion opening. Whether to omit the rubber thread in the knitting of the foot insertion opening, or to insert the rubber thread only in two or several courses of the knitting of the part to reduce the amount of rubber thread used when knitting the sock. One of the features is to reduce the weight as much as possible.

[0007] The rubberless molded sock according to the present invention has an ankle portion formed smaller in diameter than the foot insertion opening by changing the number of stitches and / or a loop length, and a heel portion formed larger in diameter from the ankle portion. And a closed toe portion.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of a rubberless molded sock and a method of knitting the same according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a sock-type sock as shown in FIG. 1 is knitted, and reference numeral 1 in the figure indicates the sock as a whole.

The sock 1 is knitted from the foot insertion opening 2 and has a bulging shin portion 3, a small-diameter ankle portion 4, a swelling heel portion 5, and a gouged arch portion 6.
And the toe portion 7 are sequentially knitted.

Next, an example of a method for knitting the sock 1 using a flat knitting machine (not shown) will be described with reference to knitting course diagrams shown in FIGS. The flat knitting machine has a needle bed in which two knitting needles are slidably inserted in a gauge, and is arranged in front and rear in a "C" shape in a side view in a state where the teeth are close to each other. A known structure is used in which each knitting needle is moved forward and backward by a carriage that slides and runs on the upper surface of each needle bed, and the front and rear needle beds are relatively movable (racking). Although omitted, firstly, the knitting yarn is fed in a zigzag manner over the knitting needles of the front and rear needle beds to set up one of the front and rear of the foot insertion port 2, and further over the knitting needles of the front and rear needle beds. The knitting yarn is fed in a zigzag manner, the other side of the front and back of the foot insertion opening 2 is set up, and the knitting of a tubular knitted fabric starts.

Here, in the case of "Zocchi knitting" as the knitting yarn to be supplied, four yarns, a single yarn of cotton 10 or a double yarn of cotton 20, are used. In the case of ting, three face yarns of cotton 10 single yarn and one back yarn of silk spun yarn 60 double yarn are used. In the case of cotton / wooly nylon plating, the surface yarn is three cotton 10 single yarns, The back yarn is one wooly nylon 50 denier twin yarn or 110 denier single yarn. In the case of cotton / FYT-nylon plating, the front yarn is three cotton No. 10 single yarns and the back yarn is F
One YT30 / 70 is used. In addition, not only the above-mentioned knitting yarn but also wool, a blended yarn thereof, acrylic, nylon and the like can be used.

In the knitting course diagrams shown in FIG. 3 and subsequent figures, the upper and lower alphabets indicate the knitting needles of the front needle bed,
The upper alphabet shows the knitting needles of the rear needle bed, and the upper and lower alphabet letters are paired and attached to one gauge. The positions of the front needle bed and the rear needle bed are The substantially aligned state is set as a reference position, and the movement amount (the number of pitches) is all displayed from the standard position.

Thus, the knitting width of a sock knitted in a tubular shape by this flat knitting machine changes as shown in FIG. 2, and the knitting width is shown as an example in the knitting course shown in FIG. Thus, the eyes are reduced four times from the shin to the ankle, and the eyes are increased twice from the ankle to the heel. Further, in the knitting courses shown in FIG. 3 and subsequent figures, only a change in the knitting width on one side (right side) is shown, and the other (left side) performs knitting similar to these knitting courses.

As for the knitting width of the tubular knitted fabric knitted from the foot insertion opening 2, the inner diameter of the tubular knitted fabric is gradually narrowed from the calf portion 3 to the ankle portion 4.

That is, when the needle bed is located at the reference position where the front and rear needle beds in FIG.
In FIG. 4, the loop of the knitting needle T of the front needle bed is transferred to the knitting needle T of the rear needle bed, and the loop is double-engaged with the knitting needle T of the rear needle bed. After the knitting needles of the front needle bed and the knitting needle of the rear needle bed are fed in a circular manner in FIG. 5 to form loops respectively, FIG.
After moving the rear needle bed two pitches to the left from the reference position, the loop of the knitting needle T of the rear needle bed is transferred to the knitting needle S of the front needle bed, and the knitting needle S of the front needle bed is moved to the knitting needle S of the front needle bed. Causes the loop to be doubly hooked.

In FIG. 7, when the knitting yarn is fed in a circular shape over the front and rear needle beds and the knitted fabric is knitted, the loop of the knitted fabric is secondly wound on one side from the state shown in FIG. It decreases and the number of stitches decreases in the entire cylindrical shape. This corresponds to a case where the number of needles (stitches) in FIG. 2 is reduced from 72 to 68, for example. When the ankle portion 4 is obtained, the knitting needle of one needle bed is supplied, and the heel portion 5 is knitted with the knitting needle of the other needle bed.

In the knitting of the heel portion 5, the knitting width is gradually reduced until both ends are tacked, and the knitting width is returned from the predetermined knitting width to the original width. It is formed.

After the heel portion 5 has been formed, the knitting width is increased to widen the narrow knitted tubular fabric for the ankle portion 4. This additional stitch is obtained by moving the loop at the end of the knitting width covering the heel portion 5 in FIG. 8, ie, moving the knitting needle N of the front needle bed to the left of the rear needle bed in FIG. 9 by two pitches, The knitting needle O of the rear needle bed is also divided and hooked.

After returning the rear needle bed to the reference position in FIG. 10, the knitting needles O of the rear needle bed are transferred to the knitting needles O of the front and rear needle beds. In FIG. 11, yarn is supplied to the knitting needles A to O of the front needle bed and the knitting needles N to A of the rear needle bed, and the loop of the knitting needle O of the front needle bed is connected to the knitting needle O of the rear needle bed in FIG. Is also divided and hooked, and in FIG. 13, knitting needles A to
When the yarn is fed to O and the knitting needles O to A of the rear needle bed,
The loop of the tubular knitted fabric has increased by two stitches on one side from the state of FIG. 8, and the loop has increased by four stitches in the entire tubular shape.

A straight cylindrical shape is formed from the heel portion 5 to the toe portion, but the above-mentioned reduced and increased stitches are repeated as necessary to form a gouge in the arch portion 6 of the sole of the foot. Later, the leading end portion 8 of the instep may be knitted with additional eyes. When the front end portion 8 of the upper is knitted, the width is gradually reduced by the stitch, and when the toe portion in the state of FIG. The end treatment step is the knitting needle A of the rear needle bed in FIG.
To the knitting needles A to G of the front needle bed so as to be double hung on this portion, and the yarn is supplied to the knitting needles A to G of the front needle bed in FIG. To form a new loop.

It is to be noted that the loop length can be changed by controlling the stitch cam of the carriage, although not shown, instead of or together with the change of the knitting width by the increase or decrease of the stitch.

In FIG. 17, the loop of the knitting needle G of the front needle bed is transferred to the knitting needle G of the rear needle bed, and
Then, the loop of the knitting needle G of the rear needle bed is moved to the knitting needle F of the front needle bed by moving the rear needle bed to the left by two pitches, so that the loop is double-engaged. 19, the knitting needle F of the front needle bed in FIG.
When a new loop is formed by supplying the yarn to the knitting needle G, the loop of the knitting needle G of the front needle bed shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 16 to FIG. 19, the loop-off processing is sequentially performed, and when the loop of the knitting needle A of the front needle bed in FIG. 20 becomes the first loop, the yarn is supplied to the knitting needle A of the front needle bed in FIG. After the loop has been formed several times, the loop is removed and the sock is completed.

In the above-described embodiment, the knitting is performed from the side of the foot insertion port. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the knitting can be performed from the toe portion or the knitted fabric from the foot insertion port to the ankle. Needless to say, the number of increments or decrements for changing the width and the number of times the loop length is changed by the stitch adjustment can be arbitrarily set. In the above embodiment, the socks are socks.
It goes without saying that the present invention can also be carried out on socks with five fingers and socks of the tabi type.

Further, the present invention minimizes the use of elastic yarns such as rubber yarns, which have conventionally been provided over a wide width from the ankle portion to the vicinity of the foot insertion port. Of course, this does not preclude the insertion of a thread. In addition, in the present invention, the eyes are reduced four times from the shin to the ankle, and the eyes are increased twice from the ankle to the heel. However, as shown in FIG. The eyes are reduced three times during the period, and the eyes are increased once from the ankle to the heel, or the eyes are reduced twice from the shin to the ankle as shown in FIG. Can also be formed.

[0026]

As described above, the present invention uses a flat knitting machine having a pair of needle beds facing each other back and forth, and a sock made of a tubular knitted fabric knitted from a toe or a foot insertion opening. From the ankle portion to the foot insertion opening, the knitting width is changed by increasing or decreasing the number of stitches instead of inserting the rubber thread in the portion knitted by inserting a rubber thread over a wide width. The socks are adapted to the undulations of the feet, so that the socks are well adapted to the undulations of the feet, and have the advantage of being comfortable and of high commercial value.

Furthermore, since the socks are undulated along the feet by increasing and decreasing eyes in accordance with the shape of the feet, there is no local tightening as compared with the method in which the socks are contracted by the elasticity of the rubber thread. There is also an advantage that a rubberless molded sock that is also favorable for health can be obtained.

Furthermore, since there is no local tightening and it can be made into a rubberless molded sock that is also favorable for health, there is no discomfort, it can be worn all day except during bathing and the concentration of "pots" There is also an advantage in that the blood circulation of the foot can be improved and a sock excellent in health can be provided.

Also, since it can be worn comfortably all day except during bathing, it can also be used for keeping warm at bedtime, and it is not necessary to make conventional socks for bedtime easy. There is also the advantage that it can be economical.

In addition, since the socks are shaped along the undulations of the feet by increasing and decreasing eyes, it is not necessary to use a large amount of expensive elastic threads such as rubber threads, and the manufacturing cost is also reduced. There is also an advantage that it can be reduced.
