摘要:
A method of knitting single knit fabrics on a circular knitting machine such that the fabric has improved elasticity, soft hand and drapeability and including controlling two types of needles arranged alternately in the cylinder and sinkers arranged in the sinker dial through four processes in which alternate needles are raised to the knitting level in the first process and intervening needles are raised to the tucking level and an old loop has cleared the latch on each needle and a previously fed yarn is held in the hook of each intervening needle, a first ground yarn (G1) is fed to the alternate and intervening needles and the needles are lowered to a high welt level for the alternate needles so that the old loop is not knocked over and a low welt level for the intervening needles so that the old loop is knocked over and a new double yarn stitch loop is formed. The levels to which the alternate and intervening needles are raised are reversed in the third process.

A method of and circular knitting machine (20) for producing a knit fabric having more uniform stitches including yarn feeders (76) feeding a plurality of yarns (Y) to stitch forming instrumentalities, the spacing of which affects stitch length and which is subject to change during operation of the knitting machine, a sensor (86) for sensing the tension in the plurality of yarns which changes with changes in the spacing of the stitch forming instrumentalities, and generating a signal indicative of the average tension in the yarns, a comparator for comparing the sensor signal with a pre-set desired tension, a convertor for converting the comparison result into a drive signal, and an adjuster adjusting the spacing of the stitch forming instrumentalities responsive to the drive signal.

Knitted fabric produced by a circular knitting machine (4) passes downwardly to a fabric winding unit (5) that rotates synchronously with the knitting unit and that includes fabric delivery rolls (25,26) and a fabric winding shaft (28) that are driven by rotation of the unit. The winding unit (5) also includes a fabric guide that guides the fabric onto the shaft, a fabric cutter that cuts the fabric after a preselected quantity of it has been wound upon the roll, a fabric receiving table, and a thruster that removes the wound fabric from the center shaft (28) and discharges the fabric onto the fabric receiving table and thereafter from the machine. A central processing unit and associated sensor and switch elements monitor and/or control operation of the knitting machine and winding unit.

An automatic winding and doffing apparatus of a circular knitting machine includes a winding unit (4) that revolves synchronously with the cylinder of the circular knitting machine. The apparatus includes opposed winding apparatus frame arms (16,17). A fabric winding roll (21) has one roll end pivotally mounted on one of the arms. A guide mechanism guides the knitted fabric to the winding roll. The fabric roll is stopped after a predetermined amount of fabric has been wound. A doffing apparatus doffs the fabric from the winding roll after a predetermined amount of fabric has been wound on the fabric roll. In preferred embodiment, the other winding roll end is freely supported by a turning lever (28) pivotally mounted on the frame. Upon pivoting movement of the lever arm, the winding roller may be moved from a home, winding position to an unloading, doffing position in which the other end of the winding roller is removed from the support arm. A lock mechanism operatively connects to the turning lever for locking the turning lever in a position in which the turning lever supports the winding roller in the home, winding position and for unlocking the turning lever to allow the turning lever (28) to pivot and disengage from the winding roller (21).

A method of constructing a plated pile knit fabric and sinker therefor is disclosed. The sinker (8) is adapted for low pile formation in the construction of the plating pile knit fabric. Each sinker is obliquely movable from an advanced, lower position to a receded, upper position. A pile position control ledge (8f) extends horizontally with respect to the incline of the sinker (8). The distance between the sinker nose (8d) and sinker pile position control ledge (8f) is more extended than in a conventional sinker, and as a result, the sinker nose (8d) can be positioned lower than that in a conventional sinker so as to form low piles.

A yarn changing apparatus for a multi-feed circular knitting machine includes lever arms (22) connected to yarn feeding fingers (12-15). Vertically movable sliders (26) are operatively connected to the lever arms (22) and are slidable between raised and lowered positions to move the lever arms (22) and yarn feeding fingers (12-15) connected thereto, so as to place the yarn feeding fingers into operative and nonoperative positions. Vertically movable rocking jacks (150) pivotably connect to the sliders (26) with each rocking jack (150) including pivotably movable upper and lower ends. Remotely programmed selection units are operative with the rocking jacks (150) for aiding in pivoting the rocking jacks (150). The remotely programmed selection units include upper and lower electromagnetic block units which are energizable and act upon selectors to engage and pivot the rocking jacks (150). Raising and lowering cams engage the rocking jacks (150) to raise and lower the rocking jacks (150) during pivoting movement thereof so as to raise and lower the sliders (26) and move the lever arms (22) and yarn feeding fingers (12-15) connected thereto between operative and nonoperative positions.

Knitting of pile jacquard fabric is carried out on a circular knitting machine including needles (3) and sinkers (5), and a plurality of adjacent yarn feeders (10, 11, 12). The fabric includes successive courses of plain jersey stitch wales knit of a ground yarn (7) with each successive course also including a first pile loop yarn (8) knit with the ground yarn in selected groups of adjacent wales and forming an individual pile loop in each intervening sinker wale, and a second pile loop yarn (9) knit with the ground yarn in other groups of adjacent needle wales and forming an individual pile loop in each intervening sinker wale. Both the individual pile loops of the first and second pile loop yarns are positioned in side-by-side relationship in adjacent groups in each successive continuous ground yarn course so that the density of the pile loops corresponds with the density of the ground yarn stitch loops. The upstanding individual pile loops are adapted to be cut in a shearing operation to form a patterned velour jacquard fabric.

A pair sinker that can suppress protrusion of a lay-in yarn on a front surface of a ground knit fabric even in a case where a state of each yarn, a state of the pair sinker, or a surrounding environment is changed, a circular knitting machine including the pair sinker, and a knitting method for knitting a double fleece knit fabric by the circular knitting machine including the pair sinker are achieved. A pair sinker 11 are constituted by a first sinker 12 and a second sinker 13 respective base portions of which are inserted in a same sinker groove 7a of a circular knitting machine 1, the first sinker 12 includes a upper support portion 12c that supports a lay-in yarn r, a tie-in yarn t, and a knit-in yarn k and a lower support portion 12b located more downward than the upper support portion 12c, the second sinker 13 includes an insertion portion 13b that is inserted in a loop Rr of the lay-in yarn and a second sinker engaging portion 13c that pushes in the lay-in yarn r and the tie-in yarn t, and an upper end surface 13e of the insertion portion 13b is arranged in a position located more downward than an upper end surface 12g of the upper support portion 12c and more upward than an upper end surface 12h of the lower support portion 12b.
