摘要:
There is provided a flat knitting machine in which the knitting yarn is less likely to be nipped between a fixed sinker and a movable sinker. The flat knitting machine includes a fixed sinker 4 and a movable sinker 5. Assuming a direction from an inoperative position, where the movable sinker does not make contact with a sinker loop, to an operative position, where the movable sinker makes contact with the sinker loop, in a swinging direction of the movable sinker 5 is an operating direction, the movable sinker 5 includes a projecting portion 5C at a position closer to a swinging center than a knitting yarn receiving portion 5B when seen from the swinging center of the movable sinker 5. The projecting portion 5C is projected out more toward the operating direction than the knitting yarn receiving portion 5B. When a virtual line connecting a holding point of the knitting yarn 8 in the hook 3F when the knitting yarn 8 is pulled in with the hook 3F of the knitting needle 3 and a holding point of the knitting yarn 8 in the fixed sinker 4 is defined, the projecting portion 5C when the movable sinker 5 is arranged at the inoperative position is arranged on an upper side of the needle bed 2 than the virtual line.

An object is to provide a flatbed knitting machine capable of performing a large number of types of selectable knitting operation and performing knitting operation in a mixed manner with improved knitting efficiency. An entry-side needle selection mechanism 11 allows selection of a knitting needle 3 subjected to the action from the first by a cam system 2 so that a selection butt 6b of a select jack 6 is guided to one of an A-position 6bA, an H-position 6bH and a B-position 6bB, by acting on and guiding a selector 7 of the knitting needle 3 to one of paths 7A, 7H, 7B. An intermediate needle selection mechanism 12 allows selection to guide the select jack 6 of the knitting needle 3 acted on by the cam system 2 to an F-position 6bF newly arranged closer to a needle bed gap than a A-position. The selection of the F-position allows the second stitch or the split knit as additional knitting operation.

It is an object is to provide a flatbed knitting machine having more options of knitting operation and providing excellent knitting efficiency in the knitting operation in a mixed manner. An entry-side needle selection mechanism 11 is configured to act on and guide a selector 7 of a knitting needle 3 along one of paths 7A, 7H, 7B and perform selection out of an A-position, an H-position, and a B-position for a selection butt 6b of a select jack 6 of the knitting needle 3 as a first target of acting by a cam system 2. An engaging part of the selector 7 and the select jack 6 are replaceable. A select jack lowering cam 18 lowers the select jack 6 from the A-position to the H-position. A selection of the A-position or the H-position by the entry-side needle selection mechanism 11 allows the selection of a F-position which is closer to a needle bed gap than the A-position in a direction of advancing to the needle bed gap, in addition to the H-position and the A-position, by an intermediate needle selection mechanism 12, resulting in providing excellent knitting efficiency with a larger number of types of available knitting operation in one knitting course.

A first set-up portion (7) in the lower part of one knitted fabric (4) and a second set-up portion (6) in the lower part of another knitted fabric (2) are set up by a flat knitting machine that includes at least a pair of front and back needle beds (F, B) and a plurality of set-up needles (20). A first row of hooked stitches (10) and a second row of hooked stitches (12) that serve as rows of hooked stitches of the first set-up portion (7) are first knitted, and then a third row of hooked stitches (14) and a fourth row of hooked stitches (16) that serve as rows of hooked stitches of the second set-up portion (6) are knitted. A set-up yarn of the first row of hooked stitches (10) and the set-up yarn of the second row of hooked stitches (12) are intersected with each other between the front and back needle beds (F, B), and the set-up yarn of the third row of hooked stitches (14) and the set-up yarn of the fourth row of hooked stitches (16) are intersected with each other between the front and back needle beds (F, B). Thereafter, the intersections between the set-up yarn of the first row of hooked stitches (10) and the set-up yarn of the second row of hooked stitches (12) are held by the set-up needles (20) and the intersections between the set-up yarn of the third row of hooked stitches (14) and the set-up yarn of the fourth row of hooked stitches (16) are held by the set-up needles (20). Furthermore, hooked stitches of the third row of hooked stitches (14) and the fourth row of hooked stitches (16) that are positioned on one needle bed (B) are removed from this needle bed (B), and the remaining hooked stitches that are positioned on the other needle bed (F) are maintained, and hooked stitches of the first row of hooked stitches (10) and the second row of hooked stitches (12) that are positioned on the other needle bed (F) are removed from this needle bed (F) and the remaining hooked stitches that are positioned on the one needle bed (B) are maintained. Thereafter, stitches of the first set-up portion (7) are knitted on the hooked stitches of the first row of hooked stitches (10) and the second row of hooked stitches (12) that are positioned on the one needle bed (B), and stitches of the second set-up portion (6) are knitted on the hooked stitches of the third row of hooked stitches (14) and the fourth row of hooked stitches (16) that are positioned on the other needle bed (F). The front and back knitted fabrics are pulled down independently at the time of setting up.
摘要:
To provide an edge yarn processing apparatus for a flatbed knitting machine which can operate a cutter by a gripper unit side alone provided with the cutter without using rotation of a slide guiding member. A first gripper 11 and a second gripper 12 have a first gripping part 13 and a second gripping part 14, respectively, which can grip knitting yarn 5 at the one end. Operation of the first gripping part 13 and the second gripping part 14 are conducted, respectively, on the basis of relative movement of a first grooved cam member 17 and a second grooved cam member 18 to a first holder 15 and a second holder 16. With the first gripper 11, a cutter 19 is also provided, and the operation of the cutter 19 is also conducted on the basis of the relative movement of the first grooved cam member 17 to the first holder 15, together with the first gripping part 13. Consequently, change-over between knitting yarn holding state and operation of the cutter 19 can be carried out without rotating the track 20.
摘要:
A flat knitting machine that includes a plurality of needles 1 arranged on needle beds; a cam system that causes the needles 1 to perform a knitting operation, and needle selection actuators configured to select the needles 1. A select jack 3 of the needle 1 includes a first engaging portion 3A with which part of a selector 4 engages when the selector 4 moves from a bottom position to an intermediate position, and a second engaging portion 3B with which part of the selector 4 engages when the selector 4 moves from the bottom position to an advanced position. The cam system includes a switching cam 6 configured to sink the selection butt 31 into the needle groove 2g when switching the selector 4 from engaging with the first engaging portion 3A to engaging with the second engaging portion 3B. The switching cam 6 has a height in the protruding direction that is smaller than the height, in the protruding direction, of the fixing pressor 5.
