    摘要: Provided is a flat knitting machine capable of inhibiting the feeder tip from moving out of the region where the feeder tip can feed yarn to the target position that is on the side of the needle bed gap, the target position being a position where a knitting needle takes hold of the yarn, when the feeder tip is moved up or down. In a flat knitting machine (100) including needle beds (110); a yarn passage rail (130) that installed above the needle beds (110); a yarn feeder (1) including a feeder tip (23a) for supplying knitting yarn to a knitting needle (111); and a feeder tip position adjusting elongated hole (24a) and a screw (40) for adjusting the yarn-feeding height of the feeder tip (23a), the yarn feeder (1) includes: a feeder rod (20) to which the feeder tip (23a) is provided; a raising bias unit guiding groove (11) that guides the feeder rod (20) in a guide direction inclined with respect to the vertical direction; and feeder tip side guides (31) and carrier base side guide (32) that convert a moving direction of the feeder tip (23a) to a direction bringing the moving direction of the feeder tip (23a) closer to the vertical direction than the guide direction, in response to a change in the height of the feeder tip (23a), at least within a height range where the feeder tip (23a) is allowed to feed the yarn a position at which the yarn is taken hold of.

    摘要: A knitted component for an article of footwear having a vertically inlaid tensile element is described. The vertically inlaid tensile element extends along a direction that is vertical or at an angle to the direction of the knitting process of the knitted component. A method of knitting the knitted component includes placing a quantity of a tensile element into an auxiliary element of the knitted component and vertically inlaying a tensile element by using needles of a knitting machine to hold the tensile element by loops while the remaining portion of the knitted component is formed. As the knitted component is formed along a horizontal direction on the needles of the knitting machine, the tensile element spools out from within the auxiliary element to form the vertically inlaid tensile element.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a knitted component (1000, 1300) for an article of footwear (100), the method including: knitting a portion of the knitted component (1000, 1300) defining an upper (1002, 1302) with a knitting machine (1700), the upper (1002, 1302) including a portion of at least one of an exterior surface of the knitted component (1000, 1300) and an opposite interior surface of the knitted component (1000, 1300); and knitting an integral knit tongue (1010, 1310) that is of unitary knit construction with the upper (1002, 1302) with the knitting machine (1700), the integral knit tongue (1010, 1310) extending through a throat area (1020, 1320) of the knitted component (1000, 1300); wherein the integral knit tongue (1010, 1310) is joined by knitting with the knitting machine (1700) to a forward portion of the throat area (1020, 1320) and at least along a portion of a lateral side and a medial side of the throat area (1020, 1320) of the knitted component (1000, 1300)) extending from the forward portion to an ankle opening of the upper (1002, 1302), and wherein the integral knit tongue (1010, 1310) includes multiple knit structures of different types.

    摘要: Provided is a yarn feeding device capable of easily performing a necessary operation for a process to change or to mix specification among entraining-type and self-running-type running members such as yarn feeders.
    Two movement belts 4a, 4b are arranged between adjacent yarn feeder rails 2a, 2b while being divided into upper and lower stages. The upper and lower movement belts 4a, 4b respectively move yarn feeders 3a, 3b that are respectively mounted on trucks 2aF, 2bB of the yarn feeder rails 2a, 2b. Movement driving part driving the movement belts 4a, 4b are mounted on end portions of the yarn feeder rails 2a, 2b, so that no configuration supporting the movement belts 4a, 4b and the movement driving part is required for the yarn feeder rails 2a, 2b. The yarn feeder rails 2a, 2b could be shared by the entraining-type and self-running-type running members. The process for the specification change from the entrainment-running type to the self-running type, the mixing of the entrainment-running type and the self-running type, or the like could therefore be performed without detaching the yarn feeder rails 2a, 2b, thereby reducing the labor.
