    摘要: A feeder for a knitting machine may include a carrier configured to secure the feeder to a knitting machine such that the feeder is movable along a rail of the knitting machine and a feeder arm extending from the carrier. The feeder arm may include a dispensing area configured for supplying a yarn to a needle bed of the knitting machine, and the carrier may include a first actuation surface, a second actuation surface, and a third actuation surface, where the feeder performs a first knitting function when a plunger actuates the feeder by applying a force on the first actuation surface, where the feeder performs a second knitting function when the plunger actuates the feeder by contacting the second actuation surface, and where the feeder performs a third knitting function when the plunger actuates the feeder by contacting the third actuation surface.

    摘要: A knitted component may include a knit element with a first surface and an opposite second surface. An inlaid yarn may extend through the knit element and between the first surface and the second surface. A secured area where the first surface and the second surface are secured together may be included, where the inlaid yarn is secured by loops forming the first surface and the second surface. A cushioning area may be included, where the cushioning area has a tubular construction such that the first surface and the second surface are separable, forming a cavity therebetween, and where the inlaid yarn extends through the cavity formed between the first surface and the second surface.

    摘要: In one aspect of the disclosure, a knitted component for use in an article of footwear may include a first layer with a multi-bed first area having a first surface and an opposite facing second surface. The knitted component may include a second layer with a second area overlapping the first area. The second area may have a first surface and an opposite facing second surface. The knitted component may include a plurality of interlayer knit stitches interlooping at least one yarn of the first layer with at least one yarn of the second layer at an interface between the second surfaces of the first and second areas. The interior surfaces of the first area and the second area may define at least part of a freely separable area between the first and second areas.
