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 double flat-bed knitting machine comprises four needle beds disposed in two mutually opposed pairs which are themselves disposed each in two mutually bisecting planes. A slide carrying cam means is arranged for actuating the needles of the four needle beds, and the needles are double-headed tongue needles. The machine further comprises transfer plates in the needle beds remote from a knitware take-off point.
