Abstract

A method of knitting a fabric (10) on a flatbed knitter with two facing needle beds (V,H), together with a parallel knitted section (11) over it, such as for a pocket flap or collar and the like, involves a maximum of every second needle of the beds (V,H) carrying a stitch of the ground fabric (10), and the facing needle of the other bed is empty. The stitches of at least one flap (11) are formed at the empty needles, after the fabric stitches have been transferred to the other bed.

Description

Especially for items of clothing with pockets or collars or the parallel generation is with special pattern effects a basic knitting and a partial knitting are desirable, whereby for the usable binding techniques for the basic and the partial knitted fabric has no restrictions if possible should. Knitting methods known to date cannot do this Afford. For example, it is known to pocket through creating a circular tube knitting technique, but that shows Basic knitted fabric with this technique in the area of the bag background left stitches on what the visual impression of Knitted items are annoying because the bags usually stand up slightly, so that the pocket background can also be seen. After another The bags are used as loop-shaped bulges of the basic knitted fabric, whose side edges later be sewn together, which means a high manufacturing cost.

To avoid such restrictions, the present suggests Invention a method for producing a knitted fabric a flat knitting machine with two opposite needle beds and a mesh wrap, which Knitted a basic knitted fabric and at least one the basic knitted fabric has partially overlapping parallel part knitted fabric and at least in the area of the parallel part or knitted fabrics at most every second needle of a needle bed with one stitch of the basic knitted fabric is occupied and that of a stitched fabric Needle of one needle bed opposite needle of the other Needle bed is empty and the stitches of the least a parallel knit in the not with basic knit stitches occupied needles are generated and the stitches of the Basic knitted fabric in the area of the at least one parallel part knitted fabric before creating stitches for the parallel knitted fabric be reassigned to the other needle bed. With this Procedures can be based on knitted fabrics at any point parallel partial knits are formed. The basic knitted fabric can have any known structure and color pattern which with the needle division of the method according to the invention can be knitted. The binding techniques can the area of the basic knitting vary. The same applies the parallel part knitted fabrics which can be produced using the method. The geometric shape of the basic knitted fabric and the Parallel knitting is completely arbitrary. The parallel knitted fabrics can both on the front as well as on the back of the basic knitted fabric and at least be connected to the basic knitted fabric at one point. The connection with the basic knitted fabric can advantageously by means of catch handles. Connections are both along edges of the parallel knit as well as punctual Connections can be established.

The inventive method can according to the subclaims be varied so that parallel knitted fabrics are produced with it that have a ribbed area and Parallel knitted fabric, which is a stripe-shaped, alternating appearing on the front and back of a basic knitted fabric Right knit are. Another subclaim concerns the creation of a basic knitted fabric with a Parallel knitted fabric, which is a right-right knitted fabric with areas constant knit width, areas of a knit broadening and areas of knitting width reduction is.

To illustrate these three configurations of the invention The process below is the production of three knitted examples explained using the drawing.

The stitch course shown in Fig. 4 relates a repeat of the basic knitted fabric 21 with an area 22.1 and an area 22.2 of the band-shaped parallel part knitted fabric 22. First, row 1 with a first Knitting system S1 in the carriage direction from right to left a row of stitches for the basic knitted fabric 21 on the back Needle bed H generated. Then row 2 is the same Carriage direction with a second knitting system S2 a Right row of stitches produced for the parallel knitted fabric 22. In Row 3 then creates a course for the basic knitted fabric in the direction of the slide from left to right before in Row 4 again a row of stitches for the parallel knitted fabric is generated on the front needle bed V. The steps of the Rows 1 to 4 are then repeated until the Desired height of area 22.1 of the parallel section knit 22 reached on the front of the basic fabric 21 is. Then in row 5 all stitches F, H, J, L, N of the Parallel knitted 22 from the front needle bed V on the the rear needle bed H is suspended, creating the parallel knit 22 changes to the back of the basic knitted fabric 21. Then in row 6 on the back needle bed Row of stitches generated for the basic knitted fabric 21. Then in Row 7 the stitches g, i, k, m of the basic knitted fabric 21 in the area of the parallel knitted fabric 22 from the rear needle bed H on the front needle bed V and in row 8 with one third knitting system S3 in the carriage direction from left to on the right a row of stitches for area 22.2 of the parallel knitted fabric 22 generated. Row 9 then becomes the stitch of the basic knitted fabric 21 again on the rear needle bed H reassembled, so in row 10 in the direction of the sled from the right to the left a row of stitches for the basic knitted fabric 21 on the rear needle bed H can be generated. Then be the stitches g, i, k, m of the basic knitted fabric 21 from the back Needle bed H slung over the front needle bed V, and then is a row of stitches on the back needle bed H for the Parallel knit 22 produced (row 12). Row 13 is done the stitches of the basic knitted fabric hang back 21 on the rear needle bed H. The rows 6 to 13 The steps shown can then be repeated until the area 22.2 of the parallel knitted fabric 22 on the Back of the basic knitted fabric 21 reaches the desired height Has. Then the stitches of the parallel section knit f, h, j, l, n, as shown in row 14, from the rear needle bed H reapplied to the front needle bed V, causing the Parallel knitted fabric 22 again on the front of the basic knitted fabric 21 changes. By repeating the 4 can be the pattern repeat of the parallel part knitted fabric can be repeated as often as desired.

Fig. 5 shows a knitted fabric 30, consisting of a plain knitted Basic knit 31 and a lapel collar 32, which as Right-right parallel part knitted to basic knitting 21 created is. The lapel collar 32 is made with areas a knitted fabric broadening V, areas with a knitted fabric width reduction M and areas of constant knit width N composed. The areas V and M are used for this Widening or width reduction not directly on the left Edge but slightly offset from what is shown by the dashed line Line 33 is indicated. 6 now describes the production of the individual areas N, V and M of the lapel collar 32. In the Rows 1 to 4 are the production of an area N with a constant knit width based on the course of the stitch explained. Row 1 is worked in the knitting direction from the left a row of stitches to the right with the first knitting system S1 of the basic knitted fabric formed on the front needle bed V. Then row 2 with the second knitting system S2 the stitches L, N, P, R, T, V, X, Z of the basic knitted fabric 31 in Area of the parallel knitted lapel collar 32 and the left stitches M, Q, U of the parallel knitted fabric 32 from the front Transfer needle bed V to the rear needle bed H. Then row 3 with the first knitting system S1 in Slide direction from right to left left and right stitches formed for the parallel knit 32. The needle Y carries a connecting stitch to the base fabric 31, d. H. to Stitch of needle Z. In row 4 the stitches l, n, p, r, t, v, x, z of the basic knitted fabric 31 and the left stitches m, q, u hung back on the front needle bed V. The steps rows 1 to 4 can now be repeated until the area N has the desired length.

In the rows 5 to 13 is the production of an area V shown with a widening of the parallel part knitted fabric 32. In row 5 is in the sled direction from left to right the first knitting system S1 has a row of stitches for the basic knitted fabric 31 formed on the front needle bed V. Subsequently are in the same slide direction with the knitting system S2 all stitches of basic knitted fabric 31 and the left stitches M, Q, U of the parallel part knitted fabric 32 from the front needle bed V hung on the rear needle bed H (row 6). In row 7 then right and left stitches are formed for the Parallel knit 32 in the carriage direction from right to on the left with the knitting system S1. Then row 8 the right stitches K, O, S, W, Y also on the back Transfer needle bed H. In row 9 is then after a needle bed offset of the rear needle bed H with the first Knitting system S1 in the carriage direction from left to right Part of the stitches of the parallel knitted fabric k, m, o, q on the front needle bed V slung. The stitch of the needle k on needle I, stitch on needle m on needle K, the stitch of the needle o onto the stitch M and the stitch of the Transfer needle q to needle O, causing the broadening of the parallel part knitted fabric 32 arises. Then that will rear needle bed H set back and row 10 the left Stitches K, O from the front needle bed V to the back needle bed H and the right stitches s, w, y from the rear needle bed H hung on the front needle bed V. Then in row 11 in the sled direction from left to right with the first Knitting system S1 left and right stitches for the parallel knitting 32 formed. The needle q also forms one Tuck handle, which marks the boundary between the offset stitches and the non-offset stitches (Line 33 in Fig. 5). Row 12 will be in the same Knit all stitches on the back needle bed are, d. H. all stitches of basic knitted fabric 31 as well the left stitches k, o, u of the parallel part knitted fabric 32 the front needle bed V slung. Row 13 will be back in the direction of the slide from right to left with the first Knitting system S1 a row of stitches for the basic knitted fabric 31 educated. The steps from rows 5 to 13 can then be carried out be repeated until the desired widening of the parallel knit 32 is reached.

Rows 14 to 22 describe the production of an area M of the lapel collar 32 with a reduction in the fabric width. Row 14 is in the knitting direction from the left a row of stitches to the right with the first knitting system S1 formed for the basic knitted fabric 31 on the front needle bed V. Then in the same direction as the slide Knitting system S2 all stitches of the basic knitting 31 and the left stitches I, M, Q, U of the parallel section knit 32 from Transfer the front needle bed V to the rear needle bed H. (Row 15). Then row 16 with the first Knitting system S1 left and right stitches for the parallel knitting 32 formed. The needle Y carries the connecting stitch again to the basic fabric 31 in row 17 then also from right to left in the direction of the slide the knitting system S2 right stitches G, K on the left edge of the Parallel knitted 32 from the front needle bed V on that back needle bed H and left stitches q, u on the right edge of the Partial knit 32 from the rear needle bed H to the front Needle bed V reassembled. Then there are only those Stitches g, i, k, m on the back needle bed H, the next Participate in the lesser process. For this the rear Needle bed H offset and then in row 18 with the first knitting system S1 from left to right in the direction of the slide on the right the stitch of the needle g on the needle K, the stitch of the Needle i on needle M and stitch of needle k on Needle O of the front needle bed V slung. Through this The transfer process reduces the width of the parallel knitted fabric 32 causes. It then follows in row 19 a backward displacement of the rear needle bed H left stitches M, Q, U of the parallel knitted fabric 32 from the front Needle bed V on the rear needle bed H before in row 20 in the carriage direction from left to right with the first Knitting system S1 left and right stitches for the Parallel knit 32 are formed. Then be in row 21 all stitches of the back needle bed H, d. H. all stitches of the basic knitted fabric 31 and the left stitches m, q, u of the parallel part knitted fabric 32 on the front needle bed V transfer. Then row 22 on the front needle bed V formed a course for the basic knitted fabric 31. The steps in rows 14 to 22 can also be repeated until the area M of the parallel part knitted fabric 32 is reduced to the desired width.

The examples of basic knitted fabrics shown in the figures with parallel knitted fabrics are only examples. With the method according to the invention includes a large number of others Combinations of basic knitted and parallel knitted can be generated.
