ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention pertains to the field of circular stocking knitting and knitting machines and specifically pertains to a method for the manufacture of designed knitwear on such machines.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Various methods for the manufacture of designed knitwear on circular stocking knitting and knitting machines have already become known. One method, for example, consists of knitting with the needles of the machine at least one base thread with, alternately, two natural yarns or two yarns of different color and with a dual selection of the needles that must form the design of the knitwear. Another method consists of knitting, in the missed stitch form, at least one base yarn with another yarn of a different color or type by means of a single selection of the needles, which must form the design. However, the design that will thus be created in the knitted article has never been defined well and clearly, with the yarn of a different color or type being mixed together with the base yarn.
SUMMARY AND OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
Thus, the object of the present invention is to provide a novel method for the manufacture of designed knitwear with only one selection of the needles, starting from a first base yarn (coarser), a second base yarn (or weft, finer than the first one) and a dyed yarn for the design. This method provides for knitting the dyed yarn together with the second base yarn, discarding the first base yarn in such a manner that the design becomes better defined, clearer and has a solid color. The object is accomplished by selecting the needles that must form the design of the knitwear in such a way that each of them picks up and knits the dyed yarn and the second base yarn, dropping, or discarding, the first base yarn, while the remaining needles pick up and knit both of the base yarns, excluding the dyed yarn of the design.
The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and specific objects attained by its uses, reference is made to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which a preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated.
