DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a view showing a tubular body with a suspension band, wherein a is an example in which the present invention is applied to a toe cover 1 of a sock, b is a sock 3, and c is a tank top 5. In the case of the toe cover 1, the suspension band 7 is hung from the arch to the Achilles tendon, in the case of the sock 3, it is hung over the shank beyond the crotch portion 9 and over the shin, and in the tank top it is hung from the chest to the neck. There are other tubular bodies with such suspension bands, which are not limited to clothing. The tubular body referred to here is not limited to only a knitted fabric configured as a complete tubular body in which both ends of the front and rear knitted fabrics to be knitted by the flat knitting machine are connected. Of the knitted fabric, such as a cardigan whose one side is opened or a knitted fabric is divided at the center of the front body like a cardigan.

As a method of knitting the cylindrical body, a pair of front and rear needle beds extending in the left-right direction and facing each other across the tooth gap are disclosed as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-75656 proposed by the present applicant. The pair of needle beds each have a large number of needles,
Using a so-called two-bed flat knitting machine capable of transferring stitches between the needle beds and allowing the rear needle bed to be racked left and right, for example, knitting the front knitted fabric to odd-numbered needles and rear knitting The ground is assigned to the even-numbered needles, and the knitted fabric is knitted in a tubular shape using every other needle on the front and rear needle beds. When knitting the front knitted fabric, attach the rear knitted fabric to the needle of the rear needle bed, and conversely, when knitting the rear knitted fabric, attach the front knitted fabric to the needles of the front and rear needle beds and overlap them back and forth By knitting the knitted fabric in a state in which the knitted fabric is placed, each knitted fabric can always secure empty needles for transfer on the opposing needle bed. Can be knitted. Further, the knitted fabric can be moved sideways using the empty needle. In the case of using a four-bed flat knitting machine with a pair of needle beds added to the front and back, the front knitted fabric is knitted with the needles of the lower front needle bed and the upper rear needle bed, and the rear knitted fabric is similarly moved to the lower rear needle bed. Since knitting can be performed using the needles of the needle bed and the upper front needle bed, it is not necessary to assign the front knitted fabric to the odd-numbered needles and the rear knitted fabric to the even-numbered needles as in a two-bed flat knitting machine.

FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are views showing knitting steps of a tubular body with a hanging band. In this example, the tubular body is first knitted after the hanging band is knitted. The letters AaBbCc... Shown at the top and bottom in the figure indicate the needles of the needle bed, and the capital letters are used for knitting the front knitted fabric and the small letters are used for knitting the rear knitted fabric. FB shown on the left side of the figure indicates a needle bed, and F
Indicates a front needle bed, and B indicates a rear needle bed. The number of stitches used for knitting is smaller than the actual number for convenience of explanation. FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the suspension band.

In step 1, the needles D, E, F, G,
The yarn is supplied to H and the needles d, e, f, g, and h of the rear needle bed, and the hanging band 7 is set up and knitted. After knitting of the stop knitting course subsequent to set-up in steps 2 and 3, knitting of the rear side of the suspension band 7 is shown in steps 4 to 9.
Indicates a transfer step for forming both ends of the wale with a face and the other having a garter structure. Garter knitting is performed in which the front and back are switched for each course. It is not necessary to use the surface knit as long as it prevents the hanging band from curling by forming the both ends of the wale with surface knitting. The knitting of the entire band may be ribbed. In the present specification, the rear side 7b is defined as needles d, e,
The side knitted by f, g, h means the side knitted by the needles D, E, F, G, H.

In this embodiment, the knitting of the rear side portion 7b of the suspension band 7 is performed with the needles d, e, f, g, and h. , F, G, H
The stitch (front side portion 7f) locked in the knitting is retained without being involved in knitting. The length of the suspension band 7 can be adjusted by changing the number of repetitions of steps 5 to 8. After the suspension band of the desired length is knitted, the stitch forming the band is temporarily transferred to the needles d, e, f, g, and h of the front needle bed in Step 10. Then, in the following step 11, the needles h,
The stitches locked to g, f, e, d are inserted into the needles d, e,
The stitches are shifted to f, g, and h in order from the stitch locked by the needle h, and the arrangement of the stitch wale is reversed left and right, and the rear side portion 7b of the suspension band is twisted by 180 degrees. By twisting the rear side portion 7b in this way, at the time of wearing, the hanging band 7 intersects front and rear with the front side portion 7f in front and the rear side portion 7b in the back at the attachment portion with the tubular body 8 when worn. 13 forms a beautiful silhouette to fit the body.

In step 12, the needles d, e,
The stitches of the last course of the rear side portion 7b locked to f, g, h are moved to the needles D, E, F, G, H for locking the stitches (front side portion 7f) formed in Step 2 of the front needle bed. Transfer and overlap.
With the above steps, a suspension band having a loop structure is completed. Reference numeral 11a in FIG. 4 indicates a set-up portion of the suspension band. In step S13, the stitches locked by the needles D, F, and H are transferred to the needles D, F, and H on the rear needle bed in a subsequent preparation process for knitting the tubular body 8. This is an operation for adjusting to the knitting pattern of the tubular body 8, and in this embodiment, the tubular body 8 is 1 ×
One rib pattern 15 is formed. Step 14 shows the state of the needle bed after the stitch has been transferred. The yarn feeder 17 used for knitting the suspension band 7 may be removed from the needle bed before knitting the tubular body, or the tubular body 8 may be knitted using the same yarn feeder 17. Is also good.

Steps 15 to 29 show knitting steps of the tubular body 8 to be knitted following the suspension band 7. In this embodiment, the tubular body 8 is knitted as a complete tubular body in which a front knitted fabric 8f and a rear knitted fabric 8b are connected at both ends. Each knitted fabric constituting the tubular body is knitted with a 1 × 1 rib structure, the front knitted fabric 8f is needles A, B, C,..., I, J, K, and the rear knitted fabric 8b is needles a, , i, j, k.
Steps 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, and 28 show knitting of the rear knitted fabric 8b performed after knitting of the front knitted fabric 8f, or transfer of stitches in the reverse case. Step 15 is the set-up knitting of the front side knitted fabric 8f, Step 17
Indicates the set-up knitting of the rear knitted fabric 8b. Step 19, 2
3 indicates stop knitting of the front knitted fabric 8f, and steps 21 and 25 indicate stop knitting of the rear knitted fabric 8b. Step 27 shows rib knitting of the front knitted fabric 8f, and step 29 shows rib knitting of the back knitted fabric 8b. By knitting as described above, a knitted fabric in which the suspension band 7 and the tubular body 8 are integrated can be knitted.

In the above-described embodiment, since the suspension band 7 is knitted by the single yarn feeder 17, it takes a long time for knitting. Therefore, the yarn feeder is added and the suspension band 7 is formed in step 2 and is in a holding state. If the front side 7f of the suspension band 7 is knitted by feeding yarns through the yarn feeder added to the stitch, knitting efficiency can be improved. At that time, using a carriage equipped with four cam systems, the front side of the band 7f in the first system, the stitch transfer in the second system, and the rear side 7b, 4th of the band in the 3rd system.
If the system transfers stitches, knitting for two courses can be performed with one traverse of the carriage. When the number of cam systems is only two, for example, either the front part 7f or the rear part 7b of the band is gradually shifted in the horizontal direction each time a stitch course is formed, and the band is moved to the front part 7f. If the rear side portion 7b and the rear side portion 7b are arranged side by side on the needle bed, for example, the two yarn feeders of the preceding system are taken, and the front side portion 7f of the band is used in one yarn feeder, and the rear side portion is used in the other yarn feeder. 7b may be knitted, and the transfer for the garter may be performed in a subsequent system. However, in this case, it is necessary to secure a space for stopping the yarn feeder between the bands of the front side portion 7f and the rear side portion 7b which are arranged side by side. When one of the bands is juxtaposed, the knitting of the band is completed, and a step of laterally moving the band back to the original state so that the stitches of the front side portion 7f and the rear side portion 7b are overlapped is required. When the number of knitting courses of the front side portion 7f and the rear side portion 7b is equal, the knitting position of the suspension band is 11b in FIG. 4, and the number of knitting courses of the rear side portion 7b is larger than that of the front side portion 7f. The set-up portion 11 is indicated by 11c, and the position of the set-up portion 11 changes depending on the difference.

Although the above description has been made of the example in which the knitting is started from the hanging band 7, the knitting of the tubular body 8 and the knitting of the hanging band 7 subsequently to the knitting are also possible. . In this case, the stitches of the final course of the tubular body 8 excluding the portion where the suspension band 7 is formed are bound off and removed from the needle, and the suspension band 7 is subsequently knitted. Also in this case, the number of yarn feeders for knitting the suspension band 7 is arbitrary, and after twisting 180 degrees so as to replace the arrangement of the rear stitches to be knitted left and right, the stitch processing is performed by overlapping with the stitches on the front side. To do.

[0021]

As described above, the tubular body with the hanging band is
Since it is completed on a flat knitting machine, post-processing such as sewing is not required, so that productivity can be increased. In addition, since the front and rear bands are continuously knitted to the tubular body in a connected state, the attachment location is firm, and the stitches at the location are not easily broken during wearing. Further, the suspension band can be knitted without depending on the knitting width (diameter) of the tubular body, so that the suspension band of an arbitrary length can be knitted.
