DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of treating an end of a tubular knitted fabric such as a sock with a finger, a sock without a finger, a glove, a leg warmer, a tights, a supporter, and a belly band, and an end treatment with an elastic yarn. The present invention relates to a tubular knitted fabric subjected to the above.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A sock as an example of a tubular knitted fabric, particularly a so-called "sock" in which five fingers such as a thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger are collectively stored in one bag. "Finger socks" are known in which each of the towels and five fingers are put in a finger bag, or the thumb and other fingers are put in separate finger bags.

[0003] These "socks" and "socks with fingers"
With a flat knitting machine, weaving from the toe part of the toe or the thumb of the finger bag, the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger, the ends of the adjacent finger bags are joined or overlapped, From here, a tubular knitted fabric is knitted from the instep to the shin via the heel and ankle, and at the end (the periphery of the foot insertion opening), one of the two adjacent loops is connected to the other side. And repeat the procedure of forming a loop in the overlapped portion to perform a bind-off process, or supply a heat-sealing yarn to the periphery of the foot insertion opening (end of the knitted fabric) to supply heat. After forming the knitted fabric portion with the fusion yarn, the knitted fabric portion with the heat fusion yarn is wiped off from the knitting needle, and then heated and fused to prevent the knitting.

[0004]

However, the end of a tubular knitted fabric such as a sock with a finger, a sock without a finger, a glove, a leg warmer, a tights, a supporter, a belly band, etc., is connected to two adjacent loops as described above. One of the loops is moved to the other loop side to be overlapped, and the procedure of forming a loop in the overlapped portion is repeatedly performed to bind off, remove from a knitting needle, or supply a heat-fused yarn. After forming the knitted fabric portion with the heat fusible yarn, the product is wiped off from the knitting needle, and the knitted fabric portion with the heat fusible yarn is heated and fused to prevent unraveling. There is a problem that the portion becomes hard, which hinders the feeling of wearing and lowers the commercial value.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed in view of the above problems, and has a method of treating an end portion of a tubular knitted fabric capable of enhancing the elasticity of a bind-off portion, giving a good feeling of wearing, and improving the commercial value, and an elastic yarn. It is an object of the present invention to provide a tubular knitted fabric that has been subjected to an edge treatment.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a method for treating an end portion of a tubular knitted fabric according to the present invention comprises firstly using a pair of needle beds which are opposed to each other. At the end of the tubular knitted fabric knitted by feeding the knitting yarn in a circular manner over the knitting needles, the hook is hung on the knitting needle at the end of one of the front and rear needle beds. The loop is transferred to the corresponding knitting needle of the other needle bed, and the other needle bed is moved in the direction in which the transferred loop overlaps the loop at the end of one needle bed, and then transferred to the other needle bed. The transferred loop is transferred to one of the needle beds and superimposed, an elastic yarn is supplied to the two superposed loops to form a new loop, and the new loop is connected to the other needle bed. After moving the other needle bed in the direction in which the transferred new loop overlaps the loop at the end of one needle bed, the loop transferred to the other needle bed is transferred to one needle bed. An elastic yarn is supplied to the two superposed loops to form a new loop. The bind-off treatment by the elastic yarn is performed on the knitting needles of the front and rear needle beds. The end portion of the tubular knitted fabric is wiped off from the knitting needle while being sequentially wound around the end portion.

Next, in the tubular knitted fabric subjected to the end treatment with the elastic yarn according to the present invention, adjacent loops are overlapped at the end of the tubular knitted fabric, and the overlapped loops are elastically attached. The end processing is performed by forming a new loop with a thread to remove the loop from the knitting needle by a bind-off processing.
