Abstract
In order to allow the so called "casual" impaling of the edges of the binding strip and of the knit-wear article on the points of the rotary dial of a linking machine, the strip is formed at its opposite longitudinal edges with tabs which are superimposed on the inner face of the binding strip before the latter is bent to channel shape. Thicker end portions are formed on the free longitudinal edges of said tabs in order to permit semi-automatic impaling of the binding strip onto the points using guides provided with through slots directed towards the annular path of the points. A further guide allowing a semi-automatic impaling of the article edge to be sewn to the binding strip, may be also provided.
Claims29
A method of attaching binding strips to parts of knitted articles of wear on a linking machine, comprising:
- a. providing a knitted binding strip having auxiliary longitudinal tabs (2, 3, 9, 10, 15, 16) extending from the opposite edges (4,5) of the actual strip (1) to be attached to the knitted article (7);
- b. running the knitted article (7) and strip (1) onto the points (6) on the rotary dial (12) of a linking machine in such manner that the strip takes a channel shape, one at least (2, 15, 16) of said tabs being juxtaposed on the inner channel face (1a), in such manner that the marginal portion (7b) of said knitted article (7) extends a certain length within the channel;
- c. forming on said linking machine a chain stitch (8) joining the opposite faces of the strip (1) to the knitted article (7).
A linking machine provided with a bedplate, a rotary dial having points thereon, said dial being rotatable about said stationary circular bedplate, and a guide adapted to assist in impaling knitted goods on said points, the said guide comprising:
- a vertical wall (19) situated in a plane intersecting the annular path of the points (6), extending from a region situated externally of the said path substantially at least to the outer circumference, defined at the top in part by a straight edge (19c) slightly above the surface over which the points (6) of the linking machine revolve;
- a first horizontal elongated plate (22) arranged above the said plane on which the points (6) revolve, formed with a straight edge (22b) turned towards the outside of the path of the points (6) and extending parallel to said vertical wall (19), the said plate (22) defining with the top edge (19c) of the said vertical wall (19) a slit;
- a second horizontal elongated plate (20) arranged on the side of the said vertical wall (19) remote from the points (6), beneath the plane in which the points revolve, formed with a rectilinear edge (20a) extending parallel to the said vertical wall (19) and defining with the latter a slit substantially equal in width to said first mentioned slit, the rectilinear edge of said second plate and the straight edge of said first plate (22) are disposed in spaced apart relation on opposite sides of said vertical wall;
- and means for securing the said wall and said plates to the stationary circular bedplate of the machine.
A knitted binding strip adapted to form the trim along the edge of a garment comprising a main strip portion having a predetermined thickness and at least one auxiliary longitudinal tab having a thickness less than the thickness of said main strip knitted along an edge of said main strip.
A method of attaching a knitted binding strip to a knitted article comprising providing a knitted binding strip having auxiliary longitudinal tabs extending from the opposite edges of the actual strip to be attached to the knitted article, folding the strip into a channel-shaped binding strip about an edge of said article with at least one of said tabs being within the channel-shaped binding strip and securing said strip to said channel-shaped binding edge by stitching through said article, and said channel-shaped binding strip.
