Abstract

A process (P) of designing of textile items comprising the following steps: A) uploading a file containing a garment sample (1) from a memory of an electronic processor (2); B) generating a 2D model consisting of a representation in an X-Y plane of a fabric to be produced, for realizing the garment, by means of a knitting machine (T); C) transforming the 2D model for adapting it to the garment sample, so as to generate a 3D model consisting of a three-dimensional representation corresponding to a conformation assumed by the fabric when fitted on the garment sample, wherein each point of the 3D model presents a univocal correspondence with a respective pixel of the 2D model; D) displaying on a screen (3) the three-dimensional view of the 3D model; E) by a user, inserting a selection/change command of the 3D model, the command executing in an iterative manner the following succession of operations: F) selecting at least one point of the 3D model; G) attributing to the point of the 3D model at least a parameter; H) regenerating an updated version of the 2D model; I) retransforming the 2D model so as to generate an updated version of the 3D model; J) displaying an updated version of the 3D model. The process comprises a step (K) of compiling a machine program obtained by means of an electronic processing of the 2D and comprising the instructions necessary to operate a knitting machine (T).

Abstract

A process for manufacturing a textile item by means of a seamless circular weft knitting machine and provided with at least one feed and a needle-bearing organ supporting a plurality of needles. The process provides for programming the knitting machine so as to define a textile item of tubular and consisting of a plurality of successive stitch rows (R), and to produce weft knitted fabric for manufacturing the textile item. The process provides for producing a "booton-type double welt'' (7) defining an initial end (2) and having the following features: it comprises an outer layer (9) of fabric developing from the first row of the textile item and positioned outside of the tubular portion; it comprises an inner layer (8) of fabric turned inside the textile item so as to result facing the inner side of the outer layer; it is closed, at the end of the production of the inner layer, by means of stitch rows made with a set of needles and such as to join the end of the outer layer with the inner layer so that the booton welt is shaped as a closed pocket. The process provides furthermore for producing a body (6) of the textile item as far as a final end (3).

Abstract

A process for manufacturing a textile item by means of a circular weft knitting machine, of seamless type and provided at least with a feed, a needle-bearing organ supporting a plurality of needles, a plurality of knockover sinkers. The process provides the programming of the knitting machine so as to define a textile item consisting of a plurality of successive stitch rows (R) of knitted fabric in succession, and to produce weft knitted fabric for manufacturing the textile item, according to the programming step. In the programming step is set at least a designed motif, defined on at least two successive stitch rows, i.e. following one another, in which in at least one of the two successive rows a portion of terrycloth knitted fabric (S) is present. The designed motif is defined on a plurality of consecutive rows and consists of a serial repetition, for a certain number of times more than 1, of the two successive stitch rows, so as to obtain a structure with alternating rows, consisting of an alternating sequence of first rows and second rows of the two successive rows.

Abstract

A shaped sinker (1) for knitting machines includes a main horizontal body (2), destined to be slidingly housed inside a radial groove of a sinker-holding crown of a knitting machine and having a main longitudinal development between a rear portion (2A) and a front portion (2B); an upright (3) developing vertically from the main body near the front portion (2B) and ending on top with an upper portion (4) defining an upper resting plane (30) destined to receive one or more yarns resting thereupon during stitch formation; and a protrusion (6) rising from the upper portion of the upright, developing towards the front portion of the main body and having on top a sliding plane (60). The protrusion rises from the upper portion of the upright so that the sliding plane is moved forward with respect to the upper resting plane of the upright. The protrusion is laterally offset or inclined with respect to the upright, from which it rises, and is configured for loading and stretching an interstitch and arrange it on an adjacent needle of the knitting machine so as to form an open work. The sliding plane of the protrusion is lowered with respect to the upper resting plane of the upright.

Abstract

A process for making a garment, provided at least with a trunk (T), a right sleeve (MD) and a left sleeve (MS), includes the steps of: producing a tubular textile article (3), by means of a textile machine, having a shape with cylindrical surface extended around a central axis (X) between an upper edge (4) and a lower edge (5), wherein on the tubular textile article a front side (6) and a rear side (7) are definable, divided from each other with respect to a median plane (A); defining or identifying the textile article a plurality of cutting lines; cutting the textile article along the plurality of cutting lines so as to define and separate a plurality of fabric portions from one another; joining the fabric portions so as to obtain the trunk (T) of the garment, the right sleeve (MD) and the left sleeve (MS). Following the joining step, the garment (1) obtained from the tubular textile article exhibits zones of passage between the trunk (T) and the right (MD) and left (MS) sleeves lacking seams or discontinuities in the fabric, i.e. the passage from the fabric of the trunk to the fabric of the right and left sleeves occurs without interruptions.

Abstract

A circular textile knitting machine includes a drive chain for each needle inserted in a respective longitudinal groove, located below a respective needle and operatively interposed between the respective needle and actuating cams. The drive chain includes a sub-needle arranged below the needle and engaged with the needle to be axially moved in the respective longitudinal groove together with the needle. The sub-needle includes a movable butt radially movable between an operating position, in which it is extracted to be engaged with respective first paths defined by first actuating cams and cause activation of the needle, and a non-operating position, in which it is retracted to not be engaged with the first paths. A selector is partly located below the sub-needle and partly alongside the sub-needle and is configured for oscillating between an active position, in which it pushes the movable butt into the operating position, and a rest position, in which it allows the movable butt to return into the non-operating position. The selector is axially uncoupled from the sub-needle and from the needle in a manner such that the needle and the sub-needle are never pushed or pulled axially by the selector. A selecting device acts upon command on the selectors so as to cause the passage thereof into the active position.

At least one shaped sinker is placed beside each of the knockover sinkers and is movable with respect to the respective knockover sinker. The shaped sinker has a protrusion offset laterally with respect to the respective knockover sinker and configured for elongating an interstitch, arranging it on an adjacent needle and forming an open work. A selector is operatively coupled with the shaped sinker and is oscillating in a radial plane between a rest position and an operating position, wherein in the operating position the selector acts indirectly upon the shaped sinker so as to deviate the trajectory of the shaped sinker. A selecting actuator faces laterally the crown and can be engaged upon command with the selectors for causing the selectors to switch from the rest position to the operating position.
