  • Patent number: 7529596
    Abstract: A knitting method of knit pants knitted using a flat knitting machine, wherein the knitting starts at a side part on either right side or left side including a side part of a vertical rise part and a side part of a leg part and ends at a side part on the other leg side including a side part of a vertical rise part and a side part of a leg part. A front knitted fabric part and a back knitted fabric part are knitted in the following steps so that a length of the front knitted fabric part from the side to the crotch can be made shorter than a length of the back knitted fabric part from the side to the crotch.

  • Patent number: 7481078
    Abstract: An improved knitting method for joining together a front body part and a back body part of knitwear at the shoulder parts. In the knitting method in which groups of stitches comprising a plurality of wales of the body located at a widthwise lateral end portion thereof on the side on which a course is formed are moved toward a center of the body by loop transfer and by racking, to form double stitches, the groups of stitches at the lateral end portion comprise at least four wales, the at least four wales being separated into three or more inside wales and at least one outside wale, and the narrowing process is performed by moving the inside wales one stitch and moving the outside wale two stitches.

  • Publication number: 20080279000
    Abstract: There is provided a high-density mask ROM operable at a high speed. With the mask ROM, respective source lines are disposed so as to be shared by memory cells in respective columns adjacent to each other, and bit lines are disposed so as to correspond to the respective columns of the memory cells. Further, the dummy cells are disposed for the respective columns of the memory cells. The dummy cells are each made up of a series-circuit including a first switching transistor that is turned into the conducting state in response to a signal potential on a dummy word line (DWL), and a second switching transistor 17 for coupling an adjacent source line to the bit line corresponding thereto in response to a potential of the source line in a column corresponding thereto. The memory cells each are made up of one unit of a transistor and a data storage formed by mask wiring.

  • Patent number: 7383705
    Abstract: When knitting a tubular knitted fabric having a difference in the number of wales between a front knitted fabric and a back knitted fabric, knitted fabrics are knitted alternately while turning the tubular knitted fabric and jointing the front section having a large number of wales at middle portions. In one example embodiment, turning is performed such that one boundary of boundaries coupling the fabrics is positioned between front and back needle beds. The numbers of wales of the fabrics caught on the needle beds on both sides are equalized and the fabric of the front section having a large number of wales is knitted from one boundary to the joints at a middle portion of the knitting width. Subsequently, the tubular fabric is turned such that the other boundary is positioned between the needle beds, and the fabric is knitted from the boundary of the front section to the joints and then coupled.

  • Publication number: 20080028800
    Abstract: A knitting operation and a missing operation are alternately performed at the end portion of a knit fabric around a neck hole to reduce stitch density to less than that on the inside of the knit fabric, the stitch at the end part of the knit fabric is moved every three stitch courses to reduce a knitting width in increments of one stitch, and the stitch is formed at an empty needle resulting from the movement. Knitting conditions are also excellent since a neck hole or an armhole can be formed at a large slope such as two stitches in the horizontal direction every six stitch courses, and holing in the neck hole or an armhole can also be prevented, while, in addition, the wales are not laterally moved on the inside of the knit fabric.

  • Patent number: 7051555
    Abstract: A method for seamlessly knitting knitwear having a broad neckline with a flat knitting machine includes forming a neckline by a first step in which a breast is knitted by branching off into right and left breasts from its front neckline forming portion. All knitted loops, excluding those of either the right or left breast to be knitted and including those of a front neckline, are transferred to the other empty needles, and knitting for forming increases of the front neckline at the other empty needles is performed while racking the needle bed. In a second step, one of the ends of a back and the end (close to an armhole) of either the right or left breast knitted by the first step are facing each other, and these ends are joined together by shoulder casting off.

  • Patent number: 6988384
    Abstract: In knitting a neck hole, a left front body is knitted on a front needle bed while making widening stitches, and stitches of the neck hole and a right front body both being in halt are transferred onto a back needle bed, and with widening stitch, the back needle bed is racked in a direction moving away from the left front body. After knitting the neck hole of the left front body, the left front body and the neck hole are transferred onto the back needle bed, and the right front body is transferred back to the front needle bed, and the right front body is knitted while making widening stitches. With the widening stitch of the right front body, the back needle bed is racked in a direction moving away from the right front body. In knitting the neck hole (12), wales extending from a take down roller to the knitting point are brought close to the perpendicular direction so that an appropriate take down force is applied to the stitches being knitted.
