Class / Patent application number | Description | Number of patent applications / Date published |
700141000 | Knitting | 10 |
20090082898 | Knit simulation device, knit simulation method, and program thereof - The presence or absence of putting round of a yarn is detected according to whether carriers are positioned on a near side or a far side and according to the relationship of connection between loops, and the result is displayed on a monitor. On the monitor, for example, the degree of the deformation of the yarn is changed according to the presence or absence of putting round when the yarn is touched, or a color is changed according to the presence or absence of putting round. The presence or absence of putting round of the yarn can be detected and then displayed to a user. | 03-26-2009 |
20100145495 | LOOP SIMULATION APPARATUS, METHOD AND PROGRAM THEREOF - Shift of each stitch in a fabric is repeated and converged to eliminate the difference between distances to surrounding stitches and a default value, the deviation of an angle formed by a line connecting the right/left stitches and a line connecting the upper/lower stitches from 90°, the difference of an angle formed by the right/left stitches formed | 06-10-2010 |
20110010001 | DIGITAL GARMENT USING KNITTING TECHNOLOGY AND FABRICATING METHOD THEREOF - A digital garment and a fabrication method thereof are provided. The digital garment is fabricated using a knitting technique. The digital garment comprises a plurality of knitting yarns forming loops at regular intervals and interwoven through the loops, and one or more conductive digital yarns tied to the loops of the knitting yarns to form high-speed information communication circuits. The knitting yarns and the digital yarns are knitted together into a garment. During knitting, the digital yarns are used to form high-speed information communication circuits in a rapid and economical manner. | 01-13-2011 |
20110010002 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR KNITTING FABRIC USING ELASTIC YARMS - To provide an apparatus and a method for knitting fabric using elastic yarns, in which the elastic yarns are able to be used while correcting the difference between the set tension and the actual tension without being subject to a lowered knitting efficiency or restrictions to knitting patterns. | 01-13-2011 |
20120296465 | Interactive knitting and crocheting system - The interactive knitting and crocheting system includes at least one crocheting or knitting needle with a motion-based sensing capability integrated therein and a computing means. The computing means monitors movement of the respective needle to monitor proper crocheting or knitting technique, and upon detection of improper technique will provide an alert that an error has occurred, which shall prevent waste in work. The computing means provides notice of improper technique in the form of an audiovisual means, which can double as an instructional aid in teaching how to crochet or knit. The computing means also provides progress as to the stitch and pattern formed. | 11-22-2012 |
20130261785 | SHEARED WOOL WEAVING METHOD - A method of manufacturing an article of footwear includes providing a knitting machine having a processor programmed to cause the knitting machine to knit a wool pile fabric having a plurality of footwear components and simultaneously knitting wool fibers and a scrim to form the wool pile fabric including the footwear components. | 10-03-2013 |
20140257550 | METHOD FOR MANAGING AND ELIMINATING FLOAT THREADS IN KNITTED GARMENTS - A method for reducing the occurrence of float threads on the surface of a machine-knitted fabric. Beginning with an initial programmed pattern describing yarn used at each stitch in a knitting pattern, the present method identifies stitches that will create float threads, sorts the identified float threads, giving priority to those float threads that would most limit stretch in a knitted garment, taking into account factors such as float thread length, location in a garment and yarn stretch. Then, in order of the sorted float thread list, the present method assigns additional yarns of the same characteristics as the original yarns to available yarn feeds to minimize the eventual creation of float threads in the knitted fabric. Multiple passes are made through the programmed pattern until no additional floats can be mitigated, or until a predetermined number of passes has been completed. | 09-11-2014 |
20150039120 | SIMPLIFIED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING THE FEED OF A PLURALITY OF YARNS AT CONSTANT TENSION AND/OR VELOCITY TO A TEXTILE MACHINE - A system and method for managing the feed of a plurality of yarns at constant tension and/or velocity to a textile machine of circular, loom or yarn preparation type, the yarns being fed to the machine by a corresponding plurality of feed devices. Setting controller is provided, connected to the plurality of devices and arranged to set their operation, the setting controller receiving synchronization signals from the machine and measuring on the basis of these signals every portion of an article production cycle, the cycle being divided into different stages, the setting controller acting on each individual feed device on the basis of the stages such that each feed device feeds the respective yarn with predefined tension and/or velocity individual to each of the stages. | 02-05-2015 |
20150308021 | PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING KNITWEAR, HOSIERY TEXTILE ITEMS OR SEAMLESS ITEMS WITH VARIABLE COMPRESSION - A process for manufacturing knitwear, hosiery textile items or seamless items with variable compression on circular weft knitting machines, comprising the steps of activating a program for manufacturing a textile ( | 10-29-2015 |
20160040329 | LACROSSE HEAD POCKET AND RELATED METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - A lacrosse head pocket and a related method of manufacture are provided to facilitate consistent, repeatable and/or custom manufacture of lacrosse equipment. The pocket can be constructed from multiple different sections joined with one another, or can be knitted, weaved or otherwise assembled on an automated assembly machine from strands, and/or can be formed as a unitary textile material having regions/sections with different physical and/or mechanical properties. The pocket can be integrally molded within portions of a lacrosse head to eliminate manually constructed connections between the pocket and lacrosse head. The lacrosse head can be integrally molded with a lacrosse handle to provide a one-piece unitary lacrosse stick. Related methods of manufacturing also are provided. | 02-11-2016 |
