METHOD FOR MAKING KNITTED FABRIC SAMPLE, METHOD FOR DESIGNING KNIT, DEVICE FOR MEASURING YARN DIAMETER, AND APPARATUS FOR MAKING KNITTED FABRIC SAMPLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a knitted fabric sample to be efficiently made without trial knitting.;SOLUTION: An enlarged image of a yarn is displayed, and the input of a boundary position between the yarn body and a fluff part at both edges in the thickness direction of the yarn by a user is accepted on the enlarged image. Two boundary marks parallel in the longitudinal direction of the yarn are displayed on the enlarged image so as to pass the accepted boundary position, and the yarn diameter is calculated from the distance between the two boundary marks. A suitable gage of a knitting machine is obtained from the yarn diameter calculated by a gage-translating means. A loop shape in the knitted fabric is obtained based on the yarn diameter by a loop shape-translating means. An image of the knitted fabric sample is made by loop simulation from the translated loop shape and the image of the yarn by inputting the image of the yarn to provide the objective knitted fabric sample.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
