Definitions
- This invention relates to a device intended for application to knitting machines, in particular linear knitting machines adapted for producing so-called inlaid knitted fabrics, comprising a plurality of rod-like elements moving longitudinally of the knitting machine, each rod-like element rigidly supporting a respective multiplicity of yarn guiding members supplying yarn to a corresponding multiplicity of needles of the knitting machine held in predetermined positions, and respective stop elements rigidly connected to said rod-like elements and engaging abutment guide portions moving transversely of the knitting machine to restrict the longitudinal travel of the rod-like elements.
- An inlaid knitted fabric refers herein to a type of knitwork, well known in the art, which is enlivened with patterns reproducing in general geometric figures, such as lozenges, rectangles, and the like, which knitwork, contrary for instance to the Jacquard knitwork, has an almost identical appearance both on the plain and purl sides.
- a device of the above type wherein the stop elements comprise, for each thread carrier rod, a lug abutting against two sets of droppers, each carried and brought in or out of action by a respective lever system controlled by bands of perforated cards.
- the stop elements comprise, for each thread carrier rod, a lug abutting against two sets of droppers, each carried and brought in or out of action by a respective lever system controlled by bands of perforated cards.
- four carrier rods are provided, one for ground carriers, one for colour carriers, and two for selvedge carriers, wherein one band of perforated cards controls the traverse of the ground carrier rod, one the traverse of the two selvedge carrier rods and two the traverse of the colour carrier rod.
- ground carrier rod and colour carrier rod are separately controlled so that a tedious and difficult programming procedure is involved and locating errors can occur which, by summing on, prevent a high quality inlaid knitted fabric from being obtained.
- the task of this invention is to provide a device of the above indicated general type, solving the problem of considerably reducing the possibility of errors in the locating of the yarn guiding members, thereby providing very high fineness inlaid knitted fabrics of high quality in a simple and reliable manner.
- the device of this invention comprises a metal support base body 1, of substantially rectangular shape, wherein there are defined sliding movement guides 2 which extend transversely across the full width of the supporting body 1.
- sliding movement guides 2 In the sliding movement guides 2, there is slidably engaged a plate-like element 3, which will be explained hereinafter with reference to Figure 3 and is adapted for being slidably advanced stepwise back and forth along said sliding movement guides 2.
- the plate-like element 3 With the plate-like element 3, there are associated, e.g. through screw fasteners 4, two metal strips, indicated at 5 and 6 respectively.
- the strips 5 and 6 are arranged substantially V-like, the distance to the base of the "V" and the slope or inclination of the strips 5 and 6 being preset during the designing stage in accordance with the dimensions of the knitted pattern to be produced and the machine fineness.
- two flanges 7 and 8 which carry, in turn, rod-like guiding elements 9 and 10 respectively, wherealong there can be reciprocated in the directions shown by the arrows two carriage units 11 and 12, respectively, the reciprocating motion being imparted to the carriages 11 and 12 through a suitable actuating mechanism which will be explained hereinafter and reciprocates metal web or band-like elements 13 and 14 engaged respectively with the carriages 11 and 12 and passed around small wheels or pulleys 15, 16 and 17,18, the wheels 15 and 17 and 16 and 18, respectively, being carried rotatably by small shafts 19 and 20 which are fixedly associated, e.g.
- each carriage 11, 12 there is associated a pin or peg element 23, 24 respectively, wherewith are in turn associated bars 25 supporting the yarn feeding fingers or tubes GF (shown in Figure 9).
- the carriage elements 11 and 12 there are respectively rigid two supporting plates 26, 27, with the plate 26 there being associated two pin stop elements 28, 29, and with the plate 27 there being associated a respective pin stop element 30.
- the stop elements 28 and 29 limit, by abutting against the outer surfaces of the strips 5 and 6, the reciprocating movement of the carriage 11, and accordingly of the yarn feeding finger supporting bar (not shown in Figure 1) associated therewith, whilst the stop element 30 limits, by abutting against the inner surfaces of the strips 5 and 6, the reciprocating movement of the carriage 12, and accordingly of the respective bar 25 supporting the yarn feeding fingers GF supported thereby.
- the extent of movement of the carriages will depend on the position of the plate 3 and inclination of the strips 5 and 6 thereto, it being from this very stage of the description noticeable that, at each instant, the sum of the travel distance of the carriage 11 plus the travel distance of the carriage 12 corresponds to a preset number of needles in the knitting machine, e.g. 40 needles, which number will be dictated by the dimensions of the patterns to be knitted.
- a preset number of needles in the knitting machine e.g. 40 needles, which number will be dictated by the dimensions of the patterns to be knitted.
- the carriage 12 will be at a zero travel condition, that is with its stop pin 30 wedged in the apex of the "V", such travel movements being obviously determined by the position of the plate 3 and strips 5 and 6, under the control and/or programmed timing by the knitting machine actuating members.
- the pawl elements 35 and 36 are biased by two respective springs 41 and 42 having their ends secured to the pins 43 and 44 on the strips 37 and 38 and 45, 46 on the pawl elements 35 and 36 themselves.
- Strip elements 47 and 48 are slidably received in guides formed in the base body 1, and are adapted for reciprocating back and forth to respectively inhibit and allow the pawls 35 and 36 to engage with the rack teeth 33 or 34.
- the strips 47 and 48 are provided, at an intermediate portion thereof, with ports or openings 49 and 50, formed through the strips themselves such as not to break their continuity, thereby said strips are enabled to move as a unitary structure in their guiding grooves.
- travel movement which is controlled by either electromagnetic or mechanical means (not shown)
- the strips 47 and 48 being further guided by small plates 51, 52, 53 and 54 integrally formed on the base body 1, are engaged in a swinging manner with small levers 55 and 56 having the other end swivelled to a small shaft 57, in turn attached rigidly to small blocks 58 and 59 which are in turn affixed to the base body 1, as by thread engagement.
- the strips 47 and 48 have at their ends slots wherein there engage for connection elongate head pins or pegs 60, 61 which are rigid with the levers 55 and 56, respectively. Additional pins (not shown), rigid with the levers 55 and 56, and located at a lower level than the pins 60, 61, function as the securing elements for respective ends of return springs 62, 63 having their other ends linked to a plate 64 made rigid, through four cylindrical rods 65 (of which only the two upper ones are shown), with the blocks 58, 59, and thus with the base body 1. It will be appreciated from the foregoing how the forward and rearward advance movements of the plate 3, and strips 5 and 6, are obtained.
- the strips 37 and 38 slide in their respective guiding grooves provided on the base body 1, being further guided by the guiding plates 66 affixed to the base body 1 and abutting against said additional guiding plates 51, 52, 53, 54.
- the plate 3 will be advanced stepwise forward or rearward, to thus limit, step by step, the extent of the translatory movement of the carriage units 11 and 12, and accordingly of the supporting bars 25 for the yarn feeding fingers GF associated therewith.
- the yarn feeding fingers GF will engage an ever variable number of needles in the front and rear needle beds (not shown) of the knitting machine, thus providing the desired lozenge pattern, because, as mentioned hereinabove, the sum of the travel distances of the carriages 11 and 12 corresponds, step by step, to a preset number of needles.
- this mechanism is located below the base body 1, that is below the carriages 11 and 12. It substantially comprises a horizontal shaft 67, supported at its ends, whereon a gear 68 is keyed which receives a reciprocating oscillatory motion from means, not shown, associated with the knitting machine, the motion being transmitted, for example, by means of a drive chain.
- a gear 68 is keyed to the shaft 67, there are keyed permanently two sleeve portions 67', against which there abut cylindrical bushings 69 and 71 respectively, an additional bushing or ring 70 being arranged on the shaft 67 between the bushings 69 and 71.
- the central cylindrical bushing 70 has four pin elements 72 at diametrically opposed locations, only two such pins being shown in Figure 6.
- Rigid with the outer cylindrical bushings 69 and 71 are two portions of cylindrical rods, indicated at 74 and 73 respectively, on which cylindrical rods elements 75 and 76 are slidable, stop nuts being provided on the rod portions 73 and 74 to prevent the elements 75 and 76 from sliding off.
- the cylindrical rods 73 and 74 have threaded end portions 77, and the elements 75 and 76, which are slidable on said rods, have respective bifurcated ends 78, the bifurcated portions 78 being engageable with the pins 72 of the cylindrical bushing 70.
- the assemblies including the bushings 69 and 71, cylindrical rods 74 and 73, and elements 76 and 75 are identical.
- springs 79 are stretched between respective ends of the elements 75 and 76, two springs 79 being provided for each element 75, 76.
- the bifurcated ends 78 of the elements 75 and 76 substantially abut against the sleeve 67'.
- a small belt or band 14 for the reciprocation of the carriage 11 the belt driving the carriage 12 associated with the ends of the rod 74 being omitted from Figure 7.
- the carriage driving mechanism enables, while maintaining the oscillation of the shaft 67 fixed, a variable reciprocation of the two carriages, and this by virtue of the "lost motion" feature of the springs 79. In that manner, and step by step, the sum of the translation of one carriage plus the translation of the other carriage will actually correspond to a constant number of needles.
- the carriages allows the needles to protrude from the needle beds and the yarn is deposited thereon by means of the feeding fingers GF being oscillated and translated by the carriages 11 and 12; subsequently, the carriage will actuate the needles which have already been fed with the yarn, such as to produce the knitted fabric.
- Figure 8 shows more in detail, and in perspective, one of the identical yarn feeding finger carrying carriages, Figure 9 showing the yarn feeding fingers GF for the patterning bar and complementary one respectively, and Figures 10 to 13 illustrate some inlaid knitwork patterns to be obtained with the device of this invention.
- the range of patterns to be obtained with the inventive device is quite a broad one, because through a suitable timing of the knitting machine movements, one can obtain, in addition to the conventional lozenge motif pattern shown in Figure 10, more intricate patterns, such as those shown in Figure 13, having a substantially rectangular middle portion.
- a device for producing sculptured or inlaid knitwork which can be applied to linear knitting machines and wherein the yarn guiding members or tubes are supported on and simultaneously driven, in pluralities, by only two bars thereby reducing to a minimum the locating errors of said yarn guiding members and providing an inlaid knitted fabric of high fineness and quality.
- this device is structurally simple and has shown to be actually reliable in operation, and has enabled the knitting of inlaid pattern knitwork on machines having a high number of needles per linear inch, which was not possible heretofore with conventional methods.
- a device can be designed including more than two yarn guiding member supporting bars or rods.
- the strips limiting the longitudinal travel of the yarn feeding finger carrying carriages may be arranged in a differently angled V-like configuration, such as to either increase or decrease the number of the needles brought to operate.
- a base body capable of accommodating different plate-like elements, with different shapes from the basic "V", or to provide plate-like elements which can accommodate different strips or change the position of the associated strips, such as to produce varying shape and dimension patterns.
- the forward or rearward advance of the strip-carrying plate instead of being implemented with the racks shown, could be obtained through any equivalent means, such as a step motor.
- inventive device may be applied to any machine for producing knitted fabrics, even to needle-less ones having other knitting devices, e.g. small tubes shaped to produce inlaid effect patterns.

Description
- This invention relates to a device intended for application to knitting machines, in particular linear knitting machines adapted for producing so-called inlaid knitted fabrics, comprising a plurality of rod-like elements moving longitudinally of the knitting machine, each rod-like element rigidly supporting a respective multiplicity of yarn guiding members supplying yarn to a corresponding multiplicity of needles of the knitting machine held in predetermined positions, and respective stop elements rigidly connected to said rod-like elements and engaging abutment guide portions moving transversely of the knitting machine to restrict the longitudinal travel of the rod-like elements.
- An inlaid knitted fabric refers herein to a type of knitwork, well known in the art, which is enlivened with patterns reproducing in general geometric figures, such as lozenges, rectangles, and the like, which knitwork, contrary for instance to the Jacquard knitwork, has an almost identical appearance both on the plain and purl sides.
- From GB-A-360 545 a device of the above type is known, wherein the stop elements comprise, for each thread carrier rod, a lug abutting against two sets of droppers, each carried and brought in or out of action by a respective lever system controlled by bands of perforated cards. In this patent four carrier rods are provided, one for ground carriers, one for colour carriers, and two for selvedge carriers, wherein one band of perforated cards controls the traverse of the ground carrier rod, one the traverse of the two selvedge carrier rods and two the traverse of the colour carrier rod. In the praxis ground carrier rod and colour carrier rod are separately controlled so that a tedious and difficult programming procedure is involved and locating errors can occur which, by summing on, prevent a high quality inlaid knitted fabric from being obtained.
- Therefore, the task of this invention is to provide a device of the above indicated general type, solving the problem of considerably reducing the possibility of errors in the locating of the yarn guiding members, thereby providing very high fineness inlaid knitted fabrics of high quality in a simple and reliable manner.
- The aforesaid task is solved with the features resulting from the characterizing part of
Claim 1. - Further features and advantages of the device according to this invention will be more apparent from the following detailed description of an embodiment thereof, illustrated by way of example and not of limitation in the accompanying drawings, where:
- Figure 1 is a fragmentary top plan view of a device according to this invention;
- Figure 2 is a partly cut-away detail view of the device shown in Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a fragmentary perspective view of one of the component elements of the device shown in Figure 1;
- Figure 4 is a further fragmentary perspective representation, with parts omitted for clarity, of the device shown in Figure 1;
- Figure 5 is a fragmentary side view of the device of Figure 1;
- Figure 6 is a top plan view of the actuating mechanism for the device shown in Figure 1;
- Figure 7 illustrates, in a partly elevational and partially plan schematic view, the device of Figure 1, as associated with its related actuating mechanism shown in Figure 6;
- Figure 8 is a fragmentary perspective view showing one of the carriage units associated with the device of Figure 1;
- Figure 9 illustrates the configuration of the yarn feeding elements associated with the inventive device; and
- Figures 10 to 13 show individual inlaid patterns to be obtained with the device according to the invention.
- While the invention will be thereinbelow described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it should be clear that this embodiment is given only by way of an indicative and not limitative example since the inventive idea which, as it will become more apparent hereinafter, is that of simultaneously moving one or more pluralities of yarn guiding members, will permit to those skilled in the art to easily make other yarn guiding member driving devices, either mechanically or electronically controlled, in such a way as to minimize said yarn guiding members locating errors.
- Referring now to the cited drawings, and particularly to Figures 1 and 2, there are respectively shown a fragmentary plan view and fragmentary cut-away plan view of a device for knitting inlaid pattern knitted fabrics according to the invention, from such views there being omitted the actuating mechanism, which is also an integral part of this invention and will be described more in detail hereinafter with reference to Figures 5-7.
- As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, the device of this invention comprises a metal
support base body 1, of substantially rectangular shape, wherein there are defined slidingmovement guides 2 which extend transversely across the full width of the supportingbody 1. In thesliding movement guides 2, there is slidably engaged a plate-like element 3, which will be explained hereinafter with reference to Figure 3 and is adapted for being slidably advanced stepwise back and forth along said slidingmovement guides 2. With the plate-like element 3, there are associated, e.g. throughscrew fasteners 4, two metal strips, indicated at 5 and 6 respectively. Thestrips strips base body 1 there are associated, at the edges thereof, twoflanges elements carriage units carriages like elements carriages pulleys wheels small shafts 19 and 20 which are fixedly associated, e.g. through securingblocks flanges carriage peg element bars 25 supporting the yarn feeding fingers or tubes GF (shown in Figure 9). With thecarriage elements plates plate 26 there being associated twopin stop elements plate 27 there being associated a respectivepin stop element 30. As may be observed, thestop elements strips carriage 11, and accordingly of the yarn feeding finger supporting bar (not shown in Figure 1) associated therewith, whilst thestop element 30 limits, by abutting against the inner surfaces of thestrips carriage 12, and accordingly of therespective bar 25 supporting the yarn feeding fingers GF supported thereby. Obviously, the extent of movement of the carriages will depend on the position of theplate 3 and inclination of thestrips carriage 11 plus the travel distance of thecarriage 12 corresponds to a preset number of needles in the knitting machine, e.g. 40 needles, which number will be dictated by the dimensions of the patterns to be knitted. Thus, for example, when thecarriage 11 completes its full travel, e.g. along the major diagonal of the lozenges shown in Figure 10, thecarriage 12 will be at a zero travel condition, that is with itsstop pin 30 wedged in the apex of the "V", such travel movements being obviously determined by the position of theplate 3 and strips 5 and 6, under the control and/or programmed timing by the knitting machine actuating members. - With reference now to Figures 2 to 4 as well, the manner will be described how the
plate 3 is reciprocated through thesupport body 1. As may be seen, with theplate 3, there is fixedly associated, e.g. by means ofscrews 31, a further plate-like element 32 of a smaller size than theplate 3, which extends substantially across the width of theplate 3, centrally thereto. Along part of the length of the plate-like element 3, and at the two longitudinal edges thereof, there are formed a plurality ofrack teeth teeth advance pawls strips cross link 39 being rigidly connected as at 40 to an oscillating driveshaft (not shown). As may be seen, thepawl elements respective springs pins strips pawl elements Strip elements base body 1, and are adapted for reciprocating back and forth to respectively inhibit and allow thepawls rack teeth strips openings strips small plates base body 1, are engaged in a swinging manner withsmall levers small shaft 57, in turn attached rigidly tosmall blocks base body 1, as by thread engagement. More specifically, thestrips pegs 60, 61 which are rigid with thelevers levers pins 60, 61, function as the securing elements for respective ends ofreturn springs 62, 63 having their other ends linked to aplate 64 made rigid, through four cylindrical rods 65 (of which only the two upper ones are shown), with theblocks base body 1. It will be appreciated from the foregoing how the forward and rearward advance movements of theplate 3, andstrips link 39 is oscillated, thestrips base body 1, being further guided by the guidingplates 66 affixed to thebase body 1 and abutting against said additional guidingplates ports strips link 39, theplate 3 will be advanced stepwise forward or rearward, to thus limit, step by step, the extent of the translatory movement of thecarriage units bars 25 for the yarn feeding fingers GF associated therewith. Thus, assuming that theplate 3 is being advanced forward, the yarn feeding fingers GF will engage an ever variable number of needles in the front and rear needle beds (not shown) of the knitting machine, thus providing the desired lozenge pattern, because, as mentioned hereinabove, the sum of the travel distances of thecarriages - Making now specific reference to Figures 5 to 7, the translation mechanism for the
carriages - As may be seen, this mechanism is located below the
base body 1, that is below thecarriages horizontal shaft 67, supported at its ends, whereon agear 68 is keyed which receives a reciprocating oscillatory motion from means, not shown, associated with the knitting machine, the motion being transmitted, for example, by means of a drive chain. To theshaft 67, there are keyed permanently two sleeve portions 67', against which there abutcylindrical bushings ring 70 being arranged on theshaft 67 between thebushings shaft 67. The centralcylindrical bushing 70 has fourpin elements 72 at diametrically opposed locations, only two such pins being shown in Figure 6. Rigid with the outercylindrical bushings cylindrical rods elements rod portions elements cylindrical rods end portions 77, and theelements ends 78, the bifurcatedportions 78 being engageable with thepins 72 of thecylindrical bushing 70. It should be noted that relatively to thecylindrical bushing 70, the assemblies including thebushings cylindrical rods elements springs 79 are stretched between respective ends of theelements springs 79 being provided for eachelement bifurcated ends 78 of theelements rod 73, there is stretched a small belt orband 14 for the reciprocation of thecarriage 11, the belt driving thecarriage 12 associated with the ends of therod 74 being omitted from Figure 7. - The operation of the mechanism just described is self-explanatory. As the
shaft 67 is being rotated, in either direction, through thegear 68 receiving its motion from motor means, not shown, associated with the knitting machine, the mechanism will oscillate back and forth as a whole, the shaft being supported at its ends, and thepins 72 will tend to spread apart, against the bias of therespective springs 79, theelements strips shaft 67 being "taken in" by thesprings 79. In other terms, the carriage driving mechanism according to this invention enables, while maintaining the oscillation of theshaft 67 fixed, a variable reciprocation of the two carriages, and this by virtue of the "lost motion" feature of thesprings 79. In that manner, and step by step, the sum of the translation of one carriage plus the translation of the other carriage will actually correspond to a constant number of needles. More specifically, whereas in conventional inlaid knitwork knitting machines the yarn is deposited on the needles by the feeding fingers under the action of the carriage, which then leaves the needles fully depressed after each knitting cycle such that they do not protrude out of the bed, with this invention, the carriages allows the needles to protrude from the needle beds and the yarn is deposited thereon by means of the feeding fingers GF being oscillated and translated by thecarriages - It will be apparent from the foregoing that the invention fully achieves its objects. In particular, a device has been proposed for producing sculptured or inlaid knitwork which can be applied to linear knitting machines and wherein the yarn guiding members or tubes are supported on and simultaneously driven, in pluralities, by only two bars thereby reducing to a minimum the locating errors of said yarn guiding members and providing an inlaid knitted fabric of high fineness and quality. Moreover, this device is structurally simple and has shown to be actually reliable in operation, and has enabled the knitting of inlaid pattern knitwork on machines having a high number of needles per linear inch, which was not possible heretofore with conventional methods.
- While the invention has been specifically described with reference to one embodiment thereof, it should be understood that, in the light of the teachings provided, it is susceptible to many modifications and variations without departing from the purview of the instant inventive concept.
- Thus, for example, a device can be designed including more than two yarn guiding member supporting bars or rods.
- Moreover, although reference has been made to forty needles, it will be apparent that the strips limiting the longitudinal travel of the yarn feeding finger carrying carriages may be arranged in a differently angled V-like configuration, such as to either increase or decrease the number of the needles brought to operate. Additionally thereto, and still within the scope of this invention, it will be possible through simple alterations well within the skill of an expert, to provide a base body capable of accommodating different plate-like elements, with different shapes from the basic "V", or to provide plate-like elements which can accommodate different strips or change the position of the associated strips, such as to produce varying shape and dimension patterns.
- Furthermore, the forward or rearward advance of the strip-carrying plate, instead of being implemented with the racks shown, could be obtained through any equivalent means, such as a step motor. Lastly, it should be noted that the inventive device may be applied to any machine for producing knitted fabrics, even to needle-less ones having other knitting devices, e.g. small tubes shaped to produce inlaid effect patterns.
