Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sliding needle for a knitting machine, comprising a needle provided with a spout and a slider provided with a heel, a spout and a shoulder of mesh support, this slider being movable relative to the needle to close and open the needle beak by its beak and to cause a mesh through its beak and its shoulder to perform a mesh transfer.
  • the first sliding needle for industrial use created by J. F. WILCOMB in 1924, has a needle moving inside a slide. This construction only allowed the closure of the needle beak, but not the mesh transfer by the slide.
  • the sliding needle is sometimes equipped with a patch attached to the side of the needle ( DE 36 24 038 ).
  • the object of the invention is to provide a sliding needle according to claim 1, which offers new possibilities of knitting, in particular the possibility of punching without needles and auxiliary punches.
  • the slide needle according to the invention is characterized in that the slide has a U-shaped profile through which it overlaps the needle, and that it is split in its end region, including the spout, to let a needle pass or an opposite slide for executing a mesh transfer or punching.
  • the sliding needle according to the invention therefore not only makes it possible to ensure the known function of mesh transfer, but also the punching function for the needles of the opposite needle bed, by simply moving a bed. It is thus possible to do without auxiliary needle bed and its punches.
  • the slide overlapping the needle it can withdraw into the slide with one or more meshes, while another mesh can remain on the slide held in the up position.
  • the meshes on the slides can then be transferred to the slides or in the beaks of the needles of the same needle bed or the opposite needle bed. With the same needle, it is thus possible to separate meshes and to work them in different ways.
  • the latter In order not to injure the mesh or meshes which are thus inside the slide, the latter has, for a part of its length from its beak, an inner width substantially greater than the thickness of the needle so as to allow the passage of the mesh or stitches in the beak of the needle.
  • the movements required for the different operations of the slide needle according to the invention are of very small amplitude. This reduces the length of the cam carrier, reduces the stroke of the carriage and increases the production of knitting.
  • the attached drawing represents, as example, an embodiment of the sliding needle according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a side view in forming position.
  • Figure 2 is a side view of the slide alone.
  • Figure 3 is a top view of the slide, in the direction of the arrow, Figure 2.
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view along IV - IV of FIG. 2.
  • Figure 5 shows the slide needle in the mesh transfer preparation position.
  • Figure 6 shows the slide needle in the mesh transfer position.
  • Figure 7 shows the sliding needle in the punching position by the slider of a needle of the opposite needle bed.
  • the slide needle shown consists of a needle 1 and a slide 2 within which the needle 1 slides.
  • the needle 1 is provided with a spout 3 at its end.
  • the needle 1 has no heel because it is supposed to be driven by a key. It could however be provided with one or more heels for its drive by the cams of the cam carrier.
  • the slide 2 has a U-shaped profile (FIG. 4) through which it overlaps the needle 1.
  • the slide 2 is provided with a heel 4 for its drive and at the front it has a spout 5 of which the upper part is located below the level of the back of the slide so as to form a shoulder 6.
  • the sides of the slide are closed along a line of joint 15 so as to form a rounded sliding surface for the sts.
  • the edges of these sides are further rounded between the end of the spout 5 and the lower edges 8 of the slide.
  • the U-shaped profile is interrupted over a certain length so as to form a passage 7 at the back of the slide.
  • FIGS. 1, 5, 6 and 7, schematically represented the profile of two opposite needle beds 9 and 10 of a straight double-needle knitting machine.
  • Figure 5 shows the slide needle in the mesh transfer preparation position. Needle 1 is in the up position. By sliding on the needle the wire 12 is raised above the nozzle 5 of the slide.
  • the needle 1 is shown in the down position.
  • the slide 2 is high and the mesh 12 bears against the shoulder 6 of the slide.
  • a needle 1 'of the opposite needle 10 can engage in the slide 2 and through it through its passage 7 to enter a mesh carried by the slide 2 for its transfer.
  • the spout 3 of the needle 1 is in the U-shaped part of the slide.
  • the clearance between the needle 1 and the slide 2 allows the mesh or meshes in the spout 3 of the needle to engage in the slide without being injured.
  • FIG. 7 represents the sliding needle in the same position as FIG. 6, but instead of being an opposite needle 1 'which engages in the slide 2, it is the corresponding slide 2' which engages 2.
  • the mesh that was on the nozzle of the slide 2 is on the slide 2 '.
  • the function of the slide 2 ' is thus that of a punch.
  • the needle bed 10 can be moved to the left or to the right in order to transfer the meshes carried by the slides 2 'onto needles 1 of the needle bed 9 or on the slides 2 of the needle bed 9 at the end of a transfer onto the needles. 10. All the possibilities are open.
