Definitions

  • the invention relates to a slider needle for knitting machine comprising a needle provided with a hook and a slide overlapping at least partially the needle and provided with at least one heel, a beak and a shoulder, the bottom of this slide being split longitudinally in its distal region including the beak and the shoulder so as to allow the nozzle to be moved apart by the needle or opposite needle or slide, the slide being displaceable relative to the needle to close and open the hook of the needle and to drive a mesh by its shoulder.
  • the trajectory of the end of the slider is however not sufficiently accurate and moreover, because of the general conception of the needle, the slider can not move beyond of the needle hook, but only performs one movement back and forth between a low position and a high position, relatively to the bottom of the slides.
  • the present invention also aims to enable to knit finer and more regular stitches, and, moreover, to facilitate mesh transfers to one or more receiving elements.
  • the sliding needle according to the invention is characterized in that the needle has special cam-shaped shapes, cooperating with particular shapes of the slide, which constitute exclusively and integrally means of positioning and non-rectilinear guidance of the slide when moving relative to the needle, presenting elevations and lowering, according to a trajectory in all points controlled.
  • these guide means By ensuring a perfectly controlled guidance of the slides, these guide means have the effect of reduce vertical pull as much as possible on the mesh and, consequently, its enlargement. he it is possible to knit finer stitches and more regular.
  • the bottom of the slide is open between the heel and about the middle of the slide and the needle present an arm extending approximately his milleus forward, substantially parallel to the body of the needle, this arm crossing the slide by its open bottom for extend over the full part of the slide to form, with the body of the needle, a fork in which is guided the slide.
  • the inner sides of the fork, as well as the bottom and the back of the part full of the slide are advantageously in the form of cams ensuring the non-rectilinear movement of the slide, that is to say its elevation and its lowering relative to the needle.
  • the slide presents, at the rear, at least one point of support cooperating with the body of the needle to prevent tipping inadvertent slide and / or to induce a moving in a vertical plane from the back of the slide relative to the needle.
  • at least one of the sides of the body of the needle on which rests the fulcrum is cam-shaped.
  • the slider needle consists of a needle 1 and a slider 2 overlapping the needle 1 so similar to the sliding needle described in EP-A-0 881 315.
  • the slide 2 has an inverted U profile, but on only part of its length for reasons that will appear later.
  • the needle 1 is provided, in a conventional manner, a hook 3.
  • the needle 1 is provided with a heel 4 for its drive by the cams of a cam holder.
  • the needle could however be driven by a key.
  • the needle is equipped of an arm 5 extending forward, above the needle itself, parallel to the axis longitudinal direction of the needle, that is to say to the direction of movement of this needle in his needle bed.
  • the needle 1 and the arm 5 form a fork 6 of which the inner sides 7 and 8 have a non-contour rectilinear, cam-shaped.
  • the side 7 shaped cam extends beyond the fork 6 where it presents a depression 9 followed by a ramp 10 rising towards forward. In front of this ramp 10, the needle goes slimming, in a known manner, according to a ramp down 11 to hook 3.
  • the slide 2 has at the front a beak 12 in front a shoulder 13 and it is provided at the rear of a heel 14 for his training.
  • the bottom of the slide 2 is deleted in two places, on the one hand in his distal part, in front of a point 15 located slightly behind the shoulder 13 and, on the other hand, in its rear half 16, between the heel 14 and a point 17 located approximately halfway down the aisle.
  • the distal part of the slide is represented in Figure 3.
  • the interruption of the profile in U of the slide forms a slot 18 which narrows to the end of the slide to form the beak 12 to the end of which the sides of the slot 18 is together. Both sides of the slot 18 can move away from each other elastically.
  • the interruption 16 of the bottom of the slide forms a cutting width corresponding to the thickness of the needle.
  • This cut is crossed by the arm 5 of the needle that extends over the slide proper, that is to say from zone 29 of the slide in which the bottom of the slide is not interrupted.
  • This zone 29 presents externally, at forward a ramp 19 terminated by a nose 20 and, at the back, a slight boss 21.
  • the bottom of the slide has a first boss 22 in its front part and a second boss 23 at the back. Enter these bosses the bottom of the slide presents a slight depression.
  • the slide 2 has two points of support 33 and 34 cooperating respectively with the upper 35 and lower sides 36 of the needle body to prevent tipping untimely slide.
  • These points of support can additionally be used to induce movement extra slide in relation to the needle, for example to retract his heel 14 relative to a cam of the cam carriage or for get a finer and more precise movement of its beak 12.
  • the needle is non-rectilinear, that is, shaped of cam.
  • the fulcrum 33 is formed by a boss from the bottom of the slide and the fulcrum 34 is formed by, for example, embossing the material of walls of the slide.
  • zone 29 of the slide is located in the fork 6 of the needle, which ensures the non-rectilinear guidance of the slide 2 during its displacement.
  • the slide is shown in its most backward position on the needle. In this position, the boss 24 of the arm 5 of the needle is resting on the nose 20 of the slide, which has the effect of positioning the beak 12 of the slides in a low position of minimum height relative to the needle. In this position, two sides of the beak 12 are separated by the needle 1 and well the beak 12 and the depression located behind this beak are in all points below the edge upper needle.
  • FIGS. 4 to 11 represent eight successive positions of the slide relative to the needle from the position shown in Figure 1 which is the same position as that shown in Figure 4.
  • the represented sequence illustrates a mesh transfer.
  • the slide 2 is positioned in the fork 6 by its nose 20 and its boss 22.
  • the beak 12 of the slide open, is located below the upper edge of the needle 1.
  • Both sides of the spout 12 rest on the sides of the needle on two millings 30 which reduce the thickness of the needle and therefore the opening of the beak 12 so as not to exceed the width of the slides.
  • the mesh to be carried 31 is worn by the needle 1 so that it exerts no pressure on the slide 2 which is cantilevered and prevents braking of the slide.
  • the beak 12 is at that moment at a height H1 from the edge of the needle, that is to say with respect to the bottom of the groove of the bed in which slides the needle. This level H1 is the minimum level of the beak 12 on the trajectory of the slide.
  • the slide 2 continues are advanced relying on the high part of constant level 26 of the needle, that is, keeping the H2 level, as shown in Figure 6.
  • the coulisse 2 comes to style the hook 3 of the needle by its beak 12, as shown in Figure 8. This movement corresponds to closing movement of a conventional needle to valve by its flap.
  • the mesh 31 can be seized by an opposite needle (report) or by a slide (punching) as described in EP 0 881 315, that is to say by the introduction of this needle or this slide in the beak 12.
  • the slide could totally overlap the needle and she could be with two or more heels.
  • the slide could at the rear, a single point of support, for example the fulcrum 34 (Figure 2)
