Description
- The invention relates to a circular knitting machine comprising a device for producing the closure of tubular hosiery articles produced by this machine.
- Attempted solutions to this problem have not proved satisfactory. Solutions in which the articles are transferred from the production machine to a separate device have proved somewhat unsatisfactory and/or too costly and/or too bulky, especially if combined with each single machine.
- The invention solves these problems, and also achieves other objects and advantages, which are apparent from the text below.
- The device in question - for closing the end of hosiery articles on the same circular machine on which they are produced - is of the type of those that adopt a sector- generally semicircular - to transfer the stitches from a first needle arc to a second opposed needle arc, as defined in the Italian patent application no.
FI2006A000025 of 21.01.2006 - According to the invention, elements terminating in a bifurcate way are provided in said sector, each of which flanks - inside respective sinkers - the relevant needle of the first arc; each of said shaped elements terminating in a bifurcate way superiorly presents a fork projection embracing the needle and forming a rear recess and two front recesses, suitable to engage an end stitch formed by said needles.
- There are also provided:
- means to raise and lower the needles of the first arc to unload said end stitch, which thus remains engaged on said fork projection;
- means to rotate said sector through approximately 180° and to take the end stitches engaged on said recesses to correspond with the needles of the second arc; and
- means to raise said needles of the second arc to a retained level so that each of them maintains the stitch formed thereby and to engage also the corresponding stitch engaged on said recesses and to thus form ranks of double closing stitches with the needles of the second arc.
- Advantageously said fork projection presents the upper surface Inclined.
- A profile can also be provided, suitable to ensure raising of the latch of the needle, during initial lowering of the needle to release the stitches that are to be transferred from the first needle arc to the second needle arc, regardless of the presence of the released stitch.
- Other characteristics are defined in the secondary claims below.
- The invention also relates to a process for closing the end of hosiery articles on the same circular machine that produced them, with a sector - mostly semicircular - for transfer of the stitches from a first needle arc to a second opposed needle arc, as defined in the relevant claims.
- The invention will be better understood from following the description and accompanying drawing, which shows a non-limiting practical example of the invention. In the drawing:
-
Figs. 1 to 3 show in an axial section the upper part of the needle cylinder with accessories and with the device of the invention, in three subsequent arrangements; -
Figs. 4, 5 and 6 are local sections according to IV-IV, V-V and VI-VI ofFig. 1 ; -
Fig. 7 shows the area indicated by the arrank fVII ofFig. 1 , in a step prior to transfer; -
Figs. 8 and9 are local sections in arrangements subsequent to that ofFig. 7 ; -
Figs. 10 and 11 show, analogously toFig. 7 , two of the arrangements prior to transfer; -
Figs. 12, 13 and14 show the area indicated by the arrow fXI ofFig. 3 , in subsequent operating steps implemented after transfer; -
Figs. 15 and16 show in a isolated way a plan view of a portion of the semicircular sector isolated, without stitches and with stitches; -
Fig. 17 is a local section according to XVII-XVII ofFig. 15 , -
Figs. 18 and 19 show an enlarged detail ofFig. 17 , viewed from the line XVII-XVIII ofFig.19 , complete with relevant components, and a view from the line XIX-XIX ofFig. 18 . - In the drawing, the
reference 1 indicates a motor cylinder which rotates to draw in rotation - by means oftabs 3 or equivalent members - theneedle cylinder 5, in the externallongitudinal channels 5A of which the needles 7X and 7Y slide. Theconventional collar 9 withradial channels 9A for sliding of thesinkers 11 is combined superiorly with theneedle cylinder 5. Arrangement is customary. - The
reference 13 indicates a cylinder which is coaxial and which rotates with themotor cylinder 1 and with theneedle cylinder 5; two diametricallyopposed supports 15 are provided on theupper edge 13A thereof, on which asemicircular sector 19 is pivoted withdiametrical pins 17; saidsector 19 is capable of overturning through approximately 180° to be arranged alternately corresponding to a first approximately semicircular needle arc 7X and at a second and opposed needle arc 7Y. To control overturning of thesector 19 alternately, acylinder 21 is provided around thecylinder 13; theupper edge 21A of thecylinder 21 presents at least one toothing 23 which meshes with atoothing 24 of thesector 19 and coaxial to thepins 17. Thecylinder 21 can rotate with thecylinders motor cylinder 1, as a constrainingpin 27 is provided. Thecylinder 21 can be angularly displaced by a few degrees with respect to thecylinder 13, to control overturning of thesector 19 through thetoothings - The two
cylinders sector 19 can be raised and lowered together axially with respect to the needle cylinder, for purposes that will be explained below; this is permitted by avertical slot 1Y of thecylinder 1, through which thepin 27 that draws the twocylinders needle cylinder 5 with thesinkers 11 can be axially displaced, to obtain prompt dimensional variations of the stitches of the tubular knitted fabric of the article. Thecylinder 21 presents a limited slot 21X (Fig. 5 ), so that it can be made to rotate with respect to theother cylinders - A customary
tubular guide 31 is provided inside thecylinder 13, to implement pneumatic tensioning of the article being formed, with a suction current. - Each
sinker 11 presents the customaryshaped slot 11A, to cooperate with the hook of the needle 7X and 7Y, for customary knitting of the tubular article of the sock or other equivalent article. - At the end of forming of the tubular fabric, the toe of the article can be closed, if necessary after forming a pocket with the needles of the first arc, with continuous motion or with alternating motion of the needle cylinder. The
sector 19 must then be overturned with the end edge formed by the first needle arc 7X, until the last stitches formed by the needle arc 7X are combined with the last stitches formed by the second needle arc 7Y. This is implemented by the special structure of thesector 19, suitable to cooperate with the sinkers and with the needles. - The sector 19 - according to the invention - can be moved between a lowered and inactive position below the area in which the
shaped slots 11A of thesinkers 11 are located, and a raised and active position (Figs. 2 ,8 ,11 ) almost at the level of saidshaped slots 11A. In the lowered position and in the arrangement of thesector 19 in correspondence of to the needles of the first needle arc (Figs. 1 ,2 ,7 ), the circular machine can form the article in the conventional manner, with or without the end pocket for the toe to be closed. - The
sector 19, along the arcuate extension thereof, presents a plurality ofradial appendages 25, each terminating with a pair of radially extendingshaped elements 25F (see in particularFigs. 18 and 19 ); the twoelements 25F of each pair extend approximately radially to flank one of the needles 7X of the first needle arc in the first arrangement (Figs. 1 and2 ) and also one of the needles 7Y of the second needle arc, in the second overturned arrangement (Fig. 3 ) of thesector 19; the twoshaped elements 25F of each pair are located between the relevant needle 7X and the twosinkers 11 which flank the needle and which cooperate therewith. The twoshaped elements 25F of each pair superiorly present - in the arrangement in correspondence of the first needle arc 7X - aprojection 25A which in the plan view extends in a radially oriented U-shape open toward the outside (see in particularFigs. 15 to 19 ) with anupper edge 25B which - when thesector 19 is in the raised arrangement ofFigs. 2 ,8 ,9 - approximately follows the profile of theshaped slot 11A of the relevant sinker; saidedge 25B extends outward (with respect to the axis of the cylinders) with twoedges 25C sunken toward the end of theelement slot 11A of the sinkers but projecting slightly with respect to saidslot 11A. - In the placement described, with the
element Figs. 7 and10 with the needles 7X maintained lowered without taking up thread, thesinkers 11 are moved away according to f11 (Fig. 10 ). In this manner, the last stitch M1 remains engaged on theelement sector 19 about thepins 17. - The needles 7Y of the second arc are maintained idle and lowered, with the last stitch Mo engaged thereon. The needles 7X of the first needle arc are lowered without taking up thread, so that the last formed stitches MI remain engaged as specified above between the
recesses 25C and 25X; these stitches MI are stressed by pneumatic tensioning through suction from thetube 31. To ensure that the latch of the needles 7X is lowered on the end thereof, saidelement 26 is provided, which promptly ensures raising of the latch of the needles 7X that start to be lowered; therefore the needles 7X safely release the stitch MI, which remains retained between therecesses 25X and 25C. - At this point - to actuate transfer of the stitches MI to the needles 7Y - the
cylinder 13 and therefore thesector 19 are raised and through thetoothings sector 19 is overturnedthrough 180° about thepins 17 drawing the stitches MI, which remain pneumatically tensioned and thus in an elongated and also enlarged arrangement, being engaged on therespective projections 25A extending with a radially oriented U-shape. - After overturning of the sector 19 (as indicated by the broken lines in
Fig. 3 ) until reaching the position indicated inFigs. 3 ,12, 13 , theshaped elements 25A are positioned so as to embrace the relevant needles 7Y of the second needle arc. At this point, the needles 7Y of the second needle arc are raised inside the space of therespective projections 25A to a limited level (retained level) in which said needles 7Y maintain the stitch Mo of the last rank of stitches produced thereby but they come (fig. 13 ) so that they are able also to engage - together with the stitch Mo - the relevant stitch MI, which is enlarged by therespective projection 25A and by the pneumatic tensioning applied by thetube 31; in this manner the stitches Mo and MI are both engaged by the relevant needles 7Y of the second arc. At this point said needles 7Y of the second arc - with alternating motion or with continuous motion, and with final cut of the thread, form further ranks of stitches, in particular tight stitches and a final loose stitch or another solution, to in any case prevent unraveling of the finishing ranks of the article, for example closure of the final end of the article. The article- when finished - is released. With inverse movements, all parts are returned to the initial conditions. It is understood that the drawing only shows an example provided purely as a practical arrangement of the invention, which may vary in forms and arrangement, without however departing from the scope of the claims
