- needles In the field of knitting machines for hosiery, needles are known which are provided in order to allow to transfer a stitch or loop of knitting from one needle to an adjacent needle arranged in the same bed.
- a needle of this kind allows to transfer the stitch exclusively onto the needle that is arranged on one side of the needle that has to release the stitch.
- WO2007/057041 by the same Applicant, assumed included herein as reference, illustrates a needle that is capable of transferring, according to the requirements, the stitch onto the needle that is arranged on one side or to the needle that is arranged on the opposite side of the needle that has to release the stitch.
- the needle according to WO2007/057041 comprises: a shank, a head arranged at a longitudinal or upper end of the shank, and a latch that is hinged to the shank proximate to the head, about a pivoting axis that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shank and rotatable about said pivoting axis in order to open or close the head.
- the needle comprises at least one elastically flexible lamina, which is associated with the shank and defines, on the two opposite sides of the shank, below the latch, two receptacles, one for each side of the shank.
- the aim of the present invention is indeed to provide a needle for transferring stitches from said needle to adjacent needles for knitting machines for hosiery or the like that ensures high durability.

- the needle according to the invention generally designated by the reference numeral 1 both in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 12 and in the constructive variations shown in the subsequent figures, comprises: a shank 2, which has an elongated shape, a head 3 and a latch 4.
- the head 3 is arranged at a longitudinal end or upper end of the shank 2 and is shaped like a hook that is open toward the front side of the shank 2, in a manner similar to known types of needle.
- the latch 4 is hinged to the shank 2 proximate to the head 3, about a pivoting axis 4a that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shank 2, and rotatable about the pivoting axis 4a to open or close the head 3, as in known types of needle.
- the shank 2 has, along its extension, on its front side and proximate to its longitudinal end, or lower end, that lies opposite with respect to the head 3, at least one heel 5, which protrudes from its front side and can engage in a per se known manner the needle actuation cams provided in the knitting machine for hosiery or the like on which the needle 1 is to be fitted.
- the needle according to the invention in the embodiment shown in
- Figures 1 to 12 comprises at least one lamina 6a, 6b, which is connected to the shank 2 and has, on each of the two opposite sides 7a, 7b of the shank 2, below the latch 4, a portion 8a, 8b, which is elastically flexible from an inactive position, in which it is close to the corresponding side 7a or 7b of the shank 2, as shown in particular in Figures 3 and 4, to an active position, in which it is spaced from the corresponding side 7a or 7b of the shank 2, as shown in particular in Figures 1 and 2.
- said portion 8a, 8b widens the loop of knitting 9 fitted on the shank 2 at said portion 8a, 8b of the lamina 6a, 6b and, in the space comprised between the portion 8a, 8b of the lamina 6a, 6b and the corresponding side 7a, 7b of the shank 2, when the portion 8a, 8b is in the active position, it is possible to insert the head 3 of an adjacent needle Ib to pick up the loop of knitting 9 by means of said adjacent needle Ib, as will become better apparent hereinafter.
- the lamina 6a, 6b rests, at least with its end directed toward the head 3, against the shank 2 in a region located forward with respect to the head 3. Substantially, the region of said end, which constitutes the upper end of the lamina 6a, 6b, that rests against the shank 2 is shifted forward with respect to the position of the head 3.
- the portion 8a, 8b of the lamina 6a, 6b has a region that can be superimposed laterally, on the opposite side with respect to the corresponding side 7a, 7b of the shank 2, on the head of an adjacent needle Ia, Ib inserted in the space comprised between the portion 8a, 8b of the lamina 6a, 6b, in the active position, and the corresponding side 7a, 7b of the shank 2.
- the portions 8a, 8b can be part of a single lamina that is shaped conveniently so as to arrange the portion 8a on one side 7a of the shank 2 and the portion 8b on the opposite side 7b of the shank 2, as will be described in greater detail hereinafter, preferably there are two laminas 6a, 6b, one for each side 7a, 7b of the shank 2, which are fixed, at their end directed toward the lower end of the shank 2, to the corresponding side 7a, 7b of the shank 2.
- the laminas 6a, 6b are extended toward the head 3 and rest, with their end directed toward the head 3, against the corresponding side 7a, 7b of the shank 2.
- Each of the laminas 6a, 6b has the respective portion 8a, 8b that, can flex elastically toward or away from the corresponding side 7a, 7b of the shank 2.
- Each portion 8a, 8b can flex elastically toward the corresponding side 7a, 7b of the shank 2 in contrast with its elastic reaction, so as to move, in the absence of forces that act thereon, to the active position.
- Each lamina 6a, 6b is contoured so as to have: a lower region 20a,
- the intermediate region which constitutes the portion 8a, 8b that can flex elastically toward and away from the corresponding side 7a, 7b of the shank 2, is preferably constituted, starting from its lower end and in the absence of forces acting thereon: by a first segment 13a, 13b, which is folded away from the corresponding side 7a, 7b of the shank 2; by a second segment 14a, 14b, which is substantially parallel to the corresponding side 7a, 7b of the shank 2; and by a third segment 15a, 15b, which is folded toward the corresponding side 7a, 7b of the shank 2.
- Each portion 8a, 8b has, on its front side, a front protrusion 16a, 16b that defines, with its upper profile, a supporting shoulder 17a, 17b for the loop of knitting 9.
- the supporting shoulder 17a, 17b is defined on the upper side of a front protrusion 16a, 16b of the second segment 14a, 14b of the portion 8a, 8b of the lamina 6a, 6b.
- each portion 8a, 8b has, on its rear side, a rear protrusion 18a, 18b that constitutes the region that can be superimposed laterally, on the opposite side with respect to the corresponding side 7a, 7b of the shank 2, on the head 3 of an adjacent needle Ia, Ib.
- Said rear protrusion 18a, 18b can engage by resting against the head 3 of the adjacent needle Ia, Ib.
- the rear protrusion 18a, 18b is provided on the rear side of the second segment 14a, 14b of the portion 8a, 8b of the lamina 6a, 6b.
- the first segment 13a, 13b of the portion 8a, 8b of the lamina 6a, 6b, at least proximate to the second segment 14a, 14b of the portion 8a, 8b of the lamina 6a, 6b, is located forward with respect to the head 3, so as to define an abutment for the latch of an adjacent needle during the transfer of the loop of knitting 9, as will become better apparent hereinafter.
- the lower region 20a, 20b of the lamina 6a, 6b is fixed to the side 7a, 7b at an appropriately provided recess and the portion 8a, 8b is shifted forward with respect to said lower region 20a, 20b.
- the region of the needle 1 that is occupied by the portions 8a, 8b of the laminas 6a, 6b has, along the anteroposterior direction, an increased space occupation toward the front side of the needle with respect to the contiguous regions of the shank 2.
- the shank 2 between the latch 4 and the end of the portion 8a, 8b of the lamina 6a, 6b that is directed toward the head 3, has a region 10 for blending the shank 2 with the portion 8a, 8b of the lamina 6a, 6b.
- the blending region 10 is shaped like a wedge that tapers toward the head 3.
- the blending region 10 has a front face 10c, which is inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shank 2 so as to blend the region occupied by the portions 8a, 8b of the laminas 6a, 6b with the segment of the shank 2 that is arranged above.
- Said front face 10c of the blending region 10 has a curved lower segment that blends it with its base side.
- the blending region 10 is delimited laterally by sides 10a, 1 Ob that are shaped, at least for a segment starting from their upper end, like a plane that is inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shank 2 and move mutually closer progressively toward the head 3.
- the lower end of the blending region 10 is wider than the distance between the two opposite sides 7a, 7b of the shank 2 in regions that are contiguous to the blending region 10.
- each lamina 6a, 6b i.e., the end that is directed toward the head 3, is connected to the blending region 10 proximate its base.
- each lamina 6a, 6b rests, so that it can slide parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shank 2, in a recess
- the blending region 10 can be formed at least partly by a block that is fixed to the shank 2, as in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 12.
- the upper portion of the blending region 10 is formed directly in the shank 2, while the remaining portion of the blending region 10 is obtained, as a continuation of the upper portion, in a block that is fixed rigidly to the shank 2.
- the blending region 10 can be obtained monolithically with the shank 2, as in the constructive variation of the needle according to the invention shown in Figure 13.
- the first segment 13a, 13b of the portion 8a, 8b of the laminas 6a, 6b has a rear protrusion 22a, 22b, so as to allow said first portion 13a, 13b to engage in any case the sides 10a, 10b of the blending regions 10 of adjacent needles, provided like the needle 1 , as a consequence of a longitudinal movement of the needle 1 with respect to the adjacent needles.
- the blending region 10 is not provided with the inclined lateral sides, since the shank 2, at said blending region 10, has sides that are mutually parallel.
- the blending region 10 is formed only by the front face 10c, which is inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shank 2, so as to blend at the front the region occupied by the portions 8a, 8b of the laminas 6a, 6b with the portion of the shank 2 located above.
- the needle is provided substantially as in the second constructive variation, shown in Figures 15 and 16, with the difference that the two laminas 6a, 6b are provided monolithically instead of in two separate portions.
- the laminas 6a, 6b are obtained by means of a single portion 23 formed by blanking, shown in Figure 18, and folded along the line 24.
- the blanked portion 23 is further bent to provide the first segment 13a, 13b and the third segment 15a, 15b.
- the laminas 6a, 6b are obtained by means of a single portion 25 formed by blanking, shown in Figure 20, and folded along the line 26.
- the blanked portion 25 is further bent to provide the first segment 13a, 13b and the third segment 15a, 15b.
- the constructive variations shown in Figures 17 to 20 owing to the fact that the two laminas 6a, 6b are provided monolithically, there is a single lower region 20a for fixing the laminas monolithically to the shank 2.
- the portion of the shank 2 that lies between the portion 8a, 8b of the lamina 6a, 6b above the blending region 10 and the head 3 has a front cutout that reduces the front space occupation of the shank 2 so as to avoid its interference with the rear protrusion 18a, 18b of the portion 8a, 8b of the lamina 6a, 6b of the adjacent needle during the transfer of the loop of knitting 9.
- the needles that are adjacent to the needle 1, which must release the stitch or loop of knitting 9, have been designated by the reference numerals Ia, Ib, but can be provided, as shown, like the needle 1 described up to now.
- the description of the execution of the transfer of a loop of knitting 9 from a needle 1 to an adjacent needle Ib is given, for the sake of greater clarity, with reference to a circular knitting machine for hosiery or the like, assuming that the needles between which the loop of knitting 9 is transferred are located in the needle cylinder 40 of the machine, which constitutes the needle holder of the machine, without altering the fact that the needle according to the invention can also be used in the dial of circular machines with cylinder and dial, or, more generally, on single- and two-bed rectilinear and circular machines.
- the needle 1, arranged between the needles Ib, Ia is the needle that carries the loop of knitting 9 and must release it to the adjacent needle Ib, while the other needle Ia, arranged on the opposite side with respect to the needle Ib relative to the needle 1 , is not affected by the transfer of the loop of knitting 9.
- the needle 1 is referenced hereinafter also as “releasing needle”
- the needle Ib is also referenced as “receiving needle”
- the needle Ia is also referenced as "inactive needle”.
- the needle 1 After forming the loop of knitting 9 and after knocking over the loop of knitting formed previously, is raised, by means of the needle actuation cams with which its heel 5 engages, so as to protrude for a segment above the knitting formation plane 21, which, as is known, is formed by the sinkers, not shown for the sake of simplicity in Figures 5 to 9, which retain the loops of knitting 9 that have just been formed.
- the extent of the lifting of the needle 1, which must release the loop of knitting 9, is such as to bring the portion 8a, 8b of the laminas 6a, 6b at the knitting formation plane 21 and extract the portion 8a, 8b completely from the region that is occupied by the so-called "strips" that delimit laterally the seats, constituted by axial slots of the lateral surface of the needle cylinder 40, in which the needles slide.
- the laminas 6a, 6b first pressed against the shank 2 of the releasing needle 1 by the presence of the strips, move away by elastic reaction from the shank 2 with their portion 8a, 8b, which thus passes into the active position.
- the shank 2 of the needle 1 slides within the loop of knitting 9, which, being crossed first by the blending region 10 and then by the portion 8a, 8b of the laminas 6a, 6b up to the resting shoulder 17a, 17b, is widened progressively in a manner in which it is suitable to be crossed at least by the receiving needle Ib.
- the presence of the blended region 10 ensures a gradual expansion of the loop of knitting 9, avoiding excessive stresses both of the loop and of the laminas 6a, 6b.
- the receiving needle Ib onto which the loop of knitting 9 is to be transferred, is moved upward with respect to the releasing needle 1 , so as to insert its open head 3 in the space comprised between the portion 8b and the shank 2 of the releasing needle 1. It should be noted that the receiving needle Ib, in this lifting, is arranged with its head 3 between the rear protrusion 18b and the side 7b of the shank 2 of the releasing needle 1.
- the receiving needle Ib prevents the portion 8b of the lamina 6b from being crushed completely by the loop of knitting 9 against the side 7b of the shank 2 of the releasing needle 1 and the first segment 13b defines a front abutment that prevents the latch 4 of the receiving needle Ib from rotating about the axis 4a, assuredly keeping open the latch 4 of the receiving needle Ib, as shown in particular in Figure 7.
- the inactive needle Ia is in a lower position with respect to the position occupied by the receiving needle Ib, but its head 3 is in any case preferably arranged between the rear protrusion 18a and the side 7a of the shank 2, and is thus "covered” by the rear protrusion 18a, so as to not interfere with the process for transferring the loop of knitting 9, as shown in particular in Figure 8.
- the releasing needle 1 is lowered and the receiving needle Ib is lifted, preferably to the position that corresponds to the held-stitch position.
- the descent of the releasing needle 1 moves the receiving needle Ib so that, it protrudes with its head upward from the portion 8b of the lamina 6b. Moreover, the descent of the needle 1 causes the loop of knitting 9, arranged around the laminas 6a, 6b, to slide along the third segment 15b of the portion 8b, moving it toward the shank 2 and bringing it into the head of the receiving needle Ib.
- the head 3 of the receiving needle Ib protrudes upward from the portion 8b of the lamina 6b practically without interfering with the portion 8b of the lamina 6b of the releasing needle 1 and therefore without the need to produce the separation of its upper end from the shank 2 of the releasing needle 1. In this manner, the wear of the head 3 of the receiving needle Ib an of the lamina 6b of the releasing needle 1 is reduced significantly.
- the two needles 1 and Ib can be lowered together below the knitting formation plane 21. During this lowering, the portions 8a, 8b of the laminas 6a, 6b, by engaging the strips, are moved into the inactive position.
- the passage of the portions 8a, 8b of the laminas 6a, 6b from the active position to the inactive position after the transfer of the loop of knitting 9 can be achieved following the descent of the releasing needle 1 between the adjacent needles Ia, Ib, since the first segment 13a, 13b of the portions 8a, 8b of the laminas 6a, 6b engages the sides 10a, 10b of the blending region 10, as shown in Figures 10 and 11.
- the inactive needle Ia which does not take part in the transfer of the loop of knitting 9, can be used to reduce the extent of the elastic deformation of the portion 8a of the lamina 6a of the adjacent releasing needle 1 away from the corresponding side 7a of the releasing needle 1 , so as to reduce the stresses to which the loop of knitting 9 to be transferred and the other lamina 6b are subjected.
- the releasing needle 1 and the inactive needle Ia are lifted together, so that the releasing needle 1 slides within the loop of knitting 9 until it is moved against the resting shoulder 17b of the lamina 6b, whose portion 8b is in the active position, while the contact of the blending region 10 of the inactive needle Ia continues to limit the spacing of the portion 8a of the lamina 6a from the side 7 a of the releasing needle 1.
- Figure 12 illustrates the sequence of actuation, in the direction indicated by the arrow 30, of sets of three needles 1 , Ia, Ib.
- the needles have all been shown with the corresponding latch 4 open, without altering the fact that the latch 4 is open or closed on the head of the needles 3 depending on the operating conditions of the needles.
- inactive needle 1 a is possible also with the various constructive variations of the needle 1 described above.
- elastic flexing of the portions 8a, 8b, during the widening of the loop of knitting 9 it is possible to use, in addition to the resting of the rear protrusion 18b against the head 3 of the receiving needle Ib, other elements of the machine, such as for example the sinkers 29 and/or the strips 27.
- the sinkers 29 and/or the strips 27 engage the rear protrusion 18a, 18b of the second portion 14a, 14b of the portions 8a,
- the needles according to the invention are used in a dial of a machine with cylinder and dial, the needles are moved radially outward instead of being raised and radially inward instead of being lowered.
- the particular structure of the needle according to the invention allows to provide said needle according to the invention with a reduced thickness, such as to allow its use in machines with high fineness (higher than 18 needles per inch).
- the needle according to the invention can be used advantageously also on double-bed machines to transfer a stitch from one bed to the other also with transfer from one needle of one bed to an adjacent needle of the same bed without requiring relative movements between the beds and therefore avoiding the problems of precision and complexity in execution that these movements entail.
- needles according to the invention with the possibility to transfer the stitches from either side of the needles on machines that can be actuated with an alternating motion allows to produce items of knitting with knitted regions of any shape with increasing or decreasing stitches, increasing their quality and degree of finish.
- the needle according to the invention fully achieves the intended aim, since by limiting the sliding between the elastically flexible portion of the laminas and the head of the adjacent needle onto which the stitch or loop of knitting is to be transferred it reduces the wear of these components, achieving longer durability for the needle.
- the covering of the head of the adjacent needles by the elastically flexible portion of the lamina of the releasing needle during the transfer of the stitch or loop of knitting ensures high precision and reliability in the operation for transferring the stitch or loop of knitting.
- Another advantage of the needle according to the invention is that it can prevent the compression of the elastically flexible portions of the lamina against the shank of the needle thanks to the action of the stitch or loop of knitting to be transferred and/or prevent or limit the spacing of the elastically flexible portions of the lamina from the shank of the needle that must release the stitch or loop of knitting by means of the adjacent needle or by means of other elements of the machine on which it is mounted, achieving high versatility in actuation and use.
