  • EP 2 363 519 A1 and DE 16 35 868 A1 disclose yarn gripping and cutting devices.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to solve the disadvantages and problems of the conventional techniques to make sure that colored yarns are securely clipped and cut off at merely one side to prevent yarn dropping or generation of yarn debris, and reduce product defects and enhance knitting operation stability of knitting needles.
  • Another object of the invention is to maintain the original thickness of yarn clipping and cutting mechanism of the striping apparatus to facilitate installation of the striping apparatus on the circular knitting machine that have a greater number of yarn feeding ports.
  • the present invention provides a yarn clipping and cutting structure for a striping apparatus of a circular knitting machine according to independent claim 1 that is installed on a circular knitting machine and driven by operation thereof.
  • the striping apparatus includes a plurality of yarn clipping and cutting structures.
  • Each yarn clipping and cutting structure has among others features as follow: it has two yarn clipping and cutting drive blades that abut each other and can be driven synchronously.
  • a first yarn clipping and cutting drive blade has one side with a yarn feeding blade located thereon.
  • the first yarn clipping and cutting drive blade and the yarn feeding blade are interposed by a yarn clipping blade in contact with the first yarn clipping and cutting drive blade.
  • the first yarn clipping and cutting drive blade has a first end edge formed a first yarn picking portion.
  • the yarn picking portion has a directing section movable against the yarn clipping blade to perform yarn clipping operation.
  • a second yarn clipping and cutting drive blade has another side opposing the yarn clipping blade with a yarn cutting blade located thereon in contact with the second yarn clipping and cutting drive blade.
  • the second yarn clipping and cutting drive blade has a second end edge formed a second yarn picking portion.
  • the second yarn picking portion forms a yarn clipping movement against the yarn cutting blade and has a spaced section formed an elevation difference against the directing section.
  • the directing section has a first directing sloped surface close to the yarn clipping blade.
  • the directing section has a second directing sloped surface close to the spaced section.
  • the yarn clipping and cutting drive blades are integrally formed.
  • the yarn clipping and cutting drive blade of the invention can form a yarn clipping safety buffer section during yarn clipping and cutting process, hence can prevent colored yarns from dropping from the yarn clipping blade while the circular knitting machine is in high speed operation with the colored yarns being stretched.
  • the first directing sloped surface formed between the directing section of the yarn picking portion and the yarn clipping blade and side angle cut off With the first directing sloped surface formed between the directing section of the yarn picking portion and the yarn clipping blade and side angle cut off, rupturing of the colored yarn during the yarn clipping operation can be prevented.
  • the yarn picking portion and the yarn cutting blade at another side perform yarn cutting operation, therefore the yarn is cut off only at one side, and can prevent generation of yarn debris and improve the quality of knitting fabrics.
  • the invention provides a yarn clipping and cutting structure for a striping apparatus 1 (a vertical type in this embodiment) installed on a circular knitting machine (at a position which can be referred to the prior arts mentioned previously), and driven by operation of the circular knitting machine.
  • the striping apparatus 1 has two sides each has an outer cover plate 10 located thereon, and a plurality of yarn clipping and cutting structures 2 located between the two outer cover plates 10.
  • the yarn clipping and cutting structures 2 can be interposed by an isolation blade 7 between them (also can be omitted in this embodiment).
  • Each yarn clipping and cutting structure 2 includes two yarn clipping and cutting drive blades that abut each other and are driven synchronously.
  • a first yarn clipping and cutting drive blade 3a has one side with a yarn feeding blade 6 located thereon.
  • the first yarn clipping and cutting drive blade 3a and the yarn feeding blade 6 are interposed by a yarn clipping blade 4 in contact with the first yarn clipping and cutting drive blade 3 a.
  • the first yarn clipping and cutting drive blade 3a has a first end edge formed a first yarn picking portion 30a which has a directing section 31 movable against the yarn clipping blade 4 to perform yarn clipping operation.
  • the directing section 31 has a first directing sloped surface 311 close to the yarn clipping blade 4 to prevent a colored yarn 8 from being ruptured during the yarn clipping operation, and a second directing sloped surface 312 close to a spaced section 32 that also can prevent the colored yarn 8 from being ruptured during the yarn clipping operation.
  • a second yarn clipping and cutting drive blade 3b has another side with a yarn cutting blade 5 located thereon in contact with the second yarn clipping and cutting drive blade 3b.
  • the second yarn clipping and cutting drive blade 3b has a second end edge formed a second yarn picking portion 30b which has the spaced section 32 formed thereon movable against the yarn cutting blade 5 and formed an elevation difference against the directing section 31.
  • FIGS. 5 through 10 Please refer to FIGS. 5 through 10 for operation conditions of the yarn clipping and cutting structure of the invention.
  • the first yarn picking portion 30a of the first yarn clipping and cutting drive blade 3a and the yarn clipping blade 4 tightly clip the colored yarn 8, and the colored yarn 8 also forms a yarn clipping safety buffer section 81 at the spaced section 32 to avoid the colored yarn 8 from escaping the yarn clipping blade 4.
  • the colored yarn 8 at the directing section 31 first is in contact with the yarn clipping blade 4, and the first yarn picking portion 30a and the yarn clipping blade 4 start yarn clipping operation (referring to FIG.
  • the spaced section 32 forms the yarn clipping safety buffer section 81 which can prevent the yarn from escaping the yarn clipping blade 4 and dropping while the striping apparatus 1 is in high speed operation.
  • the first directing sloped surface 311 is formed between the directing section 31 and the yarn clipping blade 4, the first directing sloped surface 311 with the side corner cut off can prevent the colored yarn 8 from being ruptured by an acute angle during the yarn clipping operation.
  • the technique provided by the invention performs yarn cutting operation via the second yarn picking portion 30b and the yarn cutting blade 5 after the colored yarn 8 has been clipped, hence a fully yarn clipping effect can be accomplished while yarn cutting is performed merely on a single side.
  • the striping apparatus 1 of the invention can maintain the original thickness of the yarn clipping and cutting structures 2, therefore the striping apparatus 1 can be installed on an existing circular knitting machine to form a desired match with the circular knitting machine which includes a greater number of yarn feeding ports.
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 Please refer to FIGS. 11 and 12 for another embodiment of the yarn clipping and cutting drive blade.
  • the yarn clipping and cutting drive blade 3 in this embodiment differs by employing merely a single blade (integrated formed). Hence yarn clipping and cutting operation is performed synchronously by the yarn picking portion 30 of the yarn clipping and cutting drive blade 3.
  • the invention also can be implemented as desired.
  • the invention further provides a yarn clipping and cutting structure for a striping apparatus of a circular knitting machine.
  • the striping apparatus 1 is installed on the circular knitting machine and driven by operation thereof.
  • the striping apparatus 1 has two sides each has an outer cover plate 10 located thereon, and a plurality of yarn clipping and cutting structures 2 located between the two outer cover plates 10.
  • the yarn clipping and cutting structures 2 can be interposed by an isolation blade 7 between them.
  • Each yarn clipping and cutting structure 2 includes a yarn clipping and cutting drive blade 3 which has one side with a yarn feeding blade 6 located thereon, and a yarn clipping blade 4 located between the yarn clipping and cutting drive blades 3 and the yarn feeding blade 6.
  • the yarn clipping blade 4 is in contact with the yarn clipping and cutting drive blade 3.
