UNITED STATES PATENT IM PROVEM ENT IN- KNITTING-MACHINE.
Specification il'n'ming part of Letters Patent No. 107,230, datedheptmnlwr l3, 1870.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, OWEN DAvrs, of New Lebanon, in the county of Sullivan and State of Indiana, have invented new and useful Iniprovements in Knitting-Machines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a top view of lever, frame, and connecting-rod as attached to the machine. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of fender. Fig. 3
'is a section of the fender, taken in the direction of the line :0 w of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a side view of threader-hook. Fig. 5 is a side view of the lever, frame, and clamp.
Like letters in the different figures of the drawingindicnte like parts of theim'cntion.
Nature.
My invention relates to improvements in the Lainb knitting machine; and consists, first, in operating the machine by'a lever instead of a crank, the lever being provided with a separate clamp, by means of which it is attached to the table at the right end of the machine, and having a connecting-rod: which is' handling it, and the lower part being made v sufficiently large to extend down between the inclined jaws or plates, so as to protect the fabric from the heel-comb during the process of knitting the heel.
A is a lever, having a handle, b, and B is a frame, to which the lever is attached by the pivot-bolt c. The frame 13 is made in the shape of a segment of a cir'cle,'and is provided with stops at d,,against which the back end of the lever A strikes as soon as the carriagecamsare shifted, to prevent the concussion .C is a staystrap, secured at the front end by the pivotbolt 0, which passes through a hole therein.) 1
and extends over the top and down the back of theframe, forming the stirrup e, which is fastened by a screw to the top of the table, as
shown in Figs. 1 and 5. .D is the clam'p,,provided with set-screw f, by means of which the frame B is fastened to the, table or shelf. E
is a connectingmd, attached to the lever A 1 i 7 at or near the middle thereof, and to the car-Q riage U, by thesame pivot-bolt whichconnects and holds theconnecting-rod of the Lamb} machine. F is a'fender, made with a cape or; flange-G, which is provided with slots s,,s'uf-'; ficiently large and the proper distance apart,
ass
to readily admit theJjack-wires G to through them, as seen 'in Figs. 1 and 2. 'lhe two projecting handles it h on the top.
are for the convenience of the operator in- Lamb-machine hook requiresfrom six to twelve motions of the hand.
Operation.
The lever-clamp should be attached to the same tableor shelf to which the machine is attached, at the right-hand end of the machine, and the movement of the lever A to the right and left operates the sliding carriage G, the
back end of the lever striking againstthe.
stops (l d as soon as the carriage-cams are shifted, thus preventin gthe j amming of themachine. The lower end of the fender is placed between the needle-plates, with the cape G to the front, which is pressed down over the front row of jack-wires, G, which project through the slots 8, as seen in'Figs. 1 and 2,. and is kept in that position during. theprocess of knitting the heel, thus efl'ectnally protecting the fabric from the heel-comb. .When the heel is completed the fender is lifted up and removed by thehandles h h.
In using "the' threader, the shorthook c is passed up through the eye of the yarn-carrier, and catches the yarn and draws it down through the eye.
What I claim is- 1. The combination of the lever A, connecting-rod E, frame B, stops d d, and clamp D f, all constructed and arranged substantially as described, and adapted to operate the sliding frame of a knitting-machine, in the manner set forth. i
2. The fender 1*, provided with the cape 0r flange G and slots s, and adapted to be ap ()WEi DAVIS. Witnesses:
