VTARP-KNITTING MACHINE Application filed January 12, 1922. Serial No. 528,776.
T0 &Zhu/1012itimmy concern.'
Be it, known that li, JOSEPH S, PECKER, a citizen of' 'the llnited States, residing at Phil adelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State ot Pennsylvauia, have invented new and useful improvements in ?Varplnitting Machines, of Which the ;following is a specification.
T he invention relates to a double rib knitting machine in Which pattern 'work, such as embroidery, used in trimming underwear or curtains, or Various patterns of neckties, can be made.
Heretofore in a lznitting machine of this character one of the essential features has been to maintain the needle bar in a perfectly horizontal plane. The only points at which a needle bar can be supported in such a knitting machine are at the ends or" the needle' bar. It has been the practice to suspend this needle bar,, usually an angle iron l .r, on two short bearings, and in order to gire the neces'ssary rise and :tall to the needle har, 'two cauis and 'two sets of lovers have been enwloyed to operate on the .needle bar supports.
.lt the ad'justnients oi'? the lercrs at both ends oi' the needle bar are not absolutely! true, or it the cam sur'taces at both ends of the machine are not al')solutely alike, or it' they are set at a 'traction ot an ai'igle different, it will cause the hearings at *the ends of the machine to bind and Will result in one end of the needle bai' being litted higher than the other. This cross bar or needle bar in its downward movement niusthe pulled down either by springs or Weights, or must depend upon its own weight to overcome the frietion in the bearings. Also after constant operating of such machine one of the levers may give Way at the adjustment points and it will lift th needle bar against a binding t 'ction in the bearings and in the downward movement ol? the needle bar Will ten-d to stirt in bearings and the springs or weights Will he insuiiicient to return the needle bar to the don'nward limit ot its movement. The resuit will he a general hashim.: up of the needles and the spelling 1.` the 'Fabric at that point. t
The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of such knitting ma hines and to provide a simple, practical and etlicient construction which Will be strong and durable and comparatirely in expensive and capable of imparting the rise .and fall motion to the needle bar and of eliminating` all possible shake and Vibration Which Would cause faulty Work and adapted to also obtain a higher speed of operation than has here'totor been possible with inachines of this character.
`With these and other objects in View the invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully' described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims hereto appended, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion and minor details of construction, Within the scope of the claims, may be resorted to Without departing from the spirit or sacricing any of the advantagesot' the invention.

The upper and lower guide Ways 3, Which in practice are spaced as far apart as the construction of the machine will permit 'in order to afford a firm construction and prevent any possibility of shake or Vibration of the Vertically reciproeating starts 4 and 5 or Variation in the true Vertical motion of the same at either end llO of the machine, consist of brackets bolted or otherwise: secured to the standards of the upper and'l'ower portions thereof', as clearly illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawings, and provided with removable face plates 3 which detachably retain the vertically reciprocating staffs in guiding grooves 3 of the brackets. The guiding grooves 3** of the brackets or guide ways 3 are arranged" in pairs to accommodate the pairs of vertically reciprocating staffs 4 and 5, as clearly shown in Figure 3' of the drawings; and these-id staffs 4 and 5 carry needle bars 7, which are` provided with the usual knitting needlesr.
The.` up and down motion is imparted to the needle bar 7 by carns 8* mounted on the main' operating shaft 9' of the machine and actuatingzrocking levers 10, which are connected by; the' link connections with horizontal bars 14 which tie or. connect the vertically'reciprocating staffs' at opposite sides of-the machine! with each other. The rocking: levers 10 are: arranged centrally of'the machine: and* are connected with the tie bars 14 centrally,` thereof` and are fulcrumed intermediate of their ends on a shaft or pivotl, which' is. supported in spaced centrally arranged brackets 16 and 17. The tiebarsl4 which connect-the staffs 4 and 5 are secured' to the same by bolts- 18 or other suitable fastening means and the needle bars 7 are secured tothe= upper ends of the staffs by bolts 19.
Each rocking lever 10 is provided at its inner" end with a' longitudinal slot' 20, in which is mounted a sliding. block 21 carrying-' a* pin or pivot 22 and secured in its ad ustment by a clamping screw 23. The sliding block 21 is adjustable longitudinally of the slot. 20*by an adjusting` screw 24, journaled' ina: suitable bearing 'lO rocking lever and engaging a threaded bore* 21?*- in the longitudinal slidinghbloclr, whereby; when the clamping screw 23 is loosened and the adjust-ing screw 24 isrotated the slidableblockl willz be moved inwardly or outwardly with respect to` the end of the lever and after an adjustment has been'efi'ected' the clamping screw 23 may be tightened' to se'curely clamp the. sliding block' in its-adjust'ment so that there will be no liability of the rocking motion of: the parts: afiecting the adjustinent of the slid ing' blooki The'link connection between the rocking' lever'and the tie or'connecting bar 14 coniprises upper and' lower' sections 11` and 12,' and the' centrally connecting member13; whichis in'the form of' a right and left hand threaded.' adjusting screw; The
upper and lower sections 11' and 12' are in' section or yoke' the form of yokes, the lower 11 straddling the rocking lever'and having its side portions pivoted to-the sliding block by'the pinorpivot- 22. The upper. section of the or yoke 12 straddles a lug 25 of the cross or connecting bar 14 and-'is pivoted to the same by a pin or pivot 26; The" upper and lower yokes or sections 11 and 12 are provided with threaded openings or sockets li which are engaged by the right and left hand threaded portions of the central adjusting screw or member 13 and the latter is provided with-a centrally arranged polygonal portion adapted to receive a wrench or other suitable tool for rotating, the adjusting screw' 13' to vary the effective length' of' the link or connection between the rocking' lever and the cross or tie bar 14 and the distance between the rocking lever and the needle bar; Lock nuts 11 are provided for securing the adjusting screw in its adjustment. The upper sections 12 of the link connections have' t shaped offset portions 'dispfosed in vertical overlapping relation to= arrange them centrally beneath the needle bars'.
Each roclringzlever is provided at its outer end with a roller 27 which runs: in: a cam groove 8 in the cam 8, and the said groove, which forms a track for the roller; tends to hold the lever in a firm position at any part of the cam and thereby prevents lost motion and eliminates the necessity of employing` supplementary spring tensions or weights to prevent such lost motion..
Theneedle bar 7 is provided at each end with a square hole 28 to receive the vertically needle bar is supported upon a shoulder* 29 of the staff formed by recessingthe latter, as clearly illustrated in Figure 5 of the drawings. The reciprocating staffs 'are rectangularin cross section and the recess which forms' a shoulder or seat 29is provided with an inclined wall or face 29 to fit the inelined face of a vertically adjustable wedge ing screw 31, which ismounted in athread ed opening or socket 33 of the said staff, is-` the upper end of the same with a head which fits ina horizontal groove' in the adjacent faceof the wedge 30. The' provided above screw is capable of Vertical adjustment to raise and. lower the wedge 30 and the wedge 30 will effect ahorizontal adj'ustnient of' the needle bar 7. The Screws 19 elamp the neo-- dle bar in its adjustnient and the adjusting nieans of' the needle baris adapted to maintain a square seat of the needle bar on the' ends of the staffs.
