NEEDLE non REPAIRING RUNS IN x vrrrnn 'eoons.
Application filed ma 10, 1927. Serial No. 190,244.
- More' specifically it is the object of my invention to provide in a needle of that typehaving a. 'hook and a pivoted latch for closing thehook, simple and compact means whereby the latch will be automatically 7 thrownifrom; a closed position to an open position, after the latch has been released,
and to provide in connection therewith means Whereby. the latch will be frictionally re- .tainedin said open position.
' 'My invention consists in the construction,
arrangement and combination of thevarious parts of my device, whereby the objects con-.
templated are attained, as hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in my claims, and illustrated in the accompanying-draw -ings, in which V igure 1 is'a side elevation of. my improved knitting i needle with the latch member .moved to its open position. "Figure 2 is asectional view of the lower end of said needle with the latch in its closed position.
onthe line 3-3 of Fi ure 2.
Figure 4 is a deta' sectional view taken ,on the line 44 of Figure 1: e
\ Figure 5-is a sectional view of a slightly modified form of my needle.
' Figure 6 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 6-6 of Figure 5.
My improved needle comprises a body portion 10, one end of which is provided with a suitable handle 11 and its opposite end pro vided with a-hook portion 12. The body 10 has a central-slot 13 which extends between its back and front edges, the front edge of the slot being wider than the back edge. A latch 14 is provided for closing the entrance to the hook 12. One end of-the latch is flattened and pivotally'mounted within the slot 13 by means of a pivot 15. The free end of thelatch 14 is provided with a widened portion 16 for covering the free end of the hook 12. The inner end of the hook portion 12 is pro; vided with a notch 17 designed to' receive one end of a. short ring 18,-the other end of said spring 0 A; ed to extend toward the H pivot 15 toengage the me:
Figure 3-isa detail sectional view tauen edge of the latch 14 at the time the latch 14 is nearly moved to a closed position, so that as the free end ofthc latch is moved to a closed position, the free end of the spring 18 will be bent rearwardly and place yieldable tension on the latch,.so that when the free-end of the latch is released, it will be thrown from the closed position shown in Figure 2, i to the open position shown by dotted lines in Figure 2. It will be seen that the outer edge of the body of the latch 14 will pass intothe upper endof the groove 1'3 and between the side members 19 of the body 10.
In order to frictionally retain thelatch in an open position, I have curvedthe outer edges of the side members 19 slightly and crimped them inwardly as shown at 20 in Figures 3 and 4, so that ,the said crimped or bent portions will .fri'ctionally engage the member 14, it being understood that the side ,75 members 19 are very thin in "the actual needle and slightly yieldable.
'In the o eration of the needle, the book 12 is placed 1; rough the loop 21 ofthe knitted goods 22 and moved downwardly until the upper end of the latch 14 rests belowthe forward end of said loop, after which the needle is elevated, causing the latch 14 to be swung downwardly and the hook 12 to engage a new thread 23. This upward movement is con-' tinned until the loop 21 passes'over the free end of the latch 14, at which time tension is applied to the spring 18. After the loop is passed over.and released from the latch, the
spring will be thrown into its elevated p0si-" tion with sufiicient force to cause the member 14 to enterfrictionally between the members 20.. The thread 23 is then pulled upwardly through the loo 21 thereby forming a new loop, after whic the above operation may be repeated.
In Figure 5 I have shown a slightly modi-. fied form in which the inner end of the groove 13 is filled with an elastic material 24, such as rubberor cork, in such a manner that the outer edge of the elastic material will be en 1 gaged by the inneredge of the latch 14,.just before itis moved to its closed position. The resiliency of said material-is sufiicient to ull the latch to its 0 en position in the mail-fr similar to'that o the spring, although I d 3! actual practice that'the-spring is prefer One of the adventagesof my device liesin providingmeans for iridionally closed position, with the parallel "yieldable the hook i of thebody portion of the needle.
, its free end designed to the latch in its open position, as this will re}: 'tain the latch in'its elevated position "as the hook 12 is being moved downwardly between strands of the run. If the latch theparallel were not thus retained in its-elevated position, it would fall by gravity-to a nearly is being entered between said threads on its downward movement. Q,
Another advantage lies in mounting the spring or resilient material inthe space between the inner edge of the latch and portion, without increasing the size I claim as my invention: 1 i
