Description

Patented Dec. 11, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE KNITTING PIN POINT Gustav A. Carlson, Chicago, Ill., assignor to The Boye Needle Company, Chic tion of Illinois ago, 11]., a corpora- Application June 15, 1933, Serial No. 675,994
3 Claims.
' they require practically no further attention. In
the delicate operation of shifting the stitch from the extremity of one point to the extremity of the other, however, it is extremely easy for a stitch to slip off the end of the point and it is difficult to restore it to the point. One object of the present invention is to provide a knitting point extremity'so curved or shaped as' to facilitate the shifting of stitches and to tend to retain stitches thereon. A further object is to provide a knitting pin point having its inclined forward end portion joining abruptly the main cylindrical body portion of the point so that the knitter can readily determine when the stitch has been shifted from the inclined end onto the circular or stitchmeasuring portion of the point. Other specific objects and advantages will appear as the specification proceeds.
. The invention is illustrated in a preferred embodiment, by the accompanying drawing, in which- Fig. 1 is a broken plan view of a knitting pin point embodying my invention; and Fig. 2, a broken enlarged and exaggerated plan view of the forward portion of the point.
In the illustration given in Fig. 1, the point 10 has a circular shank portion 11 terminating at its forward end abruptly in an inclined end portion 12. The inclined end 12 terminates in a rounded extremity 13. At the rear, the point may, if desired, be made hollow to receive a-knitting pin body 14. It will be understood, however, that the rear portion of the point may be secured directly to any other form of body, handle, etc. with which the point may be advantageously used.
In the illustration given in Fig. 2, the conca ity of the inclined wall 12 has been exaggerated for the purpose of clearness, the dotted lines 15 being drawn to show the degree of the concavity at various stages along the inclination. The illustration also shows clearly the abrupt junction 16 between the circular body 11 and the inclined portion 12. It will be noted that there is no rounding of the lines at the point of junction 16; instead, the circular body 11 terminates and the inclined wall 12 begins to fall away immediately.
The slightly concave surface 12 enables one of the point ends to be readily slipped over another point end under the stitch, and enables the stitch to be slipped easily onto the new point. At the same time, the concave surface, providing as it does a less steep pitch than the old type of point, serves to retain the new stitch in position on the new point.
The stitches may be readily shifted up the inclined concave wall and the knitter can determine accurately when the stitches have passed from the inclined wall onto the main body or stitch-measuring portion of the pin point.
In the preferred form of my invention, "I desire to have the inclined surface 12 only slightly concave, although the degree of concavity may be varied without departing from the spirit of my invention. If desired, the concave surface 12 may be substantially straight but avoiding any bulging or rounding of the line of inclination and preferably terminating abruptly so as to form an angular function with the main body of the point.
The foregoing detailed description has been given for clearness of understanding only, and no unnecessary limitations should be understood therefrom,-but the appended claims should be construed as broadly as permissible, in view of the prior art.
I claim:
1. A knitting pin point or the -like comprising a body having its end portion tapering downwardly and inwardly to form a continuous concaveinclined surface terminating in a rounded point extremity.
