Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device intended for the production of looped fabrics, said arrangement having two sets of needles, and wherein the needles of one set which are displaceably guided in a casing are pushed through and between the needles of the otherset by means of a control plate so as to pull the inserted thread out into loops. has been positioned and pulled out into loops in suitable fashion, the loops of the first thread layer are thrown over the loops of the second thread layer and thereby tied up into loops, after which the procedure is repeated. In this fashion one row of loops after another is added, thus producing a looped fabric.
  • the pusher member that serves to displace the movable set of needles serves to determine, through agency of a variable guide, the timed succession of needle displacement through the rowsformed, by the second set of needles, the position, of said rows being controlled by means of a holder on the casing of the first set of needles.
  • timed succession of needle displacements effected during the movement of the control plate is accelerated or retarded, it serves to effect a greater or lesser tensiom'ng of the thread so that by varying the path of the control plate it is possible.
  • to adjust the tension of the thread in accordance with its quality or thickness and its degree of elasticity; the more needles that participate simultaneously in the withdrawal of the threads into loops, the more will the thread become tensioned due to the increased thread friction prevailing in the region of the resulting loops, it making no difference how great the separation between the two sets of needles may be. This serves to prevent excessive retardation or even stoppage oi the move ment of the control plate due to excessive thread tension or any danger of tearing.
  • the position of the row produced by the second set of needles is insured by a receiving seat on the casing of the first set of needles, it is possible to produce the separation present between the two sets of needles, thus independently of the After a second layer of thread.
  • the aforesaid needle rake can only be lifted out of its seat crosswise of the plane which is formed by the thread that is pulled out into loops. For this reason this needle rake is disposed in simple removable fashion on the casing and yet is nevertheless disposed rigidly in its position on the casing in such fashion. that no unexpected variation of the mutual separation of the needles of both rows can occur.

  • a handle 3 which is slidably arranged, by means of a guide stirrup 4, on a longitudinal bar 5 the ends of which are fastened to the upper portion of the casing I beyond the slot 2.
  • the handle 3 protrudes through the slot 2 in the casing I by means of a flat neck 6, which carries a plate I which is positioned within the casing I and is provided with control cams on two opposite edges thereof serving for actuating needles I6 which are displaceably arranged in the casing I by means of a lower guide I! and an upper guide I8, so that these needles can be displaced transversely of the casing I by means of a slide composed of the parts 3, 4, 6 and 1.
  • a band 8 which may, for example, consist of steel and which passes, via guide bolts 9, over a guideroller III arranged on the casing I, the other end portion of the band being attached to a tension spring (not shown) whichpasses over a guide roller and tends to maintain the band 8 in stretched condition at all times.
  • a tension spring (not shown) whichpasses over a guide roller and tends to maintain the band 8 in stretched condition at all times.
  • the numeral I9 denotes the needles of the sec ond set which is arranged on a bar 28' thus forming a needlerake 2B which is inserted at its ends in two angular holders H which are the second thread layer so that stitches are formed by interlacing.
  • the needle rake 20 is moved upwardly relative to'the casing I out of engagement with the angular holders 2 I, whereby the second thread layer is pulled off of these needles. Thereupon the needle rake is turned through an angle of 180 and inserted in the corresponding position in the holders 2I by which means the end of the Y needle rake 28 previously positioned on the left united by a connecting strip 23into a single member which is secured to the casing I screws 24.
  • the steel band 8 passes underneath a double bottom I3 which is arranged in the casing I and holds a lower guide I? for the displaceable needles I6.
  • a longitudinal rail I 5 which is provided with a special cross section and an upper flange of which engages in a fitting longitudinal groove, formed in the slide or control plate I, and terminates in a depending web, so that the longitudinal rail I5 guides the control plate I through two parallel flanges.
  • a fiat guide rail Ill which is connected to the underside of the control plate I, whereby the slide is secured against tilting in the transverse direction to its path of movement.
  • the working is started, in known manner, with the needles I6-in retracted position relative to the casing I, in that the working thread is first slightly tied to one of the immovable needles I9 at a point where the looping is to begin. Thereupon the thread is loosely slung about each individual needle I9 as these follow each other in the row until the needle is reached which determines the width of goods as required. Thereupon the control plate I is displaced by means of the handle 3, so that the needles Iii are advanced so as to project out of the casing I to a greater extent, thereby passing between the needles I9 so as to overlie the first thread layer (Figs. 1, 2) which had previously been formed on the needles 59 of the rake 29 by looping the thread.
  • the first thread layer Figs. 1, 2
  • the needles It are advanced anew by means of the handle 3 so that between the two sets of needles I6, I9 2. gap is formed into which the working thread is then placed in the With this advancing of the needles IS the looped goods as produced up to that time, that is, the row of loops last formed must be positioned underneath the plane of movement of the needles I6. Then the needles I6 are retracted again by correspondingly returning the handle 3 by which means the working thread inserted in the said gap is drawn out into Zig-Zag shaped loops.
  • the work can each time befolded backwardly by hand and then be pulled upwardly, thus permitting the lower thread layer to be knocked over on ,7 the headed needles I9 for interlacing the same dle rake 2!] is then retracted from its seat in the upward direction and turned transversely to its longitudinal direction as indicated by the arrow shown in Fig. '7, so that the headed needles I9 approach on the needles lfi.
  • the tension of the zig-zag shaped thread layer is accordingly reduced, that is, discontinued in consequence, of which the needle rake 20 can then be removed with ease.
  • the needle rake is again turned end for end through and inserted in the holder 2
  • the distance .r (Fig. 5) between the two rows of needles determines the length of the stitches to beproduced.
  • This distance a can be enlarged by arranging one or more inserts II between the connecting strip 23, for the holders 2I, and the casing I, which inserts may be provided with apertures for pushing them on connecting bolts 24.
  • the needle rake 26 is secured in exact position in the holders 2
  • the holders 2! are provided with a front stop edge 2
  • the holders 2I are also provided with oblique surfaces which diverge upwardly in the direction of removalof the needle rake 26 for cooperation with mating oblique faces on the needle rake, as shown in Fig. l.
  • are provided with spring influenced locking balls T3 for cooperation with mating recesses in the needle rake 29.
  • the twooblique faces described permit the needle rake to be turned end for end after having been lifted to a small extent, which as evident from Fig. 7 can be done by first simply tilting the needle rake so that its upper longitudinal edge approaches on the upper longitudinal edge of the connecting strip, whereby the thread tension is discontinued.
  • the said oblique surfaces also permit the needle rake 20 to be mounted on its seat in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig. 8, by which means the working is simplified and facilitated.
  • control plate "I of the slide is provided adjacent to the longitudinal edge thereof serving for the retraction of the needles I6 with an adjustable plate 14 which has an oblique face I and can be displaced longitudinally of the control plate I, through the instrumentality of a slot I6, and fixed in position by means of a screw bolt TI protruding through this slot.
  • Fig. 2 the adjustable plate M is shown in the inoperative position in full lines. Therefore, the retraction of the needles I6 is effected, when the control plate I. is displaced in the corresponding direction, by means of the guide edge 18 of this plate for a length of travel 1
  • the oblique face I5 on the adjustable plate M represents a shorter length of travel a.
  • This plate can thus be rendered effective either over a fraction of its adjusting range, as indicated in chaindotted lines in Fig. 2, or over the full extent of this range, by accordingly adjusting the adjustable plate 14 relative to the control plate I.
  • the needles Ifi are retracted at shorter time intervals when the control plate 1 is displaced in the respective direction.
  • a smaller number of needles I6 is retracted in the unit of time than if the adjustable plate I4 cooperates with its face l5 with the needles I6.
  • the employment of the adjustable plate 74 for retracting the movable needles I6 is required, when the distance :r (Fig. 5) between the two needle sets I6, I9 exceeds a certain amount and accordingly the friction set up in drawing out the thread into zig-zag shape would increase to such an extent that the movement of the slide would be unduly hampered, or even be stopped, or else the thread would break, due to the thread tension becoming excessive.
  • a certain amount of thread tension which as will be seen, also depends upon the kind of thread material used, is indispensable in order that the method according to the invention may be properly carried into effect.
  • the adjustable plate I4 allows of regulating the thread tension in adaptation to any requirements that may arise by several different persons working on one and the same piece of knit ware to be produced without the finished product showing signs of such a.
  • the employment of the whole length of guide edge of the adjustable plate I4 for the retraction of the needles I6 is required when in using coarse yarns the distance a: between the two needle sets I6, I9 is relatively large.
  • the central intermediary position of the adjustable plate 14 is conveniently taken advantage of, when in using yarns .of median thickness the distance at between the, two needle sets 56, I9 assumes an average value.
  • a wrench 19 (Fig. 9) serves for effecting the adjustment of the plate 74 to which end an aperture BI in the casing I canbe made accessible by means of a slide (Fig. 3). Provided that the slide is in the corresponding end position the wrench 19 can then be applied to the locking. bolt I? of the adjustable plate for controlling the nut of this bolt.
  • receiving the needle rake 20 are provided with raised portions 2
  • the guideway on the slide for the retraction of the needles I6 may be altered by means of a rotationally adjustable stop member or by means of a flexible strip providing a stop member by being backed by according bearing points and the length of which is adjustable, so that the length r of guide face between two predetermined bearing points can be increased or decreased as required in dependence upon the effective length of strip as adjusted.
  • Mechanism for the production of looped fabrics comprising two sets of needles, a casing, the needles of one set being guided in displaceable fashion in said casing, a bar on which the other set of needles is mounted and constituting with its needles a rake, a control plate for engaging and pushing the needles of said first set temporarily between the needles of the other set so as to be able to pull an inserted thread into loops, said control plate having a variable guide edge for controlling the timed succession of the needle displacements between the needles of said rake, and means forming a receiving seat on the casing for insuring the position of said rake.
  • control plate has an adjustable portion on which the guide edge for the first set of needles is located.
  • control plate has a displaceable positioning plate on which the guide edge for the first set of needles is positioned.
  • control plate has a rotatably displaceable positioning plate on which the guide edge for the first set of needles is positioned.
  • variable guide edge is comprised by abutments and a flexible band passing over said abutments, the effective length of said band being adjustable.
  • the rake is removable from said receiving seat only crosswise of the plane formed by the thread when it has been pulled out into loops
  • said receiving seat being formed by two angular- 1y shaped holders connected together by means of an intermediate member, said holders having two oblique surfaces extending apart from each other at the top and disposed in the direction of the needle rake, said rake havingcorresponding oblique surfaces cooperating with the oblique surfaces of said holders, said oblique surfaces being provided with spring locking members for said needle rake.
